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

Before Song Lingge could answer, the two little ones jumped for joy.

In the dark of night, what can compare to the dazzling fireworks?

Setting off fireworks is irresistibly attractive to both young and old children.

Everything was the same as before. Qin Yu and Tang Shuxin were still looking after the two children, while Qiao Nansheng and Song Lingge went to the front to light the fireworks.

As the fireworks went off, Song Lingge and Qiao Nansheng turned around at Qin Yu's loud shouts.

Song Lingge knew this was one of the two men's old tricks, their goal being to get a group photo of them, so she cooperated fully.

However, Song Lingge did not expect that this time would be different from the last.

We definitely need to take a group photo.

However, the content is much richer.

The moment the shutter clicked, she felt a soft, warm sensation on her cheek.

Song Lingge stared wide-eyed in surprise, her lips agape in astonishment.

This wasn't their first kiss, but the man was incredibly bold, especially in front of his aunt and uncle, and he wasn't even afraid of setting a bad example for the children.

Song Lingge could already foresee that once the photos were developed, they would definitely be seen by everyone in the Qin family.

Ah this...

Song Lingge dared not think any further.

She doesn't object to a sense of ritual; on the contrary, she likes it very much.

But can these intimate acts be done behind closed doors?

In front of so many people, Song Lingge still felt a shyness that she couldn't easily shake off.

After taking the photos, Qin Yu, with his family in tow, made his successful exit, leaving Qiao Nansheng and Song Lingge to enjoy some alone time together.

After they left, Song Lingge punched Qiao Nansheng in frustration.

"Don't be angry. Last year's fireworks photo had a really great atmosphere, so I want to take one every year," Qiao Nansheng explained with a grin.

Song Lingge rolled her eyes at him: "I didn't object to taking pictures! But what kind of expression did I make just now?"

Qiao Nansheng pulled her into his arms. It turned out she was angry that the photos wouldn't turn out well.

But how could that not look good? That's exactly what we're looking for – her most genuine reaction at that moment.

A staged photo won't have the same effect.

"What were you and your aunt talking about in the back just now?" Qiao Nansheng asked, finally getting a chance to be alone with Song Lingge.

Although the large family is very lively, a time for just the two of them is rare. He had to beg Qin Yu for a long time and pay a great price to get this opportunity.

Song Lingge looked at him thoughtfully and asked, "What were you talking about with Uncle Qin just now?"

"Never mind, we were just chatting." That was a secret Qiao Nansheng cherished, and he couldn't let her find out.

“We were just chatting,” Song Lingge retorted, not to be outdone.

The two men locked eyes in a defiant stare.

Qiao Nansheng's eyes were as bright as if they were filled with stars, and Song Lingge's heart was burning as if it would jump out of her chest. In the end, she gave in.

Despite her refusal to admit defeat, she changed the subject, diverting Qiao Nansheng's attention: "When are Aunt Qin and Uncle Qiao leaving?"

"It's only a few days away, tentatively scheduled for the fourth day of the Lunar New Year." Qiao Nansheng also wanted to have a good chat with her.

"So fast?"

"Compared to previous years, they've stayed in China the longest this time," Qiao Nansheng said, his tone full of confidence.

Qin Rong and Qiao Guangzhi were always very busy when he was young, so he didn't have much time to spend with them.

In some ways, he was even less happy than Song Lingge.

Although Song Lingge didn't spend much time with her parents, Zhao Zhangguo and Lin Xiuzhi were always by her side.

Qiao Nansheng spent time at the Qin family's residence and at the Qiao family's residence, and was sometimes taken to Qin Rong and Qiao Guangzhi's side.

He was truly like a drifting duckweed, wandering from place to place.

However, he couldn't tell others these things, because if he did, people would assume he was showing off.

This is a loneliness that belongs only to the depths of his own heart.

At this moment, Song Lingge was unaware of Qiao Nansheng's fleeting moment of dejection.

"I was worried my dad would come and cause trouble today, so I made an appointment with him that he wouldn't come today, and we'd find some time later to have a meal together with your parents," Song Lingge said hesitantly.

Qiao Nansheng ruffled her hair and said affectionately, "Okay, I'll tell them when I get back and ask them to reserve a day."

“My dad is that kind of person…you should tell your parents the truth first.” Song Jianping’s shamelessness ultimately hurt her self-esteem.

No one wants their family member to embarrass or fail in front of their partner.

"No, actually I heard from my mom that Grandma Lin talked to them about it last time she came."

In the hearts of the Qiao and Qin families, Song Jianping was only Song Lingge's biological father.

In their hearts, their true in-laws are Zhao Zhangguo and Lin Xiuzhi.

At the same time, they felt genuinely sorry for Song Lingge's plight.

This girl didn't go astray; instead, she became more and more outstanding through her own efforts.

That father just takes things as they come.

Song Lingge never felt the slightest bit of contempt from them.

Even the fact that Lin Xiuzhi came to see them was something Qiao Nansheng wouldn't have known if he hadn't mentioned it.

It turns out that all these people were secretly loving her in their own ways.

Song Lingge felt a mix of emotions.

Qiao Nansheng noticed her emotions, embraced her, and gave her strength.

His gentle yet firm voice came from above Song Lingge's head: "Don't let these things bother you. He is him, and you are you."

Song Lingge buried her head in his chest and returned his tight hug.

It's so good to have Qiao Nansheng around!

……

Li family.

Jiang Yunlan felt extremely uneasy.

The Li family treated her like a maid; she not only cooked the New Year's Eve dinner by herself, but also cleaned the house by herself.

Most importantly, Li Meimei wouldn't let her eat at the table and told her to eat in the kitchen by herself.

Li Meimei is so immature, yet the Li family turns a blind eye.

Fang Guanghua secretly comforted her, but told her to bear with it and let Li Meimei vent her anger.

Li Meimei harbors resentment towards Jiang Yunlan, a resentment that dates back to when she married Fang Guanghua.

Jiang Yunlan made things difficult for her, so she naturally had to retaliate.

This is the Li family's territory, her home. How could she possibly be afraid of Jiang Yunlan?

Jiang Yunlan, though shrewd, is not particularly cunning.

She thought she could put on airs in front of Li Meimei just because she was Fang Guanghua's stepmother, but she was too overconfident and that's why she ended up like this.

If she stayed in Yuning, far from the emperor's reach, Li Meimei wouldn't have the energy to cause her any trouble.

But now that she's come all this way to Nanzhou herself, don't blame Li Meimei for being impolite.

This time, Fang Guanghua told her that they were going to the Li family's house for the New Year. She thought she was a guest of honor in the Li family and boasted about it to Zhou Songmei quite a bit.

As it turned out, the two men's fates were remarkably similar; both ended up cooking for other people's families.

No one should laugh at anyone else.
