My Online Girlfriend Has a Twin Sister

Chapter 483: Chapter 311: Jiangg Yao’s Shock: What? I’m Going to Marry into a Wealthy Family

Jiangg Ning did her best to appear calm in front of Chen Yuan, but after walking out of the office and all the way to the underground garage, she sat motionless for a long time after getting into her car and fastening her seatbelt.

She tried desperately to quell the shock in her heart, taking one deep breath after another.

All the previous guesses the two sisters had made about Chen Yuan’s family were completely wrong. A rich businessman in real estate from a small county? A factory owner? None of it was even close. Jiangg Ning considered herself a perceptive person, but Chen Yuan being the heir to the Jiang Energy Group was just too outrageous.

’Sci-fi novels wouldn’t even dare to write a plot like this.’

It just went to show that reality was far more absurd than fiction; anything, no matter how ridiculous, could happen.

They hadn’t wanted to follow in Jiangg Ruxue’s footsteps and marry into a wealthy family. They came to Lanjing for a simple, ordinary romance, only to end up with a true scion of wealth. Even in a city like Kyoto, teeming with the rich and powerful, the heir to the Jiang Corporation was a top-tier status—the pinnacle of family backgrounds.

What a twist of fate.

The crucial point was that he was Jiang Zhengfeng’s only son... Jiangg Ning didn’t have to think hard to understand just how much he must be cherished.

She hadn’t lost her composure in front of Chen Yuan back in the office, but now, alone in her car, Jiangg Ning repeatedly pounded the steering wheel, sighing heavily.

She couldn’t say she was happy. In fact, her emotions were incredibly complex.

Because Chen’s family background was so good, Jiangg Ning was suddenly plunged into a state of immense pressure. She had always thought her own qualifications were excellent—she was educated and came from a good family. All of that was the source of her confidence.

When meeting Chen Yuan’s adoptive parents, it was precisely these qualifications that had made her so self-assured, thinking she could make Mr. and Mrs. Chen overlook their age difference. But as it turned out, it wasn’t Chen Yuan’s family who was marrying up—it was she and her sister!

The tables had turned in an instant.

’What a mess.’

Just like that, the foundation of her confidence vanished into thin air. With a family background like Chen Yuan’s, what kind of partner couldn’t he find? She was outstanding, yes, but there were plenty of people more outstanding than her... And how was she supposed to get past Jiang Zhengfeng?

’Would Jiang Zhengfeng, a businessman, be as simple and kind as Mr. and Mrs. Chen?’

’It’s hard to say.’

It’s easy to be accepting of someone from a lower status, but climbing up is exhausting. It would only work if Chen Yuan was dead set on dating her, being with her, and eventually walking down the sacred aisle of marriage, overcoming any and all obstacles.

Looking back on their tumultuous relationship, she had thought they had already overcome countless hurdles together, but it turned out the real obstacle had yet to appear.

’It seems a simple life was a luxury I couldn’t afford.’

Whether it was her or Jiangg Yao, if one of them truly married Chen Yuan, the long and difficult road ahead went without saying.

"No, I have to tell my sister about this right away." Jiangg Ning quickly changed her shoes and started the car’s engine.

She felt so suffocated holding it all in; she had to tell Jiangg Yao. She would only feel better after the two sisters could discuss it.

Facing this alone, Jiangg Ning felt like she couldn’t possibly manage.

...

A pair of hands, soft as if boneless, struck the heavy black and white keys. Elegant music flowed from the rhythmic tapping, bringing a sense of peace to anyone who listened.

The Jiangg Yao who played the piano was different from the Jiangg Yao at any other time. It was as if she became a different person the moment she sat before the instrument. Not only did she sit upright with perfect posture, but her expression and demeanor were completely unlike her usual self.

The normally boisterous girl would become uncharacteristically quiet.

A white dress, like a thin veil of gauze, draped over the chair beneath her. Combined with her simple, makeup-free face, Jiangg Yao looked like a pale porcelain doll, exuding a serene yet fragile artistic beauty.

No wonder Jiangg Ning used to lean against the doorframe and watch quietly whenever she played.

The scene was simply so captivating, enough to make Jiangg Ning forget her sister’s usual spoiled, bossy, and nonsensical antics. It made her seem like a sweet, pitiable girl who had stepped right out of a manga.

As the melody descended to a final rest, Jiangg Yao let out a breath and scratched her hair in frustration.

"Why can’t I get it right?! I’m gonna barf! Aaargh!" She flew into a rage, her face scrunched up in despair. In an instant, that fragile beauty vanished, replaced by the distinct aura of a weeb otaku, which shot right to the surface.

Otakus are masters of muttering to themselves and flying into impotent rages.

Jiangg Yao had been lying in bed scrolling on her phone when she came across a piece played by a famous domestic master musician. She listened, captivated, and was moved by a myriad of subtle emotions, so she found the sheet music to try playing it herself. But no matter how she played, she couldn’t capture the same feeling.

She practiced from one in the afternoon until three-thirty. At first, each failure fueled her determination, but after so much frustration, she started to feel hopeless.

Jiangg Yao gave up on practicing. She got up, walked into the living room, and went to the kitchen to grab some of the little cookies her sister had baked. She vented her frustration by stuffing several into her small mouth as she collapsed onto the sofa.

The rich, sweet flavor of the cookies crumbling in her mouth improved her mood slightly. She took out her phone and opened her chat with Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan still hadn’t replied to the message she sent at noon.

Jiangg Yao pouted, quite displeased. ’When Chen Yuan gets off work,’ she thought, ’I’m definitely going to ask him what’s going on. Was he so busy he didn’t even have time to look at a message?’

They had agreed to do some roleplaying behind her sister’s back tonight. If Chen Yuan didn’t give her a reasonable explanation, she was going to have to cancel this evening’s "special benefits."

Closing the chat window, a bored Jiangg Yao opened Taffy’s livestream.

DING-DONG—

The sound of the door opening came without warning.
