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

Early Saturday morning, before it was fully light, Zhou Songmei took advantage of the quieter morning hours and quickly left the school.

Yes, she was afraid of other people's cold words.

As a child, she grew up amidst the cold words and sarcastic remarks of the other children in her village because she had no father.

During high school, she made a wrong step and became pregnant out of wedlock, and left school amidst the cold words of her classmates and friends;

Zhou Songmei knew better than anyone how biting those cold words were.

She was afraid, deeply afraid.

After much difficulty, she left Yuning County and was admitted to Nanzhou Foreign Language University. There were not many people here who knew about her past.

But in just one day, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.

She felt that familiar suffocating feeling that had accompanied her throughout her childhood.

She originally thought that by ousting Song Lingge from her position and establishing herself as the daughter of a middle school principal, she could live like Song Lingge.

Before this, it seemed that things were indeed as she had predicted.

Because she enrolled two years later, none of the students in her year came to know her, including Yu Ning.

So apart from Fang Guanghua, no one would expose her fabricated lies.

Of course, Fang Guanghua wouldn't do that.

However, no one expected that Li Meimei would discover this shocking secret and shamelessly chase after him to the school.

Zhou Songmei hated her intensely.

People who have had a happy childhood have no compassion whatsoever.

They are always so willful and reckless.

Li Meimei was expelled from school for her previous indecent behavior, but that didn't teach her a lesson. This time, she's caused trouble at the school again.

And that Fang Guanghua, he's utterly useless, he can't even keep an eye on a woman.

For the first time, Zhou Songmei felt regret.

She regretted being with Fang Guanghua, and regretted that she had a new life, but after seeing Song Lingge, she uncontrollably wanted to take everything from her.

However, Zhou Songmei did not see herself as taking something; she saw herself as seeking revenge.

If Song Jianping had married her mother and her mother hadn't been assaulted by Song Jianping's childhood friend, then she would indeed be Song Jianping's daughter.

Then, she is the real Song Lingge.

Song Lingge is the bad woman; she took everything that belonged to her.

Everything she did was simply to get back everything she had lost.

Zhou Songmei has become obsessed.

She returned home dejectedly, while Nie Ergou and Zizai were still asleep.

Hearing the noise, Nie Ergou got up quietly.

"Xiaomei, why are you only coming back today?" Nie Ergou asked in a low voice.

"Something happened at school yesterday, hasn't he come back yet?" Zhou Songmei never addressed Song Jianping as her father in front of Nie Ergou; this was the only way she could repay Nie Ergou.

Nie Ergou shook his head and complained, "I wonder where they went."

After saying that, he went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Zhou Songmei.

Nie Ergou can't cook, but he's very good at making noodles.

He's always been a lazy person who loves to eat and cook. Buying groceries and cooking both cost money, and noodles are the most convenient and cheap option.

Therefore, he has countless ways to make noodles taste delicious.

He quickly prepared two bowls of homemade noodles and brought them out.

"Xiaomei, come and eat! You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Zhou Songmei didn't eat dinner last night, and she's really hungry now.

The bowl of noodles was her favorite thin noodles with chive leaves, topped with a shiny fried egg. The sauce was probably leftover fish-flavored eggplant from last night, sprinkled with chopped green onions, and it smelled delicious.

Zhou Songmei quickly slurped up a big mouthful of noodles.

Seeing that she was eating with great relish, Nie Ergou smiled and sat down to start eating.

The father and daughter ate their meal quietly without saying a word.

Nie Ergou didn't find it strange, because they usually ate like this.

Although Zhou Songmei knew he was her father from a young age, she could never act as naturally and affectionately as she did with Song Jianping.

Nie Ergou thought that Zhou Songmei did not approve of him as her father.

What he didn't know was that although Zhou Songmei didn't approve of him, this was Zhou Songmei's truest state.

Those instances of her acting coquettishly with Song Jianping were all part of her imagination of how Song Lingge and Song Jianping would interact.

Extremely hungry, Zhou Songmei quickly finished a bowl of noodles.

However, after she finished eating, she didn't go back to the sofa, but sat and waited for Nie Ergou.

Nie Ergou then realized something was wrong, so he quickly slurped up the rest of the noodles.

He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and when he looked up, he saw the tissue Zhou Songmei handed him.

Nie Ergou smiled awkwardly, took the tissue, and wiped his face again.

His personal habits were very bad, not only Zhou Songmei had said it many times, but even Song Jianping couldn't stand it.

But how easy is it to change habits formed from childhood?

However, this time Zhou Songmei didn't yell at him or scold him as loudly as usual.

Zhou Songmei said calmly, "I have to teach classes during the week, and you stay home to take care of Zizai. Don't let Zizai learn your bad habits. Try your best to correct them."

Nie Ergou didn't react for a moment, but after a while he realized that Zhou Songmei was indeed speaking to him kindly, and then he nodded.

"I'm very careful when I take care of Zizai, so don't worry!"

He was just saying that, but Zhou Songmei was in a very good mood today and didn't argue with him.

Nie Ergou sensed something was wrong and asked, "Xiaomei, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Zhou Songmei shook her head, yawned, and said, "I stayed up too late last night and got up early today. I'm going to go back to sleep for a while!"

Nie Ergou said, "Go to sleep. When Zizai wakes up, I'll take him downstairs to play. I won't disturb you."

Zhou Songmei nodded and then went back to her room without saying anything more.

After eating, she was indeed feeling sleepy and immediately fell asleep.

......

Song Lingge has been quite relaxed at home these past two days. She spends her time either rushing to finish her manuscript or calling Qiao Nansheng and chatting with the Zhao family elders.

Another weekend passed, and Grandpa Sun still hadn't called.

Song Jianping seemed to have vanished.

Song Lingge plans to wait until next weekend, and if there is still no news of Song Jianping, she will go to the police station.

But no matter how you look at it, even if Song Jianping discovered that Zhou Songmei was not his biological daughter, it's impossible that he was killed by Zhou Songmei so quickly and quietly, right?

Moreover, on Friday in the principal's office, Zhou Songmei attempted to claim that she and Zhou Songmei were sisters.

If Song Jianping had been murdered, Zhou Songmei probably wouldn't have done this.

If we do that, wouldn't it be easier for the school to just call Song Jianping and find out?

The most likely explanation now is that Song Jianping doesn't completely trust paternity tests and has gone to look for witnesses and physical evidence.

After all, the fact that he was willing to live in the new house with Zhou Songmei and tricked Song Lingge into going back to her maternal grandparents' house shows that his feelings for Zhou Songmei were deeper than for Song Lingge.

At the very least, the guilt is deeper.

Just then, a cry of alarm came from somewhere: "Look! Is someone about to jump off the Mingde Building?"
