Sure enough, by the time the two of them arrived at the small basketball court, Jing Chu and the others had already arrived.

From afar, you could see the mocking looks in those eyes.

Just as Jing Chu was about to say something, Yu Shaofen kicked him, so he took back what he was about to say.

Shaofen is still the most reliable; it was worth making a friend in the first place.

"Sorry for the delay. Let's go eat at Xiaonanhai, shall we?"

Xiao Nan Hai is the best restaurant near the school.

Upon hearing this, Jing Chu's eyes widened: "Beautiful Song, such a generous gesture?"

"Thanks to everyone today, it's our pleasure. If there are no objections, let's go there!"

Song Lingge is quite wealthy now; she can easily afford to treat everyone to a meal.

However, she still had her own selfish motives; besides expressing her gratitude, she also wanted to shut everyone up.

After all, one is obligated to those who feed them.

Although there's nothing shameful about her family affairs, it wouldn't be good for them to be spread around.

"Sister Lingge!"

???

Who would call her that at school? Even outside of school, nobody calls her that!

Even Qiao Nansheng's two little devils never called her that.

Song Lingge got goosebumps.

It turned out to be Zhou Songmei. Seeing two girls standing on either side of Song Lingge, she squeezed in, trying to make room to link arms with Song Lingge.

Upon recognizing her, Song Lingge calmly took Zhang Xiuxiu and Yu Shaofen's hands instead, giving Zhou Songmei no chance whatsoever.

This person was never this affectionate towards her when they were at the Song family.

What's going on at school?

Whatever the reason, something unusual is bound to happen.

“You’re a few months older than me, it’s not appropriate for you to call me sister, is it?” Song Lingge didn’t hold back and directly retorted.

Zhou Songmei was taken aback, not expecting Song Lingge to be so disrespectful.

But her mood changed quickly. Pouting her cherry-like lips, she said in a wronged tone, "Well, I'm two grades below you, that's why I thought of calling you 'older sister,' don't be angry. Besides, my godfather also told us to be closer to each other at school, and I was just trying to listen to them!"

Song Jianping clearly said to take care of them more, but there's a difference between taking care of them and being close to them.

Zhou Songmei even emphasized the words "godfather" in particular, as if afraid that others wouldn't know about their relationship.

"Then you should listen to them and take good care of me, but I'm perfectly fine and don't need your help."

Song Lingge's tone and attitude revealed her estrangement from Zhou Songmei.

Zhao Jueyu had to worry about saving face, but she didn't. After the mother and daughter had a frank talk, she no longer needed to care about Zhou Songmei.

Where are you going now? I'll go with you, okay?

I've never seen such a shameless person.

Song Lingge's dislike was written all over her face, yet she still didn't know her place.

"not good!"

No reason, no explanation, just a cold, impersonal statement.

Even though Zhou Songmei was prepared, she was still stung by those words, her face immediately turned red, and she bit her lip, almost crying.

"I...I just want to get closer to you, I..."

"Jiang Yunhai!" Song Lingge didn't want to get entangled with Zhou Songmei any longer, so she greeted the familiar face with a cheerful smile.

"Song Lingge!"

Jiang Yunhai also saw them and waved to them with a smile.

"You guys go ahead, I'll run into an acquaintance and go say hello. I'll come find you later. Order whatever you like, don't be shy."

Song Lingge hurriedly gave Qiao Nansheng and the others a few instructions, then ignored the woman who had suddenly appeared and jogged towards Jiang Yunhai's location.

"Why are you here?"

"Go out to eat."

"We're going out to eat too, it's on me, why don't you come with us?"

Jiang Yunhai also helped with the photo matter; Song Lingge's invitation was genuine.

Jiang Yunhai shook his head: "Next time, I have plans with a friend, so I have to decline your offer this time."

"Alright, I won't keep you any longer."

After exchanging pleasantries, Song Lingge decided to catch up with the group of people waiting for her ahead.

"Hey, Song Lingge..." Jiang Yunhai seemed to remember something and called out to her.

Do you know that girl from earlier?

Song Lingge tilted her head. "Which girl?"

Jiang Yunhai pointed in the direction Zhou Songmei had left, and Song Lingge then remembered the leech she had just been trying to get rid of.

Zhou Songmei had made a fool of herself, so she slunk away.

"Zhou Songmei?"

"Yes, it's her. I was just watching your conversation and it reminded me of what you asked me about. Zhou Songmei also visited the association for a while."

She looked at the list Jiang Yunhai gave her many times, but she didn't see Zhou Songmei's name.

"I didn't see it on the membership list you gave me!"

Jiang Yunhai replied, "Yes, she is not a member, so she is not on that list."

"Then she is?"

"The association needed someone to handle some odd jobs, and she was introduced here to work and study."

So that's how it is. That's why Zhou Songmei could frequently visit the photography enthusiasts' association even though she wasn't a member.

"In the membership list you showed me, besides her, are there any other people who frequently visit the association but aren't recorded?"

Jiang Yunhai smiled awkwardly: "Of course not. If I hadn't happened to see you two together today, I wouldn't have thought of this."

"I'm sorry, I don't doubt you, but this matter is quite important to me, so I just want to find out the truth."

Jiang Yunhai meant well, but Song Lingge realized he had misunderstood and quickly explained.

"Yes, I understand, so I need to make it clear to avoid any misunderstandings."

They were both kind and good people. They looked at each other and smiled, exchanged a few more words, and then parted ways.

Song Lingge's thoughts suddenly exploded like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

Could the nude photos incident be related to Zhou Songmei?

Just now, in order to shake off Zhou Songmei, she accidentally caught a glimpse of Jiang Yunhai, so she deliberately went up to greet him.

Looking back now, Zhou Songmei's behavior was a bit strange. Her coming to see Song Lingge today was definitely not just a chance encounter, and she wouldn't leave immediately after suffering a little setback.

Having gone to great lengths to meet her, how could she easily give up and run away just because she greeted Jiang Yunhai?

Could it be that he's hiding from Jiang Yunhai? That makes sense.

Zhou Songmei was perhaps afraid that Jiang Yunhai would recognize her.

Based on this, it seems highly likely that the nude photo incident is related to her.

Did she release the photos? She even deliberately chose ones where the woman's face wasn't clearly visible, obviously trying to confirm the rumors about Fang Guanghua and Song Lingge. Was she already plotting to frame Song Lingge back then?

The thought was chilling, and Song Lingge couldn't help but shudder.

Also, is there any connection between Zhou Songmei and the man who secretly filmed her at the skating rink?

Who are Zhou Songmei's enemies? Fang Guanghua and Li Meimei, or Song Lingge herself?

Things have become even more complicated.
