My Online Girlfriend Has a Twin Sister

Jiangg Ning paid no attention to any of this, working with all her might.

Even the veteran employees couldn’t bear to watch any longer and urged her to take a water break.

But Jiangg Ning repeatedly waved them off, insisting she was fine.

’Perhaps she understood that at a time like this, if she, as a family member, didn’t personally take care of everything, how could she expect anyone else to truly and sincerely help?’

Or maybe, that was just her personality—never feeling fragile simply because she was a woman.

Taking all this in, Chen Yuan couldn’t help but feel fortunate for his choice.

He had well and truly found his ideal partner.

...

The black business MPV drove into the Jiangg Family’s elegant courtyard. It was dusk, and the sun was setting.

The golden rays of the setting sun washed over the busy figures.

The family’s housekeeper, Ms. Liu, had already been waiting by the door. The moment she saw Jiangg Ning get out of the car, she rushed over.

"Miss... what in the world is happening? Why hasn’t Mrs. Jiangg come back for days!"

"The company’s in trouble," Jiangg Ning explained grimly. "I can’t explain everything right now. For now, Ms. Liu, please take these people to wash up, then clear out the main hall. We need to use it immediately."

"Yes, I’ll get right on it, Miss."

"Hurry, and don’t forget to make a pot of tea."

While Jiangg Ning was giving out instructions, Chen Yuan was already heading into the main hall, carrying bags of all sizes.

This was his first time at Jiangg Ning’s house.

He gazed at the artfully arranged smaller buildings, the elegant and tranquil courtyard, and the classical, antique-style decor of the main hall.

’The first time I came here was supposed to be for the marriage proposal... I never expected to arrive so suddenly like this. So this is where Ningning and Yaoyao grew up?’

Chen Yuan’s eyes swept around the room, finally landing on the doorframe at the entrance.

A small, Q-style cartoon girl sticker was stuck on the expensive, stately lacquered wood door, looking completely out of place. Chen Yuan reached out and grazed it with his finger, a smile playing on his lips.

’This had to be Jiangg Yao’s handiwork from when she was a child.’

...

After a flurry of activity, the living room was rearranged. Aside from the rug on the floor, nearly everything, including the coffee table, had been moved. Papers of all sizes were laid out in order.

They worked in teams of three, each group busy with a different task.

The division of labor was clear and specific.

Jiangg Ning was reviewing the contracts and compensation amounts, creating a list on a sheet of white paper. She was calculating furiously, her expression one of intense concentration.

Aside from the clatter of keyboards, the only sound in the living room was the call-and-response of two department heads reconciling accounts.

The tea that had been poured grew cold.

Only then did anyone remember it was there, picking up their cups for a sip.

The Jiangg Family’s housekeepers didn’t know what was going on. Seeing the group’s grave expressions, they didn’t dare to ask. They stood watching from a side hall, discussing in hushed tones.

"Mrs. Jiangg must be in trouble. It looks like this is serious, even the Eldest Miss has come back to help handle it."

"That’s right. You know Mrs. Jiangg—she never lets the Eldest Miss get involved in business."

"Hush, no more gossiping. We should go prepare dinner."

The head housekeeper had barely finished speaking.

when a car horn suddenly sounded in the courtyard. A moment later, a black Mercedes pulled in.

A man and a woman got out, one after the other.

The man’s name was Ji Hai. He was the former executive president of Lanjing’s Bauhinia Investment Company, a brilliant and capable top graduate discovered by Jiang Zhengfeng. Just two months after joining Bauhinia Company, he was assigned with Chen Yuan to Mrs. Jiang’s northern region as the Director of the Disciplinary Inspection Office.

The woman was Mo Nana, the former head of the Finance Department at Lanjing’s Bauhinia Company. Her father was Jiang Zhengfeng’s right-hand man and a very close friend. She was currently the Director of the Northern Region’s Project Audit Department.

Hearing the noise, Jiangg Ning looked out from the main hall. She was a little surprised to see the two of them, and her gaze shifted to Chen Yuan in astonishment.

"Don’t be surprised. There are too many prying eyes, so I had Ji Hai investigate President Qi’s background and the full story behind this incident. I have a feeling there’s more to this than meets the eye... As for Mo Nana, I asked her to come help you, so you wouldn’t be overwhelmed working alone."

"Fine." Jiangg Ning’s response to Chen Yuan’s arrangements was noncommittal.

Still, Jiangg Ning felt a little awkward. It’s perfectly normal not to want outsiders to know about your family’s troubles, especially when those outsiders are your own colleagues.

To her surprise, the moment Ji Hai walked in, he immediately waved Chen Yuan over.

"Chairman, come here a moment. I have something urgent to discuss with you."

He’d already sent Chen Yuan a message, so Chen Yuan knew he had uncovered some inside information. Without hesitating, he gave Jiangg Ning’s hand a reassuring squeeze and walked out the door.

That small gesture, however, sent a jolt through Jiangg Ning. The hand he’d touched trembled, and a blush began to creep up her cheeks.

Jiangg Ning’s gaze drifted over to Mo Nana, only to find that she was also looking right at her.

"There’s no need to hide it, Secretary Jiangg," Mo Nana said with a brilliant smile. "Ji Hai, Pei, and I have known for a long time that you’re the Chairman’s wife."

"’Chairman’s wife?’" At those words, Jiangg Ning’s face flushed, two patches of crimson appearing on her cheeks.

’That Chen Yuan was infuriating! He’d obviously told them already, yet she was the one kept in the dark, forced to pretend at the office that there was nothing between them.’

’In everyone else’s eyes, wasn’t that a classic case of protesting too much?’

A wave of embarrassed anger washed over her.

Meanwhile, Ji Hai had pulled Chen Yuan out into the courtyard.

Seeing that they were alone.

He took a file from his briefcase and thrust it into Chen Yuan’s hands, his expression grave.
