The Fake Heiress's Inner Thoughts Were Heard by Her Entire Family

Chapter 85

When Jing Zeqian and Wen Qingyan arrived, Jing Yi and the others had already settled into the cliffside villa by the sea that Jing Zeyou had booked in advance.

The villa featured floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides, making full use of the surrounding natural scenery and perfectly reflecting the colors of the sea and sunlight. It was truly beautiful!

Just outside the villa was a massive infinity pool connected to the ocean, with sofas and lounge chairs nearby - the perfect spot to take in the sea view.

However, Jing Zeqian was in no mood to appreciate the scenery or the beautiful house. He stormed into the villa.

"Where's Jing Yi?!" He knew very well that the only person who would think to abandon him on the roadside was Jing Yi.

Jing Zeqian didn't see Jing Yi, but he saw Jing Zejun walking towards him, her eyes glancing towards the sofa.

The sofa faced the glass windows, so Jing Zeqian couldn't see who was sleeping on it.

Jing Zejun tugged at Jing Zeqian's sleeve and said softly, "Second brother, keep your voice down. Yi just fell asleep."

After driving for several hours, Jing Yi had still been full of energy when they arrived. But after sitting on the sofa for a while, gazing at the scenery outside, she had dozed off.

Jing Zeqian frowned slightly. "Why didn't you tell her to go sleep in her room?"

"I was afraid waking her up would make her not want to sleep anymore." Besides, the sofa was wide enough to serve as a bed for resting.

Seeing that he understood, Jing Zejun went out to unpack.

Jing Zeqian softened his footsteps and walked to the side of the sofa.

Jing Yi was curled up on the sofa, her sleeping face peaceful. Her long eyelashes cast a faint shadow, giving her a more serene look than usual.

She seemed to be in a deep sleep, not even stirring when the blanket had nearly slipped off.

Jing Zeqian muttered quietly to himself, "At least she looks well-behaved when she's asleep." He carefully pulled the blanket up to cover her better, then left the living room.

[Young Master Jing is so gentle!]

[When he's not bickering with Jing Yi, Young Master Jing is seriously handsome.]

[But I quite enjoy watching the siblings bicker. It shows how close they are.]

[From Jing Yi's perspective, the view outside is truly breathtaking!]

[Hey you above! How can you ignore such a handsome and gentle Young Master Jing!]

By the time Jing Yi woke up, dinner was ready. The table was laden with seafood.

Jing Yi changed into a black spaghetti strap top and light-colored jeans, then headed to the table to replenish her energy.

When she heard Jing Zejun say that everything on the table was prepared by Wen Yin himself, Jing Yi looked in surprise at Wen Yin, who was smiling shyly.

"Yin, you're amazing!" Wen Yin smiled bashfully. "It's not that impressive. My brother and Sister Zejun helped too."

Jing Yi still thought it was incredible. She had always believed that people who could handle seafood must be great cooks!

The garlic lobster in front of her had been thoughtfully cut into chunks. Jing Yi's eyes sparkled as she gripped her chopsticks.

"Well then, I won't stand on ceremony!"

"When have you ever stood on ceremony?"

Though Jing Zeqian's words were sharp, he still peeled a crab each for Jing Yi and Jing Zejun.

Jing Yi put a piece of lobster in her mouth, her eyes brightening even more. "This is so delicious! Yin, you really are a master chef!" Jing Yi began eagerly sampling the dishes.

Before long, Jing Zejun and Wen Qingyan gradually stopped eating. Jing Zejun had always been very disciplined about eating, and Wen Qingyan was about to start filming, so he was also consciously controlling his diet.

The group at the table started chatting.

Jing Zeqian suddenly remembered Jiang Miaomiao's text from that morning and looked up to ask Wen Qingyan, "Are you going to the company's celebration banquet at the end of the month?"

Celebration banquet?

Jing Yi stopped peeling her shrimp and looked up at Jing Zeqian.

Wen Qingyan hesitated slightly. After his manager had told him about this, he had secretly investigated but ultimately found nothing. However, he still felt that this banquet was not quite normal.

He casually inquired, "I heard Tao mention it. Why the sudden celebration banquet?" Due to the cameras still filming, Wen Qingyan spoke somewhat vaguely.

In fact, Jing Zeqian also found it strange. Jiang Miaomiao had been acting oddly recently, being all secretive. And while she had been frantically seeking publicity before, she had now entered vacation mode.

Now she wanted to hold a celebration banquet for an insignificant award. Even Jing Zeqian couldn't fathom what Jiang Miaomiao was thinking.

But after all, they had been friends for so many years. Jing Zeqian couldn't possibly reject a simple celebration banquet. "If she wants to hold one, let her. It's nice to have a lively gathering."

[Could it be Jiang Miaomiao?]

Jing Yi put down her shrimp and looked seriously at Jing Zeqian. "Second brother, this 'she' wouldn't happen to be who I think it is, would it?" The person beside her nodded.

Jing Zeqian felt like Jing Yi was interrogating him. He mentally crossed out the possibility of a good relationship between her and Jiang Miaomiao, not understanding where Jing Yi's hostility towards Jiang Miaomiao came from. But now wasn't the time to explain.

Jing Yi looked away and continued eating her shrimp.

[End of the month! I'll ask Jing Zeqian later and set a reminder!]

Jing Zeyou's gaze also turned towards them. Jing Yi did seem very concerned about this Jiang Miaomiao, but not in a fan-like way. Rather, she seemed wary. Why was that?

Jing Zeqian also wanted to know. Jing Yi had always disliked Jiang Miaomiao, so why was she suddenly interested in Jiang Miaomiao's celebration banquet?

And it wasn't just Jing Yi. He could sense that Jing Zejun and Wen Qingyan didn't have a good impression of Jiang Miaomiao either.

Nevermind, he'd deal with it after the banquet.

[Who is it? Who are they talking about? Stop being so cryptic!]

[Is it Startrack's celebration banquet? Did something good happen recently?]

[It looks like the Film Emperor Wen doesn't really want to go.]

[Isn't it Jiang Miaomiao's celebration banquet at the end of the month? I heard from my reporter friend that she's holding one then...]

[Sister Miaomiao's celebration banquet? But she only won the Golden Lotus Award recently.]

While the comments were still guessing, the people at the dinner table continued chatting.

Wen Qingyan said politely, "I have work that day, so I won't be able to attend." Jing Zeqian didn't say anything, but Jing Yi looked up. "Second brother, I'll go! Remember to call me when it's time."

Jing Zeqian looked at her suspiciously. She wasn't planning to cause trouble, was she?

Jing Yi glared at him. "What's with that look? Can't I just join in the fun? Jun, are you free at the end of the month? Let's go together!"

Jing Zejun originally didn't want to get involved. Her relationship with Jiang Miaomiao wasn't great either. But since Jing Yi brought it up...

She thought for a moment. The end of the month seemed clear. "I'm free. I don't have any work scheduled for those days."

Jing Yi looked triumphantly at her second brother, but before she could speak, Wen Qingyan chimed in.

"Mr. Jing, I just realized I should attend after all. It is an important celebration banquet, after all."

Jing Zeyou, Jing Zeqian, and Jing Yi: ...

As well as a suddenly blushing Jing Zejun, and Wen Yin, who found his brother embarrassing and buried his head in his food.
