The car slowly returned to the Song family compound.

Song Zhizhi walked into the familiar living room. Her first glimpse of it was truly a moment that felt like a thousand years.

At this time in the afternoon, her father was at the office, her brother was at school, and her stepmother was out doing beauty treatment. The only ones in the house were a bunch of servants who greeted her respectfully, to which she responded with a smile. She returned to her room and lay down on the familiar bed.

She closed her eyes and quietly took in everything that had happened.

In her previous life, her stepmother Nie Wenzhi and her pair of children had come at her with ill intentions. In this life, it was payback time.

Thinking this and that, Song Zhizhi eventually fell asleep.

When she woke up, she confirmed once again that it was still 6 years ago.

Song Zhizhi stretched and walked out of the room feeling refreshed.

Her father had come home from work, her brother had come home from school, Nie Wenzhi had come home from her beauty treatment, and Nie Xiaofei had also returned after choosing her gown. They were all in the living room, so the house felt very lively.

Once upon a time, she was content to have this large family of hers.

Her mother had passed away early — when she was 8 and her brother was 5. During those times, the family was mired in grief and depression. It was not until a year later, when her mother's best friend, Nie Wenzhi, came into the family with Nie Xiaofei did the family regain its warmth. Song Zhizhi was actually grateful to her for that.

A million curses rushed through her mind now.

Song Zhizhi walked to the group. She ran straight to her father, Song Shan, and hugged his neck. "Dad!"

It had been a long time since she had shown such affection to her father. Because she had insisted on calling off the engagement, the relationship between the father and daughter pair had been somewhat strained recently.

Song Shan looked at his daughter, a little surprised. "Why so passionate all of a sudden? Did something good happen?"

"Yup, something amazing happened," Song Zhizhi smiled.

Being reborn was the most amazing thing to ever happen to her.

"It's Xiaofei's birthday tomorrow. Isn't that worth being happy about?" said Song Zhizhi meaningfully.

Nie Wenzhi, the lady sitting next to Song Shan, interjected with a laugh, "It warms my heart to see Zhizhi and Xiaofei having such a good relationship. I must have done a lot of good in my past life to be rewarded with this."

Song Shan nodded and complimented her, "It's also thanks to you. I know taking care of this family for all these years has been hard work."

"How can you call it hard work when it's the source of my happiness? You don't know how grateful I am to be able to marry you and help Lan take care of Zhizhi and Zhidao," Nie Wenzhi remarked sincerely. "I'll be angry if you say something like that again."

"Okay, fine, fine," Song Shan smiled affectionately.

Nie Wenzhi sure had been playing her dad like a fiddle with her sweet words all these years.

Reading the atmosphere, Nie Xiaofei also chimed in, "I'm really happy to be able to join this big family. I get a mom, a dad, a sister and a brother. I'm so content."
