After being diagnosed with a terminal illness, the fake heiress binds herself to a rough-looking man

The backstage area is in complete chaos.

Zhou Man, wearing Jiang Yu's thin coat, had cried so much that her makeup was ruined.

She cried as she pointed at Jiang Ruoruo.

"Tell me! Did you prepare this dress for Jiang Yu?"

"You stopped me from getting the clothes just now. If you had nothing to hide, why did you stop me?"

The female etiquette team members standing nearby kept their heads down, and none of them dared to go up and persuade them.

If you don't advise someone properly, you might get splashed with water.

Jiang Ruoruo's eyes instantly turned red, and her thin shoulders hunched over.

"Manman, I really didn't know the dress had been tampered with..."

Her voice trembled so much it was almost broken, "That's my sister's size. I stopped you because I was afraid it wouldn't fit you."

Zhou Man laughed in exasperation.

"The thing you prepared for Jiang Yu will crack? Are you trying to embarrass her?"

After those words were spoken, the backstage area became even quieter.

Jiang Ruoruo's tears fell in large drops: "I didn't! I was just trying to be kind..."

"She didn't want to wear it just now, and I didn't say anything. Manman, how could you think of me like that?"

Huo Ming'an strode forward and shielded Jiang Ruoruo behind him.

"Zhou Man, haven't you made enough of a scene? The clothes malfunctioned on an accident, why did you have to throw dirty water on Ruoruo?"

Zhou Man glared at him with bloodshot eyes.

"Young Master Huo, shut up! You haven't even cleaned up the mess you made this morning, and now you're here pretending to be some kind of righteous saint?"

Lin Xingran pinched Jiang Yu's arm furiously in the corner: "Amazing! When you're on the verge of death, your fighting power doubles!"

Jiang Yu watched the farce unfold with cold indifference.

A small ball of light popped into her head.

[Host! A dog-eat-dog backlash scene! So satisfying!]

Jiang Yu replied, "Don't be too happy yet. Jiang Ruoruo won't let this drag on for too long."

Why?

"She still has a backup plan."

Jiang Yu looked at Jiang Ruoruo.

Sure enough, despite her tears, Jiang Ruoruo kept glancing at the time on the wall.

She was in a hurry.

It wasn't because Zhou Man scolded her.

It's because the rehearsals were delayed.

They went to great lengths to get Jiang Yu on the list; they wouldn't just prepare a tattered dress.

This is just an appetizer.

The real dishes we're going to serve are probably still to come.

Jiang Ruoruo took a deep breath, took off her shawl, and wrapped it around Zhou Man.

"Manman, it's all my fault for not checking properly. Don't cry, my spare dress is still in the dressing room, you can wear mine for now."

Zhou Man was furious and raised her hand to lift it.

Jiang Ruoruo grabbed her wrist first.

"If you don't believe me, let's find out where this dress came from after the show. There are so many people waiting for rehearsals, we can't let us delay them."

That's a well-said statement.

They admit their mistakes, but they don't admit guilt.

If Zhou Man makes a scene again, it will be seen as her disregarding the bigger picture.

Several student council members backstage also started to persuade them.

"Manman, let's change your clothes first."

"Yes, the party is about to start, let's not drag out the proceedings."

"We'll talk about this later."

Zhou Man, seething with anger, gritted her teeth and was dragged into the changing room by several girls.

Before leaving, Jiang Ruoruo glanced at Jiang Yu through the crowd.

His eyes were sinister.

Jiang Yu understood.

She doesn't intend to admit to it.

And they will continue to perform.

Lin Xingran clicked her tongue: "She's really good at enduring things."

"That's called strong business acumen."

Jiang Yu opened the flowchart in her hand.

Huo Ming'an walked over with a sullen face and looked down at Jiang Yu.

"Satisfied now? Did you have to make things so ugly?"

Jiang Yu looked up: "Did I make a scene?"

"The skirt came out of your hands."

"I'm just reminding you that Ruoruo has just returned to the Jiang family, and she's been very kind to you!"

Jiang Yu closed the flowchart.

"You kindly shoved that skirt that's going to tear into me?"

She said she didn't know.

"Then you believe it."

Jiang Yu looked at him and said, "You two are a perfect match; one dares to speak, and the other dares to believe."

Huo Ming'an was speechless.

Lin Xingran added, "Lock it up completely, don't let it circulate in the market."

Huo Ming'an hesitated for a moment, then turned and left.

As soon as he left, Jiang Yu's phone vibrated.

Huo Li sent a message.

Are you alright?

It's okay. Someone else stepped on the landmine of the skirt.

Huo Li: [Intelligent.]

Jiang Yu couldn't help but smile.

Why are you using so few words to praise someone today?

Huo Li: [To be continued tonight.]

Jiang Yu paused.

What should I supplement?

To make up for the exaggeration?

Or... should we take care of it through physical actions?

Her ears started to burn, and she quickly tucked the phone into her palm.

A small ball of light floated out.

[Host, you now automatically make associations whenever you hear the word "supplement," which indicates your thinking is not pure.]

Jiang Yu retorted, "Who's it that makes me want kisses and hugs every single day?"

I did it to prolong my life.

"Me too."

On the other side, Zhou Man came out after changing into a dress.

Jiang Ruoruo stayed by her side, her eyes still red, as if she had just suffered a great injustice.

Zhou Man's anger hadn't completely subsided, but she couldn't afford to argue further in front of the teachers and student council members.

The counselor came over to ask about the situation.

Jiang Ruoruo spoke first: "Teacher, I'm sorry, there was a problem with the clothes just now, I didn't check them beforehand."

The counselor frowned: "Who provided the clothes?"

Jiang Ruoruo lowered her head.

"The student council brought them together. I just picked them up for my sister."

Zhou Man was so angry she wanted to speak.

Jiang Ruoruo grabbed her hand first.

"Manman was frightened just now, teacher. Could you let her rest for a bit? I'll go through the etiquette steps for her."

Zhou Man choked on her breath.

She wanted to curse.

But when Jiang Ruoruo came to her rescue, it sounded quite considerate to onlookers.

Jiang Yu watched from the side, a cold smile playing on her lips.

That's a pretty old-fashioned approach.

First, distance yourself from the situation, then conveniently do someone a favor.

Proficient in its use.

The counselor glanced at Zhou Man: "You should rest first. I'll ask about the clothing later."

Zhou Man bit her lip and remained silent.

Rehearsals continue.

Jiang Yu took the walkie-talkie and stood back on the side screen.

The lights came back on, and the music resumed.

Jiang Ruoruo changed positions and temporarily took over Zhou Man's etiquette and movement duties.

She walked very steadily.

Several student council members in the audience breathed a sigh of relief.

Huo Ming'an stood at the host's position, holding the microphone and looking at her with a hint of comfort in his eyes.

Jiang Yu felt a stomachache from watching it.

Lin Xingran leaned closer and said, "Don't you think their brain circuits complement each other? One's bad, and the other's stupid."

Jiang Yu: "Huo Ming'an isn't stupid."

Lin Xingran was stunned for a moment.

Jiang Yu looked at the stage and lowered her voice: "He's just not that sophisticatedly bad."

Huo Ming'an's gazes at her were not the result of a fool's momentary impulse.

The locators are all ready.

Beneath this person's skin lies a well-organized filth.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yu missed Huo Li a little.

She took out her phone, intending to send Huo Li a message saying "See you later."

Before she finished hitting him, Lin Xingran suddenly patted her arm.

"Yu Yu, look at the procedure."

Jiang Yu looked up.

The latest schedule for the gala was projected onto the big screen.

What was originally a regular interactive segment has been renamed.

The third chapter – Returning to One's Place.

Special Interview: Twenty Years of Real and Fake Heiresses.
