Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

Chapter 43: Chapter 43: Believe It or Not, I’ll Fight You to the Death

"What else could she be trying to do?! She stole my sister’s report card to claim her scores as her own and use them to get into university! That Qin Xueling is rotten to the core!"

Shen Xiangnan, returning from reporting the incident, happened to hear this. He immediately chimed in, determined to get justice for his sister.

"Wait, you can steal someone else’s scores? How could you even do that?"

"What in the world is going on? I’m so confused! According to what Nian is saying, all those rumors we heard about her were spread by Xueling? They’re girls from the same village, and they were supposed to be such good friends. How could she be so malicious?"

"Doesn’t the saying go, ’You can know a person’s face, but not their heart’? You’ve all been fooled by the act Qin Xueling usually puts on!"

The person Lu Xinyue had brought along chimed in again at the perfect moment.

"No, you’ve all been fooled by Shen Nian! I didn’t do it! I didn’t do any of those things! It was Shen Nian! She was the one being indecent, and I found out! Now she’s trying to frame me! She wants to drag my name through the mud! Don’t believe her!"

Seeing that many people were starting to believe Shen Nian and were even giving her suspicious looks, Qin Xueling began to panic. Without a second thought, she started shouting at Shen Nian, desperately trying to turn the situation around.

"What’s going on here? All of you, what are you doing crowding around my house?! What do you want?"

Just as the two sides were locked in a standoff, a shrill voice cut through the air. A middle-aged woman with a vicious expression pushed her way through the crowd.

The moment Qin Xueling saw the newcomer, it was as if she had found her backbone.

"Mom, you’re here! Quick, Shen Nian is trying to frame me! They’re all trying to frame me!"

"Who dares to harm my daughter?! Shen Nian, after my daughter has been so good to you, this is how you repay her, huh?"

Shen Nian watched Mrs. Qin shield Qin Xueling like a mother hen and couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. ’In the past, because of Qin Xueling, I was always very respectful to Mrs. Qin.’

’But in reality, Mrs. Qin was no better than her daughter! In my past life, on top of being bullied by Yin Yang and Qin Xueling, I also suffered plenty at the hands of Mrs. Qin.’

’And to think, back then, my family helped them so much, seeing as they were just a widow and her fatherless daughter!’

"Your daughter knows full well what she’s done! Why don’t you ask her what shameless things she’s been up to!"

Thinking about what Mrs. Qin had done to her in her past life, Shen Nian couldn’t bring herself to be pleasant to the woman now.

"You—you little hussy! How dare you speak to me like that! I’ll beat you to death!"

Now that all pretenses were dropped, Mrs. Qin’s expression was no longer the kind and pleasant one she used to feign.

"You dare touch my daughter? I’ll fight you to the death!"

Mrs. Qin’s voice had barely faded when another rose up from a different direction. Soon, Shen Nian saw Miao Cuifen hurrying anxiously toward them.

"Mom, what are you doing here?"

This time, it was Shen Nian’s turn to be surprised. ’Has this whole thing gotten too big? How did my mother, Shen Cuifen, get dragged into this?’

"Xiao Nian, don’t be scared. Mom’s here. I won’t let anyone bully you! Your younger brother told us everything. Your dad and your older brother are coming over, too. It’s okay, don’t be afraid!"

"Okay. I’m not afraid."

Shen Nian smiled and nodded at Miao Cuifen. ’It feels so good to have family protecting me! No matter how chaotic things get, I won’t be afraid!’
