Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1594 - 923

When Luo Ye asked me what I thought about Liang Linqing, Li Xiaoyan’s lips curled into a bitter smile: ”How could I have any thoughts about him?”

Back then, when I left my hometown and came to Sha City alone, I felt incredibly lonely. Receiving letters from Wen Jie became the thing I looked forward to the most.

Worried about affecting her studies, my replies were filled with memories of good times from the past. I never dared to talk about the hardships and novelties outside, just didn’t want to affect her mood.

When she married into the Liang family, Xiao Xian told me that Wen Jie’s parents probably decided on the Liang family’s conditions when they cut off communication between us, and she suspected Wen Jie was aware of it too.

I even reprimanded Xiao Xian for that, saying Wen Jie wasn’t like that. Now it seems so laughable. I am angry not because Wen Jie married into the Liang family, but because she betrayed our friendship.

Now she’s even assisting Liang Linqing, thinking of ways to have me marry into the Liang family. Is there anything more laughable than that? Chairman Luo, even if I had a shred of feeling for Liang Linqing, I wouldn’t marry him! Do I have to marry into the Liang family to get married?”

”Alright, I understand what you mean, but I still want to remind you to let go of your anger for now and think carefully about Liang Linqing’s actions. Wouldn’t you be a bit moved?”

In fact, if you married Liang Linqing, many people would envy you, especially knowing that the source of Liang Linqing’s efforts is the desire to marry you.”

”I understand, Chairman Luo. If I accepted Liang Linqing, not only would the villagers not look down on me, but they’d say that the Wen family schemed and ultimately, I married the most accomplished son of the Liang family.

I also know that Wen Jie assisting Liang Linqing was never told to Uncle Wen or Aunt Wen; otherwise, they would never allow such a thing to happen.

But even so, I won’t take the bait, because with Wen Jie in the picture, I can’t look at Liang Linqing with an open heart, never mind seriously get to know him.

Maybe, he isn’t a bad person. Maybe, he genuinely cares for me. But unfortunately, with Wen Jie as a precondition, none of his actions will move me.

Moreover, back then, the Liang family had once considered proposing to my family. Although I had never seen Liang Linsheng before, I couldn’t say whether I liked him or not.

Even then, I couldn’t interact with him as if nothing happened, and judging by his demeanor, it seems he couldn’t either.”

Li Xiaoyan spoke very clearly, so Luo Ye stated his plan: ”I understand your point.

Earlier, I was worried that if I blocked this path with the Liang family, you might regret it in the future, so I asked so many questions.

Since you’ve truly thought it through, why not do this: Let President Qu accompany you tomorrow morning to your place and send Teacher Wang and others back.

The delay in Teacher Wang and others’ schedule, although not intentional, was indeed because of your reasons, and if this spreads in your area, it won’t be good for your reputation.

However, I don’t really agree with having President Qu pretend to be a boyfriend; a lie requires ten more lies to uphold, and when it’s uncovered, your parents might be even more disappointed.

So, why not have President Qu accompany you back, and you should try to work things out with your parents. If it doesn’t go well, share a bit about the Liang family and Wen family’s matters with them.

As parents, they care for their children, and even if they push you, their main wish is for you to be happy, right?”

”Thank you, Chairman Luo.”

Although Luo Ye didn’t explicitly say it, Li Xiaoyan understood that the real reason she wanted Qu Yue to accompany her back was that, in the eyes of outsiders, she would appear to be returning home in glory.

Even if she told her parents the truth, they would still say so outwardly. Rumors would certainly be less harsh than before.

This would give her some buffer time. When fate arrives, it’s an uncertain matter; perhaps in a few days, she’ll truly meet someone destined for her.

Then, once she takes her boyfriend home and settles the engagement, outsiders would believe her parents’ original words, and her parents would feel at ease.

”Why thank me? In China, parents are all like this. When kids are young, they push and forbid dating. When kids grow a bit older, they rush to make them date, as if delaying slightly would mean all good boys and girls in the world would be gone.
