Rebirth of the Merchant Goddess

  That afternoon, Mu You and Mu Han returned home. As she had expected, Mu Cheng was still at the company dealing with work. His company was more important than anything else.

  "Xiao You, why didn't you say anything to us before going out this time? I saw that nothing in your room was touched, what did you use and eat when you went out?" Dong Qiu felt a weight lift off her chest as she saw her daughter return, but she couldn't understand why she had been feeling so worried whenever her daughter left her side recently, even hiding some heartache.

  "Mom, I'm fine! The school has arranged everything very thoroughly, all the things are ready, and I also knew it was too sudden, that's why I didn't have time to tell you." Mu Yu couldn't help but show her girly side as soon as she saw her mother, all her thoughts were thrown out of her mind, and she just snuggled into her mother's arms and acted coquettishly.

  Dong Qiu was delighted with her daughter's dependence and thoughtfulness, and affectionately stroked Mu You's head.

  "Ah, with a sister like that... it's like having a weed..." Mu Han put down the thing in her hand and snuggled into the sofa, resting her head on the armrest, gazing at the warm and intimate scene of mother and daughter in front of her, letting out a long sigh.

  "Do you really think I'm like a blade of grass?" Mu You asked with a smile, suddenly appearing in front of Mu Han after leaving Dong Qiu's arms.

  "It's not just like, it's clearly the case, a small grass that neither father nor mother loves..." Mu Han said, still blinking her eyes, with an extremely resentful gaze.

  It was a joke, but when Mu You heard it, she thought of things from her past life. At that time, they were not just unloved by their parents.

  "Then I'll turn you into a grass right now!" Mu Yu's thoughts flashed by, and when she came back to her senses, she picked up the cushion on the sofa next to her and threw it at Mu Han's head. Instantly, his hair was completely disheveled...

  "Sister, sister! You're a grown-up, is it okay if I admit my mistake? Actually, I'm a flower, a flower that's been nurtured and grown strong by others. You can't destroy the fine flowers of our country's future!"

  Mu Han dodged and yelped in pain, but the truth was that Mu Yan had only hit him on the head once when he wasn't paying attention, and all his other "attacks" had missed.

  His martial arts skills have improved significantly, Mu Yu thought to herself with a mix of relief and concern for Mu Han's secrecy. No wonder he progressed so quickly, this kid must have secretly become a disciple of Ye Sen already.

  Recalling the meaningful smile on Yoru's face when they negotiated, Muyo felt an urge to kill someone. It seemed like everyone was in cahoots with each other, hiding something from her. In the end, she was the one being protected?

  This realization makes Mu You feel both helpless and happy, with a hint of gratitude.

  Thank heaven for giving her a second chance, keeping her family safe and sound, allowing her to experience the beauty of life once again...

  However, she didn't know that while she was smiling on the side, Qiao Qing behind her was biting her teeth tightly, and the jealousy in her eyes could no longer be hidden, staring straight at this warm scene of three people.

  All of this should have been mine! You, Mu Yu, how can you stand here and live so happily? While I'm being taken back to this house by that man in hiding?

  The more she thought, the crazier Qiao Qing's eyes became, and it seemed that she was about to do something to Dong Qiu, who was closest to her. However, just as her hand was about to reach out, it suddenly withdrew, and her eyes looked up at the floor above, where Bu Qi was sitting by the railing, staring at her with a look of astonishment.

  "Hmph, found out, have you? Then you can't stay in this house anymore! Qiao Qing was initially a bit flustered, but once she thought about her position in that person's heart, she calmed down."

  Just a tenant, how can she compare to her own biological daughter? Thinking of this, Qiao Qing threw a cold and sinister glance at Bu Qi, the smile on the corner of her mouth looking extremely ferocious.

  "What are you two doing? Look at the state of this house! A warm and cozy home, now look what you've turned it into!" The sudden scolding voice cut through the warmth of the moment, causing Mu You and Mu Han's smiles to instantly fade, while Dong Qiu's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

  "Uncle Mu, you're back?" Qiao Qing's eyes lit up the moment she saw Mu Cheng return. She took a step forward and called out sweetly, seemingly wanting to grab onto Mu Cheng's arm, but halfway through, she seemed to think of something and stiffly withdrew her hand.

  Mu Cheng saw Qiao Qing like this and felt heartbroken. His palm naturally stroked Qiao Qing's hair.

  Why, why seeing this scene, there is still a faintly painful feeling in my heart? Mu You turned and went upstairs, but her eyes unconsciously reddened for an instant... then it was gone!

  Mu Han just turned and walked away, too lazy to even look back. Only Dong Qiu watched her husband's actions, a thread of unease rising in her heart.

  As an onlooker, she never gave up her rationality. Looking at Qiao Qing's venomous gaze and Dong Qiu's melancholy expression, then looking at the reactions of the two siblings from the Mu family, she could probably understand what kind of situation they were in now.

  I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for long. With a bitter thought in her heart, she quietly left the stairs, leaving only the father-daughter pair still caring for each other. At night, Mu You hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to go talk to her mother. She was still uncertain about how her mother would react if one day she and Xiao Han really fell out with Mu Cheng. Without knowing her mother's intentions beforehand, she couldn't take any rash actions.

  "Mom, it's so late, what are you doing?" Mu Yu had just opened the door when she saw her mother writing something on the desk, and was surprised in her heart, then became curious.

  Does mother still have the habit of writing a diary? Her past life, she never knew, how many unknown secrets did she miss out on in the past?

  "Xiao You, how did you get here?" Dong Qiu heard the voice and hastily gathered up the things she was writing on the table, trying to make her movements appear as normal as possible.

  Muyou didn't say anything else, just pretending she hadn't seen it. Everyone has their own secrets, and since her mother didn't want to talk about it, she wasn't willing to expose it either.

  "Mom, it's been a long time since I slept with you. Today, I want to sleep with you together, is that okay?" At night, after Mu Cheng finished dinner, he went back to the company again. Mu You took this opportunity to have a good talk with her mother.

  "Alright." Dong Qiu put the things away properly in the drawer before walking to the bedside, looking at Mu You who was already lying on the bed, and shook his head with a smile.

  "You're so big now, and you still act like a spoiled child." Dong Qiu said as she lay down on the bed too, looking at Mu You with a gentle expression.

  Yu Yu buried her head directly into Dong Qiu's arms, and a soft voice came over, "No matter how big the daughter is, she can't leave her mother's arms after all!"
