The beloved but ungrateful girl is reborn: This time she has truly changed.

Qi Weiwei's hand was already split open, and blood was flowing down the belt, but she didn't stop.

Ling Heping looked at her with a complicated expression.

He could tell that Qi Weiwei was not in a good state—her eyes were unfocused, only filled with a blood-red madness.

She wasn't hitting anyone; she was venting, releasing all the hatred, pain, and humiliation from her past and present lives.

If the fighting continues, people will really die.

Ling Heping stepped forward and grabbed Qi Weiwei's wrist.

Qi Weiwei suddenly turned her head, her eyes bloodshot, like an enraged wild beast.

"Weiwei, that's enough." Ling Heping's voice was soft but firm. "Your hand is badly injured."

He took a clean handkerchief out of his pocket and gently pried open Qi Weiwei's fingers that were gripping the belt.

The area between his thumb and forefinger was a bloody mess, with a deep gash that almost required stitches.

He carefully wrapped it with a handkerchief, then took the belt and tossed it aside.

Tang Aijun then noticed Ling Heping.

He was so focused on getting beaten that he didn't notice there were other people in the room.

Looking at it more closely now, my heart skipped a beat.

This man... is too good-looking.

He wasn't handsome in the refined, delicate way like Tang Aijun; he had a rugged, masculine good looks, with the uprightness and dignity unique to soldiers. Thick eyebrows, a high nose, lips pressed into a line, and eyes as sharp as an eagle's.

Moreover, he was a whole head taller than Tang Aijun, with broad shoulders and a straight back; when he stood there, he looked like a mountain.

Tang Aijun felt a strong sense of crisis instantly.

Who is this man?

Why did he speak to Qi Weiwei so gently?

Why did he call her "Weiwei"?

What right did he have to touch her hand?

Is it...

A thought flashed through Tang Aijun's mind—had Qi Weiwei found some random man?!

That's why she was so ruthless, so heartless, and hit him so hard!

Yes, that must be it!

This soldier is handsome and has a great presence; he must have captivated Qi Weiwei.

Qi Weiwei is such a brainless idiot, and a hopeless romantic. She'll definitely fall for any handsome man she sees!

Thinking of this, Tang Aijun blurted out, "Well, Qi Weiwei, you've really gotten bold! You've found some random guy?!"

His response was a second later, when Ling Heping kicked him in the stomach.

boom! ! !

Ouch, that hurts so much!

Tang Aijun felt as if all his internal organs had been shattered into pieces.

He took three steps back, sat down heavily on the ground, coughed twice, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Director Niu finally spoke: "What's your name? What did your father send you here for?"

Tang Aijun gasped for breath, clutching his stomach, unable to utter a single word.

He raised one hand and waved it weakly at Director Niu, indicating that he should take a break.

Then, he raised his head and looked at Qi Weiwei again.

This time, Qi Weiwei was also looking at him.

Tang Aijun shuddered, because he saw in Qi Weiwei's eyes that there was such anger, such disdain, such...ruthlessness.

He frowned.

He didn't understand; Qi Weiwei had cried and begged to marry him back then.

Now, all that's happened is that Tang Tiantian switched her two children, and Tang Tiantian has already learned her lesson and gone to jail. Why is she still so relentless?

He himself said that he was willing to have another child with her.

Yes, it must be that wild man next to her!

He instigated it!

Qi Weiwei is such a brainless idiot, and a hopeless romantic. She only fell for a handsome man!

Moreover, the man in the military uniform exudes an aura that makes him seem like someone not to be trifled with!

That kick of his was clearly aimed at killing him!

Tang Aijun immediately decided – a wise man doesn't suffer immediate losses; as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn!

He forced a smile—though his mouth was sore and his smile looked worse than a grimace—and said to Niu Dayong:

"This... sir, my dad just asked me to let you know he's sick and can't come. Also... he asked me to talk to Weiwei and tell her to stop making a scene. After all, we're relatives, we've lived together for so many years, we're family. If things get like this, it won't look good for anyone..."

His words sounded "reasonable," as if Qi Weiwei was the one being unreasonable.

Niu Dayong narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them:

"Don't you even know what you're here for?!"

Tang Aijun was taken aback: "I...I know, I just wanted to pass on a message for my dad. Is there anything else?"

Actually, this is all Tang Qu's fault.

After several days of having nowhere to turn, Tang Aijun, along with Tang Yaozong and Tang Yaozu, finally mustered the courage to return to his parents' home.

Zhang Qingtian couldn't resist a barrage of sarcastic remarks, calling him useless, stupid, and unable to even control a woman.

Unfortunately, new directives have been issued these past few days requiring all-night study sessions, so Tang Qu hasn't been home for several days and has only made a few phone calls.

Over the phone, Tang Qu also gave Tang Aijun a good scolding, telling him to behave himself these days and not to go out.

From then on, Zhang Qingtian spent her days radiating negativity, complaining about Tang Qu being investigated, complaining about her neighbor kicking her when she was down, and complaining about her son being a disappointment who made her the subject of gossip...

But she didn't mention a word about Tang Tiantian—she had no idea, and Tang Qu hadn't told her either.

Therefore, Tang Aijun remained completely unaware of the situation.

This afternoon, Tang Qu received a phone call in his office saying that Tang Tiantian's faked death had been discovered and that he should go to the police station for a "talk".

Tang Qu's blood pressure suddenly spiked, his vision blurred, and he almost fainted—because he thought his fake death was flawless and was quite proud of it.

Moreover, he knew that if this were confirmed, he would be truly finished.

But he was cunning and shrewd, and immediately came up with a plan—to stall.

He decided to send Tang Aijun first.

He felt that no matter how much Qi Weiwei made a scene or how much she hated him, she should still have feelings for Tang Aijun.

After all, she was determined to marry Tang Aijun, even at the cost of her life.

Women are soft-hearted; they might relent when they see their husbands.

So he handed the two confessions to his trusted henchman, carefully instructing him to find Tang Aijun, explain the situation, and have Tang Aijun take the confessions to the police station to negotiate with Qi Weiwei—if Qi Weiwei promised not to pursue Tang Tiantian's matter, he would return the confessions to her. He promised to guarantee that Tang Tiantian would never appear in Beijing again.

However, how could this underling dare to tell Tang Aijun that Tang Tiantian's faked death had been discovered?

If you tell them, doesn't that just prove that you didn't find the person before and forgot to pass on the message?

That would be... a huge disaster!

So he only gave Tang Aijun the two confessions, vaguely saying, "Your dad wants you to go to the Hongxing Hutong Police Station and talk to Qi Weiwei. If she promises not to cause trouble, return these two papers to her. As for the rest... your dad said... you can decide for yourself."
