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

When Qu Qingdai awoke from her daze, she found nightfall outside the window. She turned to look beside her; the man had vanished, leaving only an empty silence. She slowly shifted in bed, gently turning over. Suddenly, a throbbing aching sensation spread throughout her body.

She gritted her teeth and cursed Su Jingmo inwardly, thinking that she would never let him do whatever he wanted again next time. She sighed helplessly and continued to lie flat on the bed, feeling extremely annoyed. The day passed like this, and she didn't accomplish anything. All the benefits were given to that hateful Su Jingmo. Alas, beauty really misleads people. Beauty is emptiness, emptiness is beauty. I can't do this next time, she couldn't help but warn herself in her heart.

When Su Jingmo pushed open the door and walked into the room, his eyes were immediately drawn to Qu Qingdai. Her bright eyes were moving around, and she looked as if she was planning something interesting, sometimes with a look of frustration. Her expression was so adorable that he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, revealing a doting smile.

"Baby, what bad ideas are you planning again?"

"uh-huh."

Qu Qingdai snorted at him, then raised her chin, opened her arms in a pretentious and coquettish manner, and said coquettishly, "Little Mozi, quickly carry me to wash up."

"Hahahaha, as you command, my queen." Su Jingmo cooperated with her performance, his face filled with a bright smile. He bent down, stretched out his arms, carefully picked up Qu Qingdai, and walked slowly and steadily towards the bathroom.

After washing up, Su Jingmo did not let Qu Qingdai go downstairs by herself, but picked her up gently and walked towards the restaurant. At this time, the servants in the restaurant had already followed Su Jingmo's arrangements and prepared everything before leaving. Now, in the entire restaurant, except for a table of hot dinner exuding an enticing aroma, the only two people left were Su Jingmo and Qu Qingdai who had just entered the restaurant.

Su Jingmo gently placed Qu Qingdai on his lap, then picked up a bowl of steaming hot soup, scooped a spoonful with a spoon, and carefully brought it to Qu Qingdai's mouth, saying gently: "Come, Queen, drink some soup to warm your stomach first, I will serve you."

"Ahhh, I don't want to act anymore, A'mo, put me down, I can sit by myself." Qu Qingdai had had enough of acting, and she felt a little embarrassed when she heard Su Jingmo say that. She twisted and turned in his arms, wanting to get off, and was unwilling to drink the spoonful of soup he fed her.

"What's wrong? Is my queen shy? Where did the energy that made me take off my clothes go?"

"You, stop talking!"

"Hahahaha, I've made my queen suffer today, so let me serve her dinner properly."

"Hmph, then you have to serve me well, otherwise I will give you a hundred lashes of blood!" Qu Qingdai gave up struggling, leaned softly in Su Jingmo's arms and said threateningly.

"Hahaha, as you command, my Queen!"

In this huge restaurant, they enjoyed the delicious food one bite at a time, and the air was filled with warmth and sweetness.

After dinner, Qu Qingdai still felt shrouded in a deep sense of distress.

Seeing this, Su Jingmo said to her gently, "Baby, you look very tired. You should go back to your room and rest early. I'll go to the study to take care of some work and then come back to accompany you."

Qu Qingdai nodded happily in agreement.

After Qu Qingdai returned to her room, she leaned lazily on the bed, picked up her mobile phone and started browsing Weibo.

She casually browsed through the comments and her eyes stopped at the comments about Jiang Baizhi. She found that the opinions on the Internet were mixed. Some netizens felt that Jiang Baizhi was very unlucky. In the first episode, her money was stolen, and in the second episode, she had to leave because of illness. They expressed sympathy for her. However, while other netizens sympathized with her experience, there were also many haters who said that she was not suitable for this variety show and that she was born with bad luck, which was why the show never went smoothly.

Looking at these comments, Qu Qingdai couldn't help but have a lot of thoughts in her mind.

In her past life, these comments were almost exclusively directed at her. Back then, her performance in the first two episodes of the show was even worse than that of Jiang Baizhi in this life. The internet was flooded with abuse, and few people sympathized with her. However, in this life, Jiang Baizhi had a substantial fan base, so many people still defended her online.

Qu Qingdai quietly watched the comments defending Jiang Baizhi. She thought silently that when the third episode was broadcast and everyone saw what Jiang Baizhi had done, she didn't know how many people would continue to support her.

Qu Qingdai's thoughts drifted back to the third period of her previous life. At that time, she faced everyone's doubts and explained helplessly, but still could not change anything. That incident was still like a heavy stone, pressing on her heart, making it difficult for her to let go.

Thinking of this at this moment, Qu Qingdai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, God was kind to her and gave her a chance to be reborn, allowing her to have the opportunity to fight again for everything that originally belonged to her.

She firmly believed that this time, no matter how strange or unpredictable Jiang Baizhi was, fate would be on her side. She would use this rare opportunity for rebirth to reclaim everything she had lost.

At this moment, Jiang Baizhi, who had just been discharged from the hospital, was staying in the cozy bedroom of the Jiang family's old house. Her fingers kept sliding across the screen of her phone, scrolling through Weibo. When she saw the malicious comments slandering her, she suddenly felt an uncontrollable anger surge in her heart.

She quickly picked up her phone and called her fiancé, Zhao Guangbai. After the line beeped twice, Zhao Guangbai's concerned voice came from the other end of the line: "What's wrong, Xiaozhi? Are you still not feeling well?"

Jiang Baizhi said with a hint of grievance, "I'm fine. I just checked Weibo for a while. Many people online said that I was born with bad luck and failed to complete the recording twice, but I clearly didn't..."

Zhao Guangbai comforted her gently, "Be good, don't cry. I know you're not that kind of person. You're my lucky star. If it weren't for you, the Zhao and Jiang families wouldn't be doing so well in business."

In fact, during the two years she had been in the novel, Jiang Baizhi had made full use of the plot's golden fingers to help the Zhao and Jiang families complete many large businesses. Therefore, both companies regarded Jiang Baizhi as a lucky star.

"But I don't want to see so many comments directed at me..." Jiang Baizhi's voice still contained a hint of sadness.

Zhao Guangbai quickly said, "I'll order someone to delete all these bad comments. Be good, don't bother yourself, and get some rest. You've only just recovered."

Jiang Baizhi nodded obediently and said, "Yeah, I understand. You should also go to bed early. Don't keep dealing with work and forget to take care of yourself."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first. Love you." Zhao Guangbai's voice was full of pampering.

"Yeah, I love you too." Jiang Baizhi said and gently hung up the phone.

Jiang Baizhi leaned quietly against the headboard, patiently waiting. Not long after, she picked up her phone and checked Weibo again. To her surprise, all the negative news about her had vanished. A smile suddenly spread across her face, and she couldn't help but hum a cheerful tune.

After this joyful moment, Jiang Baizhi's thoughts drifted back to the events of the third season of the original novel. She clearly remembered that at that time, the fake daughter in the original novel had been kicked out of the program. Without the hindrance of the fake daughter, the heroine immediately embarked on a career path. In this episode, the heroine's painting skills would be recognized by the master painter Tao Huaixi, and he would accept her as his disciple.

To connect with Tao Huaixi, Jiang Baizhi had been studying painting for a long time. She often practiced diligently in the Jiang family's studio, all for this moment. She was confident in herself and had no concerns that Tao Huaixi would dislike her paintings, because she had made all the necessary preparations.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the windows, casting patches of light onto the ground. After gently seeing Su Jingmo off to work, Qu Qingdai returned to her studio as usual. Gently picking up her brush, she traced lines across the pristine white canvas, her expression focused and serene, lost in her own world of painting.

Meanwhile, Su Jingmo was invited by the heirs of various wealthy families in Hai City to attend a grand business conference. Rumors circulated that a prominent figure from Jing City was coming, and he was ready to see who this figure was.

At this time, in the banquet hall of a five-star hotel in Hai City, it was very lively, and the young masters and young ladies from various wealthy groups gathered here.

Many of these people looked familiar. There was the elegant Bai Ren, with his tall stature and distinguished demeanor; there was the handsome Zhao Guangbai, with his smile and a confident look; and there was Zhao Chenxiang, dressed in a gorgeous gown and delicately made-up, like a blooming flower. They moved about the banquet hall, exchanging pleasantries...

"By the way, brother, I heard that people from Beijing will also attend the banquet today. Is this news true?" Zhao Chenxiang asked Zhao Guangbai curiously, with anticipation flashing in her eyes.

"Well, there is such a saying, but it may not be accurate. However, we must be fully prepared and leave a good impression on the other party, so that we can rely on our connections in Beijing in the future." Zhao Guangbai said seriously, adjusting his collar as he spoke.

"Don't worry, brother. I will definitely behave well. By the way, how is my sister-in-law doing recently? I haven't visited her recently. I don't know if she has recovered from her illness."

"It's not a big deal. She's been discharged and is now back home resting. But that Qu Qingdai is really quite capable. I see everyone praising her online."

"Humph, what real abilities can someone who grew up in an orphanage have? I think she only knows some petty tricks to frame others."

"Indeed. After the variety show is over and Bai Zhi's reputation improves, we'll find someone to send her abroad and tell her never to come back."

"I totally agree. It would be best if she never came back."

"Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. The party is about to start. Let's go."

"Uh-huh!"

Zhao Chenxiang nodded, followed Zhao Guangbai, and walked into the bustling crowd in the banquet hall.

At this time, in the private room on the second floor of the banquet hall, Su Jingmo was meeting with his good friend Shang Lu.

"Why are you here?" Su Jingmo looked at Shang Lu and asked with some confusion. He really didn't expect that the so-called big shot was Shang Lu in their circle.

"I heard that our perpetual bachelor finally got married and came to the city where his sweet wife lives. I had to come and see her." Shang Lu said with a smile, a teasing look on his face.

"Where did you hear that?"

"Oh! It was the bar's little prince Du Zhong who said that. A friend of mine accidentally overheard his conversation with Gu Senyu and told me."

"Hmph, that's him. It seems like sending him to Jing City to help was a wrong decision. Who knows about this now?"

"Don't worry, not many people know. I've already warned my friends not to spread rumors. We have to protect the second young master Su's little wife. Otherwise, if those young ladies in Beijing find out, my sister-in-law will be in trouble. Don't worry, only a few of us who are particularly close to each other know, and we are very tight-lipped! By the way, where is my sister-in-law? Didn't she come today?"

"She has something to do. I'll introduce her to you next time I take her to Jing City. Besides, she doesn't know my identity yet."

"What? Your sister-in-law doesn't know that you are a rich young man? Then why is she willing to marry someone like you with an expressionless face?!" Shang Lu said in surprise, with an incredible expression on his face.

"What are you talking about! If you can't speak, just shut up!" Su Jingmo kicked Shang Lu angrily after hearing what he said.

"Ouch, I said it wrong. It's not a paralyzed face, it's a violent face!" Shang Lu shouted exaggeratedly, and deliberately pretended to be scared.

"Okay, let's get back to the topic. Did you see Zhao Guangbai and Zhao Chenxiang downstairs?"

"I saw it. What's wrong? Who offended our Second Brother Su? Let me teach him a lesson!"

"It's not me, it's them who provoke your sister-in-law."

"How can this be tolerated? No, we must teach them a lesson! Second brother, tell me what to do, and I'll do it!"

"I heard that there is a piece of land in Dongcheng District of Hai City, and the Zhao family and the Bai family are fighting for it. Let the Bai family take it." Su Jingmo said lightly.

"Okay, I'll take your orders!" Shang Lu said with a smile.

"Okay, the banquet is up to you, the big shot from Beijing! I'm leaving first!" Su Jingmo teased.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you leaving just after you arrived? The banquet hasn't even started yet!" Shang Lu said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"No, I want to go home to be with my wife!" Su Jingmo's face was filled with a happy smile.

"Damn! Showing off your affection will lead to death sooner!" Shang Lu said with a curled lip.

Su Jingmo left the banquet with a smile on his face. He had only come to see who had arrived from Jing City, but he hadn't expected it to be his good friend Shang Lu. Shang Lu, though seemingly carefree, was actually quite reassuring in his actions. He could leave the Zhao family's affairs to him.
