Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 878: Chapter 530: Banquet

"You, you, why are you here?" Luo Lian reflexively moved closer to Luo Ye.

A flash of displeasure passed through Monique’s eyes: "Amy, are you afraid of me?"

"I..." Luo Lian lowered her head, mumbling softly, not knowing how to answer. Afraid of him? To be precise, it’s more like not daring to get too close to him, right?

"Since you’re here, let’s sit together." The plan hasn’t been completed, Monique is still a foreign investor leaving a huge investment in Sha City. Even if the other party were lacking in politeness, Wen Song wouldn’t mind too much, giving Director Liu a meaningful glance, "You sit too."

"Secretary..." Director Liu hesitated, not knowing what to say. She didn’t expect Monique to come along; otherwise, she wouldn’t dare bring him here. Now, she regrets it deeply.

"Sit down." Wen Song repeated softly once more.

In the small dining room, there were three tables of guests. Since Director Liu brought Monique over, everyone pricked up their ears. Everyone knew a bit about the secretary’s temperament, and from his tone, it was clear he was displeased with Director Liu. For a moment, the entire dining room fell into silence, with some secretly joyful and others puzzled.

Wen Song said as much, and Director Liu didn’t dare leave. She nervously sat with just half of her backside on the chair.

Due to her position, Wen Song didn’t want to embarrass her too much and softened his tone: "Xiao Liu, no official business, right?"

"No, no, I originally wanted to invite Monique for a meal to thank him for his support of Sha City." Director Liu hurriedly explained.

"Then don’t be too reserved." Wen Song raised his teacup, "Since we can’t drink at noon, I’ll use tea instead of wine to toast everyone, thanking you for your contribution to the development of Sha City."

With the addition of Director Liu and Monique, the family gathering instantly turned into a working meal, and all the conversation became stereotypical.

Halfway through the meal, Luo Ye and Luo Lian excused themselves to the restroom and privately slipped away, finally shaking off Monique for the time being.

It wasn’t until they were seated in the private room of Liangyou Hotel that Luo Lian truly felt calm, looking gratefully at Luo Ye: "Luoluo, luckily you’re here, otherwise I would’ve been in trouble. But leaving like this, will uncle get angry?"

Luo Ye waved her hand: "He won’t. Uncle deliberately let Monique stay for dinner to give us a chance to slip away. Otherwise, if we left, he could follow too. We can’t exactly tie him up, right?"

"That’s good." Luo Lian let out a breath, "Now I’m relieved. After tomorrow, I believe he won’t feel like following me. " Her expression darkened, "Luoluo, please don’t think I’m worthless, knowing he could lose so much. Honestly, I can’t bear it in my heart. After all, he’s always treated me well. Without him, whether I could live till now is uncertain."

"Lian, his devotion to you, I’ve noticed. To be honest, if you want to be with him, I won’t stop you." Luo Ye held her hand and looked at her seriously, "He might be cold and ruthless to anyone else, but he shouldn’t be with you. I’m confident I haven’t misjudged my own judgment."

Luo Lian shook her head with a bitter smile: "I’ve already said, for me to be with him, his sisters and cousins would have to not exist in this world. But is that possible?"

"Alright, think about it. If you remove those factors, how much do you like him? I want you to tell me the truth, without any concealment."

Luo Lian contemplated for a while: "To say I like him, it’s more like gratitude. Yes, that’s it. To me, without him, it’s not a big deal. With him, it’s just the same. It only shows I haven’t met the one I truly love yet, right?"

Luo Ye comfortingly patted her: "Good. Since that’s the case, I’m relieved. I don’t want Lian to regret anything in the future. As long as he doesn’t do anything too outrageous, we absolutely won’t deal with him harshly. As for Lisha and Alice, if they dare to have any evil thoughts, they can’t blame us for being ruthless."

Qu Yue happened to enter just in time to hear Luo Ye’s last words, so he snorted heavily: "Luoluo, tell me, who provoked you? I’ll avenge you right away, and I’ll make them regret ever coming into this world."

Luo Ye looked at him with a grin: "Young Master, no one provoked me. I was talking about the two sisters from Lian’s adoptive family. You sure got here quickly; it only took about ten minutes."

Qu Yue smugly raised his brows: "Of course, it’s necessary. If Luoluo’s here, how can I not be quick?"

Luo Lian blinked her eyes: "Sounds like I’m a bit redundant here?"
