Qiu Liqin glanced at Mu Ling’s gloves, then said, “Why are you wearing gloves on such a hot day? Take it off, you’ll burn from the heat.”

“Thank you, I’m used to it.” Mu Ling said softly. Her tone was a little reserved, and her beautiful eyes were lowered. She was extremely obedient.

Her behavior made Qiu Liqin, who was on high alert, relax a little. Hmm, not bad! She could finally put her heart at ease.

“All of you should go home. I’ll take care of Shihe in the hospital. Even if there’s a big problem, we’ll have to wait until the funeral is over… Ah Feng, you should send the child home.”

“Yes, Madam,” Uncle Feng the butler replied.

Mu Ling knew very well that after the funeral, this affable-looking Auntie would force her to sign a declaration of forsaking her father’swill. The politeness now was just to pave the way for the ugly face that was about to come. But it was nothing. There was still a long way to go… She could take her time to deal with these people!

After leaving the hospital, the Mu family’s children all got into a business car. The eldest daughter, Mu Wan, and second daughter, Mu Shi, sat in the middle of the row, while Mu Ling and the youngest, Mu Xin, sat in the back.

On the way back to the Mu family estate, Mu Wan glanced at the back row with disdain and mocked, “Village girl, this must be the first time in your life that you’ve sat in such a luxurious car!”

Mu Ling remained silent.

“Let me ask you, do you people in the countryside smell feces everywhere?”

“Also, will the chickens, ducks, and geese in your village run into bed and sleep with you?”

“I’ve heard that the people in the countryside all have fleas, do you have any? If there are any, please stay away from us. Don’t get fleas on us, we’re not like you!”

Mu Wan’s every word couldn’t leave the topic of rural people.

Hearing her words, Mu Xin, who was sitting at the back with Mu Ling, immediately shifted and said in disdain, “Don’t tell me you really have fleas on your body? You stinky farmer, stay away from me!”

Although Mu Xin was only eight years old, she had grown up in the Mu family’s environment and had already revealed her vicious and arrogant personality.

“Did you go to school?” Mu Wan continued to mock. “Do you know how to read? You know Arabic numbers, right?”

Mu Ling was annoyed, but she maintained her smile and replied obediently, “Big sister, I live on an island! There are no chickens, ducks, and geese on the island, and I don’t have fleas on my body. Besides, I’ve been to school.”

“Hmph! Islands are also villages!” Mu Wan especially hated this village girl. When her father’s funeral was over, she would definitely kick her out!

Uncle Feng, who was driving, looked at the ladies in the back through the rearview mirror. His gaze finally fell on Mu Ling. After being ridiculed so many times, miss Mu Ling’s expression remained the same. If it was someone else, they would either be angry from embarrassment or cry. Uncle Feng was already in his sixties and had worked for the Mu family for forty years. He had seen all kinds of people and had some ability to read people. The most obedient and weak miss Mu Ling was actually a very smart child. She knew her position and situation in the Mu family, so she did not choose to confront her directly. He could only wait for an opportunity to act by enduring the humiliation. He felt that this child had a bright future.

The car fell silent for a moment. Mu Wan hated this kind of atmosphere, so she ordered uncle Feng to turn on the radio. However, uncle Feng accidentally turned on the radio, and it happened to be broadcasting a piece of news.

The radio host said, “emergency news, today at 16.30 pm, flight kN819 from Jing city to Shun city suddenly crashed. There were a total of 100 passengers and crew members on the plane. As of now, the number of people killed is still rising. The specific cause of the crash is still under investigation. Preliminary judgment is that it was caused by the internal fire of the wing.”

“Who wants to listen to this news?” Mu Wan unhappily replied. “Hurry up and play some music for me!”

Uncle Feng turned off the radio and turned it on.

However, no one noticed that Mu Ling’s expression changed slightly when he heard the news. She didn’t know if the owner of the antique store listened to her.

When he returned to the Mu family, the sky was already dark.

When they alighted from the car, the 8 year old Mu Xin took the opportunity to pull on Mu Ling’s gloves.

“I don’t like the gloves. They’re so ugly!”

“But I quite like it,” Mu Ling said with a smile, but there was a hint of coldness in her eyes.

“I hate it! It’s black and too ugly! It’s because your hands are too ugly that you don’t dare to show them to others!” Mu Xin said with malice.

Her hands were ugly? Of course not! Mu Ling’s hand was slender and white, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it with any fancy words.

“You’re not allowed to wear gloves in front of me in the future. Otherwise, I’ll burn it!” Mu Xin’s eyes were filled with viciousness that did not match her age.
