The company my elder brother works at is about to send out Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes, and I volunteered to help procure farm-produced bacon.
First, because it's delicious, and second, to support local farmers.
During the site visit, I took a few videos of the pig farm, posted them on my social media, and added some abstract captions.
"The true heiress is coming back, and I'm packing my bags to return to the countryside to raise pigs. Local black pork fed on fruit, interested parties contact ****"
A bunch of comments quickly appeared below.
Elder brother: Read.
Second brother: What, you're the one who occupied my sister's life for eighteen years? Butler, hang her on the city wall for me!
Younger brother: In three minutes, you'll be crying and saying, "Boohoo, I'll never play with abstractions again."
Sister: ... Thanks for the invite, already booked a flight, not coming back.
I replied to my sister: Boohoo, I'll never play with abstractions again! Sister, my dearest sister, please come back soon!
Mama: Is it really fed on fruit? Baby, buy some back.
I replied to my mom: Okay, mama! XOXO!
I'm the Huo family's fake heiress—a title I've given myself.
In reality, I'm the adopted daughter of the Huo family. When my sister Huo Qingming was abducted as a child, I was sold by nasty relatives to human traffickers. I partly depended on the strength of other big sisters and brothers, partly on protecting Miss Huo Qingming, to escape together.
Learning that my parents were both dead, and considering I was half a savior to Huo Qingming and had been sold and mistreated by relatives, the parents of the Huo family were deeply distressed.
Since then, I became the adopted daughter of the Huo family.
My sister had poor health but was extremely talented. She graduated from university at thirteen, went abroad for further studies, and by nineteen, she was already a lecturer overseas, basically a real-life Mary Sue.
Because of her poor health, she seldom returned home, but we had family video calls every night, and no matter how busy dad was, he would never forget.
And I, too, have been pampered as the young lady of the Huo family for so many years.
I have a boyfriend and a good best friend, both of whom I met in college.
The Huo family is indeed considered wealthy, and I have known the ways of the world since young, but I didn't tell anyone about my family's situation.
Even my boyfriend Tang Wenbin and my best friend Mao Yingying only knew my family was very rich.
I thought I was already open enough.
Never expected, the day after I posted that on my social media, I got a call from Tang Wenbin.
He sounded urgent: "What did you mean by that post on social media? What fake or real heiress, aren't you your family's daughter?"
I teased him on purpose, replying sadly: "No... The real heiress is back, I'm just an adopted daughter with no blood ties."
Honestly, I was telling the absolute truth!
"Honey, if I get kicked out of the house, what will I do? Will you take care of me, boohoo..."
I pretended to cry and act spoiled.
Many times, when I said this, Tang Wenbin would helplessly reply: "Of course I'd take care of you, you're my most beloved baby!"
But this time was different.
He seemed really hung up on the true or fake heiress issue, asking me over and over.
"Stop joking, is this true or false?"
I got a bit upset.
Being naturally spoiled, I directly threw out a paternity test, enlarged the screenshot.
"After testing, the tested father Huo Tianba is not the biological father of the daughter Huo Zhiwei..."
There was also a red seal to prove it.
Extremely glaring.
