"Meimei, what's wrong?" Li's mother asked.

Her voice trembled slightly because she had lost count of how many times Li Meimei had looked back, and she herself felt nervous as a result.

"No, it's nothing. Mom, why don't you go upstairs first? I want to go buy some drinks."

"Are you really okay on your own?" Li's mother was still a little worried.

Li Meimei tried hard to appear relaxed, and said with a smile, "What could be wrong with buying drinks? You go upstairs first, I'll be right there."

"Then I'll go up first, hurry up and come over."

Li Meimei waved to her mother and then wandered aimlessly through the streets.

She had always felt that someone was following her.

This feeling had been going on for a while, but apart from the feeling, nothing else strange had happened, and she herself thought that perhaps she was having a mental breakdown.

A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall, and this petite woman would never go to dark or dangerous places.

In broad daylight, under the clear sky, who would commit a crime in the middle of the city?

Thinking about it this way, Li Meimei felt a little more at ease.

However, she was more worried about something else.

The brown paper bag that Song Lingge gave her contained a paternity test result for Fang Guanghua and Zizai.

She had doubted the authenticity of the appraisal at first, but she couldn't resist the urge to get rid of Zhou Songmei, and confronted Fang Guanghua about it that very day.

Fang Guanghua likes Song Lingge, but he doesn't believe Song Lingge is acting out of kindness. He thinks she's just trying to use them as pawns to deal with Zhou Songmei.

Furthermore, how did she get her hands on a paternity test, and why did she get it done?

These are all questions.

However, all of this was later confirmed, and the paternity test results were true.

However, Fang Guanghua still suspected Song Lingge's motives.

He repeatedly told Li Meimei not to contact Song Lingge and to keep her distance.

Just then, Li Meimei felt guilty and kept a low profile, precisely because she didn't want to run into Song Lingge.

Actually, she and Fang Guanghua had different ideas.

Song Lingge inexplicably gave her a brown paper bag. Did she really think she was just a naive and innocent girl?

If she were truly naive and innocent, how could she possibly have snatched Fang Guanghua away?

Song Lingge wanted to use her to deal with Zhou Songmei, but wasn't she thinking the same thing herself?

She was even very grateful to Song Lingge, because if she wanted to kill someone, someone would hand her the knife.

As a result, Fang Guanghua disrupted their rhythm, causing her to let down Song Lingge and herself.

Li Meimei felt that Song Lingge had never hurt her, and now that she couldn't help her, she felt a little guilty.

She didn't know how to face Song Lingge.

But what's meant to happen will happen eventually. She was also secretly looking forward to seeing Song Lingge, because only from her could she learn many things that she couldn't hear from Fang Guanghua.

Li Meimei deeply loved Fang Guanghua, but she knew very well that Fang Guanghua only treated her that way.

She wanted to protect her marriage and absolutely could not continue to act like she did before, resorting to crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.

"Where is he?" Yu Shaofen asked.

"Weren't you watching it the whole time? What happened, it's gone?"

"I was watching the whole time, but can't you blink? In the blink of an eye, you've disappeared. And you're blaming me? You were watching too, how did you lose sight of me?" Yu Shaofen said angrily, launching into a tirade against Jing Chu.

"Grandma, I only drank a sip of water!" Jing Chu was also wronged, but he didn't dare to argue with Yu Shaofen.

"Why did you have to drink it when I blinked? What am I supposed to do now?"

"They shouldn't have gone far. Let's go look for them."

"Are you looking for me?"

Yu Shaofen and Jing Chu exchanged a knowing glance, then turned around guiltily. Who else could be standing behind them but Li Meimei?

"Li Meimei, what are you doing here?"

“My uncle lives here, and my mom and I came to visit him. What about you two? Why are you here too? Do your uncles, aunts, or other relatives live here as well?”

Li Meimei's sarcastic tone left Yu Shaofen and Jing Chu speechless.

"We were just strolling around. I saw someone ahead who looked a lot like you and was about to say hello, but then they disappeared in the blink of an eye." Yu Shaofen was determined to deny it to the death.

“If it’s not like me, then it’s me. Don’t think I don’t know you’ve been following me for a long time. I know this place very well; if I really wanted to run, you wouldn’t be able to find me. So, tell me, why are you following me?”

When she found out it was the two of them, Li Meimei breathed a sigh of relief and became much more straightforward.

Seeing that she could no longer pretend, Yu Shaofen said directly, "Since you know we're following you, you must know why we're here."

Li Meimei's eyelashes fluttered a few times as she argued, "Did Song Lingge send you?"

"Don't accuse Lingge of everything. I came here because I couldn't stand it. It's not harmful to you at all. I don't know what you were thinking, not even helping her." Now that they were getting back to the point, Yu Shaofen's tone became sharp.

"That's ridiculous. Song Lingge didn't ask for my help when she gave it to me. Now she's blaming me. What, is she so reluctant to ask for help?"

"What do you mean she's embarrassed? You really don't understand Lingge's heart. She's saving face for you, okay?"

"Give me face?" Li Meimei sneered. Before Yu Shaofen came to her, she might have felt guilty, thinking that Song Lingge really had no selfish motives.

But now that Yu Shaofen and Jing Chu are here, what's the point of pretending?

Fang Guanghua's analysis is correct; Song Lingge does have ulterior motives and wants to take advantage of her.

“Zhou Songmei is shameless. We Guanghua are also victims. Why should we ask Song Lingge to give us any face? She should mind her own business and think about how she will take care of her younger siblings in the future.”

"You—" Yu Shaofen was so angry that she wanted to rush up and tear open Li Meimei's chest to see if her heart was truly red.

Jing Chu quickly grabbed her arm: "Forget it, there's no point in arguing with someone like her."

"Me? What kind of person am I? I despise people like you the most. When you need something from me, you pretend to be doing me a favor, but once you're no longer useful, you reveal your true colors. You look down on me from the bottom of your hearts, so why do you expect me to help you?"

"Then you should do something that makes people respect you. Have you forgotten what you did to Lingge?" Yu Shaofen was furious.

She came for nothing today. She had hoped that Li Meimei would realize her mistake, but it seems she overestimated Li Meimei.

“Yu Shaofen, that’s between me and Song Lingge. What does it have to do with you? Song Lingge doesn’t dare to come to me herself. Why did she send a nobody like you?” Li Meimei said, pointing at Jing Chu. “And you, I didn’t realize Song Lingge was so good at winning people’s hearts. She even has a lackey like you.”

Jing Chu's lips twitched twice, but in the end, she didn't retort.

Yu Shaofen was furious, jumping up and down: "You're being completely unreasonable! Lingge is our good friend, so we're willing to help her. You're the one who should be thinking about why you never have a single friend by your side when you encounter trouble!"
