Transmigrated as the Tortured Female Lead’s Daughter

After a pause, Tang Chunxiu added, “That little b*tch Gu Manxi is still on set. Manshi, we can’t lose to her. I heard that Song Chen often visits the set, so we should take the opportunity to get closer to Song Chen and deepen our relationship.”

In the past, when she heard Tang Chunxiu Call Gu Manxi a b*tch, Zhao Manshi only felt satisfied.

But now, Zhao Manshi’s heart was filled with dissatisfaction out of nowhere.

“Mom, Gu Manxi has always been well-behaved. She didn’t come back to the Zhao family and didn’t cause us any trouble.” Zhao Manshi couldn’t help but speak up for her sister. “Back then, we plotted for her to marry Director Li. It was wrong in the first place…”

“Silly child, what nonsense are you spouting!” Tang Chunxiu suddenly raised her tone and looked at Zhao Manshi with a reproachful look. “She got pregnant out of wedlock and didn’t know how to behave. She relied on seducing men to enter the entertainment industry. She deserved to suffer!”

Zhao Manshi frowned slightly.

For the first time, she didn’t agree with her mother’s point of view.

Before Gu Manxi entered the capital, Tang Chunxiu had always said that this second daughter was promiscuous, had children out of wedlock, and was morally corrupt. Zhao Manshi was a proper lady from a respectable family. After listening to her mother’s description, she subconsciously regarded Gu Manxi as a bad woman.

However, after gradually coming into contact with her, Zhao Manshi gradually discovered that Gu Manxi wasn’t as unbearable as her mother had described.

Gu Manxi was elegant and beautiful, modest, hardworking, serious, helpful, and even a little slow. She always treated people with gentle words. She was as clean as anyone could get.

Zhao Manshi wanted to speak up for her sister. “But –”

Before she could finish her sentence, Tang Chunxiu interrupted her. Tang Chunxiu stood up with a cold face and threw away the bright rose in her hand. “Manshi, you must have been deceived by Gu Manxi. Listen to your mother and enter the production team. Enter the entertainment industry and don’t get involved with Gu Manxi. I’m doing this for your own good.”

“When you enter the production team, you must get along with Song Chen. Don’t let that slut Gu Manxi seduce him. A dirty woman like her doesn’t deserve to marry into the Song family.”

Zhao Manshi frowned deeply. She could clearly feel her mother’s malice toward Gu Manxi.

But, why?

When she heard that Gu Manxi had accidentally gone missing when she was five years old, her mother didn’t look for her seriously. Instead, she acted as if her daughter didn’t exist. Later, she wanted to curry favor with Director Li, so she tried her best to trick Gu Manxi back…

It seemed that in Tang Chunxiu’s eyes, this daughter was a tool. She would find her when she needed her and throw her away when she didn’t.

“Mom, Gu Manxi is my sister after all.” Zhao Manshi tried to defend herself.

Tang Chunxiu flicked her sleeves. “The child I gave birth to won’t hook up with a man outside and have a child out of wedlock! It’s getting late, you should go to bed early. You’re not allowed to speak well of Gu Manxi in the future.”

After saying that, Tang Chunxiu rushed upstairs angrily.

Zhao Manshi stood rooted to the ground. She had a vague feeling that her mother was hiding something.

Or perhaps, her mother hated Gu Manxi for a particular reason.

“Father hasn’t been home for a long time.” Zhao Manshi was in a low mood. The huge mansion was empty. Her eldest brother had left home, her second sister had cut off relations with her family, and her father was looking for a lover. The entire mansion was cold and lifeless.

Zhao Manshi couldn’t help but think of Lu Shanhe’s film crew. It was so lively and noisy. How wonderful was that.

…

Upstairs, Tang Chunxiu was restless and upset.

She was angry. Her youngest daughter, who she was most proud of, seemed to be siding with Gu Manxi. She didn’t know what Gu Manxi was doing this time to confuse Zhao Manshi’s mind.
