《Book Transmigration: Happy Ending With The Villain》 Chapter 1 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Yan Zhao, how dare you steal Muxue¡¯s Necklace!¡± ¡°Quickly hand over the necklace!¡± Three to five girls were questioning the tall and thin teenager. They could not produce any evidence, but they had already convicted him of a crime. At that very moment, Su Muxue¡¯s consciousness seemed to be wrapped up. She could hear sounds coming from far away, but it wasn¡¯t very realistic. Everything in front of her eyes was also hazy. All of a sudden, her five senses returned to her. She was then able to view the situation in front of her eyes clearly and memories that did not belong to her appeared in her mind. After briefly reviewing those memories, Su Muxue was shocked. Wasn¡¯t this the plot of a novel she had read? In the novel, the person with the same name as her was a vicious female supporting character. Under the pampering of her family, she grew into a simple-minded, arrogant, and domineering character. First, she provoked the person who would come to be the biggest villain later on, and later, she overestimated herself, fell for the male lead, and wanted to marry him by force! In the end, she naturally was just cannon fodder. Not only did she have to hand over her large family business, but she was even forced to jump off a building, dying a miserable death. However, according to the point of time now, it seems that the official plot has yet to begin. She had transmigrated to the most suitable point in time to change the ending! Su Muxue was a bit excited, but soon, her excitement was stopped by a cold judging gaze. The youth who was being questioned had a handsome appearance, a cold and distant temperament and he even disclosed a slight bit of gloominess. Even though he was at a disadvantage in a situation like this, not only did his attitude not reveal the slightest bit of embarrassment. In fact, everyone¡¯s attention was focused on him. Seeing that he had shifted his gaze, they also followed him and shifted their gazes. This was the biggest villain in the original book, Yan Zhao. He seized the Su family¡¯s assets, told the original female supporting character about the marriage of the male and female protagonist, and in the end, he personally watched the female supporting character leap off a building with his own eyes. ¡°I didn¡¯t take it,¡± Yan Zhao said after looking for a while, it was as if he was defending himself, but there was never a hint of concern in his voice. Su Muxue almost held her breath. The description of Yan Zhao from the original book kept replaying in her mind: ¡°he has extraordinary sensitivity; he can notice even the slightest anomaly; anyone who provokes him will never have a good ending, Su Muxue being a good example of that¡± and so on. Fortunately, someone beside her helped her out of the situation. ¡°You said you didn¡¯t take it, so you really didn¡¯t take it? So what, then can Muxue¡¯s necklace fly into the air?¡± ¡°Exactly! Do you know how much that necklace is worth? Selling you isn¡¯t even enough for it!¡± ¡°Hurry up and hand it over! Otherwise, we¡¯ll call the police!¡± Hearing those words, Su Muxue couldn¡¯t help but worry for them. If they knew that this person would grow to be such a villain, would they still dare to be so obnoxious? ¡°That¡¯s enough.¡± Using her height advantage, Su Muxue was able to easily snatch the phone that was used to threaten him. ¡°It¡¯s just a necklace. It¡¯s okay to lose it.¡± ¡°No way, Muxue, that¡¯s your birthday present your brother brought back from France. How can you just lose it like that?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Master Nicks only designed this one piece in three years. You can just imagine the value of the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯. We can¡¯t just let others have it so easily!¡± At the same time, the inquisitive stares returned onto Su Muxue, but she was much more composed now. ¡°So what do you guys want to do then? If he keeps on refusing to admit it, are you going to search him?¡± Su Muxue glanced at her sidekicks and raised her chin slightly. Her tone was harsh. ¡°Who¡¯s going to do it?¡± The sidekicks looked at each other and retreated back silently. Their family backgrounds were not bad. No matter what, they were decent people. As a lady, none of them were willing to associate with a man who was fostered in someone else¡¯s home. If this matter were to spread, their reputation would be ruined. Su Muxue snorted and was about to leave when a girl said, ¡°Are we just going to let this matter go just like that?¡± Su Muxue looked back at them and then back at Yan Zhao. ¡°When dealing with someone who won¡¯t shed tears until they see the coffin, shouldn¡¯t we let them see the coffin? They won¡¯t be able to deny it when I present them with the evidence!¡± In the eyes of others, this was obviously Su Muxue provoking Yan Zhao unilaterally. It was no different from her usual arrogant manner. Yan Zhao continued observing. He could feel that she was truly different, but her reckless behavior and disregard for others hadn¡¯t changed at all. So, where was the difference? ¡°By the way, Sui Mao left a research paper for me, he¡¯s giving it to me on Monday. I¡¯m going home today. Are you joining me?¡± Ever since Su Muxue¡¯s birthday party, it was no longer a secret that Yan Zhao was fostered by the Su Family. But inviting Yan Zhao to go home together with her was a first. Her sidekicks felt both desperate and torn. Mrs. Su had generously given them a lot of gifts when they occasionally went over. Yan Zhao was staying there, so he must have received more, right? But, Su Muxue did not invite them! ¡°Muxue¡­¡± Chapter 2 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°See you tomorrow.¡± After saying that, Su Muxue did not respond to her sidekicks anymore and directly got into the car that the Su Family sent to pick her up. What a joke. She¡¯d painstakingly found an opportunity to be alone with Yan Zhao. How could she just let others ruin it? The sidekicks who had just witnessed Su Muxue and Yan Zhao getting into a car together said, ¡°I don¡¯t know why, but I somehow feel that Muxue and Yan Zhao are a very good match?¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. They¡¯re like an ideal couple! Muxue definitely looks like a big missy and Yan Zhao is like the loyal and repressed servant by her side, they really feel like a couple!¡± ¡°Yeah right! You guys are just looking at their faces!¡± Su Muxue was in front and didn¡¯t hear what they said. Well, Yan Zhao had heard it and frowned in disdain when he thought about the way the person in front of him had always acted. In the car, Su Muxue asked again, ¡°You really didn¡¯t take the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯?¡± ¡°Miss Su, if you don¡¯t believe me, you can just search for it yourself.¡± Yan Zhao was calm as if he didn¡¯t care about this matter at all. But Su Muxue, having read the original book, knew that once this matter fell into place, he would hate her to death. ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about this anymore. How have you been at school recently?¡± ¡°How have I been? I¡¯m still the same. What difference can I have?¡± It was obvious Yan Zhao didn¡¯t want to converse, but his eyes kept looking at Su Muxue from time to time. He still wanted to find out why she felt different. ¡°Didn¡¯t the foster care bring you any trouble?¡± Su Muxue looked at Yan Zhao curiously. She knew that it definitely did bring him trouble. Because in the original book, this was when Yan Zhao started becoming an antagonist. As expected, he was not calm and collected this time. ¡°How did you know?¡± Yan Zhao was stunned for a moment before his lips curled into a mocking smile. ¡°So Miss Su is actually so concerned about my life?¡± Since he went to help at Su Muxue¡¯s birthday party half a month ago up till now, Yan Zhao had been mistreated many times after being exposed as a foster. Su Muxue was not the one who started it, but it was indirectly related to her. As a result, Yan Zhao went from not caring about her previously, to despising her now. Not to mention that she even accused him of stealing the necklace. ¡°Yes! I¡¯m especially concerned!¡± Su Muxue didn¡¯t have a good attitude towards Yan Zhao¡¯s sarcasm either. She knew that it¡¯s because he¡¯s young and not mature yet. But what others have done did not have anything to do with her! Wasn¡¯t the necklace situation still inconclusive?! ¡°So I¡¯m saying, do you want to move out?¡± This was Su Muxue¡¯s main purpose. She wanted Yan Zhao to move out of the Su family. When the time came, the Su family would release a statement stating that Yan Zhao was already an adult and would no longer be a foster child of the Su family. Then, this matter would be perfectly unrelated to her and the Su family! ¡°Move out? Good, very good! I¡¯ll move out tonight!¡± Yan Zhao rushed out as soon as the car stopped. Su Muxue sat in the car and didn¡¯t see his red face. She was just wondering why he had such a big reaction. The driver upfront sighed. ¡°Uncle Li?¡± Su Muxue was confused. ¡°Miss, do you hate Yan Zhao that much?¡± Uncle Li asked. Yan Zhao¡¯s position in the Su family was actually a little awkward. He was the child of a servant in the Su family and it was because his mother had met with a car accident that he was fetched for foster care. Although he also ate at the same table as the Su family, it was obvious that he did not receive the same treatment as the masters. He also had to do things that he could do and the servants only called him by his name. When outsiders knew about this, they all praised the Su family for their kindness. However, as the person involved, Yan Zhao¡¯s feelings were actually the most complicated. Though his thoughts were mature, he was still young. ¡°I don¡¯t hate him!¡± Su Muxue spread out her hands. ¡°I made him leave not because I hate him, it¡¯s mainly because this foster care incident embarrasses him at school. I might as well get rid of this matter, so he can openly refute those who try to humiliate him with this in the future!¡± ¡°But what you just said sounded like you were chasing someone away..¡± Chapter 3 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Realization dawned on Su Muxue. She quickly got out of the car to chase after him. When she reached the room door, she knocked twice but no one answered. She then just pushed the door open and walked in. Was there even a room in the Su family that she could not enter? Of course not, but this was the first time she¡¯d set foot in Yan Zhao¡¯s place. Yan Zhao was packing his things. ¡°I¡¯ll be moving out soon. There¡¯s no need for the big missy to supervise me.¡± Su Muxue was so angry that she almost burst into laughter. Who knew that the villain was actually so pitiful when he was a teenager? ¡°Where are you moving to? The school dormitory? You don¡¯t have a good relationship with those people in the dormitory too, do you?¡± Su Muxue was very sure about this. In the original book,those in the dormitory were the ones that bullied Yan Zhao the most. Although he retaliated back at all of them in the end, the damage they caused couldn¡¯t ever be fixed. Moreover, the genius of the ultimate villains was almost equal to the protagonists. Such people would definitely have their pride and would treat the people around them with little regard. It would be strange if such people could get along well with their roommates. It would be even worse if they met a few jealous ones like Yan Zhao¡¯s roommates Looking at the pitiful future villain, Su Muxue¡¯s eyes couldn¡¯t help but fill with sympathy. ¡°What does that have to do with you? Is Miss Su going to buy me a house?¡± Yan Zhao mocked. ¡°It¡¯s not impossible.¡± Su Muxue thought for a moment. It would be considered worth it for the Su Family to be able to send this devil away with some money. Yan Zhao was stunned. It was not until Su Muxue mentioned this matter to the Su family at the dining table that he realized that she was serious about what she said! Su Muxue¡¯s father, Su Yuanwei glanced at Yan Zhao, there was no emotion in his eyes but there was already affection in his eyes when he turned to Su Muxue.¡±Why did Little Xue suddenly think of this?¡± Su Muxue¡¯s eyes were dodgy. ¡°It¡¯s mainly because all our classmates knew that we lived together when I celebrated my birthday the last time¡­¡± Su Yuanwei understood. There were rumors going around in school! He immediately sent someone to handle this matter. Before dinner was even finished, Yan Zhao already had a property under his name. Looking at the message Su Yuanwei¡¯s secretary sent him, Yan Zhao pursed his lips and said, ¡°I will return this sum of money.¡± Naturally, the Su family didn¡¯t care about this bit of money. But to Yan Zhao, it was an astronomical sum. Su Muxue¡¯s mother, Chang Yuan, personally scooped a bowl of soup for him. ¡°There¡¯s no hurry. Our Little Xue is still at Ming Song, so please do take care of her. She has a bad temper, so if anything happens, just remember to call us. Also, regarding her studies¡­¡± ¡°Mom!¡± Su Muxue would be unhappy anytime studying was mentioned. Yan Zhao was fostered by the Su family at the age of 16. They were in the same class at that time, but their grades were one heaven and the other earth. The original owner of the body did try to catch up with him twice. However, she realized that the brain of a star student and a bottom-feeder student was not the same so she gave up. After that, whenever Yan Zhao was around and her family mentioned studying, she would definitely explode. Although Su Muxue transmigrated here, she was able to adapt very well. She also subconsciously called out at Chang Yuan with a frown this time. Exactly like how she would last time. Chang Yuan knew her temper, but she was always willing to tease her. But this time, Su Muxue didn¡¯t act like a brat like before. Instead, she looked at the young man opposite her guiltily. That was her brother, Su Wangting. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Su Wangting noticed that his little sister wasn¡¯t in a good mood today. He thought that she would have more energy when his mother mentioned studying. He didn¡¯t expect to see her like this. ¡°I lost the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯ you gave me.¡± Su Muxue appeared dejected.. Chapter 4 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Wangting said, ¡°So be it. Let¡¯s just buy another one.¡± Su Muxue said, ¡°No, that¡¯s your birthday gift to me! I think someone stole it!¡± Hearing this, Yan Zhao¡¯s body stiffened slightly and Su Muxue hatefully said, ¡°I must find the thief!¡± ¡°Does Little Xue have any suspects?¡± Su Wangting asked. ¡°Yes, it¡¯s bound to be one of those few around me!¡± Yan Zhao was a bit confused. Didn¡¯t she just say she was still suspicious of him? Sensing his gaze, Su Muxue waved her hand. ¡°I wanted to test them just now, but I failed. Sorry.¡± Miss Su was so casual even when apologizing, but Yan Zhao realized that this was the first time he heard her apologize. After he looked around, it was obvious that the Su family thought so too. However, the Su family did not share the same suspicion as him. Instead, they praised her. ¡°Little Xue has grown up.¡± ¡°Yeah, she even knows how to test others.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. Even the apology she made has a profound meaning.¡± Even though she was already an adult for a long time in her previous life, Su Muxue still couldn¡¯t help but blush when she heard their coaxing tone. However, it made her heart feel warm inside. She was an orphan in her previous life. The pampering from family that outsiders would scowl at, was something that she was never able to enjoy. This family kinship filled up the gap caused by the lack of family that she had for so many years. After the meal, the family sat on the sofa and enjoyed the time of their rare reunion. Yan Zhao was sensible and returned to his room. Su Muxue could empathize with him, but she couldn¡¯t request that the Su Family share some of their feelings for her with Yan Zhao. There was no reason for them to do so, and it was impossible for them to do so too. Moreover, Yan Zhao himself didn¡¯t care about this. Because this wasn¡¯t the root cause of his turn to be an antagonist. If Yan Zhao was to be here, he would be able to discover that something was wrong with Su Muxue. Because of Su Wangting¡¯s guidance on the loss of the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯, she was actually able to follow up with every sentence said. Furthermore, her final conclusion coincides with Su Wangting. If this was in the past, Su Muxue would not even want to use her brain and talk to him. However, in the eyes of the Su family, this was still a sign of ¡°growing up¡±. Su Muxue smiled and didn¡¯t say anything. Just let them think that she had grown up. Even she herself didn¡¯t know why she transmigrated onto Su Muxue. Nothing happened to the original owner of the body originally¡­ Whatever, she didn¡¯t think too much about it. She would just treat it as a gift from the heavens, she really liked it. On the way to class the next day, Su Muxue saw many people chattering at the school¡¯s signboard. Yan Zhao had to go back to school early to pack his luggage. She slept a little longer and the two of them didn¡¯t come over together. ¡°Yan Zhao is someone being raised by the Su family. What right does he have to get the first-prize scholarship?¡± ¡°Exactly. Did the Su family not care for him?¡± ¡°I strongly request that Yan Zhao¡¯s first-prize scholarship be revoked! This is unfair to others!¡± Su Muxue could feel the jealousy soaring on that side. She hurried over, but someone was faster than her. ¡°You want to revoke my qualifications? ¡± Aren¡¯t you only able to say that when your grades are better than mine? ¡± Yan Zhao was tall and slender. He had a seemingly superior attitude and he did not disguise the disdain and scorn in his eyes. The person he was looking at had already turned red with anger. That person was about to say something when he saw Su Muxue. They hurriedly shouted, ¡°Schoolmate Su, Yan Zhao disregards you!¡± This transfer of grudges was fast. If Su Muxue was really as simple-minded as she used to be, she would have already started shouting. ¡°Really? Then why do I feel like he¡¯s doubting you?¡± The expected shouts didn¡¯t appear. Yan Zhao¡¯s stiff back relaxed. It was unreasonable but expected¡ªit seemed that he was able to get used to her personality already. That person was about to speak, but Su Muxue didn¡¯t give him a chance to. ¡°You still have to look at the owner before you hit a dog. What right do you have to speak ill about who the Su family raises? If your grades are not good enough, go and study! The Su family did not donate a library for you guys to flirt with each other in it!¡± Su Muxue looked at the people who had raised such questions with undisguised disgust. She snorted in disdain and turned around to go to class. When the crowd dispersed, Yan Zhao looked in the direction in which Su Muxue left, complicated emotions interweaving in his eyes. This was the first time she had helped him out of his predicament. Usually, when she saw such a scene, she would laugh louder than anyone else. But¡­ to look at the owner before beating a dog? Ha.. Chapter 5 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Yan Zhao¡¯s stare seemed to be solid. He continued staring at Su Muxue until he could no longer see her, the pressure coming from behind Su Muxue then completely disappeared. Su Muxue took a few glances when she passed by the library. You could tell at a glance that this magnificent building was extraordinary. One could imagine how expensive it must have been to build it. The library of Ming Song University was indeed donated by the Su family. Otherwise, how could Su Muxue, a bottom-feeder student who was always at the bottom of the school, get into the same university as Yan Zhao, a star student? It was just the power of money. Su Muxue couldn¡¯t help but sigh. The Su family was really the kind of particularly distinctive cannon fodder family in novels. They were rich and foolish. If they weren¡¯t earning money for the male and female protagonists, they were the stepping stones for villains. ¡°Muxue!¡± One of her sidekicks from yesterday, Song Yu-er saw Su Muxue and hurried over. ¡°Did you find the evidence that Yan Zhao stole your necklace? She did not control her volume. All the people who were going to class heard this, they lowered the volume of their chatting and pricked up their ears. As the top scholar of the college entrance examination who got admitted to Ming Song, Yan Zhao had just given a speech on behalf of the new students not too long ago. His handsome looks and cold temperament attracted waves of exclamations. He was in the limelight at this very moment, and after the news of him being fostered by the Su family spread, many girls even felt pity for him. But would such a person steal? Su Muxue looked at Song Yu-er, who was currently looking at her curiously, seemingly unaware of the commotion she had caused. ¡°Nope, I¡¯ve thought about it. It probably wasn¡¯t him.¡± ¡°Why? Weren¡¯t you so sure that he stole it yesterday?¡± The innocent look on Song Yu-er¡¯s face made Su Muxue uncertain whether she was saying that intentionally or simply because she had low emotional intelligence. However, these were words where she was forced to make a choice among two people. Su Muxue didn¡¯t think that someone with low emotional intelligence would be able to say something like that. ¡°I didn¡¯t consider it carefully yesterday. There were a lot of people at my birthday party, and a lot of them watched me open my presents. It¡¯s already been so long, and there were also a lot of guests at my house. Haven¡¯t you been there too? I think the thief who stole the necklace should be among them.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Song Yu-er panicked a bit when she heard that. She was about to ask again when Su Muxue said angrily. ¡°Stop talking. If you continue, I will have to wait again before I can go home and ask someone.¡± Hearing that, Song Yu-er was relieved. She knew it. Since when was Su Muxue so smart and thoughtful? So the credit actually belonged to the other members of the Su Family! However, the girl¡¯s coquettish behavior These words not only dispelled Song Yu-er¡¯s doubts but also let Yan Zhao, who was not far away, hear it. Her completely different attitude from yesterday at the dinner table made him feel that there was a contrast. Her coquettish behaviour made people feel that whatever she did was right. In the blazing sun, their voices from the conversation were blown by the wind. ¡°Alright, alright, I won¡¯t ask anymore. It¡¯s the weekend tomorrow. Shall we go hang out?¡± That was exactly what Su Muxue wanted. ¡°Sure, you can stay at my place tonight.¡± Su Muxue usually lived there, Song Yu-er and her other sidekicks had been there too. ¡°Okay.¡± Song Yu-er had other plans in her mind but she did not reveal them and agreed obediently. Su Muxue had a three-bedroom apartment in an estate near Ming Song. Su Yuanwei and Chang Yuan bought it for her because they were afraid that she would not be used to living in the school dormitory and also because it would be too troublesome for her to go back and forth from the Su Family villa. In the afternoon, Chang Yuan called and asked, ¡°Are you coming back tonight? It¡¯s the weekend tomorrow.¡± Su Muxue: ¡°I¡¯m not coming back, I¡¯m going out with my friends tomorrow.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Chang Yuan was a little disappointed. ¡°I was able to buy pastries from Five Blessings House today. I still wanted to say that you¡¯ll be able to eat them tonight.¡± Warmth filled Su Muxue¡¯s heart. She counted the date and added, ¡°Then save it until Sunday, I¡¯ll come back on Sunday.¡± ¡°This child, where can pastries be kept until Sunday? We can only wait and buy it on that day itself.¡± Although she said that, Chang Yuan¡¯s tone was filled with happiness. ¡°Thank you, Mommy. Little Xue loves you the most.¡± These few lines made Chang Yuan laugh out loud. Su Muxue had never said anything like that in her previous life and she had never acted coquettishly with anyone. But now, it didn¡¯t sound out of place at all. It was as if she was always supposed to be like that. At night, she was carrying the food she bought randomly and found her place according to the route in her memory. As she opened the door, she saw an unexpected person. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Chapter 6 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Yan Zhao had also just returned. Seeing Su Muxue¡¯s surprised look, he found it quite funny and opened the door opposite her with his fingerprint. The door opened at that, revealing boxes inside that had just been moved in. Su Muxue slapped her forehead. It¡¯s over. She got Su Yuanwei to buy a place for Yan Zhao to stay, but she did not expect that he would become her neighbor! ¡°Miss Su, don¡¯t you know that the house is here? When Secretary Dong handed the property deed to me, he specifically told me to take good care of you!¡± After he saw what she was carrying, Yan Zhao frowned slightly but didn¡¯t say anything. Secretary Dong did give him instructions, but it did not mean that he had to obey them. ¡°There¡¯s no need. You don¡¯t need to care about me. Uncle Dong was just saying. If there¡¯s nothing else, I¡¯ll just go in first.¡± After saying goodbye, Su Muxue hurried through the door. What kind of development was this!? She asked him to move out of the Su family because she wanted to be further away from Yan Zhao. She didn¡¯t expect him to be even closer! But this was obviously not arranged by Su Yuanwei. As a father, he would only want all the men in the world to stay away from his daughter. How could he possibly send them to her side? This meant that his subordinates had made a mistake. But Uncle Dong had been with her father for nearly ten years. Logically speaking, he shouldn¡¯t have misunderstood! Su Muxue took out her phone and called Dong Yu. ¡°Big missy?¡± It was such a shameful way of addressing her¡­ But Su Muxue couldn¡¯t change anything about it, because the original owner of the body used to like it very! much! when people addressed her like that. ¡°Ah, Uncle Dong, it¡¯s like this. I saw Yan Zhao moving into the house opposite me today. Did you arrange this?¡± Dong Yu laughed and said in a benevolent tone, ¡°Yes, President Su asked me to find a place for Yan Zhao to stay. I thought it would be good for him to stay beside you and take care of you. Why? Does big missy not like it? Then I¡¯ll get¡­¡± ¡°No, no. It¡¯s fine, he¡¯s already moved in. But Uncle Dong, Yan Zhao isn¡¯t considered our family¡¯s servant. Don¡¯t mention taking care of me to him in the future.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± After hanging up the phone, Su Muxue suddenly remembered something. She had already thought that the name Dong Yu was familiar, but now she remembered, she had seen this name in the original book. Not as Su Yuanwei¡¯s secretary, but¡­ as Yan Zhao¡¯s subordinate. In the original book, Yan Zhao was the person that took over the Su family¡¯s assets in the end. Could it be that Dong Yu already had contact with Yan Zhao at this time? Su Muxue was getting anxious thinking about it, but she wasn¡¯t able to think of a good solution. So, she just simply knocked on Yan Zhao¡¯s door. ¡°You need something?¡± Yan Zhao had been fostered by the Su Family since he was 16 years old and he didn¡¯t have much interaction with her until the foster care situation was exposed during Su Muxue¡¯s 19th birthday. They did not even greet each other when both of them met during the three years of high school life. ¡°Nothing, I just wanted to see how your life is. Are you used to it?¡± ¡°Of course I¡¯m used to it.¡± You could say that he was so used to it that he could not be more used to it. The two of their houses were facing each other. The layout and interior design of the houses were about the same. Su Muxue lived in a flat with three bedrooms and two halls. So did Yan Zhao. Although he still lived in a house given by the Su family. Here, he can¡¯t see those people from the Su family. So to Yan Zhao, the mental stress lifted was not just a little bit. ¡°Then¡­ Did Uncle Dong say anything else when he gave you the property deed?¡± Su Muxue stared at Yan Zhao and saw him frowning in confusion. ¡°Should there be anything else?¡± This reaction was very normal, there wasn¡¯t a single trace of guilt. It¡¯s either Yan Zhao really had nothing to do with Dong Yu now, or¡­ he was just too good at disguising himself. Su Muxue wasn¡¯t sure when Yan Zhao started coveting the Su family¡¯s assets, nor did she know if he had the heart to do so. Anyway, that was the Su family¡¯s ending in the original book, so she couldn¡¯t not be on guard. ¡°Nope.¡± Su Muxue stepped back slowly and only came back to her senses when her front door closed with a ¡®bang¡¯. In her hurry just now, she didn¡¯t care if Yan Zhao would suspect her strange actions. But on second thought, so what if he suspected it? No matter what, he would not know the truth either. The deciding factor that caused Yan Zhao to turn into the villain was when the foster care incident was exposed. Other people mistreated him and Su Muxue also kicked him when she found out that he was at his downfall. However, she was no longer the original owner of the body. She would not do things like kicking someone at their downfall. The other members of the Su family even more would not. As for other people¡¯s mistreatment of him, what did it have to do with the Su family? He was already an adult, and the foster care responsibility of the Su Family had already been completed. However, Su Yuanwei did not stop and his subordinates still kept giving him living expenses. Not to mention that the Su family had given him a house now. Even relatives wouldn¡¯t do things to such an extent. Su Muxue felt that it was enough already. If that was the case and Yan Zhao still coveted the Su family, then she couldn¡¯t be blamed for not caring about their relationship. What Su Muxue didn¡¯t know was that after Yan Zhao closed the door, he received a message from Dong Yu on his phone that explained the contents of the call with Su Muxue just now in detail. When Yan Zhao finished reading, he pursed his lips slightly, interest leaking from his eyes.. Chapter 7 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios On Saturday evening, Song Yu-er, Xu Jiao, and the others came to find Su Muxue. They were dressed very maturely. When Su Muxue asked during the day, Song Yu-er just said that she would bring her to a good place. Looking at their outfits, Su Muxue suddenly didn¡¯t want to go. Seeing that she wasn¡¯t very interested, Song Yu-er stepped forward to persuade her. ¡°Ah, Mu Xue, you¡¯re already an adult. Your parents don¡¯t even restrict you to stay at home. So of course, we should have some fun when we have the chance!¡± Su Muxue¡¯s family used to be very strict. In high school, she even had a curfew to go home. They didn¡¯t set rules now. But ever since she started living here, her family would come to check up on her periodically. It was not easy for the Su Family to not show up for a period of time. They had an urge to want to take Su Muxue out for fun. Not only to bring her out for exposure but also to show her off. With such a beauty by their side, they would definitely be the center of attention! ¡°That¡¯s right. Yu-er¡¯s cousin is the one bringing us out today. Mu Xue, don¡¯t worry, it would definitely be safe!¡± said Xu Jiao. The other two followed suit. Su Muxue glanced at Song Yu-er and agreed. After all, Song Yu-er was still young so the gloating and smugness in her eyes could not be hidden at all. That was the main reason why Su Muxue agreed. The clothes and accessories occupied one of the rooms in the three-room flat. No matter where she went, Su Muxue could feel the extravagance of the original owner of the body. She was like a dragon who forever liked shiny things. ¡°Wow, Mu Xue, there are so many things here again!¡± The happiest people were none other than Song Yu-er and the rest. Su Muxue didn¡¯t have many friends, so she wasn¡¯t stingy at all when it came to the sidekicks she liked. They didn¡¯t even wear any accessories before they came, they were just waiting to pick accessories at her place. In the past, it¡¯s not like the original owner of the body did not give them things. But it happened so many times that they just got used to it. Once she did not give them anything, it felt unacceptable. Just like this time. ¡°I-Is this ¡®Tinkle¡¯ that Master Nicks designed the last time?¡± Xu Jiao asked uncertainly. Master Nicks designed an accessory in three years and personally made it himself. As his fame grew, the value of the accessories he sold in the past also followed suit. This piece ¡°Tinkle¡±, was rumored to be worth tens of millions. These girls¡¯ families were all doing small businesses. Their family background was not strong, and their wealth mostly began from their father¡¯s generation. To spend tens of millions to buy a necklace? That was unthinkable for them! Would Su Muxue dare to think of it? Of course she dared. Su Yuanwei would even agree, but she felt that it was not worth it. Moreover, she did not even know who had ¡®Tinkle¡¯ in their hands now, where would she buy it? So, Su Muxue spent one whole morning¡­ making a counterfeit. ¡°Oh, didn¡¯t I tell my family that I lost the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯? My father sent this over this morning,¡± she said nonchalantly as she stood in front of the mirror and picked out what she wanted to wear. ¡°Uncle¡­ Uncle really dotes on you.¡± ¡°It¡¯s true. I don¡¯t even dare dream about this.¡± ¡°Ha, if only I could afford this necklace with a year¡¯s worth of my pocket money.¡± ¡°Sigh, if only my family was as rich as Muxue¡¯s family!¡± The few of them had already become very good at sucking up to others from always sticking around with Su Muxue. However this time, they did not get the reply they wanted. ¡°Really? Then you guys are actually really pitiful. But the Su Family¡¯s financial strength is not something that anyone can just possess.¡± Standing in front of the mirror, Su Muxue could clearly see those few people looking at each other in disbelief. Without giving them a chance to react, Su Muxue turned around and said, ¡°I¡¯m done. Let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Wait, you¡¯re going there wearing this?¡± Song Yu-er stopped her. She was wearing a small V-neck shirt revealing her beautiful collarbones. The hem of her shirt was short enough to reveal her fair waistline when she raised her hands. However, she was pairing it with a pair of tight jeans! She did look good in this outfit, but this was no outfit for the nightclub! ¡°Can¡¯t I?¡± Su Muxue asked. ¡°Won¡¯t it be too hot to wear jeans in this weather?¡± Xu Jiao asked. ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Besides, there will be more people after we enter. It will definitely get even hotter. Quickly change into a pair of shorts.¡± Song Yu-er pushed her to pick something else. ¡°I feel that it¡¯s quite okay.¡± Su Muxue turned around and escaped from Song Yu-er¡¯s hands. ¡°Won¡¯t there be air-conditioning no matter where we go? Right, isn¡¯t your cousin waiting for us downstairs? Let¡¯s go. It won¡¯t be good if the wait is too long.¡± No one among these few dared to go against her decisions. She didn¡¯t even look at ¡°Tinkle¡± once when she left in the end; as if she didn¡¯t even care about such an expensive necklace. Song Yu-er looked at Su Muxue¡¯s silhouette and gritted her teeth. You¡¯re so obnoxious, just wait, tonight I¡¯ll make you cry and beg for mercy! The few of them bumped into Yan Zhao on their way out.. Chapter 8 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Song Yu-er and the rest were shocked. Su Muxue was as usual and even greeted Yan Zhao first. ¡°You¡¯re going out?¡± They could be considered acquaintances at most before the plot developed. Since she had already changed many things, it also meant that she could change the final ending. Since that was the case, Su Muxue didn¡¯t feel so conflicted about Yan Zhao anymore. If it was necessary, she could even ask him for help. Su Muxue had suddenly thought of that when she was doing the craftwork that morning. The clarity led her to be in a good mood that day. ¡°Yeah, you guys too?¡± Su Muxue directly said it. ¡°Song Yu-er said she¡¯s taking me to the nightclub!¡± ¡°Sigh¡­¡± Song Yu-er didn¡¯t succeed in stopping her and whispered in her ear,¡± Aren¡¯t you afraid that he will tell Uncle and Auntie?¡± The few of them had already entered the elevator at this time. They did say it in a soft voice but Yan Zhao could hear it without any other obstructions. ¡°He won¡¯t. He¡¯s not willing to be involved in such matters.¡± Yan Zhao didn¡¯t look at them, but he could feel the girl¡¯s meaningful gaze on him as she spoke. They arrived downstairs in a few minutes. After they went out, Yan Zhao walked towards the direction of the school and Su Muxue and the others got into the car parked at the gate. The moment the car door was opened, Yan Zhao heard the man¡¯s voice. ¡°Miss Su? Aiya, ever since I saw you once at your birthday party, I¡¯ve missed you every day! Why are you sitting in the back? Come sit at the front!¡± Su Muxue was already seated. Yan Zhao turned his head and saw the girl¡¯s brilliant side profile. The shadows blocked it making it slightly dim and he could hear her cold voice, ¡°No, I like to sit in the back.¡± Yan Zhao chuckled and was about to turn back when the girl seemed to sense his gaze and looked over with the edges of her lips slightly bent. Yan Zhao was very still and only regained his senses after a long time ¡°Haha, okay. Then sit tight princesses, we¡¯re leaving now!¡± Song Wei¡¯s glib words made Song Yu-er giggle, but Su Muxue didn¡¯t react and kept a cold face. Song Wei saw Su Muxue¡¯s appearance through the rearview mirror. Although the cold beauty was also very good-looking, it was a blow to his male ego. He couldn¡¯t help but look at Song Yu-er, meaning to know: What happened? Song Yu-er shook her head slightly. How would she know what kind of temper this big missy was having? She was clearly fine when she came out, and she even greeted the foster child of the Su family! Unable to find the reason, Song Yu-er could only conclude that it was what Song Wei had just said. She thought that she had to inform her cousin later. There was no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women in nightclubs, but Su Muxue was still eye-catching, very naturally surpassing all the other girls. Song Yu-er and the others were all upset, but they knew the thing that they should suppress the most when they were able to stick with Su Muxue, was their jealousy. As soon as Song Wei arrived, a manager came over and asked, ¡°Young Master Song, do you want to go to a private room or just stay here?¡± Song Wei turned his head and looked at Su Muxue. ¡°What¡¯s your preference, Miss Su?¡± Su Muxue saw his movement from the corner of her eye and turned her head to look elsewhere. A person that doesn¡¯t have self-awareness is really¡­ too gross. ¡°Just here. It¡¯s lively.¡± Song Wei: ¡°We¡¯ll listen to Miss Su!¡± The manager asked a few more questions. Every sentence showed his respect for Song Wei and it also showed that he was a regular here. Su Muxue wasn¡¯t concerned about that. She didn¡¯t come here for fun. Besides the promise of ¡°luring the snake out of its hole¡±, she wanted to know what Song Yu-er and her cousin were planning even more. Before all the drinks could be served, the three of them- Song Wei¡¯s sidekicks and Xu Jiao went to go dance. It could be seen that Song Yu-er really wanted to go too, but she stayed for some unknown reason ¡°Mu Xue, are you going to go dance for a while?¡± Song Yu-er invited excitedly. Su Muxue shook her head. ¡°You can go if you want.¡± ¡°That won¡¯t do. It¡¯s your first time here Muxue, you¡¯re definitely not used to it. I¡¯ll just stay to accompany you.¡± Song Yu-er hugged Su Muxue¡¯s arm as if they were very close. ¡°There are very few young people nowadays like Miss Su who don¡¯t go to nightclubs !¡± Song Wei raised his voice.. Chapter 9 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Right.¡± Su Muxue lowered her head to find a drink, only to find that the table was full of alcohol. ¡°Miss Su is already an adult. Don¡¯t tell me you still don¡¯t dare to drink alcohol?¡± Song Wei looked at her and tried to goad her. He had heard from Song Yu-er that Miss Su hated being looked down upon by others the most. She was a just stupid person who would do anything when provoked. However, Su Muxue didn¡¯t act like what Song Yu-er had said. Instead, she blinked at him. ¡°Can¡¯t I just have a regular beverage?¡± In her memory, when Su Muxue was younger, she had only tasted three or two drops of white wine from chopsticks dipped in it when she was teased by Su Yuanwei. Other times, even during her birthday party, she did not even have a share of the cocktails with low alcoholic content. Someone told Su Yuanwei that she¡¯s been protected too well and it won¡¯t be right when she steps into society in the future. At that time, Su Yuanwei had already said, ¡°Step into society? Isn¡¯t the Su family¡¯s money enough to support her for the rest of her life? When her mother and I are a hundred years old, there¡¯s still her brother!¡± Under such a family upbringing, Su Muxue¡¯s growth to be good or bad seemed to be inevitable. Song Wei almost agreed, but Song Yu-er stopped him from speaking. ¡°Muxue, you¡¯re already an adult for so long. Why are you still acting like a child? You¡¯re like a baby!¡± The original owner of the body extremely disliked it when people said that she was like a child. Under the pampering of her parents, she indeed had the capital to be impudent. However, she did also have rebellious thoughts. They were too strict with her. Hearing that, Su Muxue lowered her head. ¡°Okay then.¡± She chose a bottle that didn¡¯t look like it had high alcoholic content and drank it. The original owner of the body definitely could not hold her liquor. In her previous life, she could hold her liquor well, but she did not know if she brought it over. After two sips to moisten her throat, Su Muxue put down the glass. How could Song Wei let that happen? He raised the bottle to Su Muxue. ¡°Miss Su, let¡¯s have a drink?¡± He curled his lips, thinking that he was free and charming. Su Muxue still felt that he was cringy, so she quickly lowered her head and drank a mouthful of wine to suppress the discomfort in her stomach. Then, Song Wei and Song Yu-er took turns to coax Su Muxue to drink. This led Su Muxue to think: Are these siblings attempting to get me drunk just like that? However, Su Muxue didn¡¯t drink that much. In fact, Song Yu-er was the first to get tipsy. Halfway through, Su Muxue went to the toilet and opened a new bottle of alcohol when she came back. Song Yu-er still wanted to give her the bottle that she had just drunk, but she just got stared at by Su Muxue for a long time and she eventually brought it away. Su Muxue glanced at the bottle of wine and thought that the trick used was just really old-fashioned. Song Wei, who was opposite her, saw her gaze clearly. He smiled and moved the bottle further away. ¡°If Miss Su doesn¡¯t like it, we won¡¯t drink it. Come, let¡¯s have another toast.¡± Song Wei watched Su Muxue drinking from the corner of his eyes, but the image of her being pressed down on a bed flashed in his mind. He saw that she was already swaying a little when she walked just now. He estimated that she would definitely get drunk after two more bottles. Song Yu-er had just told him that it must be because of his teasing that Song Muxue was upset when she got in the car. Teasing? Ha, he would let her truly experience it for herself tonight. How long could such a beautiful girl last in bed before she starts crying? Getting stared at by such a disgusting gaze, Su Muxue was about to flare up when someone interrupted her. It was a hot and scantily clad woman. The woman raised her glass and toasted Song Wei. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect Young Master Song to be here. It must be fate!¡± The woman had an affair with Song Wei before, but recently, Song Wei stopped looking for her. After seeing Su Muxue, the woman finally knew why. But she had an irrefutable reason to look for Song Wei. ¡°Huh?¡± Song Wei wanted to take the wine, but he was halfway through when he remembered that Su Muxue was sitting opposite him. He immediately put down his hand. ¡°Sorry, I don¡¯t drink other people¡¯s wine.¡± The woman sneered in her heart. Why was he pretending to be so loyal? Had all her wine previously gone into a dog¡¯s belly? Just as she was about to speak again, the beautiful girl opposite her spoke first. ¡°It¡¯s the worst to turn down a beauty¡¯s offer. Big¡­ Big Brother Song, this beautiful sister came to find you on her own accord. Just drink it.¡± Chapter 10 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Upon hearing ¡®Big Brother Song¡¯ Song Wei smiled until his eyes turned into crescents. Calling him that almost made Su Muxue unable to hold back the churning in her stomach. After seeing Song Wei drink the glass of wine with their own eyes, Su Muxue and the woman exchanged a tacit look and waited. She believed that Song Wei would not have the energy to persuade her to drink after a while. Sure enough, after a few minutes, Song Wei was holding his head and was not fully awake. ¡°Eh brother? What¡¯s wrong?¡± Song Yu-er opened her eyes and happened to see this scene. She instantly sobered up. Was her brother so useless? ¡°Maybe he¡¯s drunk.¡± Su Muxue said lightly. ¡°That can¡¯t be.¡± Song Yu-er had seen Song Wei¡¯s alcohol tolerance before. He was very good at drinking! But after waiting for a long time, Song Wei didn¡¯t have any reaction. Song Yu-er was not having it. This time the both of them had this trap set up just for Su Muxue. She didn¡¯t expect that her brother would get drunk. In the end, she still had to do it herself anyway! Song Yu-er raised the bottle and continued to persuade her. ¡°Muxue, look, my brother drank too much. Let¡¯s just go back after another drink.¡± Su Muxue looked at the bottle she was holding and smiled. ¡°Sure.¡± After Su Muxue drank a cup, Song Yu-er also finished the cup. She pushed Song Wei. ¡°Brother wake up, get someone to send us back!¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t be able to wake up.¡± After Su Muxue finished speaking, Song Yu-er pushed Song Wei several more times until he was lying on the sofa. ¡°Is he¡­ drunk?¡± Song Wei¡¯s sidekick ¡°happened¡± to return and saw Song Wei sleeping soundly. He hurriedly said, ¡°I¡¯ll get someone to send you guys back.¡± Song Yu-er was also drowsy at this moment. She heard this and replied mumbling, ¡°Yes, send us back!¡± Su Muxue looked up at Song Wei¡¯s sidekick. After making sure that she had memorized his face, she closed her eyes slightly and said with a smile, ¡°Young Master Song is such a big customer and the nightclub doesn¡¯t even have the services to send him home? You still need to call for help?¡± The sidekick was not smart and did not know how to reply. He had been informed by Song Wei, but still, he had no idea what their complete plan was! It was unexpected that these two masterminds had actually fallen asleep! ¡°Just let me send Young Master Song off.¡± The woman from before came back and took over Song Wei just right. The sidekick widened his eyes. Although he was unsure, Song Wei¡¯s original plan was definitely not like this! Su Muxue looked up and smiled. ¡°Pretty Sister.¡± She sat opposite Song Wei and saw that the woman had added something into the cup early on. She was merely helping to exacerbate it. ¡°Hey, you can¡¯t¡­¡± His sidekick wanted to chase after that woman, but he couldn¡¯t let go of the two drunkards here. He was somewhat regretful. If he had known earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have let Xu Jiao and the other two leave. He didn¡¯t expect Song Wei to ever have a slip-up! ¡°You¡­¡± Su Muxue struggled to get up and wanted to say that she would take a taxi back on her own, but she was interrupted again. ¡°I¡¯ll send her back.¡± The young man¡¯s face could not be seen clearly under the dim light, but he held Su Muxue¡¯s body which was about to slide off with precision. His thin lips pursed slightly and he gave off a firm and reliable aura. ¡°Who are you?¡± The follower frowned. He¡¯d never seen Yan Zhao before. Su Muxue smiled. ¡°He¡¯s here to pick me up.¡± His sidekick was about to say something when Su Muxue looked at Song Yu-er who had fallen asleep and then looked at him with a meaningful gaze. ¡°We¡¯ll trouble you to send her back.¡± The end of her voice trailed high. It was obvious she was hinting at something. However, the sidekicks were the ones who made the final decision. She couldn¡¯t force them to do anything. She patted the back of Yan Zhao¡¯s hand, seeing this, Yan Zhao helped her out. As the evening breeze blew, Su Muxue¡¯s shallow drunkenness dissipated even more. But she was still walking crookedly, it was unsure whether it was intentional or not. There was a taxi at the entrance of the nightclub. This was the first time that there was no personal car to pick her up since she had transmigrated. Su Muxue said hesitantly, ¡°It¡¯s more convenient to have a car of your own.¡± Chapter 11 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Muxue closed her eyes lightly and so she didn¡¯t see the complicated look flashing in Yan Zhao¡¯s eyes when he heard that. ¡°Why? Miss Su, you¡¯d want to buy me a car?¡± Su Muxue leaned her head against the back of the chair. She hated it when he talked to her in this tone. Besides, things were going in the direction that she least wanted to see. Yan Zhao, who¡¯d accepted an apartment from the Su family, didn¡¯t think this was a good thing. On the contrary, he felt that this was to humiliate him. Su Muxue couldn¡¯t help but roll her eyes at the male chauvinism. Who would give such a big house just to humiliate someone! If this was humiliation, then please let more of such humiliation come! Indeed, someone who doesn¡¯t manage the household truly does not know the cost of doing so. Many ordinary people slog their entire lives in order to afford a house. In her previous life, she had also worked very hard for a long time before she had her own house. These young masters¡¯ thoughts were indeed different from ordinary people¡¯s. When they arrived at the entrance of the estate, the two of them alighted from the car. Su Muxue was sober, but this body wasn¡¯t used to too much alcohol. After the journey, she couldn¡¯t stand straight at all. They couldn¡¯t go far if he kept holding on to her, so Yan Zhao simply squatted down. Before Su Muxue understood what he meant, she felt her body automatically leaning against his back. She was really thinking of one thing and actually doing another. However, she didn¡¯t control herself well and her whole body fell heavily on Yan Zhao¡¯s back. Her body was fine, but when her nose hit the back of his head, it immediately went sore. ¡°Ugh¡­¡± Su Muxue was in so much pain that even tears flowed out of her eyes. ¡°How is it?¡± That heavy blow had knocked Yan Zhao hard enough. He didn¡¯t get up, giving Su Muxue time to observe the situation. Su Muxue calmed down for a moment. When she felt that her nose was not bleeding, she said in a muffled voice, ¡°It¡¯s alright.¡± For some reason, Yan Zhao liked the sound of her crying out in pain more than anything else. The voice instinctively made by her was tinged with grievance and disbelief, it was very lively. However, there was rationality in those two words. Although the rationality was also instinctive, it just did not sound as pleasant as before. Walking in the neighborhood with her on his back, the street lamps were bright and the moon was gleaming. Yan Zhao suddenly couldn¡¯t remember what Su Muxue used to be like. Actually, he had never told anyone that most of the people in the world he saw were gray. It was as if they followed a preordained plan. Sticking to the path was part of the plan, but so were any deviations. Yan Zhao saw even the blood that flowed from his mother¡¯s car accident as gray. This was not a visual discovery, but a sensation in his brain. Su Muxue, on the other hand, was one of the rare few that he could feel colors from. During the three years that he had been with the Su family, he rarely felt that she was colored. But now, the colors she had lasted for a long time. Yan Zhao didn¡¯t know what this meant, he just knew that the person on his back had changed quite a bit. ¡°Well, thanks for sending me back.¡± Su Muxue shut her eyes and tried her best not to let her heavy breathing hit Yan Zhao¡¯s ears. Although she was the one who hinted for him to pick her up, she knew how to avoid suspicion. Even so, she could still smell a faint lemon fragrance. ¡°How are you going to thank me?¡± Yan Zhao knew what she was hinting at in the evening, but they didn¡¯t bring up this topic. He answered instinctively. Maybe it was because the night was gentle and the atmosphere was quiet, he felt like joking. ¡°Miss Su, perhaps you¡¯d want to buy me a car?¡± The same words were said but due to the difference in tone, the two of them had a completely different state of mind. Su Muxue agreed with a smile. ¡°Sure. Which one do you want?¡± Yan Zhao smiled faintly and didn¡¯t answer.. Chapter 12 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When she reached the door, no matter how careful Su Muxue was, her breath still brushed past Yan Zhao¡¯s ears when she came down. She did not notice this and reached out to press her fingerprint. The door unlocked and Su Muxue held onto the door and went in. Yan Zhao was just standing at the door. When the feeling in his ears completely dissipated, his completely stiff body recovered. ¡°I¡¯ll go back first.¡± If Su Muxue had been awake, she would have noticed that something was wrong. But right now, there were only certain parts of her brain that were running abnormally excitedly. The rest of her brain had gone on strike. ¡°Oh, okay.¡± She supported herself against the wall and turned around. She waved at Yan Zhao, smiling. ¡°Bye-bye.¡± It was as if he could break her slender and fair hands with just a little force. On the road just now, it was also this pair of arms that swayed by his side, as if they were playing a rhythm for him. The girl¡¯s face filled with smiles was a sight that Yan Zhao would never forget. The first thing Su Muxue did when she got home was to check on ¡®Tinkle¡¯ in the cloakroom. Obviously, the counterfeit was gone. She looked at the miniature cameras scattered all over the place. She had wanted to look at the evidence tonight, but the soft bed was too appealing to her. Once she sank in it she could not get up. She would just have to look at it the next day. When the time came, she would edit the footage and confront Song Yu-er with it. Who let her have the audacity to steal her things! That was the Su family¡¯s love for her. No one could take it away from her! Su Muxue, who got used to this body really well, had never thought about how she was able to get so used to this body. Did she replace her, or did she originally¡­ come from the same body? The next morning, Su Muxue was woken up not by her grand goal from last night, but by the incessant ringing of her phone. After picking up the call, she heard a shocking piece of news. ¡°Mu Xue, where are you? Yu-er slept with Wu Tong!¡± The anxiety and panic in Xu Jiao¡¯s voice could not be concealed at all, but who her emotions were for, was unknown. However, it was indeed shocking news. As for Su Muxue, she was already prepared. ¡°Huh? Where are you guys? Who¡¯s Wu Tong?¡± She got up slowly and looked at herself in the mirror. ¡°It¡¯s the one Yu-er¡¯s cousin brought over yesterday!¡± ¡°Alright, I understand. I¡¯ll be right there.¡± When she left this time, Su Muxue ran into Yan Zhao again. Even she thought that it was coincidental. However, she did not know whether it was her fate or Yan Zhao¡¯s. But, he was returning from outside. Judging by the time, he seemed to have just returned from a lesson at school. It was Sunday. There were no classes to attend. Was the teacher giving extra lessons? ¡°What a coincidence.¡± Su Muxue didn¡¯t ask. Yan Zhao nodded and asked instead. ¡°Going out?¡± ¡°Yes, to watch a good show.¡± Su Muxue looked at him. ¡°Do you want to go together?¡± Yan Zhao¡¯s eyes twinkled as he recalled her plan yesterday. ¡°I¡¯m more than happy to.¡± After what happened last night, the atmosphere between the two had changed. Even if they did not talk, they would not feel awkward. When they arrived at the hotel address Xu Jiao gave them, they and another group of people got off at the same time. ¡°Dad, Mom, and Brother? Why are you here?¡± Su Muxue didn¡¯t expect that Su Yuanwei, Mrs. Su, and Su Wangting would also come! ¡°Little Xue? You just got here?¡± Su Wangting looked up and down. Seeing that Su Muxue was not hurt at all, he was relieved and turned to look at Su Yuanwei and Chang Yuan. ¡°Yup.¡± Su Muxue thought for a moment and figured out the reason behind it. ¡°Someone told you to come?¡± Su Wangting: ¡°Yeah, someone sent Mom a message.¡± Chang Yuan quickly showed the contents of the message to her daughter. ¡°Madam Chang, Su Muxue is sleeping with someone in room 2308 at the Blue Jade Hotel. Aren¡¯t you and Mr.. Su going to take a look?¡± Chapter 13 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios It was sent at ten in the morning. There was no way to call the phone number. It was virtual. Su Muxue smiled, but the smile did not reach her eyes. Great, not only did they scheme against her but also the Su family? Then let¡¯s see if they¡¯ll have the life ahead to enjoy the fruits of victory! As the two sides gathered, Su Yuanwei and the others also realized something and their faces darkened. It was a very unpleasant sight. Su Muxue asked, ¡°Dad, do you know some reporters from small tabloids?¡± The big media didn¡¯t care for this kind of gossip. Especially since the Song family was average in Linqing City, it would only appeal to c-list tabloids. Su Yuanwei immediately understood what his daughter meant. Just as he was about to make a call, he saw someone carrying a camera over. Their equipment was average, and their eyes were filled with excitement as if they had found big news. Originally, the two of them should have directly gone in. However, the few people here were too good-looking and charismatic. The c-list tabloid reporter didn¡¯t want to miss any opportunities and walked over directly. ¡°Hello.¡± Su Muxue went up. ¡°Hello.¡± The cameraman wanted to zoom in on her face. This was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman. You couldn¡¯t even see the pores on her face! However, he was stopped by two people from the left and right. On the left was Su Wangting, who had been here all along. On the right was Yan Zhao, who had just walked over quickly. Su Wangting stopped the cameraman but he looked at Yan Zhao with anger in his eyes. Why did this kid come with his sister? Su Muxue didn¡¯t have time to care about them. She asked the female reporter directly, ¡°What are you guys doing here?¡± ¡°Oh, someone called us and said that Young Master Song is here.¡± Su Muxue¡¯s eyes were clear and her temperament was like a torch. When the female reporter instinctively answered her question, she felt that it was not appropriate to say that in front of her. Young Master Song was a romantic figure in Linqing City. His gossips in tabloids were in the hundreds if not thousands. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that there was really no news now, she wouldn¡¯t even be willing to report on this matter. ¡°Young Master Song?¡± Su Muxue smiled. ¡°Not only is Young Master Song here, but Miss Song is also here too.¡± ¡°You¡¯re talking about¡­¡± ¡°The socialite with over 800,000 fans! The one who just entered university!¡± No one would be like the Su Family, always willing to pamper Su Muxue. Many families nurture their daughters in order for them to marry into a good family in the future. For a regular family, they call it marrying into a good family, then for a wealthy family, it would be called a business marriage. Of course, there were few happy marriages from this. There were even many women who stayed at home as full-time housewives because of their pride. They did not even have freedom when spending money. Not only did they have to compare and compete with each other, but they also had to spend money. Didn¡¯t they need to find a side hustle? Being an online celebrity was the most popular side hustle recently, they just casually shoot videos without needing to work 9-5. They also won¡¯t embarrass their husband¡¯s families. They were simply just ¡®sharing their life¡¯. Song Yu-er was still considered quite forward-thinking. She had been dabbling in these since high school, and now, it was taking on some success. However, she had given herself the image of a socialite and the videos she took were all of her flaunting her wealth. However, in those videos, not many of those things used actually belonged to her. The female reporter¡¯s eyes immediately widened. ¡°Where, where?¡± Su Muxue gave her the room number. After the two of them left, she looked at Su Yuanwei and the others. ¡°Dad, Mom, Brother, you guys go back first. I can handle this.¡± She did not want her family to go up and dirty their eyes. Su Yuanwei and Chang Yuan were obviously worried, but seeing Su Muxue¡¯s determined look, they knew that she had made a decision and they could not change anything. ¡°I¡¯ll get Dong Yu to arrange someone for you.¡± Su Yuanwei was worried and wanted to find a bodyguard for Su Muxue. ¡°No, it¡¯s not¡­ convenient for me.¡± Su Muxue disagreed. ¡°Then we¡¯ll get a woman.¡± Su Yuanwei pursed his lips, keeping his stand firm. Su Muxue was about to plead with Chang Yuan when she saw that Chang Yuan also had the same attitude. She had no choice but to agree. What they didn¡¯t notice was that Yan Zhao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he suppressed it. Su Wangting noticed it, but this kid¡­ better stay away from his sister! Chapter 14 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Because both parties were busy, the three members of the Su family left after saying goodbye and Su Muxue and Yan Zhao went into the hotel. It was intense on the 23rd floor. Su Muxue didn¡¯t expect that Song Wei and Song Yu-er would stay on the same floor last night! The most intense room was Song Yu-er¡¯s. The pillows in her room were scattered all over the corridor. Su Muxue pinched one up with her thumb and index finger and carried it in front of her into 2308. Xu Jiao and her other two sidekicks were there, comforting Song Yu-er who was like a madwoman. Wu Tong stood at the side. There were five finger marks slapped on his face, and his naked torso was also covered in bloody scratches. As soon as she saw her, Song Yu-er¡¯s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. She cried and pounced over, ¡°Mu Xue!¡± Her hair was messy and her expression was crazy. Those who knew would think that they were best friends and those who didn¡¯t would think that she was going to eat Su Muxue. Su Muxue took two steps back. Yan Zhao was like a bodyguard, he dutifully went up to stop her. He did not even flinch from such a big impact. ¡°I found this outside the door. It should be yours.¡± Su Muxue put the pillow on the bed, found a chair, and sat down. Her back was straight and her posture was elegant, unlike everyone else in the room. ¡°Mu Xue, Mu Xue! Quickly help me!¡± Song Yu-er was stopped and she just simply sat back on the bed. ¡°Anyway, something like this happened between you and my brother too. We¡¯ll be a family from now on. You can¡¯t bear to see your sister¡¯s reputation being ruined, right?¡± Xu Jiao and the others had always been in the room and had no idea that something else happened on this floor. They thought that Song Yu-er was telling the truth and looked at Su Muxue with wide eyes. Wu Tong knew, but he was in a sorry state and did not want to remind them. Responding to their shocked faces, Su Muxue asked with a smile. ¡°You guys don¡¯t know?¡± Xu Jiao and the other two hurriedly shook their heads. ¡°We went home after dancing last night. Yu-er was the one who told us to come and knock on the door today.¡± ¡°Oh¡­ So you¡¯re the one who planned everything so carefully.¡± Su Muxue praised. Song Yu-er gritted her teeth in anger. Of course, she and Song Wei had planned everything perfectly, but who would have thought that the ones that would be sleeping in this room would be her and Wu Tong? She did not mind not sleeping with Wu Tong, but it¡¯s mainly because not only did Xu Jiao and the others find out about it, reporters also came just now! How was she going to keep her pride in the future? Su Muxue said, ¡°You¡¯ve calculated everything perfectly, your calculation even got yourself involved. Great. ¡± ¡°What do you mean¡­¡± ¡°Yu-er!¡± After chasing the two reporters away, Song Wei hurriedly rushed to the room they had agreed on yesterday. He did not even have the eyes to look at such a mess of a room. ¡°Brother?¡± Just as Song Yu-er was about to express joy, she saw a woman following behind Song Wei. The two of them looked like they knew what had happened. Song Yu-er looked at Su Muxue immediately. Su Muxue smiled. ¡°Now then you realize that something is wrong?¡± ¡°Muxue, I¡­¡± ¡°The three of you conspired together. What a good plan! You would either intoxicate me or drug me. You even sent a text message asking my family to come over. Why don¡¯t you get your parents to come over too?¡± Su Muxue¡¯s voice was light, but everyone could hear her clearly. ¡°That way, when the Su family deals with your family in the future, they¡¯ll know why.¡± ¡°M-Muxue!¡± Song Yu-er threw herself at Su Muxue¡¯s feet and wanted to stretch out her hand and reach her, but Su Muxue directly got up and avoided her. ¡°W- We didn¡¯t do it on purpose. My cousin has indeed admired you for a long time. He likes you so much and he¡¯s so outstanding. I just wanted to matchmake the both of you!¡± What a talent Song Yu-er was, she could still cry while finding excuses. ¡°To matchmake onto the bed? What a good friend you are! Then, when the same thing happens to you, aren¡¯t you supposed to¡­ treat the person who admires you well?¡± Chapter 15 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Muxue did not know whether Wu Tong admired Song Yu-er or not, but she felt that it was quite interesting for the two of them to torture each other. Oh right, there was also Song Wei. Since this woman had called a tabloid reporter to report about Song Wei, it just proved that this matter would not end so easily. It did not matter if they wanted the money or her. After all, this took shape from the plans of these siblings, and Song Yu-er was probably the mastermind behind it. When the time came, the only person Song Wei could blame was Song Yu-er. However, that was not what she came to settle today. ¡°Where¡¯s the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯ And yesterday¡¯s ¡®Tinkle¡¯.¡± At the mention of this, even crying was difficult for Song Yu-er. ¡°Muxue, w-what are you talking about?¡± ¡°What am I talking about?¡± Su Muxue looked at her and smiled.¡± You must not know that I installed surveillance cameras in the cloakroom of the three-bedroom flat. Miss Song¡¯s technique is really¡­ Tsk tsk, you are very used to it. ¡± Song Yu-er¡¯s face turned deathly pale. ¡°I¡¯ve already prepared the video. I¡¯m just waiting for the thief to deny it and hand it over to the police. As for whether there will be any media reports by then, I don¡¯t know. After all, the police have to report it too, right? Tsk, the socialite who just had a confirmed scandal has also committed the crime of stealing. I wonder how many of the 800,000-odd fans she has will be left.¡± Su Muxue said it so casually, but every line she said stabbed at Song Yu-er¡¯s heart. ¡°You b*tch!¡± Song Yu-er got up and wanted to pounce on Su Muxue again. She wanted to ¡®paint¡¯ on Su Muxue¡¯s beautiful face with her fingernails. Unfortunately, the only person she could paint on was Yan Zhao. When her nails scratched down, only Song Yu-er could see the coldness in Yan Zhao¡¯s eyes clearly. She was instantly so frightened that she couldn¡¯t even speak. Su Muxue could only see Yan Zhao¡¯s back and wondered why Song Yu-er had just stopped talking, but it didn¡¯t affect her performance either. ¡°If you¡¯ve never done it before, I wouldn¡¯t even be able to frame you. Now, the person who made mistakes can openly accuse the person who has discovered it? What kind of logic is that? Should I pretend that I didn¡¯t see anything and continue to be a good friend? Then this good friend is too cheap.¡± Song Yu-er was not injured when she was thrown to the ground by Yan Zhao just now, but her sanity was not clear anymore. ¡°Haha, Su Muxue, you come to tell me these things now, do you even know the pain of being ignored by your family? I am their only daughter, but they gave all their love to their nephew! I wanted to spend three to five thousand to buy a necklace and they rejected me multiple times, but he! Young Master Song spends more than thirty to fifty thousand yuan in the nightclub every day!¡± ¡°You¡¯re crazy!¡± Song Wei was enjoying the show when he was suddenly called out. Her madwoman¡¯s aura scared him and he left quickly. There was no attachment between the siblings at all. This was also related to their upbringing. Since Song Wei was young, it had been instilled in his mind that he was the biggest in the family. All those sisters would eventually have to marry out. There was no need to care about them. If he had not taken a liking to Su Muxue this time around, he would not even have bothered with Song Yu-er. ¡°Hahaha, that¡¯s what family is!¡± Song Yu-er seemed to have gone mad. Su Muxue came closer and squatted down to look at her. Yan Zhao wanted to stop her, but she shook her head. It was also at this time that she saw the wound on his face clearly. She was stunned. Yan Zhao took half a step back. Su Muxue said to Song Yu-er, ¡°You are not strong mentally, that¡¯s why you couldn¡¯t withstand even a single blow. Where is the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯?¡± ¡°What do you know?! You¡¯ve lived a luxurious life since you were young. How would you understand if you haven¡¯t experienced it?!¡± ¡°You haven¡¯t been without clothes since you were young, have you? There are so many orphans in the world. In the end, do they all blame their unfair fate and take revenge on society? These are all your personal choices. You can say that these external factors affect you, but how you choose ultimately depends on your heart.¡± Su Muxue¡¯s eyes were clear. In her previous life, she had seen many things that happened in the dark, which also intensified her yearning for sunlight. Many things were not clear about being right or wrong., It just depended on what one¡¯s heart was. Besides, this was just a small matter of stealing. It wouldn¡¯t even get a long sentence. What made Song Yu-er so crazy was just her weak heart. Song Yu-er lowered her head for a while before saying, ¡°It got sold by me..¡± Chapter 16 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After clarifying the whole story, Su Muxue left in a hurry. Yan Zhao thought that she was busy looking for the ¡®Jade Bone¡±, but he did not think that she would go straight to a pharmacy after she went out. Yan Zhao walked slowly. When he entered, she was asking, ¡°When you get scratched by someone¡¯s fingernails, you¡¯ll need a rabies vaccine¡­ Ah, no, tetanus?¡± The staff felt helpless. ¡°For a not particularly deep wound just disinfecting it will do.¡± ¡°Huh? There won¡¯t be any risk of infection?¡± Su Muxue was suspicious. Yan Zhao saw that the staff was about to roll his eyes and hurried over. Su Muxue just pointed at the wound on his face and said, ¡°Look, this is the wound.¡± Yan Zhao suddenly recalled a joke he¡¯d seen before. If you had come a few minutes later your wound ¡­ would have healed! ¡°It¡¯s just a scratch. It¡¯s okay,¡± he assured her. The staff took a closer look. ¡°It¡¯s indeed a little deep. It should be okay after washing it with hydrogen peroxide and disinfecting it afterward.¡± While the staff was helping them deal with it, Su Muxue was watching attentively, exactly like when they were attending lessons in high school. At that time, they were in the same class. In his opinion, she would occasionally become colorful. When she was colored, she was like a genius who could understand everything. When she was gray, she would use all her of brain and still be unable to learn anything. Now, it was as if two colors had blended together. The young girl¡¯s face was bright and exquisite right now. Yan Zhao had recalled again that when they were in high school, the young girl still had some baby fat on her face. If only he had the chance to pinch her face a few times then, it would definitely feel very good. However, he instinctively felt that if he dared to touch her then, she would be like a little lion, fiercely biting off a piece of flesh from his body. In the end, Yan Zhao had a patterned band-aid left on his face; Su Muxue chose it. ¡°You just need to disinfect the wound a few more times. Young man, you¡¯ll get better soon.¡± When the two of them walked out of the pharmacy, they could hear the shop assistant exclaiming, ¡°Ah, young couples have good relationships!¡± Hearing that, Su Muxue was stunned for a moment before she realized that her actions just now would cause misunderstandings. But¡­ How to go about explaining this? ¡°Um¡­ I¡¯m going home. Are you going back to Forest Park?¡± Su Muxue asked. Forest Park was the name of the estate they lived in. When Yan Zhao heard this, he knew that she was going back to the Su family¡¯s house, so he nodded. Su Muxue gave him the bag of medicine. ¡°Did you hear what he said just now?¡± Yan Zhao had been too focused on looking at her just now, but this kind of thing was more or less the same. After hearing it once, there was no need to listen to it anymore in the future. Even so, he still hummed in acknowledgment. ¡°Then remember to apply the medicine yourself when you get back!¡± Yan Zhao waited with Su Muxue until the Su Family¡¯s chauffeur came. When he saw her get into the car, Yan Zhao found a bus route and took the bus back. He had always been familiar with this mode of transportation. He had earned quite a bit from working part-time, but he had saved up all of it. In the past, he had wanted to use it as a start-up fund, but now, he suddenly changed his mind. He wanted to¡­ buy the three-bedroom flat he lived in. The Su family had given it to him, but Yan Zhao never had the thought of claiming it for himself. He would eventually return it one day. Everything that he had used all these years, he would return it all. In the car, Su Muxue suddenly realized that what had happened yesterday and today was not written in the original storyline. Moreover, according to the original book, Su Muxue, the original female side character really wanted to marry the male protagonist Shen Xiuyuan. Without any hesitations and with determination. She probably must have never experienced such disgusting things before. That meant that even if she didn¡¯t get Yan Zhao to pick her up last night, she would still be safe. However, in the original book, Song Yu-er had always been jumping around behind Su Muxue, but now, this was definitely not the case. The discovery made Su Muxue both excited and restrained. She was excited because she had changed the storyline related to her. She restrained herself because she was not sure if she could change the main storyline related to the male and female protagonists after the real storyline started. Fortunately, she had the opportunity to experiment today.. Chapter 17 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios There was no master at home in the Su family¡¯s villa. Su Yuanwei and Su Wangting went to work. Chang Yuan brought some people to Five Blessings House to buy pastries for her. ¡°Mom went there personally?¡± Su Muxue was surprised. She still thought that Chang Yuan would get the servants to go. ¡°Madam won¡¯t let others handle anything regarding Miss¡¯s matters .¡± The maid, Auntie Zhang, said, ¡°Madam also said that today was tiring for you, so you must be compensated!¡± These words made Su Muxue feel very happy. ¡°You haven¡¯t had breakfast, right? What do you want to eat?¡± ¡°Just randomly make some and help send it to my room. Thanks.¡± This was probably the first time Su Muxue thanked the servants at home. After she left, Mrs. Zhang was still in a daze. It seemed that Miss had really grown up. Su Muxue went back to her room and counted the money she could use. Su Yuanwei gave her a fixed monthly allowance of more than 100,000 yuan. If that was not enough, she still had his card in her hands. Previously, the original owner of the body didn¡¯t even have enough pocket money every month. She was extravagant and when she hung out with Song Yu-er and the rest, she was always the one spending money. There were also accessories, clothes, and cosmetics that she gave away. It was like Su Yuanwei not only raised one daughter, but several of them. Although this portion of expenses would definitely be saved now, Su Muxue still didn¡¯t have much money she could use. She opened a bank account on the internet. Su Muxue left 10,000 yuan in her hands for expenses and invested the rest of the money into the stock market. She had done a lot of research on this in her previous life. After transmigrating, when she was looking at the K-line map, she had a strange intuition that this stock would rise. After analyzing with her intuition and expertise, the prospects concluded were pretty good, so she just invested in it. Buying a few stocks with a few hundred thousand yuan did not even cause a tiny ripple in this huge market. Auntie Zhang came to deliver the food. After taking two bites, Su Muxue just remembered something and called Song Yu-er. Meanwhile, Song Yu-er was being scolded by her parents. After a few hours, the matter had already exploded. In the past, Song Yu-er¡¯s parents were proud of Song Yu-er¡¯s popularity on the Internet. After all, now, popularity represented traffic, and traffic represented making money. But now, Father and Mother Song wished they had never given birth to this daughter! ¡°It¡¯s already so late, and someone is still calling you?¡± After the scolding, Father Song sat on the sofa and panted heavily. Mother Song was the one who said that. ¡°It¡¯s Su Muxue.¡± Song Yu-er showed the phone to them. No matter for what reason Su Muxue called, Song Yu-er was grateful to her now. But gratitude and hatred happen in an instant. ¡°Mu Xue.¡± Song Yu-er picked up the call and turned on the speaker. ¡°Hey, Miss Song, you said that you sold the necklace. What about the money for the necklace? You have to return it to me, right?¡± Su Muxue¡¯s words made Song Yu-er panic. Her parents still didn¡¯t know about the necklace! ¡°I¡¯ll call you later.¡± Song Yu-er wanted to hang up the phone but was stopped by Mother Song. ¡°What necklace? Miss Su, are you talking about that ¡®Jade Bone¡¯? Didn¡¯t you already give it to our Yu-er? What does it have to do with you? Are you regretting it now?¡± ¡°I gave it to her? Is that what she said? Haha, how could I give away a necklace worth a million yuan just like that? Mrs. Song, that¡¯s my brother¡¯s birthday present to me!¡± ¡°We don¡¯t care about this. Miss Su, your family is so rich, why do you care about that bit of money? Besides, how difficult of a position is our Yu-er in now? Can¡¯t you help her?¡± Su Muxue was completely shocked by the shamelessness of this family. She decided not to dwell on it anymore and said, ¡°If that¡¯s what you¡¯re thinking Mrs. Song, then I¡¯ll call the police.. When the evidence is released, don¡¯t treat everyone like they¡¯re blind!¡± Chapter 18 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Seeing that Su Muxue had hung up the phone, Mrs. Song immediately pinched her. ¡°Are you stupid? You can even leave evidence of your crime for others!¡± Now that things had come to this, the only thing Song Yu-er was glad about was that she still has the money from selling the necklace. Initially, she had planned to buy a gift for her parents. However, after choosing for such a long time and not being able to find a suitable one, the money had not been touched. Seeing that her parents didn¡¯t want to care about her, she transferred the money to Su Muxue. Song Yu-er was also an interesting person. Because she was anxious to get it out of her hands, she sold a necklace worth 1,000,000 yuan for only 800,000 yuan. Su Muxue, who received the transfer, felt her heart stop. Having roast pork beats giving birth to a child like that. ¡°I don¡¯t want the rest of the money and stuff, just give me back ¡®Tinkle¡¯.¡± When they left in the morning, Su Muxue was worried about Yan Zhao¡¯s injury and Song Yu-er had no intention of looking for it either, so she didn¡¯t wait. Now that Song Yu-er had returned home, it meant that she had recovered. She still had to take back ¡°Tinkle¡±. This necklace had a more important purpose! In the afternoon, when Chang Yuan came back with the pastries, Su Muxue told her what happened in the morning. When Su Yuanwei and his son came back at night, Su Muxue repeated what she said at the dinner table. ¡°I didn¡¯t ask her for the rest of the money, mainly because I was afraid of trouble. I never thought that she would give me the 800,000 so easily.¡± As for the gifts given by the original owner of the body, Su Muxue really didn¡¯t want them anymore. No matter how valuable they were, they had already been owned by someone else, so she kind of despised them. It wasn¡¯t mentioned that after she got the 800,000 yuan back, Su Muxue also invested it into the stock market immediately. As long as it was done properly, to grow her money would not be a problem. When she first transmigrated here, she felt that it was fine as long as she lived a stable life. However, after seeing the Su family, she decided she wanted to let them be safe too. Even if the plot could not be changed, she still had to have the capital and determination to start over! ¡°Yes, Little Xue¡¯s actions are not bad. The Song family has never treated that girl well. She doesn¡¯t have any money in her hands, and the Song family won¡¯t even help her give this sum of money. When the time comes and she¡¯s forced into a corner, she might just do about anything.¡± Su Yuanwei looked at his daughter and also glanced at Su Wangting. ¡°The biggest hope of your mother and me in this lifetime is that both of you will be healthy. It is also a very important skill to stop losses in time!¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± Su Muxue, who was praised, was very happy. She took the opportunity and said, ¡°Then, since I am so smart, shouldn¡¯t Papa reward me a little?¡± ¡°Oh? Did something catch Little Xue¡¯s eyes?¡± Su Yuanwei thought that she was asking for a gift. ¡°No.¡± Su Muxue rubbed her fingers and smiled. ¡°It¡¯s just that I feel like my recent living expenses are a little tight.¡± Su Yuanwei laughed and transferred it to her. That night, Su Muxue found that she had an extra 500,000 yuan in her account! 400,000 was given by Su Yuanwei and Chang Yuan. The remaining 100,000 was from Su Wangting. In her memory, even though Su Wangting was working for the Su Corporation, his monthly salary did not exceed 10,000 yuan. Most of the money he has was earned through investments. It was earned to raise his sister. Su Muxue felt that Su Wangting definitely didn¡¯t have a girlfriend! After a while, Su Muxue washed some fruits and brought them to the study. It was not late now. Su Yuanwei was still working in the study. ¡°Dad, let me ask you something.¡± ¡°Okay, tell me.¡± Su Yuanwei ate a grape and felt that whatever his daughter brought was just sweet! ¡°Do you know about Qingyuan corporation?¡± Chapter 19 Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Qingyuan Corporation was the company of the male lead in the original book, Shen Xiuyuan¡¯s family. In the original book, the Su Corporation rode this huge ship across the river and became one of the top enterprises in Linqing City. However, because of Su Muxue¡¯s foolish actions, they gradually fell, step by step. In the end, even ¡°Su¡± disappeared. ¡°It¡¯s a very famous enterprise. Why?¡± ¡°Does our company have collaborations with Qingyuan?¡± ¡°Haha.¡± Su Yuanwei laughed. Then, he explained, ¡°Little Xue, the difference between the Su Corporation and the Qingyuan Corporation is the same as that between poultry and elephants. It¡¯s harder for us to get close to them than to pluck the stars. However¡­¡± Su Muxue was delighted until she heard the turn in Su Yuanwei¡¯s words. ¡°Qingyuan is indeed planning to enter the Linqing market soon. Two days ago, they even revealed their intention to call for bids.¡± Looking at Su Yuanwei¡¯s expression, Su Muxue knew that he must have wanted to try. She did not understand men¡¯s ambitions. It was as if the harder a peak was to climb, the more it could arouse their interest. ¡°Then can we not get involved in this?¡± Su Yuanwei was a little surprised, but he immediately remembered that she asked if it was possible. It was as if obeying his daughter had become an instinct. Seeing that, Su Muxue reached her hand out and shook his sleeve. ¡°Dad, isn¡¯t our life good enough now? I can buy a lot of things that others can¡¯t afford. Not to mention my classmates, which child of the families whom we have good relations with don¡¯t envy me? I think this is enough!¡± ¡°Is our Little Xue so easily satisfied?¡± Su Yuanwei smiled and teased her. He had a plan in his heart. ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m happy that our whole family is happy!¡± ¡°Alright then. In order to continue keeping Little Xue happy, if you¡¯re not willing, then we won¡¯t compete for it. However, there will definitely be people who will use this to their advantage, it will be fine as long as you can endure it mentally when that time comes.¡± As he replied, Su Yuanwei brought up some flaws. Others were right, he could not protect his daughter forever. Since that was the case, he should let her learn how to fly. However, he could still protect his daughter for many years, so it was fine for her to learn how to fly slower. Both father and daughter forgot one question. Su Muxue didn¡¯t explain why she didn¡¯t want to work with Qing Yuan, and Su Yuanwei did not ask either. When she came out of the study, Su Muxue washed some fruits again and wanted to bring them to Chang Yuan. She couldn¡¯t be biased. Then she bumped into Su Wangting. He seemed to be waiting for her. Su Wangting also grabbed a grape from the plate of fruits. ¡°Why did you go with Yan Zhao this morning?¡± He remembered that his sister didn¡¯t have a good relationship with Yan Zhao. ¡°He lives in the house opposite mine. I saw him when I came out, so he went with me.¡± When she told her family about what happened yesterday, Su Muxue didn¡¯t mention Yan Zhao. After all, it was already very late yesterday. If they knew that she was sent back home by a boy, they would definitely not agree. ¡°Opposite house?¡± Su Wangting was stunned. ¡°I¡¯ll get Dad to find another place this instance!¡± ¡°Ah, no need!¡± Su Muxue quickly stopped him. ¡°Uncle Dong must have made a mistake at that point in time. Uncle Dong even said to get Yan Zhao to take care of me more. Now that you mention it, won¡¯t dad have a talk with Uncle Dong because of this? We can just stay like this, we¡¯ll have to go through a lot of trouble to change it. Besides, we¡¯re getting along quite well now.¡± Su Wangting ate a piece of mandarin and carefully thought over his words. ¡°Little Xue, you¡¯re still young. Don¡¯t pay too much attention to a guy¡¯s appearance. I¡¯m a guy. I know that those good-looking guys may not have a kind heart behind their backs.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, brother!¡± Su Muxue blinked. ¡°I definitely won¡¯t be taken away by men so easily!¡± ¡°Yes, that¡¯s right.¡± ¡°But Brother, you¡¯re already 23 this year. Do you still not have a girlfriend?¡± Su Wangting choked on the orange juice. ¡°Cough, cough, cough! Why, why are you suddenly asking this?¡± ¡°You just transferred me so much money. If you have a girlfriend, won¡¯t she be angry?¡± ¡°What are you afraid of?¡± Su Wangting touched Su Muxue¡¯s head. ¡°Brother will make more money in the future!¡± ¡°Of course I know, but¡­¡± Su Muxue frowned and suddenly remembered something.¡± But why do we have to make so much money? ¡± ¡°Because I want to give myself and my family a better life. I want to have a compassionate heart, and also have the capital to build a large enterprise. Most importantly, times are like a raging torrent. If you don¡¯t keep up, you¡¯ll easily be left behind. No one wants to live the life of being left behind. Alright.¡± Su Wangting looked down at the remaining few fruits on the plate and smiled. ¡°Looks like you should wash some more..¡± Chapter 20 - When Did It Change? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios If one didn¡¯t follow, would it actually be easy for them to be left behind? In her previous life, she had worked her way to a position of the company¡¯s management and she knew that timing was very important. Sometimes, a few hours of hesitation could result in the loss of an opportunity. At this point in time, she could not be timid and afraid. If she gave it a try, she could sail, or she could just sink to the bottom of the sea. However, if she didn¡¯t give it a try, she would never have the chance to soar her entire life. Suddenly, many things became clear. Just like when she first transmigrated, she was just thinking of avoiding¡ª to avoid the plot, to avoid Yan Zhao. But just like her investment today, since she could accumulate the capital to start over again, why did she have to avoid it again and again? It was mainly Yan Zhao¡­ It was indeed a little difficult for her to avoid him. After enjoying a plate of fruit with Chang Yuan and even doing skincare together, Su Muxue went back to the bedroom and had a good sleep. The next morning, she woke up two minutes earlier than the alarm clock. When she went downstairs, the other three family members were already eating. ¡°Why are you up so early today? Aren¡¯t there no classes in the morning?¡± Chang Yuan asked. ¡°I want to go back early. I have homework to do.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Chang Yuan was disappointed. She was a full-time housewife, normally her favorite thing was for her daughter to come home and accompany her. But her daughter was becoming more and more independent. After she went to university, she didn¡¯t even come home as much. ¡°I¡¯ll come back next weekend! I have no plans for the weekend, I can stay at home for two days!¡± Right now, Su Muxue¡¯s coaxing skills are getting better and better. ¡°By the way, dad, what I said yesterday- you can nullify it.¡± Su Muxue smiled in embarrassment. ¡°I was too childish yesterday and brought it up to you before I actually understood it. Now I understand.¡± What she did not know was that Su Yuanwei had actually already made the collaboration with Qingyuan Corporation an important project for the next quarter. When she mentioned it yesterday, Su Yuanwei wanted to say that he could end the project today, but now, there was no need for that. Similarly, Su Yuanwei still did not ask her for the reason. He only smiled lightly and nodded, full of love for his daughter. Su Muxue was about to open the door when she heard the door open. She turned around and was about to greet them when she saw Yan Zhao bringing a bag over. ¡°Song Yu-er asked me to pass this to you yesterday. She said it¡¯s¡¯ Tinkle ¡®.¡± ¡°Okay, thanks.¡± Su Muxue took the bag and was about to go back when Yan Zhao opened his mouth again. ¡°Why do I remember that ¡®Tinkle¡¯ was bought by a mysterious buyer last month for nearly ten million yuan? Could it be that Miss Su was the one that bought it?¡± Of course not, both of them knew that. ¡°How can I have so much money?¡± Su Muxue turned her head and didn¡¯t hear the malicious intentions in Yan Zhao¡¯s words, but she realized that there was no plaster on the wound on his face and it had already scabbed over. ¡°Eh? Your recovery speed is so fast?¡± She reached out to touch the wound in shock. But Yan Zhao dodged instinctively. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m a bit worked up.¡± Su Muxue was a bit embarrassed. She wanted to go back but didn¡¯t know how to say it. Seeing that Yan Zhao didn¡¯t say anything too, she said, ¡°Want to come and sit for a while?¡± She thought that he would reject her and the two of them would go back to their respective homes. However, he actually nodded! When he sat down on the sofa, Su Muxue poured him some water. ¡°You helped shield me from Song Yu-er several times yesterday. I haven¡¯t thanked you yet.¡± ¡°How are you going to thank me?¡± Yan Zhao finally spoke. For some reason, Su Muxue felt that this conversation was somewhat familiar. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°Didn¡¯t you promise to buy me a car that day?¡± Yan Zhao added. Seeing that he didn¡¯t seem to be lying, Su Muxue sat down and seriously thought about this possibility. However, she said, ¡°If such a wound is worth a car. Then you¡¯re quite expensive.¡± Yan Zhao lowered his eyes and spoke gently, ¡°It¡¯s not that I¡¯m expensive. If I hadn¡¯t shielded you, you would¡¯ve been the one who¡¯d been hurt. So, isn¡¯t Miss Su¡¯s face worth a car?¡± Su Muxue touched her face. ¡°It¡¯s definitely not worth it. I don¡¯t have enough money to buy a car now. I¡¯ll have to wait for a few days¡­¡± ¡°You got the money back from Song Yu-er selling the necklace?¡± ¡°Yes. She sold a million-dollar necklace for eighty million. I don¡¯t even know how her brain works.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you think she¡¯s very pitiful? She has almost nothing now.¡± Yan Zhao¡¯s eyes were like torches as he stared at her expression. ¡°Am I not the pitiful one?¡± Su Muxue looked baffled and spread out her hands. ¡°I was almost tricked by them and they even got my parents to come. If their scheme succeeded, I might have to marry Song Wei!¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Yan Zhao suddenly drew closer, so close that he could almost feel her breath. ¡°The former Miss Su wouldn¡¯t have disregarded her friend¡¯s emotions like this, she values her pride the most.. When¡­ Did you change so much?¡± Chapter 21 - Nearly Got Caught Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Wh¡­ When did I change?¡± Su Muxue subconsciously wanted to deny it. ¡°You didn¡¯t change? In the past, Miss Su didn¡¯t even know what it meant to lure the snake out of its hole or to set her friend up. Ha, she could even stab Su Wangting twice for her friends! You even got money back from her. It¡¯s already not like Miss Su¡¯s style of doing things to not directly give things to them!¡± Yan Zhao didn¡¯t point out that her biggest change was her attitude towards him. In the past, Su Muxue didn¡¯t even bother to look at him. Now, not only did she hint for him to pick her up at night, but she also invited him to watch the drama unfold. She even bought him medicine. How¡¯s that possible?! But all of this happened just like that. Yan Zhao wanted to find out the reason urgently and let things develop according to the definitive course. ¡°Yan Zhao, that¡¯s enough!¡± Su Muxue exploded in an instant and pushed Yan Zhao. Yan Zhao was caught off guard and fell onto the sofa behind him. ¡°I know I¡¯ve never been as smart as you! You can look down on me, but this¡­ this is too much!¡± The girl¡¯s previously bright eyes were now welling up with tears. Her eyes and face were red as she said angrily, ¡°Song Yu-er was going to send me onto Song Wei¡¯s bed! Can¡¯t I not want this friend anymore?! Yes, I¡¯m not smart but I¡¯m not out of my mind! If you feel sorry for her, go find her! Go!¡± Su Muxue grabbed Yan Zhao and chased him out of the house. Back in the living room, she reached for a tissue. Her hands were shaking. She nearly got caught! Yan Zhao would never expect that the owner of this body would change. But if he keeps having this suspicion, wouldn¡¯t he send her to get sliced and researched on in the future? But how could she reduce his suspicions? To deliberately find fault? She¡¯d done enough of that lately. To be arrogant and despotic? That wouldn¡¯t do. What if she accidentally provoked others? She remembered in the original book, the Su family had lost a lot of money because of this. If they had all that money, wouldn¡¯t it be better for her to invest all that money instead? In the end, Su Muxue still couldn¡¯t come up with a good idea and she felt a bit sleepy. Seeing that it was still early, she set an alarm and went back to her room to sleep. On the other hand, Yan Zhao who got chased out didn¡¯t feel so good. She¡­ cried. He had never seen her cry during the few years that he had been living with the Su family. But now, she cried. Indeed, she would definitely feel terrible over her friend¡¯s betrayal It was normal for her to feel pain after he picked at her scab without hesitation. Yan Zhao returned back to the opposite house and took out a box. Inside was the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯ that got lost not too long ago. After he parted ways with Su Muxue yesterday, he went to find someone to buy it back. He didn¡¯t have enough money saved up and even borrowed some from Dong Yu. Yan Zhao wanted to wait for Su Muxue to leave the house to return the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯ to her as an apology. But even until nightfall came, Su Muxue did not leave the house. He checked her schedule online and found out that she had classes in the afternoon. When he called the teacher, Yan Zhao got roared at a few times. ¡°Su Muxue, right? You tell her that she won¡¯t need to come this semester! She doesn¡¯t come to class and she doesn¡¯t submit her homework. Does she think that the library her family donated can replace her academic credit points?! Tell her that she will definitely fail this subject! She doesn¡¯t need to come anymore!¡± The teacher who taught international trade had the surname Sui. He was like a gunpowder keg that would explode at any moment. He only had a good attitude towards students who had good results and were hardworking in class. It was hard for him to even have an okay attitude towards others. ¡°Mr. Sui, I am Yan Zhao.¡± His major was different from Su Muxue¡¯s, but they had some courses that coincided. Coincidentally, Mr. Sui also taught him too. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s Yan Zhao.¡± The teacher¡¯s pitch immediately dropped. ¡°I¡¯m apologizing to you on behalf of Su Muxue. I will send you her homework later. It¡¯s an accident that she didn¡¯t go to class today. She fell sick.¡± Of course, Mr. Sui believed what a good student said. Also, by not directly hanging up the call just now, he was giving Su Muxue a chance. ¡°Oh, oh, is that so? But you have to tell her that the next time she¡¯s absent from class I won¡¯t let her off as easily..¡± Chapter 22 - Fever Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After submitting the homework to Mr Sui, Yan Zhao started to knock on the door. Su Muxue was dazedly sleeping in the room. When she heard the sound, she thought that she was dreaming. No one answered for a long time. Yan Zhao had no choice but to find the mechanical keyhole and force his way in. When he entered the bedroom, he found Su Muxue sleeping soundly. Her face was red and her breathing was heavy. It was obvious that something was wrong. Yan Zhao reached out to touch her and felt that her forehead was frighteningly hot. ¡°Su Muxue! Su Muxue, wake up! You have a fever!¡± ¡°A fever?¡± Su Muxue couldn¡¯t even open her eyes, she was in a daze. ¡°You can¡¯t tell my mom. She¡¯s going to get worried.¡± Yan Zhao was so angry that he didn¡¯t know what to say. She still cares about that right now? Even so, he did not inform the Su family on the way to the hospital. ¡°Overwhelmed with fear and pent-up emotions. Has something happened to you recently?¡± In the hospital, a kind-looking elderly doctor with white hair was giving Su Muxue a diagnosis. Yan Zhao didn¡¯t understand. ¡°Isn¡¯t it a fever?¡± The doctor took a look at him and took out an unknown herb from his pocket. He put it under Su Muxue¡¯s nose and let her smell a few whiffs before he started the standard procedure for lowering a fever. ¡°Young lady, this is an acute illness. There weren¡¯t any warning signs before, right?¡± Seeing Yan Zhao nod subconsciously, the elderly doctor smiled. ¡°You¡¯ll be fine after tonight. Young man, you must take good care of your girlfriend!¡± ¡°No, we¡­¡± Yan Zhao wanted to deny it, but found it too troublesome and just admitted it. ¡°I will.¡± Hearing that, the elderly doctor left with a smile. Su Muxue lay on the bed with her eyes closed. She didn¡¯t know what the elderly doctor had done to her. She only felt that the fuzziness in her mind seemed to have been washed away in an instant, leaving only clarity. From an onlooker¡¯s perspective in the dream, she saw the past years of Su Muxue¡¯s life with her own eyes. She shared her pain and sorrow, her laughter and joy. This completely filed down the barrier between them. When she woke up, Su Muxue had completely forgotten about her fright yesterday. ¡°Cousin Muxue? It¡¯s really you!¡± Just as Su Muxue got up and was about to leave, someone pushed the door open and greeted her warmly. Su Muxue turned around and said with a somewhat distant attitude, ¡°Cousin Xinhan. Tan Xinhan was the child of Su Muxue¡¯s aunt. ¡°So I didn¡¯t see you mistakenly yesterday, Yan Zhao was indeed carrying you!¡± Tan Xinhan came up and greeted her affectionately. ¡°Cousin Muxue, what happened to you? Are you sick? Is it serious? Why didn¡¯t Aunt Yuan come along?¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s a bit of a flu.¡± Su Muxue didn¡¯t want to talk to her. She didn¡¯t have a very close relationship with her cousin and now she wanted to leave as soon as possible because she didn¡¯t want to see Yan Zhao again. After questioning her like that yesterday, it was simply not enough for him to just send her to the hospital! ¡°Cousin Xinhan, why did you come here? You have family here?¡± ¡°Oh, no, my grandfather is here for consultation. Cousin, you don¡¯t know yet, right? My grandfather is a doctor hired by this Lin Hospital! Ordinary people want to but they can¡¯t even register for his consultation. There are even people who traveled thousands of miles from the capital city just to be seen by him!¡± Tan Xinhan¡¯s eyes were full of delight. She couldn¡¯t compete with Su Muxue in other aspects, but once her Grandpa was mentioned, she couldn¡¯t even stop talking! Su Yuanwei had never mentioned anyone else from the Su family. There might not even be other people in the Su family! Her father was right. No matter how powerful the Su family was, it was still difficult for a single post to bear the burden. They were not like the Tan Family. The Tan family had a vast number of family members and it was not something a small family like the Su family could compare with. Su Muxue found it funny. She looked down at the thermos in Tan Xinhan¡¯s hand.. ¡°It¡¯s indeed amazing, but won¡¯t the food turn cold if you deliver it any later?¡± Chapter 23 - Cousin Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Tan Xinhan didn¡¯t care about this at all. She was just here to deliver the meal as a formality. There were so many grandchildren in the Tan family and naturally, Old Master Tan didn¡¯t need her, a granddaughter who wasn¡¯t in a favored branch of the family, to worry about his meals. What she was doing now was just for others to see. Upon hearing that, Tan Xinhan pretended to have just remembered something. ¡°Cousin, look, I forgot. I¡¯ll go deliver food to Grandpa first. If I have time, I¡¯ll go to your house to hang out!¡± At the mention of going to the Su Family villa, Tan Xinhan was reminded of Su Muxue¡¯s endless clothes and accessories. She¡¯ll just beg a bit and she¡¯ll easily be able to have some of them. Tan Xinhan even swallowed her own drool thinking about this. Fine, another greedy person. Su Muxue shook her head. This was the consequence of not having boundaries. Everyone treated her things as their own. ¡°Cousin Xinhan¡¯s grandfather is so amazing and you¡¯re so filial to him. He must be very nice to your family too, right? It¡¯s been so many years, why hasn¡¯t cousin invited us to your house?¡± ¡°Erm¡­¡± ¡°Oh look, you¡¯re preparing to go home?¡± Before Tan Xinhan could finish speaking, an old voice came from the door. At the same time, Yan Zhao walked in. Seeing Su Muxue standing up on the floor, Yan Zhao first put the things in his hands on the table and then said in an unquestionable tone, ¡°You haven¡¯t fully recovered yet, why are you getting out of bed?¡± When she saw him, Su Muxue was furious. ¡°I¡¯ve recovered. I can go home now!¡± Yan Zhao frowned. ¡°No, you¡­¡± He couldn¡¯t say the rest. He wanted Su Muxue to rest more, but he had never said caring words to anyone. He had no experience at all! Su Muxue wanted to leave, but he stood there and blocked her way. She had no choice but to sit down. At this moment, she heard a weak voice. ¡°Grandpa¡­ Grandpa.¡± It was her good ¡°cousin¡± who said it, directing it at the white-haired old man at the door. However, the old man did not hear what Tan Xinhan said. Or rather, he did not want to hear it. He was quite interested in the lover-like quarrel between Su Muxue and Yan Zhao. Su Muxue looked at Yan Zhao and wondered who this old man was. Yan Zhao gave a concise introduction. ¡°He¡¯s the doctor that¡¯s treating your fever.¡± If people who were familiar with them knew that Old Master Tan was being summarized in such a simple sentence, they would have wanted to argue with him. Even Tan Xinhan felt that Yan Zhao and Su Muxue were like fools, they rush in where angels fear to tread. She was waiting for her grandfather, Tan Xu, to flare up, but she did not expect him to accept this introduction with a smile! ¡°Yes, I¡¯m the doctor who treated your fever yesterday. How do you feel today, young lady? Are you fully awake?¡± It was just an ordinary question, but Su Muxue felt that there was a deeper meaning in his words. She couldn¡¯t help but look at the old man and saw a pair of deep and wise eyes. ¡°It¡¯s a good thing that you¡¯re clear now, but if there¡¯s anything you don¡¯t understand in the future, you can come and ask me.¡± Not only did Tan Xu give Su Muxue his contact number, but he also gave her the herbs he used on her yesterday. ¡°I found this herb when I went up a mountain to pick herbs. It¡¯s fated with you, so I¡¯ll give it to you. It looks good when worn as an accessory too.¡± That was true. The herbs were stored in a uniquely shaped bottle. Even if there were no herbs inside, it could still be worn as a necklace. ¡°But I¡¯m not related to you at all. Why would you give me something so valuable?¡± Only then did Tan Xu look at Tan Xinhan, who had been standing at the side for a long time. ¡°If I remember correctly, you¡¯re Xinhan¡¯s cousin, right? So, you¡¯re indeed related to our family! And this isn¡¯t that valuable, I have as many as you want..¡± Chapter 24 - Fated Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When Tan Xinhan got home, she told her family that Su Muxue had received a gift from Old Master Tan. Mrs. Tan, Chang Jing, could not figure out what connection Old Master Tan had with Su Muxue. She pulled Tan Xinhan and said, ¡°Tell Mom everything that happened today.¡± After hearing Tan Xinhan¡¯s words, Chang Jing still couldn¡¯t find anything wrong. She made up her mind. ¡°Come with Mom to your cousin Muxue¡¯s house this weekend. I don¡¯t believe we won¡¯t find anything!¡± When Old Master Tan was young, he traveled extensively and saved people¡¯s lives. He had also resold medicinal herbs before. When he was middle-aged, he managed to build a large family business that was ranked among the top in Linqing City. He had four sons and one daughter. He wanted to nurture one of them to inherit his legacy and continue to treat patients and save lives, but his children were just coveting his assets. Tan Xu had no choice but to look for suitable successors among his grandchildren. Indeed, he had nurtured a few, but it was still unknown who would be able to learn all his skills. However, Tan Xu had already thought it through. His children and grandchildren had their own blessings. No matter how much fuss his children kicked up, it was fine as long as it did not affect him. Thankfully, his wife had gone early and would not see their children being so useless. Otherwise, she would not have such a calm state of mind. As for his good impression of Su Muxue, Tan Xu felt that it was fate. It was as if God had given him a task before he left. He needed to take care of that child. He needed to take care of her better than his own children. Furthermore, he liked that child very much. Nowadays, there are not many children left with clear and bright eyes like hers. After receiving Old Master Tan¡¯s gift, Su Muxue felt a bit strange. She looked at Yan Zhao in confusion. ¡°Did you tell him something when I was asleep yesterday?¡± Isn¡¯t she the one that¡¯s more suspicious? Yan Zhao thought. But he hid his thoughts at the right time. He knew that if he brought this up again, she would definitely get angrier. ¡°No.¡± Yan Zhao took out the things he¡¯d bought. ¡°Come and eat first.¡± While Su Muxue was thinking about Old Master Tan, the chopsticks were already in her hand and she even had a mouthful of soup dumplings. The dumplings were very delicious. She didn¡¯t want to put it down after eating it, so she could only stare fiercely at Yan Zhao. ¡°You went too far yesterday. It¡¯s not something that can be solved with just breakfast!¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Yan Zhao opened the bowl of porridge for her without any temper. There was no trace of his aggression from yesterday. Su Muxue cursed in her heart. Has he changed his personality? Little did she know what Yan Zhao was thinking¡ª- he wanted to search for more evidence by her side! When she got back to Forest Park, someone was waiting for Su Muxue at the door. ¡°Hello, Miss Su. My name is Mo Qing. I¡¯m the bodyguard your father got for you.¡± They had short, neat hair, tight pants, and a leather jacket that made it easy for them to move. Their eyes, which were firmly looking straight ahead, revealed a message to Su Muxue: this person could hold a fight very well! Mo Qing looked at Yan Zhao. ¡°This is?¡± ¡°Yan Zhao.¡± Yan Zhao said his name coldly, nodded at Su Muxue, and went back to the opposite side. Mo Qing deliberated over her words and said, ¡°I remember Mr. Su said that Yan Zhao has already moved out of the Su Family villa. So, what¡¯s this?¡± Seeing that Su Yuanwei trusted Mo Qing so much that he even told her such a thing, Su Muxue didn¡¯t hide it from her. ¡°Yes, he did move out, but my father¡¯s secretary must have made a mistake during that time, so he arranged for him to live opposite me.¡± Mo Qing said with a serious expression, ¡°Forgive me for being blunt, but you should tell Mr. Su about this as soon as possible.¡± ¡°Why would I tell my dad? To get him to teach his secretary a lesson and then change where Yan Zhao is going to stay? My family¡¯s money doesn¡¯t grow on trees, it¡¯s not that easy to buy a house.¡± After they entered, Su Muxue pointed at the only empty room. ¡°You will stay in that room. That is my bedroom and the other is the cloakroom.¡± ¡°But the appearance of such an unstable factor will also threaten your safety,¡± Mo Qing continued to suggest.. Chapter 25 - Forum Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Why would you say that he is an unstable factor?¡± Su Muxue looked at her. Under such a gaze, Mo Qing felt a rare sense of guilt. ¡°Mr. Su said that his father is unknown.¡± ¡°Yes, indeed. But he has been living in the Su Family for so many years, and now he is being sponsored by the Su Family. It¡¯s not very appropriate for you to describe him like that.¡± Su Muxue¡¯s tone was cold. After she said that, she didn¡¯t give Mo Qing a chance to speak again. ¡°Okay, I have classes this afternoon. That¡¯s all for now.¡± Su Muxue could describe Yan Zhao in any way she wanted. She knew how the story would develop later on, and she knew how vicious he would become. But other people didn¡¯t know that and described him solely based on his family background. This made Su Muxue feel attacked and naturally, she wasn¡¯t willing to let it happen. Moreover, she couldn¡¯t reveal that by living across from Yan Zhao and learning about his movements, she would know if he had any intention to take over the Su Corporation. When she returned to her room, Su Muxue found a box on the nightstand. She opened it and it was the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯! If Song Yu-er said that she sold the ¡°Jade Bone¡± and returned the money she got from selling it, she definitely would not buy it back. Then this¡­ could only be left by Yan Zhao. Su Muxue took the box and knocked on the opposite door, but no one came to open it. He¡¯s not home? They had just returned for such a short period of time, he went out again? Su Muxue had no choice but to put the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯ in the bag she always carried. She would just ask Yan Zhao the next time they met. In the afternoon, before class, someone said when they saw Su Muxue, ¡°There¡¯s this person whose family¡¯s money is being used to support an outsider, yet they¡¯re so petty about helping one or two of their friends. She really can¡¯t tell which of them are genuinely sincere towards her huh?¡± ¡°I¡¯m confused too! Say, is the top student of the cohort that good? Not only did they pay for his school fees but they also cut-off ties with their friends just to save him. Those who don¡¯t know would think that there¡¯s something going on between the two of them!¡± A girl with a round face turned around and hinted softly to Su Muxue, ¡°Look at the school forum!¡± Every school¡¯s forum was a small space that recorded everything that happened in the school. It was the same for Ming Song. After Su Muxue clicked on it, she saw a post pinned at the top of the homepage posted by the ID ¡°Song Yu-er¡±. The post described in detail how Su Muxue framed Song Yu-er in stealing the ¡®Jade bone¡¯ and how she forced her to return the money in the presence of Song Yu-er¡¯s whole family. A classic example of distorting the truth. In the post, Yan Zhao was sculpted as the loyal guard standing next to her. Although the contents of this paragraph were about the same, Su Muxue was unhappy when she saw that the post insinuated that she framed Song Yu-er for Yan Zhao. As soon as Song Yu-er entered, Su Muxue stopped her. ¡°Did you post this?¡± ¡°What did I post? What are you saying? I, I don¡¯t understand.¡± Song Yu-er looked like she was about to cry from the shock. At that moment, not only did the girls who had mocked her earlier stand up for her, there were even guys that stood up for her. ¡°Su Muxue, don¡¯t go overboard!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! We didn¡¯t care when you usually bullied others, but we definitely can¡¯t let you bully her now!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Schoolmate Song is already very pitiful after experiencing what happened online. You can¡¯t bully her anymore!¡± They wanted to go forward but Mo Qing alone stopped them. Song Yu-er¡¯s joyful expression only lasted for two or three seconds before Su Muxue turned around again. Boohoo, she was so scared! ¡°Alright, since our schoolmate Song doesn¡¯t admit to stealing anymore, I¡¯ll just show you the evidence!¡± Su Muxue turned on her phone and played the recording from that day. Luckily, she was very prepared as she was afraid that Song Yu-er would not admit it then. ¡°Mu Xue, help me¡­¡± ¡°We didn¡¯t do it on purpose. My cousin has admired you for a long time¡­¡± As the recording was played, Song Yu-er¡¯s face turned pale. The people who were filled with righteous indignation earlier were also embarrassed. Someone even said, ¡°Records nowadays can be faked¡­¡± ¡°Yes, you are right. But who can fake such genuine feelings? If you all still don¡¯t believe it, I¡¯ll just call the police. The box of the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯ is still there. We can test the fingerprints.¡± Su Muxue¡¯s attitude made everyone shiver.. Chapter 26 - Comeback Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Forget it, we¡¯re all classmates¡­¡± Someone tried to mediate. Su Muxue sneered. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you say that we are classmates just now?¡± She really did not expect Song Yu-er to make a comeback. Thinking about it, she probably wanted to garner attention on the school forum before posting it on other websites. Then, there will be schoolmates who knew her that will stand up for her, and she would make a few ambiguous statements about being caught in bed that day and she could step on Su Muxue and clear her name! What a good plan! Su Muxue asked tentatively, ¡°Are the posts for other websites uploaded yet?¡± Song Yu-er couldn¡¯t even stand straight. ¡°M-Muxue, on account of the few years that we¡¯ve known each other, spare me this time¡­¡± She was bawling her eyes out, but not many people were in the mood to care about her. Being targeted by Miss Su was not something that could be resolved so easily. Even the girls who mocked her just now fell to the ground! ¡°Don¡¯t say that. I hadn¡¯t even thought of a way to teach you a lesson yet, so how could I possibly spare you?¡± To Song Yu-er, the smile on Su Muxue¡¯s face was like a devil from hell. She cried out and ran out of the class. Right at this moment, the teacher arrived. It was unknown if he had arrived just in time or if he had finished appreciating the drama. ¡°Alright, for our management lesson today¡­¡± The teacher on the podium blinked his peach blossom petal shaped eyes. Even though a set of spectacles blocked him, one could still see his handsome appearance. This was the youngest professor in Ming Song, Lin Yuan. ¡°Okay, let¡¯s get someone to answer this question. The girl next to Su Muxue looks unfamiliar. We¡¯ll get you to answer.¡± After being a bodyguard for so long, this was the first time Mo Qing encountered something like this. Su Muxue stopped her before she got up. ¡°Mr. Lin, she¡¯s not a student. She¡¯s my bodyguard.¡± In the commotion just now, the students were also wondering who exactly this good-looking, cold, and skillful person was. Some guessed that she was Su Muxue¡¯s bodyguard, but some thought that if that was so, then Su Muxue was being too high-profile. You don¡¯t see anyone bringing a bodyguard to class. But now that Su Muxue pointed out Mo Qing¡¯s identity, no one dared to say anything. The aftermath of the incident had yet to dissipate. They did not dare to approach her immediately. On the other hand, the round-faced girl who gave Su Muxue a heads-up just now, Wang Nianwei, looked at Mo Qing with admiration. To her, whether it was Mo Qing or Mo Qing¡¯s occupation, it was all filled with mystery. Lin Yuan smiled and casually mentioned to Su Muxue, ¡°Why is there suddenly a bodyguard?¡± He was young and was usually very close to his students. But when he said that, he sounded like he was very familiar with her, as if he had known Su Muxue for a long time. Others thought right. Lin Yuan was Su Wangting¡¯s classmate. As his older brother¡¯s classmate, he often came to the Su family villa. After becoming a teacher at Ming Song, Su Wangting reminded him many times to take care of Su Muxue. Previously, Lin Yuan had treated this as a request from a friend. He just had to fulfill his responsibility. However, today, he realized that this girl had a spark that no one else had. ¡°To prevent others from harming me.¡± Su Muxue knew what Lin Yuan meant and answered accordingly. ¡°Last weekend wasn¡¯t just me exposing Song Yu-er ¡®s theft. There was also her brother, Song Wei. Although I was lucky enough to escape, my father was worried and sent Mo Qing to protect me.¡± She did not explain in detail. Some people in the class were confused, but those with sharp senses could tell what was going on immediately, including Lin Yuan.. Chapter 27 - Visitor Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios After Su Muxue¡¯s explanation, no one thought that she was pretentious anymore. After class, Su Muxue was looking at the stock index on her phone. She was mainly looking at the Song family¡¯s stock index. In the Song family, Song Wei¡¯s lineage was considered a direct line of descent. Song Yu-er¡¯s lineage was considered a side branch, the kind that had to depend on Song Wei¡¯s lineage to survive. Therefore, it was normal for Song Yu-er¡¯s parents to curry Song Wei¡¯s favor. However, Song Yu-er would not think of this. She would only think that her parents favored boys over girls. However, how that branch of family was doing had nothing to do with Su Muxue. The Song family was only related to this one company. It seemed that the Su family had been suppressing the Song family ever since the incident happened. Since Monday, the Song family¡¯s K line went downwards. There were the wails of small individual investors and there were also some that had the foresight to say, ¡°Ever since I saw the news about Song Yu-er on the Internet, I sold all of her family¡¯s stocks. Haha, looks like I did the right thing.¡± Their gloating tone made people want to beat them up. Su Muxue looked on the Internet again. Song Yu-er, a small-time Internet celebrity, had created such a huge scandal but it was only at the bottom of the trending list. In comparison, Song Wei¡¯s news was not even on the list at all. Everyone in Linqing City knew that Young Master Song was famous for being flirtatious and passionate. He changed women faster than he changed clothes. Such a small matter naturally wouldn¡¯t catch people¡¯s attention. Also, it seemed that the school forum did not have a good response and because Su Muxue scared Song Yu-er away, she did not use Su Muxue to create any drama on the Internet. After reading it, all Su Muxue said was, ¡°Smart.¡± Later, when she talked to Su Yuanwei on the phone, Su Muxue expressed that she wanted him to let the Song family off. She did this to protect the Su family. Previously, Su Yuanwei had also said that people would retaliate after being forced to a certain extent. Even a rabbit would bite when it was anxious, let alone a company? The Song family¡¯s ability to develop and grow definitely did not lie within people like Song Wei and Song Yu-er. After hearing what she said, Su Yuanwei, who dotes on his daughter like his life depended on it, naturally agreed. During the weekend, Su Muxue promised Chang Yuan early on that she would go home. She rushed back home early in the morning on Saturday. Not long after she started accompanying her mother, Auntie Zhang reported that there were visitors that arrived. Su Muxue and Chang Yuan looked at each other and saw Chang Jing and her daughter walking in. ¡°Cousin Mu Xue! I¡¯m really here to visit you. Are you happy?¡± Tan Xinhan looked like she had a lot of energy but nowhere to put it. She tugged at Su Muxue and said, ¡°Cousin, I haven¡¯t been here for a long time. Can you take me to your cloakroom to play?¡± ¡°This girl only cares about playing wherever she goes!¡± Chang Jing laughed. She looked at Chang Yuan and said a little embarrassedly, ¡°Sis, you won¡¯t blame me for spoiling my child, right?¡± She did not mention why Tan Xinhan wanted to go to Su Muxue¡¯s cloakroom. She only mentioned their relationship, which made Chang Yuan speechless. Su Muxue patted the back of Tan Xinhan¡¯s hand and said calmly, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll pour some tea for aunt first.¡± Tan Xinhan immediately stopped her. ¡°Auntie Zhang will be the one to pour the tea. Cousin, why are you doing the maid¡¯s work?¡± Su Muxue smiled. ¡°It¡¯s sincere to pour the tea yourself. I remember that you are also in your third year of high school. How are your grades? Can you enter Ming Song?¡± As she was speaking, she poured Chang Jing a cup of tea. As soon as Chang Jing drank the tea, she felt that her sister¡¯s niece was getting more and more difficult to deal with. Of course, playing in the cloakroom was just an excuse. She was just interested in her good stuff! Without batting an eyelid, Chang Jing tried to lure them into the cloakroom. ¡°You cousins are talking to each other but don¡¯t talk in front of us sisters. Just go to Muxue¡¯s room.¡± Su Muxue clearly saw the look she and Tan Xinhan exchanged. Great, they¡¯re being bandits in her house! Tan Xinhan pulled Su Muxue to her room. ¡°Cousin, why are you saying all these? My family will definitely not donate a building to Ming Song for me.. Cousin, if you¡¯re willing, you can help me tell uncle?¡± Chapter 28 - My Child Is Smart Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Chang Yuan could not figure out what this cousin was here for. Overall, the relationship between the two sisters was mediocre. Back then, Chang Jing was able to marry into the Tan family and she showed off in front of Chang Yuan for a long time. But the result of that? There were many rules in an influential family. Although the only senior left was her father-in-law, it was not easy to get along with so many siblings. Chang Jing often acted happy in front of Chang Yuan. However, Tan Xinhan¡¯s father never accompanied the two of them to the Su family villa. Their eldest daughter, Tan Xinshu, also rarely came. She was said to have been fetched and nurtured by Old Master Tan. However, Chang Yuan had never seen the results of her being nurtured. ¡°Sister, I heard that Muxue was sent to the hospital by Yan Zhao on Tuesday?¡± Chang Jing said that because she had observed that Yan Zhao was absent. In the past, Chang Jing had seen Yan Zhao when she came over. For some reason, that child felt like a wolf cub to her, fierce and intimidating, as if he would bite off a piece of flesh from her if she did anything wrong! In her opinion, Yan Zhao didn¡¯t seem to be like an outsider who was fostered in the Su family. Instead, he seemed more like a wolf raised by the Su family who specialized in dealing with outsiders. But since the Su family had never admitted to it, she could not say much. Chang Yuan immediately put down her teacup. ¡°Who did you hear that from?¡± ¡°My father-in-law.¡± Chang Jing didn¡¯t mention Tan Xinhan and instead pushed the blame to Tan Xu. They wouldn¡¯t dare to confront Tan Xu. ¡°My father-in-law has been hired by Lin Hospital. He happened to see Mu Xue and Yan Zhao when he was on duty. Sister, Yan Zhao and Mu Xue are getting closer, aren¡¯t they?¡± Chang Yuan took a sip of tea and said slowly, ¡°My family has never met your father-in-law before. How did he recognize my child at first glance?¡± As soon as she said this, Chang Jing choked. ¡°Cough cough! Maybe my father-in-law is paying extra attention.¡± ¡°Oh? Jingjing, you have to thank your father-in-law for me. The Tan family has quite a number of grandchildren, right? He actually paid attention to my family? But yes, that¡¯s right, my Muxue is indeed smart and lovable.¡± Chang Jing originally wanted to find out what was the relationship between Su Muxue and Tan Xu. Why did Tan Xu think so highly of her when they had just met? He even gave her his contact details. However, she did not expect to lose this opportunity just because she wanted to gossip. What was the point of trying to find out if Su Muxue and Tan Xu knew each other? She had just admitted it! ¡­ Tan Xinhan wanted to pull Su Muxue into the cloakroom, but Su Muxue dragged her into the room. Tan Xinhan looked aggrieved. ¡°Sis, aren¡¯t you bringing me to see your new jewelry?¡± ¡°What¡¯s there to see?¡± Su Muxue pointed at the sofa. ¡°Sit down. What did you mean just now? You want my dad to help you get into Ming Song too, right?¡± Upon hearing that, Tan Xinhan sat down next to Su Muxue and said affectionately, ¡°Yes, yes, Uncle is so capable. It would be a piece of cake for him to send me in.¡± ¡°But compared to Old Master Tan, my dad is not that powerful. Why don¡¯t you ask Old Master Tan to help you?¡± Su Muxue looked at her with a smile. ¡°Didn¡¯t you deliver food to Old Master Tan before? You can do such a small thing without any effort, right?¡± ¡°Huh? T-that¡¯s for sure.¡± Tan Xinhan smiled unnaturally. How would their family dare to bring this up? Tan Xu liked people who were talented but did not show them off the most. He disliked people who were hypocritical and relied on money to build their reputations. If they dared to mention this, wouldn¡¯t they be asking for a beating? ¡°Cousin, the cloakroom¡­¡± Tan Xinhan brought it up a few more times but was either interrupted or slurred over by Su Muxue. With no choice, she could only target the small ornaments in the room. ¡°Cousin, this dragon-shaped doll is so cute..¡± Chapter 29 - Good Relationship With Song Yu-er Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Well, it costs 157,000 RMB. If you break it, remember to pay.¡± Su Muxue said indifferently without even looking at it. ¡°Cousin! Since when do you value money so much?!¡± Of course, Tan Xinhan knew the value of this ornament. It was not the first time she had seen it. She also knew that not only did Su Muxue have this dragon-shaped toy, she also had the rest of the zodiacs. It was Su Yuanwei¡¯s birthday present to her on her seventeenth birthday. However, Su Muxue¡¯s zodiac was a dragon, so this was the only piece she placed in the room. Su Muxue chuckled. If she didn¡¯t value money she wouldn¡¯t come to visit her either. ¡°Cousin, you must be joking. Who doesn¡¯t value money?¡± ¡°You weren¡¯t like this in the past!¡± ¡°That¡¯s because I was stupid before.¡± Su Muxue sipped her tea and thought of something. ¡°If I remember correctly, you have a good relationship with Song Yu-er?¡± When Chang Jing brought Tan Xinhan to play, Song Yu-er and the rest were also here. Since they were of similar age, the adults naturally let them play with each other. Because they all knew how to get along with Su Muxue, they complimented her so much and got a lot of good stuff from her. When Su Muxue thought about it later, she did regret it, but she didn¡¯t want to lose her friends so she never asked for them back. At that time, Tan Xinhan and Song Yu-er had a good relationship. She heard that they had hung out a few times on their own. ¡°Of course not, Cousin. Didn¡¯t we meet here?¡± Because of what happened online, Tan Xinhan refused to admit that she knew Song Yu-er. ¡°Is that so? Two days ago, Song Yu-er even tried to trick me again. Although she didn¡¯t succeed, her comebacks are really annoying.¡± The way Su Muxue plucked the grape was inexplicably ruthless. Tan Xinhan felt that if Song Yu-er were here, she would have plucked her head off as well. ¡°Is¡­ Is that so? I didn¡¯t know about this. Cousin¡­ I¡­ I suddenly remembered that I still have homework to do, I¡¯m going home first.¡± Tan Xinhan rushed out of the room in a hurry. Chang Jing was thinking about how to talk about the relationship between Su Muxue and Tan Xu when Tan Xinhan pulled her arm to go home. ¡°What happened?¡± Seeing Tan Xinhan¡¯s pale face, Chang Jing thought that Su Muxue did something to scare her. Su Muxue also came out and stood beside Chang Yuan. She smiled. ¡°Cousin said that she has homework to do.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± Chang Jing didn¡¯t know what Tan Xinhan was doing. How could a third-rater high school like hers have homework? The school would even want to have half a month of holiday every month. Homework? It would be best if all the students didn¡¯t go to school and continued paying school fees!¡± Chang Jing was pulled away just like that, but Chang Yuan patted Su Muxue. She turned around and saw her mother¡¯s slightly stern expression. ¡°Your aunt said that you went to the hospital on Tuesday?¡± Su Muxue smiled obsequiously. ¡°Yes, I must have caught a cold. I just needed to get an injection.¡± ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell us?¡± Chang Yuan¡¯s eyes were getting wet. ¡°There are so many people entering and leaving the room, what if there¡¯s bacteria? What if you miss Mommy when you¡¯re asleep? In the future, you can¡¯t not tell Mommy when you¡¯re sick, understand?¡± ¡°I know, I know. Look at me, It¡¯s not like I get sick often!¡± After comforting Chang Yuan, the mother and daughter finally discussed Chang Jing and her daughter¡¯s intentions for visiting. ¡°You said you met Tan Xinhan that morning?¡± Chang Yuan asked. ¡°Yes, she said she was going to deliver breakfast to her grandfather. By the way, her grandfather looks very kind. He even gave me this.¡± Su Muxue took off a strangely-shaped necklace from her neck. She didn¡¯t know if it was her imagination, but she felt that after wearing this necklace, not only did her hearing and vision become sharper, but even her mind became much clearer. It was also because of this that she had increased investment profits. ¡°I also have his contact information. Old Master Tan gave it to me as well. He said that if there¡¯s anything I don¡¯t understand, I can look for him. But I don¡¯t seem to have anything to ask him..¡± Chapter 30 - Preparing To Visit Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Silly child, that¡¯s just an excuse for him to get closer to you. How could he wait until you have questions to visit him?¡± Chang Yuan immediately understood what Old Master Tan meant. When Su Yuanwei and Su Wangting returned at night, they also told them about this matter. At this moment, Su Muxue was pouring drinks for the family like a hardworking bee. Without waiting to discuss Old Master Tan¡¯s matter, Su Yuanwei laughed. ¡°Why are you so solicitous? What does Little Xue fancy this time?¡± Su Wangting was deep in thought. ¡°I think Shi Wei¡¯s new bracelet is not bad. It suits Little Xue very well.¡± Shi Wei was the jewelry company that Nicks worked for. Besides Nicks, who only produced one design every three years, Shi Wei also had many other designers who produced new designs every month, every quarter, and every year. Every time these new products were released, only ten of them were personally made by designers, while the rest were made by factories. Therefore, these ten were usually super expensive. People like the Su family doted on their daughters endlessly, they were also Shi Wei¡¯s VVIPs. Every time there was a new design, they would be sent right to Su Yuanwei. Even if these big customers did not buy anything, it was very necessary for them to give some opinions and communicate their feelings. Su Muxue put her hand on her forehead helplessly. ¡°I¡¯m not that shallow. I just saw that dad and brother have to work even on the weekends. It¡¯s so tiring.¡± Just this one sentence made Su Yuanwei and Su Wangting feel that a day of hard work was nothing. ¡°Haha, my daughter has grown up.¡± Su Yuanwei said with a smile and then asked Su Muxue, ¡°Our collaboration with Qingyuan Group is progressing smoothly and slowly. Little Xue, do you think there is anything we need to pay attention to?¡± Su Wangting was stunned. Why ask Little Xue about this? But what shocked him, even more, was that Little Xue thought for a moment before saying, ¡°Be careful of those around you.¡± Other than Su Muxue¡¯s relentless pestering of Shen Xiuyuan that made the Shen Family unhappy, there was also the collusion of Su Yuanwei¡¯s right-hand man Dong Yu, with Yan Zhao that gave the Su Family their fatal blow. This was why the Su Family had collapsed so quickly in the original book. So in the end, Yan Zhao carved up most of the Su Family¡¯s assets, followed by Shen Xiuyuan. Right now, Su Muxue wasn¡¯t sure if Dong Yu and Yan Zhao colluded yet, so she couldn¡¯t tell Su Yuanwei about Dong Yu directly. When Chang Yuan saw this, she smiled and said, ¡°What kind of riddles are you two talking about? Oh right, what do you think about Old Master Tan¡¯s incident just now?¡± ¡°What do I think? Haha, Little Xue is so smart. It¡¯s normal for Old Master Tan to like her,¡± Su Yuanwei praised with a smile. Su Wangting was a little hesitant. ¡°Little Xue is undoubtedly outstanding, but the sudden goodwill from Old Master Tan is still suspicious. Little Xue, did you do anything special when you met Old Master Tan?¡± Su Muxue thought to herself. I was asleep, how can I do anything special? However, she couldn¡¯t tell her family about this. If she was sent to the hospital when she wasn¡¯t fully awake, her family would be worried. ¡°Nothing special, I didn¡¯t even say much.¡± Su Muxue was also puzzled. What was it about her that was worthy of Old Master Tan¡¯s attention? The remaining three family members looked at each other. Su Yuanwei said, ¡°In that case, let¡¯s prepare a lavish gift tomorrow and visit the Tan family.¡± Su Yuanwei looked at Su Muxue. ¡°Get Mo Qing to come along.¡± At the mention of Mo Qing, Su Muxue also had a lot of questions. ¡°Dad, where did you find such a person? Mo Qing could almost be an actress. Why did she work as a bodyguard for our family? She can make a lot of money as a celebrity!¡± What Su Muxue didn¡¯t mention was Mo Qing¡¯s temperament. Sometimes when she looked over, for some unknown reason, she felt that Mo Qing seemed to have killed someone before. But when Mo Qing met her gaze, that feeling disappeared again. Su Muxue wouldn¡¯t doubt her own feelings, which meant that Mo Qing had disguised herself too well! Su Yuanwei laughed and said, ¡°How are you so sure that she doesn¡¯t earn as much as a celebrity?¡± Chapter 31 - Showing Respect Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Muxue was surprised. After she came back to her senses, she said, ¡°Then I might as well guarantee my own safety. You can just give me the money that you used to hire Mo Qing.¡± Su Yuanwei: ¡°Of course, but the prerequisite is that you can beat her.¡± ¡°Well, this is a difficult problem, but it¡¯s not like I can¡¯t try.¡± Hearing Su Muxue¡¯s words, the other three all laughed. Who didn¡¯t know that Miss Su couldn¡¯t even pass her 800-meter physical fitness test? Otherwise, why didn¡¯t the rumors say that she was ¡°all brawn and no brains¡±? But, Su Muxue was a little confused. Su Yuanwei was just an ordinary entrepreneur, how was he able to hire a person like Mo Qing to ensure the safety of his daughter? Someone like Mo Qing was definitely not someone that could be hired with just money! The next day, Su Muxue called Old Master Tan in advance and made sure that he was resting at home before the family of four traveled to the Tan family home. Although Old Master Tan lived in a standalone house too, the interior design of it was far better than that of the Su family villa. The small bridge, flowing water, and the bamboo garden seemed simple, but everything revealed that the owner was extraordinary. The four members of the Su family were led by the servants to the main courtyard. They said, ¡°Old Master Tan is waiting for you inside.¡± However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Old Master Tan was waiting at the door. Behind him were a man and a woman who looked like husband and wife. ¡°Dad, the Su family is here to visit you. Why did you come out to welcome them? I¡¯ve never heard of how influential the Su family of Linqing is. Is it really good for you to show them so much respect?¡± The man who spoke was Tan Lang, Tan Xu¡¯s second son. The woman beside him was his wife, Liu Chuxiang. Tan Lang was right. After all, when an influential figure from the capital city came to visit in the past, Tan Xu also waited in the house calmly. He has never waited at the door like this time. Wasn¡¯t this a different way of being disrespectful to them? What would they think if they heard this? ¡°Hmph! I¡¯m here to welcome the youngsters I like. It¡¯s not the same as those who come to beg me.¡± Tan Xu looked at Tan Lang unhappily and grieved. Tan Lang might look like this, but he was already one of the rare few of his children that were presentable. If the others were to come over, the situation would be even worse! ¡°Alright, later, speak less and do more. If I don¡¯t give you instructions, you don¡¯t need to speak!¡± Upon hearing this, Tan Lang was furious, but he did not dare disobey. Liu Chuxiang comforted Tan Lang and said gently, ¡°Dad, don¡¯t be angry. The Su family should be arriving soon.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± This daughter-in-law was quite sensible. The Su family hurried over and saw a white-haired, hale, and hearty old man. ¡°Old Master Tan.¡± ¡°Young lady, you made an elderly man wait so long!¡± If he wasn¡¯t waiting here, he wouldn¡¯t have to listen to his son¡¯s irrelevant words. Both sides greeted each other, but to everyone¡¯s surprise, Tan Xu directly greeted Su Muxue. Su Muxue was surprised, but she didn¡¯t show it on her face. She smiled as if she had already expected it, she was graceful and poised. The three members of the Su family looked at each other. They did not know when their child had grown to such an extent that she did not even flinch when meeting her seniors. Tan Xu introduced Tan Lang and Su Yuanwei to each other. When they sat down, he dragged Su Muxue to sit beside him. ¡°Dad, isn¡¯t it inappropriate for a child to sit right next to you?¡± Liu Chuxiang gritted her teeth when she saw Tan Xu¡¯s attitude towards Su Muxue. Her child had never sat beside the Old Master before! ¡°You said so yourself, she¡¯s still a child. Isn¡¯t it the same no matter where she sits?¡± Tan Xu pressed Su Muxue down and stopped her from moving.. He turned to ask her, ¡°Young lady, are you afraid of sitting next to an old man like myself?¡± Chapter 32 - Electronic Voice Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Of course not.¡± Su Muxue peeled the fruit and handed it to Tan Xu. ¡°You helped me with my diagnosis and gave me a gift. Of course, I won¡¯t be afraid of you.¡± Although she could not figure out why Tan Xu treated her well, how could she bear to reject someone else¡¯s kindness? Especially from an elderly man like Tan Xu who had white hair and a kind gaze. Chang Yuan and Su Yuanwei were also afraid that Su Muxue would offend Tan Xu if she sat next to him. Now that Tan Xu had said so himself, it would be inappropriate if the both of them continued refusing. Liu Chuxiang was quite angry, and the topics she brought up were all harsh. ¡°I heard that Mu Xue¡¯s grades are not good, and you had to donate a building to Ming Song for her to be able to go to school? Sigh, our child is not good either, but it¡¯s no problem for them to get in on their own.¡± The smile on Su Yuanwei¡¯s face instantly faded. ¡°What are you talking about? Children can only rely on their parents during these few years. If we as parents can¡¯t let our children rely on us more comfortably during these few years, wouldn¡¯t we be a failure as parents?¡± ¡°Exactly.¡± Chang Yuan added, ¡°Since a child¡¯s happiness can be bought with money, why not?¡± The biggest taboo of Mr. and Mrs. Su when they were out, was when others mentioned Su Muxue¡¯s grades. Their child clearly had so many strengths, yet they did not mention them and only mentioned this flaw. These people just wanted to laugh at her. Since they wanted to laugh, then they would let them laugh until the end! It was just adding salt to someone¡¯s wound. Who doesn¡¯t know how to do that? Tan Xu did not like Liu Chuxiang¡¯s words at first, but Su Yuanwei and his wife¡¯s reply hit his heart. Indeed, as parents, they would want to create a good environment for their children. In this environment, it didn¡¯t matter whether their children were successful or not, it was fine as long as they were healthy and safe. ¡°Come, come. Don¡¯t mention such things on such a good day. This is the special-grade Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao tea leaves that Xinshu¡¯s father brought back last time. How about you try it?¡± Tan Xu greeted them with a smile. At the same time, Su Muxue was shocked when she saw the figure who was pouring tea. If she was not wrong, this was the original story¡¯s female lead, Tan Xinshu. However, she did not expect that the butterfly effect of her transmigrating would cause such a huge change. She did not see the male lead Shen Xiuyuan, but the female lead first. However, Su Muxue did not know that while Tan Xinshu seemed to be introducing the origins of the Wuyi Mountain Da Hong Pao, there was someone giving her reminders in her head. When the introduction came to an end, a mechanical electronic voice rang, it had a hint of coldness. ¡°That¡¯s the person who stole the female lead¡¯s glory from you! Tan Xinshu, you must kill her!¡± The electronic voice let out a wail and disappeared, but Tan Xinshu knew that it would return. She started observing Su Muxue. Sensing an inquisitive gaze, Su Muxue looked up and saw Tan Xinshu looking her up and down. Chang Yuan smiled when she saw this. ¡°Speaking of which, Muxue, this is your cousin Xinshu, whom you¡¯ve only met a few times. She went to the Su family villa before, but you were young back then and forgot about her.¡± Su Muxue nodded at Tan Xinshu. ¡°Cousin Xinshu.¡± For some unknown reason, she sensed hostility from Xinshu¡¯s gaze. But wasn¡¯t this the first time they met since they became adults? Whatever. She would deal with whatever came her way. Whatever she wanted to do, she would just keep her company; as long as she did not hurt the rest of the Su family. Tan Xinshu lifted her chin and nodded. She didn¡¯t make a single sound. Tan Xu frowned slightly. Since when did his polite granddaughter become so outrageous? Not only did she not greet the young lady, but she also did not even greet the two seniors of the Su family! Chapter 33 - What Do You Think Of Xinshu? Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios However, it was not appropriate for Tan Xu to say anything in front of outsiders, so he could only turn to Su Muxue and mention the small gift he gave her that day. ¡°How do you feel after wearing it for so long?¡± ¡°I feel very good.¡± Su Muxue¡¯s eyes curved into crescents when she smiled, making her look especially lovable. ¡°During this period of time, my hearing and vision are clear and even my sleep quality has improved a lot!¡± ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Tan Xu nodded with a smile. ¡°Young lady, would you like to visit my herb garden?¡± Su Muxue widened her eyes. ¡°Can I?¡± ¡°Of course you can.¡± Tan Xu stood up first. When he saw Su Muxue looking at Chang Yuan and the others, he smiled and said, ¡°Your child is out to play. You don¡¯t want to hold her back, do you?¡± Chang Yuan and Su Yuanwei smiled. Naturally, they could feel that Tan Xu really liked Su Muxue. It was the type of admiration from seniors towards the younger generation that did not have any personal gain mixed in it. They had not felt this kind of love for their child for a long time. Su Wangting was also elated. His sister naturally deserved the best. However, the Tan family was not in a good mood. Tan Xinshu even glared at Su Muxue. She had never been invited to Tan Xu¡¯s herb garden before! ¡°Grandpa!¡± Tan Xinshu was indignant but she still called out to him. She scurried to Tan Xu¡¯s side. ¡°Grandpa, I¡¯m worried about you going alone. Let me help you.¡± Liu Chuxiang snorted coldly. ¡°Your fourth sibling¡¯s daughter really knows what to do!¡± Her child was not at the Tan residence. Otherwise, Tan Xinshu would not stand a chance. Tan Lang smiled, his eyes dark. ¡°Number four¡¯s family is getting more and more ambitious.¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need. I still have the young lady from the Su family with me.¡± Tan Xu said. Tan Xinshu wanted to continue following but was glared back at by the bodyguards in black standing by the back door. In the Tan residence where Tan Xu lived, there were more than twenty bodyguards scattered around. It was the remuneration that was given to Tan Xu when he treated someone¡¯s sickness. These twenty-odd people were all strong and ferocious. They only listened to Tan Xu¡¯s orders. Even Tan Xu¡¯s most valued eldest grandson did not have success in ordering them around. When Tan Xu got up, Su Muxue helped him up. When they walked out of the main house, they could smell the faint smell of Chinese herbs. ¡°Young lady, what do you think of Xinshu?¡± It would take a few minutes to walk to the herb garden. On the way there, Tan Xu directly asked. Su Muxue was confused. ¡°Why are you suddenly asking me this?¡± ¡°You and Xinshu are relatives. This old man just wants to hear what others think of her.Mainly your opinion of her.¡± ¡°Cousin Xinshu is a young prodigy. Many songs composed and written by her back then are still very popular. Many people say it¡¯s such a pity that she¡¯s inactive now¡± Tan Xinshu used to be successful throughout her life and was even the champion of the Youth Singing Competition. However, no one knew when she became interested in medicine. Her inactivity had lasted for three years now. ¡°Why do you think she suddenly became inactive?¡± Tan Xu asked again. Su Muxue hesitated. ¡°Maybe she realized that she is more talented in medicine?¡± ¡°Then would you give up everything else because of your talents?¡± Su Muxue shook her head. ¡°It depends on whether I like it or not.¡± ¡°What if you like it?¡± ¡°If I like it, then I¡¯ll do my best, no matter where it ends. If I don¡¯t like it, I¡¯ll also spare some time to do it. But, I¡¯ll see where it ends and then decide where to stop.¡± The most important thing in life was to live happily. This was Su Muxue¡¯s requirement of herself after having the chance to start over.. Chapter 34 - For You Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Looking at Tan Xu¡¯s smiling face, Su Muxue blushed. ¡°You¡¯re laughing at me.¡± ¡°Haha, I¡¯m not laughing at you. It¡¯s not easy for a young lady to have the same life goals as an old man like me.¡± Tan Xu looked at the scenery in the yard and pointed in all directions. ¡°I erected all of these because I liked them. But Xinshu, that girl, has too many things on her mind. No matter what she does, she¡¯s skillful, but she lacks a lot of feelings!¡± Su Muxue thought of something. ¡°You¡¯re saying¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯ve heard the songs she wrote, but how many of them could she have understood at her age? She was the one who requested to come to me. I¡¯ve asked her many times, but she always avoids me. Forget it, children have their own path. I won¡¯t interfere with them.¡± Su Muxue had heard of Tan Xinhan¡¯s songs before. In a place where music didn¡¯t develop in such a grand manner, the songs that she produced could be regarded as godly works. However, these godly works weren¡¯t written by Tan Xinhan herself. ¡°We¡¯re here. This is my herb garden.¡± As soon as the door was opened, Su Muxue saw a lush scene. The fragrance of herbs assailed her nostrils, making her feel refreshed. As Tan Xu walked, he introduced the herbs to Su Muxue. When he reached the middle, he stopped and picked up a flower pot. There was a herb inside the flower pot, but it looked wilted and not very lively. ¡°This is the same kind of herb you¡¯re wearing around your neck. At that time, I went up the mountain and picked five of them. I thought that they would easily survive, so I made four of them into dry herbs. But I didn¡¯t expect this one to be half dead. I guess they can¡¯t live when they leave their kind, so I¡¯m giving this one to you.¡± Tan Xu said and stuffed it into Su Muxue¡¯s hands. ¡°Huh?¡± Su Muxue took out the dried herb on her neck and looked at it. If they were indeed living, wouldn¡¯t the one on her neck be a corpse already? Was it really good to live with corpses of the same kind? ¡°This is too expensive, Mr. Tan.¡± Su Muxue refused without thinking. These were herbs personally picked by Old Master Tan. The original value of the herbs aside, just saying that these herbs were personally picked by Old Master Tan would already make the herbs highly valued. Not to mention that there were only five herbs in total! ¡°Aiya, I¡¯ve already given it to you. Don¡¯t reject me.¡± After Tan Xu stuffed the flower pot to her, he directly walked to a corner and worried about the herbs there. When she heard that, she casually accepted it. Seeing that, Su Muxue also walked over. Su Muxue looked thoughtful. ¡°Is there something under your root that¡¯s causing this?¡± ¡°Hm?¡± Tan turned to look at her. ¡°Why do you say that?¡± Su Muxue shook her head. ¡°I don¡¯t know. That¡¯s just how I feel.¡± After pondering for a while, Tan Xu got a tool and just directly dug out the herb in front of Su Muxue! If the other members of the Tan family were present, they would definitely be shocked. The old master rarely let them enter the herbal garden, let alone these herbs that he valued more than his life! If Su Muxue knew the value of this herb, she would not dare to say anything so rashly. After Tan Xu shook off all the soil on the herb¡¯s roots, the two of them saw with their own eyes that there was a plump little worm at the intersection of the whisker-like roots! ¡°Wow! I¡¯ve been searching for so long, and you¡¯re actually hiding here!¡± Chapter 35 - Part-time Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios It was until then that Su Muxue realized that this worm was also a herb that Tan Xu kept. After individually keeping the Little Worm, it was as if Tan Xu had seen a treasure and showed Su Muxue all his herbs that had problems. It was also at then that Su Muxue learned that the environment required for the herbs to grow was different. Some of the requirements were weird. Some required 18 hours of light, some needed to grow in the cracks of stones, and some required highly specific temperatures. They could only grow well when the temperature reached that standard. After looking at them one by one, Su Muxue was also a bit tired. It wasn¡¯t like the ordinary fatigue of the body, but the drowsiness of the mind after concentrating for a long time. However, she couldn¡¯t answer how she knew what these plants needed when asked. Tan Xu asked again. Seeing that Su Muxue did not answer him, he decided not to ask anymore. After all, everyone has their secrets. By the time Su Muxue and Tan Xu finished viewing the herb garden and they went back, Su Muxue had directly collapsed onto the sofa! This gave the Su family a fright. Just as they were about to call for an ambulance, they saw that Old Master Tan was taking her pulse. ¡°It¡¯s fine. She¡¯s just too tired from using her brain too much. This is my fault. You all don¡¯t have anything else to do today, right? Then, have a meal here before you leave. Let the young lady have a rest here at my place.¡± ¡°How can that be good?¡± Chang Yuan was still a little worried. Old Master Tan had always been a righteous person, but her daughter got so tired that she fell asleep; this happened in the Tan residence. How could she not be worried? ¡°The young lady is already asleep. If you bring her away now, won¡¯t she be uncomfortable when she gets disturbed and wakes up on the way back? Don¡¯t worry, you can go to the room to take a look anytime,¡± Tan Xu said. Su Yuanwei saw that Su Muxue was indeed breathing deeply and her breathing was even and paced. She must have been in a deep sleep and would definitely be unhappy if she was disturbed. He had no choice but to agree. ¡°Then I¡¯ll have to trouble you Old Master Tan.¡± ¡°It¡¯s no trouble at all.¡± Tan Xu answered immediately. Tan Xinhan had just returned from outside. When she saw Su Muxue asleep, she apologized in a hurry. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Grandpa. My cousin is from a small family and she doesn¡¯t have manners. Please don¡¯t blame her!¡± Her words sounded like an apology, but they offended both parties. The small family was referring to the Su family. She clearly asked for Tan Xu to not blame them, but in fact, this exaggerated tone indicated that Tan Xu had a bad temper. The extent and profoundness of language were vividly displayed by Tan Xinhan. After she finished speaking, she even turned to Chang Yuan and said in an unpleasant tone directed at Chang Yuan, ¡°Aunt Yuan, your upbringing is too inappropriate!¡± Before Chang Yuan could respond, an unexpected person walked in. ¡°Yan Zhao? Why are you here?¡± Su Wangting spoke first. Not only that, he even stood next to Su Muxue. Yan Zhao was holding a bag in his hand. The zipper was very tight and no one could tell what it was. Instead, he looked dusty and dirty, as if he had gone to do manual labor. Under the stares of the Su family, Yan Zhaofang said in a muffled voice, ¡°I¡¯m working part-time.¡± Tan Xu added, ¡°After I met pal Yan at the hospital, I got him to help me pick some herbs. You know each other?¡± The news of Yan Zhao being fostered spread far and wide in school. Moreover, ever since the Su Corporation released a statement two days ago, saying that Yan Zhao had changed from being a foster child to being sponsored by them, there had been less gossip. After all, many students in Ming Song were funded by large corporations. There was nothing to laugh at. Such a small matter naturally did not reach Tan Xu¡¯s ears. Even Tan Xinhan who was a student of Ming Song, but rarely attended lessons, did not know either. ¡°Oh, he¡¯s a student funded by my family..¡± Chapter 36 - Such Strong Scheming Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Tan Xu smiled. ¡°What a coincidence. You all have your meal here. Come, let¡¯s go and see what you¡¯ve found this time.¡± The last sentence was directed at Yan Zhao. Yan Zhao didn¡¯t say anything, his eyes just looked at Su Muxue¡¯s direction. The moment he entered, he saw her lying there. He did not ask when he saw that the Su family, who doted on her so much, had no reaction.. However, he thought of a possibility and asked with a somewhat trembling voice, ¡°Did¡­ something happen to her?¡± Why did the Su family suddenly come to visit the Tan family, which they had never had much relations with? Could it be that something happened to Su Muxue and they came to look for Tan Xu to cure her illness? What kind of serious illness did she have that they needed for Tan Xu to check on her? Yan Zhao didn¡¯t remember that Su Muxue had just been checked by Tan Xu last week. ¡°You little brat, don¡¯t you want my sister to be well?¡± Su Wangting retorted. He carried Su Muxue and looked at Tan Xu. ¡°Old Master Tan, which room can Mu Xue sleep in?¡± ¡°The room at the end of the second floor will do.¡± As Tan Xu spoke, a servant guided Su Wangting. ¡°Please follow me.¡± When Tan Xu brought Yan Zhao into the study room, he glanced at Tan Xinshu, her eyes were filled with disappointment. He knew that his granddaughter was full of talent, but was her talent genuine? It¡¯s not like if he hadn¡¯t tested her before. She¡¯d managed to catch half of those attempts, but the other half made her look like a block of wood. These two completely different reactions made Tan Xu wonder if there were two people living inside his granddaughter. Only two personalities could explain her completely different reactions. However, Tan Xu never expected her to belittle her peers. If he hadn¡¯t known the real reason why the young lady of the Su family was unconscious, wouldn¡¯t he have been affected by her? She was so young, where did such strong scheming come from? ¡°Mr. Tan, Su Muxue¡­¡± After entering the study, Yan Zhao no longer had anything to fear and asked directly. ¡°That girl is fine. I just brought her around the herb garden. She got tired and she¡¯s just resting now.¡± Tan Xu didn¡¯t reveal Su Muxue¡¯s ability. Su Muxue had the ability, but it was up to her whether she wanted to tell others or not. Opening the bag, Tan Xu took a closer look. ¡°Hmm, the harvest this time is not bad. Is this really the harvest of one day and two nights?¡± Yan Zhao nodded. ¡°Very few people go to that mountain outside the city. It only takes two hours to get there by car.¡± ¡°Not bad, young man. Didn¡¯t you encounter anything else on the mountain?¡± Tan Xu praised while probing. He had also been to the mountain outside the city, but it was more than ten years ago. The mountain was tall and towering. The mountain was surrounded by fog all year round. Rumor had it that an old immortal lived there. Tan Xu refused to believe it. That kind of mountain only produced ferocious tigers in the forest. When ordinary people went to explore, they would only dare to climb halfway up the mountain. But looking at the herbs that Yan Zhao brought back, many of them only grew deep in the mountain. ¡°I did, but I made it through all of them safely.¡± Yan Zhao didn¡¯t elaborate on the dangers. He changed his clothes before he came here, but he just didn¡¯t look as exquisite as he did in the Su family residence. ¡°Haha, young man, you¡¯re all alone. Why are you working so hard?¡± Tan Xu calculated the bill and transferred the money to Yan Zhao. He even gave him more to prevent Yan Zhao from running away. Yan Zhao looked at the message on his phone and pursed his lips, not saying anything. ¡°Is it because of the girl sleeping outside?¡± Seeing that Yan Zhao didn¡¯t deny it, Tan Xu continued, ¡°Judging from how much the Su family dotes on that girl, the future son-in-law of the Su family must be very carefully selected. Even if their family backgrounds are not the same as each other, it definitely can¡¯t be any lower, right?¡± Yan Zhao didn¡¯t respond. ¡°You can look for me next time if you need anything..¡± Chapter 37 - World Consciousness Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Su Muxue had no idea what was happening outside. Ever since she fell asleep, she had completely entered her dream. In her dream, an old man with a long beard and white hair smiled at her. ¡°How¡¯s this ability?¡± Subconsciously, Su Muxue knew that he was referring to her ability when she was in the herb garden, but she didn¡¯t want to answer him now. ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°Hmm, who do I look like?¡± The old man stood up and walked around. Not only was his beard and hair white, but even his clothes were white. He looked like an old immortal that Su Muxue had seen on TV. However, Su Muxue didn¡¯t answer according to his liking. ¡°Like¡­ like a fraud!¡± ¡°Aiyo, you little lass!¡± The old man probably wanted to hit her, but the expected pain didn¡¯t come. When Su Muxue opened her eyes, she saw him retracting his hand with a tangled face. The old man sighed. ¡°So be it. As you can see, I¡¯m in charge of this area. I should have come when you first arrived, but there was a small accident and it was delayed.¡± Su Muxue tilted her head and looked at him. ¡°When I just got here¡­ When was that?¡± ¡°Two weeks ago!¡± The old man didn¡¯t waste time with Su Muxue. Then, he put on a serious expression and said, ¡°Before you came, I found a loophole in the world consciousness of this place. When I went to fix it, I found that someone had already crawled in.¡± Su Muxue was thinking about something and the old man said straightforwardly, ¡°It¡¯s exactly what you think! Tan Xinhan has a consciousness that doesn¡¯t belong to this world in her mind right now! We have to chase it away!¡± Su Muxue was confused. ¡°Why us?¡± ¡°Because you originally belonged to this world. However, due to a small accident, you went out,¡± the old man explained agitatedly. Su Muxue understood. ¡°So accidents happen often to the world consciousness here?¡± ¡°Aiya, that¡¯s not important!¡± The old man was so angry that his beard was almost flying. Why did she always pay attention to these strange points? ¡°You just need to know that if you help me chase that thing away, I can guarantee you glory and wealth! That was just a small reward just now.¡± Su Muxue didn¡¯t care. ¡°I still need you to assure my glory and wealth?¡± The old man: ¡°Then what do you want?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t thought about it yet. I¡¯ll think about it later.¡± The old man was horrified. ¡°You¡¯re not going to tell me not to marry anyone, are you?¡± Su Muxue looked interested. ¡°You can get a wife?¡± ¡°Eh? I don¡¯t think so!¡± Before Su Muxue woke up from her dream, she only had one thought left. Why did this old immortal look so stupid? She had just woken up when Chang Yuan, who was beside the bed, saw her. She quickly asked, ¡°How do you feel? Come and have some water.¡± Su Muxue took a sip from her hand and saw the pot of herbs given to her by Old Master Tan. ¡°Where am I?¡± ¡°You¡¯re still at the Tan family residence. Old Master Tan said that you¡¯ll wake up after sleeping for a while. Everyone is waiting for you to eat. Quickly get up.¡± Although Chang Yuan said that, she did not really believe Tan Xu when he said that. That was why she chose to stay here. Downstairs, Su Muxue looked at Yan Zhao in surprise. Why was he here? However, why did Tan Xinshu disappear? She wanted to see her consciousness! ¡°Little Xue?¡± Chang Yuan waved her hand in front of her. ¡°Why are you in a daze?¡± Su Muxue smiled. ¡°I¡¯m fine. I¡¯m just wondering why Cousin Xinshu and that couple disappeared.¡± Chang Yuan said, ¡°Your cousin Xinshu angered Old Master Tan, so he sent her back. Tan Lang and his wife had something to do at home, so they left.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Young lady, come sit with me. You¡¯re about the same age as Xinshu and Xinhan this year, so you can follow them and call me grandpa from now on. Old Master Tan makes me sound so old.¡± Su Muxue didn¡¯t know what to do, doesn¡¯t grandpa sound old too? Besides, she already has a grandfather, right? Su Muxue looked at Su Yuanwei and saw that although his movements did not change, his eyes were slightly still. He was obviously waiting for her answer.. Chapter 38 - The Feeling of Seeing Tan Xinshu Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios ¡°Then I¡¯ll call you Grandpa Tan. It¡¯s a good way to differentiate between what cousin Xinshu calls you.¡± Su Muxue said. ¡°Oh, that works too. By the way, young lady, I also took over a class at Ming Song. Do you want to transfer to the pharmaceutical department?¡± Tan Xu suggested. If the young lady really listened to his suggestion, wouldn¡¯t it be icing on the cake for him? How could Su Muxue not know what Tan Xu was planning? Su Muxue made eye contact with the old man and shook her head. ¡°I like my current profession. Maybe I can help my family after graduating.¡± She did not know that when she finished speaking, everyone else at the table heaved a sigh of relief. The Su Family didn¡¯t want their baby to study medicine. The Su Family had a big business and Su Muxue only needed to be a little worm. She only needed to think of spending every day and didn¡¯t need to worry so much. As for Yan Zhao, he had no idea what he was thinking. It was just like this meal. He shouldn¡¯t have eaten it, and it wasn¡¯t like he hadn¡¯t rejected Old Master Tan before. But today, he unexpectedly stayed behind. Once Su Muxue transferred to another department, she would no longer have any lessons that coincided with his current course. Then, the distance between the two of them would grow further and further. When they were about to go home after dinner, Su Muxue looked at Yan Zhao. Chang Yuan reminded her from behind, ¡°You forgot? Yan Zhao has already moved out!¡± Su Muxue frowned. She hadn¡¯t forgotten about this matter, but she had some questions to ask Yan Zhao, but there was really no reason to bring him back now. ¡°Then I won¡¯t go back with you. I¡¯ll go straight back to Forest Park!¡± Su Muxue said and followed Yan Zhao. Chapter 39 - I Have My Own Way Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios When Su Muxue was about to take out her phone, she touched the box in her bag and took it out. It was the box with the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯ inside. ¡°By the way, did you put this in my room?¡± ¡°Yes, I went to buy it after listening to Song Yu-er.¡± Su Muxue said, ¡°How do you have connections? Didn¡¯t Song Yu-er say that the person she sold it to is in the auction business?¡± It¡¯s the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯! Master Nicks¡¯ new work this year, if it was really auctioned off, the price could even exceed ¡®Tinkle¡¯! How could that person let the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯ go so easily? Yan Zhao looked straight ahead. ¡°I have my ways.¡± Su Muxue pursed her lips and put the box back. She was now sure that Yan Zhao already had connections that she didn¡¯t know about. She naturally wanted to take back the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯, but after hearing Song Yu-er¡¯s words, she knew that it was a place she could not touch. Going there rashly would definitely cost a lot, and it would probably be several times more expensive than when Su Wangting had just bought it. At that time, Su Muxue wanted Su Yuanwei to take her there. If she really had to go through the auction, she could just pay for it. After all, she was the one that lost it. But she hadn¡¯t expected Yan Zhao to take it back. The meaning behind this was a bit heavy. Su Muxue didn¡¯t really want to talk, so the two of them went back to Forest Park in silence. But when she entered the door, she was stopped by someone. Su Muxue thought that Yan Zhao wanted to explain, but who would have thought that Yan Zhao would raise the pot of herbs in his hand. Originally, Tan Xu had given the herb to Su Wangting, but seeing that Su Muxue didn¡¯t want to go home and he wanted her to have it, he gave it to Yan Zhao for some reason. Yan Zhao accepted it as well and quietly hugged it the whole way back. ¡°Thank you.¡± Su Muxue said and closed the door. Yan Zhao didn¡¯t know what was going on. He just returned the ¡®Jade Bone¡¯ to her. Why did it make her angry? Did she not like that necklace anymore? But the necklace was no different from before. Why? Was it because he was the one who gave it to her? The next morning, Mo Qing came back and went to class with Su Muxue. Yesterday, when Su Yuanwei wanted to assign Mo Qing a task, Su Muxue found out that Mo Qing only worked from Monday to Friday. So when she wanted to find her yesterday, it was normal for her to reject her because she was busy. But Su Muxue was curious about one thing. ¡°Are you working part-time, Mo Qing? How much do you make every month?¡± Mo Qing didn¡¯t tell her what part-time job she did, but the amount she spat out was enough to make Su Muxue envious. ¡°That¡¯s a lot!¡± Mo Qing couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Your family gives you quite a lot of pocket money every month too.¡± That being said, she had been with Su Muxue for a week and found that Su Muxue had almost no other expenses apart from eating and drinking. She didn¡¯t even go anywhere except for class. This was completely different from the playful Su Muxue that Su Yuanwei had mentioned to her before. ¡°Sigh, my money is still making money!¡± Su Muxue¡¯s eyes were sparkling. She was very happy at the mention of this. She quickly turned on her phone and checked the K-line again. Life was short and bitter. It was a blessing to be able to find something that can let you earn money happily! However, at this time, the class suddenly got worked up. Su Muxue looked confused. The round-faced Wang Nianwei said, ¡°Muxue, aren¡¯t you going to take a look? Tan Xinshu is back for class! And I heard that she¡¯s starting from the first year of university!¡± Chapter 40 - Fiance Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios Tan Xinshu didn¡¯t have much to look at, Su Muxue had just met her yesterday, but she asked, ¡°Why is she starting from her first year?¡± ¡°I think it was her grandfather who said it. Since she missed so many lessons, it¡¯s meaningless to continue studying. Her foundation is weak, it¡¯s futile no matter how she develops, but¡­¡± Wang Nianwei scratched her head.¡± Wasn¡¯t her grandfather the one that got her to serve by his side? Why did it suddenly change? ¡± ¡°Rumor has it that her grandfather was the one that requested for it?¡± Seeing Wang Nianwei nod her head, Su Muxue then realized how unreliable rumors were. There were so many outstanding children in the Tan family. How could Old Master Tan only choose someone who was still attending university to take care of him? If not for Tan Xinshu¡¯s willingness, who could make her miss classes? It turned out that her fault could be pushed onto others, even if it was her own grandfather. ¡°She¡¯s here, she¡¯s here!¡± Wang Nianwei backed off and quickly sat Su Muxue down. Tan Xinshu came forward like the moon surrounded by a myriad of stars. That¡¯s right. Su Muxue and Tan Xinshu were in the same major. At that time, Chang Yuan and Su Yuanwei wanted Su Muxue to apply for a profession that was easy and not tiring. They didn¡¯t care if she was able to help the Su family in the future. It was Su Muxue who couldn¡¯t get over the fact that she couldn¡¯t compete with Tan Xinshu no matter what and insisted on applying to the same management major as her. Tan Xinshu and Yan Zhao¡¯s results were like two huge mountains pressing down on Su Muxue. She couldn¡¯t get over it. ¡°Senior Xinshu, have you eaten? Are you hungry?¡± ¡°Senior, have you had any water? I have everything prepared!¡± This time, Su Muxue¡¯s facilitator was Lin Yuan. Seeing this, Lin Yuan smiled and said, ¡°As expected, the senior is very charming. When I first came here, they weren¡¯t even as enthusiastic.¡± ¡°Not at all. You drink too, Director!¡± A mischievous student followed up. Tan Xinshu smiled politely at Lin Yuan. ¡°Sorry to trouble you.¡± This was not just a polite thing to say. The Lin family¡¯s status in Linqing City was not low either. Tan Xinshu would wake up laughing even in her dreams if she could get such good connections just by attending school. Of course, she would have been happier if there wasn¡¯t Su Muxue in the class. The first period was Lin Yuan¡¯s specialization class. He asked Tan Xinshu to find a place to sit and prepared to start class. However, to everyone¡¯s surprise, Tan Xinshu walked straight to Su Muxue¡¯s side and pointed at the empty seat. ¡°Is there anyone here?¡± Su Muxue got up and changed to the seat in front of her. She then replied in a low voice, ¡°No one.¡± She had nothing against Tan Xinshu previously, but when she spoke to Chang Yuan on the phone last night, she found out what Tan Xinshu had actually said after she passed out. If Tan Xu did not know the entire story, she would really be hated on by others! Moreover, that day, the old fraud said that Tan Xinhan had a consciousness that didn¡¯t belong to this world in her head, they indeed had to expel that consciousness. However, Su Muxue felt that she still had to think it over in the long run. At that moment, she heard a mechanical voice. ¡°Look, how dare she disrespect you! Tan Xinshu, you must kill her!¡± When the last cry disappeared, Su Muxue seemed to see the fraud flash past outside the window. ¡°Cousin Muxue, why are you treating me like this?¡± The voice in Tan Xinshu¡¯s head didn¡¯t affect her at all. She said with an aggrieved look, ¡°Grandpa already gave you a present yesterday. I just didn¡¯t accompany you for dinner yesterday, do you hate me so much already because of that?¡± Tan Xinshu pretended to wipe the corners of her eyes. ¡°Although Counselor Lin is your fianc¨¦, we only got closer when he brought me into the class. It¡¯s really not what you misunderstood.¡± ¡°What? Fianc¨¦?¡± ¡°F*ck, this is a huge piece of news!¡± ¡°No way, didn¡¯t Song Yu-er say that Su Muxue likes Yan Zhao?¡± Yan Zhao, who was mentioned, was standing at the back door. When he heard that Tan Xinshu was coming over, he wanted to see if Su Muxue had any conflict with her.. However, when he heard this hot topic, his eyes flickered and nobody could see it clearly.
