Compared to Qiao Nansheng, Jing Chu didn't know much about Song Lingge's situation.

However, since he is in Nanzhou, he has personally participated in many things and has a certain understanding of them.

Most importantly, the people of Jingchu are simple-minded but physically strong.

He wouldn't ask too many unnecessary questions, so Song Lingge didn't need to bother explaining to him.

It's really good that Qiao Nansheng asked him to help Song Lingge.

The thought that Qiao Nansheng, though thousands of miles away, could still wholeheartedly plan for her filled Song Lingge with warmth.

When she was first reborn, she had no intention of accepting a new relationship.

Of course, this plan was definitely not for Fang Guanghua's sake.

It's just that Song Lingge's life plan includes first taking revenge, then becoming rich, and spending her life with her family who have loved her unconditionally through two lifetimes.

Love is something you can encounter but not seek.

Qiao Nansheng's appearance was an accident, but he fulfilled Song Lingge's life.

Seeing Song Lingge's pursed lips and smiling, her face full of spring fever, Jing Chu made an inappropriate "tsk tsk tsk" sound.

"The stench of this romance is truly awful!"

"Jing Chu, you're asking for it!"

Song Lingge kicked out with a flying kick.

Soon, they arrived at Hele Manor.

Song Lingge went to see Grandpa Sun first, but Grandpa Sun told her that Song Jianping had not returned.

Grandpa Sun was unaware of what had happened at Nanzhou Foreign Language University. He repeatedly assured everyone, "No, I walk around the neighborhood every day. Besides, with your instructions, I'll definitely keep a closer eye on your house. Your dad definitely hasn't come back."

That's strange. Yu Shaofen and Yu Dezhi must have called Song Lingge's house to notify Song Jianping.

If Song Jianping didn't answer the phone, how could he have happened to be at the school by such a coincidence?

Song Lingge did not doubt what Grandpa Sun said, but it was also true that Song Jianping received a call to go to the school.

The only possibility is that Grandpa Sun got separated from Song Jianping while on patrol.

In that sense, it was truly a stroke of luck for Song Lingge.

If Yu Shaofen and Yu Dezhi hadn't informed Song Jianping, it's unclear how Zhou Songmei's farce would have ended.

According to Grandpa Sun, Song Jianping probably went home on Monday, received a phone call and went out, and then never returned to Hele Manor.

"What about that woman and her relatives?" Song Lingge asked again.

“They’ve been staying at home, but they used to take the kids to play in the neighborhood every day. These past few days, I’ve rarely seen them come downstairs.”

It seems that Zhou Songmei has suffered a significant blow, which is why she has become much more low-key during this period.

However, Nie Ergou and Zhou Songmei still live here, which Song Lingge finds utterly perplexing.

We can only get a clear answer by finding Song Jianping.

Song Lingge bought Grandpa Sun a bottle of good wine, as well as some snacks and milk for Grandpa Sun's family.

Finally, she asked Grandpa Sun to keep an eye on things for her before leaving Hele Manor.

If Song Jianping isn't here, where else could he be?

After thinking for a moment, Song Lingge took Jing Chu to another place.

“You and Nansheng are truly destined for each other,” Jing Chu suddenly said.

"What do you mean?" Song Lingge asked, puzzled.

"Your two families have several houses next to each other, it must be so convenient for you to date!" Jing Chu exclaimed sincerely.

Song Lingge smiled and replied with a bitter tone, "Convenient my foot, it's become a long-distance relationship now."

His tone carried an undeniable sense of loss.

Upon reaching the entrance of Nanzhou Middle School, Song Lingge thought for a moment and decided to let Jing Chu stay outside so he could stroll around the campus, while she returned to the teachers' dormitory building alone.

Since Song Jianping wasn't at Hele Manor, he definitely needed to find a place to stay, and there was nowhere more suitable than this place.

Along the way, Song Lingge encountered many familiar faces, all of whom lived in the teachers' dormitory.

They also gave Song Lingge definite news that Song Jianping had indeed moved back here.

Song Lingge jogged a few steps, pretending to be in a hurry.

"Knock knock knock—" Song Lingge knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" It was Song Jianping's voice.

"Lingge?" Song Jianping opened the door, only for a moment of surprise, but he quickly realized that who else could be looking for him besides Song Lingge?

"Dad, why didn't you say anything before coming back? I called you, but no one answered. I was so scared."

This time, Song Lingge didn't make a phone call, but she was certain that her lie wouldn't be exposed.

"Cough cough..." Song Jianping coughed several times and took a big gulp of water to calm down.

"School is very busy, and I spend too much time on the road, so I moved back here for the past few days. What brings you here?"

Song Lingge gave Song Jianping a reproachful look and said in a half-coquettish tone, "Why can't I come to see you if I'm not doing anything? Such a big thing happened last Monday, and I offered to go back with you but you wouldn't let me, saying you had to handle it yourself. It's been a week now, and I've been calling you but no one answers. Don't you think about how worried I am?"

As she spoke, Song Lingge looked around the room.

The room remains as it was when Song Jianmei moved out; it's much emptier now.

Fortunately, the weather has gotten warmer recently, so Song Jianping has been able to make do with the place.

However, due to the large temperature difference between day and night, Song Jianping still caught a cold.

Song Lingge glanced at the cold medicine on the table and then opened the wardrobe to take a look.

There wasn't a complete four-piece bedding set on the bed; a tattered cloth was simply spread out on it.

There aren't many clothes in the closet.

Judging from this, it seems that Song Jianping left the school on Monday and has not returned to Hele Manor since.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he'd been kicked out of his home.

Song Lingge felt that none of this made sense. Did Song Jianping not want to pursue Zhou Songmei and Nie Ergou?

“Dad, I understand that school is busy, but this can’t go on. Even though it’s almost summer, it’s still quite cool at night. How can you manage without blankets and such?”

Song Lingge kept complaining, then pointed to the wardrobe and said, "And look, you didn't even bring two pieces of clothing. If you don't catch a cold, who will?"

Song Jianping couldn't help but cough a few more times.

Song Lingge sighed and said, "Let's go, let's go. It's the weekend. You can stay here if you want, but let me go back with you to get some necessities before we come back."

After saying that, Song Lingge went to help Song Jianping up.

Song Jianping got so excited that he started coughing violently again.

Song Lingge patted his back and poured him water.

It took Song Jianping a while to stop coughing and recover.

"It's alright, I'll go back and get it when I have some free time."

"No way." Song Lingge refused without even thinking.

“You’re sick, are you expecting me to just stand by and watch? Why are you being so polite with your own daughter? Isn’t it my duty to take care of you? Or are you feeling unwell and don’t want to make the trip? Then give me the keys, and I’ll go back and get them for you.”
