After breaking off the engagement, the little mute stopped pretending

"I'm Mu Baixue, do you still remember me?"

Zhou Zhizhi recognized the voice by ear. She was very sensitive to sounds and had a natural talent for recognizing sounds.

"Oh, I forgot you can't speak. I'll just say what I want to say."

The woman on the phone paused and said, "I saw you on the show yesterday. I was the one who posted the recording and video. Of course, I have no ill intentions. I just want to ask you for a favor."

Zhou Zhizhi didn't respond.

"You said I was lustful and close to you, so you gave me a talisman. It worked at first, and I didn't have erotic dreams for a long time, but recently I started having them again. In the dream, the man was particularly cruel. When I woke up in the morning, I felt uncomfortable all over, including..."

Mu Baixue seemed to be hesitant to speak, but from her description, it could be heard that she was in great pain.

Occasionally, her image would appear in the live broadcast room. Her face looked particularly bad, as if someone had sucked all her energy out of her.

"Can you make me another one of the talisman you gave me before? I think it may be ineffective."

Mu Baixue was worried that she would refuse, so she immediately said, "I'll buy it with my own money, any amount is fine."

"Master Zhou, please save me."

Her tone was sincere and her voice was weak, and she looked very exhausted.

Zhou Zhizhi thought of her face, which looked very much like her adoptive mother who once died to protect her, and her heart softened.

She hung up the phone and gave Mu Baixue an address: Come alone and don't let anyone know, not even your family.

Mu Baixue replied to her message excitedly: OK!

It was followed by a series of exclamation marks.

From this we can see how excited she was that Zhou Zhizhi agreed to meet her.

-

Mu Family——

Mu Baixue changed into a low-key outfit of a sweatshirt, shorts, and slippers, and wore a black hat to hold down her oily hair.

Just as I was about to go out, a woman came out of the bedroom.

The woman was dressed rather modestly, in typical housewife style, with comfort as the main focus, and had a kind face and gentle eyes.

Seeing Mu Baixue, she looked at her worriedly, "Bai Xue, do you want to go out on a date?"

Li Xixi, her stepmother, married into the Mu family after her mother left. They treated her like their own daughter, even better than their own daughter.

At first she thought Li Xixi married into the Mu family for money, but over the years she was wholeheartedly devoted to herself, the Mu family, and her father, and Mu Baixue gradually accepted her.

She also made Mu Baixue feel the warmth of a mother, so in her heart she had already regarded her as her own mother.

Naturally, I can tell her everything.

Over the years, she has encountered setbacks in her career, and it was Li Xixi who always encouraged her. She even personally organized a fan team to vote for her, boosted her popularity online, gave her good reviews, and provided marketing for her, etc.

Of course, she didn't know it at first and thought she had a die-hard fan. Later she found out that the die-hard fan was actually her stepmother.

Gradually, she was also moved by her stepmother.

She subconsciously wanted to tell Li Xixi that she had gone out to have dinner with Zhou Zhizhi, but thinking of Master Zhou's words not to tell anyone, she kept it secret.

"Mom, I'm going out to eat with my friends."

Mu Baixue respected her very much, and felt a little guilty for not trusting her.

Although I shouldn't be on guard against her, there must be a reason for what Master Zhou said.

"Come back early, be careful when you're out there alone."

Li Xixi was a little worried. "You are a big star now, and your traffic is huge. Be careful about what you say and do when you go out, and don't let the paparazzi catch you."

Seeing her expression that was completely for her, Mu Baixue felt even more guilty, "I will be careful, Mom, you don't have to worry about me."

But with Master Zhou's words in her ears, she could only feel guilty while hiding it from her.

"Could this friend of yours be Qin Hanye?"

Li Xixi is a surfing expert. She knows all of Mu Baixue's online boyfriends and even keeps choosing a few reliable ones for her from these rumored boyfriends.

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. Qin Hanye and I are just simple partners. There is no possibility between us."

Mu Baixue snorted, "Besides, Qin Hanye doesn't think highly of me at all. These are just CP fans making up stories without any basis."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

Li Xixi had an expression that said, "I know all about this," but she still analyzed the situation carefully for her. "But I've done some research for you. Among all your rumored boyfriends, Qin Hanye is the most reliable. He comes from a very wealthy family, has strong abilities, and never messes around."

"He is a self-disciplined and self-disciplined man. If you want to get married, you can consider him. When you are older and retire from the entertainment industry, your life will not be affected in any way."

Li Xixi spoke very seriously and considered everything for her.

It's really hard to find such a considerate stepmother.

"Mom, where are you thinking about?"

Mu Baixue blushed and shyly punched her mother's chest lightly, "You just know how to make fun of me."

"Little girl, you're still shy."

Li Xixi tapped her nose and said, "There's nothing to be shy about between us mother and daughter."

"Mom, it's too late. I'm going to be late."

Mu Baixue suddenly remembered the agreement she had made with Zhou Zhizhi, "I'm leaving first. If I'm late, my friend will kill me."

Master Zhou's time must be very precious and every second counts.

She couldn't fall behind and be disliked by the master.

Mu Baixue went out in a hurry.

The door closed, and the door of another bedroom opened. Mu Meimei came out, her face full of unhappiness.

"You are always more patient with her than with me, your biological daughter. Sometimes I really doubt whether I am your biological daughter."

She pouted.

Li Xixi's eyes, which had been pleasant at first, suddenly turned cold.

The mother's gentleness was restrained, "You are my biological daughter, so I am so strict with you."

She looked at her daughter and asked, "When will you understand my good intentions?"

Mu Meimei was jealous of Mu Baixue, but she was a little surprised when she heard her mother's words, "Mom, what do you mean?"

"Mu Baixue is your father's darling. If I treat her badly, would your father trust me so much? Would he be able to leave the family to me and work hard outside on his own? It is because he gave me the opportunity to be the head of the family that I can do what I want to do."

Li Xixi poked her daughter's nose and said, "You and Yuanyuan are both so naive. If I don't make plans for you and Yuanyuan, how are you going to survive in the Mu family in the future?"

"Mom, I still don't understand?"

Mu Meimei was confused. "Since you are considering me and my brother, why do you still help her and Qin Hanye? Qin Hanye is a real young master, and his family is very powerful. If my sister really marries Qin Hanye, she will always suppress me, and I will never have a chance to turn over."

Mu Meimei was well aware of how powerful the Qin family was. Moreover, the Qin family and the Cheng family of Liangcheng were old friends. The combination of the two powerful families made them invincible in Liangcheng.

If my sister married Qin Hanye, she would be oppressed for the rest of her life.

And Qin Hanye is so handsome.

An entertainment industry bus like Mu Baixue is not worthy of Qin Hanye at all. Only she is worthy of a young master like Qin Hanye.

Hearing her daughter's words, Li Xixi chuckled, "Silly child, how could she possibly marry Qin Hanye as she wished. She doesn't even have the chance to marry someone in her life, let alone marry into the Qin family."

"Okay, mom, just tell me directly."

Mu Meimei hugged her mother's arms tightly and said coquettishly, "I really don't know."

Li Xixi hooked her hand, asked her daughter to come closer to her, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Mu Meimei's expression changed from shock at first to pride in just a moment.

"No wonder she looked so bad recently. I thought she got fucked by someone out there."

Mu Meimei nodded in understanding. Her mother solved her recent doubts. "Mom is still amazing."

"If you want to survive in the Mu family, you need to learn more."

Li Xixi tapped her daughter's nose.

"But why did you help her connect with Qin Hanye?"

"The Qin family is a noble family, and I have chosen the best husband for you. Qin Ming is the eldest son of the Qin family and controls most of the Qin family's economic power, but he is insidious and vicious, and it is difficult to approach him. The second young master Qin is studying medicine abroad and has no time to think about women at all. He is like a madman."

"Qin Hanye is the only member of the Qin family we can contact. Mu Baixue knows Qin Hanye. We can get to know Qin Hanye through Mu Baixue, and Qin Hanye treats her a little differently. I have been paying attention to him since your sister entered the industry. He has helped your sister many times."

"When you are engaged to the Qin family, I will have someone destroy your sister. Since you are pure and innocent, I will let you marry in place of your sister."

Li Xixi had already thought of all the countermeasures. The Qin family wanted to save face, and their daughter was pure and innocent. Of course, the Qin family would choose to let Mu Meimei marry him.

She had planned everything.

Mu Meimei's eyes towards her mother changed, and she admired her even more.

"And when your brother comes of age, everything in the Mu family will belong to him. With your help, we will have a firm foothold in the Mu family."

Li Xixi looked towards her son's study. He was still reading very seriously, which made Li Xixi very pleased.

Speaking of her younger brother Mu Yuan, Mu Meimei felt that he had been worried a lot recently and his study condition was not very good.

"Yuanyuan's recent school performance has not been very ideal. He used to be the top student in the school. Since Cheng Sixue came to Hongxing Village, he has never been back to the top spot. The teacher's attention has gradually shifted to Cheng Sixue, and he is no longer paying attention to Yuanyuan."

"In the recent adaptive test, he ranked fifth in the city and second in the school. He was deeply shocked and his enthusiasm for learning was affected."

Mu Meimei was a little worried about her brother's academic performance, as Cheng Sixue was quite an interesting figure.

"I've also noticed that he's been very passive in his studies recently, and his grades have dropped a lot."

Li Xixi sighed, "I'll go talk to him."

She entered Mu Yuan's study. He was sitting at the table, pricking his fingers hard with the tip of a pen.

“Far away!”

She grabbed the boy's hand and threw the pen away from his hand, "What are you doing!"

"Mom, I'm fine."

When Mu Yuan saw his mother coming in, ripples appeared in his eyes, "Why didn't you knock when you came in?"

"How could you hurt yourself!"

Li Xixi was heartbroken when she saw her baby son's hands were covered with holes from pen tips. "If you have anything that's bothering you, you can tell me. I can help you share the burden. Don't hold it in!"

He is his only hope.

"Mom, I'm really fine."

Mu Yuan withdrew his hand and clenched his fist.

“Is it because you did poorly on the aptitude test?”

My son has always been a genius and has always been the focus of teachers wherever he is. However, ever since Cheng Sixue appeared in Liangcheng No. 1 Middle School, he has become depressed.

Gradually faded out of the teachers' sight and was no longer their favorite.

"Mom, I tried. I tried my best but I still couldn't catch up with her. She left me far behind. I don't even have the qualifications to compete with her."

As proud as Mu Yuan was in the past, he is as frustrated now.

He worked hard until midnight every night and got up at five or six in the morning to memorize words. He worked ten times harder than before, but still couldn't catch up.

"It doesn't matter if you didn't do well on the test. You're already great. Don't be so hard on yourself."

Li Xixi patted her son on the shoulder. His academic performance was good enough for him to go to a very good university and then return home to inherit the Mu family's business.

Her focus in educating her son was never academic.

Mu Yuan didn't want to make his mother worry, so he pretended nothing had happened.

Li Xixi took her son out for a walk to relax.

"Big sister didn't appear on the show today, why isn't she at home?" Mu Yuan didn't see Mu Baixue, "I haven't seen her for a long time, I still have some questions I want to ask her."

"She went out to have dinner with friends."

Mu Yuan has always had a good relationship with his half-sister Mu Baixue, so Li Xixi has no intention of telling Mu Yuan what she had done to Mu Baixue. It would be best if he could remain innocent and kind forever.

Her son should be a pure and spotless angel, and she should be the one doing all the evil things.

"You, you have been clinging to your elder sister since you were a child."

Li Xixi saw her daughter who was still jealous and said, "You and Meimei are siblings, you should be closer."

When Mu Yuan found out that Mu Baixue was not there, he lost all desire to go out and play. "I'd better go back and read. The college entrance examination is coming soon. I can't fall behind."

His goal is to surpass Cheng Sixue.

"Mom, my brother treats Mu Baixue much better than he treats me."

"He is still young and doesn't understand things. He will learn in the future that blood is thicker than water."

Li Xixi comforts her daughter.

She returned to the bedroom, took out a talisman and sneered.

Then it burned.

Want to resist?

From the moment Mu Baixue told her that she had obtained the Evil-Slaying Talisman, she had no chance to resist.

She has already chosen the best ghost husband for Mu Baixue, her beloved stepdaughter.

-

"Master, I'm late."

As soon as Mu Baixue sat down, Zhou Zhizhi discovered that her body was already weak.

The Yin energy has invaded her body.

Zhou Zhizhi frowned and typed on his phone: Why did you take off the talisman?

If it weren't for the fact that her face looked like her adoptive mother, she wouldn't have meddled in Mu Baixue's affairs.

Who told her not to listen?

"Ah? I didn't pick it."

Mu Baixue was puzzled and took the talisman off her body and placed it in her hand. "It's here. I never leave it."

When Zhou Zhizhi got the talisman, a hint of coldness flashed across Qinglue's eyes.

The talisman was swapped. The talisman that Mu Baixue wore was not the one she gave her, but a curse talisman that made it easier for evil spirits to invade.
