Transmigrated Into a Book: The Villain I Raised Is Plotting Against Me! - Chapter 2

At this moment, Mu Chen directly picked up Mu Suru and walked around Xia Qian without giving her a single glance.

Mu Suru nestled in the embrace that filled her with a sense of security, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Even though she cried to intensify Mu Chen’s anger towards Xia Qian.

But… no matter what, she’s an adult now, yet she still cries like a child…

“Hic… hic…”

Mu Suru was troubled. She suspected that the original host was a crybaby, as she couldn’t stop the tears and kept hiccuping from crying.

Um… It hurts so much~

Mu Chen heard the soft hiccuping coming from his arms, mixed with a heavy nasal sound, and his heart ached.

Mu Chen knew that Ru Tuan was very afraid of pain, so sharp objects were never allowed near her.

But this time, she still got hurt. Seeing her crying so badly, it must hurt a lot!

Mu Chen looked at the wound on Mu Suru’s calf, which had already scarred over into a ghastly mark. His handsome brows furrowed, and he quickened his pace.

Downstairs,

Mu An, dressed in a casual outfit, lay on the sofa with his legs crossed.

His long, elegant fingers held a cup of tea, and a rare sense of ease was evident on his handsome face.

The hurried footsteps on the stairs caught his attention.

“What’s going on? Why are you in such a hurry to go downstairs…”

A trace of annoyance flashed through Mu An’s peach blossom eyes.

The rare peaceful atmosphere was disrupted, how could he not be upset?

Mu An’s pupils contracted slightly, and the teacup in his hand was heavily dropped onto the small table.

Tea splashed everywhere, with some spilling onto his pant leg, wetting it slightly.

But Mu An didn’t care. He stepped forward to block the tall figure: “What’s wrong with Ru Tuan?”

The figure was Mu Chen, who was tightly holding Mu Suru in his arms.

Hearing that clear voice, a sense of familiarity rose in Mu Suru’s heart.

She looked up at Mu An, and the concern in his eyes warmed her heart.

In that world, she had no parents, she had fought for everything on her own.

So Mu Suru was envious that the original host, who shared her name, had such good brothers.

Unfortunately, because of her love for a man she shouldn’t have loved, all of that was destroyed!

The romance between the male lead, Yao Yuan, and Xia Qian is about to begin.

She needed to find an opportunity to build up her power, so she wouldn’t be taken down early!

Mu Suru’s doe-like, tearful eyes softened Mu An’s heart.

He noticed Mu Suru’s reddened eyes and the tip of her nose, which was obviously from crying, and his voice immediately deepened: “What happened?”

Mu Chen briefly explained the situation, and Mu An’s face was full of disbelief.

“Brother, Qian’er, she…”

“Didn’t you see Ru Tuan is hurt? Get the first aid kit!”

Mu Chen interrupted him directly, not wanting to hear his excuses.

Hearing this, Mu An hurried to bring the dedicated first aid kit.

He dipped a cotton swab in disinfectant and gently applied it to the wound on Mu Suru’s calf.

Although the wound had already scarred over, Mu Suru still felt a sharp pain.

To Mu Suru, this pain seemed magnified infinitely.

She couldn’t help but turn pale, and cold sweat formed on her forehead.

Mu Chen, feeling heartbroken, urged Mu An repeatedly: “Hurry up, why are you moving so slowly? Can’t you see Ru Tuan is in pain?”

Mu An: “…”

Is he really my brother?

Despite his words, Mu An quickly finished his task.

He then took out a cute little pig-themed bandage and carefully placed it on the wound.

Mu An felt like this was simply too unbearable, especially with this god of wrath standing by, fearing he might hurt Mu Suru.

Mu Suru felt that her calf no longer hurt as much.

She pushed at Mu Chen, trying to get him to put her down.

Mu Chen felt the soft push of her small hand and understood Ru Tuan’s intention.

Reluctantly, he carefully placed her on the sofa.

His actions were so gentle that it was as if Mu Suru was a fragile item, making her laugh and cry at the same time.

So Mu Suru playfully made a funny face, making them all burst into laughter.

The tense atmosphere was broken, and amid the cheerful laughter, Mu Suru suddenly remembered their fates.

Big brother Mu Chen’s Mu Group gradually went bankrupt under the male lead Yao Yuan’s attacks, and he was imprisoned on charges of corruption.

Second brother Mu An, whose hands were as beautiful as those kissed by angels, had to have one amputated after a car accident orchestrated by someone, destroying his dream of becoming a musician. He eventually died in despair.

No matter what, since Mu Suru had become the original host, she would protect them from now on!

She would change this ending!

Mu Chen’s deep and stern voice rang out: “It’s almost time for dinner. Aunt Li, go and call Xia Qian down.”

Aunt Li responded, then looked at Mu Suru with a glance full of pity before heading upstairs.

Xia Qian was anxiously pacing in front of Mu Suru’s bedroom door.

What should I do?!

It’s been six months since she was brought into the Mu family, and only by acting cute and innocent did she manage to gain the acceptance of the highly guarded Mu Chen and Mu An.

But this misstep could directly ruin the image Xia Qian had painstakingly built!

For no other reason than that Mu Suru was their little princess, cherished in the palm of their hands!

“Miss Xia, the young master wants you to come down for dinner!”

Aunt Li looked at Xia Qian with a blank expression, but if one looked closely, one could see the flash of anger in her cloudy eyes.

Aunt Li had been with this family for ten years, having watched the young lady grow up little by little.

Seeing the little girl looking so aggrieved broke her heart.

Naturally, she didn’t have a good expression for Xia Qian, who caused the young lady to look like this.

Xia Qian suppressed the grim expression on her face and meekly replied, “Okay, Aunt Li, I’ll be right down.”

After receiving her reply, Aunt Li left immediately.

Xia Qian’s sharp nails dug deeply into her flesh.

The pain reminded her of the bullying she experienced at the orphanage, memories that remained vivid in her mind.

“Hey, isn’t this the poor little orphan nobody wants?”

“Tch, I heard her mom ran off with some random guy, and her dad remarried some other woman. Her stepmother didn’t treat her well and sent her here!”

“That’s pitiful. Hey, ugly duckling, this piece of bread is for you, no need to thank me!”

From that moment on, Xia Qian learned to put on a facade, using a sweet smile to block everything out.

And because of that, she finally reached where she is now.

She wouldn’t allow herself to lose everything she had gained!

Xia Qian’s eyes were filled with thick darkness, and her pale lips made her look extremely eerie.

The enormous amethyst chandelier sparkled with brilliant light, and the long white jade table was filled with many exquisite dishes.

Mu Suru’s eyes gleamed with desire as she looked at her favorite spicy chicken cubes.

Seeing the maids setting out the dishes and her brothers heading off to wash their hands, Mu Suru climbed onto a white jade chair.

She stared longingly at the spicy chicken cubes she had been craving.

In Mu Suru’s previous world, she couldn’t eat spicy food due to her poor health and could only eat bland porridge.

But she was obsessed with spicy foods.

Now that she finally had a healthy body and saw her favorite spicy chicken cubes, she almost started drooling.

In an instant, a pair of chopsticks as white as jade picked up a tender, juicy piece of chicken.

Mu Suru’s eyes followed the movement of the chopsticks.

The hand holding the chopsticks, whiter than the chopsticks themselves, brought the spicy chicken to her mouth.

Mu Suru beamed and opened her mouth to take a bite.

But as soon as she bit down, there was a crunch, and she winced in pain, glaring at the smug Mu An.

His devilishly handsome face was full of mischief, his black eyes sparkling with playful intent.

“Ru Tuan, do you want to eat?”

Mu An placed the chicken in his mouth and slowly chewed.

A devilish smile appeared on his face as if he was very pleased to see Mu Suru frustrated.

Mu Suru pouted and decided to ignore him, just as everyone else arrived.

So she focused on eating her favorite foods, her large almond-shaped eyes narrowing in contentment.

Mu Suru shoveled a large spoonful of stir-fried chicken cubes into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out like a little hamster—absolutely adorable.

Mu Chen placed a large chicken drumstick in Mu Suru’s bowl, “Ru Tuan, here’s your favorite drumstick!”

Mu Suru nodded, wiped her oily mouth with her small hand, and continued eating.

Not to be outdone, Mu An added a piece of braised pork to her bowl.

Mu Suru paused briefly, then took a fierce bite, her determined expression making it seem like she was biting someone instead of the meat.

Mu Chen gently wiped the oil from her mouth and her greasy little hands with a napkin.

Meanwhile, Xia Qian quietly ate the delicious food in front of her, but it tasted like nothing to her, her thoughts were elsewhere.

In the past, even if they were biased, Mu Chen would at least give her a drumstick as well.

But now, she was completely ignored, and it was clear that he was furious with her.

Xia Qian knew that to turn things around, she would have to win Mu Suru over again, but she was utterly unwilling…

Translators’ Note: If you’re wondering why Mu Chen calls Mu Suru, Ru Tuan. “Ru Tuan” is an endearing nickname given to Mu Suru by her brothers, emphasizing her cute, cherished nature. The “Tuan” in “Ru Tuan” adds a sense of warmth and affection, making it clear that they view her as their precious little sister. In Chinese, “团” (tuan) typically means “group” or “round” and can imply something small and round, often used affectionately to describe a person who is seen as cute, soft, and lovable, like a small, round ball or dumpling. So yeah it’s an endearment for her.
