After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder
Chapter 2 Brother Qu Qingzhu
The airport was bustling with people. Qu Qingdai stood there quietly, looking around, and was dazed for a moment.
She, Qu Qingdai, had finally returned to China! In stark contrast to her past life, she had returned with great success. Now, she was the renowned painter Grace, not the ordinary, statusless woman of her previous life. She no longer had to serve as a foil to Jiang Baizhi, nor did she need to be her bridesmaid. All her paintings would eventually become Jiang Baizhi's creations.
Thinking back to her past life, she couldn't understand why Jiang Baizhi knew she could paint, even though she had been studying hard at the time and hadn't published any works. It was also strange that the paintings she had kept in the orphanage where she and her brother grew up would appear in Jiang Baizhi's studio. Even more infuriating was that Jiang Baizhi claimed on a variety show that those paintings were hers, thus earning her the reputation of a painting genius.
Qu Qingdai always had an inexplicable feeling about Jiang Baizhi, thinking she was very strange. Jiang Baizhi always seemed to know many secrets clearly, and could also cleverly avoid all kinds of disasters. No matter what she did, it seemed to be smooth sailing, as if she had a God's perspective.
However, in this life, she is no longer in a passive situation. After her rebirth, she has taken back the works she left at the orphanage and successfully published them abroad, becoming a well-recognized artist. However, this identity was only known abroad, and she used her English name, so she is little known in China.
She knew the Jiang family probably didn't know either, otherwise they wouldn't have found her a month later and only wanted to take her back after something happened. She chose to return not for those so-called family members, but to witness the Jiang family's downfall because of their adopted daughter.
"Let's go, sister. I'll take you to eat something delicious." Qu Qingzhu, who had been waiting patiently at the airport, stretched out his hand and waved it gently in front of Qu Qingdai.
"Okay, brother." Qu Qingdai came back to her senses, brushed her long, shiny black hair, and looked at her brother with a smile.
Qu Qingzhu, the brother who grew up with Qu Qingdai in an orphanage in a previous life, depended on each other. In those days, he began working various part-time jobs early on to ensure a good life for Qu Qingdai. Later, due to the constant overwork, he became ill. Desperate not to become a burden to his sister, after Qu Qingdai was adopted into a wealthy family, he made some decisive remarks, attempting to keep her away from him, after all, he no longer had the ability to protect her. He had expected his sister to be pampered and cherished upon her return home, but he never expected Qu Qingdai to be so hurt that she was forced to leave her hometown and go abroad.
Qu Qingzhu once fought for his sister, begged Jiang Baizhi to let her go, and even begged the Jiang family to let her go, hoping only for her to return. However, in the end, he was ruthlessly kicked out of the Jiang family on a rainy night and tragically hit by a speeding car. Ultimately, he was unsuccessful in saving his life.
When Qu Qingdai heard the tragic news while abroad, she was heartbroken and cried, wanting to return home to see her brother off for the last time, but was ruthlessly rejected. It was a pain that will never be erased from her heart, and a regret she will never forget.
To avoid a recurrence of the tragic past life, Qu Qingdai, after her rebirth, repeatedly emphasized the importance of good health to her brother, Qu Qingzhu, and encouraged him to reduce his part-time work. Leveraging her deep memory and understanding of her past life, she successfully helped both her brother and herself complete their studies. Her brother, in turn, worked tirelessly, and now, behind the scenes at Night Whisper, the largest bar in Hai City, is Qu Qingzhu. Throughout this journey, Qu Qingdai dedicated countless hours to her brother, constantly supporting and encouraging him, helping him overcome numerous challenges. Qu Qingzhu, in turn, lived up to her sister's expectations, achieving remarkable success in the business world through his wisdom and perseverance, becoming a remarkable figure.

Haishi Villa District? Shengde Manor
In the living room, soft light shone on the brother and sister.
Qu Qingzhu smiled as she looked at her sister who she had reunited with after a long absence. Her eyes were filled with joy and love. "Our Dai Dai is getting more and more beautiful. It's really a good thing for Su Jingmo."
Qu Qingdai sat next to Qu Qingzhu and said softly, "Brother, he's been very good to me. Meeting him is a blessing for me. Don't talk about him like that!"
"Alas, a daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Look, I haven't said anything yet, but you're already protecting her."
"No, brother, please don't say that."
"Hmm, why didn't that guy come back with me? Doesn't he like me?" Qu Qingzhu continued to speak, expressing his dissatisfaction with the man who took his sister away.
"No, A-Mo said he will be back after finishing the arrangements in the United States. Then he will shift the focus of his work to China. We can stay with you in China all the time. Are you happy? My brother who is resentful in the boudoir~" Qu Qingdai said with a smile and fell on the sofa.
"You little bastard, you have no respect for your elders. Who can spoil you?"
"Of course it's my brother and A-Mo~"
Qu Qingzhu shook his head, looked at Qu Qingdai lovingly, stroked her hair gently, and looked at his sister lying on the sofa, full of happiness. When he was in the orphanage, he never thought that there would be such a day. All this was brought by his sister, and he would fight to protect it all.
The brother and sister laughed and played as if they had never been apart, and the whole room was filled with an atmosphere of warmth and affection.
Suddenly, a rapid phone ring broke the silence. Qu Qingdai saw the caller ID, frowned, and reluctantly picked up the phone.
"Okay, I got it. I'll be there on time." Qu Qingdai's expression gradually turned from sunny to gloomy, her pretty eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and a hint of impatience was revealed in her eyes.
Qu Qingzhu noticed the change in Qu Qingdai, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He stared at her solemnly, asking with his eyes what had happened.
As the conversation on the other end of the phone ended, Qu Qingdai slowly put down the phone. She looked up and saw her brother's solemn face. She smiled at him and said, "It's okay, brother. The Jiang family is urging me to go back and recognize my relatives. The recognition banquet is in three days, and they are urging me now. I can't wait at all."
Qu Qingzhu looked at Qu Qingdai carefully from head to toe. Seeing that she was really fine, he talked about business: "Daidai, do you really want to go back to recognize your relatives? I can also raise you. I heard that the Jiang family dotes on their adopted daughter. Will they value you when you go back?"
In this life, Qu Qingzhu is now successful in his career due to the butterfly effect caused by Qu Qingdai's rebirth. He can fully support his sister on his own, and Qu Qingdai is also a famous painter. Although the status of the two may not be as good as the Jiang family for the time being, they are still well-known figures. Qu Qingzhu's thoughts are completely different from those in his previous life. Having lived in Hai City for so long, he has more or less heard about the Jiang family's lavish favor on their daughter, and is afraid that his sister will not be valued if he goes there.
"It's okay, brother. I've already promised them, so I will definitely go. With your sister's ability, do you think I will be bullied? What's more, I have my brother, and A-Mo will come back later. I have you two backing me up, so how can I be bullied? Don't worry." Qu Qingdai said with a smile. She was deeply moved by her brother's words. She knew that if her brother had the ability, he would definitely not let her go home to recognize her relatives like he did in her previous life.
"Then you must protect yourself when you go to the Jiang family's family recognition banquet. My brother has something to do and can't accompany you that day. Don't let yourself be wronged." Qu Qingzhu said uneasily. He was afraid that Qu Qingdai would feel wronged when she saw the scene of her biological parents doting on their adopted daughter.
"I got it, brother. Don't worry." Qu Qingdai looked at her brother who was full of worry and decided to change the subject: "Brother, it's very late. I'm going to talk on the phone with A-Mo for a long time. You should go to bed early too. I'll go upstairs." As soon as Qu Qingdai finished speaking, she flashed back to the room at an extremely fast speed.
"Silly girl, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Qu Qingzhu shook his head helplessly.
What Qu Qingdai said was not an excuse. She really missed Su Jingmo deeply. After returning to the room, she threw herself directly onto the soft bed and then couldn't wait to dial the phone.
It seemed as if the person on the other end of the phone had been waiting for her call. As soon as the first "beep" sounded, the phone was quickly picked up just one second later.
"Hey, have you finally remembered your husband whom you cruelly abandoned? Tell me, you clearly promised to call me when you landed, but which heartless person forgot about it?" The voice from the other end of the line carried a barely perceptible hint of grievance, which traveled along the phone line to Qu Qingdai's ears.
"I'm sorry, Amo, I haven't seen my brother for a long time. I was so engrossed in chatting with him that I forgot about you. But when I thought of you, I immediately ended my reunion with my brother and came to admit my mistake and atone for my sins to you..." Qu Qingdai's soft, sweet and moving voice came slowly from the phone, with a bit of coquettishness, which instantly dispelled Su Jingmo's remaining dissatisfaction without a trace.
"Hmph, you little fool, I'll forgive you this time." Su Jingmo said proudly on the other end of the phone, "When I return to China, you must make it up to me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qu Qingdai's mind involuntarily recalled the events of their parting night in the bedroom, bathroom, and by the French window. Those images made her heart throb. She lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes fluttering gently like a small fan, and a blush as bright as the clouds on the horizon spread across her fair cheeks.
Qu Qingdai bit her lower lip slightly, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised, and she rubbed her face lightly on the soft quilt, then said to the other end of the phone: "Big bad guy, don't say anything more."
"Oh, did I say anything? Why did my baby call me a bad guy? Baby, did you think of something you shouldn't think about, huh?" Su Jingmo's joking words were full of smiles.
These words tinged with laughter made Qu Qingdai's cheeks even redder. She buried her head deeply in the quilt and said in a muffled voice with some embarrassment, "Don't say anymore, or I'll really hang up."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore. My little baby is shy." Su Jingmo coaxed gently. He seemed to be able to outline Qu Qingdai's appearance at this moment in his mind. Her cheeks must be as rosy as the gorgeous sunset in the sky, and her eyes are full of affection. She looks shy and timid, just like a blooming water lotus, waiting for people to appreciate and pick it.
"Hmph..." Qu Qingdai made a slight sound of dissatisfaction.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, baby. How are you preparing for the family reunion banquet in three days?"
"Then I must go there to shine!" That's right, Qu Qingdai is not just going there to recognize her relatives, she is going there to slap their faces.
"Then you must take care to protect yourself. I can't be with you that day. If you encounter any grievances, don't endure it. Just fight back directly. Your husband will support you." Su Jingmo carefully reminded her on the other end of the phone.
"I know, I love you~"
"I love you too, baby. You've been tired all day, so take a rest."
"Yeah, I know. You should also take care of yourself and rest. Bye, husband~"
"Bye, baby, I'll come get you."
