Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 744: Chapter 447: Helpless

"Ye’er, don’t bother with her; her goal is to keep you here and have you meet with Feng Tianzhi," Ye Xuan revealed the mystery for Luo Ye.

"Ye Xuan, can’t you just play dumb?" Lei Yu glared at him and looked at the amused Lei Dawei, "Dad, why don’t you send this kid to peacekeeping? He’s such an eyesore."

Lei Dawei spread his hands: "I’d like to, but is that possible?"

"Little Ye’er, we’re used to joking like this; don’t take it to heart." Seeing Luo Ye’s embarrassed look, Lei Yu quickly explained, "I do like Feng Tianzhi, but I’m definitely not that kind of woman who loses herself and her judgment over a man.

I’m aware that Feng Tianzhi’s fondness is for Little Ye’er. To be honest, I’m very envious. Having known Feng Tianzhi for so many years and seen countless women go crazy for him, I’ve never seen him be crazy for any girl until now. This time, it’s been quite eye-opening for me.

However, I’m clear about what kind of person he is; I really never planned anything with him. It’s just simple admiration for the way he handles things.

As for wanting to keep Little Ye’er here, it’s true that I thought about having Feng Tianzhi come out with us. That guy is quite particular; if I just asked him out alone, he definitely wouldn’t accept the invitation..."

"Alright, no need to explain," Ye Xuan interrupted her, pulling Luo Ye away.

"Afraid, huh? It seems like you really are scared..." Their departure was accompanied by the schadenfreude tone of Lei Yu’s voice.

Luo Ye sneaked a peek at Ye Xuan, whose face was as calm as still water.

"Are you angry?"

"Do I seem that petty?" Ye Xuan said with a smile, patting her head, "Girl, you think too lowly of me, don’t you?"

Luo Ye pouted her lips: "Then why that expression?"

"I was just pondering whether there’s a chance between Lei Yu and Feng Tianzhi. Lei Yu is Director Lei’s only daughter, and Director Lei’s wife passed away when Lei Yu was ten, and he never remarried since.

You can see from Lei Yu’s personality; she’s tomboyish but also incredibly stubborn. Ye’er, I’m not doubting you, I’m just genuinely feeling that it hasn’t been easy for Director Lei and Lei Yu to depend on only each other all these years."

"I understand." Luo Ye nodded.

"However, considering Feng Tianzhi’s personality, it’s probably challenging. Ye’er..." Ye Xuan hesitated, "Feng Tianzhi’s stubbornness is beyond imagination; he might really do as he says he would."

"Worrisome." Luo Ye scratched her head, "What does he actually like about me? Am I really that good?"

"Of course." Ye Xuan tightened his grip on her arm, "I’m grateful for heaven’s kindness for letting me meet you early. Otherwise, I could have been the one feeling sorrowful right now."

Xiao Luo, Xiao Ye...

The two turned around and saw Lin Tuanzhang hurrying over, quickly greeting him, "Lin Tuanzhang, hello there."

"Hello, you two. I was just here for some work. I heard you guys were here and hurried over, almost missing you." While speaking affectionately, Lin Tuanzhang took Luo Ye’s hand, "Little Luoye, did you miss Auntie?"

"Yes, but it’s just that I’ve been pretty busy these last few days and haven’t had the chance to visit Auntie." Luo Ye complied with Lin Tuanzhang’s self-reference.

"Aunt Lin, please speak your mind," said Ye Xuan.

Lin Tuanzhang looked grateful: "Xiao Xuan, I came to thank you both. If it weren’t for you, we don’t know what could have happened to Lin Peng."

"You’re too polite; it was all in the line of duty." Ye Xuan quickly replied.

"Even if it was in the line of duty, I still need to thank you. Without you, who knows when the case would be cleared up. Imagine if Lin Peng and she got married...," Lin Tuanzhang sighed deeply, "Do you think I’m being too selfish?"

"You can’t say that; every parent wishes the best for their children."

"Ye’er sure can talk." Lin Tuanzhang said while pinching Luo Ye’s cheek, "When you have time, come and have a meal with our family; Lin Peng’s dad often talks about this too."

Luo Ye looked troubled at her: "Aunt Lin, I’m afraid it won’t work before the New Year; I have to return to my hometown tomorrow."

Lin Tuanzhang hesitated for a moment, then looked at the two earnestly: "I have an inappropriate request; I want to attend your engagement ceremony on Chu Jiu, is that okay?"

Luo Ye quickly replied: "Why wouldn’t it be okay? We’d be more than happy if you could attend."

"Well, I won’t take up any more of your time as a couple," Lin Tuanzhang said politely, making her departure.

Once Lin Tuanzhang was far enough away, Luo Ye looked at Ye Xuan, "Oh, I’ve been meaning to ask, how is Fan Rui doing now?"

"Her?" Ye Xuan shook his head, "She’s now friends with Qiao Xiaowan."

"Huh?" Luo Ye blinked, "How did they end up together?"

"After Qiao Xiaowan got arrested again, Qiao Aimin and Old Sir Qiao insisted that she be imprisoned normally, so she was placed in a cell for four, one of whom is Fan Rui."

"I get it now; they must have realized they have a common enemy and thus became allies," Luo Ye curled her lips, "Would you say it’s unfair? I did nothing, yet ended up attracting a whole bunch of people."

"Ye’er, I’m sorry." Ye Xuan looked at her with guilt, "In the future, this won’t happen again."

"Forget it, it wasn’t your intention," Luo Ye said magnanimously, waving her hand, "Since I’ve picked you, a source of trouble, I have to learn to adapt."

"Everyone who likes Ye has never caused me trouble, yet it’s always me bringing trouble to Ye. I even have a desire to... ruin my own face..."

"Stop, stop, stop..." Luo Ye interrupts him, "I’d rather have a little more trouble than you doing something so foolish. Hehe, it’s normal to like beautiful things; I love to look at them too."

Ye Xuan: "..."

"Stop right there, both of you!"

An angry shout suddenly comes from behind them.

Luo Ye listens carefully, "It’s Lin Ling’er." She mutters under her breath, "She’s still so full of herself, you can’t even tell that something’s happened to her family."

Ye Xuan’s mouth twitches as he turns around with her in his arms.

"You two, why are you framing my dad?" Lin Ling’er’s eyes are bloodshot as she stares at them.

"We’re framing your dad?" Luo Ye shakes her head in disbelief, "You’re giving us too much credit. With our status, do we even have that ability?"

"It’s you guys." Lin Ling’er points at Luo Ye, "Especially you. My dad has been so kind to you, and yet you frame him. Do you even have a conscience?"

"Who told you this nonsense?" Luo Ye sizes her up, "Who told you that we were here?"

"It doesn’t matter who told me, I just know. Can you honestly say to yourself that this is how you repay my dad’s kindness to you? My dad has never cared about Sister Hang as much as he cared about you; everyone has a heart, you can always feel whether others have been good to you, can’t you?"

Luo Ye shakes her head, "I think you’re mistaken. I suggest you personally ask your dad about this matter; that would be more appropriate."

"I don’t need to ask; the facts are right in front of me." Lin Ling’er’s tears burst out, "Why do you want to take everything from me? Xiao Zhi was taken by you, and my dad’s been harmed like this because of you. They say ’beauty brings disaster,’ and it’s true..."

Ye Xuan glances at Lin Ling’er with indifference and holds Luo Ye closer, "Ye, let’s go."

"Don’t!" Lin Ling’er stretches out both hands, blocking their path, "Even if I was wrong just now, even if I was talking nonsense, I beg you, please spare my dad, okay?"

Ye Xuan seriously looks at her, "Miss Lin, you really have it wrong. This has nothing to do with us, nor do we have the power to influence this matter. If you really want to help your dad, then go home, continue to live a good life, and visit him periodically. I think that would be the greatest comfort for him."

"Is it so satisfying to make sarcastic remarks?" Lin Ling’er sneers, "Forget it, one day, you’ll regret this."

Luo Ye silently wipes her forehead, wondering why everyone has learned to threaten others over nothing. But the question is, who’s been stirring things up in front of Lin Ling’er, making her so convinced that this has something to do with her and Ye Xuan?

...

In the Feng Family study, Old Sir Feng and Feng Tianzhi are sitting face to face.

Old Sir Feng looks to be in his mid-seventies, lean with noticeable age spots on his cheeks, though his complexion is remarkably healthy.

The grandfather and grandson have been sitting quietly for half an hour without a word.

"Ah!"

Old Sir Feng sighs helplessly; this grandson is giving him a headache. How did his Feng Family end up with such a strange creature? He can’t be told what to do, nor will he listen to reason. Once he decides on something, not even ten bulls could stop him. What a headache. Look, he’s the one who has to speak first in this standoff.

"Xiao Zhi, have you really decided?"

"Grandpa, you know my temperament; this doesn’t need to be asked," Feng Tianzhi replied with a rare show of seriousness.

Old Sir Feng lets out another helpless sigh, then sighs again, "If you really like that girl that much, I can try my utmost to support you in taking her away, okay?"

"No," Feng Tianzhi shakes his head, "If it were someone else, I might do that. But not with her. That would be desecration."

"You..." Old Sir Feng points at him for a long time, then slumps in his chair, "You are the only hope for the Feng Family. Tell me, what are we going to do if you keep this up? What are we going to do about the future of the Feng Family?"

"If Grandpa believes in me, just let me go my own way. You know, with my temperament, it will only make the higher-ups more reassured about the Feng Family. The Ye Family needs a check, Grandpa, you understand this. Why would you doubt everything about me just because I like Little Ye’er?"

"Xiao Zhi, I always thought you wouldn’t fall for any girl. Having feelings is a major taboo in politics, not to mention she is already with someone else. Can you guarantee you won’t do something foolish because of her in the future?"

"I can’t guarantee it," Feng Tianzhi shakes his head, "Maybe, I really will do foolish things for her."

"You... you... you..." Old Sir Feng closes his eyes, "Enough, just go, and call Xiao Xing to come in."

"Yes." Feng Tianzhi respectfully answers and withdraws.
