Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1320: Chapter 787: Resolution

“The opportunity has been given to you, and since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Feng Tianzhi’s sinister tone made Lin Birou retract the steps she was about to take. She hesitated for a moment, sat back down, eyes brimming with tears, twisting the hem of her clothes without speaking.

“Not pursuing an acting career is truly a pity for you. I just can’t fathom how such an honest family could produce someone like you. Wanting to live a good life should involve effort and not relying on others’ donations to fulfill one’s selfish desires—how can you be so complacent?”

“I…” Lin Birou glanced quickly at Feng Tianzhi and then lowered her head. “I admit I was wrong—I’m sorry.”

“Your donor was a fourteen-year-old boy, at the age when he needs nutrition, yet he sent his money to you frugally. His mother is a maid.” At this, Feng Tianzhi leaned back, staring at Lin Birou, silent.

“I’m sorry.” Lin Birou’s head drooped even lower.

“Raise your head and look at me straight.” Feng Tianzhi ordered.

“Yes.” She responded in a voice barely above a whisper and slowly raised her head, looking helplessly pitiful.

“Girls, maintaining self-respect will earn respect from others…” Feng Tianzhi’s tone grew colder. “Changing your name doesn’t mean you suddenly become sophisticated—those who go to Starbucks are not necessarily wealthy.”

“If you want to catch a rich husband, with this approach… forget it, I won’t waste words on you. The scholarship Dongdong gave you must be returned within half a year.”

“As for why the timeline is extended to half a year, you should understand. If during this period, you still don’t change your ways, you’ll face lifelong regret.”

“I want to live a good life—is that wrong? Why are some people born with everything, while my desire to study well is impeded?”

“What I did was only hoping to pave the way while I have resources—only thus can I ensure my descendants won’t be looked down upon like me.”

“Is this really so unforgivable? Everyone has the right to strive for a better life. I was merely leveraging my resources to exchange for a future, so why are you being so aggressive?”

This fierce accusation was strangely uttered in a soft, sweet voice, creating an extreme sense of oddity.

“Hmm, using a child’s money to help yourself catch a rich husband—is that forgivable?” Feng Tianzhi shook his head in speechless disbelief. If he weren’t feeling idle, unwilling to return to Beijing or Sha City, he wouldn’t be bothering with her nonsense here.

Over the past two days, he used his resources to extensively investigate her actions, and could only conclude: the bigger the forest, the more diverse the birds.

This Miss Lin’s image at school is indeed that of a humble, impoverished student. But every weekend, she brings stylish clothes, changes in a public restroom, and then heads to Starbucks to pose as a pure, fashionable female college student to fish for a rich husband.

In the process, two men dated her for a while. Eventually, one dumped her, and she dumped the other. She is currently in an open window period.

Therefore, when Feng Tianzhi arrived, she began putting on an act.

“This won’t work with me. You should know why I’m sitting here, right?” Feng Tianzhi glanced at her indifferently. “You’ve grown astray—it’s impossible to straighten you out. What I can do is seek justice for my friend.”

“First, return the money you received in full. Second, make a special apology to him during winter break, and thirdly, your actions must meet my satisfaction. Otherwise, your deeds will make newspaper headlines after the New Year.”

“At that time, even without a photo, anyone who knows you can guess who the subject is. Naturally, the school will not keep a student like you. Think about it.”

“Feng… Mr. Feng…” Lin Birou stared pitifully at Feng Tianzhi. “I will do everything you said, but could you… make some concessions?”

Feng Tianzhi raised an eyebrow: “How do you want me to concede?”

“Could the repayment period be extended until after graduation? Even if I consider it a loan, I will repay my benefactor with interest after graduating.”

“Also… please don’t tell the school about this. My parents worked hard to support me—it hasn’t been easy. They’re not in good health and couldn’t handle the blow.”
