Chapter 36: She Was Reborn Too Late

“Siqi—!” Mother Bai screamed as she rushed over, only to see her daughter’s head covered in blood. The sight gave her a huge fright. “Siqi—!”

Father Bai grumbled in annoyance, “What are you shrieking for? She just bumped her head, she’s not going to die—”

He didn’t even spare a glance for his unconscious daughter and simply walked out the door.

If he couldn’t rely on anyone else, he’d just have to figure things out himself.

After all, he only had one son. He wasn’t about to just stand by and watch his son’s life get ruined.

Mother Bai stared in disbelief at the man slamming the door as he left.

She was furious.

Her daughter’s life was hanging in the balance, and yet that man didn’t care at all.

“Siqi, wake up—”

She shook her a few times.

Just as she was about to go out and call for help—

Bai Siqi slowly regained consciousness.

When she opened her eyes and saw her mother, still young, she looked utterly shocked. “—Mom?”

Mother Bai hadn’t expected her daughter to wake up so suddenly, and she let out a sigh of relief.

“Oh, thank goodness you’re awake. How do you feel? Are you hurting anywhere?”

“Mom, how are you still alive?”

Hearing this, Mother Bai was startled. “Did you hit your head too hard? Oh heavens, what am I going to do!”

Her daughter had always been her pride and joy—she’d been counting on her to live a good life.

If her daughter had turned stupid, what would she do?

Gritting her teeth, she prepared to pull her up. “Come on, we need to get to the hospital—”

Bai Siqi’s head was still bleeding from the wound, and the pain only worsened when her mother tugged at her.

But the pain also helped clear her mind.

“Mom, don’t pull me, it hurts. Let me rest for a bit—”

Mother Bai quickly let go.

“How are you feeling?”

“Mom, I’m okay. Just help me sit up for a bit.”

Hearing her daughter speak so normally, Mother Bai finally relaxed. “As long as you’re alright!”

Bai Siqi was busy sorting through her memories—

After a long while, she finally understood her situation—she had been reborn, back to her younger self.

But the timing was all wrong.

Her college acceptance letter had already been snatched away by Fu Mingxue.

Could that wretched Fu Mingxue have been reborn too?

But the more she thought about it, the less likely it seemed—how could something so lucky happen to someone like Fu Mingxue?

Still, in her previous life, Fu Mingxue had been desperate to marry Song Yan.

So why wasn’t she marrying him in this life?

If fate had given her a second chance, why hadn’t she been reborn a little earlier?

And now, without her college acceptance letter, how was she supposed to go to university?

No, she had to find Song Yan.

“Mom, I have something really important to discuss with Song Yan. Can you give me some money?”

Mother Bai’s eyes widened. “Didn’t Song Yan just leave? Why do you need to see him?”

Bai Siqi’s eyes flickered.

“I’ve thought of a way to save my brother. I need to talk to Song Yan.”

The moment she heard it was about saving her son, Mother Bai’s eyes lit up. “How much do you need?”

“Give me a hundred. No, better make it two hundred.”

Mother Bai’s heart ached at the thought of giving her two hundred.

She only had a little over two hundred in total.

“We only have a hundred at home.”

Bai Siqi’s memories were still a bit muddled.

She wasn’t sure exactly how much money her mother had.

Hearing there was only a hundred, she reluctantly accepted it. “Alright, give me the hundred. I need to go to the neighborhood office to get an introduction letter.”

Mother Bai had no choice but to fetch the money. Even as she handed over the hundred, her heart ached.

By now, Bai Siqi’s head was feeling much better. She’d checked the wound—it wasn’t too big, and the bleeding had stopped.

She tidied herself up, took the money, and said, “Mom, I’m heading out now.”

She left for the neighborhood office. Just as she was about to ask for an introduction letter, she overheard the staff talking about Fu Mingxue getting a marriage certificate.

She was utterly shocked. “Who did you say is getting a marriage certificate?”"
