When Mu Chen came home, exhausted, he saw Ye Xin sitting on the couch in the living room watching the television. He stood by the entrance and closed his eyes, inhaling deeply.

Song Ning had never spent much time watching television. She was too busy, after all. The moment she got off work, she would check Jiang Jin’s pulse, cook delicious food for the family, and worry if Cheng Che was eating and sleeping enough while he worked overtime. When she was around, the house would be bustling and voices of family and helpers calling out ‘Song Ning’ or ‘Young Madam’ would ring in the air frequently.

When Mu Chen walked closer, he discovered the impostor was watching ‘Yi Yao’. However, it was the version that starred Ye Xin. He could not help but sneer as he asked, “You can even watch a show like that?”

Ye Xin turned around in surprise and said with a smile, “You’re back!”

Mu Chen did not say anything. As expected, after meeting that person, she no longer called him hubby and became calm. He said coldly, “Watch another show..”

Ye Xin blinked her eyes innocently. “What’s wrong? It’s quite good. I’ve acted in the movie before. Did you forget?”

Mu Chen stared at her and said, “Can this lousy version be compared to the movie? In terms of acting, you’re high above her. In terms of looks, she can’t even compare to you. What ‘Little Ning Xia’? This show and the company lost so much money because they had a terrible taste and cast such an actress who’s nothing but a cheap imitation of the real thing.”

Ye Xin felt as though her heart had been ruthlessly stabbed by these words. It hurt so much that she trembled involuntarily. “Mu Chen, do you really hate Ye Xin so much? She’s your childhood friend; she grew up together with you!”

Mu Chen’s sneer deepened as he said mockingly, “How many times have I explained this to you? Her brother and I were classmates since we were in kindergarten. After that, we went abroad to study. When we were in a foreign country, our relationship eased. On the other hand, the number of times I’ve met Ye Xin and the number of times I’ve spoken to her since we were young can be counted with one hand. How did we become childhood friends? The whole ‘childhood friend’ thing was created by that shameless woman. All she dreams about is marrying into the Mu family and becoming the Young Madam of the Mu family. Well, she can only dream! I’ve explained this to you so many times. How can you forget about it?”

Ye Xin’s body trembled even more. Her face was pale as she blurted out, “But you originally wanted to marry her, right? If she didn’t say no, the current Young Madam of the Mu family would’ve been her!”

Mu Chen sneered. “It was only because I was in desperate need to find someone to play the role since Grandma was seriously ill at that time. Fortunately, that stupid woman didn’t know how to grasp that opportunity. Song Ning, don’t you agree?” He heavily emphasized the words ‘Song Ning’.

Ye Xin was in a daze. She felt as though her heart had been reduced to ashes.

As Mu Chen made his way upstairs, he said, “You’re Song Ning, the Young Madam of the Mu family. How can you watch this woman’s show? Don’t tell me you admire her? Don’t you think you’re degrading yourself? That woman is now locked up in a mental hospital. Do you know she’s not actually crazy? It’s just that her brother dislikes her. After all, if she continues causing trouble, Ye Cheng’s career will be ruined. The Ye family values sons over daughters. Moreover, Ye Cheng has worked so hard.. How could he allow his troublesome sister to ruin his career? Moreover, that woman is Madam Ye’s illegitimate daughter with another person.”
