Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 750: Chapter 451: Misunderstandings and Regrets (Part 3)

Liu Feng rolled her eyes, lowered her voice, "Pingping, it’s not that I’m judging you, but our job here is definitely not inferior to anyone else’s. How could you do something like this?"

If you ask me, you should dress yourself up beautifully and catch a rich husband. That’s better than anything else."

"No need." Luo Ping shook her head, "I just want to find a guy who truly cares for me, whom I also like." As she said this, a handsome face popped into her mind, and she quickly shook her head and patted herself twice.

Liu Feng’s eyes widened immediately, "You’re not still thinking about that scumbag, are you?"

Luo Ping hastily shook her head, "Of course not, you know very well that the last few times he came by, I ignored him."

Liu Feng’s eyes rolled, "Then that means there’s someone new you’re interested in?"

"What are you saying?" Luo Ping’s cheeks turned red involuntarily, "Alright, alright, after work, I’ll go shopping for clothes with you so you won’t keep guessing wildly."

"You said it, don’t ditch me after work." Liu Feng happily returned to her seat, took out a makeup kit, and started touching up.

Luo Ping, however, was in a daze, the vague shadow lingered in her mind, refusing to leave...

...

Liu Feng clung to Luo Ping’s arm, excitedly listing out all the things she wanted to buy, while Luo Ping listened absentmindedly. She looked up and saw a figure pacing back and forth outside the door, her body instinctively tensed.

"What’s wrong?" Liu Feng was puzzled by Luo Ping’s sudden unease.

"It’s nothing." Luo Ping gave Liu Feng an apologetic look, "I just remembered a document I forgot. If I don’t finish it tonight, tomorrow will definitely be screwed up..."

Liu Feng interrupted her, "You mean you can’t come shopping with me? How annoying, how could you leave me hanging?"

"I truly apologize. I just remembered, how about I accompany you tomorrow, okay?"

"Fine." Liu Feng relented, pouting, "My boyfriend invited me over, but I declined for this. You’re so troublesome."

Luo Ping playfully nudged her, "You can surprise him by going over now."

"You’re just making excuses. What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so unwell?" Liu Feng looked at Luo Ping, confused by her sudden change of expression.

"Hello, Aunt Li." Luo Ping awkwardly greeted Li Yushan, who had approached.

Li Yushan gratefully took her hand, "Xiao Ping, I’d like to treat you to a meal, is that okay?"

"Pingping, who is she?" Liu Feng asked Luo Ping in confusion.

"Aunt Li is Qi Dong’s mother." Luo Ping explained briefly.

"That scumbag is your son?" Liu Feng exclaimed, her eyes widening. "Why are you still pestering Pingping? Your son did enough damage already. I saw firsthand how Pingping treated him, but what about what he did? Pingping, you didn’t forget the document. You just don’t want to see this woman, right?"

"Liu Feng." Luo Ping tugged at her, awkwardly smiling at Li Yushan’s grim face, "Auntie, my friend speaks her mind, she doesn’t mean any harm."

"Sis-in-law, what are you doing here?"

The speaker was a middle-aged man around forty-seven or eight, of medium build and slightly swollen complexion, the immediate superior to Luo Ping and Liu Feng, Director Wang.

Li Yushan quickly put on a smile, "Hello, Director Wang. I’m here to find Xiao Ping; she’s the future daughter-in-law of our family."

"But you broke up, didn’t you?" Director Wang blurted out, then sheepishly smiled, "Sis-in-law, my manners really need work, don’t take it to heart."

Li Yushan hurriedly said, "It’s nothing, it’s nothing, they’re just kids playing around, breaking up and making up isn’t serious."

Liu Feng glanced at Luo Ping, her expression cooled. She was a straightforward girl and disliked girls who couldn’t let go even after being deceived in a relationship.

Luo Ping hesitated for a moment and looked seriously at Li Yushan, "Auntie, Qi Dong and I are already broken up, I’m not your future daughter-in-law."

"Xiao Ping, Dongdong already realizes his mistake, can you give him another chance, please?" Li Yushan awkwardly smiled at Director Wang, "The kids have a conflict, and as the elder, I’m concerned."

"Auntie, to reiterate, Qi Dong and I have no relationship left, please don’t..."

Director Wang frowned, cutting her off, "Luo Ping, how can you be so disrespectful to an elder? No matter what conflicts the young couple has, you can’t take it out on the elders.

Given the Qi family’s status, it’s your fortune for them to take notice of you. Sometimes, people need to recognize their position. You behave well at work, why aren’t you sensible in your relationships?"

"Director Wang, don’t reprimand Xiao Ping, it’s Xiao Dong who is wrong, no wonder Xiao Ping is angry." Li Yushan sighed, "As his mother, it’s tough too. Seeing my son moping around at home makes me upset.

Xiao Ping, you and Dongdong have been together for so many years, such deep feelings. Seeing him become like a wreck, don’t you feel anything?

Consider it as a favor to me, give Dongdong another chance. He knows where he went wrong and will treat you well from now on."

"Luo Ping, you should know when to act sensibly." Director Wang earnestly looked at Li Yushan, "Sis-in-law, how is Mr. Qi lately? Haven’t seen him in ages; I miss him."

Li Yushan nodded, "He’s doing well, I’ll let him know when I get back, maybe you can all get together soon."

"Good, good. That sounds great." Director Wang shot a glance at Luo Ping, "Xiao Luo!"

Liu Feng couldn’t stand it anymore and stepped forward, "Director Wang, aren’t you overstepping a bit? This is Luo Ping’s personal matter; why are you interfering?"

"Xiao Liu, isn’t there a saying that it’s better to encourage a reunion than a breakup? You have a good relationship with Xiao Luo, and you surely want her to have a good match, right?" Liu Feng’s father ranks higher than Director Wang, so he didn’t dare to treat her like he did Luo Ping.

"Good match?" Liu Feng sneered, "Are you sure that’s a good match?"

Director Wang frowned, his lips moved slightly, but he managed to suppress his anger.

Luo Ping politely nodded at Li Yushan and Director Wang, "Aunt Li, Director Wang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going."

Before Li Yushan had a chance to speak, Director Wang, frustrated by being pushed by Liu Feng, snapped, "Xiao Luo, how can you be so ungrateful? Mrs. Qi has said so much, and yet you still make a fuss?"

"Director Wang, I don’t quite understand, what does my marriage have so much to do with you?" Luo Ping’s demeanor turned cold; not exposing her uncle’s identity didn’t mean she was a complete pushover. She had her boundaries and principles, okay?

"Your marriage has nothing to do with me, but your job does. Starting tomorrow, you’ll be cleaning, especially the toilets..."

"No need, no need..." Li Yushan hurriedly interrupted Director Wang, "Don’t punish her; she’s done nothing wrong. It’s our family that’s wronged her."

"Sis-in-law..." Director Wang looked at Li Yushan with confusion. His wife worked under her husband, so he was only currying favor.

By rights, given her personality, she should seize this opportunity to give Luo Ping a hard time, but why the sudden change?

Could it be the Qi family truly valued Luo Ping? Based on his understanding of the Qi family members, it didn’t seem likely, then... there’s only one possibility left, they value Luo Ping’s background, but he had checked, Luo Ping’s parents were farmers, without much background, right?
