My Online Girlfriend Has a Twin Sister

Chen Yuan was caught in a state of extreme, agonizing conflict. He unconsciously clenched his fists, his gaze fixed on Jiangg Ning.

He could be willful this once, selfish this once. Even with all her abilities, Jiangg Ning couldn’t stop him.

If a person’s will was firm enough, it wouldn’t be swayed by anyone.

And in this world, there were few things that couldn’t be accomplished.

Besides, with the support of his family background, it was always easier for Chen Yuan to get what he wanted than it was for an ordinary person.

’But should I really do this?’

Respect... The respect Jiangg Ning wanted. Chen Yuan asked himself, and he had always given it to her. Since they had decided to be intimate partners, to draw a line between themselves and the cheap, fast-food lifestyle of the world, mutual respect was indispensable.

But compared to the happy, three-person family he wanted...

’Is respect really that important?’

Countless times, he had zoned out, staring into space with his chin in his hand, thinking about how the three of them had gone from being in love to slowly drifting apart. He thought about the happy life that existed only in his mind...

Was it all just a pipe dream?

No, it wasn’t.

A fuzzy, bubble-like scene, an image he could never see clearly, gradually began to sharpen. It started to play before his eyes like a slideshow.

A marriage proposal, an engagement party, a distant foreign country, the three of them standing on the wedding stage.

Countless friends and family, genuinely blessing the marriage, were sitting or standing, applauding with hopeful smiles. His band of rowdy friends were shouting and jeering playfully.

And he was holding Jiangg Ning’s and Jiangg Yao’s hands, raising them high.

Like a soldier returning in triumph.

The joy of true victory glimmered at the corners of his mouth.

...

Such a scene seemed to be within Chen Yuan’s grasp.

No one could have imagined that Jiangg Ruxue would get into such enormous trouble—so much so that even selling all her assets wouldn’t be enough to clear the debt. Without help, a prison sentence was simply unavoidable.

Even if she hired the best lawyer in the world.

If Jiangg Ning had known this was the situation, she wouldn’t have dared to let Chen Yuan come with her.

Chen Yuan’s original plan had been to not make a move unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, not only would he fail to win the sisters’ forgiveness, but he would also expose the fact that he knew what was happening and didn’t report it, which would do more harm than good.

But now, such a golden opportunity was laid right before him. Who could resist being tempted?

Chen Yuan finally couldn’t hold back any longer. His lips moved a few times as he was about to speak.

But the next second, Jiangg Ning suddenly tugged on his arm. She frowned at him, her expression tense.

"Even if you really use this opportunity to help me, I can’t use myself and Yaoyao as a trade. Can’t we just talk things over?"

Jiangg Ning lowered her voice, simultaneously glancing nervously toward Jiangg Ruxue, afraid she might overhear.

Fortunately, Jiangg Ruxue didn’t notice their exchange just then. She was lost in anxious speculation.

"Is this a question of whether you ’can’ or not? If I go to your mom right now and demand that you two marry me, do you think she’ll agree?"

"She can’t make decisions for me and Jiangg Yao. We are us, she is she."

"You won’t just stand by and watch her go to prison. That’s no place for someone who’s lived a pampered life. Once she agrees, the wedding will happen at the same time as this dispute is settled. Whether you two want to get married or not, you will."

Chen Yuan didn’t even try to hide his rapacious ambition. Following Jiangg Ning’s lead, he laid his thoughts bare.

’It’s a perfect plan.’

Once Jiangg Ruxue’s case was settled, the two sisters would already be daughters-in-law of the Jiang Family, married in name and in fact. What would be the use of regretting it then?

No matter what, Jiangg Ning and Jiangg Yao wouldn’t be able to escape his grasp.

Hearing this, Jiangg Ning’s beautiful eyes gradually widened, filled with disbelief.

She never thought Chen Yuan could be so despicable, and that he would be so shameless about it!

"You’re shameless!" she blurted out.

"Keep your voice down. If your mother hears, I’m not taking responsibility."

Jiangg Ning quickly glanced in Jiangg Ruxue’s direction, meeting her somewhat puzzled gaze.

"Even if you get me and Yaoyao through these kinds of tactics, will I be happy? Will *she* be happy?! Even if we get married... then... then we’ll just be in a cold war. An unhappy marriage is a complete and utter tragedy, do you really want that? I can ignore you for a day... for ten days, a hundred days!" Jiangg Ning was flustered, stammering out a threat.

But the threat had no bite to it at all.

"I don’t care. If I can’t win your heart, so be it. I’ll have a lifetime to coax you, anyway."

"Who wants you to coax them?"

Jiangg Ning was about to lose her composure. Her face was flushed red. She was furious but didn’t dare say it out loud, so she could only hold it in.

The most crucial thing was that the initiative was completely in Chen Yuan’s hands.

Before, she would talk to him when she felt like it and give him the cold shoulder when she didn’t. No matter how many times it happened, Chen Yuan would always come running back to coax her, and she would torture him by watching his fawning displays.

Only then would Jiangg Ning feel like she had let out her resentment.

It was his own fault for always spouting such unrealistic nonsense about marrying two women.

Now, that unrealistic dream was about to be realized. Chen Yuan was being so blatant, so shameless, that nothing she said could stop him.

On one side was the trouble her family was in; on the other were the principles she held dear.

Inside Jiangg Ning’s heart, a scale was tipping back and forth, and her eyes flickered restlessly.

’Why... does it always have to be so painful?’

...

"Open the door immediately, I command you! This is an arrest warrant from the police department!"

Just as the situation in the room grew exceptionally tense, a cold shout broke the silence.

The three people in the office all looked toward the door.

The moment the door was pushed open, four or five uniformed police officers walked in, their faces grim. They were holding up a panicked, short-haired woman behind them.

"Gao?!" Seeing her arrested employee, the color instantly drained from Jiangg Ruxue’s face.

"Ms. Jiangg," the leading officer said coldly, "you are a suspect in a financial fraud case. The evidence is conclusive. We have also received a formal report from Daxia Capital Company under their real name. This is the arrest warrant. We have the right to take you into custody for investigation and questioning. Now, please come with us."

"You can’t arrest me," Jiangg Ruxue said, backing away in a panic. "I just spoke with Daxia Company yesterday. They said they’d give me time."

"Please cooperate, Ms. Jiangg!"

The officer’s face was stern and unforgiving.

Behind him, countless pairs of eyes were crowded at the office doorway, peering in.

The low murmur of whispers added an invisible pressure, making the atmosphere in the room even more oppressive.

No one had expected the punishment of the law to come so quickly.

Just as Jiangg Ning was about to stand up and intervene, Chen Yuan grabbed her hand and stepped in front of her.

Chen Yuan shook his head grimly.

"Detention isn’t a bad thing. We can figure something out. When you do something wrong, you have to pay the price... This isn’t a simple case. We’ll talk about it later."

"But..."

"No buts. Listen to me."

Jiangg Ning had never seen Chen Yuan so serious.

She looked back and saw Jiangg Ruxue backed into a corner, her gaze filled with pity.

No matter how bad this woman was, she was still her mother.
