Reborn into the 70: Turning Adversity into Her Dazzling Path-Chapter 677: Do Something

"What’s wrong?" Meng Songling stood up and asked in confusion upon seeing Su Rumei walk in, pale-faced, supported by her daughter. "Weren’t you two going shopping?"

How did this happen?

Taking his daughter’s hand, he helped his wife into the bedroom and poured her a glass of water, "Feeling any better?"

"I’m fine, just need to rest a bit." Su Rumei handed the glass back to him, "Don’t tell Mom and Dad."

She added, "Just give me some time to calm down."

"You’re sure you’re okay?" Meng Songling was still worried, but Su Rumei insisted he leave the room.

"What happened today?" he asked Meng Feifei after coming out.

"I don’t know either," Meng Feifei replied. "We were supposed to shop for clothes, and I didn’t even get to buy anything." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Meng Songling waved helplessly at his daughter.

This daughter of his was becoming more selfish by the day, yet he couldn’t discipline her without his wife defending her, with Meng Feifei crying and asking if he favored Meng Yufei instead.

Unaware of this, Su Rumei sat in a quiet room where even a pin drop could be heard, but her heart was anything but calm.

Why did that girl look so much like the one in the photograph, as if they were cast from the same mold, like she had stepped out of the photo?

Who exactly was this girl?

Su Rumei couldn’t help but recall her childhood. Her father had a small box that no one at home was allowed to touch. One time, driven by curiosity, she sneaked into the study to take a look when her father wasn’t home.

She ended up seeing a slightly yellowed photograph.

She didn’t know who the girl in the photo was and didn’t dare to ask, fearing her father would find out.

She wasn’t the only one curious about the contents of that box. Her third brother was curious too back then, but before he could open it, he got caught by their father and was severely punished.

Even now, Su Rumei remembered how angry the old man was that day.

This matter had always weighed on Su Rumei’s heart, and she’d thought she’d never have the chance to learn about the photograph in her lifetime.

Yet unexpectedly, she had encountered the girl from the photograph.

No, Gu Lingling couldn’t possibly be the girl in the photo; the age didn’t match.

What on earth was going on?

Su Rumei tossed and turned in bed but couldn’t figure anything out.

The only thing she was sure of was that the old man must never find out about this.

As for why?

Su Rumei sat up, hugging herself tightly.

Everyone assumed she was the most pampered daughter of the Su Family, but little did they know she was actually just an adopted daughter, taken in by Mr. Su when she was very young.

Regardless of who the girl in the photo was or what her relationship with Gu Lingling was,

Considering Mr. Su’s fondness for the photograph, if he found out someone looked exactly like the girl in it, given his temperament, he would certainly spoil Gu Lingling beyond measure.

And she and her two daughters would have to step aside.

Thinking about the grievances Meng Feifei mentioned between her and Gu Lingling, even for her daughter’s sake, she couldn’t let Mr. Su have the chance to meet Gu Lingling.

Su Rumei couldn’t sit still after this thought crossed her mind.

She had to do something.

Gu Lingling, Kyoto University, was it?

Su Rumei paced back and forth in the room, contemplating for a long time before taking out her address book from the drawer and flipping through it.
