Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 31: Chapter 31 Another Wishful Thing

”Tangtang, your analysis makes sense!” Ying Nuo looked at Luo Ye: ”Luoluo, did you really think of all that when you decided to come in and defuse the situation?”

Luo Ye nodded: ”Exactly!”

Tang Luoʼs analysis indeed reflected her concerns. With her current skills, she was no match for the five brothers from the Pan family; the younger generations of the Pan family were famous for sticking together.

They were completely unreasonable, the type to act recklessly and bullishly. In her past life, two boys from the Pan family had been arrested.

A crucial point was that if Pan Fang revealed her business, Pan Yan might be the first to stir trouble and deal with her. It was an unpredictable situation, and by the time she realized and called the police, it would be too late!

Her energies werenʼt meant to be spent dealing with Pan Yan; she planned to avoid conflicts as much as possible early on until her skills were sufficiently honed.

”Luoluo, why do I feel like Iʼve become the dumbest one?” Ying Nuo looked perplexed, wondering why she hadnʼt thought of that?

Tang Luo replied first: ”Youʼre not dumb, youʼre just more naive!”

”Mean Tangtang, youʼre indirectly calling me dumb!” Ying Nuo was visibly displeased.

”Ying Nuo, Tangtang...” Luo Ye hugged both of them: ”Thank you both, really!”

Tangtang playfully punched Luo Ye: ”Why so polite? Didnʼt we agree no more pretense?”

Ying Nuo was still confused: ”I donʼt understand what youʼre talking about, Luoluo, what are you thanking me for? Is it for cooperating with you earlier?”

Luo Ye smiled and lightly pinched Ying Nuoʼs nose: ”Nuonuo, once Iʼm less busy, Iʼll take you somewhere fun and help you design a new look, how about that?”

Ying Nuo nodded: ”Sure, but start with designing yourself first, it would be such a waste of that face of yours!”

”Right? Look, isnʼt it captivating?” Tang Luo smiled and lifted a lock of Luo Yeʼs hair from her forehead: ”I didnʼt even recognize you when I first saw you yesterday!”

”You met Luoluo yesterday? Thatʼs so annoying, you two went out behind my back, Luoluo, you really like the new and dislike the old!”

Remembering Luo Yeʼs advice, Tang Luo knew she misspoke and awkwardly laughed: ”We didnʼt really plan to meet, it was just a coincidence, hehe... just a coincidence, Luoluo, donʼt forget to include me when you change your look!”

”Sure!”

”Hmph!” Ying Nuo turned her head away.

”Sweetie!” Luo Ye chuckled and pinched Ying Nuoʼs nose again.

”My nose wasnʼt very pointy to begin with, and youʼre going to ruin it!” Ying Nuo looked playfully aggrieved, prompting Tang Luo to itch for a pinch too: ”Iʼm going to pinch it too, since itʼs already ruined!”

”Annoying, Iʼll pinch yours!”

”I wonʼt let you!”

”Donʼt run, Luoluo, hurry up!”

”Alright!” Luo Ye laughed and chased after them. The camaraderie with these two friends - one adorably naive and the other vivaciously quirky - made her campus life much more vivid.

...

After dinner on Friday.

Luo Feng was playing chess with Luo Zhenggang, his forehead beaded with bright sweat. This was something his dad forced him to do. Deep down, he wished he could be miles away from his father. It was just a game of chess, but it always led to life lessons, and the more his father lectured, the more mistakes he made.

”Fengʼer, can your brain even turn a corner?” When Luo Zhenggang was frustrated for the umpteenth time, Luo Ye, who was reviewing the materials Wen Xin brought back, couldnʼt help but burst out, ”Dad, if you keep yelling, my brotherʼs chess skills will regress back to kindergarten level!”

”Enough, enough, Iʼm not playing anymore!” Luo Zhenggang pushed the chess board away, ”Playing chess with him just makes me angry!”

”Iʼll study it myself!” Luo Feng, feeling greatly relieved, grabbed the chessboard and hid next to his sister.

Wen Xin carrying freshly squeezed juice came over: ”Mr. Luo, didnʼt you say you would teach Fengʼer patiently? Drink some orange juice to cool off, and try to have a better attitude tomorrow!”

Luo Ye suddenly looked at her dad, ”Dad, does the fresh orange juice taste good?”

Luo Zhenggang frowned slightly, ”Itʼs okay, better than store-bought juice, but if I had to choose, Iʼd rather not drink at all, itʼs just that your mom insists!”

Wen Xin flirtatiously glanced at her husband, ”You have to socialize once or twice a week anyway, the food outside is always unclean, drinking some juice helps cleanse the stomach!”

”Dad is indeed a role model in this aspect!” Luo Ye sincerely complimented her dad, who, as far as she could remember, had never participated in unnecessary socializing, a remarkable feat over the years.

”Just spit it out, what do you want to say, Yeʼer!” Luo Zhenggang was swiftly getting to know his daughter better.

Luo Ye gave a thumbs up, ”Leadership is different, Dad is really smart!”

”Stop beating around the bush, say it!” Luo Zhenggangʼs eyebrows began to twitch.

Luo Ye became serious, ”Hereʼs the thing, the stocks Su Yan bought with embezzled funds have been frozen, Iʼve been observing and think these two stocks might perform well, we could propose to repay Wenxin Garden with the stocks, please parents, allow it!”

Luo Zhenggang shook his head, ”Yeʼer, Dad knows youʼre smart, but the stock market is highly volatile, youʼre still a student, and canʼt watch the market all the time, this is not suitable for you!”

”Dad, Tang Luoʼs Aunt has always been buying stocks, influenced by her, Tang Luo invested his New Yearʼs money as well, and often talks to me about the stock market.

Iʼve gradually become interested, and borrowed some professional books from her Aunt... (omitting lots of explanations) The stock market is good now, but with Dadʼs sensitive position, itʼs not convenient for us to buy large amounts of stocks ourselves. If itʼs just small-scale, I really donʼt have the energy.

Now is the opportunity, the stocks were bought by Su Yan and have been legally vetted, there will be absolutely no adverse impact if we take over.

Dad, you said freshly squeezed juice tastes better than store-bought drinks, but its cost is also many times more expensive, it seems uneconomical, but if we consider the health benefits, wouldnʼt it feel worthwhile?

Stock trading is like freshly squeezed juice, high risk but also high returns, this 2 million investment could become 20 million in a few months.

But for these funds to achieve such high profits in Wenxin Garden, it would take at least three years, and thatʼs my optimistic estimate. Of course, if it loses, it could all disappear, but even then, it wouldnʼt hurt the foundation of Wenxin Garden, so Dad, are you willing to let me take this gamble?”

Luo Zhenggang had been watching his daughter speak confidently, her beautiful face glowing with assurance. Although her juice analogy wasnʼt quite appropriate, it made some sense and fit with her young mindset. After a long moment, he sighed, ”Yeʼer, Dad doesnʼt want you to become solely profit-driven!”

”Iʼm not just chasing profits, I just think that with money, weʼll have the strength to do what we want, and this money, weʼd earn it honestly!” This was the last few months to make big money from stocks, Su Yan gave them this opportunity, she couldnʼt bear to miss it.

Wen Xin, feeling sorry for her daughter, unprincipledly persuaded her husband: ”Zhenggang, agree with the child, if we lose it, letʼs just forget we had that money, okay?”

Luo Ye lowered her head and her lips twitched, her mom was indeed different, daring to let her child play with 2 million, but she liked it!

Luo Zhenggang pondered for a while, finally making up his mind: ”Alright, but if we lose or win, this satisfies you this once, okay?”

”Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom, love you!” Luo Ye dashed over, hugging her parents and planting a kiss on each. ”Youʼve smeared my face with saliva!” Luo Zhenggang spoke in disgust, but his eyes were full of laughter.

Luo Feng, who was studying the chessboard, looked up at his younger sister admiringly, daring to nibble on the tigerʼs face, his sister was mighty indeed!
