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

Xia Jiaojiao genuinely likes Qiao Nansheng, and she longs for a healthy romantic relationship.

However, the repeated setbacks, coupled with the sight of Song Lingge and Qiao Nansheng showing affection at the party that night, twisted her mind.

She began to reflect on whether she hadn't done enough or been willing to go all out.

If she had seduced Qiao Nansheng like Song Lingge did, he might have already been hers.

How can you have a healthy relationship if there's no love involved?

The most urgent task is to get Qiao Nansheng first.

Xia Jiaojiao moved closer to Li Fangna, and Li Fangna, seeing that her plan had worked, also moved closer to her daughter.

"Jiaojiao, think about it yourself, isn't that true? Everyone knows you like Qiao Nansheng, but has it been effective all this time? Have you been using the wrong methods? Why is Song Lingge able to surpass him? It's because she fought hard and snatched him away!"

Xia Jiaojiao thought Li Fangna's words made a lot of sense: "Then what do you think I should do?"

"You've done too much. Qiao Nansheng and Song Lingge have just started dating, and it's a new relationship for them. How can you expect Qiao Nansheng to treat you well if you're targeting Song Lingge?"

"Am I supposed to do nothing? Now that Nansheng is working for the government, it's difficult for me to even see him." Xia Jiaojiao was somewhat discouraged.

She and Qiao Nansheng no longer had as many opportunities to meet as they did in the United States.

Even if she were shameless and willing to swallow her pride to seduce him, she would still need the opportunity!

Li Fangna slapped her thigh: "I told you not to argue with your dad, but you wouldn't listen. Your dad has a chance!"

Xia Jiaojiao asked with a hint of disbelief, "Him? What could he possibly do?"

"Don't look down on your dad, he's way smarter than you," Li Fangna said, deliberately keeping Xia Jiaojiao in suspense.

If they reveal it too easily, Xia Jiaojiao will easily see through their conspiracy. They will have to beg and plead with her to do so, so as not to mess things up.

Xia Jiaojiao, without a second thought, eagerly asked, "What exactly is the method? Tell me!"

Li Fangna pretended to speak, but then immediately shut up, deliberately saying, "Never mind, I won't tell you. If you cause trouble or make a scene, your dad will definitely be furious with me."

This completely piqued Xia Jiaojiao's curiosity. She shook Li Fangna's arm and pleaded, "Just tell me, what's the method? I promise I won't cause any trouble."

"Oh no, no, this isn't as simple as you think. We need a plan. You're too impatient, no way." Li Fangna knew the fish was about to take the bait.

Seeing that Li Fangna remained silent, Xia Jiaojiao had a sudden thought and guessed that she might be doing this on purpose. So she tentatively said, "Fine, don't tell me then. I don't care if you find out. I'll just do it my own way. Anyway, I have plenty of patience with Nansheng."

The old fox is spicier than the new one. Li Fangna knew that Xia Jiaojiao had also started testing her. Now was the perfect time for the mother and daughter to test each other's patience. Whoever couldn't hold back would lose.

“Actually, I think your dad is right. You don’t need to hang yourself on Qiao Nansheng. Although he is very well-off in terms of family background and personal qualities, there are plenty of men in Nanzhou who are better than him. You should really broaden your horizons.”

"No, I've chosen Nansheng, he's the best!" Everything else is negotiable, but when it comes to giving up Qiao Nansheng, Xia Jiaojiao is adamant.

"You're such a stubborn girl. What if Qiao Nansheng marries Song Lingge?" Li Fangna was starting to feel exasperated.

Xia Jiaojiao was pretty, and her family was fairly well-off. They strongly supported her pursuing Qiao Nansheng. However, Qiao Nansheng was like a block of wood; no matter how much Xia Jiaojiao tried to win him over, he remained indifferent.

Before, I was single, so no matter how much I pursued someone, at worst I'd be labeled as having a one-sided crush, or, to put it more nicely, as being devoted. But things are different now. If I continue to be so willful and reckless, who knows how nasty the rumors will become, maybe even involving a mistress.

Xia Jiaojiao was thick-skinned and didn't care. But she and Xia Mingyuan couldn't just leave her without helping them plan.

"Do you know how much I hate your attitude? They just got together, they haven't even graduated yet, and you guys are acting like they're already married. Whether they can even get married is still uncertain! Besides, even if they are married, can't they get a divorce?"

Xia Jiaojiao was about to continue speaking when Li Fangna covered her mouth: "My little darling, you really have no sense of propriety when it comes to your mouth, why do you say everything?"

"I just can't stand your resigned attitude!" Xia Jiaojiao said angrily.

She had heard enough of the arguments that Qiao Nansheng and Song Lingge were together and that she should back out.

Why?

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything more, okay? As an apology from your mother, I'll tell you about your father's arrangements," Li Fangna said with a smile.

Xia Jiaojiao is so impatient; to avoid any unforeseen complications, we can't keep testing her.

Li Fangna's expression was ingratiating, and Xia Jiaojiao deliberately said arrogantly, "Then let's listen, but let's make it clear first, I may not use his method, I'm just listening and seeing."

What a tough talker.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say. I'll just say what I want, but I'm worried your dad will be furious with me if you mess it up!"

"Then stop being so mysterious and just tell me." Xia Jiaojiao also lowered her attitude, afraid that if she continued to be arrogant, Li Fangna would keep rambling on and on.

Li Fangna looked around mysteriously before speaking: "I heard your father say that in a couple of days, Principal Wan will be hosting a gathering and will invite Professor Qin, Qiao Nansheng, and Song Lingge to dinner as an apology."

"What business is it of mine if they eat?" Xia Jiaojiao said anxiously.

"Why can't you get it right, kid? Although it's organized in Principal Wan's name, the actual person in charge is your dad, just like at the last party. You'll be going with your dad, but let's make this clear first, you have to sincerely apologize..."

"Apologize? Why should I? Who should I apologize to?" Xia Jiaojiao couldn't understand. Why should she be treated as inferior and have to apologize at a perfectly good dinner party?

Li Fangna was furious at her daughter's idiot brain, but she couldn't confront her directly at this moment. So she coaxed her, saying, "Did you try to drug him and fail? He didn't pursue the matter, so why don't you be magnanimous and apologize? If he sees you back down and apologize, won't Qiao Nansheng be less angry? Then you'll have him wrapped around your little finger?"

Hearing this, Xia Jiaojiao felt that Li Fangna was deceiving her, and that the real purpose of this dinner was to make her a sacrifice to maintain appearances between the adults.

Xia Jiaojiao didn't want to leave a bad impression on Qin Sihai.

But how can she see Qiao Nansheng if she doesn't agree to their request?
