"Mom, do you remember the colorful red string with the dark green pendant on it when I was a kid? Can you find it for me?"

"What are you looking for?" Liu Shuqin, who was plucking pheasant feathers, looked up and asked without hearing clearly.

Then he didn't take it seriously and said with a smile,

"What are you looking for? Wait until I stew the pheasant for you, and then I'll find it for you.

Your father specifically asked me to keep these three little pheasants for you to eat when you get back. Don't you love pheasant meat the most? I'll let you eat as much as you want today. Then I'll let you go up the mountain and catch two more for you to bring back to the city to eat."

Meng Lingling's eyes flashed with annoyance and impatience. Who wants to carry two chickens home? But she still pretended to be obedient and pulled Liu Shuqin up.

"Oh, Mom, don't do it, I'll do it later. Don't you have to go to work soon?"

When Liu Shuqin heard this, her face immediately became full of joy.

"After all, the daughter who is raised by my side is filial and knows how to care for her mother. Humph, she is so much better than that one. She doesn't work and doesn't even come to help her mother with the work. What an unfilial thing..."

It goes without saying who the 'that' Liu Shuqin was talking about was Xia Xizhi who was writing a novel next door.

When Xia Xizhi was mentioned, Liu Shuqin couldn't help but start accusing Xia Xizhi of all sorts of wrongdoings, "That damn girl..."

Meng Lingling interrupted impatiently, "Mom, go find that colorful red string for me first."

"It's the colorful red string I wore when I was a kid. Do you remember it? It had a green pendant on it."

Liu Shuqin suddenly thought of something and wiped her hands on herself.

"Yeah, well, I totally forgot.

At first I thought it was another kid's pendant that fell on you. I asked your father to take the pendant out and ask who lost it, but your father didn't find out and brought it back.

We didn't take it seriously and kept it on you.

Now it seems that the thing is yours, we just got the wrong one."

At this point, Liu Shuqin looked at Meng Lingling with eyes full of heartache.

"Who would have thought that you were taken away by mistake? If your parents had been more careful, you wouldn't have suffered so much in the village for so many years. It's all your fault..."

"Mom, this is not your fault. Hospitals were always a mess back then."

"Besides, mom is so good to me. Even though I'm not her biological child, she still treats me like one. I'm so grateful. If I hadn't been taken away by mistake, I wouldn't have known such a good mom. I'm even grateful that it happened."

Meng Lingling was obviously very impatient, but she still coaxed Liu Shuqin and winked playfully.

Turning around, a gloomy look flashed across her eyes. Indeed, if they hadn't picked her up by mistake, her life would not be like this.

It's all their fault!

Liu Shuqin didn't notice Meng Lingling's eyes at all. She happily went to the deep end of the cabinet and found a small cloth bag. When she opened the bag, Meng Lingling saw the colorful rope at a glance. Her eyes lit up and she quickly took it out.

Liu Shuqin looked at the pendant and sighed, "It's been so many years, and you've grown up so much in the blink of an eye."

"This pendant was given to you by your parents from the Meng family, right?"

Meng Lingling hummed casually and put the colorful rope in place. "Mom, don't worry about the chicken. I'll take care of it when I get back. You can go back to work."

Liu Shuqin smiled and said, "Okay, she has to be my daughter."

After Liu Shuqin went to work, Meng Lingling turned around and went to Li Shun's house.

Li Shun's family all go to work, leaving Zhou Xiaorui alone at home.

Zhou Xiaorui opened the door and saw Meng Lingling. After a moment of hesitation, she immediately hugged her arm and began to complain.

"Lingling, you're here!"

"You know, it was Xia Xizhi who caused me to go to the countryside this time! She's so vicious!

The work is tiring and dirty, and the countryside is full of country bumpkins. The food and drink are terrible. I'm going crazy!"

At this point, Zhou Xiaorui changed the subject, "Lingling, don't forget, she hated me because I helped you."

"You must help me. I don't want to stay in the countryside..."

"How about this, you help me find a job in the city. Your parents are so capable, they can definitely help me find a job, right?"

When Meng Lingling heard her say that people in the countryside were a bunch of bumpkins, her face changed for a moment. She also grew up in the countryside, and she hated people saying that the most.

But thinking that he would still need to use Zhou Xiaorui, he pretended not to hear her words and said with a smile,

"I can help you, but you have to do something for me."

Zhou Xiaorui's eyes lit up. "What's the matter? Tell me, as long as you can let me leave this godforsaken place."

"come here."

Meng Lingling made a gesture, and Zhou Xiaorui quickly moved closer to Meng Lingling. The two of them lowered their heads and whispered for a moment.

Meng Lingling handed her a package and turned back. Zhou Xiaorui put away the things, looked around, and went straight to the Youth League Home.

On the way back, Meng Lingling lowered her eyes in thought.

Today, the man mentioned Yingcheng, and also mentioned the colored ropes and pendants. Her heart was so excited that it almost jumped out of her chest.

It turns out that she is not from the Meng family, but a more powerful daughter!

She was about to run over to recognize her relatives, but the man turned around and drove away, and she didn't catch up with him at all.

He had no choice but to hurry back to Lizi Village to get the colored rope, and then go and ask about the man.

This red rope has been hers since she was a child. She is the rich girl, and she will not allow any accidents to happen this time.

She didn't see the man clearly, but his profile looked a bit like Xia Xizhi...

If Xia Xizhi used the colored rope to impersonate her, she would not be able to explain herself. She would never allow such a thing to happen!

Thinking of this, a sinister look flashed across Meng Lingling's eyes.

Xia Xizhi had robbed her of her comfortable life for more than ten years.

This time, she must trap Xia Xizhi in the mud and never let her leave the village.

It would be best if she was driven crazy and became stupid, or beaten to death by Lu Xiao, so that she would be free from trouble forever.

Guangming Magazine's sales quadrupled this week, and Xia Xizhi quickly began to conceive a new article after returning from the city.

She wants to write another long novel and publish it as soon as possible. This magazine may become her first pot of gold in the future.

"Xizhi, are you home?"

The knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. Hearing Meng Lingling's voice, Xia Xizhi put the article away.

When I opened the gate, I saw Meng Lingling had changed her usual behavior and looked very apologetic.

"Xizhi, um, I'm here to explain. Can you give me two minutes?"

Xia Xizhi raised an eyebrow and motioned for her to continue.

Meng Lingling pursed her lips and continued, "The newspaper issue wasn't really my fault. My parents thought your article was of dubious origin and were afraid you might go astray, so they went to the director.

I tried to stop you, but I couldn't. But it's my fault too. I came here today to apologize to you. We were destined to be together, and I don't want to keep misunderstanding you.

I hurt you before because I was angry. I was angry that you took my identity and made me suffer in the countryside, but I recently figured it out. It wasn't your fault, and it was wrong for me to take my anger out on you.

This is unfair to you, and I deeply realize my mistake.

I specially stewed a chicken today, can you come over and have a chat with me?"

Meng Lingling continued, "Oh, and Xiao Rui, I've also looked for her. I don't want you to break up with me after being friends for so many years. She did that before because of me. I'm really sorry."

Xia Xizhi's smile didn't reach his eyes, and he raised the corners of his lips, "Okay."

For this acting skill, the Oscar owes her a place. If I didn't know how vicious she was, I might have really believed her words.

Anyone who shows affection for no reason is either a traitor or a thief... It seems that he and Zhou Xiaorui are plotting against her!

She was just looking for an opportunity to take revenge but couldn't find one, it was like a sleepy person meeting a pillow.

Xia Xizhi pretended to know nothing and said, "Then wait for me for a while. I still have some time to live. I'll be there in half an hour."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Meng Lingling smiled.

She turned around, her face suddenly turned cold, and her eyes were full of sinister calculations.

As soon as Meng Lingling left, Xia Xizhi quietly left the house and headed straight for the second-in-command Zhao Xing's house...
