Ning Zitong’s affirmation made the smile on Mu Qianshui’s face grow even wider.
"Qianshui, I’m coming over to see you now!"
"Alright."
Mu Qianshui agreed readily and hung up the phone.
She stood in front of the mirror and changed into a dress she would never have worn before.
The straightened long hair was styled to replicate Yan Xinxin’s, even dyed back to black just like hers.
"Chuxi, no matter how smart or sharp-eyed you are, there are bound to be tis when you misjudge."
Mu Qianshui touched her face gently.
"Isn’t it Yan Xinxin’s face that you like? Well, now I have it too..."
She indulged in her imagination, a smile of anticipation rising at the corners of her lips.
Yes, she was certain she could use this face to seduce Mo Chuxi. She was sure of it!
"Ding-dong!"
The doorbell rang lodiously.
Mu Qianshui retracted her thoughts, turned around, and walked to the door. Glancing through the peephole, Ning Zitong’s anxious face appeared in her line of sight.
She curved her lips into a smile, quickly adjusted her expression to look concerned, and then opened the door.
"Qianshui!"
The mont the door opened, Ning Zitong rushed in excitedly.
"Mom, does Dad or my eldest brother know about this?"
"I won’t tell them. Shaoqian has deep misunderstandings about you, and I don’t even know what Ah Jing is thinking anymore. As for Yuan, I don’t want to ntion her to them at all right now!"
Hearing Ning Zitong’s response, Mu Qianshui nodded in satisfaction.
"Mom, co in quickly. Don’t get too worked up. Be careful with your health."
"I’ll be mindful of my health, don’t worry."
"Mm."
Mu Qianshui replied obediently and quickly poured a cup of water for Ning Zitong.
Looking at Mu Qianshui’s current face, Ning Zitong unexpectedly felt a pang of sorrow.
"Qianshui, you silly child, why do you even bother? Your sister will return to the Mu family eventually. When that ti cos, what will you do with this appearance..."
"If Mom doesn’t like it, I can have it redone."
"No, no, no."
Ning Zitong stopped her.
"Mom doesn’t want to see you suffer anymore."
As she spoke, she took out her phone, opened up a text ssage, and showed it to Mu Qianshui.
"Qianshui, look. I can be certain this is really a ssage from your sister. When she was five, she broke my favorite vase. Afraid that I’d be upset, she tried to hide it and glue it back together before putting it back. Only she and I know about this incident! The person who sent this ssage has to be your sister!"
"But look at what your sister said. She said she’d never return to our Mu family no matter what! She said she doesn’t have the courage to co back—why?"
After hearing Ning Zitong’s sorrowful complaints, Mu Qianshui feigned a long, dramatic sigh.
"I think I understand Sister’s feelings."
She spoke with a trace of sorrow in her eyes.
"The boy she admired and revered the most has already married another woman. I can relate to that pain more than anyone."
Hearing Mu Qianshui’s words, Ning Zitong seed to have an epiphany!
"Qianshui, are you saying Yuan won’t co back because of Yan Xinxin?"
"What other reason could there be?"
Mu Qianshui affird decisively.
Anger had already begun to shadow Ning Zitong’s face.
"Yan Xinxin..."
Watching the rage burn in Ning Zitong’s eyes, Mu Qianshui smiled triumphantly.
"Mom, I feel the sa way as you. I want Sister to co ho. I believe there’s only one way to make her return now."
Ning Zitong’s eyes lit up with hope.
"Qianshui, what’s your plan?"
"I’m not entirely sure if I should go through with this, but I know that only if Yan Xinxin divorces Chuxi—if that woman leaves this city—can Sister co back..."
After sending Ning Zitong away, who had fallen cluelessly into her web of traps, Mu Qianshui laughed heartily as she lay back on her bed.
But just as she picked up her phone, a sudden explosive ssage popped up at the top of her screen, causing her face to almost crack entirely!
