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

Afterwards, Su Jingmo pulled out his phone and opened the childhood friend group he hadn't checked in a while. This group consisted of his close friends in the Beijing community. The group name was quite distinctive: "Gathering Place for Rich Youngsters in the Beijing Circle." It was obvious that it was named by a middle school student.

Su Jingmo opened the group chat and found that everyone in the group was frantically calling Shang Lu, asking him about Qu Qingdai, but Shang Lu did not respond at all and became invisible in the group.

Looking at these group messages, Su Jingmo smiled helplessly. What a bunch of people who just want to watch the fun and stir up trouble! Then, Su Jingmo, who hadn't been in the group for a long time, finally spoke up.

[M: Since everyone already knows about this, we should keep it a secret. If I find out who leaked the news before I get back, don't blame me for treating them well!]

[The Little Prince of Beijing Circle: Wow! I actually saw Fourth Brother appear!]

Lu Shangshang: Fourth brother, I didn't say anything! I have the chat records as proof!

Fu: Xiao Si, you've kept it a secret for so long! We didn't know about your marriage until over half a year ago! When you come back, you must apologize to us wholeheartedly!

[Q: @M, Second Brother, when will you bring your younger siblings back for us to see? Mom can't help but run to find you!]

[Jiuri: When will you return to Beijing? Bring it back so we can see it. If I hadn't been tied up, Shang Lu wouldn't have gone to Haishi. I would have gone instead.]

[Yiduoyun: I second the motion!]

【The Little Prince of Beijing Circle:+】

[Lu Shangshang: This is fate, lulululu~]

The system prompts "Lu Shangshang withdraws a message"

[9th day: @Lu Shangshang is really brave, I took a screenshot, I'll show you what I can do when I get back!]

[Lu Shangshang: Third brother, I was wrong. Please forgive me! Kneeling JPG.]

[The Little Prince of Beijing Circle: Serves you right! ]

[A Cloud: Serves you right! +]

[M: Once everything in Hai City is settled, I'll go back and help calm my mom down. Oh, and I've given my old bar in Jing City to my eldest brother-in-law. Guys, please take care of it!]

【Fu: OK】

Q: Yes.

[The Little Prince of Beijing Circle: Don't worry, Fourth Brother's brother-in-law is my brother-in-law, I'll take care of it!]

Su Jingmo looked at the chat messages in the group, shook his head helplessly, but a smile appeared on his face.

After Su Jingmo left, Shang Lu quickly called his assistant and instructed, "Go and call Bai Ren to come to me on the second floor. By the way, I'll have you preside over the affairs of the banquet hall. I won't be going down to entertain those wealthy families in Hai City."

"Yes, Mr. Shang!"

"Well, go ahead. Thank you for your hard work."

Shang Lu instructed his assistant. He thought to himself that since he couldn't see his sister-in-law, he should first complete the task assigned by Fourth Brother Su, and then go back to Jing City and wait.

In the banquet hall, Shang Lu's assistant quickly found Bai Ren, walked up to him and said, "Master Bai Ren, my young master invites you to the private room on the second floor."

This sudden scene stunned everyone around, and the banquet hall instantly became silent as if the mute button was pressed.

"Your young master is..." Bai Ren asked hesitantly.

"I can't elaborate on the young master's identity. You'll find out when you go up," the assistant responded.

"Okay, then I'll go take a look." Bai Ren said after thinking for a moment.

"Okay, please come this way!" The assistant made a gesture of invitation.

"Hey, wait, you only invited Bai Ren and not us?" Zhao Chenxiang asked hurriedly when she saw this.

"Sorry, there's only Young Master Bai Ren here. Please feel free to do as you please." After the assistant said this, he and Bai Ren left the banquet hall and went upstairs.

"Brother, look, why did you only invite him? What's going on with that big shot from Beijing?" Zhao Chenxiang said to Zhao Guangbai dissatisfiedly.

"I'm not sure. Let's wait and see. I don't know why the other party likes Bai Ren..." Zhao Guangbai said with a frown.

"Hmph, looking for Bai Ren, you have no vision!" Zhao Chenxiang said disdainfully.

"Knock knock knock, knock knock knock... Young Master Shang, Young Master Bai Ren is here." The servant outside the door said respectfully.

"Come in." Shang Lu's voice came from the box.

Bai Ren walked into the box full of doubts. His heart was filled with confusion and curiosity. He didn't know why Shang Lu was looking for him.

"Hello, who are you..." Bai Ren looked at the man sitting in the box and asked in confusion.

"Hello, I'm Shang Lu. Don't stand there, sit down first." Shang Lu said with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Shang, what's the matter that you called me up here?" Bai Ren asked in confusion after sitting down.

"I won't beat around the bush with you. I heard that your Bai family and the Zhao family are fighting for a piece of land. Is that true?" Shang Lu asked directly.

"This... is indeed the case, but the Bai family is simply no match for the Zhao family. We're almost giving up. Are you going to..."

"That's fine. I can make this piece of land belong to your Bai family. Just tell me whether you want it or not!"

"Yes, yes, yes, of course! But I wonder what the Bai family will have to pay?"

"You don't need to pay anything. I simply can't stand the Zhao family, so I want to help you. How about it?"

"This... I'm so grateful. That being said, we shouldn't accept gifts without merit. The Bai family owes Master Shang a favor. If you need us in the future, we will definitely go through fire and water!"

"Okay, I don't need any of this. If you really want to help me, then the Zhao family should not cooperate with them in the future. This is also for your own good. Do you understand?"

"Okay, I'll go tell my family right now and cancel all cooperation with the Zhao family!"

"Okay, I'm satisfied!"

"Well... Mr. Shang, I'll be leaving first. After all, the company's affairs are not my responsibility. I need to report today's events to my family." Bai Ren stood up and said.

"Okay, you go first." Shang Lu waved his hand and said.

"Goodbye!" Bai Ren said, then turned and left the box.

After Shang Lu successfully completed the task assigned by Su Jingmo, he felt that he had no intention of staying here any longer, so he made a quick decision and immediately set off to fly abroad. Return to Jingdong? That was impossible. He would think of everything that had just happened in the group. It would be better to go abroad and hide for a while. Saving his life was the most important thing!

After returning home, Bai Ren detailed the incident to his parents and brothers. Upon hearing this, Bai's parents speculated that the Zhao family might have done something to displease a prominent figure in Jing City. After careful consideration, they decisively decided to disassociate themselves from the Zhao family and immediately cancel their cooperation. They had already been embroiled in a dispute over the land, and now that not only had the land been secured, but also that the Zhao family had offended a prominent figure in Jing City, the Bai family cut ties without hesitation. Subsequently, the Bai family informed their close friends of the incident, encouraging them to distance themselves from the Zhao family.

The situation for the Zhao family, however, was quite different. Not only did they fail to meet the prominent figure from Beijing, but after the banquet, they received shocking news—the land had been acquired by the Bai family and was now theirs. Simultaneously, the Bai family cancelled all ties with the Zhao family. This series of setbacks plunged the Zhao family into an unprecedented predicament, leaving them at a loss as to what to do.

In the world of the wealthy in Hai City, as the situation changes, the highly anticipated program "Ordinary Us" is about to start its third episode.

After methodically packing up her belongings, Qu Qingdai said goodbye to Su Jingmo. She boarded a bus and slowly drove to the assembly point. As she disembarked, the familiar scenery greeted her. She took a deep breath, a wave of emotion welling up in her heart. Finally here, she thought to herself. She'd waited so long for this episode. In her previous life, it was this episode that completely ruined her reputation, and in this life, she was going to stage a remarkable comeback. No matter how treacherous Jiang Baizhi might be, she was fully prepared.

Meanwhile, Jiang Baizhi was still on the road. Sitting quietly in her car, her eyes fixed on the rapidly passing scenery outside the window, her thoughts drifted to the plot of the original novel. In the original novel, the fake daughter had long since disappeared, but now she still existed. She knew full well that the plot had changed, and she had already made plans based on the original novel's plot after entering the book. Those things she had long decided to snatch would help her reach the top in this episode. For all of this, she had been meticulously preparing for two years. She told herself that only success was allowed, not failure!

At the gathering point for the third episode of the variety show, Qu Qingdai, Jiang Baizhi, Tan Changqing, Bai Renhe, and others arrived one after another. Some were unhurried, some looked expectant, and some were slightly excited. Each arrival seemed to add a unique touch of color to the venue.

As time passed, all six of the regular guests gathered. Amidst this lively atmosphere, the long-absent director finally reappeared. His presence signaled the start of this variety show extravaganza.

Almost immediately, the livestream officially began. The flashing camera lens and the real-time images unfolded everything before the audience. The long-awaited audience, upon seeing the livestream, excitedly posted comments.

They expressed their emotions in words, telling of their love and expectations for this variety show.

[The days seem like years, and I finally waited for the third issue! ]

【The third episode is finally here! I've been waiting so anxiously! 】

[I don’t know what the theme of this issue is, looking forward to it...]

【It’s been a long time since we last met, I miss you so much! 】

【Ahhh, the third episode is finally here! I'm crying my eyes out!】

[Who will be the guest star this time? I'm really looking forward to it!]

"Dear guests and viewers, it's been a long time since we last met! Our variety show 'Ordinary Us' has finally welcomed its third episode! In this episode, we will bring you a brand new and unique experience!" The director spoke passionately. "First of all, I would like to solemnly introduce this episode's guest star, the renowned painting master Tao Huaixi, Mr. Tao! Let's give him a warm round of applause!"

"Wow! It's him! The program team actually invited Mr. Tao to this episode! It's really amazing!" Lin Zhirou said to Jiang Baizhi in surprise.

"Yes, it's indeed him!" Jiang Baizhi responded.

"So this issue is about art?" Chao Yan asked doubtfully.

"This... I'm not good at art." Bai Ren scratched his head and said.

"Since Mr. Tao was invited, it must be related to art." Tan Changqing said affirmatively.

"It's finally here." Qu Qingdai murmured softly, and only she could hear this subtle sound.

Under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Tao Huaixi slowly emerged. Dressed in a simple, elegant long gown, the hems fluttering in the breeze, he exuded a refined demeanor. With steady steps, he approached the procession of guests. His slightly graying hair gleamed with wisdom in the sunlight. A gentle smile graced his face, and his eyes revealed a deep, tranquil strength.

When he stood still, the guests and staff burst into warm applause and cheers. Tao Huaixi smiled and waved to everyone, saying, "Thank you, everyone! Hello!"

"Mr. Tao, I have always liked your paintings. I am working hard to learn how to paint!" Jiang Baizhi said as soon as she stepped forward.

Tao Huaixi responded gently: "Thank you for your love. Art comes from life. I hope my work can bring some touching moments and reflections to everyone."

"Mr. Tao, although I don't know much about art, everyone can see the contribution you have made to the art world! We warmly welcome you to join us!" Tan Changqing said with a smile and a sincere tone.

"Thank you Mr. Tan for your praise. Your achievements and contributions in the film and television industry are truly admirable!" Tao Huaixi responded modestly with a gentle smile on his face.

"Hello Mr. Tao, I'm Lin Zhirou. I'm so excited to meet you in person! Can you sign an autograph for me later?" Lin Zhirou said excitedly, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.

"Hahaha, of course." Tao Huaixi answered with a hearty smile.

"Mr. Tao, my name is Chao Yan. I have always wanted to ask you some painting techniques. I think this will be of great help to me in shaping artistic characters in the future!" Chao Yan said impatiently, her eyes full of desire for knowledge.

"It's my honor!" Tao Huaixi agreed happily.

"Hello, Mr. Tao!" Qu Qingdai and Bai Ren also walked forward and greeted Tao Huaixi politely.

"Hello!" Tao Huaixi responded with a smile, his attitude friendly and easy-going.

At this moment, the live broadcast room's barrage of comments surged like a tide, flooding the screen:

[It turned out to be Tao Huaixi, the production team is so awesome! ]

【Welcome Mr. Tao Huaixi! 】

I'm really looking forward to Mr. Tao's performance on the show!

This episode was so wonderful! Everyone was so loving!

Mr. Tao is truly a man of both virtue and talent! What a feast of art!

So exciting! So awesome!

[Looking forward to this theme! Director, please announce it soon! ]
