When Gu Qingqing came out, she only saw the delivery truck, but not the delivery person. The sun was scorching at noon, and only one person was walking slowly on the road. His steps were slow, as if he was suffering from heatstroke. When he was about three or four meters away from her, he suddenly collapsed.
The wind was light, and the road was quiet. The person lying on the ground didn't move, and Gu Qingqing didn't move either. About three minutes passed.
Gu Qingqing kicked off her slippers, placed her tender white feet on the ground, and quickly withdrew them. The ground was too hot.
Her gaze fell on the person again. The delivery guy rushed out from next door. "Sorry for keeping you waiting! Are you Mrs. Tang? Please sign here!"
After receiving the receipt, the delivery guy handed the package to Gu Qingqing. Only then did he notice someone lying on the side of the road.
"How long has he been lying there?"
Gu Qingqing: "Four and a half minutes."
The delivery guy frowned. "You watched him lie there for four and a half minutes and didn't even help him up?"
The little girl looked pretty, but why was she so heartless?
Gu Qingqing replied, "I'm afraid he's a fraudster."
Delivery guy: ...
"Miss, there are still many good people in this world!"
The delivery guy packed up and was about to help the person, but Gu Qingqing picked up the package and turned back to the house.
The delivery guy couldn't help but look at her again, sighed, and thought to himself how cold and indifferent the world had become!
Just as his was about to reach out and offer help, the man, who was preciously motionless, suddenly stood up and left.
Delivery guy: ...
This guy was definitely a fraudster!
"I say, bro, doing this will make kids doubt life!"
Undoubtedly, this person must have seen the innocent little girl and thought she was easy to deceive, intentionally lying here!
The fraudster apparently had no intention to stop to listen to his words, the delivery guy's sense of public duty was aroused. "Shameless! Don't let me catch you again next time, or I'll beat you every time I see you!"
The delivery guy drove away on his three-wheeler, disappearing into the heat haze.
Bai Mu saw the person coming back and quickly opened the car door.
Pei Sichen got in, took off the wig and clothes used for disguise, and within a few minutes, his clothes were almost soaked with sweat.
The man was covered in sweat, his damp hair clinging to his broad and full forehead, breaking his usual aura of aloofness and restraint, and adding a hint of casualness and sexiness.
Bai Mu carefully observed and noticed that his Master Pei wasn't angry, so he dared to speak.
"Master Pei, I've checked Gu Qingqing's information. She is not a good person."
Pei Sichen twisted open a bottle of mineral water and drank half of it in one gulp.
Bai Mu continued, "She came out of the orphanage and was fostered by four different families. In the first family, she cracked the son's skull just because he said she was pretty. In the second family, when the male host touched her waist, she chopped off his hand and fed it to the dog. When they found it, the dog had bitten off one of his fingers, and the hospital didn't dare to stitch it up for fear of rabies infection. In the third family, a jealous sister splashed sulfuric acid on her, but she retaliated and ruined the sister's face with a knife."
"From this, we can see that she has no compassion! Just now, I saw it very clearly. She saw you lying on the ground and didn't help you up, even after trying the heat with her foot!"
Bai Mu felt indignant!
Pei Sichen, who had finished drinking a bottle of water, wiped his forehead with a towel. Finally, he glanced at the villa. "Let's go back."
Bai Mu swallowed his anger. He thought his Master Pei wouldn't mention this matter again, but as the car left the neighborhood, he suddenly heard him ask from behind, "Do you think it was my posture when I fell that made her mistake me for a fraudster?"
Bai Mu: ...
Gu Qingqing had a very sensitive sense of smell, so much so that she could discern someone's identity by the unique scent emanating from them. As for the package in her hands, even through the packaging, she knew it contained textiles containing golden spider silk.
The last time she saw clothing made of golden spider silk was years ago, in a museum collection, valued at two hundred and sixty thousand for a cape. Perhaps her new mom didn't have the design skills of Master Tang, but the fabric she used was no less expensive than Master Tang's.
Gu Qingqing took the package to Tang Wei's workshop. Tang Wei eagerly opened it to find two pieces of fabric, one yellow and one light pink.
"For the pink one, we'll make a dress, and for the yellow one, a belt. How does that sound, Gu Qingqing?"
From the way Tang Wei holding the fabric, one may thought she bought it off the street.
Gu Qingqing simply said, "Okay."
On Monday, it was back to school as usual. Tang Wei dressed her new daughter beautifully and sent her out the door, satisfaction evident in every detail.
"Yuyang, Qingqing, you are siblings now, so be good to each other!"
Her gaze fell on Gu Qingqing's schoolbag, and Mu Yuyang gritted his teeth, picking up Gu Qingqing's small backpack and leading the way out.
A person personally came to pick them up – Mu Jishan. His face was even more radiant today, a few degrees warmer than yesterday.
Mu Jishan escorted Gu Qingqing and Mu Yuyang to the school gate. Today, he drove a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. This could be considered a top-tier luxury car series. Its appearance naturally attracted many curious looks.
Ye Qingcheng had just gotten out of the car when she saw it, feeling like she had swallowed a thorn, unable to swallow it down or spit it out.
"Qingqing, I've already talked to the principal. They'll transfer you to Class One. The learning atmosphere there is much better than Class Three. Just go and report. Uncle still has an important project to discuss, so I can't accompany you."
Gu Qingqing nodded, showing no emotion on her face.
Mu Jishan was in a good mood and didn't bother with her. He turned the car around and left.
"Xueqing, is that your dad?"
As soon as Mu Xueqing got out of the car, Su Wan grabbed her.
"Why did he sent Gu Qingqing and Mu Yuyang to school instead of you? Why is Gu Qingqing with them?"
The students around them were all puzzled.
Mu Xueqing glanced at them. "Qingqing was kicked out of the Ye family, and my uncle's family took pity on her and adopted her. To let her stay in the No. 1 High School, my dad donated a building with the money for my next quarter's clothes and jewelry to the school."
"What? She's your uncle's adopted daughter. Why should your family donate money, and even the money meant for you?"
"Why is she so shameless?"
"Disgraceful..."
Mu Xueqing remained calm, brushing away the wind-blown hair from her face, beautiful and pure, a true high school beauty queen.
"We're all family; don't talk about her like that. It's only right for our family to take care of my uncle's family."
"But she even cheated and stole the first place in the last monthly test from you. Why are you helping her like this?"
Mu Xueqing pursed her lips. "People from small places are inevitably a bit flawed. Let's be a little more tolerant and give her a chance to start over."
Among the bystanders, some had thought that Mu family dared to adopt Gu Qingqing because they believed in her character. They hadn't expected it to be like this.
"Xueqing, you are really too kind! Your family is all angels!"
