Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

"Yueyue, Lin Xingcheng doesn't like you. You won't be happy if you marry him. Listen to your uncle's advice, get an abortion, and focus on your studies."

Song Shengze didn't reveal what else Zhou Shuyue had done, after all, she was his niece whom he had doted on since childhood. He was still soft-hearted and couldn't bear to expose her.

"No, I only want to marry him."

"Marriage is fine, but not now. Look at his good grades; if you marry him now, you'll ruin his future. He definitely won't be happy, and I wouldn't be either."

Song Shengze offered kind words of advice, hoping to dissuade her from her idea, which would ultimately lead to a happy ending for everyone.

"Uncle, you don't understand. I'm not married to him now, and it's even less likely I will in the future."

Zhou Shuyue had a strong premonition that if this didn't work out, she and Lin Xingcheng would have no future.

"Why are you so stubborn and won't listen to advice?"

My niece is determined to marry him now, but who knows, she might meet another man in the future and fall in love with someone else.

As long as you get through it, it'll be fine. There aren't that many cases of love at first sight, where you'd marry no one but him or her.

"Yueyue, listen to your uncle. Abort the child, it's not too late to get married after graduating from university." Zhou Xiuguang was very angry, but he suppressed his anger and continued to persuade her.

"Yueyue, Lin Xingcheng is ungrateful. We won't marry him. There are plenty of good men out there. Your older brother will introduce you to better ones in the future."

"I don't want it, I want Lin Xingcheng."

Seeing his sister seemingly bewitched, Zhou Shujiang fell silent. It seemed he wouldn't be able to pick up his wife from the airport today; he'd better think about how to appease her tonight.

"Little sister, why don't I just kidnap Lin Xingcheng and bring him home to marry you?"

"Shuhe, don't cause trouble. Kidnapping is illegal."

"Mom, what do you suggest we do?"

"Big brother, let's force the principal to expel Lin Xingcheng and make him marry Yueyue. Then we'll find him a job."

Zhou Shuyue didn't care about anything else anymore; all she could think about was marrying Lin Xingcheng. She didn't care if Lin Xingcheng hated her or her family.

At worst, after marriage, I can treat Lin Xingcheng even better and slowly win his heart.

"I can't help you. The Song family did something so unscrupulous more than 20 years ago. Even now, people still make fun of the Song family when they talk about them."

Zhou Xiuguang was ashamed to talk about it. Back then, he couldn't resist and Song Wanying seduced him into making a mistake, which led to his wife's death.

"Brother, why are you bringing up something from so long ago? Let's talk about Yueyue now. You've watched her grow up, can you bear to see her like this?"

"Have you considered what will happen if Lin Xingcheng still refuses to marry you after we pressure him like this?"

If Lin Xingcheng were so easily persuaded, they wouldn't have bothered to bring him here.

"Then sue him for rape and have the police arrest him. I refuse to believe he still won't marry me after that," Zhou Shuyue said fiercely and hysterically.

"Yueyue, you don't think that the Song family can call the shots in Pengcheng. The police arrest people based on evidence, not just what you say."

"Uncle, you must have a way, right? We're just scare Lin Xingcheng, we're not really going to arrest him."

Song Shengze sighed before saying, "My solution is to abort the child and pretend this never happened."

Yueyue, you're too hasty. Haste makes waste. You need to stay calm and think things through; impulsiveness can easily lead to disaster. Okay, I have something else to do. Think about this carefully.

Song Shengze stood up to leave, but Zhou Shuyue stopped him and held his hand.

"Uncle, I beg you, please help me," Zhou Shuyue said, tears streaming down her face.

"Big brother..."

"Shut up, look at the good daughter you raised. Just like you, she's willing to die for a man."

Song Shengze pried Zhou Shuyue's hand away and left. As he reached the door, Song Wanying's exclamation came from inside.

"Yueyue"

"Quickly, Shu Jiang and Shu He, grab her and press on her wound," Zhou Xiuguang said.

Zhou Xiuguang snatched the fruit knife from Zhou Shuyue's hand, and Zhou Shujiang took off his clothes and used them to cover her wound.

Song Shengze, still worried, returned and saw the bloodstains on the ground. Zhou Shuyue stood calmly; her gamble had paid off—her uncle had indeed returned.

"What are you all standing there for? Go get some gauze to bandage her up, and take Yueyue to the hospital right away."

Half an hour later, Zhou Shuyue's hand had stopped bleeding, and she lay pale on the hospital bed.

"Yueyue, you scared your mother to death! How could you cut your wrists? This is going to kill me! If something happens to you, how can your mother go on living?"

Zhou Shuyue wouldn't speak or respond to anyone. If you tried to talk to her, she would just look at you and cry. Seeing her daughter like this broke Song Wanying's heart.

"Big Brother"

She refused to believe that if her daughter was like this, her older brother would refuse to help.

"You and Xiuguang come out. I have something to say to you. Shujiang and Shuhe, take good care of Yueyue."

Hearing this, Zhou Shuyue breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her uncle was willing to help, Lin Xingcheng would definitely marry her. She was tired and fell asleep peacefully.

Afraid of being overheard by his niece, Song Shengze led them to a secluded spot near the hospital entrance before speaking.

"Song Wanying, tell me honestly, has Yueyue ever told you who the father of the child in her belly is?"

"It belongs to Lin Xingcheng, is there even a need to say more?"

Her daughter likes Lin Xingcheng so much, it's impossible for her to have a child with someone else.

"It seems there's something you don't know yet. The child in her belly isn't Lin Xingcheng's at all; it's Chen Shaoping's."

"What? Impossible? Brother, is it Lin Xingcheng who told you this? When I went to see him last time, he was talking nonsense like this too."

He absolutely denies that the child in Yueyue's belly is his; don't believe him.

"Yes! Big brother, Lin Xingcheng definitely didn't want to take responsibility, that's why he lied. Yueyue is like this now, Lin Xingcheng has to marry her quickly, I'm really afraid she'll try to cut her wrists again next time."

Zhou Xiuguang couldn't wait to marry her off, to save her from the embarrassment of staying at home. He only started spoiling his daughter because he saw how much Song Shengze and Song Shengzhi doted on her and how well she did in school.

In fact, in his heart, even his eldest son, who grew up in the countryside, was more important than Zhou Shuyue.

"I've investigated, and the child is indeed not Lin Xingcheng's."

Song Shengze noticed the shocked expressions on his sister's and Zhou Xiuguang's faces; they didn't seem to be faking it.

"Moreover, Lin Xingcheng brought Wu Mingli to me yesterday, and he almost pointed his finger at me and said that the Song family's niece was shameless and kept pestering him."

Do you know how embarrassing I was yesterday? I really wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground. I've never been so humiliated in my life.

"This...how is this possible?"

Song Wanying couldn't believe her daughter had even lied to her, and was even more shocked by her daughter's madness. Compared to herself back then, she was even more outrageous.

"Lin Xingcheng also said that even if Yueyue succeeds in her scheme, the child is his, and he would rather die than marry her."

"You two should find some time to have a good talk with Yueyue and make her give up on the idea. Lin Xingcheng will never marry her, and I don't have the ability to make him agree."

Song Shengze then told them about the Lin and Xia families, adding that Wu Mingli was clearly trying to protect Lin Xingcheng.

"So, if Zhou Shuyue insists on marrying Lin Xingcheng, then she'll be dragging the Song and Zhou families down with her."

In order to dissuade them from their thoughts, Song Shengze always spoke to Song Wanying and Zhou Xiuguang in a serious manner.

I was horrified to see my niece cut her wrists today because of this. I never imagined she would do something so extreme for a man; she's completely different from before.

"Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely make Yueyue give up this idea."

After hearing these words, Zhou Xiuguang wished he had never given birth to this daughter, calling her a disgrace.

"Big brother, I'm afraid Yueyue won't give up. What if she threatens to kill herself again?"

"Then the Song and Zhou families will help her collect her body and give her a grand funeral. If she can pull herself together and slowly make her own plans, I'll think more highly of her."

After Song Shengze finished speaking, he left, leaving Song Wanying and Zhou Xiuguang looking at each other.
