To Defeat Scum, You Must Start Early, My Lady Chapter 196 – Wei Ziming l s Return (Third Update)

Chapter 196: Chapter 194: Wei Ziming l s Return (Third Update)

“The Song Family’s grand courtyard, Song Shan’s study.

Song Zhizhi looked at her father, then turned to Wei Ziming.

“Allowing Ziming to come back is indeed hard on him,” Song Shan said.

His tone was full of deep and profound apologies.

We Ziming respectfully replied, “Uncle, you’re too serious. I’m not young anymore and won’t always be in the team, I was bound to come back. Aunt Zeng’s kindness in raising me is something I’ll never forget. Now that I’m able to come back and be with you, it’s my honor to be able to repay Aunt Zeng in some way.”

Uncle nodded, “I consider you as my own son, and will do my best to make up for everything.”

You’re really overthinking, Uncle. I don’t need any compensation from you, everything I do is completely voluntary. You really don’t need to have any guilt.” Wei Ziming earnestly said.

Song Shan cracked a smile, recognizing that further courtesies would only seem insincere. Some things needed to be shown through actions instead.

He said, “You must be exhausted from rushing back from the team. Go rest, your room is still the one you used to have, Uncle has kept it for you.” “Thank you. I’ll go tidy up my stuff now.”

“Hmm.”

Wei Ziming, incredibly respectful, turned and left the study.

Song Zhizhi, looking at Wei Ziming’s retreating figure, turned her gaze back on her father.

Song Shan beckoned her, “Zhizhi, close the door.” Song Zhizhi closed the door.

Then, she sat across from Song Shan’s desk.

Song Shan began heavily, “Do you think I’m selfish for letting Ziming come back like this?”

“Not selfish,” Song Zhizhi answered straight away. “As long as Brother Ziming didn’t refuse, it’s not selfish. Dad, don’t carry this burden, even if you didn’t do this, I wouldn’t have relaxed about letting you be alone.”

“Yeah,” Song Shan said. “The things Nie Wenzhi whispered to me that day, which I was furious about initially, scares the hell out of me now that I think about it. I don’t even know what Nie Wenzhi’s purpose was, why she hid by my side for so many years, and why she treated me like this! She even went so far as to make Lanlan…

Saying this, Song Shan’s eyes suddenly reddened.

Filled with unspeakable hatred, he said harshly, “I was really blind. I treated Nie Wenzhi so well for so many years. The more I think about it, the more sorry I feel for your mother.”

“No one knew it was her, if she didn’t say it, we wouldn’t have known,” Song Zhizhi comforted. “The innocent ones are blameless, dad, try not to be too upset.”

“I hate her, intensely. The thought that this woman, who has been by my side for so many years, feigning cold and warmth, and whom I treated so well, harbors such a venomous heart, really infuriates me. With what happened to Nie Wenzhi now, I still can’t vent my hatred!”

“So do I, but now…” Song Zhizhi said, “We can’t fixate on Nie Wenzhi. Even though she’s really hateful, there’s no worse fate for a person, so she can be considered to have gotten her retribution. What we should be wary of now is, who exactly is behind Nie Wenzhi, who would be so cruel to our family?”

Song Shan shook his head.

At that moment, he really didn’t know.

“I’ve got the hospital’s surveillance video and heard everything that Nie Wenzhi said to you. Nie Wenzhi mentioned being trained since childhood…” Song Zhizhi bit her thin lips. “Dad, has our family ever offended anyone? Our grandfather’s generation or even earlier, have they ever committed any egregious acts?”

“No,” Song Shan was emphatic. “As far as I know, not just your grandfather, but my grandfather as well, has never had any feuds with anyone. There’s no possible reason for us to be revenged upon in such a way.”

Song Zhizhi felt somewhat disheartened.

This was the only plausible reason she could think of for why their family was being revenged upon.

If this wasn’t the reason, then what was?

Song Shan said, “Zhizhi, from now on, our family must be very cautious.”

“I know,” she nodded. “Dad, be careful too. Thankfully, Brother Ziming is back. I’m the same as dad, I don’t trust anyone but I do trust Brother Ziming.”

“Yeah,” Song Shan sighed heavily again.

Song Zhizhi looked at her father.

The white hair at his temples was now very obvious.

Her dad was really getting old.

In his twilight years, which should be a time of peaceful enjoyment, instead, things were so unsettling.

It pained her heart.

But she believed that one day, she would find the person behind the scenes, and make sure that they die miserably!

“Oh, right.” Something seemed to suddenly occur to Song Shan. “You’re getting married soon.” “In half a month,” Song Zhizhi replied.

“At this moment, I’m somewhat reluctant to give you away.” Song Shan seemed a little regretful.

Song Zhizhi bit her lip.

If the other party weren’t Ji Baijian, she wouldn’t have to rush. She could have postponed the marriage and spent more time with her father.

But…

She really, really wanted to marry Ji Baijian.

“You still have to get married when it’s time. This is your lifelong happiness.” Song Shan seemingly read his daughter’s mind. “I’ve lived to such a ripe old age, and all I want is to see you and your brother have your own happiness. Don’t worry about me, with Ziming here, I’m very safe.”

“Hmm.” Song Zhizhi nodded.

At that moment, she made an inner promise.

Even if she got married, even if she left this family, she would swear to protect the safety of her family!

“All right, you’ve been busy for so long. Take a good rest in the next few days because you need to be a beautiful bride.” Song Shan smiled gently. “Your mom, up there, can find peace too.”

Song Zhizhi smiled, but her eyes were a bit red.

In her previous life, she had not realized the importance of family. Even when she was confronted with the death of her family members, she grieved, but she had never truly treasured them when she had them, and even took everything for granted. In reality, nothing is to be taken for granted and everything takes effort. She said, “Dad, I’ll be fine.”

Song Shan was very pleased.

After some more conversation, Song Zhizhi left Song Shan’s room.

Instead of going straight back to her room, she went to Wei Ziming’s room.

This room has always been vacant. Even though Wei Ziming never came back, the Song Family had never treated him as an outsider. She knocked on the door.

The door was opened.

Ziming was organizing his room.

Probably a habit from being in the team, his room was maintained extremely clean.

Ziming looked at Song Zhizhi, his eyes showing a hint of emotion. Song Zhizhi took the initiative to speak, “Brother Ziming, may I come in?”

“Hmm” Wei Ziming let Zhizhi into the room.

They both sat on the chairs on the balcony outside his room.

The breeze was just right at this moment.

Song Zhizhi softly said, “You’re finally back”

At this moment, Wei Ziming pressed his thin lips together.

“You’ve hardly ever returned home since you left and ever since my mother died.”

Do you miss me?” Wei Ziming suddenly asked.

“Of course. I still remember when we were little and you would often play with me. I felt very happy at that time, ” Song Zhizhi answered.

That time.

Her parents were living, her brother doted on her, and her younger brother liked her. Those past moments, that original happiness, truly vanished in an instant.

“From now on, I won’t leave anymore,” Wei Ziming affirmed.

“Will you regret it?” asked Song Zhizhi. “You could have a better future in the team.”

“No. Going to the team was just to hone myself, never thought I’d stay there forever. Coming back was on the table anyway, it’s just that I came back a few years earlier than I expected, but I don’t mind.”

“Thank you.”

Every time she was being unreasonable, he’d always had no choice but to stroke her hair and agree to all her requests.

Song Zhizhi suddenly felt an intimate sense of familiarity. She said, “Brother Ziming, I never valued family ties before. In other words, I didn’t think they were something to cherish. I took them for granted because I was born into this family and thought my loved ones would always be there. But after all I’ve been through, I’m more afraid than ever of losing my family.” “Don’t worry, I’ll protect your father well.” Wei Ziming was certain.

It seemed that he knew something had happened.

“It’s not just my dad. I consider you as my real brother, I wish nothing bad would happen to you.” Song Zhizhi was dead serious.

Wei Ziming’s face seemed to freeze for a moment.

Her real brother.

His stern expression, honed by years in the team, made his facial lines exceptionally rigid, and they appeared even colder now.

Slowly, he said, “Hmm.”

Song Zhizhi didn’t pick up on any change in Wei Ziming.

She smiled, “Although mom is no longer here, thankfully, we’re all back together. My dad, my little brother, me, and you.”

We Ziming didn’t respond.

Song Zhizhi thought Wei Ziming was a man of few words.

Probably.

That was a habit from being in the team.

She didn’t mind.

She got up to leave, “Rest well, Brother Ziming.” “Zhizhi.” Wei Ziming suddenly called out to her.

“Hmm?”

“You and Ji Baijian…”

“We’re about to get married.” Song Zhizhi smiled.

Such sweet smiling face, without any hint of concealment.

It seemed like she was eager to let people know, their relationship was very good, very good indeed.

Wei Ziming barely managed to wet his lips, finally said two words, “Congrats.” “Good thing you’re back in time to attend my wedding, I’d be upset otherwise.”

“Hmm.”

“Then I won’t bother you resting anymore.”

We Ziming nodded.

Song Zhizhi left.

We Ziming just stared at Song Zhizhi’s receding figure.

Ji Baijian…Ji Baijian is not a simple guy.

He is not a simple person at all.

Song Zhizhi returned to her room and lay on the bed.

She picked up her phone, about to text Ji Baijian, then remembered that guy couldn’t even look at his phone, thinking about his hands like Doraemon… If he needs to go to the bathroom again, what then?

Hmm.

That damn guy wouldn’t ask her to help again.

That scene suddenly flashed through her mind…

She felt her face heating up.

Must stop thinking of this.

She turned over, opened the news APP on her phone, hoping to shift her focus by reading the news.

Nie Wenzhi’s news was in the headlines.

The media knew a lot, mainly about the news of the Milky Way. It reported in detail, even the purpose of Nie Wenzhi marrying her father was clearly spelled out. It could be easily guessed, it must be Yin Qin’S doing.

She didn’t mind her family affairs being exposed to the public like this, but Nie Wenzhi’s current situation, would it trigger another attack from the perpetrator behind the scene?!

After a thought, it seems not likely.

If it gets to this point for Nie Wenzhi, there’s no need for the perpetrator to take additional risks to harm her anymore.

What could be done even if the person does try?

She only keeps Nie Wenzhi around to torment her.

If she dies, so be it.

She didn’t care and put down the phone. She started to feel sleepy and soon fell into a deep sleep.

At this moment, another man was looking at the news, apparently about to crush his phone.

He couldn’t believe his eyes, couldn’t believe the scene he was seeing.

In addition to the malice toward his mother in the news, they even showed a picture of his mother lying in the hospital with severe burns.

So horrifying, so shocking.

Why?

Why did it turn out like this?

His mother seemed confident that the news this day would report Song Shan’s failed rescue attempt!

He wanted to see a bad ending for Song Zhizhi so much.

He even imagined that once Song Shan was dead, the Song family would be ruined, and the Ji family would definitely abandon Song Zhizhi. Song Zhizhi would definitely be abandoned by Ji Baijian. He was prepared to mock her from enjoying the view. He was all prepared for how to insult Song Zhizhi.

However…

Why did his mother lose?

Why did they lose again?

He gritted his teeth, trembling with fury.

A message suddenly popped up on the screen.

Yi Wenhan stared at it.

The screen read, “Don’t go see Nie Wenzhi.”

Yi Wenhan•s eyes were brimming with cruelty, his eyes bloodshot.

As he furiously deleted the message, he vowed to himself that he would kill Song Zhizhi, he would definitely kill her!

All that he is experiencing now, he would make Song Zhizhi pay!
