Reborn in the 90s, tearing apart scumbag men for the sake of women.

Qiao Nansheng hesitated for a while before saying, "Lingge, I still hope that you won't lie to me in the future. Tell me everything, good or bad. Maybe I will still face a situation where I can't help you in the future, but I want to have the right to know."

Song Lingge remained silent for a long time before looking up at him and saying, "Then I have the right to choose. I have the right to choose whether to tell you, or what to tell you."

Although the conditions were somewhat harsh, Qiao Nansheng knew that this was the biggest concession Song Lingge had made.

"make a deal."

They treat dating like doing business; that's something else.

"And what's the third point?" Song Lingge asked.

Qiao Nansheng tapped her forehead and said with a smile, "Since you've been so well-behaved, I'll leave this for now and won't ask for anything more."

Song Lingge thought to herself: This isn't for her benefit at all; it's clearly to prepare a quick response when facing unfavorable situations in the future.

However, since the two had just gone through some ups and downs, Song Lingge didn't want to hold it against him.

"Where to now?" Qiao Nansheng asked.

He seemed to have gotten used to following Song Lingge's arrangements.

"Let's find a store to buy something."

Song Lingge didn't just buy a few things.

I bought a pack of Hongtashan cigarettes, two boxes of milk, and two boxes of Sachima.

Although it wasn't much money, Qiao Nansheng was worried that she didn't have much money left after buying the shop, so he always paid for it himself first.

Song Lingge joked, "I really need you to pay the bill. I don't have much money left. I'm broke now."

Qiao Nansheng grinned foolishly at her, his face full of doting indulgence, and said, "How about I take care of you? Until you make a comeback?"

After getting on the bus, Qiao Nansheng looked at the things and said, "Are we going to visit relatives?"

"Yes, I'm going to meet a few people."

"These aren't enough, let's go buy some more!"

"That's enough, that's more than enough."

She wouldn't be happy to make Song Lingge bleed again, even if she wasn't the one paying the bill.

"where to?"

"Hele Manor".

Qiao Nansheng stared at her blankly, unsure of what to say.

Song Lingge smiled and looked at him: "What are you standing there for? Are you tired? How about I drive?"

Qiao Nansheng gripped the steering wheel tightly: "You know what I mean."

"Sigh!" Song Lingge sighed. "You really don't trust me? My aunt isn't going, so even if I have some schemes or tricks up my sleeve, they're useless! But I can go and annoy them a little, right?"

Qiao Nansheng then started the car and drove towards Hele Manor.

"Just to be disgusting? Aren't you afraid of getting disgusted yourself instead?"

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" Song Lingge quickly made a spitting motion on the ground. "Don't jinx it."

Qiao Nansheng imitated her action and spat out a "pui pui pui" sound as well.

Then, laughing, he said, "I was wrong, I've already said it. I'm sure everything will go smoothly for you today."

"Nie Ergou was staking out my house, my dad must have told me. Since he's so heartless, don't blame me for being ruthless too. He hates it when I suddenly visit, so I'll just have to do it."

Looking out the car window, Song Lingge said without revealing her emotions, "He might be using Nie Ergou by sending him. If I go out, Nie Ergou can notify him in advance so he can prepare. Why not catch him off guard now?"

Song Lingge's tone sounded relaxed, as if she were talking about someone else's affairs.

But Qiao Nansheng knew that she must have suffered a great trauma.

"Have you thought about how you'll face it if you actually see your dad and Zhou Songmei together later?"

Song Lingge turned to him and smiled slightly: "You should be worried about how they will face me."

Although Song Lingge was smiling, Qiao Nansheng couldn't manage a smile.

He said with some annoyance, "My current situation isn't very convenient, so I can't go with you. Why don't you tell them I'm your boyfriend, and you take me to meet them? That way, it'll be perfectly legitimate."

Song Lingge glanced at him disdainfully; this man was now racking his brains to get a permanent position.

"No need to trouble you, Qiao. I can handle this little thing by myself. Just wait for me downstairs!"

Qiao Nansheng looked utterly defeated; his wicked scheme had failed.

It seems that the road to becoming a permanent employee is still fraught with difficulties and a long way to go.

When we arrived at Hele Manor, it happened to be Grandpa Sun's shift.

Song Lingge placed Hongtashan cigarettes, a box of milk, and a box of Sachima on the table in the security room.

Grandpa Sun blushed and declined, saying, "Young lady, no need, no need, you're always too kind."

Song Lingge smiled and said, "It's the New Year, so this is just a small token of my appreciation. Happy New Year, Grandpa Sun!"

"Happy New Year to you too!" Grandpa Sun put all his things into the cabinet.

Just as Song Lingge was about to leave, Grandpa Sun opened the car door and got in.

"Uncle Sun, what's going on?"

Grandpa Sun looked around and said softly, "I'll take you to a safe place to park."

Following Grandpa Sun's directions, we soon arrived at a nice place.

It offers a wide field of vision, yet remains unobtrusive.

"From now on, when you come here, park your car here. I've observed it; it's the most secluded spot, but it's right across from your building."

Song Lingge replied with a smile, "Thank you, Uncle Sun, for your trouble."

Grandpa Sun said, "I was just helping out as a favor. You're too kind, kid. Don't do that next time. It makes it seem like I'm after your things. I'm not that kind of person. I genuinely want to help you."

Song Lingge quickly said, "Of course I know you're not that kind of person, Grandpa Sun, but I can't let you help me for nothing, can I? I'm truly grateful to you."

Grandpa Sun nodded: "Alright, I'll accept it this time, but please don't be so polite next time, or I won't help you anymore!"

The words were harsh, but not very forceful.

You still have to give it to them next time, otherwise why should they help you?

It's only like this during holidays and festivals.

"Uncle Sun, is my dad home?" Song Lingge asked directly, getting straight to the point.

Grandpa Sun didn't mince words and answered directly, "Yes, the woman and the child were there too. They even went out to set off fireworks together last night. By the way, doesn't your dad celebrate the New Year with you?"

A bitter smile appeared on Song Lingge's face: "I said I would come back to spend the New Year with him, but he disagreed."

Grandpa Sun exclaimed in shock, "What? Is this even human?"

"Grandpa, don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry over someone like that. Not spending the New Year with him isn't actually a bad thing for me; on the contrary, it makes things easier."

Looking at Song Lingge, Grandpa Sun felt even more sorry for her.

Her own father cheated on her and even took over her house, and now he won't let her go home for the Chinese New Year.

What on earth is going on?

As a result, this kind-hearted girl actually came to comfort him, a stranger.

"Oh right, I remember now, when I was on patrol yesterday, I heard that child call you Dad, Grandpa."
