The Mu Family Villa.

When Mu Qian returned, she went upstairs to take a shower first.

After taking a shower, she saw Gu Mei holding a hairdryer. "Xiao Qian, over here."

Mu Qian walked over.

Gu Mei naturally took the hairdryer and dried Mu Qian's wet hair.

In no time, I dried my hair.

"Thank you, Mom." Mu Qian happily took Gu Mei's hand and rested her head on her shoulder.

"How are you adjusting to school today?" Gu Mei asked casually.

"Um."

Mu Qian smiled and said, "Xuanzi is back. We've become alumni and can take the college entrance exam together."

"Silly girl."

Gu Mei felt a surge of joy and was happy for Mu Qian.

She can be reborn and watch her daughter grow up again.

This was something she never dared to dream of in her past life.

Mu Qian never dared to think about such a thing.

if……

Knowing that her mother could be resurrected in this way, she wouldn't have refused Fu Liangping's suggestion to experiment with transmigrating into the book.

The mother and daughter were having a great chat.

Gu Mei suddenly remembered something, "Xiao Qian, I heard you've participated in a new program?"

"Primitive people surviving on a deserted island?"

The news that Mu Qian would be a guest on the show "Survival on a Desert Island" has been circulating for a long time.

It's normal to know.

But this name sounds like a show about enduring hardship.

In Gu Mei's heart, she actually hoped that Mu Qian would just give up and not have to make any effort.

In her previous life, Xiao Qian was sent to Base Nine when she was very young.

At that time, she also felt that Xiaoqian belonged to Base Nine.

Xiaoqian went to Base Nine and had to participate in various training sessions and classes every day.

They don't experience the joy of a typical childhood.

Now reborn, Gu Mei has long seen through everything.

All she wanted was for her daughter to be happy and carefree.

"Will this show... be very demanding?"

Gu Mei couldn't help but worry, "Did Long Jingyan arrange this for you? Did he force you to go on the show?"

"Xiaoqian, if this is not something you want to go to, you can refuse."

"Don't worry, Mom can take care of everything for you."

"No, no," Mu Qian said with a smile, "It wasn't Long Jingyan who helped me get the job; I accepted the program myself."

"I think survival on a desert island is pretty fun; you can have fun and make money at the same time."

"That's great."

Seeing that Mu Qian didn't seem to be forced at all, Gu Mei still hesitated and asked, "Really?"

"Yes, really."

"I'm afraid this show will be too tiring," Gu Mei said, still worried.

Appearing on TV shows is exhausting; it's either physically demanding or mentally taxing, and neither of them is easy.

In her opinion, it would be better for Xiaoqian to stay at home and relax.

Mu Qian patted her chest and said, "Who am I? I am your daughter, Gu Mei. I am a hardworking and resilient person."

"I'm still Xiaoyao's older sister, so I have to set a good example."

"Mom, don't worry, I'll only be gone for a week."

“I went to record the show, and Xiao Yao, who was abroad, could also see it. Seeing how amazing his sister is will definitely give him more courage to undergo treatment.”

"I think it's great."

Mu Yao: I really appreciate it that you even used being abroad as an excuse.

Mu Qian: You two are like siblings, don't be so polite.

Mu Yao: ...

After being persuaded by Mu Qian, Gu Mei couldn't say anything more and accepted.

He patiently and earnestly advised the participants to be careful while filming the show and to quit if it became too strenuous.

Mu Qian agreed to all of them.

Gu Meicai felt relieved and invited them to go downstairs for dinner.

"Miss."

The servants in the house greeted him one after another.

In the past, the servants in the house were only friendly to Mu Silian.

Even if Mu Qian is the real heiress of this family, she can't compare to Mu Silian, who has been raising her for 16 years and usurping her place.

Gu Mei's attitude is now very clear: apart from Mu Qian, there are no other young ladies in this family.

The servants' attitudes naturally changed as a result.

"Um."

Mu Qian is very approachable and often more so than Mu Silian.

She doesn't mind fiercely retaliating if someone wants to be her enemy or challenge her.

"Mom, Qianqian, you're finally down."

Mu Silian's voice came through, feigning intimacy.

When Gu Mei saw Mu Silian appear in the living room, the gentle look on her face immediately turned cold.

"Who let unrelated people in?"

The disgruntled tone startled Chen Ma, who had served this household for many years, so much so that she collapsed to her knees.

"Madam, yes, it's me."

"Miss came back as usual, so I..."

Gu Mei's cold gaze fell on Chen Ma. "Didn't I say that there is only one Miss Mu, and that person is Xiao Qian?"

Chen Ma's face immediately turned pale.

Mu Silian was only brought back to live with us last week.

Moreover, President Mu's father-daughter relationship with Mu Silian remains as good as ever.

Chen Ma believed that pleasing Mu Silian was the right thing to do.

Therefore, he did not take Gu Mei's words to heart.

"Settle your wages and leave the Mu family." Gu Mei withdrew her cold gaze.

She no longer has that gentle demeanor she once had.

Chen Ma pleaded tearfully, "Madam, I know I was wrong, please don't send me away."

"I have elderly parents to support and young children to raise, and I rely entirely on this salary to make a living."

The servants working for the Mu family were paid quite well.

Especially for elderly people like Chen Ma, who have worked for the Mu family for more than ten years.

The Mu family never mistreats anyone.

They have five social insurances and one housing fund, weekends off, an annual overseas trip, and a salary increase every year.

These job benefits are much better than those of many white-collar workers.

Chen Ma naturally wanted to try again.

It's a pity that she has been currying favor with Mu Silian for so many years, thinking she has mastered the Mu family's social network.

Ever since Mu Qian was brought back to the Mu family, she has been secretly instructed by Mu Silian to bully her quite a bit.

Gu Mei only recently saw it clearly!

I originally thought it was all in the past.

Unexpectedly, some people just can't judge people properly, and they can't even see the big picture!

Gu Mei remained cold and gestured to the housekeeper to deal with Chen Ma.

Seeing this, Mu Silian said pitifully, "Mom, Aunt Chen has watched me grow up since I was little, she doesn't have any bad intentions."

"I don't know what I did wrong, or what misunderstanding my mother has about me."

"If coming back makes you this unhappy, I'll just leave."

His submissive and humble demeanor evoked sympathy from anyone who saw it.

"Then you should leave." Gu Mei showed no mercy. "Leave with Aunt Chen."

Mu Silian never expected that Gu Mei would be so disregardful of their past mother-daughter relationship.

Should we just tell her to leave in front of all the servants?

His hands, hanging down, clenched slightly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Mu Yuancheng, who had come out of the study and was about to retreat back into it, intending not to get involved.

"Dad, can you help me coax Mom?" Mu Silian asked hurriedly.

Damn it, they actually want to distance themselves from it?

Ha, not a chance!

Before Mu Yuancheng could even step back, he was forced to walk towards Gu Mei and the others.

Mu Qian raised her eyes, a wicked smile playing on her lips.

Mu Silian relies on her scumbag father for support in everything she does, probably because she also knows about his infidelity.

Only by having leverage over someone can you easily manipulate your scumbag father.

Oh!

Suddenly, I really want to see Mu Silian and Mu Yuancheng fighting like dogs.

It's going to be really exciting!

Unfortunately, in order to maintain her mother's happiness, she couldn't bring this matter to the forefront for the time being.

but!

Those who love to watch the drama unfold, lighting a small torch, is that alright?

“Meimei, look, Xiaoqian has only been back for a few days.”

Mu Yuancheng glanced guiltily at Mu Qian, then moved closer to Gu Mei and lowered his voice, "We should let Xiao Qian feel the warmth of family, instead of always making such a fuss."

Gu Mei, who was covered in thorns, gradually softened her thorns after hearing the words "family warmth" and glancing at Mu Qian.

Although the scumbag is not a good person, Xiaoqian doesn't know that he is a scumbag.

What Xiaoqian lacks most is the warmth of a family.

In her previous life, she was cheated on by a scumbag boyfriend who gave birth to an illegitimate daughter named Murong.

After she dies, the scumbag will definitely be eager to bring his illegitimate daughter and mistress home.

Without her protection, Xiaoqian would not have had the warmth of a family and must have suffered a lot of grievances.

Xiaoqian must want the warmth of a family the most.

"This matter..."

Gu Mei wanted to give up.

Mu Silian also knew that as long as Mu Yuancheng spoke up, things would take a turn for the better.

“We definitely can’t let this matter with Aunt Chen go like this,” Mu Qian said first.

"Xiao Qian?" Gu Mei asked in surprise.

Mu Qian looked aggrieved. "Mom, I've never dared to tell you and Dad."

“Before, Aunt Chen would add a lot of salt to my soup, which made me get up in the middle of the night every day to drink water because I was thirsty.”

"I had told her before that I couldn't eat parsley because it would cause red spots, but she still added parsley to my food every time."

I didn't originally intend to pursue this little trick.

If Mu Silian insists on making her presence felt, then let's make it happen together.

Chen's mother panicked.

She never expected that Mu Qian, who was usually quiet and timid, would actually learn to tattle.

“I didn’t, you’re lying,” Chen Ma immediately denied.

“How could my daughter talk nonsense?” Gu Mei’s face turned cold again. “You vicious woman.”

"If you dare to do something bad to Xiaoqian, I will hold you accountable."

When Chen Ma met Gu Mei's eyes, which seemed to want to stab her, she turned pale with fright.

"Madam, Miss Silian made me do all this. It wasn't my idea. I'm just a servant, and I had no choice."

"Please don't hold me responsible. I was wrong, I was really wrong."
