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

"No need for that trouble, I can just go back and get it when I have time." Song Jianping didn't dare to look Song Lingge in the eye and made up an excuse.

Song Lingge frowned slightly, gazing silently at Song Jianping without saying a word.

It wasn't until Song Jianping felt uncomfortable being stared at that he finally spoke up, trying to change the subject: "Is there something on my face?"

Song Lingge maintained the same expression, but then finally spoke, "Dad, are you hiding something from me?"

Song Jianping stood up from the sofa, pretended to cough a few times, and went to the wardrobe to rummage through the drawers, but after busying himself for a long time, it was unclear what he was doing.

Sure enough, when people feel guilty, they pretend to be very busy.

Song Lingge watched his performance quietly.

"Huh? I remember there used to be a bright red cotton quilt, but your mom thought the color was too flashy and wouldn't let us use it. Where did you put it?"

"You forgot? I gave it to my aunt! That was so long ago."

He's pretending, pretending, pretending. Let's see how long he can keep up this act.

"Dad, I just asked you that!"

"Huh? What are you asking me?" Song Jianping asked in a pretentious manner.

This time, however, Song Lingge didn't intend to let him off so easily; some things needed to be resolved.

"I just asked you if you were hiding something from me?" Song Lingge repeated, looking at Song Jianping very seriously.

Song Jianping also realized that Song Lingge was very serious this time, and he could no longer be perfunctory.

So he flung his hands around, adopting the posture of an elder: "What kind of attitude is this? How can you talk to your father like that?"

Unreasonable elders often resort to using their status to intimidate people when they cannot persuade them with reason.

"I've been to Hele Manor. Why is Zhou Songmei living in that house?"

Song Lingge ignored Song Jianping and went straight to asking her own question.

"Don't tell me you're just feeling sorry for her. I've never seen anyone give away a house as a form of financial aid. Besides, Nie Ergou lives there too. They live together in my house? And you're living here?"

Song Jianping raised his head and looked directly at Song Lingge, trying to see what his daughter was thinking.

But this time, Song Jianping discovered that his daughter, who usually seemed naive and innocent, actually had a pair of deep, unfathomable eyes that he couldn't see through.

For the first time, he felt a sense of pressure in front of his daughter.

After returning from Nanzhou University of Foreign Languages, he had thought about what he should say when he faced Song Lingge again.

However, he really had no idea how to explain it.

So he quietly moved back to Nanzhou Middle School, intending to hide for a while. He knew this period wouldn't be too long, but he didn't expect Song Lingge to find him so quickly.

His original plan was that Song Lingge would only contact him on weekends. He would call home on weekends, and Zhou Songmei and Nie Ergou would definitely not answer the phone, thus creating the illusion that no one was home.

Just like two weeks ago, when he went to Yuning County, Song Lingge must have looked for him, but he could get away with it by pretending that no one was home.

This time, he hopes it will be the same; he'll hide for as long as he can.

There were many things he really didn't know how to tell Song Lingge.

Having lived most of his life, Song Jianping is honestly quite arrogant. It's not easy for a rural man like him, who has no parents and has to take care of his younger sister, to have achieved his current status.

The only two people I might have misjudged in my entire life were Zhou Yuhong and Nie Ergou.

To be honest, he was very nervous when he went to get a paternity test.

Although they were both daughters, he naturally felt a deeper paternal affection for Zhou Songmei.

His feelings for Zhou Yuhong were different from his feelings for Zhao Jueyu; they were genuine.

Zhou Yuhong's gentleness and thoughtfulness were the most cherished haven for him.

Because he loved Zhou Songmei and felt guilty, he treated her much better than he treated Song Lingge.

He would find it hard to accept if Zhou Songmei were not his daughter.

Although he was scared, Song Jianping certainly wouldn't be happy to raise someone else's child for free.

So as soon as the seed of doubt sprouted, he immediately went to get a paternity test.

He went through a very difficult time waiting for the results.

But the moment the result appeared in his hands, he calmed down.

Then, I was consumed by anger.

Zhou Songmei was actually Zhou Yuhong's child with another man; he was determined to find out the adulterer.

So he went to Yuning County that very day.

He didn't tell anyone about any of these actions.

Even though Zhou Songmei and Nie Ergou spent every day with him, they didn't notice anything wrong with him.

Song Jianping is a very calm and composed person.

He wore out several pairs of shoes, but perseverance paid off, and he finally uncovered the truth.

This truth made him deeply realize the meaning of betrayal once again.

No one could believe that Song Jianping and Nie Ergou were actually inseparable brothers and best friends.

Many people grow up together, but it's not easy to stay together for many years and grow up in harmony.

In other people's eyes, Nie Ergou was a good-for-nothing good-for-nothing, while Song Jianping was a smart and studious college student.

These two people seem like an unlikely match.

However, they became the closest of friends in an unusually harmonious way.

Even Nie Ergou didn't understand why Song Jianping would be willing to be friends with someone like him.

Every time he asked, Song Jianping would always evade the question, but after becoming successful, he never looked down on him and even helped him on many occasions.

Therefore, Nie Ergou was willing to be Song Jianping's underling and do things for him that he couldn't do in person.

This strange combination is the most unbreakable community of interests in Song Jianping's mind.

However, Nie Ergou betrayed him.

Without a doubt, the hurt and frustration caused by this betrayal even exceeded that of Zhou Yuhong.

For a moment, Song Jianping didn't know how to face Zhou Songmei and Nie Ergou.

On Monday morning, when he got home and was about to open the door, he heard Nie Ergou feeding Zizai and teasing him, making him call him "Grandpa".

"Zizai, call him Grandpa!"

"Is Grandpa's noodles delicious?"

Do you like your maternal grandfather? Do you prefer this maternal grandfather or that maternal grandfather?

......

Each call of "Grandpa" was like a sharp knife piercing Song Jianping's heart.

Is he some kind of ox or horse?

Having raised someone else's wife and daughter, now you want to raise someone else's grandson?

Song Jianping took out his key and opened the door.

The moment Nie Ergou saw him, he showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

It was as if everything was taken for granted.

Before the two could speak, the phone rang.

It turned out to be Song Lingge's classmate.

After hanging up the phone, Song Jianping hesitated for a moment.

But this feeling didn't last long, because the phone rang again immediately.

It was Song Lingge's classmate, but Director Yu asked him to call.

Song Jianping suddenly realized that things might be very serious.

The daughter he was raising for someone else is now bullying his own daughter.

So Song Jianping got angrier and angrier, stopped dwelling on it, and immediately went out the door.
