This sentence was like a depth charge dropping on Mrs. Mu's head, and her mind went blank instantly.

Mu Zhehan added with a cold face: "That person warned Xinya not to covet the position of the Mu family's young lady."

Who else but Chu Peining could do such a thing!

Madam Mu, who was already furious, became even more furious. "I didn't kick her out for the sake of the old man, but she actually caused such a big trouble! How can such a vicious woman be worthy of entering our Mu family?!"

Mu Zhehan couldn't understand why his grandfather chose an orphan as his fiancée.

No matter how much shame she brought to the Mu family outside, she refused to cancel the engagement.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a cold voice, "Mom, Chu Peining made such a big fuss this time. It's really a disgrace to our Mu family. I want to cancel my engagement with her."

"Cancel! Must cancel!" Madam Mu wanted to get rid of her immediately, "Without the protection of the Mu family, I wonder how she can survive!"

Finally, he was able to draw a clear line with Chu Peining and drive her out of the Mu family. Mu Zhehan's expression eased a little.

He ordered his servants in a deep voice, "Bring Chu Peining here immediately!"

……

Mr. Mu had made many friends during his lifetime, and many people came today, all of whom were well-known figures in Haicheng.

Chu Peining looked coldly at the scene of guests mourning in the room and sneered.

When she left the earth two hundred years ago, she left behind a remnant soul that enabled her to reincarnate normally.

It is precisely because of this that her luck is far beyond that of ordinary people.

For some reason, Mr. Mu discovered it.

It seems that he adopted her, but in fact he was secretly stealing her luck.

Mu Zhehan was born weak and prone to illness. He absorbed the luck from her body in the past few years and only then did he regain his normal physique. However, Chu Peining herself suffered from major and minor illnesses constantly.

Even though she helped others, she was still despised as a burden.

Servants kept coming in and out, but they were not busy with the old man's funeral.

Chu Peining closed her eyes, then slowly opened them, a golden light flashing between them.

She pressed her brows and sighed softly, "What a hassle."

There were a lot of people at the funeral. The girl was thin and wore only a white shirt. She had long and straight legs and walked slowly.

Even a face that was so pale that it was completely bloodless could not hide her stunning beauty. Her phoenix eyes were slightly raised, misty and cold.

He took one step at a time, attracting the attention of people around him.

She walked straight to the coffin, lit three incense sticks for the old man, and murmured:

"You brought me back to the Mu family to protect my descendants from disasters and steal my luck. Even though I do not belong to this world, it is still disrespectful. Considering your care for the past twelve years, I will not mind it and will no longer have anything to do with the Mu family."

She paused, her tone sharper.

"But you have to understand, I can take back anything you take from me!"

Chu Peining's voice was very soft and the place was very noisy, so no one heard what she said.

She raised her eyes and stared at the top of the coffin, waiting until the wisp of white smoke, which was invisible to ordinary people, dissipated before she looked away.

The Mu family members at the scene thought that Chu Peining would continue to kneel, but when they saw her burning incense for the old man, one of the girls couldn't help herself.

He came up and yelled at her: "Chu Peining, what qualifications do you have to burn incense for grandpa? Kneel down quickly!"

The Mu family is now one of the four largest families in Haicheng. It is a well-known and prestigious family, and the existence of Chu Peining is the only black spot of the Mu family.

Which of the Mu family's children is not the best in the world?

But this orphan who was picked up from somewhere is uneducated and has the delusion of marrying her brother.

Chu Peining glanced at a girl of similar age to her, and a name emerged in her mind - Mu Lingyun.

Mu Zhehan's biological sister, who is the same age as her, is a recognized goddess in the school and has a high reputation.

It is mostly due to her that Chu Peining is disliked by everyone in school.

The girl's cold eyes swept over her, her expression lazy: "To make a scene in this situation, is this your upbringing?"

Mu Lingyun obviously didn't expect her to refute. Her pretty face turned cold, and she said in disbelief: "Chu Peining, how dare you talk to me like that!"

She's just an orphan, how could she be qualified?

In the eyes of the Mu family, she is not even an adopted daughter!

She is just a poor creature hiding under the roof of the Mu family and enjoying protection. Only her grandfather treats her like a treasure and protects her everywhere.

Now that grandpa is gone, who is she?

Chu Peining's eyes turned slightly, and there seemed to be a faint light passing through them, bright and clear, as bright as stars, but like a bottomless pool, making it impossible to see through the emotions in them.

Mu Lingyun's eyes flickered, and she felt a sense of strangeness when looking at the person in front of her.

In her memory, no matter how arrogant Chu Peining was outside, she had to listen to them obediently in the Mu family and dared not complain.

He would never talk back, nor would he look her in the face like that.

Inexplicably, Mu Lingyun felt uneasy when she was looked at like this, and took two steps back.

Chu Peining didn't want to waste time, she still had things to do.

Walking out of the mourning hall, there were many guests gathered outside.

Chu Peining stood still for two seconds, walked straight to the corner, and slowly stopped in front of a man.

He was typing on his phone and didn't notice the person coming. The corners of his mouth were raised with a somewhat smug expression.

Just as I was about to hit the send button, my phone was snatched away.

The man didn't even think twice before he started to curse: "Who dares to take my phone?!"

He looked up and was stunned when he saw the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him.

Chu Peining's eyebrows were cold and her eyes looked indifferently at the edited information above.

[How is the reward this time calculated? ]

Looking up, apart from the friend verification, there is only one message from the other party on the chat interface:

[The work is done well, the Mu family has already believed it. ]

Looking at the three words "Ms. Meng" in the remarks, it is obvious who it is.

Chu Peining tapped the screen with her fingertips.

The man felt something was wrong and immediately snatched the phone back. He found that she had only sent that sentence. He looked at her warily, and then asked guiltily: "Miss Chu, is there anything wrong?"

He had never met Chu Peining, but Meng Xinya had shown him a photo of her.

"Wang You, right?" Chu Peining raised her head and glanced at him. "Do you want to go and admit it yourself, or do you want me to take you there?"

Wang You frowned, knowing what she was talking about.

His eyes fell on the girl's thin body and sickly skin, and there was a strong sense of mockery in his eyes.

"What does Miss Chu want me to admit?"

"You know it well." Chu Peining was very weak. He coughed twice and his voice was low and hoarse.

Wang You was even more disdainful of this action.

The eyes staring at Chu Peining gradually revealed greed.

This face was so beautiful that it was hard for him not to be moved.

Besides, she would soon be kicked out of the Mu family and there would be no one to protect her, so he could do whatever he wanted.

Wang You smiled obscenely, slowly approached Chu Peining, and raised his hand to touch her face.

"Clear what?"

Before he finished speaking, the girl clasped his hand expressionlessly.

Wang You's eyes flashed with surprise, but before he could react, he heard her say, "You've overstepped the line."

She raised her leg and hit the vital point directly. Wang You groaned, and the girl elbowed him from the side, causing him to fall to the ground.

Jing Yao saw this scene and silently gave up his plan of being a hero and saving the damsel in distress.
