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

"When the landlady said she was going back, I noticed she didn't look well. I was worried she might be sick, so I followed her out, and that's when I saw..."

"Who did you see?" Song Lingge asked anxiously.

At the crucial moment, Old Zhang was still hesitant and seemed very troubled. Old Zhang's words could drive anyone crazy.

"Who is it? You stopped me because you wanted to tell me, so why aren't you saying anything now?" Song Lingge's tone became even more impatient.

A slow pace can sometimes really make people lose their temper.

"It's...it's that..."

Song Lingge seemed to realize something: "Is it my dad?"

Old Zhang nodded with a sigh of relief. He was just an employee; how could he gossip about his boss? Luckily, Song Lingge figured it out herself.

"You... why didn't you say something like this sooner? Next time something like this happens, say it earlier." Song Lingge was furious.

"I...I..." Old Zhang watched Song Lingge's retreating figure, struggling for a long time before failing to utter a complete sentence.

Upon suddenly learning about Song Jianmei from Lao Zhang, Song Lingge decided to find the brother and sister immediately.

She had initially thought that after her outburst at Hele Manor, Song Jianping would at least quiet down for a while. Who knew that he would cause trouble again in such a short time?

It's unclear what Song Jianping's purpose was in visiting Song Jianmei this time.

Are they here to ask for money again? I can't think of anything else.

I went there specifically to warn them last time, but it seems to have had no effect at all.

As Song Lingge walked, she pondered, her mind a jumbled mess.

Fortunately, Song Jianmei's new home was very close to the store, and they arrived quickly.

"Knock knock knock—" Song Lingge knocked on the door impatiently.

"Knock, knock, knock, it's so noisy! If no one answers after knocking for so long, they're definitely not home. What's the point of knocking anymore?"

The door opened, but it wasn't Song Jianmei's house; it was her neighbor's house.

Song Lingge had visited a few times before and had some impression of this neighbor lady.

"Auntie, I'm sorry. Do you know where this family went?"

The neighbor lady clearly recognized Song Lingge, but still said unhappily, "It's you. I recognize you. You seem to be her niece. But knocking on the door like that is not right."

"I'm so sorry. She's my aunt, my dear auntie. Do you know where she went? Or whether she's come back?"

"She's your aunt, you should know that. She runs a restaurant, when would she have time to be at home during the day? She's usually at the restaurant!"

“I just went to the store, and the staff said she’s back.”

Seeing Song Lingge's anxious attitude, the neighbor lady thought about it carefully for a moment, then shook her head again: "She definitely hasn't come back. If she came back, I would definitely hear her making noise."

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

After knocking on the door for so long, and with the neighbors' corroboration, Song Lingge already knew very well that Song Jianmei and Song Jianping definitely hadn't come here.

But where else could they go?

The only place Song Lingge could think of was Hele Manor, but why did Song Jianping want to take Song Jianmei back?

If you're looking for a place to chat outside, you might as well stay in a private room on the second floor of Song Shi Ji.

Completely baffled, Song Lingge returned to Song Shi Ji.

"Young boss, have you found the boss's wife yet?"

Upon seeing Song Lingge return, Old Zhang immediately ran over.

Song Lingge shook her head: "No one is home. The neighbors said she didn't go back, and no one answers the phone."

The more she talked, the more frustrated she became, and Song Lingge felt completely drained.

She should have been firm last time and cut ties with Song Jianping, and told Song Jianmei to stop talking to him too. Her momentary weakness has led to this situation.

"I should have gone with the boss's wife," Old Zhang said regretfully.

"Never mind, maybe we're overthinking it. But next time you see my dad coming over, you must call me immediately."

"Okay. Young boss, where are you going?" Old Zhang looked at Song Lingge's movements, as if she was about to go out again.

"You wait in the shop. If your aunt comes back, remember to call me. I'll go out and look for them."

Although she said she was looking for them, Song Lingge was actually in a complete mess and had no idea where to begin her search.

Neither Song Jianping nor Song Jianmei answered their phones.

Song Lingge drove her car, intending to go to Hele Manor first. She could run away, but she couldn't hide.

With this thought in mind, she suddenly felt panicked.

In her panic, Song Lingge remembered something someone had told her, so she dialed his phone number.

Qiao Nansheng had repeatedly advised her not to act impulsively and to call ahead if anything happened. This time, she absolutely couldn't act on her own again, otherwise she didn't know how much effort she would have to put in to appease that man afterwards.

“Nansheng, my dad went to see my aunt again. This time he even took her out with him. He searched the shop and the house. I’m planning to go to Hele Manor now.”

Where are you? I'll go with you.

Qiao Nansheng's firm tone gave Song Lingge a strong sense of confidence.

"Then I'll come pick you up now."

"Okay, see you at the main gate later."

When Song Lingge arrived, Qiao Nansheng was already waiting for her at the door.

“I’ll drive. You tell me everything that happened on the way,” Qiao Nansheng said.

Song Lingge quickly switched to the passenger seat.

Qiao Nansheng was always so meticulous and considerate, putting her affairs and safety first.

After the car was restarted, Song Lingge told him everything that had happened that day.

“Li Meimei? You’re handing her over to her? She’s a very bad person…” Qiao Nansheng had a very low opinion of her.

"It's alright, I never expected her to accomplish anything anyway. As long as she knows about it, it won't harm me whichever choice I make. If she chooses correctly, it might even indirectly help me!" Song Lingge said magnanimously.

In reality, she wasn't as open-minded as she seemed.

Song Lingge always harbored a little bit of selfishness towards Li Meimei, even though Li Meimei had betrayed her in the past.

Li Meimei's miscarriage always reminded Song Lingge of her own miscarriage.

It's strange, she doesn't have this feeling with other people.

Therefore, Song Lingge would always unconsciously want to help Li Meimei.

"But you should be prepared, they might not have gone back to Hele Manor." Qiao Nansheng didn't want to discourage her, but it was very likely that she would have made a wasted trip.

Even so, he still didn't want her to risk her life alone.

"Making the trip, whether or not you find it, is a comfort to me."

Looking out the window, Song Lingge felt a little gloomy: "Speaking of which, I have two houses in Hele Manor. But I always feel that there are too many troubles here, and I'm not compatible with this place. Once these things are settled, I'll sell them both."

"Okay, where would you like to buy it next time?"

Song Lingge stretched her hand out the window, feeling the speed of the wind. (For dramatic effect; children should not imitate this.)

"Go to a windy place."

Song Lingge had one more thing she didn't say: "Together with you."
