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

Song Lingge waved the transparent bag in her hand, which contained glass jars of pickled vegetables.

"I know you like the pickled vegetables your grandma makes. It's been a while, so I brought you some."

Song Jianping took it and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you go upstairs? What kind of behavior is it to shout like that downstairs?"

Song Lingge said shyly, "Dad, I haven't had breakfast yet. The bus was stuck in traffic for ages, and I'm starving. Dad, how about we go to that restaurant we ate at last time? It's almost lunchtime now, so let's have that as brunch!"

So that's how it is. Song Jianping lowered his guard.

He had only asked casually, and he was more than happy that Song Lingge wasn't going upstairs.

Didn't your grandma make you breakfast?

“I did it. I was worried about you, so I called you, but the line was always busy. I came over without even having breakfast.”

Song Jianping's tone became much more affectionate: "Just like your mother, you're destined to worry. What's there to worry about when I make a phone call?"

Song Lingge said with concern, "After all, you live alone, so if something happens, no one will know."

Song Jianping looked a little embarrassed and could only try to ease the tension with a joke: "Hope your dad does well!"

The father and daughter chatted and laughed as they went to a small restaurant outside the residential area.

When they arrived at the security room, Song Lingge made a point of speaking to Grandpa Sun in front of Song Jianping.

It almost scared Grandpa Sun half to death.

"Sir, this is my dad. He lives on the fifth floor of that building. He lives alone, so please keep an eye on him!"

Song Lingge casually pointed behind her.

Grandpa Sun quickly realized what was going on and played along: "Oh, protecting the residents of the community is the responsibility of every security guard, please don't worry."

Song Jianping gave an awkward laugh and quickly pulled Song Lingge away.

I wonder if the security guard noticed that he usually hangs out with Zhou Songmei.

Song Lingge is such a busybody.

"Why are you saying so much to a security guard?" Song Jianping's tone turned unpleasant again.

Song Lingge said with a wronged expression, "I haven't been here for a long time, do you know why?"

"why?"

“An old friend of my grandmother’s has always lived alone. Not long ago, my grandmother asked me to deliver some things to her, and that’s when I found her collapsed at home. If I hadn’t gone there, she might not be here anymore.”

"Your maternal grandmother's friend is too old, while your father is in his prime and in good health!"

Song Lingge shook her head and continued, "That grandma was usually in good health. I only found out what happened after I woke up and listened to her explanation."

"what happened?"

Song Jianping wasn't interested in these gossips, but now he wanted to get closer to Song Lingge, and his daughter was worried about him, so he pretended to be interested, which was unusual for him.

"This grandma's family story is quite dramatic. Actually, she didn't live alone before; she had children. Many years ago, after giving birth, she went abroad to study, while her husband stayed in China to take care of the children."

"After a few years, she returned to China, and the family lived happily together. But the good days didn't last long, and her husband passed away unexpectedly. After that, she and her son depended on each other for survival."

"Not long ago, my workplace organized a physical examination, and my grandmother discovered that her son's blood type was different from hers. So, my grandmother went to get a paternity test done. Guess what happened?"

"What's going on? This son isn't her biological child?" Song Jianping asked.

Song Lingge gave a thumbs up and said with a smile, "Dad, you're amazing, you guessed it right away."

Song Jianping's lips twitched. With her storytelling skills, wasn't it obvious?

Song Lingge ignored all of this and continued, "Grandma later found out that her biological child had died at a very young age. This son was born to her husband when he had an affair, and she raised him as his own."

"It's pretty melodramatic."

Song Lingge then said, "Dad, do you really think she wouldn't recognize that son if they hadn't seen each other for several years?"

Song Jianping replied, "What's so strange about that? Children change a lot, they look different every day. She went abroad for several years, so of course she'll change a lot when she comes back. It's normal that you can't recognize her."

Song Lingge chuckled: "It seems that if I'm separated from my child for too long in the future, I'll have to do a paternity test, otherwise I'll end up raising someone else's child without even realizing it."

"What nonsense are you thinking, child! Why would you be separated from your child for so long?"

Song Lingge said seriously, "I didn't have any wild thoughts. That grandma just didn't expect to have to go abroad right after giving birth. When she came back, not only had she lost her child, but she also had to raise her mistress's child. Do you think she felt good about that?"

"The kindness of raising a child is greater than the kindness of giving birth to them. She is good to her son, and her son will be grateful for her kindness."

Song Lingge slammed her hand on the table, startling Song Jianping.

"Who can argue with that! Any normal person would think that way. But Dad, do you know why Grandma ended up living alone?"

"What else could it be? I'm just so angry."

Song Lingge shook her head: "She raised her son for so many years, how could she not have feelings for him? Besides, she's old, and her husband and his mistress are both dead. She wouldn't hold a grudge anymore, no matter how big the grudge was."

"why?"

"Use your intelligence and think it over carefully."

Looking at her mischievous expression, Song Jianping spat in annoyance.

"How can you talk to your dad like that?"

Song Lingge smiled shyly: "I just thought you seemed quite interested, Dad!"

Having been told the truth, Song Jianping stopped replying, picked up a piece of spicy blood curd, and started eating.

Seizing the opportunity, Song Lingge continued, "Grandma's husband died a long time ago. How do you think she knew all this?"

Song Jianping became interested and guessed, "Her son said it? Why would he say it? Wouldn't it have been better to keep it a secret so no one would have known?"

“That’s right! We all think so, but Grandma said that her son knew the truth when he was very young. He only flattered her for money and a better future.”

"Grandma raised her child with all her heart and soul, only to have such an ungrateful son. After the paternity test was exposed, the son thought he was all grown up and told the truth. Then he moved out and never cared about his grandmother again."

"The poor old lady, a woman of steel, was shocked by the bad news and faced the blow of being abandoned. Her body collapsed and she fainted at home without anyone knowing."

After Song Lingge finished speaking, Song Jianping remained silent for a long time, without picking up any food.

Having achieved her goal, Song Lingge was truly hungry and began to eat heartily.

“Dad, so please don’t think I’m being fussy. I’m genuinely worried about you living alone. But I can’t move in with you right now, since Grandma and Grandpa are getting old and need someone to take care of them.”

Song Jianping gave a low "hmm," picked up a piece of tripe with his chopsticks, but couldn't taste it.
