    Song Zhizhi took a taxi back to the Song residence.


    The atmosphere in the house was a little tense.


    Considering that she had been out all night without a word, she naturally met with faces of disapproval.


    But she pretended as if nothing had happened. She walked briskly into the living room. Qin Ciling was sitting on the sofa. Her father was there too as it was the weekend. Nie Wenzhi was also present, as well as, surprisingly, Nie Xiaofei.


    Song Zhizhi took a peek at Nie Xiaofei. She was not looking very good.


    Song Zhizhi could totally imagine Nie Xiaofei’s trauma upon waking up. It should be just as bad, if not worse, than her own in her previous life.


    “Where did you gost night? Why weren’t you answering your phone?!” Qin Ciling spoke sternly, “You’ve already caused such a big trouble, can’t you behave for a bit?”


    “Grandma, my phone ran out of battery,” Song Zhizhi gently exined. She sat intimately next to Qin Ciling and added, “Last night, I got drunk when I was having dinner with Xiaofei. I don’t know what happened, but I ended up leaving with Ji Baijian. I spent the night at his ce.”


    “It’s not appropriate for a woman to live together with a man before you’re married,” Qin Ciling criticized, but upon hearing the name of Ji Baijian, her voice had obviously softened up a little.


    “We didn’t do anything, grandma. Don’t worry, I know how to take care of my body,” Song Zhizhi ingratiated herself with her grandmother. She then asked Nie Xiaofei on purpose, “But Xiaofei, I was clearly with youst night. How did we get separated? Where did you go?”


    Nie Xiaofei’s face instantly went pale. She was obviously feeling really terrible.


    Nie Wenzhi quickly spoke up for her, “You two are so careless. How can both of you get yourselves drunkst night? Xiaofei said after she woke up, she didn’t see you, so she could onlye back by herself.”


    “Oh,” Song Zhizhi nodded and smiled meaningfully.


    Perhaps due to guilt, Nie Wenzhi did not dwell on this matter.


    “You said you were with Ji Baijianst night?” Qin Ciling inquired.


    “That’s right, grandma,” Song Zhizhi nodded.


    “The two of you…” Qin Ciling did not ask outright, but she was obviously waiting for Song Zhizhi to answer.


    “We’re fine. Ji Baijian said he’ll give me time to deal with my problem,” Song Zhizhi smiled, “No matter what, our Song family is still a really big brand that the Ji family will find very hard to give up on.”


    Upon hearing this, Qin Ciling finally had a smile on her face. With a proud tone, she said, “That’s true. Who canpare to our Song family?” “That’s right, grandma,” Song Zhizhi sucked up to her.


    The tense atmosphere in the house instantly eased up.


    Nie Wenzhi and Nie Xiaofei could only suppress their feelings and pretend to talk andugh with everyoneelse. Inside, they were depressed beyond belief.


    As the family chatted andughed, Song Zhizhi charged her phone and sent a message to Ji Baijian.


    Half an hourter.


    Song Shan’s phone suddenly went off. Song Shan looked at the caller ID and picked up the call. After listening for a while, his expressionpletely changed.


    “What’s wrong, Shan?” Qin Ciling quickly asked. Qin Ciling had be very sensitive now because of the news previously.


    Nie Wenzhi also asked with concern, “What’s wrong, honey?”


    Song Shan hung up the phone with a ghastly expression, “Check the news!” Nie Wenzhi immediately took out her phone.


    Everyone else but Qin Ciling did the same. Qin Ciling said anxiously, “Read it out for me! What is it?”


    Song Zhizhi flipped through the front page headlines. She found arge headline that read: “Indecent Photos Of A Certain Song Family’s Second


    Daughter Exposed. Suspected Of Having An Affair With Her Brother-In-Law.” “What exactly is the news?” Qin Ciling asked loudly.


    Song Zhizhi nced at Nie Wen Zhi. Her expression had finally changed. Meanwhile, Nie Xiaofei’s entire body was shaking.


    Song Zhizhi said, “Grandma, it’s news about Xiaofei. It says that Xiaofei was with Yi Wenhanst night, and they were caught on camera sleeping together. The photos don’t look photoshoped. There’s even a short video.”


    “What?!” Qin Ciling was so furious that she stood up from the sofa straight away.


    “Mom, you have high blood pressure. Please don’t get angry,” Nie Wenzhi quickly said.


    “Look at the daughter you brought up!” Qin Ciling pointed at Nie Wenzhi and scolded, “You married into our Song family and can’t even teach your own daughter to behave herself? With a scandal like this, how can our Song family show our face from now on?!”


    Nie Wenzhi did not have an immediate answer. She probably did not expect this matter to get exposed to the media.


    “What in tarnation is going on? Who exactly is Yi Wenhan dating? One moment it’s Zhizhi, and the next it’s Xiaofei. Is one Yi Wenhan going to bring our entire Song family down?” Song Shan was furious and looked very frightening.


    Nie Xiaofei was so scared that she did not dare say a single word.


    How did everything suddenly change when she woke up? She could never have imagined this.


    Last night, she was plotting to drug Song Zhizhi and get her into bed with Yi Wenhan, then release the news to prove that they were indeed dating. But somehow, when she opened her eyes, what she saw was herself lying naked next to Yi Wenhan. It must be known that they were biological brother and sister, and yet they…


    The feeling was more disgusting than eating a cockroach. That instant, she felt so terrible that she could die.


    Yi Wenhan panicked too when he woke up. The two of them quickly put on their clothes and left the hotel in a hurry at 3:00 a.m. When Nie Xiaofei returned home to tell her mother what had happened, Nie Wenzhi instantly gave her a p on the face and scolded her for failing to do something so simple.


    They were the one who schemed but got the scheme turned back on them instead. Nie Wenzhi had never been so devastated before. Seeing Nie Xiaofei cry her eyes out only made her feel even more irritated. Fortunately, she could still keep herposure. She asked Nie Xiaofei and Yi Wenhan to pretend that the incident never happened. She would take her time toe up with another n.


    Little did she expect that the news would break.


    Even if Nie Wenzhi was a capable woman, she had no idea how to handle the


    situation right now!
