Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

"Master...he has suddenly fallen ill, he has...has already..." Xiao Cui burst into tears and was unable to say the rest of the words.

Chu Mengmeng felt her head buzzing, her eyes went dark, and she almost fainted. How could this happen? In her previous life, her father was fine and not sick! Could it be that her arrival changed the course of history?

"Mengmeng, don't worry. Your uncle is a lucky man and will be fine." Xiao Yichen's voice sounded in her ears, with a hint of worry and comfort.

Chu Mengmeng came back to her senses, shook her head, and suppressed the grief in her heart, and asked: "Xiao Cui, is the news accurate? What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor... the doctor is helpless..." Xiao Cui cried out of breath, "Miss, please go and see the master!"

Chu Mengmeng no longer hesitated, and immediately got up and followed Xiao Cui to her father's room. Along the way, she kept thinking about her father's loving smile in her mind, praying for a miracle to happen.

However, all her hopes were shattered when she saw her father lying on the bed, pale and dying.

"Father!" Chu Mengmeng rushed to the bed, held her father's cold hand, and tears welled up in her eyes.

Master Chu slowly opened his eyes and saw Chu Mengmeng. A weak smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he was too weak to speak.

"Father, don't talk, just have a good rest, I will definitely cure you!" Chu Mengmeng said while choking, her heart full of self-blame and regret.

"Silly child," Master Chu uttered a few words with difficulty, "I know my own body... cough cough..."

"Don't talk anymore!" Chu Mengmeng burst into tears, "Doctor, where is the doctor? Go get the doctor!"

"It's useless," Xiao Yichen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Uncle Chu is poisoned, and it's a chronic poison that has penetrated deep into his bones. Even gods can't save him."

"Poisoned?" Chu Mengmeng suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Yichen, "How could he be poisoned? Who poisoned him?"

"It's meaningless to pursue these things now," Xiao Yichen said calmly, "The most urgent task is to find a way to stabilize Uncle Chu's condition. Maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

Although Chu Mengmeng was heartbroken, she knew that now was not the time to be sad. She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and asked, "Yi Chen, what can you do?"

"I know a doctor with excellent medical skills, maybe we can give it a try," Xiao Yichen said, "I'll go ask him to come over now."

"Okay, please!" Chu Mengmeng held Xiao Yichen's hand tightly, her eyes full of hope.

Xiao Yichen nodded, turned around and left quickly.

"Mengmeng, don't worry too much," Su Mubai walked forward and patted her shoulder gently, "Uncle will be fine."

Chu Mengmeng shook her head and said nothing, but just held her father's hand tightly, her heart filled with anxiety and fear.

Su Mubai's words did not comfort Chu Mengmeng, but made her more worried. She knew Mr. Chu's physical condition too well, and this time he was poisoned, he was afraid that it would be very dangerous.

"Mengmeng, don't be like this. Your uncle would be so sad if he saw you like this." Lin Wan'er looked at Chu Mengmeng with heartache and comforted her softly.

"Yes, Mengmeng, you have to cheer up. You are the eldest daughter of the Chu family. Even if the sky falls, we will help you!" Su Mubai also echoed.

Seeing the concerned eyes of her friends, Chu Mengmeng felt a warm current in her heart. Yes, she still had friends and hope, she couldn't just give up!

"Wan'er, you are right. I can't fall down. I have to find out the truth about my father's poisoning and avenge my father!" Chu Mengmeng said with a firm look in her eyes, her tone full of strength.

"This is the Chu Mengmeng I know!" Lin Wan'er said with a smile, "To celebrate your regained confidence, I suggest that we go to Zuixianlou for a good meal tonight. How about it?"

Zuixianlou is the most famous restaurant in the capital. Its dishes are exquisite and delicious, and the prices are very high. It is a place frequented by dignitaries.

"Okay, I'll treat you!" Su Mubai agreed generously.

"This is so embarrassing. Let me do it." Chu Mengmeng declined.

"Don't be polite with us. Just think of it as us practicing it for you." Lin Wan'er said with a smile, holding Chu Mengmeng's arm.

"Yes, just consider it as a practice for us!" Su Mubai also said with a smile.

Chu Mengmeng was moved and no longer refused, she nodded and agreed.

The three of them came to Zuixianlou, asked for a private room, and ordered a table full of dishes.

"Come on, Mengmeng, I'll toast you with tea instead of wine and wish you all the best!" Lin Wan'er raised the teacup and said with a smile.

"Thank you." Chu Mengmeng also raised her teacup, clinked it with Lin Wan'er, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Mengmeng, you have to believe that everything will be fine." Su Mubai also raised his teacup and said sincerely.

Chu Mengmeng nodded, her heart filled with emotion and warmth. The care of her friends made her feel strong in the difficult situation and strengthened her faith.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the three of them chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Chu Mengmeng temporarily forgot her troubles and showed a long-lost smile on her face.

"By the way, Mengmeng, have you really decided to marry Xiao Yichen?" Lin Wan'er suddenly asked.

"Yes." Chu Mengmeng nodded, "This is what my father meant, and it is also my only choice."

"But..." Lin Wan'er hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it.

"Wan'er, I know what you want to say," Chu Mengmeng held Lin Wan'er's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I have made up my mind. Since I have decided to get married, I will manage this marriage well and will not let myself be wronged."

"Well, I believe you." Lin Wan'er nodded, her eyes full of worry.

"Come on, let's not talk about this anymore, let's drink, drink!" Su Mubai raised his glass and changed the subject.

The three of them raised their glasses and drank together again, and laughter filled the entire private room. As they toasted and exchanged cups, Chu Mengmeng felt a warm current in her heart. This meal diluted the haze she had been feeling for the past few days and made her cherish this friendship even more.

"Mengmeng, have you really decided?" After three rounds of drinks, Su Mubai put down his glass and looked at Chu Mengmeng with burning eyes.

Chu Mengmeng knew what he was asking, and nodded gently, saying firmly: "Well, I have decided. I want to change my destiny and never be a puppet of fate again."

Su Mubai's eyes flashed with admiration, and he raised his glass: "Okay! I support you! From today on, we will be your strongest backing!"

Lin Wan'er also raised her teacup with a smile in her eyes: "Mengmeng, I believe in you, you can do it!"

Chu Mengmeng picked up the wine glass and drank it all, her eyes slightly moist. The trust and support of her friends filled her heart with strength.

"Cheers to a new beginning!" Su Mubai raised his glass again with great heroism.

"Cheers!" Chu Mengmeng and Lin Wan'er also raised their glasses. Amid the crisp clinking sounds, the friendship between the three became even stronger.

Just as the three were immersed in the joyful atmosphere, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and a servant hurried in with a gold-embossed letter in his hand.

"Miss Chu, this is sent by my young lady. Please take a look." The servant respectfully handed the card to Chu Mengmeng.

Chu Mengmeng took the post puzzledly, opened it, and her face suddenly turned ugly.

"What's wrong? Whose post is this?" Lin Wan'er asked with concern when she saw this.

Chu Mengmeng did not answer, but handed the post to Lin Wan'er.

Lin Wan'er took the post and quickly glanced through it. Her expression changed and she said with a hint of shock: "This...isn't this Chu Yunyao's handwriting? How could she..."

The content of the post is simple, but it is full of provocation.

"Three days later, I will be waiting for Miss Chu at Yuqing Temple on the outskirts of the city. ——Respectfully presented by Chu Yunyao."

This short sentence, like a stone, broke the cheerful atmosphere in the private room. A depressing feeling of impending storm instantly enveloped the hearts of the three people.
