Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1362: Chapter 811: Jing Xi Apologizes

When Ye Xuan and Luo Ye rolled their luggage out of the airport, they attracted countless gazes. It’s no surprise; with Ye Xuan’s height, it’s hard not to notice him, and his looks make it equally difficult not to take a few extra glances.

Luo Ye discreetly put on big sunglasses and stepped back a bit. She didn’t want everyone admiring her the way they would a gorilla.

Unfortunately, Ye Xuan didn’t let her get away with it. He turned around and pulled her to his side, “Don’t fall behind.”

… Who’s falling behind? Luo Ye rolled her eyes in speechless exasperation. This guy, his badness index is skyrocketing, and he’s becoming less fun.

“Hey?” Luo Ye poked Ye Xuan’s side, “Look ahead to the left, the girl with the red scarf.”

Ye Xuan glanced and then turned his head back, “Hmm?”

“That’s Jing Xi.” Luo Ye lowered her voice, “I’m a bit puzzled. Why is she here? Secretary Jing has already agreed to Jing Xi and Wang Wei seeing each other, saying that if they are suitable, they won’t stop them.

Given the warmth between Jing Xi and Wang Wei, why would she suddenly run off to Sha City alone? She should have dragged Wang Wei along if anything.”

Looking again and noticing Jing Xi’s vacant expression, Luo Ye frowned, “Hey, something’s not right. Look at her demeanor. Could something have happened?”

Ye Xuan ruffled her hair, “Don’t look. If you’re worried, call Secretary Jing. Just the gesture is enough. People like that aren’t worth your concern.”

“If it wasn’t for her dad being nice to my dad, I wouldn’t bother.” Luo Ye grumbled, taking out her phone and dialing Jing Chen’s number, feeling it was a bit of a fuss to directly contact Secretary Jing.

“Hello, Luo Ye, is there something you need?” Jing Chen’s formal inquiry came through.

Luo Ye got straight to the point, “How is Jing Xi doing lately?”

“Did you see her?” Jing Chen was quick to respond.

“Yes, I saw her at the airport in Sha City. She seems off, and I’m worried, so I called to check.”

“Luo Ye, could you please stop her? I’ll catch the nearest flight over. I’m not entirely sure what’s going on, but with Xiao Xi’s personality, she wouldn’t just run off by herself if it wasn’t serious.”

“Stopping her might be difficult. How about this—we’ll follow her until she settles down, and I’ll send someone to keep an eye on her. Call me as soon as you arrive.”

“Alright, alright, thank you, Luo Ye.” After hesitating a bit, Jing Chen spoke honestly, “Xiao Xi has been away from home for two days. We tried contacting Wang Wei—his mother said he’s away on a business trip, but they don’t know where he went.”

Luo Ye hung up and looked at Ye Xuan, “Your family’s good at tailing people. Could you lend a hand?”

Ye Xuan agreed, made a call to arrange for someone to take over, but for the time being, he and Luo Ye needed to follow Jing Xi.

“Human nature doesn’t change easily. Look, she got hurt.” Luo Ye muttered, pinching Ye Xuan, “Anyway, society is still too unfair to women.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Ye Xuan dared not argue; his little wife had a fiery temper lately. He wouldn’t dare provoke her, so it was best to comply.

“Why do you sound so reluctant?”

… Uh, is this picking bones from an egg? With tears like noodles, Ye Xuan almost swore with a hand on his chest. After explaining for a long while, Luo Ye reluctantly gave a snort, “Okay, I’ll believe you’re willing.”

Wen Su, Wen Ke, and Wen Nan decided last minute to spend two days in Ludong, leaving the two of them alone. They followed Jing Xi, bantering and flirting, amusing themselves along the way.

Fortunately, Jing Xi was too absorbed in moving forward, or else, following others’ sight lines, she could easily spot them.

After leaving the airport, Luo Ye and Ye Xuan took a taxi to continue trailing, “Luckily, we didn’t arrange for a pick-up, or it would be hard not to get exposed.” Luo Ye appeared relieved—they hadn’t informed anyone of their return time.

“You two…” The driver, a man in his forties, glanced back at them, “Not catching someone cheating, are you?”

“Uncle…” Luo Ye shot him a sideways glance, “Your line of questioning is something else.”

“No, no…” The driver appeared a bit embarrassed, “I’ve driven too many passengers like that lately. You two don’t look the part, so I just asked.”

Ye Xuan gave him a mild glance, “Just follow that taxi in front, don’t lose it.”

“Sure, sure, sure.” The driver readily complied, then couldn’t help but comment, “Driving a cab for so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen a couple as good-looking and well-matched as you two.”

“Hmm.” The Handsome Ye’s eyes hinted at a smile, and his tone softened a bit.

The driver figured it out—praise them, and the super handsome guy would be pleased. So he continued, “I can read faces. Both of you are destined for wealth and prosperity, sure to have a house full of descendants and a blissful life.”

Luo Ye gave him a side-eye, “Uncle, isn’t it too early to say that? We’re still so young, can’t even talk about grandkids yet.”

“Good thing he’s not a palm reader, or we’d be in trouble.” Ye Xuan said quietly.

“Little brother, little sister, pardon my words, hehe, I don’t usually talk much, but I do love seeing young couples, especially such a perfectly matched pair like you two.” The driver chuckled, stealing glances at the couple from time to time. Clearly, he was fond of watching handsome and beautiful people.

“Just focus on driving.” Ye Xuan was a little displeased. What’s the deal with him having such a fixation on staring at his little wife?

The driver wasn’t foolish and quickly realized his mistake, saying, “After looking a couple more times, it’s clear you two are destined for more than just this lifetime together…”

“Alright, uncle, say any more, and it’ll turn all mystical.” Luo Ye interrupted the driver, giving Ye Xuan a glare, “Help uncle keep an eye on the car in front, don’t lose it.”

It was an indirect warning to the driver not to scare people unnecessarily.

With such an amusing driver, the journey was full of fun. As they twisted and turned, Luo Ye noticed the car in front was heading towards GF University.

The driver chuckled, shaking his head, “Little brother, little sister, there’s another route that costs only twenty bucks if you go this way. But now… now it’s ninety—that driver is unscrupulous.”

“We’ve noticed.” Luo Ye nodded, “Don’t worry, uncle, we’ll pay the original price—we won’t say you’re being dishonest.”

“I know, I know, it’s not that I’m worried you’ll shortchange me; it’s just, as a fellow driver, I’m really angry about these people. I must take down his plate number and report him, people like him are the bad apples ruining a whole pot of stew.”

As expected, the car in front stopped at GF University’s gate.

Ye Xuan shook his head with amusement, “Ye’er, she must be here looking for you.”

The driver, hearing their conversation, brightened up and handed them a business card, “Little brother, little sister, here’s my contact info. Call me when you need a ride in the future.”

“Alright.” Luo Ye replied, taking it. Seeing the driver’s hesitance, she asked, “Uncle, anything else?”

“Are you students here?” The driver looked at them eagerly.

“I am.”

“My daughter wants to apply here too. She’s from Shashi Second Middle School, always ranks in the top ten of her grade, 166 cm tall, no nearsightedness. Do you think she has a chance?”

“Uncle, I can’t be too sure, but based on her grades, doing well on the entrance exam should be fine. The physical exam is also crucial for admission.”

“I was wondering, if she has any difficulties, can she ask you for advice?”

“Sure, have her call me.” Luo Ye readily handed her phone number to the driver.

“Thank you, thank you. As a taxi driver, I don’t have many connections. I just want to help my kid in any way I can.” The driver said, returning the money to Ye Xuan, “Little brother, I can’t take the money, I’m counting on you for great help.”

“Business is business, you also spent lots of gas.” Ye Xuan stuffed the money back into the driver’s hand, shut the car door, and tapped on the window, “Don’t be awkward with us, just go.”

From their attire, it was evident they weren’t short on cash. The driver, no longer polite, started the car and drove off slowly. Meanwhile, Jing Xi was negotiating with the gatekeeper at the school gate.

Luo Ye and Ye Xuan walked over, just in time to hear Jing Xi saying, “I don’t know which class she’s in, could you help me check? I’m sure she’s a student here.”

“Are you looking for me?”

“Yes, yes, this lady here is looking for you.” The gatekeeper let out a sigh of relief upon seeing Luo Ye. Jing Xi turned, her expression complex as she looked at Luo Ye, then suddenly kicked the gatekeeper’s leg, “Didn’t you say earlier that you didn’t know her? Liar!”

“I…” The gatekeeper smiled wryly, “Aside from knowing Luo’s name, you couldn’t give me anything else. How could I have told you?”

Ye Xuan’s eyes filled with approval. He took out a box of panda-shaped chocolates from his bag and handed it over to the gatekeeper, “Take it.”

“Thank you, thank you.” The gatekeeper didn’t recognize Ye Xuan, only kept expressing gratitude.

After bringing Jing Xi to the small meeting room, Luo Ye went to say hello to Xiang Mingliang, leaving Ye Xuan there to chat with him. She returned to the small meeting room, smiling at Jing Xi, “What do you need from me?”

“To apologize.” Jing Xi stood up and gave a deep bow.

Luo Ye sighed softly, “Sit and tell me, what happened?”

“He was just using me…” Tears shimmered in Jing Xi’s eyes.

“Why don’t you tell Uncle Jing about this?” Luo Ye sighed again, “You should trust that Uncle Jing and Brother Jing will stand up for you. They both love you very much.”

“I…” Jing Xi’s expression flickered, “I don’t know how to tell him. He advised me against it, but I didn’t listen, which led to this predicament.

And if I told them, Wang Wei might not be able to stay in Ludong anymore, even though he deceived me. But still, I gave him genuine feelings.”

“You…” Luo Ye looked at her helplessly, unsure of what to say. This was a girl straightforward to the point of foolishness. Should she be pitied or blamed? (To be continued.
