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

Fang Guanghua only came up with this idea the moment he saw Zhou Songmei.

He's currently in the startup phase and needs help.

Zhou Songmei was undoubtedly the best ally.

If Zizai stays in Nanzhou, not only will there be no one to take care of him, but it will also distract them.

Fang Guanghua truly couldn't feel any fatherly love for this child who was already several years old when they first met.

However, he was not a callous person; he acknowledged the child and was willing to provide financial assistance as much as possible.

“He’s still so young, he won’t be used to being away from me.” Zhou Songmei found Fang Guanghua’s suggestion unbelievable.

Fang Guanghua glanced at her and now felt more and more that she was inferior to Song Lingge.

Even in matters of the heart, she doesn't trust him unconditionally like Li Meimei does.

Suddenly, this initial ideal seemed utterly worthless.

If Fang Guanghua weren't short-handed right now, he would have really cut ties with her.

"The child is still young, and his adaptability is at its peak. Is it that he can't live without you, or that you can't live without him?" Fang Guanghua asked dismissively.

He completely failed to understand the feeling of blood ties between a mother and her child.

Zhou Songmei did not answer; she was protesting silently.

"As you know, Mei... Li Meimei is jealous. After all, we are husband and wife now, so I can't always take care of you and your child. To be honest, I don't have much money on me, and the Li family is very wary of me now."

Fang Guanghua tapped Zizai's nose with his index finger; children this age are just the most fun.

"But I plan to go out on my own and start my own business. I hope you can help me. If Zizai is around, you'll definitely have to spend a lot of time taking care of him."

"But......"

"Moreover," Fang Guanghua interrupted Zhou Songmei, not wanting to listen to her, "do you know? Besides the shop on the school's food street, Song Lingge has also opened a new one in the city center."

Zhou Songmei stared wide-eyed at Fang Guanghua, who returned a look of affirmation.

“I know you’ve always been resentful about how different the sisters are. I feel the same way. If we had their family background, we might be even more outstanding than them. That’s why I’m working so humbly in the Li family.”

Fang Guanghua kept a close eye on Zhou Songmei's expression. Seeing that she was clearly moved, he began to paint a rosy picture, outlining his business blueprint.

“I want to prove that I’m no worse than her. Given the right opportunities and support, I’ll definitely do better than her! I believe you think so too. Xiaomei, are you really content to just stay here with Zizai and drift through life?”

Fang Guanghua grabbed Zhou Songmei's shoulders, making her face him.

He tried to brainwash her again: "You've always been smart. You even got into Nanjing Foreign Language School after taking a two-year leave of absence. Really, you're no worse than her. Don't you want to impress them again? Do you want to live the rest of your life with the shame of being expelled?"

During her high school years, Zhou Songmei was expelled from school because she became pregnant out of wedlock.

Song Lingge was expelled from university.

Time is also destiny.

Zhou Songmei was very unwilling. Why was Song Lingge always able to escape unscathed?

"What do you want to do?" Zhou Songmei raised her head and looked at Fang Guanghua with a determined gaze.

......

After summer vacation started, Song Lingge originally had plenty of time to stay at home.

However, since "Song Shi Ji" had just opened, as one of the owners, she had to put more effort into the store, so she went out early and returned late every day.

It wasn't until Zhao Zhangguo realized something was wrong.

Seeing Song Lingge washing up, Zhao Zhangguo nudged Lin Xiuzhi's elbow.

"How long has it been since Lingge last spoke to Nansheng on the phone?" Zhao Zhangguo asked in a low voice.

Lin Xiuzhi rolled her eyes at him, but raised her voice slightly, just loud enough for Song Lingge to hear.

"It's been almost a month, and Nan Sheng does call back every few days, but your precious granddaughter is just too busy!"

Zhao Zhangguo knew she was saying it on purpose for Song Lingge to hear, but he felt sorry for his sensitive granddaughter and lowered his voice.

"Keep your voice down, it won't be good if Lingge hears you. They must be having a fight. Don't always side with outsiders and speak up for that Qiao kid."

Lin Xiuzhi turned her head and glared at Zhao Zhangguo, her voice rising a little in anger.

"How did it become me speaking up for Nansheng? You tell me, how many times did Nansheng call back? Is your granddaughter really that busy that she can't spare a single moment?"

Zhao Zhangguo stopped pretending to be quiet and started arguing with her: "Lingge is such a sensible child. If she ignores him, it must be because he did something to make her angry."

"Oh dear, so your granddaughter is sensible, but Nansheng is not?" Lin Xiuzhi pushed Zhao Zhangguo away and shouted even louder towards the bathroom: "I'm telling you, don't meddle. If you ask me, if there's a conflict, you should talk it out. Only by talking it out can you solve the problem."

"Grandma, I can hear you. You don't need to speak so loudly; it strains your voice," Song Lingge said with a smile, then sat down at the table to eat breakfast.

Zhao Zhangguo and Lin Xiuzhi also sat down at the dining table.

Lin Xiuzhi quietly nudged Zhao Zhangguo under the table, signaling him to speak.

Zhao Zhangguo muttered to himself, "Wasn't he very loud just now? Why am I being made to speak again now?"

However, one look from Lin Xiuzhi was enough to shut him up immediately.

“Lingge, your grandma is right. If you don’t like that Qiao boy, you have to speak up. The two of you need to communicate and not keep it to yourselves. Don’t worry, grandpa will always be on your side.”

As soon as Zhao Zhangguo finished speaking, he received a loving little punch from Lin Xiuzhi.

"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. You don't even know what's going on, yet you're already rushing to take sides and show your loyalty."

Lin Xiuzhi's criticism made Zhao Zhangguo feel extremely wronged. She had just told him to speak, and now she was saying that if he couldn't speak, he shouldn't speak at all.

Zhao Zhangguo felt wronged, but he could only keep it to himself. He secretly winked at Song Lingge to show his dissatisfaction.

Watching the elderly man making jokes and banter, Song Lingge felt much better.

"Grandma, you said Grandpa is eager to take sides, so what about you? Which side are you on?" Song Lingge asked deliberately.

As Lin Xiuzhi peeled a boiled egg for her, she said, "I don't take sides. I am a just and impartial monk, upholding justice for you."

A few jokes made the breakfast atmosphere very harmonious.

Song Lingge ate the eggs peeled by Lin Xiuzhi and the milk poured by Zhao Zhangguo, thoroughly enjoying herself.

Seeing her carefree attitude, Lin Xiuzhi couldn't tell if she was faking it or if it was real.

"Lingge, did you and Nansheng have a fight?"

Song Lingge didn't actually argue with Qiao Nansheng, because they hadn't spoken on the phone for over a month.

Ever since she learned that Jingchu also had computers and heard those words, Song Lingge developed a strange resentment towards Qiao Nansheng.

She knew she was being a bit willful, but she wanted to follow her heart.
