Chapter 42 Good Times Does Not Last

Mu Xia knew the reason—Situ Qingshan was afraid that she would accuse her of stealing the business card.

Situ Hai glanced at Situ Qingshan's barely-touched breakfast and asked Mu Xinyue, "Where is she rushing to so early in the morning?"

Mu Xinyue replied with a grin, "Do you know Song Qingming, the movie director?"

Situ Hai nodded. "Of course."

She continued, "Mr. Song's choosing the cast for his new show today. Shanshan received a chance to do the audition."

Although Situ Qingshan told everyone else that Director Song had given the role to her, all she got, in reality, was merely an audition spot. Furthermore, she only got the opportunity due to Mu Xinyue's bribery.

However, Situ Hai did not know that. He exclaimed happily, "That's great! As their father, I'm so proud of my two talented daughters. Let's go out for a meal tonight. I've never properly welcomed Shan Shan after she returned."

When Mu Xinyue heard Mu Xia's nickname, she felt slightly unhappy.

The reason why she gave Situ Qingshan her name was because Mu Xia's nickname was Shan Shan. She wanted to come up with a name that sounded similar.

Her intention was to steal everything away from Wanyue, her sister. However, it sounded exceptionally unpleasant now.

Forcing out a smile, she said, "Sure! Qingshan also said that she's quite confident in securing the role. It's a great day today. Let's go out as a family and have a sumptuous meal together!"

"Of course." Situ Hai beckoned Mu Xia over. "Shan Shan, finish your breakfast quickly. We need to leave soon."

"Okay, Dad." Glancing in Situ Qingshan's direction, Mu Xia could already guess why she said that she was confident in securing the role.

She had heard of Song Qingming's reputation before. As his movies all featured magnificent scenes, they required extremely good acting skills.

Even if Situ Qingshan managed to get the opportunity, it all depended on whether she was capable enough to grasp it well.

Mu Xia averted her gaze nonchalantly, sat down and ate her breakfast quietly.

When Mu Xinyue raised her head subconsciously, she saw the warm morning sunlight shine on Mu Xia's face. A faint golden glow enveloped her face, making her look as beautiful as an angel.

Her side-profile resembled that of the deceased Mu Wanyue.

Mu Xinyue could not help but tighten her grip on her spoon.

The person she had instructed to investigate her would report back to her today. 「Soon, I'll find out this bitch's true colors. Just you wait! Your good days won't last any longer.」

After suffering for two hours, Mu Xia finally walked out of the changing room.

She wore a tailored gown that had a slit up to the middle of her thighs, revealing her beautiful legs.

Her hair was tied up in a bun, making her look as exquisite as a doll. No one could tear their gazes away from her.

Mu Xia could tell that Situ Hai had spent a lot of money on her. Her gown alone already cost a lot, let alone the handcrafted shoes that she was wearing.

The moment she walked out of the changing room, the foreign stylist immediately gasp and clapped. "This is simply perfect and unbelievable!"

Even Situ Hai was stunned when he saw Mu Xia. He could see a shadow of his deceased wife on her.

In the past, he had loved Mu Wanyue deeply. However, as time passed, he grew to hate her. She was simply too talented and intelligent, so much so that she stole the limelight away from him. Every time he saw Mu Wanyue, he would be reminded of the fact that he was the Mu's family live-in son-in-law.

「Would Xia become someone like Wanyue in the future?」

Situ Hai clenched his fists tightly, forcing himself to stop thinking about that.

He walked toward Mu Xia and said with a smile, "This look fits you so well. You should wear gowns more often in the future."
