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

Li Fangna was sleeping soundly. When Xia Mingyuan got up to answer the phone, she just turned over slightly and continued to sleep.

However, in my half-asleep state, I seemed to hear my daughter crying.

When Li Fangna ran over, she saw her father frantically swinging his belt at his daughter, and Xia Jiaojiao curled up on the bed crying.

"Old Xia, what are you doing?" Li Fangna instinctively stopped Xia Mingyuan.

Xia Mingyuan, perhaps tired of beating her, threw away the belt, pointed at Xia Jiaojiao, and roared, "Ask her what she did!"

While comforting Xia Mingyuan, Li Fangna gave Xia Jiaojiao a meaningful look.

Unexpectedly, Xia Jiaojiao saw that her backer had arrived, and her voice became very loud: "I didn't do anything. I was sleeping soundly when my dad woke me up."

She was determined to deny it to the death, since Song Lingge was completely innocent anyway.

Xia Mingyuan was so angry that he picked up the belt he had just thrown down: "Still not admitting it? You're about to die and you still lie. I'll beat you to death, you dog, so you won't embarrass me in public."

"Alright!" Li Fangna hugged Xia Mingyuan tightly. "What exactly happened? Tell me! What's the point of hitting her?"

Xia Mingyuan looked at Li Fangna and angrily pounded his head.

"A doting mother often spoils her son. You're still protecting her. Do you even know how much trouble she's caused?"

After Xia Mingyuan became the director, he paid great attention to his image, appearing to be a refined and knowledgeable mentor, unlike Yu Dezhi who seemed afraid that others wouldn't know he was the director.

Therefore, Xia Mingyuan often gives people the illusion that he is more honest and steady than Yu Dezhi.

Only Li Fangna, who had been his wife for many years, knew his true nature, but this was the first time she had ever seen him so defeated.

Li Fangna knew that Xia Jiaojiao must have gotten into serious trouble this time, otherwise Xia Mingyuan wouldn't have lost his composure like this.

Xia Mingyuan's reaction startled Xia Jiaojiao, who even forgot to cry.

She just didn't understand. Even if she had bad intentions, she hadn't succeeded in carrying them out, so what was the big deal? Couldn't Xia Mingyuan handle it?

"Old Xia, don't panic. Tell me what happened. What good would it do to kill her now? We'd be better off listening to her and seeing if there's any way to save her."

Although Li Fangna was just a housewife, she was the backbone of the entire Xia family.

After hearing her words, Xia Mingyuan calmed down.

Although he did not doubt the truthfulness of Wan Jianguo's words, he believed that it was very likely that he was exaggerating.

"Old Wan just called me and said that this guy drugged someone at the party tonight and even arranged for Huang Mao to rape someone. Can you believe that's something a human being would do?" Xia Mingyuan said angrily, and as he spoke, he wanted to step forward and slap Xia Jiaojiao a few more times.

His words were so shocking that Li Fangna was speechless for a moment. After a long while, she murmured to herself, "Is there some mistake? How could Jiaojiao do such a thing?"

Xia Mingyuan shook his head with a wry smile: "I wish it were fake, but Lao Wan made the call himself, how could it be fake?"

Li Fangna pounced on the bed and shoved Xia Jiaojiao, saying, "Jiaojiao, tell your mother that these are all lies that people are making against you."

Xia Jiaojiao pouted and said unconvinced, "Even if these things happened, she didn't get into any trouble! Since nothing happened, why did she take it all to Principal Wan? She's clearly trying to mess with me."

"You...you..." Xia Mingyuan was furious. He pointed at her and said "you" several times, not knowing how to phrase it.

Xia Jiaojiao persisted, saying, "That's exactly how it is. I wanted to drug her, but I failed! Does having that thought make it illegal? There are countless people in the world who want others to die every day!"

"Snapped--"

Xia Jiaojiao covered her face and timidly called out, "Mom—"

Li Fangna's hand trembled slightly; she used all her strength to slap him.

"Old Xia, what exactly did Principal Wan say? According to Jiao Jiao, the girl wasn't harmed. Shouldn't she be treated leniently?"

Xia Mingyuan sighed: "Not hurt? A perfectly normal girl, touching herself in public and making those moaning sounds, how are you supposed to face others?"

"Who? Who are you talking about?" Xia Jiaojiao was confused.

Xia Mingyuan ignored her and looked at Li Fangna, saying, "Your daughter drugged someone to harm them, but who knew that the idiot would harm another girl instead. Do you know who the girl she wanted to harm was? Qin Sihai's granddaughter-in-law. Old Wan just said that Qin Sihai called him to put pressure on him not long after the party ended."

Li Fangna couldn't hold back any longer. Crying and wailing, she picked up the belt that Xia Mingyuan had thrown away and swung it at Xia Jiaojiao.

"You damned jinx! Why did you have to mess with someone like this? Do you think your parents' lives are too easy?"

Li Fangna's belt lashed out at Xia Jiaojiao, startling Xia Mingyuan, who quickly grabbed her.

Xia Jiaojiao was completely stunned; she had only just learned what Xia Mingyuan had said.

How could the drugged juice not have been drunk by Song Lingge? How could someone else have drunk it?

What exactly went wrong?

That night, the Xia family was shrouded in gloom.

None of the three slept; each was preoccupied with their own thoughts.

After finally making it to dawn, Xia Mingyuan immediately went out to find Wan Jianguo.

Li Fangna wasn't idle either; she went back to her parents' home to try and find a solution.

Only Xia Jiaojiao remained silent, curled up on the bed.

She didn't really think it was a big deal; it seemed to be classified as attempted crime.

An attempted crime is simply a crime that was not successfully committed; it's a criminal act that was never actually carried out. Does that mean they can arrest her and put her in jail?

As for the girl who was accidentally injured, it was purely an accident. Just give her some money to make up for it!

What saddened and disheartened Xia Jiaojiao was the unintentional remark Xia Mingyuan had made.

Qin Sihai's granddaughter-in-law.

Does this mean they all assume that Song Lingge is already Qiao Nansheng's woman?

Dating is not the same as marriage, and even married couples can get divorced.

She hasn't given up, so how can these people so naturally assume they'll definitely be together?

Xia Jiaojiao was not only unwilling, but she had never wanted to kill Song Lingge as much as she did now.

She was lucky to escape last night, but she might not be able to next time.

Since that girl was infected, it means the medicine is fine. We just need to be more careful to make sure Song Lingge takes it.

Xia Jiaojiao felt more and more confident as she thought about it, and accidentally touched the bruises she had been injured by.

"Hiss—" Xia Jiaojiao gasped.

Xia Mingyuan and Li Fangna had never beaten her so brutally before, and it was all because of Song Lingge.

She will repay Song Lingge with these scars sooner or later.
