Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1312: Chapter 782: The Cause

“Ye’er, where do you feel uncomfortable?” Wen Xin followed Luo Ye into the bedroom, looking worriedly at her daughter’s flushed face, “Is it a cold, or… Maybe Ye’er should quickly go back to Sha City to see Grand Old Master Ye.”

“Mom, please step outside for a bit.” Luo Ye, unable to explain, pushed Wen Xin out the door and shut it with a bang before Wen Xin could react, leaving her pacing nervously outside, afraid to ask questions.

“Gr-gr-grandpa, what symptoms might appear when practicing the Ye Family’s Heart Method?” Luo Ye asked, enduring the discomfort, as she dialed Grand Old Master Ye’s phone number. Right now, she felt like she was burning up.

Originally, she intended to utilize the Ye Family’s Heart Method to relieve herself, but now, being in the villa and not in the forest, she feared that should she turn this place to ashes… it was daylight, and for the safety of everyone and herself, she couldn’t take that risk.

“Symptoms?” Grand Old Master Ye was overjoyed to see Luo Ye’s call on the screen, but upon hearing her breathless voice, his heart sank, “Ye’er, what’s happening to you?”

“Grandpa, please just answer my question first.”

“Oh, oh, oh, the effect of the Ye Family’s Heart Method primarily enhances inner strength, improving coordination of the hands, feet, and eyes, as well as clearing the mind and sight, with no side effects.

There’s just one thing, with the last two levels, they require a man and woman to practice together; otherwise, the practice and non-practice are indistinguishable, but there are definitely no side effects.”

After a slight pause, Grand Old Master Ye added, “Ye’er is my great-granddaughter-in-law, if there were side effects, how could I let Ye’er try? Ye’er, tell Grandpa, what exactly is going on?”

“I… I might be catching a cold, don’t worry, Grandpa.” Luo Ye made her voice carry a hint of laughter, “I was just feeling dizzy earlier and thought the Ye Family’s Heart Method went wrong, causing problems. Looks like watching martial arts films indiscriminately led me astray too.”

“Ye’er, don’t fool Grandpa, tell the truth.” The Grand Old Master’s voice became stern, “Or is it that Ye’er doesn’t trust Grandpa?”

“No, I suddenly felt burning discomfort all over, and…” After some consideration, Luo Ye recounted to the Grand Old Master what happened in the forest, omitting the strange change of the mark on her forehead.

Currently, although unwell, her eyesight was now infinitely better than before, not exaggerating to say she could clearly count the legs on the ants crawling on the ground.

For such matters, probably only the Grand Old Master could provide some insight, given his age and experience. If even he couldn’t explain, then the issue truly seemed insolvable.

After a long silence, the Grand Old Master spoke in a deep tone, “Every sip and bite are predetermined. Ye’er, if it hadn’t been for the Ye Family’s Heart Method, you might have lost your life the day before yesterday.

As for why you’re experiencing these symptoms, Grandpa is not entirely sure yet, but Grandpa can tell you with certainty, the second Family Head of the Ye Family once experienced the same symptoms as Ye’er.”

At the time, the Ye Family’s Heart Method hadn’t been created yet, the old ancestor succumbed to dust during that change, and the Ye Family’s original foundation was created under the old ancestor’s leadership, hence after the ancestor’s demise, the descendants went all out seeking a solution.

It took thirty years, but they finally created the Ye Family’s Heart Method, which specifically targets this kind of heat syndrome. This matter is recorded in the Ye Family’s history, and when Ye’er comes, Grandpa will show it to you.”

The Grand Old Master’s words left Luo Ye in a cold sweat.

She never imagined she would unknowingly walk on the edge of life and death, or perhaps, many things in life are truly destined. If she hadn’t met Ye Xuan, she wouldn’t have met Grandpa, and naturally, wouldn’t have obtained the Ye Family’s Heart Method. So now, the Luo Family… she dared not continue to think…

“Ye’er, don’t say anything, quickly use the Ye Family’s Heart Method, don’t hang up the phone.” The Grand Old Master commanded from the other end of the line.

“Yes, Grandpa.” Luo Ye obediently sat cross-legged, initiating the Ye Family’s Heart Method, feeling her mind clearing and the body heat gradually fading.

Half an hour later, completely back to normal, Luo Ye asked the Grand Old Master with a conflicted face, “Grandpa, what if this keeps happening? What if I’m on a mission and die without knowing why?”

“How many times has Ye’er had an episode?”

“This is the second time.”

“How does this time compare to the last time?”

Luo Ye thought for a moment, “Much lighter than last time. If it were like before, the villa might have already burned down.”

“That’s good.” The Grand Old Master sighed in relief on the other end of the line, “If my estimation is correct, it will occur once more, and then it will be over. The next occurrence should be in three days. Extend your leave for a few days, Grandpa will come over tomorrow.”

“Grandpa, have you seen examples like this before? I mean, apart from that old ancestor, has anyone else had these symptoms?” This matter was too strange, Luo Ye still felt somewhat uneasy.

“Yes, but it didn’t happen in the Ye Family, however, that person coincidentally had ties with the Ye Family, and was saved by them, and subsequently stayed with the Ye Family.

The Ye Family, with everything it has now, owes a great deal to that outsider.” After a pause, the Grand Old Master added, “Ye’er, anyone who experiences this syndrome is truly favored by the heavens.”

“Almost dying, and that’s considered heavenly favor.” Luo Ye couldn’t help but mutter softly.

“Great love often comes with tribulations, evading them depends on luck.” The Grand Old Master’s voice held a hint of laughter, “Ye’er, the future advancement of the Ye Family rests on you.”

Luo Ye: “…”

Regarding this matter, I can’t hide it from Mom, or she’d worry to death, right? So, after hanging up Grandpa’s call, Luo Ye told Wen Xin everything that could be said.

Stunned for a while, Wen Xin looked her daughter up and down: “Ye’er, even if others say you’re an immortal descending to earth, Mom would believe it.”

“Mom…” Luo Ye was speechless, “Are there mothers who praise themselves like this?”

“How am I praising myself?” Wen Xin looked confused; she was clearly praising her daughter, wasn’t she?

“If your daughter is an immortal descended to earth, wouldn’t that make you a person with the virtue accumulated over ten lifetimes?” Luo Ye chuckled, “Mom, if you say you’re kind-hearted, just say it outright. I won’t make fun of you.”

“You…” Luo Ye laughed and changed the topic, “Xiaoju’s in-laws came to plead with me. I said I wouldn’t interfere; it’s all up to Ye’er.”

Luo Ye pursed her lips: “No wonder I got stopped by that mother-in-law duo before I even entered.”

“I was going to stop them from seeking Ye’er. But then I thought, things need to be resolved, and Ye’er is much better at handling matters than Mom, so I didn’t intervene.”

“Mom, since when did you become so sweet-tongued?”

“Child, how could you speak to your mom like that? I’m just speaking the truth, aren’t I?”

“Mom, to be honest, are you upset?” Luo Ye’s clear eyes stared straight at Wen Xin, forcing her to look away, “No.”

“Mom, lying is bad.” Luo Ye laughed and patted her, “As the wife of a secretary, you need to learn to be decisive in the future.

This time, since I’m here, I’ll handle it. But what if I weren’t here? Wouldn’t you soften and let them stay?”

Wen Xin’s eyes flickered, and she smiled uncomfortably: “Maybe.”

“Mom, principles are very important. Indulging them is like adding a time bomb to your life.” Luo Ye looked at her seriously, “Dad, it’s not easy to get where he is today; we can’t let anyone disrupt that.”

“Ye’er, I understand.” Wen Xin patted her daughter’s head, “In the future, Mom won’t be overly soft-hearted. Xiaoju has had a tough time, but after years of comfort, indeed some changes have occurred.

I always remember her initial goodness, unwilling to think of the bad, yet some things don’t cease to exist because we ignore them, nor can we deceive ourselves.”

As the mother and daughter were talking, they heard a noisy commotion from downstairs. Luo Ye perked up her ears for a couple of sentences: “Mom, let’s go down; Grandpa’s brought everyone back, and Uncle Shangguan is back too.”

The atmosphere at dinner was very harmonious. The revitalized Luo Lian was even livelier than before, making everyone smile with joy. Her demeanor of the past year and the experiences she had gone through truly made everyone cherish her deeply.

The only slightly tense part was Xiaoju and Uncle Lou and Aunt Lou’s perpetually stern faces, which further solidified Wen Xin’s decision to let Xiaoju go.

A maid who can’t position herself properly is indeed unsuitable to remain here.

Luoluo, I really regret not attending the military academy.” Ying Nuo stared at Luo Ye for a while, finally unable to hold back.

“Just because of my skin?” Luo Ye glanced at her expression, knowing what she was thinking.

Ying Nuo tugged at her hair, conflicted: “Yes, look at you now; you appear five or six years younger than me.”

“I could slap you…” Luo Ye glared at her, “You’re only twenty-one. If I’m five or six years younger, then how old am I? Are you insulting me or complimenting me?”

“If it’s about skin, you’re no different from a baby now.” Ying Nuo turned to Wen Xin for support, “Mom, isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

Wen Xin and Mrs. Nuo replied in succession. Understanding her mistake, Mrs. Nuo smiled awkwardly at Wen Xin: “I thought they were asking me.”

“It’s the same for everyone; we’re all Nuonuo’s mom. By the way, sister-in-law, I came this time to discuss Nuonuo and Xiao Feng’s marriage.

Zhenggang’s idea is for us elders to discuss first. Sister-in-law, if you have any terms, feel free to mention them. As long as our family can meet them, we will.” (To be continued.
