Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 843: Chapter 509: Everyone’s Schemes

"Just joking?" Yoda Song’s gaze swept over his daughter several times, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his lips, "Hui Zi, do you really think that your father has gone senile?"

"Hui Zi wouldn’t dare, Hui Zi absolutely wouldn’t dare to think that way about Father," Noda Hikari’s voice weakened; earlier, her anger had burned away her rationality, and she resolutely chose to cooperate with Luo Ye. But when she truly met her father’s eyes, fear gripped her heart.

No matter how badly her father treated her, he was still her only family. If she really broke with her father and was expelled from the Yodan Family, what would she do in the future? Why hadn’t she thought carefully at that time? With these thoughts, her eyes showed some blame towards Luo Ye.

After staring at his daughter for a while, Yoda Song snorted, "Now you know fear?" Then he looked at Luo Ye, "Wasn’t it you who instigated my daughter to do all of this?"

Luo Ye’s lips curled up slightly, "Mr. Yodan, you’re overthinking it. Miss Hui Zi has her own ideas, how could I instigate her?"

Yoda Song waved his hand at Luo Ye, "You leave first, I want to be alone with my daughter for a while."

"Okay." Luo Ye didn’t argue, and walked out straightforwardly.

"How was it? Did Old Ye Tian make things difficult for you?"

As soon as Luo Ye exited, Feng Qing and Zhan Hao approached.

"No." Luo Ye shook her head, led the way to a deserted spot, and lowered her voice, "The Old Fox has discovered something amiss with Noda Hikari, forcing her to wake up early."

Feng Qing’s eyes widened instantly, brushing her forehead back and forth, "So Noda Hikari was pretending to be comatose? You’re quite something; you managed to win her over in such a short time. I’m really impressed."

"Luoluo, how did you do it?" Zhan Hao too was full of admiration.

"Don’t look at me like that. If there wasn’t any conflict between them as father and daughter, how could I succeed?" Luo Ye’s lips pursed slightly, "You don’t know how cold-blooded that father is. To cooperate with Qiao Xiaowan’s Grandpa, he deceived her into disfigurement, claiming that the potion would only make one temporarily look disfigured and could fully heal afterward.

In reality, if Noda Hikari used that potion, she would end up like Qiao Xiaowan—in pursuit of business for the family, sacrificed without her daughter’s consent. Plus, with a host of conflicts with his current wife and younger daughter against Noda Hikari, tell me, with these foundations, do I even need to win her over?"

"Ah!" Feng Qing sighed, "Taking it all into account, Noda Hikari really is a pitiful child. I used to think living in a big Chinese family was unhappy. Compared to her, I suddenly feel content. At least, my family won’t deceive me into an irreversible darkness with such despicable means."

Zhan Hao pondered a bit, his brows furrowing: "Luoluo, with things reaching this point, Yoda Song will surely find ways to set you up, you must be careful."

"The captain already knows about my agreement with Noda Hikari, so even if Yoda Song throws dirt, it won’t matter much."

"I hope so." Zhan Hao sighed, "And our big brother isn’t around..."

Luo Ye interrupted him, "Some things, I must face myself. Relying on him for everything will only make most people dissatisfied with me."

Zhan Hao reluctantly nodded, "That’s true, since you chose this profession, you must be prepared to face these things. However, the big brother is just too outstanding, and you, aren’t much behind him, which means trouble keeps coming one after another..."

Luo Ye waved her hand to interrupt, "Alright, we’re just starting, worrying from the start, how will we manage in the future?"

Feng Qing looked at Luo Ye with confusion, "Luoluo, did Noda Hikari achieve that look with makeup?"

Luo Ye shook her head, "No, with the Old Fox’s cunning, how could makeup deceive him? Noda Hikari used the exclusive camouflage agent concocted by Grandpa Feng."

Zhan Hao looked at Luo Ye anxiously, "From what I’ve observed, Noda Hikari immensely dreads Yoda Song. Now, that father and daughter duo went to converse alone in a room, with Yoda Song’s cunning, how could he let this chance pass?"

Luo Ye spread her hands, looking helpless, "From the beginning, I knew this plan was difficult to have a perfect ending. When I presented all the evidence to Noda Hikari, she was so angry that she lost her mind. Added to that, her father was chatting warmly with her sister, deeply provoking her to decide on cooperating with me.

But she is ultimately Yoda Song’s biological daughter. No matter how badly she is treated, he is still her father who raised her. A little warmth could possibly undermine the trust I just established with her."

"You knew this yet you continued?" Feng Qing urgently grabbed Luo Ye’s small hand, "You silly girl, with so many people watching you, why don’t you consider yourself more?

If you had discerned their trick, you should just stop Noda Hikari. Why go through such a scene? Even if makeup wouldn’t deceive Yoda Song, it wouldn’t give him leverage either!"

"It’s okay, even if they falsely accuse me, it doesn’t matter." Luo Ye’s eyes carried a hint of a smile. Indeed, she wants them to seize leverage, wants them to go all out to trap her, but as for who would regret it, that’s not certain!

Feng Qing leaned closer, lowering her voice further, "Tell me, have you already devised a good plan?"

Luo Ye giggled, "Can’t say, can’t say."

Feng Qing pouted, "Fine, don’t say it if you don’t want to. Seeing you like this makes me feel much more at ease."

In the room, Yoda Song stared at Noda Hikari for a long time until she couldn’t hold his gaze and finally spoke, "Hui Zi, are you really planning to abandon your father?"

"Father, I wouldn’t dare," Noda Hikari mumbled, sneaking a glance at her father and hesitating, "Honestly, I don’t hate you at all. Even though I know you favor my mother and sister, I don’t hate you.

But, why did you deceive me into using the Disfigurement Medicine? And blocking my engagement with Miyatazaki wasn’t because I found someone else, but rather because you wanted my sister to marry into a good family, right?"

"Is that how you really feel?" Yoda Song frowned, "Is that what I am in your heart?"

Noda Hikari mustered her courage, "Then can you tell me what exactly is going on with the Disfigurement Medicine?"

Yoda Song was silent for a while, tears glistening in his eyes, "Hui Zi, all these years I’ve neglected you somewhat, but I love you. Do you know how painful it is for me to ask you to do such things?

But as a member of the Yodan Family, we must prioritize the family and preserve and grow the enterprises left by our ancestors. It is the responsibility of the descendants.

To be honest, I hesitated, but the Yodan Family’s ranking domestically has been declining. If we don’t seize opportunities, we will gradually be replaced and eventually go bankrupt. Hui Zi, do you want that to happen?"

"I don’t want that, but father, since childhood, the good things have always been Yazi’s, and the hardships mine. Do you think that’s fair?"

"I have no son; you are the eldest daughter, and you must bear the responsibility of the eldest daughter." Yoda Song sighed heavily, "If you can’t understand me, then everything I’ve done is truly meaningless."

"Father..." Noda Hikari hesitated, "Is what you said true? Have you really decided that I will inherit the Yodan family’s enterprises?"

"Yes." Yoda Song nodded slightly, "Yazi has never suffered and has been too coddled by Mizuki. Even if forced, she couldn’t shoulder this burden.

After much thought, I can only pin my hopes on you. When it came to disfiguring you, I hesitated over and again but still decided to take a gamble.

With today’s medical skills, even if you’re disfigured, you can be restored beautifully. Besides, Hui Zi, your genes haven’t changed, and future generations will certainly not be bad!

A temporary hardship exchanged for a lifetime of sweetness, no matter how this is calculated, it’s worth it. Hui Zi, think carefully and let me know if what I’m doing is right once you’ve figured it out."

...

In the grand study of Moselle Manor, Lian Fengming dialed a number with furrowed brows. Without waiting for the other person to speak, he asked, "How is the progress?"

"Grandpa, there’s no progress yet," Dennis said respectfully. Ever since his inheritance rights were revoked, he’s become more respectful towards Mr. Lian.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings," Lian Fengming scolded and hung up. Dennis listened for a moment, dazed, and then looked at Anida, "He hung up."

"I never thought Grandpa would be so good to Qiao Xiaowan," Anida snorted. "The more this is the case, the more we can’t let her have her way. Otherwise, how can we stand firm in the family in the future?

Besides, what has Aunt done for this family? Other than causing trouble repeatedly, what else has she done? I really don’t get what Grandpa is thinking!"

"He’s mad because Dad tricked him," Dennis raised his eyebrows. "You know how the Chinese taboo the mention of ’death,’ and Dad went against this. How could Grandpa not be angry?"

"But getting angry won’t help with the future development of the family!" Anida grumbled and looked at Dennis, "What should we do next? Just stay stuck here?"

Dennis glanced at the time, "Let’s put it aside for now. Let’s go pick up Monique; he should have arrived."

Anida shrugged, "When facing Allen, he’s not himself. I genuinely admire his self-control. Being so madly in love yet holding back until now to come see her—I really can’t understand."

"He wants both a career and love; what’s so hard to understand?" Dennis said as he walked out. Anida quickly followed, a hint of loss passing through her eyes. Even if she liked such a man, she didn’t dare say it, because once said, they wouldn’t even be friends anymore.

Nu’an’s update for today; I’m really exhausted; let’s just do a First watch for now. I’ll strive for two tomorrow. I don’t dare say much; this year has been truly tiring. Howl! (To be continued.
