Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1308: Chapter 779: To Let Go or Stay? (Part 2)

“Second Aunt, I’m sorry for worrying you.” Luo Lian smiled shyly, then looked at Old Master Luo, “Second Grandpa, I’m sorry.”

“Child, there’s nothing to be sorry about, it’s good you’re alright, ah, you poor girl.” Old Master Luo sighed, full of emotion.

For over a year, everyone was so worried whenever Luo Lian was mentioned, such a smart kid, if she didn’t recover, it would be truly regrettable.

Thankfully, the heavens finally showed mercy.

Luo Ye was also filled with emotion since the incident, everyone tried everything to comfort and ease Luo Lian, but never dared to mention the circumstances of Alice and Lisha’s deaths.

And that, precisely, was the real reason she shut down, perhaps when she woke up after fainting, she had always been in a haze, just didn’t show it at the time.

This time, if not for her sudden temper, they might not have dared to bring it up, but unexpectedly it worked, waking Luo Lian up.

It turns out, the reason she shut herself off was that subconsciously she always feared that terrifying incident would happen again, adopting avoidance as a coping mechanism.

What she needed was for someone to clearly tell her that all those who wanted to harm her were dead! Such a simple thing, yet they wasted over a year.

With this turn of events, Luo Ye couldn’t leave immediately, so she called Director Lei to extend her vacation by two days.

This time she completed her task excellently, Director Lei naturally didn’t make things difficult, not only agreed swiftly but also stated that if the time wasn’t enough, she could stay a few more days.

Luo Ye understood the principle of not getting spoiled, although she agreed, she wouldn’t extend the vacation unless absolutely necessary.

“Miss Ye’er…”

Seizing a moment, Xiaoju nudged over to Luo Ye.

“What is it?” Luo Ye asked while heading towards the side hall.

“My father-in-law and mother-in-law…”

“It’s nothing, let them stay here, it makes things livelier.” Not waiting for Xiaoju to finish, Luo Ye interrupted her.

Xiaoju and Xiao Lou’s child was only four months old, originally, Luo Ye wanted Xiaoju to rest for a while, but Xiaoju was adamantly refusing, saying she could have her mother-in-law help during her confinement.

Luo Ye knew she was worried that having a new nanny might mean she couldn’t return, considering the villa currently housed Nuonuo’s family, with Mrs. Nuo being so diligent, she decided not to insist on finding someone new.

The child was too young, and Xiaoju was inexperienced, thus, Xiao Lou’s parents had stayed ever since arriving, naturally, Xiaoju reported this to her.

“Miss Ye’er, thank you. Could you…” Xiaoju looked at Luo Ye with difficulty, “could you say something to my father-in-law and mother-in-law?”

They… they think you don’t welcome them staying here and are packing their luggage in the room, I… my explanation isn’t helping.”

Luo Ye’s face darkened: “Do I have that obligation?”

“No… no…” Xiaoju looked like she was about to cry, “I’ve hesitated for a long time, but if they… if they leave, I’m worried Xiao Lou will blame me.”

“Really?” Luo Ye scrutinized her, “The truth is, your in-laws feel it’s somewhat disgraceful for you to work as a nanny, right?”

“No… it’s not…”

Luo Ye interrupted her: “Nuonuo’s family has a very good temperament, you’re not employed by them, so you act quite naturally, making them feel like everyone’s just one big family, hence no strong feeling.

We came over, your behavior makes them uncomfortable, thinking why should their son working at the City Government serve others, right?”

“Well…” Xiaoju hung her head, not speaking.

Luo Ye glanced at her lightly: “I’ll settle your salary tomorrow.”

“Miss Ye’er…” Xiaoju looked at Luo Ye in panic, “I… I want to stay with you… you and the Secretary and his wife.”

“Xiaoju, maybe you used to think like that, however, since your in-laws arrived, their constant words have changed your mind.

Staying longer has no meaning, Xiao Lou’s job is good, if your in-laws want to stay nearby to help with the child, you can find another job.

I think that kind of life might suit you better, even for the sake of family harmony, you shouldn’t continue working here, don’t you agree?”

“Miss Ye’er, I really haven’t thought about leaving…” Xiaoju started crying, “It’s my in-laws, they always feel being a nanny is servitude work, disgraceful.

Xiao Lou has tried to persuade them many times, but every time there’s a fight, thankfully we live far from Nuonuo’s family, or I’d have no face to stay here long ago.

I’ve discussed with Xiao Lou, once the child is older, we’ll have the in-laws return to the countryside, Miss Ye’er, please don’t send me away.

I was wrong earlier, shouldn’t have asked you to say anything to them, actually… actually I really don’t want Xiao Lou to fall out with them, that’s why I said it, I was wrong, Miss, please don’t send me away…”

Seeing Xiaoju’s legs go weak and about to kneel, Luo Ye quickly closed the side hall door, looking at her helplessly: “Xiaoju, I’ve seen how you’ve done over the years, if nothing else, you can resign now, and come back when your in-laws change their minds.”

After hesitating for a while, Xiaoju nodded: “Thank you, Miss Ye’er, it’s really difficult, my in-laws always think Xiao Lou’s job is glorious, look down on me…”
