With a sharp sound, Shen Mu tore up the papers in her hand, her eyes as hard as steel.
“Don’t worry, no one can take away my things!” she declared.
Taking a deep breath, she left the study.
Thirty million!
That was the amount she needed to raise within three days to retrieve her mother’s legacy.
“Xiao Mu!” Xu Ruyun caught up with her and gently closed the door to the study.
Shen Mu turned to face her.
Xu Ruyun had lost her gentle demeanor and was now smug, saying, “Your father made it clear, didn’t he? This family is his domain!”
“That means everything in this house belongs to Qing Xue, including your mother’s legacy! You want to rise up? You’re delusional!”
Shen Mu met her gaze with a calm expression and a faint smile.
“Is that so? I’ll wait and see.”
She didn’t feel like having supper anymore, so she went straight to her room.
Faced with the emptiness before her and her indifferent family, she suddenly missed the man who always had everything arranged for her.Subconsciously, she frowned.
Huo Yunxiao hadn’t appeared all day.
Since she met this man, Huo Yunxiao had been with her every day, but today, after she hung up on his call, he never showed up again.
Perhaps it was because she couldn’t be honest with him, but how could she be honest?Tell him that she wasn’t Shen Mu, that she never belonged to Bin Hai City, that she was just a resurrected killer?
Shen Mu rubbed her face.
Her top priority now was to clean up the Shen family and find the real traitor in K Island!
On the plane to C City at the moment, Huo Yunxiao was resting with his eyes closed, listening to Han Cheng’s report beside him.”Miss Shen was born in the First Hospital of Bin Hai City, 22 years old this year, 168 cm tall, weighs 48 kilograms, blood type A.
She is a junior student majoring in directing at Bin Hai University.
The only boyfriend she has ever had is Lu Xize…”
“I don’t want to know about her love life,” Huo Yunxiao frowned.
Han Cheng turned the page quietly and continued his report, “Miss Shen owns a brokerage company called Xingyu, which was left to her as a dowry by her deceased mother. However, there have been rumors in the industry recently that Shen Lishan wants to sell the company to help the Shen family through the economic crisis.”
Huo Yunxiao turned his head and looked at the blue sky outside the window, thinking of the cold girl who hung up on him.
She was probably the only girl in his life who dared to do that to him.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t do anything to her because, according to the information Han Cheng found, Shen Mu was basically penniless and even her childhood sweetheart was taken away by her younger sister.
“Buy it,” Huo Yunxiao said.
Han Cheng was taken aback, “Xingyu? Buy it? Sir, the company is in a very poor financial state. The few contracted artists they have are all small-time celebrities in the fourth or fifth tier, and they still owe some external debts. It has no investment value.”
Huo Yunxiao glanced at him, “You talk too much. I told you to buy it.”In an instant, Hancheng understood the meaning behind their CEO’s words.
A small company like theirs was not worth the attention of Huo Yunxiao, it was all for Shen Mu! New chapters come out on g.com first.
He coughed awkwardly, feeling like he had stumbled upon some gossip.
“CEO, after you buy the company, will it be named after you or Miss Shen?” he asked.
Huo Yunxiao looked at Hancheng and asked, “Huo Corporation plans to open a mine in Africa. Do you want to be the supervisor?”
Hancheng immediately shook his head and said, “I’ll go buy it now!”
Two days later, it was finally Shen Qingxue’s birthday.
The Shen family had always doted on their youngest daughter, and this year, being a multiple of 20, her birthday celebration was grand.
She had even ordered three custom-made dresses for the occasion.
The celebration was held at a hotel under the Lu family’s banner, with the entire banquet hall reserved, showing Lu Xize’s deep affection for Shen Qingxue.
In Xu Ruyun’s room, Shen Qingxue tried on the jewelry her mother had prepared for her one by one.
Looking at her pure and beautiful reflection in the mirror, she smiled and said, “Mom, Xize has agreed. This birthday celebration, he will publicly announce that I am his fiancée!”
Xu Ruyun nodded in satisfaction and said, “Don’t worry, I’ve prepared everything on my end. This birthday celebration is not only to secure your position as the future Mrs. Lu, but also to make Shen Mu a laughingstock!” Those things were enough to ruin her reputation!
Shen Qingxue felt a sense of satisfaction just thinking about how pitiful Shen Mu would look at the time.
From childhood to adulthood, in her eyes, Shen Mu was not even as good as a dog.
At first, she didn’t think it was a big deal to give Shen Mu a meal, but when Shen Mu dared to challenge her, she simply kicked her out!
Let’s see how arrogant she can be!
In the evening, Shen Mu casually changed into a dress and covered the scars on her face, then went to the corner of the hotel banquet hall and sat down.
Today, Shen Qingxue was the protagonist, and she just wanted to watch the show quietly.
Shen Qingxue accompanied Xu Ruyun to greet the guests at the door, like a queen and princess of the nobility, accepting everyone’s compliments.
“Miss Shen is so beautiful! Mrs. Shen is so lucky!”
“Mrs. Shen has maintained herself so well, how could she look like the mother of such a beautiful daughter?”
“If it weren’t for Mrs. Shen’s beauty, how could she have such a beautiful daughter?”
“Qingxue is already beautiful enough, who would have thought that Shen Tai Tai’s eldest daughter, Qingrou, is still a popular female star in the entertainment industry!”
The compliments were endless, but Shen Qingxue suddenly shouted, “Sister, come over here!”
This sentence drew everyone’s attention to Shen Mu.
Shen Qingxue walked over directly, raised her hand to tuck Shen Mu’s long hair covering her face, and whispered, “Sister, let me help you cover it up, don’t be shy…”
This so-called cover-up actually exposed the scar on Shen Mu’s face to many noble ladies, who couldn’t help but exclaim, “Who is this…this person?”
Xu Ruyun smiled gracefully, “This is our eldest daughter, please forgive her for any inconvenience caused.” This chapter was copied from g.com without permission.
The guests all smiled in understanding, but none of them looked at Shen Mu.
After all, the scar on his face was quite frightening.
Shen Qingxue took Shen Mu’s arm and smiled, saying, “Shen Mu, do you understand your place now? You’re really ugly!”
Shen Mu pulled his arm away and laughed, saying, “Shen Qingxue, if you continue to act recklessly, I don’t mind sending you on your way.”
Despite being mocked to this extent, Shen Mu remained calm and turned to sit in the corner with a nonchalant expression.
Shen Qingxue gritted her teeth.
She didn’t believe it!
When Shen Mu saw her private photos later, would she still be so calm?
The banquet officially began, with Shen Qingxue and Lu Xize leading the dance.
The handsome men and beautiful women glided into the dance floor, dancing as if in a fairy tale.However, Shen Mu had already controlled the little heart in her body.
She had used her name and body, so she had to take care of her heart and not let it ache too easily.
“Miss Shen.” A familiar voice sounded above her head, and Shen Mu looked up to see that it was Ou Jin!
Shen Mu nodded slightly.
“Dr. Ou, please sit.”
Ou Jin sat next to her with a glass of wine and said, “She provoked you like that, and you just endured it?”
Shen Mu smiled.
“I didn’t endure it. Should I have killed her in public?”
Ou Jin raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice.
“Didn’t you kill Zhang’s hunting dog with your bare hands?”
Shen Mu was only stunned for a moment before reacting.
“Dr. Ou, my ability to protect myself is not the reason for your suspicion.”
She trusted and died on the battlefield, and now that she had been reborn, she would never again bear the suspicion in their eyes.
She picked up her own glass of lemon juice and left her seat.
Eu Jin’s companion walked over, twisted her waist and nestled into his arms, coquettishly saying, “Eu, you’re not interested in Shen’s family again, are you? She was dumped by the Lu family, it doesn’t sound good if people find out!”
Eu Jin was taken aback, “Dumped?
What do you mean dumped?”The companion adjusted her hair and gestured towards Shen Qingxue, “Look, Shen Qingxue is Lu Xize’s sweetheart, everyone in the circle knows it.
They say he’s going to propose tonight!
The disfigured young lady from the Shen family cried a lot tonight!”
