"What happened? How did the house get like this in just a few days?"

Fang Guanghua, mindful that they were in a hospital, lowered his voice, but his tone was full of reproach without asking why.

Zhou Songmei felt a dull ache in her heart, but his cold actions would no longer hurt her as much as before.

“Zizai had a high fever, and I took care of him for several days without sleep. Your mother could have just cleaned up by herself when she got back, but she kept scolding me. I was so tired that I don’t know how I fainted.”

“She’s tired too, so please be understanding. You know what kind of person Li Meimei is. Asking her to come over for the New Year isn’t really about letting her enjoy herself, it’s about causing her trouble. There can’t be too much going on at home, so you should take on more responsibility since you’re young.”

With Zhou Songmei at home with the child, how much could she possibly do? Fang Guanghua neither saw it nor cared.

However, he had witnessed Jiang Yunlan's life in the Li family from beginning to end.

Moreover, even if Jiang Yunlan was angry, she would endure any grievance as long as it was for Fang Guanghua's sake.

In this respect, Zhou Songmei, Li Meimei... none of them could do it.

Therefore, Fang Guanghua believed it was only right for Jiang Yunlan to make his woman suffer.

Zhou Songmei, however, disagreed.

Is Zizai her only child? If the child has a high fever, he might become mentally disabled if she's not careful. Has she ever bothered Fang Guanghua? And now he can say such cold things.

So, she was scolded by Jiang Yunlan to the point of fainting and being hospitalized, and it turned out to be Jiang Yunlan's fault?

Zhou Songmei gave a cold laugh, her pale face devoid of color.

This cold snort lacked any imposing force, but it added a touch of desolation, making the person appear utterly broken.

"Why?"

Her face was frighteningly haggard, but her eyes remained bright, staring unblinkingly at Fang Guanghua.

Fang Guanghua was stunned.

He hadn't heard Zhou Songmei speak to him like that in a long time.

From the moment Zhou Songmei came to him for refuge, their relationship seemed to naturally evolve into one where he was the master and Zhou Songmei was the subordinate.

He had gotten used to Zhou Songmei doing whatever he said.

But today, Zhou Songmei actually asked him what gave him the right.

Why?

He gave them, mother and child, a place to live and a home, and now he supports them all.

If we really want to assign blame, Zhou Songmei could have simply aborted the child and that would have been the end of it. Besides, the child wasn't born with his consent in the first place.

Zhou Songmei also used their youthful affection and the child to coerce him into doing many wrong things.

This even caused him to miss out on the love of his life.

Now, he has not abandoned them because of the past, and he is taking good care of them.

How could Zhou Songmei have the nerve to ask that question, "On what grounds?"

"Why should I? Zhou Songmei, are you out of your mind? If it weren't for me, you and your son wouldn't even have a place to live. How dare you say that?"

Fang Guanghua's face, though strained from the force of his accusation, was deliberately kept low, creating a bizarre and sinister look.

The scars, especially those still clearly visible on the nose, add a touch of the bizarre and comical.

His appearance has changed dramatically in such a short time since he left school.

That face no longer held any childlike innocence; it was now filled with cunning and scheming.

Zhou Songmei suddenly thought of Qiao Nansheng, the man standing next to Song Lingge, who was like a perfect match for her.

Why was Song Lingge able to win the admiration of such a man?

Zhou Songmei found it both pathetic and laughable.

Even though Song Lingge was kept in the dark, as the instigator of all the events, she secretly felt a sense of satisfaction.

She had always planned that if Fang Guanghua successfully won Song Lingge's heart, one day Song Lingge would discover that the man she loved was actually Zhou Songmei's man, and that his pursuit of her wasn't out of love, but entirely for another woman—who was also her father's nominal illegitimate daughter. How devastated would she be?

Just thinking about it makes Zhou Songmei's blood boil.

However, she was instantly deflated.

Because Song Lingge is still the same Song Lingge, and has not been harmed in the slightest because of her.

She even began to envy the wonderful man standing next to her.

Fang Guanghua, the man she thought she would always have in her grasp, actually became infatuated with Song Lingge.

However, given Fang Guanghua's current state, not only Song Lingge, but even Zhou Songmei wouldn't look down on him. Only that foolish woman, Li Meimei, would treat him like a treasure.

While Fang Guanghua was criticizing her for what she deserved, Zhou Songmei also wanted to criticize him.

Given his current appearance, abilities, and undeniable status as a married man, what makes him so covetous of Song Lingge?

They're both rats in the gutter, neither of them should look down on the other!

Zhou Songmei could only think these words in her heart; she could not say them aloud.

Even among rats from the same sewer, there are differences in strength.

It's obvious that she's the weaker one.

However, in order to get revenge on Song Lingge, Zhou Songmei was able to remain hidden in Qianxing Village for more than ten years. She knew what her greatest advantage was.

Her perseverance is far beyond what ordinary people can match.

A tear slid down Zhou Songmei's cheek, a reminder of her unbearable past.

"Why?"

She asked the question again.

Fang Guanghua was even more bewildered; this woman was truly insane.

Now I feel more and more that Zhou Songmei and Li Meimei are not even a hair on Song Lingge's head.

How blind he must have been to mistake a fish eye for a pearl?

"week……"

“Because we grew up together, our hearts are filled with nothing but you,” Zhou Songmei interrupted Fang Guanghua just as he was about to speak.

Her tears weren't for him, but now she was going to use them to her advantage.

If she falls out with Fang Guanghua now, her future days will be really tough.

“Zizai is my son, isn’t he yours too? Why didn’t I abort him back then? Is being pregnant out of wedlock something to be proud of? It’s just because I didn’t want our love child to be lost. So I was willing to endure everyone’s condemnation to give birth to him. I can ignore other people’s misunderstandings, but you, what right do you have to criticize me? Have you forgotten our past?”

The feelings of youth are the most unforgettable.

Zhou Songmei was gambling that Fang Guanghua's initial feelings for her were genuine.

“For you, I can tolerate sharing you with others, and I can tolerate your aunt constantly picking fights. But you need to know that I do all of this for you. Why should they? Your aunt was mistreated at the Li family's house, which was her own doing. She made things difficult for Li Meimei back then; that's their personal grudge. Why should I bear the consequences?”

Zhou Songmei was in tears, her face pale and sorrowful, which truly evoked pity in people.

"Guanghua, have you really forgotten our past?"
