When She Stops Being Dramatic novel Chapter 268

Chapter 268: Chapter 108: Top Star of the 1960s Cultural Troupe (47)_2

Less than two days after the special performance ended, gossip sympathizing with Xia Zhaoyun and denouncing the Song Family was rampant throughout the factory, even more so than before.

After all, last time Xia Zhaoyun was covered in scars, but this time she was deaf in her left ear and her right hand was crippled. What’s more, the news broke right after she had won such a great honor for the factory.

Public tolerance for the Song Family hit rock bottom.

Song Zhenbao’s mother couldn’t take it either. She feigned illness and stayed home, fuming.

When she saw her daughter come home, she rushed over. "Sweetheart, why are you back so early? Did someone say something nasty to you?"

"Didn’t you say anything back? Your father and I are the ones at fault, not you. You’re a victim in all this, too. They have no right to take their anger out on you..."

Song Zhenbao looked at her mother’s earnest expression and scoffed internally. ’Who knows how much of this concern is actually genuine?’

Her mind drifted back to her previous life. They hadn’t found her until five years had passed.

Her younger brother had a rare blood type and suffered from a serious illness that required frequent transfusions. That was the only reason the Song Family finally came looking for her.

At that time, Xia Zhaoyun was still known as Song Ruoyun. She had just joined the Central Political Department and was a source of immense pride for both her family and her in-laws.

As a result, she—the true daughter who had been raised in the countryside—was seen as uncouth and coarse. No matter how hard she tried to learn and adapt, she could never fit into their family of officials. Instead, she became a stain on their reputation, someone they wished they could hide away, treating her as nothing more than a walking blood bag for her younger brother.

Her marriage had been far from happy, either. She had married a team leader from the factory who, on the surface, seemed ambitious and decent enough.

But one night, when her husband was drunk, she found out that the woman he secretly pined for was Song Ruoyun!

All of it gave her ample reason to blame her misfortune entirely on the woman who had stolen her life.

Now that she was reborn, she had already changed many things. For instance, she had returned to the Song Family much earlier.

This time, she conducted herself with poise and propriety, quickly earning the Song Family’s approval. Through her cunning, she had driven Xia Zhaoyun from the house and even won the Tong family’s acceptance. This very weekend, she and Tong Yuanbin would have their engagement ceremony.
