Chapter 35: About to be Reborn?

Bai Siqi stared in disbelief.

“What did you say? You’re going back to the unit now? You’re leaving right away?”

Song Yan nodded heavily. “Yes.”

He didn’t want to leave today either, but there was no choice—Commander Qin had already given him the order, so he had to go. Otherwise, he’d really ruin himself.

Seeing that he was serious and not joking, Bai Siqi’s anger flared up instantly.

“You’re going back—what about me? What about the child? And what about my brother?”

“There’s nothing I can do about your brother for now! Commander Qin from my unit is here, and that Fu Mingxue’s mother just happened to complain to him about me. I have to go back to the unit, or I’ll be disciplined.”

Unless he didn’t want to stay in the army anymore.

Bai Siqi’s eyes widened. “You mean your superior is here? And Fu Mingxue’s mother complained to him?”

“That’s right. So I have to go, or I might get punished.”

Of course, he didn’t want to leave the army.

Bai Siqi hadn’t expected this at all.

She was so angry her eyes turned red.

Through gritted teeth, she said, “Fu Mingxue and her mother are nothing but trouble. They ruined me and my mom, and now my brother too. And now they’re coming after you.”

Song Yan’s expression was extremely grim.

He hadn’t expected Qin Wenhuo to show up here either.

And Qin Wenhuo had been called into the Fu family by Fu Mingxue—who knows what the two of them talked about? Or how much more Fu Mingxue and her mother had complained about him?

“Siqi, there’s nothing I can do about your brother right now. I have to get back to the unit. You know if I get disciplined, I’ll have no future, so I have to go. Keep an eye on things at home, and look after those three kids—”

Bai Siqi panicked.

She didn’t want Song Yan to leave.

If he left, her brother really would have no way out.

Her parents would definitely blame her for it.

And those three kids—she didn’t want to look after them at all.

But if Song Yan left and she, as their mother, didn’t even go check on them, people in town would talk about her.

Her reputation would get even worse.

“Can’t you talk to your superior? Just tell him it’s all Fu Mingxue and her mother’s fault—”

“No way. You don’t want me sent back here, do you?”

Hearing this, Bai Siqi instantly fell silent.

After all, she really didn’t want Song Yan sent back to this town.

“...Then once you’ve sorted things out over there, come back as soon as you can. You promised to help me get into university—”

Looking at her red-rimmed eyes, Song Yan’s heart softened.

“I’ll come back as soon as I can.”

Everything at home was already arranged. After saying goodbye to Bai Siqi, he’d head straight to the train station.

“Wait for me.”

With those two words, Song Yan left.

Bai Siqi felt miserable inside.

Why did things turn out this way?

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

She wandered home in a daze.

“You went to see Song Yan? What did he say?” her mother asked anxiously. “Did he say when your brother will be released?”

Bai Siqi was extremely irritated. “What could he say? He’s been reported by Fu Mingxue and her mother, and now he’s been called back to the unit—”

Hearing this, her mother felt like the sky was falling.

Her father happened to overhear as well, and immediately flew into a rage.

“What did you say? That Song guy left? Then what about my son?”

“I told you this was your fault! You just had to make Chunsheng do that—otherwise, how would he have ended up in jail?”

The more her father spoke, the angrier he got.

He already had a bad temper, and with nowhere to vent his anger, he simply slapped Bai Siqi hard across the face.

The slap was so heavy that Bai Siqi was knocked into the wall—and then she fainted on the spot."
