Closing her eyes, Song Lan was quickly overcome by drowsiness. Hearing her soft, even breathing, Qin Yanzheng knew that the person in his arms had fallen asleep. He placed a kiss on her forehead and whispered, "Goodnight."
-
Zhou Zhiyuan tossed and turned all night, only managing to get a short nap as dawn broke. He then decided to take a nap after breakfast, as he had to return to the film set to continue shooting tomorrow and needed to be well-rested.
Unexpectedly, before she could even get back to her room, Xia Wei's voice came from behind her: "Are we going at noon or in the afternoon?"
Where to?
Zhou Zhiyuan stopped and turned around to ask.
"Civil Affairs Bureau".
Xia Wei responded.
Are you open today?
If he remembered correctly, the Spring Festival holiday was three days long, and today was only the second day of the Lunar New Year. Thinking of this, Zhou Zhiyuan said before Xia Wei could speak, "Let's just spend it like this."
Xia Wei didn't understand. As Zhou Zhiyuan looked away and prepared to enter the room, she asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Zhiyuan paused for a moment, but didn't turn around. He said, "Pretend I never said anything about the divorce."
"..."
Watching Zhou Zhiyuan walk into the room, Xia Wei stood there motionless for a long time.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Seeing Xia Wei staring blankly at the doorway, Xiao Zhou Nan was puzzled. Noticing the tears on Xia Wei's face, she couldn't help but worry: "Mom, you're crying. Why?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Wei hurriedly touched her eyes, then her face, only to realize that her eyes were wet and her face was covered in tears. She quickly wiped her eyes and face with her hand.
"You're mistaken, Mommy isn't crying!"
Does he mean he never mentioned divorce?
Can it be trusted?
Clearly, Xia Wei had some doubts about what Zhou Zhiyuan said, but she couldn't help feeling happy inside; otherwise, she wouldn't have unknowingly shed tears just now.
...
With the end of the Spring Festival holiday, Song Lan, Qin Yanzheng, and Qin's father returned to work.
Of course, Qin Yaxin has also returned to the film crew.
Not long after, all the children in the family who were supposed to go to school returned to school, but one person had completed his reform period before the new year and had finally returned to the capital, where he was plotting how to take revenge on Song Lan.
"Where did this beggar come from? What are you doing standing in my yard? Get out! Get out of here right now!"
When Luo Yueqin returned home from get off work at noon that day, she had just stepped into the courtyard when she saw a disheveled woman, dressed in drab and patched clothes, standing in the middle of her yard. Instantly, she was filled with rage!
"Mom...it's me, it's Jiaojiao..."
With a hoarse voice, Song Jiaojiao turned to look at Luo Yueqin.
"Who do you say you are?"
Luo Yueqin looked shocked at the woman in front of her who claimed to be her youngest daughter. After a while, she recognized that the woman was indeed Song Jiaojiao. She immediately said angrily, "You shameless thing, what are you doing back here? Do you think you've already caused enough trouble for the family and want to bring more disaster upon it?!"
"Mom, you're saying I'm a disgrace? What gives you the right to say that?"
Song Jiaojiao, that's right, the woman that Luo Yueqin initially mistook for a beggar was indeed Song Jiaojiao. At this moment, she was full of resentment and stared at Luo Yueqin, saying, "If you and Dad hadn't failed to keep an eye on me back then, causing me to be switched at birth in the hospital, would I have ended up being sent to a reformatory?"
They think I'm a disgrace, that I've brought trouble to the family. It's all because they feel I've made them lose face, and now they don't want to acknowledge me as their daughter anymore…”
"Knowing this, why did you still come back?"
Luo Yueqin spoke coldly, walking into the living room and casually tossing her bag onto the sofa. She glared at Song Jiaojiao, who followed her in, and said, "After doing so many vicious things, why didn't you die on the farm?!"
They resent us for not taking good care of you, which led to you being switched at birth in the hospital. If I had known you weren't a good person, I wouldn't have given birth to you in the first place!
When Song Weiqiang entered the house and saw Song Jiaojiao, his expression instantly turned sour. He didn't say anything, as if he hadn't seen Song Jiaojiao at all, and said to Luo Yueqin, "I'm going back to my bedroom to rest for a while."
"I'll call you when the food is ready."
Luo Yueqin replied, then turned her gaze back to Song Jiaojiao: "There's no extra room for you in this house. Didn't you and that Zhao boy used to be husband and wife, even though you secretly divorced?"
But the Zhao family lad hasn't remarried in the past few years. Go find him; he'd probably accept you, this troublemaker, and remarrying you isn't out of the question!
"You actually want me to remarry a cripple? Mom, are you even my mother? Why can't you stand to see me doing well?"
Song Jiaojiao's eyes filled with hatred: "I was born not long ago, and you left me in the hands of those peasants in the countryside. I finally managed to reunite with my family and return to this home, but you haven't treated me well at all."
If we're talking about viciousness, I think you're the most vicious one, treating your adopted daughter better than your own daughter... Wait, I almost forgot, your kindness to that bitch Song Lan was nothing more than using her!
You, my father, and my hypocritical older brother—all of you are only interested in your own gain, wanting that bitch Song Lan to divorce her man and marry her off to an idiot. With family members like you harboring such ill intentions, that bitch Song Lan won't care about you at all.
Song Jiaojiao gave a sneer, seemingly out of madness: "Every year during the Spring Festival, people come to celebrate the centenary of you and Dad, but actually they come to laugh at you, to see how miserable you are after losing your daughter who was once of use to you!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Luo Yueqin sneered in return: "Our family is living a perfectly good life, and Lanlan is a thousand times better off than you, you scourge. Don't think that your words can provoke me and make me resent Lanlan."
