The Substitute Madam Amazes the World Once More

Mo Zhu's mother remarried after her father went missing, and she had lived in the countryside with her elderly grandmother ever since. The girl who had no parents wanted to protect herself. Therefore, to avoid getting bullied, she had turned wild since she was a child—she played truant, fought, and drank. There was nothing she did not know how to do. She was a problematic student in the eyes of her teachers, a big sister in the eyes of her classmates, and a hooligan in the eyes of her acquaintances. When she was eighteen, her birth mother retrieved her to live at her stepfather's house. Everyone in the village claimed that she was going to live a happy life in the city, that her mother had not forgotten that she had a daughter here. "Mo Zhu, the Huo family is one of the most powerful families in the country. It's your good fortune to replace your younger sister in marrying into the Huo family. You have to cherish this opportunity," explained her mother patiently as she held Mo Zhu's hand. Mo Zhu's eyes were filled with sorrow. At that instant, she knew why her mother thought of her. Inviting her over to the city to enjoy life was simply a figment of her imagination—she was simply an exploitable piece of trash that her mother could sacrifice. The Eldest Young Master of the Huo family fell severely ill recently. He did not just develop a twisted personality, but also became violent and cruel. His face had been completely ruined and he had only two years left to live. Mo Zhu's younger sister was supposed to be Eldest Young Master Huo's fiancée, but the ruined young master was no longer a suitable match. Fearing the Huo family's influences, her mother did not dare to cancel the marriage, thus she sent Mo Zhu under the bus to protect her younger sister. However, was Mo Zhu truly just a useless simpleton who knew how to smoke, drink, and fight? No! That was simply a disguise she used for self-defense since she was a girl without parents. After marrying into the Huo family, she stopped smoking, drinking, and fighting. She became the best daughter-in-law a mother-in-law could ever have; the best wife a husband could ever have. What never occurred to anyone was she no longer flunked in her studies. In fact, she transformed into a straight-A student. Half a year later, she enrolled in the best university in the country and majored in specialized medicine. Determined to become an excellent doctor, she cured her husband's illness completely in merely two years. That handsome and suave Eldest Young Master Huo returned. After Huo Xuan's recovery, he allocated a huge budget and held the biggest wedding of the century for Mo Zhu. During the grand wedding ceremony, Huo Xuan announced during his speech, "In this lifetime, there are two people I'm most grateful for other than my parents. One of them is my mother-in-law. Thank you for despising me after I fell ill and forcing my wife to marry me in her younger sister's stead. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met the most important person in my life! The second person must be my wife! She never despised me when I was at my lowest. Instead, she takes good care of me. She's an angel sent by God, and she has saved me with her forgiveness and kindness, granting me a second chance at life."

Entering the Police Station, Lu Ran

Editor: Atlas Studios

"Let's go, everyone. Let's watch the competition!" Zhang Qi swung his backpack on, and the fatigue on everyone's faces was gone.

Jiang Xun, Meng Ran, and the others went with the people in Class Eight. Mo Zhu walked out of the classroom first.

Xu Huan was already waiting at the school gate.

Mo Zhu didn't expect Huo Xuan to be here as well. Didn't he appear uninterested yesterday?

Once Mo Zhu got into the car, Xu Huan asked Mo Wu to drive in excitement.

Along the way, Xu Huan chattered non-stop. Mo Zhu didn't really feel like talking to him, so she lowered her head and slept.

"Ring ring~" A hurried ringtone sounded. When she picked up the phone, her expression changed drastically.

It was a call from Meng Ran. "Sister Mo, something happened to Lin Xiao. Jiang Xun has gone to Class One."

Huo Xuan, Xu Huan, and the others also heard him. "Mo Wu, turn back." Huo Xuan's voice was also rather stern.

Seeing Mo Zhu's gaze, the few of them understood the severity of the matter. The young girl's face was dark, like the prelude to a storm.

"Stop the car." Mo Zhu quickly opened the car door and got Mo Wu out of the driver's seat. The car rushed out like a sword leaving its bow.

As they sped along, seeing how she drove, Xu Huan felt ashamed of his inferior driving skills.

A few minutes later, they arrived at the entrance of Jingyang High School. Once Mo Zhu got out of the car, her figure quickly disappeared in front of everyone.

In Class One

Lin Xiao stood in front of Ji Shu, his lips tightly shut.

"Lin Xiao, you stole the tickets and you refuse to admit it. You can't blame Shu Shu for being so angry. Can you afford to pay if she arrives at the competition late?"

Fang Ran looked impatient. They were supposed to go and watch the competition now, but they were delayed because of Lin Xiao.

Jiang Xun was waiting for Lin Xiao at the entrance of Class Eight, but there was no sign of him. When he heard that something had happened, he rushed over. Lin Xiao was Mo Zhu's cousin. If anything happened to Lin Xiao, he didn't know what Mo Zhu would do.

School had already ended, but the students of Class One did not leave the classroom because Ji Shu could not find her ticket.

"It was still here this morning and it suddenly disappeared. I want to see who dares to steal my ticket." Ji Shu's sidekicks blocked the door and refused to let anyone out. They rummaged through the drawers one by one.

Lin Xiao's drawer was flipped open, a book fell open and two tickets fell out.

"Good job, Lin Xiao. Good job." Ji Shu gave Lin Xiao two slaps on the spot.

"This is mine," the young man said stubbornly.

"Yours? You're from the countryside. How can you have tickets to the Essence Soul's competition?"

"Lin Xiao usually looks so prim and proper, I didn't expect him to steal things behind my back."

"That's right, hurry up and apologize to Sister Ji!"

"Apologize!"

No matter what others said, the youngster stubbornly said that the tickets were his.

Even though he was already being beaten up. Ji Shu looked down at Lin Xiao, who was lying on the ground, with a look of disdain. "Don't waste my time. If you continue to be stubborn, I will send you to the police station. Stealing is a sentence."

When Mo Zhu reached the entrance of Class One, that was the scene she was met with.

"Sister Mo!" When Jiang Xun saw Mo Zhu's expression, he knew that something bad was about to happen.

"Sure, let's go to the police station."

Ji Shu didn't expect that other than Jiang Xun, Mo Zhu would come as well.

"Jiang Xun, call the police." Mo Zhu instructed Jiang Xun in a low voice.

"Mo Zhu, don't meddle in other people's business. He stole something. I'm just teaching him a lesson. If he goes to the police station, I'm afraid he will suffer." Ji Shu didn't expect this b*tch, Mo Zhu, to call the police. But so what? She was not the person who was afraid.

A few minutes later, Lin Xiao and the others were brought to the police station.

When the chief saw that it was Ji Shu, his face was full of flattery. "Ms. Ji, why are you here?"

"Someone stole my things. You have to deal with this matter properly." Chief Zhang saw Lin Xiao behind him and understood the whole story. Besides both of them, there was also another man and woman. He thought that Jiang Xun looked familiar, but he wasn't sure about his identity. As for Mo Zhu, he was even more unsure of who she was.

"Don't worry, Ms. Ji. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation." Ji Shu raised his head arrogantly.

The few of them were brought into the interrogation room.

"Speak. Why did you steal Ms. Ji's things?"

"I didn't," Lin Xiao answered as usual.

Seeing how Lin Xiao was acting, they were getting impatient. Besides that, they wanted to force Lin Xiao to admit it after seeing Ji Shu's displeasure.

"What rights do you have to say that he stole something from you?" Mo Zhu, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke. Her voice gave the people there an inexplicable pressure.

"The ticket in his possession is mine. Why else did you think that I'd said that?"

"What rights do you have to say that it is your ticket?" Mo Zhu's voice was still as calm as ever, which annoyed Ji Shu.

"If you can't provide evidence, get lost. Don't affect our investigation." Chief Zhang looked at Mo Zhu angrily.

"Is this how you handle cases?" Mo Zhu's dark eyes landed on Chief Zhang.

Seeing that Mo Zhu dared to doubt his own ability, Chief Zhang was about to flare up when he saw his subordinate rush in and whisper something into his ear.

Chief Zhang's expression changed instantly and he immediately went out to welcome them.

A man walked in from the interrogation room. He was tall and had a dignified look on his face.

Chief Zhang stood nervously at the side, his arrogance gone.

Why did Lu Ran come to Cloud City suddenly? This man was a scary presence in the police force in Beijing. Why did he suddenly come to a small place like his?
