Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1026: Chapter 599: Persistence

"Tomboy?" Tang Luo protested, kicking Luo Ye, "Luoluo, Qiu’er said I’m a tomboy. Look at me, where do I look like a tomboy?"

"Not at all, absolutely not." Luo Ye smiled as she looked her up and down, "Look at you now, just like a little woman, where do you resemble a tomboy?" She nudged Xing Nong, "Qiu’er, what kind of eyes do you have? If Tangtang is a tomboy, then 90% of women in the world are tomboys."

"I was just making a comparison, I didn’t say she was a tomboy." Xing Nong looked seriously at Tang Luo, "Tangtang, tell me yourself, ever since you started dating Fu Mo, hasn’t he always been coaxing you and letting you have your way?

Men, no matter how old, are like children, and if you make him coax you every day, won’t he get annoyed? The key thing is that there’s another woman by his side who can not only help him in his career but also cheer him up. Now you tell me, who do you think he would choose?"

Tang Luo rolled her eyes, "Do you think he’s Lu Lu? Needs coaxing too?"

Xing Nong didn’t get angry, just smiled at her, "Tangtang, it’s a different story between me and Lu Lu, really. Initially, I couldn’t stand him being around me.

But recently, after listening to Luoluo’s advice, he doesn’t cling to me like he used to. Now, our relationship feels like friends, siblings, and lovers. I really like it. In other words, even though Lu Lu is younger than me, he’s more mature in his mind.

Furthermore, the Yan Family never had expectations for me to become something, so I don’t feel much pressure and just follow my own interests.

But you’re different. You have to get involved with the Tang Family’s affairs, so you’re destined to shoulder the responsibility of the Tang Family. According to traditional Chinese concepts, male strength and female weakness is the mainstream.

No man wants others to say that he achieved something through nepotism. It’s a fact that the Fu Family is weaker than the Tang Family, so it’s normal for Fu Mo to feel psychological pressure."

Tang Luo shook her head disagreeably, "I don’t agree with you. Luoluo has a lot of responsibilities too, yet Ye Xuan still puts everything aside for her, even prioritizing her development over his work."

"You can’t compare them. Absolute strength comes with absolute confidence. Not to mention that Ye Xuan chose politics, even if he went into business, no one would think he relied on Luoluo for his success.

First, the Ye Family’s background is there. Second, Ye Xuan’s strength is undeniable, and his past achievements speak for themselves. Now, do you think Fu Mo can compare to him?"

"There’s no comparison." Tang Luo slumped her head down dejectedly, "So, if I compare myself to that girl with big eyes, I really have no chance?"

Xing Nong shook her head, "Uh, I don’t know. I’m just helping you analyze it honestly."

Luo Ye looked at Tang Luo seriously, "Tangtang, let me ask you, back then, you were so determined to break up with Fu Mo. Why are you so conflicted now?"

"At that time, I felt he ignored me too much..." Tang Luo furrowed her brows, "In his heart, his career was a thousand times more important than me.

Whenever he came to see me, if there was any work-related matter, he could just leave me at once. Back then, I felt that such a situation between couples was very wrong.

The breaking point for our breakup was when he promised to accompany me to my aunt’s baby’s birthday, but because of work, he couldn’t come along.

The original disappointment had accumulated to an explosive point, so when he finished his work and came over, I resolutely broke up with him.

At the time, my aunt advised me, saying he was a good man and that being serious about work wasn’t a bad thing. But I couldn’t listen, and moreover, he always kept his family and the Tang Family matters so distinct, which really irked me.

Under those circumstances, breaking up with him relieved me greatly. But over the following year, the people and things I encountered gradually helped me realize that no matter how passionate the love, it could become familial over time. Without a solid emotional foundation, going separate ways is quite normal.

In addition, no matter who I’m with, I can’t help but compare them to him. He’s like a shadow, always following and affecting me.

Recently, after my uncle’s affair came to light, I finally understood that a man prioritizing work isn’t a bad thing; it’s the love for romance and play that’s the most terrible poison.

Even when my aunt was heartbroken, she still advised me, saying that love during school days is the purest. Given the Tang Family’s background, it might be hard for me to find someone as suitable as Fu Mo in the future.

After thinking about it, I also found her words very true, so I actively reached out to Fu Mo for reconciliation, but he told me that being with me was too exhausting, and he didn’t want to start again.

Earlier, I was afraid you’d laugh at me, so I didn’t dare to tell you. But over the past few days, when I called him, he told me he already had a girlfriend and asked me not to bother him anymore.

Luoluo, only you can help me. Among us, he listens to you the most. Please tell him for me, as long as he’s willing, I’ll comply with everything in the future. I won’t insist he makes me the center, and I won’t force him to keep me company.

We’re about to graduate soon. By that time, wherever he goes, I’ll go, centering everything around him. Luoluo, could you call him right now?"

"Tangtang..." Luo Ye gently stroked her, "Calm down a bit."

"I am calm, really. Never been calmer in knowing what I truly want. Luoluo, will you help me or not?"

Luo Ye sighed helplessly, "Of course I’ll help you, but Tangtang, if Fu Mo has truly decided to give up, do you think continuing like this makes any sense?"

Xing Nong also said, "That’s right, Tangtang. If you persuade Fu Mo to choose you like this, you might have to watch his mood for the rest of your life. Can you handle that?"

"I can!" Tang Luo looked at them seriously, "When I say I can, I don’t mean I’m deciding to compromise, but that I understand his character.

As long as we can be together again, he will never make me accommodate him just because I took the initiative. I believe, as long as we can reconcile, he’ll treat me the same way he did before.

After all, we have the purest emotional foundation. Considering the future, we are well-matched, from education to ideals, without any conflict. This is the most suitable relationship, isn’t it?"

"Alright, I’ll ask for you." Luo Ye took out his phone and started to dial.

From Tangtang’s tone, she sensed a complaint. If it hadn’t been for everyone’s emotions at that time, Tangtang might have gone to Beijing with Fu Mo.

However, back then, her feelings for Fu Mo weren’t that intense, and the first thing she considered was friendship. But now, love clearly overrides friendship.

Like love, friendship can’t withstand the test of distance and time. In other words, the feelings between them and Tangtang now might not be better than the ones between Tangtang and Xia Qianqian.

It’s also her fault for not considering this at the time, otherwise, it wouldn’t have turned out this way.

"Busy line, I’ll call again later." Luo Ye hesitated for a moment, "Tangtang, don’t rush. The more you rush, the easier it is for things to go wrong."

"I know, I’m sorry." Tang Luo looked apologetically at them, "Recently, maybe influenced by my Aunt’s situation, my mood has been very chaotic.

Please don’t overthink. Because I have a good relationship with you, I dare to vent freely to you. If you also distanced yourselves from me, I would truly be alone."

Yaoguang patted her, "We won’t overthink."

"I also advise you all, in the future, to try not to be separated from your boyfriends for too long. Feelings cannot withstand the test of distance." Tang Luo sighed heavily, "Unfortunately, I realized it a bit late."

Luo Ye and the other three exchanged glances, not knowing what to say.

Although she claimed not to blame them, how could there be no resentment at all deep down? But it is a sensitive time now, and generating such emotions is normal.

"I’m sorry..." Tang Luo saw their expressions and immediately understood, hesitating slightly, and looked at them seriously, "Choosing S University was considering my family’s situation comprehensively and wanting to be with you, so I made this decision. But after coming, I found out that my original thoughts were too unrealistic.

During the summer vacation, you have to train. In the winter vacation, you go home. As for regular breaks, your time isn’t fixed, and military school regulations restrict me from coming to see you often.

Especially seeing you three together every day, with your relationships improving, I feel more and more uncomfortable inside, thinking my choice was wrong, feeling excluded by you.

Yet, I’ve never doubted our friendship. Perhaps if I get past this hurdle, we can return to our previous state. You won’t blame me, will you?"

"We won’t, definitely not." The trio said in unison.

Luo Ye hugged her shoulders, "Tangtang, to be honest, your psychological state must have issues now, but we believe it won’t be long before you move past them."

After a moment of silence, Tang Luo’s eyes brightened, "Hmm, I also believe I can move past them. However, I must strive for my relationship with Fu Mo. Even if we really can’t be together, I still have to try. I don’t want to have regrets when I’m old."

Xing Nong looked at her speechlessly, "Uh, you think ahead."

"Tch, do you think being old is far away?" Tang Luo sneered, "Not convinced? Go home and ask your grandpa and grandma how old they feel they are now."

Yaoguang chimed in, "That’s true. My grandpa is almost eighty years old and still feels like a strong young man every day."

"I should keep trying, otherwise Tangtang won’t be able to sleep tonight." Luo Ye joked as he dialed Fu Mo’s number again, "Luoluo, what’s the matter?" Fu Mo’s voice came through.

"When are you free?"

"Ye’er, what’s up?" The person answering the phone changed to Ye Xuan.

"Why are you with him?" Luo Ye asked in confusion.
