After the real daughter was reborn, the girl who traveled through the book was cannon fodder

Jiang's kitchen

Jiang Baizhi was absorbed in preparing delicious food. She was actually a book-crossing girl, having traveled to this world two years earlier. She knew full well that she was merely a fake daughter, destined to be cannon fodder sooner or later. Yet, she felt a surge of resentment. Before her time travel, she was just an ordinary worker, envious of the daughters of wealthy families who lived freely, without worrying about food and shelter.

Now, after finally experiencing a time travel experience, she even traveled to the novel she had read, becoming the highly regarded daughter of a wealthy family. How could she possibly be willing to follow the original plot and end up being cannon fodder? She knew very well that in the original story, the fake daughter was cannon fodder because she was jealous of the return of the real daughter and was afraid that the real daughter would take away her parents' love. So she did a series of evil things, which eventually exhausted her adoptive parents' love for her and led to a miserable death.

But that was just the plot in the original novel. Since she traveled to this world, she would never follow the path of the original novel.

This time, Jiang Baizhi arrives in a book with a God's perspective. She plays the role of a good girl to her adoptive parents, diligently learning various etiquette and arts, striving to become one of Hai City's most prestigious socialites. Six months ago, she became engaged to Zhao Guangbai, the heir to the Zhao family, a perfect match for the Jiang family. The two were hailed as the golden couple of the wealthy. Career-wise, she entered the entertainment industry and became a highly anticipated rising star, truly achieving both success in love and career.

Just when everything was going smoothly, a month ago, Jiang Baizhi's mother suffered an accident and needed a blood transfusion. Jiang Baizhi knew clearly that the plot of the original novel had begun. In the original novel, it was this accident that led to the exposure of the true and false daughters, triggering a series of subsequent plot developments.

In the original novel, the fake daughter felt extremely panicked and frightened after learning that she was not her biological daughter. She did some things that hurt her adoptive parents, causing them to gradually become disappointed in her. This also laid the groundwork for her later fate of being cannon fodder.

This time, Jiang Baizhi, who traveled through time, had already made sufficient preparations. When she learned that she was not a real daughter, she did not show panic of being abandoned. Instead, she showed guilt for having enjoyed her parents' love for so long in vain despite not being their biological daughter. She also actively asked to find her parents' biological daughter, and took care of Jiang's mother who was in hospital day and night, showing that she was very sensible and filial.

Because of this, Jiang's parents doted on her even more, stating that even if their biological daughter returned, Jiang Baizhi would still be their beloved daughter, and that the Jiang family would then have two daughters. Her fiancé, the Zhao family, also believed that what she had done was beyond the reach of even a truly wealthy daughter. The Zhao family members loved her even more, stating that even if their real daughter returned, they would only recognize Jiang Baizhi as their daughter-in-law.

At this moment, Jiang Baizhi was humming a song happily and making desserts slowly in the kitchen. She didn't care at all about the family reunion banquet three days later.

Not long after Jiang's mother's accident, the Jiang family had already found out the details of the real daughter. However, at the time, Jiang's mother was still in the hospital, and Jiang Baizhi was taking such good care of her. The Jiang family's parents felt that taking their biological daughter back immediately after finding her would hurt Jiang Baizhi's heart, so they kept delaying the matter. As a result, the matter was exposed online and widely spread by marketing accounts. This was very detrimental to Jiang Baizhi's development in the entertainment industry. Black fans also attacked her as a fake daughter who had usurped the throne. This forced the Jiang family to prepare this family recognition banquet to restore Jiang Baizhi's reputation in the entertainment industry.

"Miss, the master and his wife are back." The Jiang family's housekeeper shouted to Jiang Baizhi in the kitchen.

"Mom!" Jiang Baizhi put down the biscuits in her hand and ran out of the kitchen like a fly. When she saw her beautiful mother, Jiang Baizhi pounced on her and kept rubbing against her in Liu Peilan's arms.

Although Liu Peilan is nearly fifty years old, she looks like she is in her thirties, with fair skin and still beautiful appearance.

"You're such a grown-up and you're still acting like a spoiled child. You're really the most shameless!" Liu Peilan touched Jiang Baizhi's long ponytail lovingly and said with a smile.

"No matter how old I am, I will always be my mother's sweet little cotton-padded jacket." Jiang Baizhi responded and playfully stuck out her tongue.

"Come, let mommy pinch how thick your skin is." Liu Peilan said, reaching out and gently pinching Jiang Baizhi's little face.

"Dad..." Jiang Baizhi looked at her father for help.

Jiang Zhezhou exudes an air of elegance, is handsome, and possesses a charismatic charisma. However, despite always doting on his daughter, he now helplessly spreads his hands, expressing his inability to do anything. There's nothing he can do; at home, mother reigns supreme.

The family was laughing and having fun.

Not long after, thanks to the housekeeper's careful preparation, the family sat around the dining table and enjoyed delicious food.

Jiang Baizhi used chopsticks to stir the rice in the bowl, looking worried and absent-minded, which was soon noticed by Liu Peilan.

"What's wrong, Xiaozhi?" Liu Peilan asked with concern, and Jiang Zhezhou also turned his gaze to Jiang Baizhi.

"It's okay, Mom. Come and try this dish. I made it myself!"

"How can it be okay? I see you look so distracted. Tell me and let daddy help you solve it." As she said that, Liu Peilan gently kicked Jiang Zhezhou with her foot.

"Ahem, yes, tell me and dad will find a way to solve it for you." Jiang Zhezhou said.

"It's... actually it's not a big deal. It's just that my sister's family recognition party is in three days, and I was wondering if I should avoid it. After all, I have occupied my sister's identity for so many years, and she definitely doesn't want to see me." Jiang Baizhi said sadly, her eyes gradually turning red.

"Why are you avoiding it? There's no need to avoid it. It's true that your sister will come back that day, but you are still our Jiang family's daughter. We will announce on the spot that you two are both members of the Jiang family. Later, we will ask your sister to accompany you to participate in the variety show. If you avoid it, then mom and dad's preparations will be in vain. You and your sister are both mom's daughters. We are all flesh and blood, regardless of whether we are biological or not." Liu Peilan looked at her daughter's red eyes and said with great heartache.

"That's right, I believe your sister will be a sensible child and she will listen to mom and dad's arrangements. You just need to dress up beautifully and attend the event that day." Jiang Zhezhou received Liu Peilan's hint and quickly comforted Jiang Baizhi.

Hearing Jiang Zhezhou and Liu Peilan say this, Jiang Baizhi knew in her heart that her efforts over the past two years had not been in vain. After all, in the original novel, Jiang Baizhi had done some things that disappointed the Jiang family's parents. At this family reunion banquet, Jiang Baizhi did not attend, but was locked in the room and made a big fuss, which was completely different from the situation at this moment.

"There are still three days before the family reunion banquet. Do we need to bring my sister home to live? Then we can go try on dresses together and attend the banquet at the same time. It will definitely show our sisterly love." Jiang Baizhi sat next to Liu Peilan and said to her closely.

"No need, I've already called and asked. She said she's living at her brother's house and will attend the party directly and won't be coming." Jiang Zhezhou frowned and said with a little dissatisfaction.

"Ah, sister, don't you want to spend more time with mom and dad? If it were me, I would definitely run over to see mom and dad right away." Jiang Baizhi said as she gently rubbed Liu Peilan's shoulder with her head.

"I guess it's because you weren't raised since childhood, so you're not that close to us. Fortunately, we have a caring and sweet daughter like you who is always with us." Liu Peilan touched Jiang Baizhi's head gently, her eyes full of love.

"Mom and Dad, I love you the most!" Jiang Baizhi's voice was a little choked, and she snuggled up to Liu Peilan tightly.

"Really? Isn't that brat Zhao Guangbai your favorite?" Jiang Zhezhou pretended to be angry but with a smile on his face.

"No, of course I love you the most. He can only be ranked third. Mom is first and Dad is second." Jiang Baizhi leaned against Liu Peilan affectionately and said in a coquettish tone, with a happy smile on her face.

"My daughter is so sweet!" Liu Peilan smiled and touched Jiang Baizhi's hair, her tone full of endless pampering, as if she was the most precious baby in the world.

Three days passed in a flash, and today was the day when the Jiang family banquet began.

At this time, in the lounge on the second floor of the banquet hall, Jiang Baizhi was discussing the protagonist of the banquet - Qu Qingdai with Miss Zhao, Zhao Guangbai's sister Zhao Chenxiang.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, have you seen this Qu Qingdai? What does she look like? Is she a good person? Will she come to compete with you for Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang?" Zhao Chenxiang leaned closely against Jiang Baizhi and asked with a curious and gossipy look on her face.

"I've never seen her before, but I think she should be very beautiful. After all, her parents are both handsome and beautiful, so their biological daughter must not be bad either. As for her personality, I'm not sure yet. After all, time reveals a person's true character. It takes some time to get to know him or her." Jiang Baizhi answered casually while looking into the distance thoughtfully.

In fact, she had never seen Qu Qingdai, but in her imagination, Qu Qingdai must be very beautiful. After all, she is the heroine in the original novel. She must be so beautiful that she can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground, and the moon hide in shame. Only in this way can she be worthy of the heroine's status. As for her personality, the heroine she knew in the original novel has always been kind and pure.

Although the heroine's childhood was not easy, her brother in the orphanage always doted on her. After being recognized as her own child, she was doted on by her parents, which made up for the hardships she had endured before. After that, the heroine also started a painting career, which was smooth sailing, and she was simply a winner in life. However, Jiang Baizhi would not say these things easily. She had already made up her mind to use the golden finger brought by her book travel to make everything that Qu Qingdai had her own.

"Is that so? Then I really want to take a good look at this real daughter. However, sister-in-law, if she thinks you have taken advantage of her status and deliberately makes things difficult for you, I will not give her a good face! I will definitely help you get revenge! A kind person like you will definitely be bullied by those who have been uneducated since childhood. I have been asked by my brother to protect you well!" Zhao Chenxiang clenched his hands tightly, with a firm expression on his face as if he was rushing to the battlefield.

"Hahaha, it's not as exaggerated as you say! Look, I have so many people around me, how could I possibly suffer any injustice? And I believe Qu Qingdai is very easy to get along with, so you can rest assured." Jiang Baizhi said with a smile as she recalled the plot. She realized that the entire book was a sweet story about the return of the real daughter and her pampering. In the plot, Qu Qingdai was always the protected party, and every time the malicious fake daughter tried to make a move, she was promptly nipped in the bud.

But now that she has traveled through time, everything will be different. Jiang Baizhi didn't think that she, a person who traveled through time and space, would be inferior to the heroine in the original novel. Unfortunately, she didn't know that the heroine in the current novel was reborn.

"Alright, I'll just listen to my sister-in-law for now. The banquet is about to begin, let's go downstairs to welcome this real daughter." Zhao Chenxiang took Jiang Baizhi's wrist and slowly led her downstairs. At this moment, the family recognition banquet was about to begin...
