Free Web NovelChapter 2: Chapter 2: Stop, That’s My Letter
Song Yan hadn’t expected Fu Mingxue to just run away. Her look just now, as if she were dodging a piece of trash, had pierced him deeply.
’Besides, doesn’t Fu Mingxue know how to swim? How is she such a good swimmer now?’
The more Fu Mingxue ran, the clearer her head became.
The iconic late-1970s shops lining the street, in particular, made the reality of her rebirth sink in.
She truly never imagined she would be reborn, let alone back at the very beginning of all her misfortunes.
In her past life, on this very day, she had been accidentally knocked into the water. Since she couldn’t swim, she was rescued by Song Yan, who happened to be passing by.
In those conservative times, being held and embraced by Song Yan in front of everyone was tantamount to ruining her reputation.
This left her with no choice but to marry him.
Of course, her gratitude was also a factor; after all, Song Yan had saved her life.
Moreover, Song Yan came from a good family and was handsome. He was young yet already a deputy regimental commander, with a boundless future ahead of him.
There was just one drawback—Song Yan had one-year-old triplets at home.
And a month prior, his wife had divorced him.
Even so, plenty of women were still eager to be his matchmaker.
Because of the children at home who needed looking after, she and Song Yan married very quickly.
But Song Yan was recalled to his unit on their wedding night.
She, however, remained with the Song Family to look after the three one-year-old children, as well as her paralyzed, bedridden mother-in-law.
She poured her heart and soul into raising those three children, pushing them to succeed until they all tested into prestigious universities.
Furthermore, after they married and had their own children, she even went to their homes to care for her grandchildren.
But who would have thought that after her youngest stepdaughter’s child started kindergarten, she would fall gravely ill from years of accumulated exhaustion.
She had assumed the three children would pay for her medical treatment, since none of them were lacking for money.
But she never expected them to kick her out of the house, proclaiming that she wasn’t their biological mother.
What enraged her most of all was that the scumbag Song Yan had actually remarried his ex-wife, Bai Siqi.
Furious, she went to cause a scene, only to have the family inform her that she and Song Yan weren’t even technically a married couple—they had never gotten a marriage certificate.
Overcome with rage, riddled with illness, and with no money or place to go, she ultimately died under a bridge.
But the heavens had eyes; she had been reborn at the very start of the whole catastrophe.

’In this life, I’m going to university myself.’
’That’s right, university—my acceptance letter should be arriving today.’
In her last life, she had fallen into the water and been rescued by Song Yan, but she had swallowed a lot of water and remained unconscious.
As a result, she never received her university acceptance letter.
She had assumed she didn’t get in. It wasn’t until many years later that she accidentally overheard someone call Bai Siqi by the name Fu Mingxue.
But when she tried to inquire further, Song Yan, his expression changing drastically, had pulled her away.
And that was the end of that.
’Could it be... that Bai Siqi took my university acceptance letter and went to college in my place?’
At this thought, Fu Mingxue’s face fell.
’That has to be it.’
’Bai Siqi’s grades weren’t even as good as mine. How could she have gotten in when I hadn’t?’
’And as for falling in the water today, I’m absolutely sure someone knocked into me.’
’And Song Yan just so conveniently showed up to rescue me? Was all of this truly a coincidence?’
At this thought, she picked up her pace—
By the time she ran, panting, to the entrance of the alley, she suddenly saw Bai Siqi talking to a mailman, who then handed Bai Siqi a letter.
Fu Mingxue’s heart plummeted. She immediately sprinted forward with all her might.
Then she snatched the letter right out of Bai Siqi’s hand.
Caught off guard, Bai Siqi watched as the letter was stolen from her grasp. She instinctively tried to get it back. "What are you doing? Give that back to me—"
