Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path

The big guy’s family originally intended to send him directly to the army, and he was mentally prepared to join after this summer ended.

Coming here for classes was purely unexpected.

His mother thought if other kids were going, he might as well join in the fun, especially since he’s not cut out for studying, not even able to pass the entrance exam for the junior college for children of servicemen.

To everyone’s surprise, in just one summer, the things he originally couldn’t understand, he could now comprehend, and Gu Lingling even advised him not to give up. She told him that if he enlisted, he would still have to study in the army, maybe even aim for military school.

Filled with enthusiasm, he told his mother about this plan, and his father overheard it, deciding to let him take the college entrance exam next year. It would be great if he could get into the junior college for children of servicemen.

If he can’t pass, then he’ll join the army.

Though ultimately graduating from the junior college also means returning to the army, the situation is different: one involves joining as a soldier, the other returns directly as an officer.

The two scenarios offer vastly different treatments.

Gu Lingling knew there were several others here in similar situations and developed a special review plan for them, which moved the big guy when he received it.

Years later, when they encountered Gu Lingling in the military district, these people all treated her with great respect, often recounting those past events to the younger soldiers they trained.

But that’s another story.

Meanwhile, over in the Capital City, the Su Family also started to make moves.

The most evident change was during a large gathering when Mr. Su publicly revealed Su Rumei’s identity as an adopted daughter, subtly implying that she was now an adult, and he had fulfilled his duty to her father, henceforth severing ties with the Su Family.

Everyone was perplexed, though some who came with Su Changsheng understood the situation. Among them, a general spoke up, ”Old Su, you’re a man of integrity.”

”Su Dachuan was just one of your soldiers back then, right? He entrusted his wife and daughter to you, and you genuinely raised her like your own daughter,” the old general praised with a thumbs up, ”For that, I respect you.”

”Even if Su Dachuan were still alive, he might not have given her such good conditions,” another added, ”That Su Dachuan...”

That person was about to continue when Su Changsheng shook his head at him, so he said no more; it was evident Old Su had truly done his utmost.

Everyone then realized that Su Rumei was not a biological daughter of the Su Family.

Yet all these years, Su Rumei had never mentioned it publicly and always acted as if she were the Su Family’s only daughter, reaping countless benefits.

On reflection, it seemed Su Rumei was rather shameless.

How could she be so brazenly self-assured?

Su Rumei’s face changed colors like it had fallen into a dye vat—green, then red, then white. It was clear Mr. Su intended to sever ties with her.

”Dad, you won’t abandon me, will you?” Su Rumei asked, eyes red.

”Of course not,” Su Changsheng smiled, ”As long as you don’t do anything immoral or against our principles, you’ll always be our adopted daughter.”

Adopted daughter, what rubbish!

For so many years, she had tried to act gentle and obedient in front of him, using every means to please him, being sincere and heartfelt. And he?

Dismissed her with a single term: adopted daughter.

Su Rumei wasn’t going to be so easily dismissed.
