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

Song Yan’s expression instantly darkened.

Just then, Fu Mingxue stepped forward.

She lifted her chin slightly. ”Song Yan, I’m the one this happened to. I think I’d know whether I was pushed or not. You’re just an outsider who got here late. What gives you the right to say no one pushed me into the river?”

”Song Yan, don’t forget who you are. And don’t bring shame to the uniform you’re wearing.”

Song Yan shot Fu Mingxue an incredibly sharp glare.

Fu Mingxue met his gaze without a shred of fear.

Song Yan suppressed the roiling emotions in his eyes.

’He had really underestimated this mother-daughter pair.’

”Mom, Siqi, let’s go!”

Mrs. Bai’s expression faltered. ”But—”

Bai Siqi quickly stopped her. ”Mom, let’s go home first.”

’It was their own fault for not getting the story straight beforehand. Now Fu Mingxue had them trapped.’

Since her daughter had spoken, Mrs. Bai had no choice but to leave, her face dark with anger.

Mrs. Fu watched them leave and spat on the ground.

Then she closed the main gate.

”Dinner, dinner—”

──

The moment the three of them returned to the Bai Family’s home, Mrs. Bai exploded.

”Are we just going to let them swindle us like that?”

Her reputation meant everything to her, yet that mother-daughter pair had just torn it to shreds.

On top of that, they took eight hundred from us.

That was eight hundred! Now that mother and daughter will be living it up, won’t they?

That was enough to cover all of Fu Mingxue’s university tuition, with plenty left over, all paid for by the Bai Family.

She just couldn’t stomach it.

”Mom, don’t worry. I won’t let them get away with this,” Bai Siqi said through gritted teeth.

’She would never let this go.’

’Why should that bitch Fu Mingxue get to go to university?’

’She was supposed to stay with the Song Family and take care of my three kids for me.’

”Song Yan, you have to figure something out. If they really trace this back to my brother, my mom will kill herself, and so will I.”

Her daughter’s words finally made Mrs. Bai realize the danger, and she grew frightened. ”Song Yan, nothing can happen to Chunsheng.”

”Mom, don’t worry. Chunsheng wasn’t the one who pushed her; he paid someone else to do it. Even if they investigate, they won’t be able to pin anything on Chunsheng. I’ll make sure that person keeps his mouth shut.”

Song Yan’s words made the mother and daughter breathe a sigh of relief.

”That’s good. You should hurry back and take care of it. Oh, right, and about Fu Mingxue—since she doesn’t want to marry you, there are other ways. As long as you take her virginity, she’ll have to marry you whether she likes it or not.”

Song Yan’s lips thinned into a tight line, his expression dimming.

’Does she really have to push me onto another woman?’

”You could come live with me at the military base—”

Bai Siqi’s tone was vehement. ”No! I’m going to university.”

’Even if I didn’t go to university, I still wouldn’t go live at the base.’

’Song Yan’s mother is paralyzed and bedridden. I could ignore her, but could I really leave the kids with the Song Family?’

’And if I can’t leave them there, doesn’t that mean I’d have to bring them with me?’

’The mere thought of taking care of three children by myself is enough to make me break down.’

’And I’d have to wash all three of their clothes, day in and day out... What kind of easy life would that be?’

Song Yan’s expression soured.

Bai Siqi didn’t want to make the situation too tense. ”What I mean is, I’ll keep trying for the entrance exams and go to university next year. If I can’t pass next year, then I’ll go live with you at the base.”

”I can’t take care of the kids, and I can’t take care of your mom. You might as well just marry Fu Mingxue. Besides, I trust you not to touch her. Song Yan, I love you. Please, just listen to me this one time, can’t you?”

When she put on this coquettish act, Song Yan was truly helpless against her.

Because he was a complete sucker for it.

In those days, it was incredibly rare for anyone to be so direct about expressing their love.

And that was exactly how Bai Siqi had won him over.
