Chapter 5: Punching Song Jiaojiao

"Everyone, look at this! Unscrupulous, black-hearted boss! My sister got a zero on her college entrance exam! What kind of place is this Pet Center? To actually recruit someone like this, they must have some unspeakable conspiracy going on."

When Song Tiantian walked out, she immediately saw Song's mother holding a banner: *Give me back my daughter.*

Song Jiaojiao was currently setting up a tripod to livestream.

This was no longer simple malice. Previously, it could have been dismissed as her delusion; she had no evidence. But now, it was clear they wouldn't rest until they had destroyed her.

She even suspected that Song Jiaojiao had bound some kind of system, where the more miserable she made her, the more benefits she received. Otherwise, there was no way to explain this behavioral logic!

She had originally intended to forgive Song Jiaojiao for the sake of the original host, but now, it was a fight to the death.

Song Tiantian forced a smile and walked up to Song Jiaojiao, saying with a beaming face, "Jiaojiao, you came to find me while I was at work. Luckily, my boss is very kind and specifically let me come out to see you. Why did you and Mom come here like this? Have you eaten? I'll take you both to the restaurant nearby to eat."

"Song Tiantian, Mom and I came here for your own good, specifically to take you home. Who doesn't know that the Pet Center is full of ferocious beasts, and I heard they're even conducting terrifying experiments inside..."

*Slap!*

Song Jiaojiao's voice cut off abruptly.

Song Tiantian swung her hand back and delivered another massive slap to Song Jiaojiao, sending her tumbling to the ground.

Song's mother was bewildered. She froze for a second, and seeing that Song Tiantian was about to strike again, she immediately tried to step forward to pull Song Tiantian back, but Song Tiantian pushed her away with a backhand.

Song Tiantian turned around and looked at Song's mother with cold indifference, saying with a heartbroken expression, "Regarding how I got a zero on my exam—do you really know nothing at all? You helped Song Jiaojiao clean up the mess; did you think I didn't see anything?

The two of you conspired to poison my drink; I endured it.

I consider the debt of birth and the debt of upbringing fully repaid to you.

In school and on the internet, Song Jiaojiao spread rumors that my previous grades were obtained through cheating. I didn't say a word, but I am a normal human being!

My heart grows cold!

I am not a masochist; I don't get excited by being mistreated.

I just wanted to leave home, find a new job, start over, and live my life again. Those online rumors would have faded away after a few years.

But you still refused to let me go. I scored a zero, and you and Song Jiaojiao scolded me at home every single day, saying I wouldn't go out to earn money and telling me to go to a bar to dance for money."

"Tiantian, what nonsense are you talking about!"

Song's mother said to Song Tiantian with a bitter face.

Song Jiaojiao wanted to speak, but she was kicked several more times by Song Tiantian, leaving her in too much pain to utter a word.

"Nonsense? Do you dare look me in the eyes and tell me that you truly know nothing? Do you know that I was nearly poisoned to death? In the exam hall, I was in so much pain I couldn't even write my own name; I lost my soul and my spirit.

My own kin tried to poison me to death! And then they wanted to trample on my bones to slander my previous grades as being obtained through cheating."

Song's mother wanted to say something, but she didn't dare look Song Tiantian in the eye. Finally, remembering her purpose for coming here, she shouted earnestly at Song Tiantian, "Tiantian, I knew before that you suffered and faced grievances, but Jiaojiao said this Pet Center is a place that eats people.

I truly did it for your own good, wanting you to live well. Jiaojiao also wants what's best for you!

Besides, your sister also helped you find a job. It's not dancing in some bar; it's entering the entertainment industry to become a big star. You've been smart since you were a child; you will surely make something of yourself."

Song's mother didn't know exactly what Song Jiaojiao had done to Song Tiantian, but she had watched both Song Tiantian and Song Jiaojiao grow up; how could she not understand them?

She knew Song Jiaojiao's personality very well; normally, she wouldn't bother making drinks for Song Tiantian, let alone being so diligent about cleaning the kitchen.

Song Tiantian had always had good grades; with something as major as the college entrance exam, how could she possibly score a zero?

It was just that both were her daughters, and both were precious to her.

Moreover, Song Jiaojiao now had a bright future, having been admitted to a key university.

One daughter was already ruined; the other could not be ruined as well.

This was the only scholar in the Song family!

In her heart, she felt that Song Jiaojiao wasn't that malicious; perhaps she just felt the family couldn't afford to support two people in university and wanted one to give up.

"Then you are admitting that you knew about this. My dear mother, you knew all this and still brought Song Jiaojiao here to try and make me lose my job together. Do you have a heart? Does your heart feel any pain?"

Song Tiantian didn't even bother explaining to Song's mother. How easy would it be for an ordinary, poor girl with no talent and no training to break into the entertainment industry?

Her elder sister dreamed of being a big star; although she could only play small supporting roles in short dramas every time, she was very happy.

If her sister had any resources or connections, she would definitely give them to her first.

But this kind of debate and controversy was useless; Song's mother wouldn't listen; she would only feel that Song Tiantian was challenging her dignity as an elder.

Therefore, Song Tiantian used poison against poison, only bringing up the things they did to harm her.

As for who had released the rumors about her cheating on her previous grades, she didn't know, but that didn't stop Song Tiantian from pinning the blame on Song Jiaojiao. Because as far as she knew, the only person who wanted to deal with her this much was Song Jiaojiao. Since she couldn't find the mastermind behind the scenes, she would just pin the black pot on Song Jiaojiao.

She didn't understand; she had already gone out to work, so why did Song Jiaojiao still have to come out and mess with her? Previously, she had only hinted that she knew who the culprit was, without openly tearing the mask off.

They were family; there was no deep-seated hatred, so why be so obsessed with targeting her? If this ability to cause trouble were applied to studying, perhaps Song Jiaojiao would be number one, a top scholar.

Song Jiaojiao struggled to get up, wanting to turn off the livestream, but Song Tiantian had been working hard to exercise at home these past few days, plus she had practiced cultivation yesterday and had learned self-defense in her past life. As a result, Song Jiaojiao couldn't fight back at all and received another slap from Song Tiantian.

"Song Tiantian, I am a student from a prestigious university! If you dare hit me like this, my fans definitely won't let you off!"

"Oh my! Song Jiaojiao, hitting people is wrong. It's illegal; it's the crime of intentional injury to another's body. The most correct choice is to report it to the police, and while you're at it, investigate the matter of me being poisoned during my exam. Every action leaves a trace, and every wind leaves a sound; as long as it was done, there will be evidence."

Song Tiantian originally wanted to say they could check Song Jiaojiao's purchase records; the Song family was not wealthy, so such a large expense would be easy to track.

But she was also afraid that if Song Jiaojiao happened to have a system, what if the poison was provided by the system?

After all, she had fainted once in the exam hall, and a doctor had examined her at the time, but nothing had been found.
