Chapter 2

[Master, please complete your first mission and take back your room!]

This mission was exactly what Mei Shu wanted.

In her previous life, Mei Shu had stayed in the countryside for five years and had been deprived of food and clothing for many years. She was not even better off than a child from an ordinary family, so she had long developed an inferiority complex and cowardly personality. After she returned, other than Uncle Zhao, all the servants when his mother was alive had been changed.

Her younger brothers were also provoked by Wang Yue to hate her. Isolated and helpless, she didn’t dare to resist Mei Mu’s provocations and all kinds of unfairness. This also made Wang Yue and her mother deal with her even more unscrupulously.

Zhao Yan drove the car to the entrance of the villa. After getting out of the car, he opened the car door for Mei Shu. When he saw the stunned Mei Shu, he reminded her softly, “Missy, we’re home.”

Mei Shu came back to her senses and got out of the car. When she saw the villa in front of her, she smiled faintly.

Wang Yue, Mei Mu, I’m back!

I’ll make you pay a hundred times for everything I suffered in my previous life!

Mei Shu strolled through the door.

Seeing Mei Shu walk in with her head held high, Zhao Yan frowned in confusion. He felt that Mei Shu in front of him now was a completely different person from the one he had seen in the countryside in the afternoon.

The latter hunched over and avoided eye contact. The former, on the other hand, exuded a calm confidence as if she had been a pampered heiress living in the city all her life.

Mei Shu had just walked to the door when she heard the familiar voices in the living room. Her muscles instantly entered a combat state. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.

[Host, calm down! We haven’t gained a foothold yet. Moreover, they’re in the open while we’re in the dark. This is our advantage.]

Of course, Mei Shu knew that the game had just begun. This was a stress reaction. [Don’t worry, I know it’s not the time to fall out yet.]

Mei Shu took a deep breath and relaxed before walking into the living room.

Mei Mu saw Mei Shu roll her eyes and purse her lips. “How annoying. If the neighbors find out that a village girl came to our home, they will definitely laugh at us.”

Wang Yue gently patted Mei Mu’s arm and pretended to be angry. “What are you talking about? This is your sister.”

After saying that, she looked at Mei Shu and smiled. “Mei Shu, Mei Mu is still a child. Don’t take her words seriously. I’ve already taught her a lesson.”

Mei Shu sneered in her heart. Wang Yue was good at putting on an act. In her previous life, she had also been deceived like this in the beginning. Her father, Mei Jian, had an affair with Wang Yue before her mother got pregnant, so Mei Mu was only two months younger than her.

Mei Shu smiled and replied, “That’s right. She is only a few months younger than me, really much younger. The two-month difference is enough to distinguish between an adult and a child.”

Wang Yue’s expression froze. Only then did she notice that Mei Shu was not as timid as Old Wang, who she had sent to take care of Mei Shu, had said.

She was a little puzzled, but she quickly regained her smile.

Wang Yue skipped the topic. “You must be tired from the journey. I’ve arranged a room for you on the first floor. The third year of high school has a lot of study tasks. I think it’s good to save you some time to go downstairs.”

The first floor was all servants’ rooms. Mei Shu’s original room was on the third floor with his brothers’ rooms. Now, it was occupied by Mei Shu.

Mei Shu frowned slightly and pretended not to know. She said considerately, “No need to trouble yourself. I’ll just stay in my original room. It’s more comfortable for me that way.”

Mei Mu immediately stood up and shouted, “That’s my room. Don’t be shameless and try to occupy it!”

When Wang Yue saw her daughter’s impatient look, she pulled Mei Mu’s arm and secretly gave her a look. When she saw that Mei Mu had stopped talking, she said softly, “Mei Shu, your father is still counting on you to get into the number one university in the country. Don’t let him down. I’ve seen your academic results. They’re all from the bottom. You have to study every minute and second.”

These were naturally Wang Yue’s excuses. Her reasons were especially warm and considerate. However, there were only three months left until the college entrance examination. Under normal circumstances, in towns with poor educational resources, Mei Shu was already from the bottom. How could she get into a key university in such a short period of time? She might not even be able to get into a specialized school.

Everyone knew this reality, but Wang Yue’s every word seemed to be for Mei Shu’s own good. No one could find fault with her.

In his previous life, Mei Shu couldn’t see through Wang Yue’s methods and couldn’t find any words to refute. She didn’t dare to refute and obediently moved in.

Mei Shu was still not angry in this life. She replied calmly, “Mei Mu, that’s my room. I’ve lived there for 12 years, a few more years than you. You don’t actually think that you’ve been living there since you were a child, do you?”

Seeing that Mei Mu was about to flare up again but was stopped by Wang Yue, Mei Shu chuckled. “Auntie, with my academic results, I don’t mind wasting half a minute going up and down the stairs. You’re so considerate of me. Don’t tell me you won’t even let me stay in my room?”

Wang Yue looked at Mei Shu’s obedient appearance and the corners of her lips turned a little stiff. Thinking that as long as she pretended for another three months and managed to get the inheritance of Mei Shu’s mother, Bai Ling, she could dispose of these b*stards as she pleased, she suppressed her anger. “Of course not. Auntie does everything for your own good. Since you want to live in your own room, of course it’s fine, but…”

Mei Shu didn’t want to watch Wang Yue put on a virtuous act again. She turned around and instructed the butler and the other servants standing behind him, “Did you hear that? Hurry up and go upstairs to empty my room. I’m exhausted from the car ride. I still have to rest!”

This scene made Mei Mu stomp her feet in anger. Wang Yue could only suppress her anger and ask the servants to move Mei Mu’s things to a guest room on the second floor.

[Congratulations, Master, for completing the mission perfectly! +10 points. You have received a newbie gift bag reward!]

Seeing Wang Yue and her daughter suffer, Mei Shu was in an especially good mood. Coupled with the surprise of the big gift bag, Mei Shu asked with her mind, “What’s inside?”

Little Eight replied happily, [Activating a Random Blind Box, activating the Points Exchange Module, and lighting up the Hercules skill.]

[…Activation can also be considered a reward?! So the only reward is just an increase in strength, right?]

Little Eight felt a little guilty when it heard Mei Shu’s question. It used this kind of speech art to better motivate the host. [Master, our system is more advanced, so it’s more difficult to activate it. I’ll go for a meeting first. I’ll contact you later.]
