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

It was purely coincidental that Song Lingge was able to recognize Xia Jiaojiao's handwriting.

When she and Qiao Nansheng first got together, Jing Chu, as Qiao Nansheng's only close friend, reported some of Qiao Nansheng's past to Song Lingge, including love letters handwritten by Xia Jiaojiao.

Song Lingge had no intention of peeking at other people's letters, but she did remember the neat handwriting on the cover.

Previously, Song Lingge had never taken Xia Jiaojiao seriously. But gradually, she noticed that Xia Jiaojiao would always pop up from various nooks and crannies around Qiao Nansheng.

Her relationship with Qiao Nansheng was not clearly defined before, so all of Xia Jiaojiao's actions were understandable.

However, this does not mean that Song Lingge must be magnanimous and tolerate her provocations every time.

Besides, I had made a promise with Qiao Nansheng that we would announce our relationship once he returned to China. My family and close friends already know, so this is a good opportunity to let others know as well.

Song Lingge dressed up for the occasion, precisely for this purpose.

This time, in addition to being a gathering of outstanding students, it was also a gathering she and Qiao Nansheng attended together as boyfriend and girlfriend.

Song Lingge simply hoped that clarifying their relationship would reduce some unnecessary trouble.

The party was held in the school's small auditorium.

When Song Lingge appeared in the lobby arm in arm with Qiao Nansheng, it still caused quite a stir.

Yu Dezhi asked with a mixture of curiosity and delight, "The two of you?"

Qiao Nansheng glanced at Song Lingge, handing the initiative over to her.

"Yes, Director Yu, Nansheng is my boyfriend." Song Lingge said with a faint smile, composed and poised.

"Great news! Congratulations! You two are a match made in heaven!" Yu Dezhi said repeatedly.

Although Song Lingge had caused a lot of trouble in the past, overall, these two students were his best students and brought him a lot of honor.

Yu Dezhi was genuinely happy. One was a rising star in the literary world, and the other was a diplomatic talent; their story was a legend wherever it was told.

Of course, he had to let his old friend, partner, and rival Xia Mingyuan know such good news.

Yu Dezhi waved to Xia Mingyuan: "Old Xia—"

Xia Mingyuan and Xia Jiaojiao arrived together, and quite a few people were looking in their direction.

As soon as Xia Mingyuan walked over, Yu Dezhi put his arm around his shoulder and said with a smile, "I have some good news for you. Qiao Nansheng and Song Lingge from our class are dating."

As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Jiaojiao, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

It's all because Xia Jiaojiao was too high-profile before. Her crush on Qiao Nansheng was as well-known as Fang Guanghua's pursuit of Song Lingge.

Yu Dezhi, though gossipy, wasn't usually so annoying as to deliberately provoke others. But Xia Mingyuan was always openly or secretly making things difficult for him, and given this rare opportunity to mock him, Yu Dezhi, despite his petty nature, wasn't going to let it go.

Xia Jiaojiao's face indeed turned ugly, but Xia Mingyuan, as expected of an old fox, remained calm and composed even when Mount Tai collapsed before him, and still congratulated Qiao Nansheng and Song Lingge with a smile.

They were speaking quite loudly, and since the people around them were already paying attention, the whole lobby soon knew that Song Lingge and Qiao Nansheng were dating.

They were truly evenly matched, so the vast majority of the blessings they received were well wishes.

The only discordant voice came from Xia Jiaojiao.

Her years of open love for Qiao Nansheng were nothing but a chaotic mess on her own.

Unable to offer her blessings or ignore the situation, she ultimately had to leave the party early at Xia Mingyuan's urging.

Xia Mingyuan was naturally worried that Xia Jiaojiao's fiery temper might cause her to lose her temper and embarrass him in public.

He had told her long ago that it was fine if Qiao Nansheng didn't like her, but this daughter was just too stubborn.

He used to let Qiao Nansheng be single, so he let her be. But now that Qiao Nansheng and Song Lingge are together, how could he possibly let her go unchecked?

Song Lingge was quite surprised by Xia Jiaojiao's early departure.

Before coming, she was even prepared to make a big splash. As Qiao Nansheng's girlfriend, she was determined to face the fierce competition from her rival.

To her surprise, Xia Jiaojiao gave up so quickly.

However, she always felt that Xia Jiaojiao didn't seem surprised that she and Qiao Nansheng were together.

Her reaction was as if she already knew, showing extreme impatience, but not being too rude.

Is Xia Jiaojiao really so willing?

Song Lingge mocked herself inwardly, perhaps she was overthinking things; Xia Jiaojiao wasn't the kind of person who couldn't let go of things once she had taken them in.

The party went on in a lukewarm fashion for the rest of the evening. Because of his work, Qiao Nansheng was surrounded by many senior students asking him about his situation. Song Lingge then withdrew from the group and went to the snack table to get something to eat.

Unexpectedly, this led to an encounter with an old acquaintance—Jiang Yunhai.

The two of them happened to fork the same piece of cake.

"Oh! It's you. I really didn't expect you to come too." Song Lingge greeted her.

"You're so famous now, I don't even dare to go up and say hello to you," Jiang Yunhai said with a smile.

"Not at all." Song Lingge didn't have a deep relationship with Jiang Yunhai. After greeting him, she found herself speechless and could only manage an awkward laugh.

Jiang Yunhai, on the other hand, was much more outgoing. Ignoring her embarrassment, he smiled and said, "Now that you're famous, do you need someone to take your photos? I've opened a photography studio."

She's quite good at finding opportunities to promote herself. Song Lingge hadn't considered this before, but now she has.

"Okay, I'll contact you first if I need anything like this in the future."

After another silence, Song Lingge realized that she might have been spending too much time writing alone and was not sure how to interact with others.

She was usually surrounded by close friends and family, and was somewhat at a loss when suddenly faced with so many strangers like today.

Jiang Yunhai looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, lowered his voice: "Have you found the person who took the photo?"

After the nude photo incident, she searched for a while, but never found the person, and eventually forgot about him.

People really do forget things that don't actually cause harm.

"Do you still want to investigate?" Jiang Yunhai asked.

Song Lingge looked at the person again. Although they didn't have a deep relationship before, they now felt that their conversation was unusually familiar.

She trusted this person for no reason, just like when they first met.

"Do you have any information?"

Jiang Yunhai handed Song Lingge a business card: "It's not convenient to talk here. This is my business card. You can contact me when you have time."

The evening gown had no pockets, and Song Lingge held the business card tightly in her hand.
