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

Chapter 18

Jing Yi's guess was correct; she really did become a delivery person.

At this moment, Jing Yi was eating a health-conscious meal prepared by Aunt Wang, together with Lin Ruiqing and Jing Beicheng.

It wasn't that the hospital hadn't prepared food, but she still felt that Aunt Wang's cooking tasted better!

With Jing Yi's constant mentions, Lin Ruiqing, who had initially thought the hospital food was quite good, also began to miss Aunt Wang's cooking.

Jing Beicheng had no choice but to ask the doctor about dietary restrictions.

Jing Yi finally got her wish and was able to eat Aunt Wang's health-conscious meal!

Although it wasn't quite the same as their usual meals, it had its own unique flavor!

So far, Jing Yi's caregiving duties had been relatively easy. The only problem was that, while she was supposed to keep Lin Ruiqing company and alleviate boredom, she had no idea what to talk about with her.

Fortunately, when she was there, Jing Beicheng was usually present too. So Jing Yi could comfortably play the role of a silent mascot.

Things often don't go as smoothly as imagined. Today, Jing Beicheng suddenly announced that he needed to return to Hengjing to handle some work matters.

For Jing Yi, this was like a bolt from the blue.

[What's going on with big brother? The company has been handed over to you, yet you still need uncle to step in to resolve issues! You're really letting down my trust in you!]

Although Jing Beicheng felt the same way, he was still a director of the company, and there were some matters that required his presence.

No matter how much Jing Yi wailed, Jing Beicheng was determined to go today.

After giving Jing Yi a few instructions, he said goodbye to Lin Ruiqing.

He hadn't even reached the door when he heard Jing Yi's voice again.

[So much for always staying with auntie, men's words are all lies!]

Jing Beicheng's mouth twitched slightly; this girl was becoming more and more unruly. He turned his head to see his wife's smiling eyes, and helplessly opened the door to leave.

The atmosphere in the hospital room quieted down. Jing Yi lowered her head slightly, her hands intertwined, constantly pressing her pink-tinged nails.

[Quick! Quick! Say something, the atmosphere is getting awkward!]

Lin Ruiqing didn't feel awkward at all. She had been listening to Jing Yi's voice and found it quite interesting.

She wore a gentle smile on her face.

Since Jing Yi had come to their home, they hadn't spent time alone like this.

She got along well with Zejun and Zeqian, but when it came to her and Jing Beicheng, Jing Yi still seemed a bit reserved.

Lin Ruiqing's smile faded a little. Seeing that Jing Yi was still feeling awkward, she said, "Yiyi, if you're bored staying here, you can go out for a walk. There are doctors and nurses here, so don't worry about me."

Jing Yi was taken aback and quickly said, "How could I do that? How could I leave you alone in the hospital room..."

Jing Yi realized that her earlier behavior might have made Lin Ruiqing think she was bored. She felt a bit frustrated. It wasn't that she was bored; she just didn't know how to interact with elders.

Jing Yi was an orphan, even before she transmigrated into this world.

The grandmother at the orphanage said that she had been left at the orphanage door one winter. She was a newborn, very healthy, without any illnesses.

Sometimes she wondered why her parents couldn't have waited until spring to abandon her.

Didn't they worry that no one would discover the small bundle and that she might freeze to death at the door?

Jing Yi grew up in the orphanage, knowing from a young age that she was an abandoned child.

At first, she wasn't indifferent to it. She would mind when others said she had no parents, or when they said she was dumped at the orphanage.

The grandmother was old, and there were many children in the orphanage besides her, so she had to solve many problems on her own, like having money stolen or being trapped in the bathroom. She resolved everything by herself.

There was no need to complain to anyone or act coy with anyone; she could solve everything.

So when she was able to earn money, the first thing Jing Yi did was learn Sanda (Chinese kickboxing).

Because some people really don't understand words!

Later, she managed to finish high school while working part-time and successfully received a university admission letter.

She thought her life was about to start a new chapter.

But then she discovered human traffickers and was stabbed in a vital spot while trying to save a child.

In the moment before she closed her eyes, Jing Yi's only thought was that it was good she had called the police before following them.

When she opened her eyes again, it was in another world.

After transmigrating, Grandma Jing's affection initially made her feel a bit at a loss. Later, she discovered that Grandma Jing gave her a feeling similar to the grandmother at the orphanage.

They got along very well for those two years.

Jing Yi never knew how to interact with elders; the only elders she had contact with were the grandmother at the orphanage and Grandma Jing.

She knew even less about how to interact with parents. Although Jing Beicheng and Lin Ruiqing weren't her actual parents, treating them according to that hierarchy should be correct.

Jing Yi felt a bit deflated, her whole body drooping, looking somewhat pitiful.

Lin Ruiqing was about to speak to tell her not to overthink, but Jing Yi spoke first.

"I'm sorry, Auntie. It's not that I don't want to keep you company and am deliberately putting on a long face. I just don't know how to interact with you..."

[Elders probably all like more obedient girls, but I don't know what type of girl Auntie likes. Could it be the elegant and dignified type? If I didn't have to talk, maybe I could pretend, but I'm here to chat and relieve boredom! How can I not talk at all? But the problem is, if I talk too much, I might break character!]

As Jing Yi's thoughts wandered further, Lin Ruiqing's gentle voice came through, "Yiyi, come sit here."

Lin Ruiqing patted the soft stool next to the hospital bed, gesturing for Jing Yi to sit beside her.

Jing Yi gently bit her lip and walked to the bedside to sit down, her whole being exuding an air of unease and discomfort.

Lin Ruiqing gently stroked Jing Yi's head, speaking in a soft and gentle voice, "Actually, I'm the one who doesn't know how to interact with you."

Lin Ruiqing looked at Jing Yi in front of her, recalling how they looked when they first met.

"You might not remember, but when you first came, I had a very bad attitude towards you. I thought you were brought by my mother to humiliate me. My Junjun was gone, but how could they bring back a child of about the same age, preparing to replace her..."

Jing Yi didn't know what to say, so she lowered her head and listened as Lin Ruiqing continued.

"I was very angry and told you to get out. You were very scared at the time, tightly holding onto your grandmother's sleeve, your body trembling slightly. Later, she took you away."

The encounter in Grandma Jing's hospital room was the first time Lin Ruiqing had seen Jing Yi since she had grown up. Lin Ruiqing's emotions were complex at the time, and in her complexity, she overlooked the panic in her heart.

She didn't know how to talk to Jing Yi, so she simply didn't speak.

"Then you came to the Jing family. I've actually wanted to say thank you to you for a long time."

[Thank you?]

Jing Yi looked up, somewhat confused.

Lin Ruiqing smiled, her gaze still gentle as she looked at Jing Yi.

"Thank you for being willing to return to the Jing family together."

Thank you for helping me find Junjun, thank you for being willing to integrate into the Jing family, and thank you for insisting on bringing me for this check-up...
