Mo Qingchuan did not dare to ask more.
He was afraid that if he asked one more question,
It would touch his junior sister's sorrow.
He couldn't bear to see his junior sister cry.
Nor could he bear to see his junior sister feel sad for others.
His heart was filled with anger and confusion.
In the end, all his words turned into concerns.
By the time Ming Zheng emerged from the "Mo Space," the sky had already begun to brighten with the dawn.
She checked the time.
She had actually chatted with her fifth senior brother in the "Mo Space" for over three hours.
Fortunately...
She had summoned her courage, not wanting to repeat the mistakes of her past life, and logged into the "Mo Space" website.
This gave her the opportunity to meet her fifth senior brother.
This frank conversation had resolved her inner turmoil.
It also gave her the courage to return to the past, to be by the side of those who were truly her family.
This, then, was the meaning of her rebirth.

Golden sunlight streamed through a floor-to-ceiling glass window.
A tall, slender figure leaned against the window, his long, striking legs slightly bent, with a black laptop resting on them.
His silhouette cast a long shadow in the sunlight.
He stared intently at the laptop screen.
For a long, long time.
He placed the laptop on the floor, stood up, picked up his phone from the coffee table, and dialed a number.
On the computer screen.
A black door was slowly closing.
Through it, the words "Mo Sect" could be faintly seen, flickering.
In the spacious and luxurious hall, only the man's chilling voice echoed in the air.
"I've seen Ah Zheng."
"Although Ah Zheng stopped me, as her senior brother, I must get justice for her."
"If Ah Zheng hadn't suffered such immense grievances in the Ming family, she would never have given up on them, nor would she have been so utterly disappointed."
"I'm going to Summer Country."
-
Ming Zheng was awakened by the ringing of her phone.
Her ringtone was a song sung by a deep-voiced man. The beautiful melody and elegant lyrics were particularly pleasant in his low voice.
In her past life, she had thought so.
But now, hearing that voice.
Ming Zheng felt a visceral revulsion.
That deep-voiced man was the Ming family's second young master—Ming Huaizhi, the current sensation in Summer Country.
This song was his proudly proclaimed original work, composed by the Ming family's renowned Summer Country musician, the fourth young master Ming Weizhou, and with lyrics penned by himself.
It was also this song that allowed him to land the leading role in a film that a famous director had spent eight years preparing.
And it made him the youngest actor to win Best Actor in Summer Country.
In her past life, she had craved the love of the Ming family too much.
She had even set Ming Huaizhi's song as her ringtone.
She still remembered...
When Ming Huaizhi heard that she had used his song as her ringtone, he had said with utter disdain and disgust, "Change this song immediately. Rou'er will be unhappy if she hears it."
"Don't ever let me hear you using my song as your ringtone again. It makes me sick."
"Don't taint my song."
...
These disgusting memories of her past life resurfaced in Ming Zheng's mind.
The annoyance of being woken up, coupled with the nauseating ringtone, instantly made Ming Zheng furious.
"You better have something important to say, or Dad will beat you up!"
On the other end of the phone.
In a spacious and bright office.
A middle-aged man with a paunch and receding hairline, dressed in a suit, was stunned by this irate and cold voice.
The phone was on speaker.
The girl's voice was clearly heard by everyone in the office.
Ming Father and Ming Mother's faces instantly darkened.
After being raised in the Ming family for a year, she was still so ill-bred!
What kind of misfortune had they brought upon themselves to have such an unpresentable biological daughter?
How wonderful it would be if Rou'er were their biological daughter!
The more they thought about it, the more gloomy Ming Father and Ming Mother's expressions became.
They tapped the table, signaling the middle-aged man to get to the point.
The middle-aged man came back to his senses, his expression also turning grim, "Ming Zheng, I am the dean of Ousheng Academy. I am officially informing you that you—have been expelled."
Ousheng Academy was the aristocratic school the Ming family had arranged for Ming Zheng after she returned to them.
It was different from schools like Imperial Capital Academy, which focused on both academics and martial arts; it was an institution for ordinary students.
After placing her there, the Ming family worried that her revealing her identity would cause other wealthy families to gossip about Ming Zhirou and hurt her feelings.
Therefore, they had ordered her not to reveal her identity.
It was easy to imagine.
As a "country girl" with no power or influence in the eyes of outsiders, what kind of treatment would she receive in an aristocratic academy where everything was a competition?
And for the sake of the Ming family, to avoid causing them trouble, she had to endure the humiliation from other nobles.
A hint of self-mocking coldness flickered in Ming Zheng's eyes. Her voice remained calm and unperturbed as she uttered a simple "Oh."
Then, she hung up the phone.
She no longer had any reservations.
And she had never intended to stay in that useless academy anyway.
However, it was rather interesting...
That she, a "common country girl," had warranted a personal phone call from the dean of Ousheng Academy to inform her of her expulsion.
Her parents, Ming Father and Ming Mother, must have had a hand in this.
-
That indifferent "Oh" once again stunned the dean of Ousheng.
Ming Father and Ming Mother also froze for a second.
They had planned to use her expulsion to make Ming Zheng realize that without them, she was nothing.
This was intended to force Ming Zheng to return and admit her mistakes.
Of course, their reason for forcing Ming Zheng back was not because they missed her.
Rather—
They wanted Ming Zheng to publicly admit to the dean of Imperial Capital Academy that she had altered Ling Zhirou's admission letter and torn it up.
They intended to hand Ming Zheng over, allowing Imperial Capital Academy to reissue a letter to Ling Zhirou.
They had not expected Ming Zheng to react this way!
This enraged Ming Father and Ming Mother, who were accustomed to Ming Zheng's submissiveness and groveling. They wished they could kill Ming Zheng on the spot.
Their daughter was a debt collector! A jinx to the Ming family!
They shouldn't have brought her back in the first place!
With the expulsion tactic failing to work,
They couldn't locate Ming Zheng at the moment.
Ming Father clenched his fists, cracking sounds echoing, a murderous aura emanating from him.
His phone suddenly vibrated.
He looked down at the incoming message.
Then he grabbed Ming Mother's hand, "The dean of Imperial Capital Academy is at Imperial Capital Academy right now. Let's take Rou'er to Imperial Capital Academy and explain things directly to the dean!"
This one admission letter to Imperial Capital Academy.
Their Ming family had to obtain it!
This was not just Ming Zhirou's future.
It was also a stepping stone for their Ming family to reach even greater heights in Xia Du!
-
After hanging up on the dean of Ousheng, Ming Zheng felt much more clear-headed.
After logging off from "Mo Space" in the early morning, she had fallen back asleep.
It was now ten-thirty in the morning.
She lazily got up from the sofa, intending to wash up.
Her phone rang again.
That annoying ringtone almost made her lose control and throw her phone.
She took a deep breath.
Without even looking, she quickly answered the call.
"Hey~ baby, have you considered joining our Imperial Capital Academy yet?"
