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

Two racing cars appeared at the Shanchi Racing Track, competing head-to-head.

A red and a white car were battling for first place, their competition seemingly intense.

However, only Jing Yi knew that she wasn't really trying her best, just to avoid making Wang Boqi lose too badly.

Unlike her usual focused demeanor while holding the steering wheel, Jing Yi had time to observe Wang Boqi's car, a mocking smile playing at her lips.

It seemed the young master of the Wang family really wanted to win.

But she deliberately wouldn't let him have his way!

Jing Yi's eyes suddenly changed, as she adjusted the steering wheel back and forth, executing a simple drift at the upcoming curve to overtake the white car.

Jing Yi drove straight toward the finish line, while Wang Boqi, slightly behind, gripped his steering wheel tightly, staring at the red car ahead with intense dissatisfaction.

This wasn't his first time accompanying Jing Yi to the race track, but he had never beaten her. What's more, Wang Boqi had the distinct feeling that she was just toying with him, like playing with a dog.

This filled Wang Boqi with deep resentment and humiliation.

Yet each time, Jing Yi would put on an expression of admiration and joy, leaving him nowhere to direct his emotions.

When the white car crossed the finish line and stopped, Wang Boqi stepped out with no trace of negative emotions on his face, maintaining his usual gentle and gentlemanly demeanor.

Jing Yi removed her helmet, smiling brightly, "Boqi, you were amazing! I almost couldn't beat you!" She figured it was appropriate to say something diplomatic, otherwise this young master might have a breakdown.

Wang Boqi's expression froze momentarily before quickly recovering his smile. "Really? So I've been acknowledged by a professional racer?"

Jing Yi seemed amused by his words, "As if you need anyone's acknowledgment!"

Just don't let this get out! She had worked hard to maintain her second-place ranking, and a few words could ruin her reputation!

After one lap, both tacitly agreed not to suggest another race.

Jing Yi felt it was frustrating having to deliberately let Wang Boqi win.

As for Wang Boqi, he wasn't particularly interested in racing to begin with. If it weren't for trying to cater to Jing Yi's interests, he wouldn't have stooped to playing along time after time.

Yet this Jing Yi seemed single-minded, making him lose face every time!

As they slowly walked to the stands, Wang Boqi casually brought up Jing Yi's Financial Management major.

Jing Yi looked uncomfortable, wondering if he was planning to test her professional knowledge. She had barely managed to graduate, how could she remember all those details now!

Wang Boqi caught every nuance of Jing Yi's expression, a cold smile flickering across his lips.

Her reaction seemed to confirm his suspicions.

This made things easier; since they were cut from the same cloth, Wang Boqi felt no need to probe further.

"Yi Yi, have you ever thought about showing your talents at Hengjing? It would be a waste of your overseas education otherwise."

His voice was very deep, like a demon tempting humans to trade their souls.

Jing Yi's pupils constricted slightly. Here it comes!

She avoided Wang Boqi's gaze, her expression evasive, "Boqi, what are you saying? You know I'm just an adopted daughter of the Jing family..."

Just a coward who dares to dream but not show it - this was Wang Boqi's assessment of Jing Yi's reaction.

However, he thought, this might be better; such people are easier to control.

Wang Boqi chuckled, his eyes gleaming with cold malice where Jing Yi couldn't see.

"Yi Yi, are you holding back even with me?"

Jing Yi's eyes showed hesitation and struggle, and Wang Boqi knew it was time to add fuel to the fire.

"I just don't want your dreams to shatter, especially after you've prepared for so many years."

Jing Yi lowered her head, concealing the deeper meaning in her eyes.

So, this was Wang Boqi's biggest bargaining chip.

Jing Yi's eyes flickered slightly, realizing that Wang Boqi must have investigated everything about the original Jing Yi's life abroad.

He knew about the original Jing Yi's feelings for Jing Zejun, her thoughts about the Jing family, and even her ambitions regarding Hengjing, which was why he was so confident.

So, 'her' biggest weakness lay here.

"Yi Yi, you know that while our Wang family may not be all-powerful, we certainly have more than enough influence to help you take over Hengjing."

Jing Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, keeping her head down to prevent Wang Boqi from noticing anything amiss.

What nonsense! If they were really that powerful, how could the Jing family have become the dominant force in North River region fifteen years ago?

Jing Yi concealed the mockery in her eyes, and when she looked up again, her expression showed wariness, "Wang Boqi, you investigated me?"

At this moment, Jing Yi was like someone whose mask had been stripped away, trying to maintain composure while clearly flustered.

Wang Boqi was unfazed, his gentle and indulgent expression masking the triumph in his eyes as he stepped forward and took Jing Yi's hand.

"Yi Yi, I like you, so naturally I want to know everything about you!"

Jing Yi's eyelashes trembled. What did I just hear?! Is that your excuse for invading someone's privacy?

Seeing Jing Yi softening, Wang Boqi gripped her hand tighter, "So I want to help fulfill every single one of your little wishes."

Jing Yi didn't know where to begin criticizing, but the current situation left no time for that.

She needed to make Wang Boqi believe his words had moved her.

Jing Yi slowly raised her head, still with those bright sparkling eyes, now filled with emotion, "Boqi, thank you! No one has ever been so good to me..."

Contempt flashed in Wang Boqi's eyes. See? Whether it's Jiang Miaomiao or Jing Yi, they're all the same, equally easy to manipulate.

But Jing Yi didn't agree immediately. Her expression showed some hesitation, "However, I need a few days to think about it." Wang Boqi gladly agreed.

As night fell, in Jing Zeyou's study

Jing Zeyou narrowed his eyes, "He's ready to begin?" Jing Yi nodded, saying she could feel Wang Boqi pushing her step by step toward a decision, so this couldn't be just a test.

If that's the case, she'd add some fuel to the fire!

Jing Yi looked at Jing Zeyou with bright eyes, enthusiastically suggesting, "Big brother, isn't my birthday coming up soon? Let's send Wang Boqi an invitation."

Jing Zeyou's eyes showed disapproval, "You want to put on an act for him at the party?" This would be Jing Yi's first birthday since returning - how could they ruin it for someone like Wang Boqi?

"It's not me who'll be acting, it's all of you."

If Wang Boqi truly saw how the Jing family appeared 'indifferent' to her, he would surely become more proactive.

"Isn't that the same thing?" This was no different from directly ruining Jing Yi's birthday party.

Jing Yi waved her hand dismissively, feeling it made no difference to her. She would have to play the role of an elegant young lady from a wealthy family anyway.

Since everyone had to act, they might as well all do it together, keeping everyone busy.

Jing Zeyou: ...That's not what I meant at all.
