Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1646 - 938: Just Escape First_3

"Stop nagging." Father Li glared at his wife, "I’m in a mess too, let me think it over."

"I..."

"I know you’re anxious, I’m anxious too, but anyway, Danni is the one looking for a husband, not us.

Let me weigh things up again..." Father Li said as he walked out, "Forget it, I’ll take a walk outside; staying at home with your nonstop nagging is driving me crazy."

"In this family, nothing I’ve decided on ever counts. When I was young, my mother-in-law controlled everything; now that I’m older, the children are taking over. Once they marry, life will be even more unbearable.

Oh, living is such a torment, it might as well be better to just die..." Hearing Mrs. Li mumbling as she walked inside, Father Li stopped his steps, let out a heavy sigh, and returned to the room. He knew his wife’s temper; he dared not leave her alone at home at such a time.

...

"Sis, what should we do?" After driving for quite a while, Li Xiaoyan kept a tense face and stayed silent, and Li Xiaoxian couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Second Sister, the eldest sister is trying to figure things out, don’t nag her."

Li Xiaoyan glared at her brother with displeasure: "Hmph, you dare talk! You’re mom and dad’s favorite. Why didn’t you stand up for the eldest sister at home?"

"Would it have made a difference?" Li Xiaoning looked speechless, "At my age, being a boy, would they listen to me about such matters?"

"Of course they would. Why else would they ask you for verification and not me?"

"That’s because they think I’m straightforward and won’t lie."

"So I’m the one who lies? Anyway, mom and dad have always trusted you over me since we were little, even though I’m so much older than you. It’s sexism, hmph..."

Li Xiaoning was exasperated: "Second Sister, can you be more mature? The eldest sister is worried sick, and you’re here nagging about things."

"I’m just venting! I’ve said so much, and it’s all reasonable, but it hasn’t made any difference. Can I be happy about that?" Li Xiaoxian sighed heavily, turning her gaze out the window, "If not for me, the eldest sister wouldn’t be facing this today.

When you think about it, it’s my selfishness; the eldest sister was such a good student, if I had been willing to step aside, she would’ve gone to college for sure.

No matter how others fared after college, the eldest sister definitely wouldn’t have been worse off than anyone. Oh, if only time could rewind, I would definitely step aside..."

Through the rearview mirror, Li Xiaoyan glanced at her sister: "If you keep rambling about these things, get out of the car."

"I’m just glad you’re talking." Li Xiaoxian chuckled, "I’m just afraid you’ll make yourself sick by holding it in, so I deliberately teased you into talking."

"You’re not serious." Li Xiaoyan glared at her sister and said with a worried face, "We’ve been too naive, thinking that if we drove back and explained, mom and dad might compromise.

Unfortunately, we completely overlooked Wen Jie. She looks soft and weak, but she’s determined not to give up until she reaches her goal.

The promise her brother-in-law made must be substantial, or she wouldn’t expend so much effort on this.

Truth be told, marrying into the Liang family wouldn’t be a great look for her, and her parents surely wouldn’t be happy with this outcome."

Li Xiaoxian looked worriedly at her sister: "What do you mean by that? Are you really going to compromise?"

"No." Li Xiaoyan shook her head, "I’ve worked at Liangyou for so long and been through so much, I’m not the same old naive Wu Xia A Meng.

Plus, back then, she could play me because I regarded her as my best friend and constantly considered her feelings. This time, that definitely won’t happen."

"By the way, if I hadn’t hit the central control button earlier, what would you have done?" Li Xiaoxian frowned at Li Xiaoyan, "We’ve temporarily escaped, but we have to go back, and face this, Sister, stop the car, let’s carefully talk things through."

Li Xiaoyan looked around, noticing they arrived at a place with no village ahead or shop behind, where it’s unlikely anyone would interrupt. She then pulled over, following Li Xiaoxian’s suggestion.

"At that moment, I was really anxious and was thinking of using President Qu as an excuse, since President Qu had originally planned to help.

But after calming down, I realized it was impractical. Given mom and dad’s current state, they would definitely demand that I hurry up with the marriage.

It might work for a while, but marriage itself can’t be faked, so President Qu is definitely not suitable, and deceiving mom and dad is also not feasible."

Li Xiaoxian thought for a moment and said, "Sister, why don’t you drop me and Xiaoning back at the village, and you head back to Sha City quickly? Once you’re out of sight, they won’t make a fuss anymore."
