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

Chapter 5: Chapter 5: The Matchmaker Pays a Visit

"Let’s go back to your place and talk." Song Yan’s expression was grim.

Hearing this, Bai Siqi could only suppress her overwhelming panic.

Once they arrived at Bai Siqi’s place, she demanded anxiously, "Weren’t you supposed to be saving Fu Mingxue? What happened?"

She had been so close to getting Fu Mingxue’s college acceptance letter.

She never expected Fu Mingxue to come back and snatch the letter right out of her hands.

The thought made her so angry she could have spat blood.

Song Yan’s face darkened. "She swam ashore on her own—"

Bai Siqi shrieked, losing control. "Impossible! She can’t even swim! How could she have gotten to shore on her own?"

Song Yan immediately gripped her by the shoulders. "Calm down—"

With tears welling in her eyes, Bai Siqi broke down, shouting, "How can I calm down? Without that acceptance letter, I can’t go to college!"

She had taken the college entrance exam, it was true.

But she hadn’t expected it to be so difficult. Based on her performance, she doubted she could even get into a vocational college.

That was why she had set her sights on Fu Mingxue’s acceptance letter long ago.

To think that after all that scheming, it would all fall apart at the last minute!

Seeing her like this broke Song Yan’s heart. He immediately pulled her into a hug. "Siqi, don’t be upset. I’ll make her give you the acceptance letter!"

Bai Siqi looked up, her eyes swimming with tears. "Really?"

Song Yan nodded, promising solemnly, "Of course. I’ll make her hand over that acceptance letter to you willingly!"

Fu Mingxue sneezed as she came out drying her hair, fresh from a hot shower.

This made Mrs. Fu terribly worried.

"Mingxue, quick, drink this ginger tea I made for you."

Fu Mingxue wasn’t the least bit surprised that her mother hadn’t called the police.

She took the bowl of ginger tea and drank it all in one go.

It had to be said, her body felt much warmer after she drank it.

"Mingxue, tell me exactly what happened!"

Fu Mingxue briefly recounted how she’d been kicked into the water, how Song Yan had come to "rescue" her, and how she’d managed to save herself and grab her acceptance letter back in the process.

Mrs. Fu was furious. She said through gritted teeth, "That Bai Siqi, she’s truly vicious."

"But we can’t call the police. If she denies it, the whole thing will blow up and affect your college admission."

"But we can’t just let her get away with it. I’m going to go find her right now."

Fu Mingxue immediately said, "I’ll go with you—"

Mrs. Fu wouldn’t hear of it. "You’re staying home. I can handle this by myself." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

The mother and daughter exchanged a look. "Don’t come out," Mrs. Fu said. "I’ll go see who it is."

Fu Mingxue watched her mother, her eyes filled with tenderness.

’In my past life, my mother lived all by herself after I got married. Even though I lived nearby, I was never able to take proper care of her.’

’A paralyzed mother-in-law and three energetic children at home were enough to keep me running around in circles, with never a moment to spare.’

’In this life, I swear I’ll make sure my mother can truly live a life of peace and comfort.’

Meanwhile, Mrs. Fu opened the front door and was surprised to see a matchmaker standing there.

Before she could speak, the matchmaker broke into a wide grin. "Congratulations, my dear lady! I’m here on behalf of Song Yan to ask for your daughter Mingxue’s hand in marriage."

Mrs. Fu had actually had a decent impression of Song Yan. After all, he was handsome, young, and promising.

Even so, she would never allow her daughter to marry into the Song Family. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

After all, the Song Family was nothing but a burden.

Three small children and a paralyzed mother.

What was that if not a pit of fire?

Her face fell instantly. "My daughter isn’t considering marriage right now. She’s going to college."
