In this life, nothing unfortunate has happened yet. Well, with her around, it's impossible for Song Jiaojiao to have a chance to do something, but that doesn't mean Song Jiaojiao is innocent.

As the saying goes, it is only right to pay back debts!

Song Jiaojiao owed the original owner's family several lives. In this life, even though she hasn't yet stained her hands with blood, she doesn't deserve forgiveness!

I agree with you.

Song Qinghui chimed in, then asked, "Little sister, have you really severed ties with your adoptive parents?"

"...I told them I was severing ties, and I've started calling them 'uncle' and 'aunt' instead of 'aunt,' but..."

Song Lan remained silent for a moment before continuing, "However, they did raise me after all, and spent a lot of money and energy on me. Even if they... even if they had the intention of using me to climb the social ladder, I ultimately benefited from their upbringing."

When they get old, I will take on my share of responsibility and pay their living expenses on time.

"Little sister, you're being far too kind!"

Song Qinghui said, "They only want to take advantage of you, but you still want to fulfill your filial duties. I don't think it's necessary."

"Second brother, it's not that I'm kind, it's that I don't want to get entangled with them. Think about it, given my adoptive parents' character, if I really cut off all ties with them, do you think they would let it go easily?"

All I have to do is pay some alimony, and I can clearly sever ties with them, leaving no room for gossip and depriving them of a means to harass me. Isn't this a clever, albeit open, strategy, to deal with them?

In short, I think it's worth it!
