Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 871: Chapter 525: Perplexity (Part 2)

The sound of footsteps grew closer and finally stopped at the doorway. The door opened, and Luo Ye walked in with a calm expression. She glanced at everyone briefly before sitting by her bed without any change in her demeanor.

Yao Ziping quietly lifted her eyes to glance at her, her lips moved slightly but no sound came out.

"Luo Ye." Fan Rui hesitated for a moment and then walked to Luo Ye’s side.

"What’s the matter?" Luo Ye looked at her indifferently.

Fan Rui’s expression turned resolute: "I’d like to ask you for a favor. Could you forgive Yao Ziping?"

Luo Ye let out a small ’oh’, a trace of a smile appearing at the corner of her lips: "Why do you have to speak for her?"

"Ziping is very timid, so I must help her." Fan Rui hesitated, then continued, "If you need an explanation, then put her mistake on me."

"Fan Fan!" Yao Ziping called out emotionally, at a loss for words.

Luo Ye looked at Fan Rui seriously: "Tell me why you would do this."

"My mother passed away early, and it was my father and brother who raised me. But after all, they are men, coarse-hearted and couldn’t take care of me properly. So, from a young age, I envied others who had a mother’s love.

I won’t have that chance in this lifetime, but Ziping still does. Her mother is in poor health, and if she knew Ziping committed another mistake and couldn’t get out, who knows what might happen from excessive disappointment.

I truly don’t want Ziping to end up like me, so I’m willing to take the blame for her. You might doubt what I’m saying, but this is the most genuine reason."

Luo Ye stared at her for a while, then the corners of her lips curved into a charming smile: "I believe you, Fan Rui, you’ve really caught my attention with this. But, I never intended to hold Yao Ziping responsible; otherwise, her kick wouldn’t have landed on me at all."

Fan Rui let out a sigh of relief: "Thank you, I believe in your words."

"Thank you, thank you Fan Fan, thank you Luo Ye, thank you so much." Yao Ziping said, and then "thud" knelt on the ground.

Luo Ye’s expression turned serious: "Yao Ziping, get up!"

Yao Ziping trembled slightly, casting a cautious glance at Fan Rui.

Fan Rui glared at her: "Get up, I just talked to you about this, why are you doing it again?"

"Yes." Yao Ziping answered softly, stood up, and twisted the corners of her clothes, unsure of what to do.

"Oh!" Fan Rui sighed, looked at Luo Ye, "That’s just her personality, she can’t change it quickly, don’t be angry with her."

"I’m not angry with her." Luo Ye stood up, walked to Yao Ziping’s side, and stared at her, "If you want your mother to live better and happier, the first thing you must do is overcome your low self-esteem. With this attitude, who would dare to entrust you with a significant task, isn’t that right?"

"Right!" Yao Ziping nodded without hesitation.

Luo Ye didn’t look amused: "Right what? Looking at your expression, you clearly haven’t thought through my words. Think it over thoroughly, understand it, don’t just agree to whatever I say."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Yao Ziping nodded repeatedly.

Luo Ye looked at her speechlessly: "Alright, you don’t have to worry. I won’t talk about your matter anymore, besides, your previous actions can be understood."

"Thank you!" Yao Ziping’s eyes turned sincere, "Thank you very much, by the way, does the kick still hurt?"

"Hasn’t it been long enough for it to still hurt?" Luo Ye glanced at her, "Do you think your foot is magical, that one kick could make me hurt for days?"

"Miss Luo..."

"Miss Luo..."

"..."

The others also gathered around, looking at Luo Ye with a face full of anticipation.

Luo Ye glanced quickly at everyone, sat back on her bed without acknowledging them. They were different from Yao Ziping, if Yao Ziping was forced, they were willing participants, and this is a fundamentally different nature.

Several people exchanged looks, not daring to act rashly. They were hesitating when an urgent sound of footsteps came from the doorway. The door opened and Prison Director Li came in hurriedly, followed by prison guard Xiao Wang.

Prison Director Li smiled excitedly: "Major Luo, the chief has given the order. Your task is completed, you can leave now. It’s been tough on you. Xiao Wang, quickly help Major Luo pack up."

"Major Luo?" Everyone’s eyes widened instantly, looking at Luo Ye. She’s a Major? Was she here on a mission? So, what she said earlier was true, she didn’t actually commit any wrongdoing?

Prison Director Li nodded: "Yes, Luo Ye’s rank is Major, she came here to carry out a mission, it’s different from you."

Xiao Wang stood by Luo Ye’s bed, flustered and unsure what to do, while the corners of Luo Ye’s lips curved into a smile: "I’ve only been here a couple of days, there’s nothing much to pack up, let’s go."

Once the group left, excluding Fan Rui, the others looked at Yao Ziping with jealousy. It turned out Major Luo was here to carry out a mission, and aside from Yao Ziping and Fan Rui, everyone else suffered, all executed...

Yao Ziping felt uneasy, looking at Fan Rui with trepidation: "Fan Fan, you think Major Luo will keep her word?"

Fan Rui smiled and patted her: "She will, she’s not the type to make empty promises." After saying this, Fan Rui also felt relaxed, people sometimes understand things in an instant.

Just before Luo Ye came, she and Qiao Xiaowan were plotting on how to make Luo Ye live uncomfortably after getting out.

But in just a few short days, she suddenly understood thoroughly, no matter what, she and Luo Ye were not on the same level. Continuing to struggle and fight would only harm others and herself, so she might as well live happily. Life is just a few decades, why put oneself at odds?
