Tian Jing felt guilty towards the original owner and wanted to use her advantage in business to suppress Yu Ningxuan. However, she did not expect that this move would cause her and Zou Rui's company to lose most of their money. It would be difficult for them to make a comeback after being injured.
Lu Tian knew how the plot would develop in the future and could avoid things that would never happen to her. The original owner was like the protagonist's prey trapped in a swamp, sinking deeper and deeper with every movement.
She put the hot milk she had taken two sips of on the table and went into the bathroom to wash up. The person in the mirror was quite different from when she first crossed over. Her every frown and smile carried the same boldness as before, but she was less insecure and cruel. Recently, she didn't even care about the little movements, and no one noticed her abnormality.
Lu Tian smiled at herself in the mirror, very satisfied with her current state.

On the third day after the collection, Tian Jing came back from a business trip. Zou's mother and the nanny were making dumplings with Lu Tian and Zou Fan. She was very surprised to see this scene, but when Zou's mother looked over, she concealed her surprise, put down her bag and took off her watch to join them in making dumplings.
"Lu Tian has become much more sensible recently. Is it because she has a boyfriend?" Zou's mother asked with a smile.
Before Lu Tian could answer, Zou Fan spoke out before her: "Yes! My brother-in-law is so good to me!"
"Baby, you can't call me brother-in-law yet!" Zou's mother corrected him, "Calling me brother-in-law so early is really cheap."
Lu Tian pursed her lips and kept smiling. Why had she naively thought that Zou's mother was easy to get along with last night? Otherwise, she should go back to school.
Tian Jing tried to smooth things over: "Xiao Meng is a really good kid. Mom, our two families are going to meet next weekend. Do you have time? Can you come along?"
Zou's mother agreed. Zou Fan made a dumpling and brought it to her. She immediately smiled and praised her grandson for his cleverness. Lu Tian couldn't cook at all, let alone such a difficult technical job as making dumplings. She made an excuse to slip away from the dining table and planned to come down later when dinner was served.
However, before she stepped onto the stairs, Tian Jing received a call and quickly called her.
"Your grandpa is in the hospital. We are going to the hospital to see him after dinner."
Could it be that Mr. Gu couldn't escape this disaster? Lu Tian hurriedly asked how the old man was feeling.
"He's still unconscious."
Lu Tian's heart sank, and she sat back on the sofa in silence. The nanny hurriedly prepared lunch, and the three of them set off for the hospital after lunch.
Mr. Gu has always been in poor health. There is even a doctor living in the Gu family to prevent him from getting sick and having an accident and not being able to rescue him in time. Under such strict regulations, it is impossible for Mr. Gu to fall ill because of the lack of time to discover his hidden illness. Could it be that he was also angry like in the original book?
In the hospital, almost all members of the Gu family were present. This was the nursing home where Grandpa Gu often lived. It had comprehensive facilities. Grandpa Gu was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. After all, father and daughter are connected by heart. Seeing the old man like this, Tian Jing couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.
"Why did Dad get sick?"
Old Madam Gu looked uneasy and said bitterly, "It's all because of that..."
She opened her mouth to curse, but she couldn't think of any curse words because she had been respectable all her life. Instead, she felt distressed when she saw Tian Jing: "Jingjing, I really didn't realize how much suffering you must have endured growing up with someone like that!"
"Mom, what did you say? Is it...she who came?"
Old Madam Gu nodded, her heart full of anger, and the rest of her eyes looking at Tian Jing and Lu Tian were also full of sympathy. They had only heard the description in the information, but they really didn't know that Old Madam Tian was such a vulgar woman who didn't care about food, threw a tantrum on the spot, and had no self-cultivation at all!
"This afternoon, Yalan's biological mother and Xuanxuan came to our house together. Xuanxuan said she came to apologize, but who knew she kept nagging for a long time in our house, asking us to compensate them for their losses. She insisted that I had taken the child away by mistake and didn't blame her at all. She asked our Gu family to compensate her for the loss of mother and daughter separation for many years, as well as the cost of raising you. Your father hated her to begin with, and after hearing this, he was so angry that he argued with her and fainted in anger..." Old Mrs. Gu regretted it deeply. If she had known that Old Mrs. Tian was so greedy, she should not have let her into the Gu family.
Tian Jing was furious when she heard this: "She admitted something herself and now she's denying it. Where is she?"
Old Mrs. Tian said with her own mouth that she replaced her biological daughter because she was afraid that she would suffer at home. How could she have the nerve to come and cry now?
