Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Gu Muxue's mutterings were very soft, but Xue Rui still managed to catch a few words.

He looked closely and saw that Gu Muxue's cheeks were flushed and her eyes were full of anger.

Xue Rui was taken aback; he had never seen Gu Muxue so angry with anyone other than him.

The reason was simply because he had been wronged...

Xue Rui looked at Gu Muxue with a very gentle gaze.

The feeling of being protected by a girl...

Hmm, it's pretty good.

But soon, Xue Rui realized something else: Gu Muxue was very angry, which was an outward manifestation of her possessiveness.

This might not be a good thing for someone who tries to have their cake and eat it too.

The two quickly arrived at Xue Yao's door. Xue Rui grasped Gu Muxue's wrist and whispered, "..."
"How about we just forget about it? It's only a thousand or two yuan. Consider it a New Year's gift for her."

Xue Rui knew his younger sister was stubborn, and it would be troublesome if she got into a fight with Gu Muxue.

Gu Muxue did not respond and knocked on the door directly.

"dong dong dong~"

"The door isn't locked," Xue Yao replied from inside.

After Gu Muxue entered the room, Xue Rui wanted to follow her in, but Gu Muxue locked the door from the outside.

Xue Rui was very nervous. He leaned over the door and listened quietly, intending to say a few words to calm things down when the two started arguing.

However, even as Xue Rui's neck grew sore, the room remained quiet, with only Xue Yao occasionally muttering to herself, but no one heard Gu Muxue speak.

inside the room.

Xue Yao started a custom game and was admiring her newly obtained limited skin with great interest. She then took a screenshot and posted it on her QQ space to show off to her younger brothers at school.

Xue Yao didn't pay much attention to Gu Muxue's arrival. As usual, she stroked the little cloth in her arms and occasionally stepped on the big yellow dog's belly with her foot.

However, this time Xue Yao stomped her toes on the ground again and again, but still couldn't find Da Huang.

She looked down to search, and the fluffy little cloth in her arms jumped down instantly, curling up on Gu Muxue's lap, rubbing its head against Gu Muxue's body, looking very content.

Da Huang obediently lay down at Gu Muxue's feet, its tail swaying gently.

Xue Yao was depressed by the "betrayal" of her two pets.

Gu Muxue remained silent, simply gazing quietly into Xue Yao's eyes.

Xue Yao was about to speak when she noticed that her sister-in-law was in a bad mood and had lost her smile.

"What's wrong, sister-in-law? Did my brother make you angry?" Xue Yao asked with a smile.

"I want to have a chat with you." Gu Muxue's tone was flat, her voice devoid of any emotion.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at the big yellow dog that was rubbing against her leg.

Dogs are very intelligent and often more sensitive than humans, able to sense emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.

Dahuang and Gu Muxue exchanged a glance, then obediently sat on the ground, their tails wagging more slowly, as if they knew they couldn't please Gu Muxue.

Xue Yao's heart tightened. Her sister-in-law always had a smile in her eyes, giving everyone a feeling of a gentle spring breeze. Being with Gu Muxue was always comfortable.

But today was different; Gu Muxue didn't smile.

Who exactly offended Gu Muxue?

"Sister-in-law, what do you want?"

Xue Yao still had a playful smile, but it was a little stiff, revealing her nervousness.

Gu Muxue openly scrutinized Xue Yao's posture from head to toe.

Xue Yao leaned back in her chair, one foot resting on the cushion, looking exactly like Xue Rui…

"Sister-in-law, say something!"

Xue Yao swallowed nervously, her anxiety growing.

Gu Muxue only looked at her for a short while, but it made her restless, giving her the illusion that she had made a mistake and was being criticized by the teacher.

Xue Yao subconsciously sat up straight in the chair, adjusted it to face Gu Muxue, and carefully watched Gu Muxue's expression.

Xue Yao noticed that shortly after she turned around, Gu Muxue's gaze softened considerably.

"Whoo~"

Xue Yao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was indeed a problem with her posture.

Gu Muxue remained silent, and Xue Yao's heart remained in suspense.

The invisible pressure always made people anxious and uneasy. Xue Yao's palms were slightly sweaty, and she lost interest in the new skin she had just received.

Xue Yao just wants to know when she offended Gu Muxue.
She went through all the mistakes she had made...

"Sister-in-law, it was my fault for not informing you when Lin Ruoxi arrived," Xue Yao said tentatively.

Gu Muxue shook her head, looking very disappointed. She picked up Xiaobu and walked straight towards the door.

“Sister-in-law, if there’s anything I did wrong, just tell me and I’ll definitely change.”

Xue Yao hurriedly stopped Gu Muxue.

The unknown is frightening, especially since Xue Yao knew very well that Gu Muxue was specifically targeting her.

She wasn't sure what Gu Muxue would do after she went out, and stopping Gu Muxue was even an unconscious act.

Xue Rui, standing outside the door, was completely bewildered, having no idea what was happening inside.

Gu Muxue didn't say anything, so why is Xue Yao constantly apologizing?
Is this still my own sister?

……

Inside the room, Gu Muxue's lips curled up slightly. She had achieved her goal. Xue Yao's psychological defenses had already collapsed. She only needed to be gentle, and Xue Yao would listen.

"Yaoyao, is gaming more important than family?" Gu Muxue asked.

Xue Yao didn't understand what it meant, but she would never get this kind of easy question wrong. She shook her head sharply: "Of course family is more important."

Gu Muxue smiled gently and said, "Yaoyao, you have such a good brother, it's truly enviable."

"What's so good about him? You don't know..." Xue Yao subconsciously belittled him, but then noticed Gu Muxue's expression change, so she quickly changed her words:
"Yes, my brother is really good."

"I've never had any playmates since I was little, and I never had anyone to talk to at home after school..."

Gu Muxue didn't criticize Xue Yao for anything; she simply compared herself to Xue Yao.

"Your brother knew you were cheating, but he still gave you the money he promised, right?" Gu Muxue asked.

Xue Yao lowered her head, a strange sense of guilt rising in her heart.

"it's me……"

“It was your brother who was wrong,” Gu Muxue interrupted.

Xue Yao looked surprised, wondering if Gu Muxue was being sarcastic.
"Yaoyao, getting something for nothing will destroy your values, and that will ruin you."

"Your brother spoils you too much, but have you ever thought about why he would spoil you if you weren't related to him by blood?"

Gu Muxue patiently guided him.

"Um…"

……

After a brief explanation, Gu Muxue nodded in satisfaction: "So, do you know what to do now?"

"I..." Xue Yao looked at her Q coin balance and was at a loss for words.

Gu Muxue meant for her to return the money to her brother, but she had no money left...

She looked at Gu Muxue nervously, trying hard to recall what Gu Muxue had said before.

That's right! The key point is "getting something for nothing".

Gu Muxue is not a stingy person. On the contrary, Gu Muxue has always been very generous to her, and the gifts she gives her are all quite valuable. It's not like she would go to such lengths to find her for a thousand yuan.

It must be for her own good...

But Xue Yao felt that things were not that simple. Was it really just about educating her?

After a period of internal struggle, Xue Yao felt a headache coming on.

Why can't she be like Lin Ruoxi, who can get help with housework with just a few sweet words? "Yaoyao?" Gu Muxue spoke again.

"I'll go cook and wash the dishes right away."

Xue Yao rushed out the door, afraid that Gu Muxue would say something else.

The moment the door opened, Xue Yao and Xue Rui bumped into each other.

Xue Yao clutched her chest and glared fiercely at Xue Rui.

Xue Rui chuckled awkwardly; he'd been caught eavesdropping after all…

Xue Yao wanted to scold Xue Rui, but she swallowed the words back, because Gu Muxue was listening from behind!
She suppressed her emotions and said, "Brother, I'll go cook. You can chat with my sister-in-law."

After walking around Xue Rui, Xue Yao gently patted her chest and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Compared to the oppressive feeling of being with Gu Muxue, even doing manual labor felt like a relief.

Xue Rui stared blankly at Xue Yao's departing figure, scratching his head for a long time.

Xue Rui really couldn't understand it.

My usually competitive younger sister actually took the initiative to apologize to someone...

When he turned to look at Gu Muxue again, his eyes were full of admiration.

Anyone can spout grand principles, but the key is getting children to listen.

Xue Rui didn't know what methods Gu Muxue used, but the fact that she could get his lazy sister to cook on her own showed how clever her educational methods were.

Strict mothers and kind fathers often produce loyal and filial children, while strict fathers and kind mothers often spoil their children.

The highest level of parenting is to make children realize their mistakes without hitting or scolding them.

In Xue Rui's opinion, Gu Muxue will definitely be an excellent mother in the future.

With a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?

Gu Muxue walked up to Xue Rui and waved in front of him: "Xiao Rui, what are you daydreaming about?"

Xue Rui snapped out of his daze, grabbed Gu Muxue's face, and kissed her.
"It's so beautiful, I'm stunned."

Gu Muxue blushed, clenched her small fist and lightly punched Xue Rui's chest, scolding him playfully, "All you do is talk big."

"I'm telling the truth, you look exceptionally beautiful and intelligent today," Xue Rui said sincerely.

"Hehe~"

Gu Muxue felt a sweet warmth in her heart. She tiptoed and gently touched Xue Rui's cheek with her red lips: "Let go of me, I'm going to the kitchen to cook."

"You shouldn't go. My kitchen can't fit so many people." Xue Rui hugged him even tighter.

In Xue Rui's opinion, Gu Muxue didn't need to be overly attentive.

Lin Ruoxi is a "cursing queen," so there's no need for Gu Muxue to follow suit.

“Xiao Rui, Yao Yao rarely cooks a meal. If I just sit here with you, she will feel resentful. Setting a good example is the best way to educate her.”

Xue Rui's eyes widened instantly; Gu Muxue was thinking further ahead than him.

“I’ll go with you,” Xue Rui said.

"The kitchen can't hold so many people, young master, you should rest and wait for dinner," Gu Muxue said, pinching Xue Rui's cheek.

Xue Rui: ……

At dinner time, the whole family gathered together.

Ren Qunfang pointed to a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes with a smile in her eyes: "Everyone, try it, Yao Yao made it."

"Yaoyao, did you make this?" Xue Xiaying asked with a look of surprise.

"The child has grown up and become sensible," Grandma praised.

Everyone praised him.

Ren Qunfang looked at Gu Muxue with tender eyes, becoming more and more satisfied with her.

How could I not know what kind of person my daughter is, after raising her for over ten years?
He usually dawdles, but today he actually volunteered to cook.

That's rare, extremely rare.

As for the reason, Xue Rui had told her that it was all thanks to Gu Muxue.

Xue Jianfeng looked smug and whispered to Ren Qunfang, "See? I told you the Gu family's daughter was well-educated."

"She's not your daughter, what are you so smug about?" Ren Qunfang retorted.

“That’s wrong. After Mu Xue marries into our family, she’ll have to call us Mom and Dad,” Xue Jianfeng kept urging.

Ren Qunfang looked very conflicted. If Gu Muxue was to marry into the family, where would Lin Ruoxi go?
The two girls have very different personalities. Gu Muxue is good at managing the household, while Lin Ruoxi is good at taking care of people.

It would be great if we could complement each other...

Suddenly, an idea popped into her head: Why don't we just marry into the family together?
No, no, how could you think like that?
"Have a meal."

Ren Qunfang shook her head, quickly dismissing the terrible idea.

Xue Rui picked up a piece of egg with his chopsticks, and as he chewed, his expression turned ugly.

The eggs tasted strange, and even a bit fishy.

Xue Rui, whose palate had been spoiled by Lin Ruoxi, found it difficult to swallow for a moment.

Gu Muxue also took a bite, her expression changed slightly, and she swallowed what was in her mouth. She whispered to Xue Rui, "Swallow it, praise her, she needs positive feedback now."

Xue Rui was very impressed. After gritting his teeth and swallowing, he praised, "It's delicious."

Those four simple words caused Xue Rui's conscience to ache.

Xue Jianfeng also took a bite, and said in a tactful tone, "It looks pretty good, but if the oil temperature is too low, the eggs will become hard and fishy. It's best to wait until the oil is almost smoking before adding the eggs."

Xue Jianfeng wasn't incapable of giving praise; rather, he felt that Xue Yao had received enough praise and needed to tone it down a bit.

Xue Yao felt her enthusiasm dampened, and pouting, she picked up her chopsticks: "I won't make it next time."

"This kid."

Xue Jianfeng's lips twitched. His parenting had been a complete failure; Xue Yao could only listen to kind words.

"I think it's alright. It's not easy to do this on your first attempt."

Gu Muxue said softly, as she picked up another large mouthful of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Xue Rui frowned as he looked at it.

Mu Xue, is it really necessary to go to such lengths to win over your sister-in-law?
As Xue Yao watched Gu Muxue pick up food with her chopsticks one after another, she couldn't help but wonder if her father was just too picky.

So she took a bite herself.

The next second, her expression was exactly the same as Xue Rui's before.

Xue Yao's pupils dilated in shock. Gu Muxue had gone to such lengths to consider her feelings; she was so gentle...

"Sister-in-law, why don't you eat something else?"

Xue Yao took the initiative to serve Gu Muxue some other dishes.

"Yaoyao, Uncle is a professional chef, and what he said makes sense. Next time, let's make it even better so he can't find fault with it. Who says we can't do it well?" Gu Muxue encouraged.

"Okay!" Xue Yao nodded.

Xue Rui's pupils dilated in shock. Just a second ago, Xue Yao had said, "I won't do it again," but now, with just one sentence from Gu Muxue, she had changed her mind again...

Can't you understand such a simple provocation tactic?
No, he definitely understands, he just prefers to listen to Gu Muxue.

It could even be described as compliance.

Soon, Xue Rui understood the reason.

Gu Muxue kept eating the dishes Xue Yao cooked; her actions spoke louder than empty praise.

Lead by example?
Or is it about manipulating people's hearts?

Xue Rui smiled helplessly, picked up his chopsticks, shoveled all the remaining food from the plate into his bowl, and ate his rice with gusto.

Xue Yao said sarcastically, "Brother, stop pretending with me. If you can't eat, don't force yourself."

Xue Rui sneered, "I just wanted to spare your sister-in-law some suffering." (End of Chapter)
