Reborn in the 80s and Remarrying an Officer, Let the Ungrateful Cry!

Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Turning the Tables

Fu Mingxue heard the footsteps behind her drawing closer and closer. Growing more frantic, she yelled even louder, "Bai Siqi is stealing my university acceptance letter!"

Fortunately, she finally managed to run into the alleyway, flanked on both sides by neighbors’ homes.

And then, she saw her mother.

"Mom, help me! Bai Siqi is trying to steal my university acceptance letter—"

The moment Mrs. Fu heard this, she flew into a rage. Snatching up a nearby broom, she charged over. "Where is that little bitch surnamed Bai?"

Just as Song Yan’s hand was about to reach her, Fu Mingxue darted behind her mother.

"Mom, Song Yan is helping Bai Siqi steal my university acceptance letter!"

Mrs. Fu had already stopped. Hearing her daughter’s words, she glared at Song Yan, her face filled with fury. "Song Yan, what is the meaning of this?"

A flash of anger crossed Song Yan’s eyes.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his roiling anger. "Mrs. Fu, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t do anything. Mingxue fell in the water just now, and I was rescuing her—"

Mrs. Fu’s eyes widened. She saw that Song Yan was soaking wet, then turned to look at her own daughter, who was also drenched from head to toe.

"Mingxue, you fell in the water?"

"Mom, I did fall in the water, but he wasn’t the one who saved me. He’s just trying to pull the wool over your eyes! He and Bai Siqi are plotting to take my university acceptance letter."

Fu Mingxue waved the letter in her hand. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Then she shot Song Yan a contemptuous look. "Song Yan, and you call yourself a soldier! How could you be so vile? I’ll let the matter of falling in the water slide. It’s a good thing I know how to swim, otherwise your little scheme would have actually succeeded."

Mrs. Fu was stunned. "Mingxue, when did you learn to swim?"

Fu Mingxue: ...?

’Oh, for heaven’s sake, Mom,’ she thought. ’Is this really the time to be focusing on that?’

’Can’t you get your priorities straight?’

"Mom, go report this to the police for me. I’m freezing right now, I need to go home and change. Oh, and someone pushed me into the water. Then, Bai Siqi impersonated me to intercept my acceptance letter from the mailman. You have to tell the police about all this."

With that, Fu Mingxue immediately ran for home.

She couldn’t help it; it was just too cold out.

She was reborn to take good care of her body this time around, and she couldn’t afford to let it break down again.

Song Yan’s expression was grim.

"Mrs. Fu, Mingxue has truly misunderstood. She fell in the water, and I saved her. Many people were there and saw it happen. Besides, Siqi was just helping Mingxue get her mail; she absolutely was not stealing the acceptance letter like she said. Siqi took the college entrance exam herself. Even if she didn’t pass, she can just take it again next year."

"I don’t know why Mingxue is targeting Siqi, but the truth really isn’t what she’s saying! If you insist on calling the police, then go ahead!"

As he spoke, Song Yan even stepped aside to clear the way.

Mrs. Fu’s expression was not pleasant. "My Mingxue has always been a well-behaved girl. She wouldn’t just spout nonsense! Besides, what reason would my Mingxue have to target Bai Siqi?"

"Bai Siqi knows perfectly well that my Mingxue doesn’t associate with her. What right did she have to intercept my Mingxue’s university acceptance letter from the mailman?"

"Mrs. Fu, Siqi just had good intentions—"

"Ha! Does our family look like we need her ’good intentions’? Song Yan, that’s your ex-wife. I don’t care what’s going on between you two, but don’t you dare drag my Mingxue into your schemes. Even if Mingxue doesn’t pursue this, I won’t let it go."

Without another glance at Song Yan’s face, Mrs. Fu turned and headed home.

Her daughter was home alone; she was genuinely afraid that this Song Yan would barge into their house after she left. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Left standing there, Song Yan’s expression was incredibly grim.

After a few seconds, he turned and walked away.

At the corner of the alley’s entrance, an anxious-looking Bai Siqi saw Song Yan and hurriedly asked, "Song Yan, how did it go?"
