Fake Heir Want to Live
ch 1
Grandma
Beicheng, I have only one wish. I... I'm not asking you to treat Jungkook as your own daughter, just please take her back with you and look after her from now on...
On the hospital bed, the old woman tightly gripped the man's hand, her tone pleading.
On the hospital bed, the old woman tightly gripped the man's hand, her tone pleading.
Deep wrinkles creased her forehead and the corners of her eyes. Her hair was streaked with silver, and she spoke with some difficulty.
At the foot of the bed, the young boy was still immersed in the grief of his relative's impending death. His almond-shaped eyes were swollen and red. When he first heard the old woman's words, he didn't quite process them.
A few seconds later, his eyes widened in shock.
Jungkook
[What?! No way! They've finally reunited as a family, I shouldn't get in the way!]
The hospital room, which had been filled with quiet sobs, suddenly fell silent. Before the person on the bed could wonder why, the heart monitor flatlined.
Two years ago, Jungkook had transmigrated into a novel.
To save a kidnapped child, Jungkook had been stabbed in a vital area by a human trafficker.
One moment, he was on the brink of death, regretting not carrying more self-defense tools.
The next, he woke up in a soft bed with an elderly white-haired grandmother at his side, anxiously asking if he was feeling better.
Jungkook awoke in a hospital room. The old grandmother told him he had been admitted after accidentally falling into a lake.
As Jungkook regained consciousness, he repeatedly checked his chest for the wound, but found no trace of it...
Later, he realized he had transmigrated into a sweet romance novel he had read before.
And he was the story's biggest obstacle to the main couple's love - the vicious female antagonist, Jungkook.
Because the character shared his name, Jungkook had a particularly strong impression of this novel.
Jungkook had spent two years abroad. During that time, apart from Grandma Jeon,he hadn't met any other members of the Jeon Family.
Of course, Jungkook had lived quite comfortably those two years. The interest alone from his savings account was enough to support a good lifestyle.
Although he was deeply saddened by Grandma Jeon's passing - after all, she was his only relative in this world - Jungkook had also envisioned his future. He planned to live alone in his current villa, find a job somewhere, as he had enough money to support himself anyway.
However, surely the Jeon Family wouldn't be so heartless as to take back the villa, right?
After all, when he had transmigrated, the original Jungkook hadn't done anything yet, and hadn't even met the other members of the Jeon Family.
He would just live out his lonely but affluent life in M Country!
Clearly, Jungkook’s wish wasn't going to come true, because at this moment as he was already on a plane back to China.
On the Jeon Family's private jet.
The gazes of the Jeon Family members occasionally fell on Jungkook , who was seated diagonally in front of them, their eyes full of curiosity.
Jing Beicheng had rushed over to see his mother one last time. No matter how great the resentment, she was still the woman who had given birth to him and raised him.
But he hadn't expected to encounter such a surprising situation.
He was certain that in the hospital room that day, he had heard Jungkook’s voice, but he hadn't opened his mouth.
And he wasn't the only one who had heard it.
Jungkook, leaning against his seat, was gazing out the window. He appeared calm, but his heart was filled with frustration.
Jungkook
[Goodbye, my lonely but affluent future life!]
Everyone else in the cabin looked up, their gazes converging on Jungkook.
After many days, they had heard that voice again.
Jhope frowned slightly and was about to stand up when his older brother, namjoon, held him back.
Namjoon shook his head slightly, signaling him not to act rashly.
His deep eyes moved to the flight attendant serving nearby. She showed no reaction, instead blushing slightly under Namjoon’s gaze.
Namjoon shifted his gaze, took a sip of coffee from the cup in front of him, and discreetly looked back at Jungkook.
It seemed only certain people could hear this voice, such as the five members of his family.
Sitting across from Jungkook , Sobin curiously looked up. Seeing that his parents and two brothers hadn't spoken, he also restrained the meaning in his eyes.
But Jungkook still noticed his gaze and turned to give him a gentle smile.
Jungkook
[As expected of the female lead! She's truly beautiful!]
Sobin was momentarily stunned. When he recovered, he hurriedly forced a smile and nodded slightly at Jungkook.
Female lead? So he’s seen the shows I've acted in?
Sobin assumed Jungkook’s "female lead" comment referred to his roles in TV dramas and films.
However, what surprised him even more was Jungkook’s next thought.
Jungkook
[Money really does make things easier. If I hadn't hired a hacker, I would never have had the chance to send that email to namjoon’s computer.]
All the JeonFamily members in the cabin heard this sentence.
Lin Ruiqing's hand trembled slightly as she held her teacup, spilling some tea. The complex emotions in Jing Beicheng's eyes vanished in an instant as he quickly took the cup from her hand and wiped the water off her fingers with a napkin.
Biecheng
Did you get burned?
Lin Ruiqing shook her head, her gaze inevitably meeting Jungkook’s. She gave Jungkook a slight smile, then lowered her eyes to look at her now-dry fingers, lost in thought.
Jing Beicheng held her hand tightly, silently comforting her.
The two brothers, Namjoon and Jhope, were even more surprised. However, Jungkook didn't notice as he turned back to admire the scenery, his heart still full of sighs.
Seeing that Jungkook wasn't looking their way, jhope leaned close to Namjoon .
Jhope
Brother, was that email really sent by her?
Namjoon shook his head, his heart also extremely conflicted.
Three months ago, he had received an anonymous email. The subject line contained only three words - Jeon Sobin location.
Sobin was his brother who had gone missing twenty years ago. The family had been searching for him all these years, but without any results.
Then came this email, which only stated Sobin’s current location, with no other information.
He had traced the email's origin - it came from a foreign hacker.
But since it concerned his long-lost brother , he didn't want to ignore this uncertain lead.
Later, he sent people to the address mentioned in the email, and they truly found Sobin !
He quickly informed his parents of this news, and they brought sobin back home.
He just never imagined that the email had been sent by Jungkook .
Namjoon looked up, staring at Jungkook who was focused on admiring the scenery, listening to his dejected internal complaints.
This was his first time meeting this legendary 'brother ', and he was quite different from what he had imagined.
Every year, their father would go back to visit Grandma, but he had never paid much attention to jungkook as a person, and had never mentioned him to them.
Their first meeting was in Grandma's hospital room. He had been very sad then, and also somewhat nervous upon seeing them, appearing beautiful and well-behaved.
If he hadn't heard his inner thoughts, that's what he would have thought.
When their father proposed taking him back to China, he had been very surprised, acting as if he didn't want to trouble anyone.
At the same time, Namjoon had also heard Jungkook’s inner voice.
Jungkook
[You really don't have to trouble yourselves! It would be uncomfortable for both you and me if I went with you! Please! Just let me live out my lonely but affluent life on my own!]
Namjoon clearly saw the stiffness on his father's face, though it was quickly masked.
This Jungkook seemed quite different from what they had imagined.
I was waiting for the new updates but
I didn’t happened so I decided to write on my own
ch 2
Sobin had known from a young age that the parents who raised his were not his biological parents.
He hasn't seen his relatives since he was three years old.
Twenty years ago, Sobin and his Grandma Jeon went to an amusement park. That day, Grandma Jeon went to a restroom and never saw three-year-old Sobin again.
Sobin was taken by a man.
Within just two days, he was shuttled around various places, before the police found them and he was placed into an orphanage.
That's where he met his adoptive parents.
He had some recollection of being kidnapped at a young age, and his adoptive parents never hid the incident from him.
Five years ago, both adoptive parents became seriously ill and he had to take the responsibility of supporting the family. After trying various part-time jobs, eighteen-year-old Sobin entered the entertainment industry.
But, his adoptive parents passed away two years ago.
Three months ago, a man claiming to be his elder brother came looking for him, followed by a middle-aged couple and a slightly younger man.
After a paternity test, it turned out that these four were indeed his biological relatives.
However, before Sobin could familiarize himself with his new family, Jing Beicheng told him they were going to visit their grandmother overseas.
Even though Sobin understood the full picture of his kidnapping, he decided to go along and see the little boy that his grandmother brought back after he was kidnapped.
Looking back now, a lot has happened in the past few months. It seems like a lifetime's worth of events.
Sobin glanced at Jungkook, who was sleeping with his head tilted. He couldn't help but smile faintly. Jungkook appeared like a sweet, obedient girl, yet somehow different.
Lin Ruiqing's gaze also fell on Jungkook. She was thinking deeply, looking at the two boys ahead, as though in a daze.
Twenty years ago, Lin Ruiqing and Jing Beicheng had to go out and left three-year-old Sobin with Grandma jeon. Only Grandma jeon and Sobin were at home that day.
Lin Ruiqing even brought gifts back for Sobin , who was upset not being able to go with them.
But before she got home, she received a call from Grandma Jeon that binbin was missing.
She felt as though the sky had fallen upon hearing this. They checked the CCTV, filed a police report, and organized a search.
But there was no trace of Sobin ...
She blamed Jing Beicheng - why he had to go out that day. She blamed Grandma Jeon for taking the child out alone and above all, she blamed herself...
In that period, the atmosphere in the Jeon household was extremely gloomy. Lin Ruiqing was in tears almost every day. Jhope, too, cried every day, wanting his boy. Grandma Jeon felt tremendous guilt.
However, what angered her was not only the fact that Grandma Jeon lost him,but also that she brought another boy of the same age a month later!
The arrival of the boy was the last straw for Lin Ruiqing. Back then, she lost all sense of reason.
Outraged, she shouted at the little boy to get out, knocked everything off the table, and became uncontrollable.
Jing Beicheng held her tightly, leading the servants to take the other guests away until she was no longer agitated.
After that day, Lin Ruiqing never saw that boy again, nor saw Grandma Jeon.
Every year, Jing Beicheng went to visit Grandma Jeon abroad, but he never asked her to go with him. Occasionally, Namjoon would accompany him.
But she never heard any news about that boy from them.
After Grandma Jeon passed away, Jing Beicheng asked her if she would be willing to bring Jungkook back with her. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded.
This was her mother-in-law's last wish before she passed away. No matter what resentment existed, it should end at this moment.
Seeing Jungkook again, Lin Ruiqing felt conflicted and somewhat lost.
That once shy boy had grown into a young boy.
Lin Ruiqing realized that Jungkook was the only innocent one in the past incidents. He didn't do anything wrong, but Lin Ruiqing didn't want him to take over the life that should have belonged to her own son. That's all.
However, upon hearing that it was because of Jungkook that they found their daughter, Lin Ruiqing's feelings became even more complicated.
Biecheng
If you're still uncomfortable with him, I can arrange a separate place for him to stay after we go back.
Jing Beicheng's voice was soft as he drew his wife closer. He was worried about her feelings. Over the past few years, she had been anxious about bin in and had taken umbrage at Jungkook’s existence.
Although he had promised his mother to take care of junkook, if his wife was uncomfortable, he would choose to place Jungkook a bit further away.
After all, it seemed that Jungkook didn't really want to interact with them.
Thinking back to the voice he had heard that time, Jing Beicheng had a deep impression. Such a reserved expression coupled with a slightly playful voice, it was impossible for him not to remember.
Lin Ruiqing gently shook her head, watching Jungkook, who was still sleeping soundly, and moved closer to Jing Beicheng.
Lin Ruiqing
No need, he can stay here at home. After all, there's enough room. Besides, it's not safe for a ore to live alone outside.
Biecheng
Okay, you don't have to worry. He should be a good kid. It's good timing too since binbin just came back and now he has a companion
Lin Ruiqing
But will binnie be unhappy?
Biecheng
Do you see how binnie seems? Does he appear bothered to you?
Following his gaze, Lin Ruiqing found Sobin . At this moment, her eyes were full of curiosity and she was unabashedly staring at the sleeping Jungkook .
Seemingly to scrutinize what was so special about Jungkook .
Sobin bore no ill-will towards jungkook. Given how jungkook was an inadvertent pawn amidst the whole incident, and it was with Jungkook’s help that he could find his family more quickly, Sobin’s impression of Jungkook only got better.
Moreover, he was genuinely curious. Why could he and his family hear what was going on in Jungkook’s mind?
It seemed like the gaze from the person in front was too intense. Jungkook shifted slightly, which alarmed Sobin into retracting his gaze.
After a moment, he looked up to find that the person had just changed his posture and continued to sleep.
ch 3
After some hassle, Jungkook finally arrived at the Jeon family residence.
The Jeon family was one of the most prominent and influential families in North River. At the same time, their Jeon Group was a renowned internet technology company both domestically and internationally.
Biecheng
Jungkook , your room is on the third floor, first door on the left after you turn.Binnie’s room is on the same floor.
Jungkook, gripping his suitcase, politely nodded to Jing Beicheng.
Indeed, from their very first meeting, Jungkook had addressed the Jeon couple as Uncle and Aunt.
Even though his grandmother had told him multiple times that they were his father and mother, he stubbornly insisted on addressing them this way.
He thought it would make both parties more comfortable.
Namjoon
Let me help you take your luggage upstairs.
Jungkook
It's alright, Big Brother. I can manage it myself. The suitcase isn't heavy.
Jhope, lounging on the sofa, turned his face sideways and smirked coldly.
Jhope
Big Brother, he says he can handle it himself . No need to be so eager.
He wanted to see if he could really manage three flights of stairs.
"Jhope!" "Hobi!"
Jhope was the second son of the jeon family, founder and CEO of Startrack Entertainment.
Compared to his elder brother's steady and proper demeanor, Jhope leaned more towards a lazy, bad-boy type, with a hint of frivolity in his manner.
He was the person in this family who was least welcoming towards him, Jungkook had thought so since their first meeting.
After all, the malice in his eyes was still very obvious even now.
Jungkook’s lips curled slightly, his gaze meeting Jhope’s, confronting the hostility in his eyes.
Jungkook
Big Brother, Second Brother is right. I can manage it myself.
Jungkook
[Such a snarky comment, I bet he grew up drinking wind oil!]
Jungkook retracted the handle of his suitcase, gripped it firmly, and lifted it up. He glanced at Jhope , then turned and headed up the stairs.
Sobin turned to look at Jhope, then quickly followed Jungkook upstairs.
Jhope had heard Jungkook's inner thoughts. His eyes widened, and he was about to say something.
Jing Beaching frowned and walked over, standing in front of him.
Biecheng
Jhope, before we returned to the country, I asked for everyone's opinion. If I remember correctly, your personal objection was overruled. As per our usual practice, you should accept Jungkook living with us.
Indeed, regarding whether to allow Jungkook to live in the house, Jing Beicheng had called a family meeting. Of course, except for Jhope’s lone objection, the other four members had all agreed.
Following the family's long-standing principle of the minority submitting to the majority, Jhope’s objection had been overruled.
He pressed his lips tightly together, his eyes filled with resistance.
Seeing this, Namjoon and Lin Ruiqing also walked over.
Namjoon furrowed his brows, his eyes conveying disapproval.
Namjoon
Hope, you don't have to like Jungkook, but you can't keep treating him with this attitude.
Lin Ruiqing
That's right, hobi . Besides, you should be grateful to him. It's thanks to him that we were able to find binnie.
Jing Zeqian opened his mouth, wanting to argue, but seeing the three of them standing united before him, he felt deflated.
Jhope
Fine, fine. I'll just talk to him less in the future. Is that good enough?"
Jungkook had also thrown cold sarcasm at him and called him wind oil!
Even though he had only thought it in his mind, everyone had heard it!
Why was he the only one being scolded?
Jhope crossed his arms and leaned back on the sofa, his expression still somewhat dissatisfied.
Jungkook had also thrown cold sarcasm at him and called him wind oil!
Even though he had only thought it in his mind, everyone had heard it!
Why was he the only one being scolded?
Jhope crossed his arms and leaned back on the sofa, his expression still somewhat dissatisfied.
Meanwhile, Jungkook had managed to carry his suitcase up to the third floor in one go.
Placing the suitcase at the top of the stairs, Jungkook dusted off his hands.
That was easy enough.
Jungkook turned her head to look left, just about to pull his suitcase over, when Sobin caught up.
Sobin
Um, about Second Brother...
Jungkook
It's alright, Miss Jing. I don't mind.
Jungkook
[He's just wind oil personified, it's not worth getting upset over.]
Sobin
Then let me show you to your room.
He stepped forward to help Jungkook i push the suitcase. Feeling its weight, he gave a surprised look at the person beside him.
He had thought the suitcase wasn't heavy, since Jungkook had carried it up three floors in one go, but he felt its weight as soon as she tried to push it.
Jungkook’s lips curved into an arc, blossoming into a shy smile.
Sobin smile became even more evident.
He led Jungkook to the room and pushed the suitcase inside.
Jungkook peered inside, his first reaction being that the room was huge.
The room was predominantly cream-colored. It didn't look like a bedroom, but more like a fully equipped suite.
Bedroom, walk-in closet, master bathroom, floor-to-ceiling balcony - it had everything.
Although Jungkook had mentally prepared himself, having already been shocked once when he first arrived at the Jeon residence, he still couldn't help feeling amazed at the sight before his.
Sobin
The room has already been cleaned. This is the walk-in closet, with the dressing room inside. That's the bathroom, and the balcony offers a view of the Jiu River. The night view of North River is also spectacular.
Sobin
Also, besides Dad, Mom, and your two brothers, you might see Uncle Li and Aunt Wang. Uncle Li is the middle-aged man you met when you got out of the car earlier. He's the family's butler, and you can ask him if you have any questions. Aunt Wang should still be busy in the kitchen...
Jungkook
[he is really such a gentle person. No wonder she's the female lead!]
Sobin
Am I talking too much?
Jungkook
Not at all. I'm very grateful for Miss Jeon's introduction.
Sobin
Then let's formally introduce ourselves. Hello jungkook, I'm Jeon Sobin
Jungkook
Hello Sobin , I'm Jungkook.
