Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 842 - 831: A Clichéd Substitute Life

"Today our Jingshu is eighteen years old, without realizing it, she’s grown into a young lady." Li Wen Yin said, looking at her beautiful daughter with immense emotion.

"Mom." Shen Jingshu’s cheeks blushed slightly at the words, seemingly a bit embarrassed.

"Originally mom wanted to celebrate grandly for you, but since you aren’t keen, let’s forget it. However, I can’t let your gifts fall short, see if you like it?" Li Wen Yin smiled as she took out a gift box.

Shen Jingshu opened the box revealing a delicate and luxurious diamond necklace, she smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Mom, I really like it, but isn’t this your favorite diamond?"

Li Wen Yin looked at her dotingly: "I have only one daughter, my things are your things."

However, upon hearing this, Shen Jingshu found it hard to smile, because she knew she wasn’t Mom’s biological daughter. Dad knew, brother knew, only Mom didn’t know.

Every time she thought about how everything she owned was stolen from another girl, she felt guilty. That’s why she didn’t want an adult ceremony, moreover, today wasn’t her real birthday.

Countless nights she wondered where the girl she replaced was now? Was she adopted by a good family? Or as Dad and brother said, long gone...

Shen Jingshu didn’t know her own feelings, guilty for accepting everything now, yet afraid it all might turn to nothing, so she dares not slacken for a single day - her grades, manners, violin...she must excel in everything, so that if the Shen Family’s real little princess returns one day, she will have a foundation to stand on.

"What’s with you today constantly staring at your Aunt Li?" Liu Lihua said with a playful reprimand to her son’s arm.

"I’m sorry, Aunt Li, I was out of line today." Song Tianji apologized quickly, but the doubt in his eyes still lingered.

Li Wen Yin asked casually: "Is there something strange about Aunt Li today?"

"No, it’s just that I accidentally met a girl a couple of days ago who looks about as old as Jingshu, but especially resembles you, especially the eyes, like carved from the same mold."

"It’s not unusual, there are millions of people in the world, having similar ones isn’t strange." Li Wen Yin said indifferently.

Song Tianji laughed: "Coincidentally, that girl said the same thing to me."

Li Wen Yin’s smile deepened: "Then that is truly fate."

But she didn’t care, Shen Mingcheng, Shen Jing’an, and Shen Jingshu were greatly shocked at heart, they all looked at him.

Shen Mingcheng asked seemingly nonchalantly: "Oh? Where did Tianji meet her?"

Song Tianji took a sip of tea and said softly: "At C University, seems to be a freshman."

Shen Jing’an was more concerned about another matter, asking cautiously: "Why were you at C University?" The next question he didn’t ask was, was it to find Jingshu?

"Tianji brother went to our school, why didn’t he look for me? Was it for something else?" Shen Jingshu seemed to perceive Shen Jing’an’s emotion, a simple sentence eased his mind.

But in Song Tianji’s heart, there was nothing but ridicule, knowing full well the girl he mentioned could be his long-lost biological sister, yet what Shen Jing’an cared more about was whether he had contact with Shen Jingshu. Of course, how could a sister lost since childhood compare to a lover who grew up together?

He understood, but still felt deeply that Ye Qiu was incredibly unfairly treated.

"Not much, just happened to pass by and take a look, didn’t expect to meet a girl resembling Aunt Li about fifty-sixty percent." Song Tianji smiled calmly, "Next time I pass by, I’ll definitely invite Jingshu sister for a meal."

"Did you ask her where she was from or her name?" Shen Mingcheng asked again.

His abnormal behavior aroused Li Wen Yin’s curiosity: "What’s up with you today? Why so suddenly concerned with an unknown child?"

"Nothing much." Shen Mingcheng hid his smile, "Just heard the child resembles you so was curious."

"Only came across accidentally, so didn’t imprudently ask the girl’s name." Song Tianji didn’t reveal what he knew, thinking that he set the lead today. If Uncle Shen truly cared, he’d certainly investigate.

Shen Jingshu also didn’t know her own feelings. She wondered, could that girl really be Mom’s true biological daughter? She exchanged a glance with Shen Jing’an, suddenly feeling liberated.

"No matter what, you are always my sister." When night falls and everyone rests, on the Shen Family’s balcony, Shen Jingshu and Shen Jing’an lay on loungers watching the stars.

"Brother." Shen Jingshu’s voice was choked, they exchanged a long glance, neither retracting their gaze, seemingly hinting at a different emotion, yet hidden without mutual discovery.

Shen Jing’an quietly held Shen Jingshu’s hand, just like when they were young, but both their fingers trembled slightly before settling down.

"Is brother going to find the girl who looks very much like Mom tomorrow?" Shen Jingshu asked softly.

"Hmm." Shen Jing’an replied faintly, "Don’t be afraid, regardless, you are the Eldest Lady of the Shen Family."

"No." Shen Jingshu smiled with serenity, "Everything I have is stolen from her, even if brother still sees me as a sister, the Eldest Lady of the Shen Family shouldn’t be me." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Seeing her smile utterly free of haze, Shen Jing’an felt a pang in his heart, silently vowed that he must remain Shen Jingshu’s support, no one could bully or see her lowly, even if she’s not his biological sister.

The Shen Family is considered a prestigious family in Province C, with Song Tianji aiding secretly. Hence, news about Ye Qiu quickly reached Shen Mingcheng.

Seeing the face resembling his wife’s by fifty percent in the photo, Shen Mingcheng’s expression finally fluctuated.

"Has C University conducted health checks this year?" He sternly asked the assistant.

"Not yet, but seems close, the day after tomorrow."

"Find a way to get this girl’s named Ye Qiu’s blood."

The assistant was shocked at heart, but remained composed on the surface: "Yes."

Meanwhile, Ye Qiu was unaware of having caught the eye of certain people. Though even if she knew, she wouldn’t do much, as from the start, she was prepared to recognize Li Wen Yin regardless of the Shen Family’s various motives. Her biological mother’s love for her was selfless.

It’s just that other people and matters in the Shen Family were unrelated to her, as long as this life doesn’t disturb her, she’d at least consider maintaining appearances.

Perhaps due to a motherly connection, Li Wen Yin unintentionally saw Ye Qiu’s photo in her husband’s study and without knowing why, tears poured down uncontrollably.

Why is it? Why does merely glancing at the girl in the photo cause such heartache?

Who is this girl, really?
