Rebirth: Start to Save the Treasure Girl

Xue Rui hadn't forgotten the last time he went home, Chen Tingting and her parents tricked him into coming home.

Although it was just a meal, Xue Rui still feels lingering fear when he thinks about it.

Chen Tingting has her own photo on the wall, and her parents don't seem to care.

Xue Rui couldn't guarantee that Chen Tingting wouldn't drug him next time.

The best solution now is to let Gu Muxue handle it.

Firstly, Gu Muxue dislikes Chen Tingting.

Secondly, Chen Tingting was afraid of Gu Muxue.

Second floor of the auditorium at Jiaotong University.

At this time, Gu Muxue had just returned to Chang'an and was helping to prepare for the welcome party.

Gu Muxue was absent-minded, and kept glancing downstairs every now and then.

Downstairs, it was bustling with activity as many parents led their children on a tour of the campus.

She couldn't help but recall when she took Xue Rui for a walk around when school started.

"Mu Xue, what are you looking at? Did you go out with your boyfriend?"

A female classmate joked, following Gu Muxue's gaze downwards.

Gu Muxue withdrew her gaze and gently shook her head: "No."

Gu Muxue just wanted to see if Chen Tingting had come or not.

Even though she knew two months ago that Chen Tingting was coming to her school, she still felt a sense of unreality.

When she was at Hedong No. 2 Middle School, Chen Tingting was still afraid of her. But a year after she graduated, Chen Tingting became more and more arrogant, and even argued with her online.

"Sigh~" Gu Muxue pinched her brow, feeling very irritated.

Suddenly her phone rang. Gu Muxue opened it and saw that it was Xue Rui calling.

Gu Muxue's lips curled up slightly, thinking that it was necessary to remind Xue Rui again.

Before Gu Muxue could even speak after the call connected, Xue Rui's helpless voice came through:
"Chen Tingting's father called me and said that Chen Tingting is at the police station..."

Xue Rui did not ask Gu Muxue to come over, but instead explained the situation and let Gu Muxue make the decision.

"Mu Xue, I'm very busy right now, but it wouldn't be appropriate to turn it down. My dad owes Chen Shen a favor..."

Xue Rui was speechless about this.

When the police installed barriers at the entrance of his restaurant, Chen Shen left an opening at the entrance of his house...

Logically, the favor should fall on Lao Xue regarding the restaurant.

But Lao Xue insisted on putting the favor on Xue Rui's head, so Xue Rui had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.

However, in Xue Rui's words, it became a favor from Lao Xue.

"Xiao Rui, give me the address, I'm coming over now." Gu Muxue hung up the phone after saying that.

Xue Rui's meaning was quite clear after saying all that; he was obviously trying to get rid of her.

But Gu Muxue was not angry at all; on the contrary, she thought Xue Rui was very well-behaved and obedient.

……

Inside the police station, people were queuing up in front of the windows.

Chen Tingting found a corner, curled up her legs and squatted on a chair. She stared blankly at the ground, looking very forlorn.

When Chen Tingting got off at the high-speed rail station, she didn't look for her school's bus. Instead, she decided to sneak off to Xue Rui's school to find out more.

But in the short time she went to the restroom, her backpack disappeared from her suitcase...

After reporting the incident to the police station, she didn't dare call Xue Rui, fearing he would think she was too stupid.

Chen Tingting just hoped that Old Chen would arrive soon, and that the police would catch the thief quickly so that her things could be recovered as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, classmate, have a drink of water first."

The policewoman walked through the crowd and handed Chen Tingting a glass of water. She had just contacted Chen Tingting's father and learned that he was also a policeman, so she couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards Chen Tingting.

She gently comforted her:

"Don't worry, students lose things every year."

Chen Tingting's eyes lit up, and she immediately asked, "Can you find them all?"

"I'll try, I'll try." The policewoman gave an awkward smile; she certainly wouldn't make that promise...

Fearing that Chen Tingting would continue to press for answers, she interrupted Chen Tingting first:

"Your father just said he would send someone to find you. Just wait here for a while."

The policewoman was also a little curious: who would Chen Tingting's father send over?

Colleagues in the same system?

After all, Chen Tingting's father is of a high rank, so there is a high probability of that.

Hearing this, Chen Tingting felt much more at ease, thinking that her father hadn't been doing all these years for nothing.

"Wait a moment, come find your sister if you need anything."

The policewoman patted Chen Tingting on the shoulder and then went back to work.

After waiting in place for a short while, Chen Tingting suddenly heard someone call her name.

"Chen Tingting, is Chen Tingting there?"

"I am here."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tingting subconsciously responded, thinking that the voice sounded familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

Following the sound, Chen Tingting saw who it was. She quickly turned her back, rested her head on the back of the seat, and kept muttering to herself:

She didn't see me, she didn't see me...

Damn it, Chen, why did you call her here?

How did Lao Chen meet Gu Muxue?

……

Gu Muxue had already spotted Chen Tingting through the crowd; she was just calling out to her on purpose.

Seeing Chen Tingting's reaction, Gu Muxue was speechless.

Even though he clearly saw her coming, he pretended not to see her.

This little girl really has a temper.

Gu Muxue ignored Chen Tingting and went to find the police on her own, shouting:
"Hello, officer, I am Chen Tingting's parent."

Upon hearing this, Chen Tingting trembled, abruptly raising her head and staring angrily at Gu Muxue's retreating figure with her round eyes.

Chen Tingting never expected that Gu Muxue, with her thick eyebrows and big eyes, would take advantage of her at such a time.

Chen Tingting picked up her suitcase. She had intended to just leave, but she had no money, no ID card, and had even lost her phone and university acceptance letter. She couldn't go anywhere...

Chen Tingting pouted and reluctantly huddled in the corner, thinking that once the items were found, she would definitely get her revenge.

……

At this moment, Gu Muxue was negotiating with the police, trying to find out what Chen Tingting had lost based on Chen Tingting's statement.

"What is your relationship with Chen Tingting?" the policewoman asked.

Gu Muxue paused for a moment: "Classmate."

The police were quite surprised, wondering why Chen Tingting's father had brought such a person along.
This little girl looks to be about the same age as Chen Tingting. What help could she possibly be?

"Officer, I'm also a student at Jiaotong University. Could you please get her a temporary ID card first, and then I'll take her to the university to enroll..."

Gu Muxue handed over her ID card and student ID.

The policewoman glanced at the ID, then smiled and nodded, thinking that this girl had clear logic; even if Chen Tingting's parents came, it would still be the same solution.

Yu Minlan followed behind Gu Muxue, thinking that Gu Muxue was quite magnanimous, still patiently helping her rival in love.

If it were me, I would definitely pick a time when Chen Tingting was down on her luck and kick her while she was down.

So, after the two came out again, Yu Minlan whispered in Gu Muxue's ear, "Miss Gu, do we really want to help her?"

Gu Muxue smiled sweetly: "Of course, it's not a big deal. If I don't handle it, someone else will. If I help her now, she'll owe me a favor, and she'll be more restrained in the future." Yu Minlan's eyes lit up, thinking that Gu Muxue was indeed cunning.

Gu Muxue walked to Chen Tingting's side and called out in a calm tone, "Chen Tingting, let's go."

"Who sent you? I don't need your help."

Chen Tingting didn't even glance at Gu Muxue.

Gu Muxue didn't hold a grudge against Chen Tingting. She just glanced at Yu Minlan and then at the suitcase next to Chen Tingting.

Yu Minlan immediately understood, picked up Chen Tingting's luggage, and walked out.

"Hey, hey, hey? You dare to steal things in the police station?" Chen Tingting immediately became anxious.

After he finished speaking, the noisy police station fell silent for a few seconds.

The policewoman glanced at it, then laughed speechlessly: "Chen Tingting, those are the people your father sent."

"She's my rival in love!" Chen Tingting said, dissatisfied.

The policewoman's face twitched upon hearing this; she never imagined there was such a connection...

No wonder Gu Muxue seemed a little embarrassed when asked about their relationship before.

However, from the police's perspective, this is also a good thing, as it indirectly proves that Chen Tingting and Gu Muxue know each other and have a "deep relationship".

"Go ahead, she's your senior, she'll help you with the enrollment procedures."

The policewoman smiled and ignored Chen Tingting.

The onlookers were speechless; they had been hoping to see some excitement.

However, in the sweltering summer, it's nice to be able to eat some watermelon.

Chen Tingting stamped her foot and reluctantly followed Gu Muxue's footsteps.

Gu Muxue's car was parked not far from the entrance. Yu Minlan stuffed Chen Tingting's luggage into the trunk, then opened the car door and gave Chen Tingting a wink.

Chen Tingting hesitated for a moment, then braced herself and sat down.

The air conditioning in the car was on full blast. Gu Muxue had a small blanket covering her legs. When she saw Chen Tingting come in, she smiled slightly and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Chen Tingting pouted: "Who sent you?"

Gu Muxue was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a while.

Should we tell Chen Tingting the truth?

Even if I don't tell her, Chen Tingting will eventually find out.

“Your father contacted Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui told me about it, and then I came.”

After Gu Muxue finished speaking, she looked at Chen Tingting's reaction.

Chen Tingting clenched her fists tightly, her mind seemingly preoccupied with something.

Damn it, Chen! I told you not to tell Xue Rui. Doesn't this make me look stupid?
Now look what's happened. She's only just arrived in Chang'an, and she's already run into her love rival in this disheveled state.

And he even had to rely on his love rival for financial support...

"Even if you help me, don't expect me to be grateful."

Chen Tingting stammered, her face flushed, and continued, "I didn't ask you for help."

Upon hearing this, Yu Minlan frowned immediately. She was about to say something when Gu Muxue stopped her with a look.

Gu Muxue said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to thank me."

Gu Muxue was actually very happy that Chen Tingting said that.

The more someone says they don't care, the more they actually care.

If you encounter a truly ungrateful person, they would never say such a thing.

"Xiao Yu, find a restaurant to eat first," Gu Muxue instructed.

“Okay,” Yu Minlan replied.

The air was thick with silence on the way to the restaurant.

Gu Muxue found a quiet private room, ordered four or five stir-fried dishes, and quietly watched Chen Tingting eat.

"Why didn't your parents come?" Gu Muxue asked.

“I knew you were looking for my parents, so I came secretly.”

Chen Tingting sounded aggrieved at this point and didn't continue.

Gu Muxue suppressed a laugh, realizing that Chen Tingting had done it on purpose, but her plan had backfired.

Halfway through the meal, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Enter."

Yu Minlan came in carrying a large bag, and then whispered something in Gu Muxue's ear for a while.

"Okay, go outside and wait for me," Gu Muxue instructed.

After Yu Minlan left, Gu Muxue took out an iPhone box and a SIM card from the bag:

"You can use the phone for now. This SIM card will be automatically cancelled in three months. This is just to give you a temporary solution..."

As Gu Muxue spoke, she placed the bag on the chair next to Chen Tingting.

Chen Tingting turned her head away: "I don't want it, you can take it back."

"Sigh~" Gu Muxue pinched her brow, feigning regret, "If Xiao Rui hadn't owed your father a favor, do you think I would have helped you?"

Now, Chen Tingting will only feel at ease accepting anything if she says it was given by Xue Rui.

"Xue Rui gave it to me?"

Chen Tingting hesitated for a moment before accepting the item with a silly smile.

Gu Muxue's actions were actually quite simple; she didn't intend to use this to manipulate Chen Tingting, and she knew that was unrealistic.

She just wanted to take this opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with Chen Tingting and ask her what she really thought.

"Tingting, you're so cute, you'll probably have a lot of boys chasing after you during military training," Gu Muxue said with a smile.

Chen Tingting frowned, wondering if Gu Muxue had praised her.
No, no, there's another meaning to that statement: she's telling me to find a boyfriend and stop bothering Xue Rui.

Not to be outdone, Chen Tingting retorted, "You're very pretty too, you must have a lot of suitors around you."

Gu Muxue was taken aback; Chen Tingting was simply impervious to reason.

"What's so good about him?" Gu Muxue couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, what's so good about him?"

Chen Tingting echoed, then smiled at Gu Muxue: "So you should break up with him quickly, I don't mind."

Gu Muxue was breathing rapidly; she was quite angry with Chen Tingting after just a few words.

Does Chen Tingting really have no sense of shame at all?

"He has a girlfriend, why are you still bothering him?"

Gu Muxue stopped hiding her true intentions and began to question him directly.

"When I liked him, he didn't have a girlfriend. It was like the boy I liked was stolen away, and now I want to take him back."

Chen Tingting said confidently.

In Chen Tingting's opinion, she was at a disadvantage because she was younger. If she and Xue Rui were the same age and in adjacent classes, she would have won Xue Rui over long ago, and this would not have happened.

“But he has a girlfriend now, so it’s not appropriate for you to get close to him anymore,” Gu Muxue said patiently.

Chen Tingting shook her head: "My mom said that before marriage, everyone is a backup plan. What makes you think he's yours? Do you have any proof?"

Gu Muxue: "..."

Gu Muxue had originally intended to negotiate with Chen Tingting's parents, but now it seemed unnecessary.

“We go to the same school, and everyone knows I’m Xue Rui’s girlfriend.”

Gu Muxue made a veiled threat.

Chen Tingting pursed her lips, then slowly said:

"Do they know that Lin Ruoxi is also Xue Rui's girlfriend?" (End of Chapter)
