Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

Chapter 993: So You Want Me to Go Home and Inherit the Family Money?

Editor: Henyee Translations

In fact, not only Yan Xi but also the serious and silent bodyguards behind Tong Rao wished they could echo her words. However, they didn’t dare.

Tong Rao was taken aback by Yan Xi’s boldness. It was the first time she had encountered someone so shameless.

Despite this, Tong Rao had no intention of using money for humiliation; she didn’t see it as a luxury she could afford.

Sitting across from Yan Xi, Tong Rao scrutinized her closely and narrowed her eyes. “You don’t seem surprised by your identity?”

Yan Xi wasn’t surprised. Gu Yang had already tipped her off, but since Tong Rao and Gu Yang had a strained relationship, she chose not to mention Gu Yang.

Wasn’t it just to catch her off guard with a surprise?

Yan Xi decided to play along.

Yan Xi looked at Tong Rao with feigned surprise. “Oh, how surprising! I didn’t expect my mother to be the head of a wealthy family. I thought I was abandoned by some poor family that couldn’t afford to support me!”

Tong Rao frowned slightly and replied sarcastically, “With your exaggerated acting skills, it’s no wonder you’re in the entertainment industry.”

She didn’t take Yan Xi’s sarcasm to heart. After all, Gu Yang’s reaction to her abandonment had been far more intense. The fact was, she had abandoned Yan Xi, so Yan Xi’s anger was understandable. However, Tong Rao felt no remorse. She only felt wronged by those who dared to deceive, betray, or insult her.

Yan Xi, unfazed by Tong Rao’s sarcasm, smiled coolly. “So, are you suggesting I go home and inherit the family assets?”

Tong Rao was taken aback by Yan Xi’s proactive mention of the topic. While it slightly improved her mood, her expression remained icy. “You may return to the Tong family, but whether you have the right to inherit the family assets is another matter.”

Tong Rao had been shaken by Gu Yang’s refusal to inherit her billions, causing her to question herself.

Although this biological daughter didn’t quite meet her standards for a successor, she had good taste.

If Yan Xi showed any ambition to inherit the family assets, Tong Rao might consider bringing her back and nurturing her.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

“Alright, let’s go home, Mom,” Yan Xi said, moving to help Tong Rao.

Life was like a stage play; it was all about performance.

And she was content to be compensated for it.

“In any case, you’re not going to get far in the entertainment industry, so you might as well quit. If you want to be the Tong family heir, you can’t be just another actress,” Tong Rao declared, her tone as authoritative as ever, as if she could dictate others’ lives with a few words.

Yan Xi sneered internally but maintained her role as the compliant daughter. “Sure, but my five-year contract with Zhaofeng Entertainment isn’t up yet. The penalty for breaching it is quite steep, and I can’t afford it.”

Pleased by Yan Xi’s obedience, Tong Rao responded, “How much is it? I’ll cover it for you.”

Yan Xi feigned surprise. “Really? It’s not much—just three billion.”

“Three billion? What?” Tong Rao’s initial reaction was one of disbelief. After processing the amount, her casual demeanor abruptly shifted. Her voice sharpened as she demanded, “Are you sure it’s three billion and not three hundred thousand?”

“It’s three billion yuan. My boss believes I have great potential and will definitely win Best Actress awards in the future. The commercial value is immense. Earning 30 billion yuan is within reach, so a penalty of three billion yuan isn’t unreasonable, right?” Yan Xi boasted.

Tong Rao stared at her expressionlessly. After a pause, she sneered. “I underestimated you.”

Previously, Yan Xi had only sought five million yuan from Tiansheng Media in court. How had she ended up with a sky-high penalty of three billion yuan from Zhaofeng Entertainment? This suggested she had willingly agreed to such terms.

She must have known her true identity and been waiting for this moment.

At that moment, many people were leaving Zhenxiu Restaurant after Gu Yang’s class. Tong Rao spotted Gu Yang coming downstairs and called out, “Gu Yang!”
