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

"Amo, I've finished my work here. You should not be off work yet, right? You don't have to pick me up. I can just call the driver to pick me up." Qu Qingdai said gently to the person on the other end of the phone, with a hint of coquettishness in her voice.

"Baby, I've already left. Just wait for me there." Su Jingmo's magnetic voice came clearly from the phone, making Qu Qingdai feel warm in her heart.

"Ah, why are you..." Qu Qingdai was a little surprised, but also a little moved. She didn't understand why Su Jingmo did this.

"Hahaha, because I have been paying attention to my baby's live broadcast all the time, and I saw everything that happened in the live broadcast. I knew that today's live broadcast might end in a hurry, so I set off very early, just to see you earlier." Su Jingmo explained patiently, his words full of love for Qu Qingdai.

"Yes, then Amo, I'll be waiting for you at the entrance of the exhibition hall." Qu Qingdai's voice was full of anticipation.

"Okay, baby, go wait inside. It's windy outside, don't catch a cold." Su Jingmo said with concern.

"I'm not cold. I'll wait for you. Please drive carefully. Bye!" Qu Qingdai said with a smile.

"Okay, bye!" Su Jingmo also responded and then hung up the phone.

Qu Qingdai stood at the door of the exhibition hall with her mobile phone, looking into the distance, her heart filled with happiness. After a while, she saw Su Jingmo's car slowly approaching, and a bright smile appeared on her face.

As Su Jingmo's car got closer, Qu Qingdai's heartbeat gradually quickened.

After the car stopped, Su Jingmo quickly got out, came to Qu Qingdai, and hugged her tightly in his arms. Qu Qingdai felt Su Jingmo's warmth, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

Su Jingmo stroked her hair and said softly, "Baby, I've kept you waiting for a long time."

Qu Qingdai shook her head and said, "I don't feel it's been long at all. Ah Mo, I missed you."

The two walked towards the car, hugging each other. Su Jingmo opened the door for Qu Qingdai and let her get in. Then, he got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove towards their home.

In the car, Qu Qingdai snuggled up to Su Jingmo, eager to share her feelings from the day. She said excitedly, "Mo, you know what? I thought we were doomed, but I never expected such a shocking turn of events!"

Su Jingmo laughed heartily after hearing this and said, "Hahaha, I saw it all on the live broadcast. But, there's one thing that's really strange. How come Jiang Baizhi has a painting exactly like yours?"

Qu Qingdai frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on her face, and said, "I find this very strange too. How did she get it? I really can't figure it out." After that, she fell into deep thought, feeling extremely confused as to why Jiang Baizhi knew the address where she put the painting. This was not only her confusion in this life, but also a mystery that had been bothering her in her previous life.

"It's really strange. Let me ask someone to check it out?" Su Jingmo said with concern.

"Yeah, let's check it out. I really want to know what's going on here," Qu Qingdai nodded. Although she had asked someone to investigate before, they had never found any clues. She knew Su Jingmo's network of information was much larger than hers, so perhaps letting him investigate would lead to new discoveries and gains.

When Jiang Baizhi's plagiarism was revealed during the live broadcast, it was like a bombshell being detonated. The entire internet was instantly in an uproar, like a raging storm stirred by a strong wind, setting off a huge uproar. The entire network was plunged into an uproar and heated discussion, and the discussion about the plagiarism incident surged like a tidal wave.

This was no small matter! News of a wealthy daughter from Hai City plagiarizing the work of the renowned foreign artist Grace spread like wildfire. On popular forums like Weibo, Douban, Tieba, and Xiaohongshu, discussions continued to gather momentum, accumulating like a skyscraper. For a time, the comment sections were abuzz with a cacophony of voices.

At that moment, Weibo's trending searches were flooded with "explosive!" search terms, one after another, making it dizzying. One in particular stood out: a wealthy daughter plagiarized a work by the renowned painter Grace from five years ago. Despite repeated inquiries about its originality, she repeatedly lied. Is this the proper conduct expected of a daughter of a wealthy family? The topic of the "rich daughter plagiarism incident" quickly became a hot topic online, sparking the attention and outrage of countless netizens. Everyone expressed their opinions and views, and for a time, the internet was abuzz with condemnation and questioning of the incident.

Under this Weibo post, many netizens posted their own comments, with fierce words and indignant emotions:

"This is clearly a fake daughter of a wealthy family. Fake things are not presentable after all!" One netizen's comment was full of contempt and disdain for Jiang Baizhi.

"Is this a decline in morality or a distortion of human nature? It's really hard to understand!" Another netizen lamented with deep sorrow, expressing great disappointment and condemnation of Jiang Baizhi's behavior.

"She plagiarized a work from five years ago. She didn't think no one would know about it after so long! It's absolutely ridiculous. She ended up losing more than she gained."

"I heard she studied painting under a famous teacher for several years, but I didn't expect she's such a plagiarist! This is truly unexpected!"

"Is this the character of the Jiang family in Hai City? That really brings shame to the wealthy family!" Some netizens pointed the finger at the Jiang family, expressing deep concern and dissatisfaction with their reputation.

"Jiang seemed to have performed extremely poorly in the first two episodes of the variety show. I thought she was a bad apple back then, but I didn't expect she'd be a plagiarist!"

"It all depends on how the Jiang family handles this time. It's such a shame to have caused such a big fuss. But as a capitalist, there's no guarantee they'll be saved!"

"If you protect her, I will boycott Jiang's products!" Finally, some netizens issued a strong statement, expressing their firm attitude of boycott.

These comments came like a tide, pushing Jiang Baizhi and the Jiang family to the forefront of public opinion.

The plagiarism incident swept in like a storm, causing a huge uproar and becoming known to the whole city.

Meanwhile, Jiang Baizhi, having hurriedly fled the livestream, hid in her room like a frightened bird. She was terrified and at a loss for words. She couldn't understand why she had done such meticulous and foolproof work, yet ended up like this. She clearly remembered that the artist Grace didn't even appear in the original novel. The paintings were clearly the heroine's own, and there was no mention of plagiarism in the novel. But how could they now be attributed to Grace, and even more so, five years ago? This completely contradicted the original storyline! What was going on? Everything she had done was clearly according to the plot; she had only made minor changes. But all her changes were within the framework of the original story, appropriating the heroine's work for her own. But why, after appearing on the variety show, did everything seem to spiral out of her control? Was it because she had altered the plot so much, causing a butterfly effect? Or is this the heroine's strength, that no matter how others try to snatch what belongs to her, no one can take it away?

Jiang Baizhi's thoughts were like a tangled mess of threads, tangled and tangled, making it impossible for her to sort them out. She understood very clearly that her fame was no longer as great as it once was.

She had fully planned to use Qu Qingdai to elevate her own reputation, but she hadn't anticipated the opposite outcome. Instead of rising, her fame plummeted, plummeting to rock bottom. She had no idea how the Jiang family's parents would view her: would they be filled with disappointment or uncontrollable anger? She couldn't even guess whether the Zhao family would still recognize her as their daughter-in-law, or whether this incident would completely change their view of her. She had completely wrecked what had once been a promising situation, leaving her life in shambles.

"Knock, knock, knock... knock, knock, knock..." A series of rapid and loud knocks on the door abruptly broke Jiang Baizhi's chaotic thoughts. At the same time, Jiang Zhezhou's somewhat angry voice came from outside the door: "Baizhi, are you in there? Come out quickly, I have something to tell you!"

"Jiang Baizhi, Jiang Baizhi! Did you hear me? I asked you to come out!" Jiang Zhezhou's voice became louder and louder, with obvious anger in it.

"Come out here now! Don't force me to find someone to kick the door!" Jiang Zhezhou's voice became more and more anxious and impatient.

"Be gentle, the child is very sad!" At this time, Liu Peilan's voice sounded, with a hint of heartache and reluctance.

"She still has the nerve to be sad?! She actually plagiarized! We've worked so hard to train her for so long, how could she do such a thing!?" Jiang Zhezhou's voice was full of disbelief and disappointment.

"Alas... this, the child may have some unspeakable secret!" Liu Peilan tried to defend Jiang Baizhi, her tone full of helplessness and worry.

"What could be your excuse? Get out of my way..." Jiang Zhezhou said as he roughly pushed Liu Peilan away and continued to yell at the door: "Jiang Baizhi, if you don't come out, I'm really going to get someone to kick the door down!"

Jiang Baizhi knew very well that her father always kept his word. He wasn't just talking casually, and sooner or later, he would have to face this matter. So, she slowly stood up, took heavy steps, walked to the door, and gently opened it.

Looking at the furious Jiang Zhezhou and the worried Liu Peilan, she called out softly with a trembling voice, "Dad! Mom!"

"You still have the nerve to call me dad? Come with me!" Jiang Zhezhou shouted furiously, his voice threatening to lift the roof off the house. Without a second thought, he grabbed Jiang's mother and, without waiting for Liu Peilan to speak, dragged her straight to the living room, leaving Jiang Baizhi to follow silently behind.

When they arrived at the Jiang family's living room, Jiang's parents were sitting on the sofa, and Jiang Baizhi was standing alone in front of them. She lowered her head, not daring to look up and look them in the eye.

"Tell me, what's going on? How could you do such a thing as plagiarism?" Jiang Zhezhou asked sternly.

"I... I didn't!" Jiang Baizhi said with a choked voice, her tears kept rolling in her eyes, almost bursting out.

"It's come to this, and you're still so unrepentant? The works from the exhibition five years ago have been exposed online, and they're exactly the same as yours. You're still lying here!" Jiang Zhezhou said angrily. His voice became particularly loud because of his anger, as if he wanted to completely expose Jiang Baizhi's lies.

"I really didn't plagiarize, that really wasn't drawn by me..." Jiang Baizhi tried her best to defend herself, with a hint of grievance and helplessness in her voice.

"What did you say? It's not your painting? Then where did you get it from? It's not your painting, but you still put it on display at the exhibition. Jiang Baizhi, what can I say about you? What's the difference between this and plagiarism? It's not yours at all!" Jiang Zhezhou became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes full of disappointment.

"I, I didn't know it was shown five years ago. I really didn't know... I didn't know..." Jiang Baizhi's voice trembled more and more, tears kept rolling in her eyes, she tried hard to explain clearly.

"Regardless of whether she exhibited it five years ago, this is not your work at all. You should never have put it on display. You even claimed during the live broadcast that it was your painting. Do you know that people on the Internet are now saying that you are a liar and that you plagiarized! Do you know how much the Jiang family's stock has fallen because of this? Do you know what you have done?!" Jiang Zhezhou said with great sorrow.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it, and I really didn't want this to happen..." Jiang Baizhi burst into tears.

"What's the point of saying this now? The most important thing now is to find a way to preserve the Jiang family's reputation! You should post on Weibo now, admit that you plagiarized, and announce your permanent retirement from the entertainment industry!" Jiang Zhezhou almost ordered, his eyes full of determination.

"No! Dad, you can't do this! What should I do in the future if you do this?" Jiang Baizhi shouted in despair, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.

"Are you still thinking about what to do in the future? Don't you know clearly? If you don't admit your mistakes and don't choose to quit the circle, the entire Jiang family will be ruined! What are you still hoping for in the future?!" Jiang Zhezhou shouted emotionally.

"No, Dad, no, yes, we can ask Guangbai for help, and we can also ask the Zhao family for help, Dad, they will definitely help us." Jiang Baizhi said anxiously, her eyes full of anticipation, as if she had grabbed the last straw.

"Hehe, Zhao family, you are still thinking about the Zhao family!" Jiang Zhezhou sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Dad...what happened to the Zhao family? Guangbai..." Jiang Baizhi asked in confusion, her heart full of doubts.

"Xiaozhi, the Zhao family just called to cancel the engagement. You two have no relationship now!" Liu Peilan said reluctantly, with a hint of sadness and helplessness in her voice.

"How could this happen... I don't believe it, I absolutely don't believe it. Guangbai obviously loves me so much, this is impossible! I don't believe it! Mom, I don't believe it. I want to call him and ask him what's going on!" Jiang Baizhi shouted excitedly, her voice full of disbelief and pain, and tears burst out like a flood.

"Don't believe it? Then open your phone and check the statement issued by their company. Has it clearly stated that they will end their cooperation with us? Has it announced that they have broken off their engagement with you? Jiang Baizhi, don't you understand yet? You are in a desperate situation now. Do you know that you can't save yourself? If you quit now and issue a statement admitting your mistakes, at least you can save the Jiang family. Otherwise, we will really be left with nothing!" Every word Jiang Zhezhou said seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds, hitting Jiang Baizhi's heart heavily.

Jiang Baizhi's hands trembled as she slowly pulled out her phone, hoping against hope that something would happen. However, what caught her eye was the Zhao family's latest statement, clearly stating that they no longer had any partnership with the Jiang family, and that Zhao Guangbai had completely broken off their engagement. The moment she saw these words, Jiang Baizhi felt like she was struck by lightning. She collapsed to the ground, tears streaming uncontrollably like a broken dam. She knew clearly that all her efforts over the past two years since she entered the book had been in vain; everything had left her, vanishing into thin air.

"Xiaozhi, you..." Liu Peilan felt a little bit of pity when she saw the child who had been raised by her in her hands since childhood suffering so much.

"Don't bother with her, let her face the reality!" Jiang Zhezhou said sternly, his eyes full of disappointment and determination.

"Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu..." Jiang Baizhi cried out loudly. She raised her head through her tearful eyes and looked at Jiang Zhezhou and said, "Dad, I'm going to issue a statement to withdraw from the entertainment industry. I admit to plagiarism..."

"Okay, then send it quickly. After you send it, you can stay at home. I will send you abroad in a while, and don't come back!" After Jiang Zhezhou said this, he pulled Liu Peilan away, leaving Jiang Baizhi sitting alone in the living room, surrounded by silence and loneliness.

"Going abroad... Haha, there is no room for me anymore and they want to send me away. It's really my dear parents who don't want me to stay in the country. Haha... Haha..." Jiang Baizhi muttered to herself in the empty living room.
