Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 110: Chapters 84-85 The Origin of Resentment/Matchmaking_4

But for the other party, threatening her was effortless; she understood something better now. There were no pies falling from the sky for free. All those big deals, those large commissions, were nothing but baits to test her.

And even knowing it was bait, she willingly swallowed it. Swallow it, and she still had a chance to get close to the one she wanted to approach. Not to swallow, she could only slink away from this city. The other party didn’t have to say it; she understood. After telling you a secret, would they still let you safely refuse and stay there?

But from now on, she would no longer have a love of her own free will. What she had to do might be something that betrayed the very word ”love”!

Tiny scraps fluttered down like snowflakes into the sparkling sea, drifting farther away, just like her originally kind heart, slowly drifting away!

...

When Luo Ye brought Ying Nuo home, Wen Xin was feeding Song Qiu porridge. Ying Nuo eagerly leaned in, ”Auntie, hello, I’m Ying Nuo. I make most of the calls to Luoluo, and you answer them.”

Wen Xin politely stood up to greet her: ”Nuonuo, hello, thank you for taking care of Ye’er; she often mentions you to us.”

”Auntie, you’re too kind. Luoluo has also helped me a lot. We help each other, hehe... mutually...”

Luo Ye noticed that despite Mom showing a smiling face, it was hard to hide a trace of sorrow in her eyes. He inwardly sighed; once a wound is reopened, it probably takes a while to heal completely.

”Auntie, this little dog is so beautiful. I’m in love! Is it a little male dog or a little female dog?” Ying Nuo curiously sized up the white ball drinking porridge with messy gulps.

”A little female dog,” Wen Xin smiled and said: ”Ye’er, you accompany Nuonuo. I’ll go juice some fruit for you guys.”

Ying Nuo’s face turned red with urgency, ”Auntie, please, please don’t trouble yourself. If my mom finds out, she’d kill me.”

Luo Ye teased with a laugh, ”Wouldn’t she kill you to save on food anyway?”

”Waste! Waste! Waste!” Honghong shouted hysterically from inside the cage.

A parrot in the cage, a little dog on the floor, and Luo Ye holding a Little Seagull in his arms, Ying Nuo was startled: ”Lu... Luoluo, your family...” Then, realizing Wen Xin was there, she stopped herself.

”You mean to say my home has become a zoo?” Luo Ye finished her thought.

”That’s not what I meant, hehe...”

”Nuonuo, don’t be constrained with auntie here. How about this, after juicing the fruit, auntie will go back to her room, so you feel more at ease,” Wen Xin suggested as she headed to the kitchen.

Ying Nuo’s face turned even redder, looking at Luo Ye in confusion: ”Luoluo, I... I didn’t mean that, what should I do? Auntie won’t be angry, will she?”

”What’s there to fear even if she gets angry? She’s not your mother-in-law.”

”Luoluo, if you continue like this and she really gets upset, I mean it, I’m serious, I’m not joking,” Ying Nuo’s eyes brimmed with tears; she and Luo Ye could be free and easy with each other, but she was truly nervous around Wen Xin, who was the Mayor’s wife.

”It’s alright, no worries, look at you lacking any grit.” Luo Ye pulled Ying Nuo to sit down on the sofa, wiped Little Songqiu’s mouth, placed it in Ying Nuo’s arms: ”There, I am painfully letting go, handing my treasure over for you to hold. Little Songqiu, quickly entertain your Sister Nuo with a smile.”

”Pfft!”

”Seems like Song Qiu’s charm is unbeatable, that’s a real laugh!”

”Stop it!”

”...”

Wen Xin watched from the kitchen as the two teased and played, laughing together. Her vision gradually blurred as images of her sister and their time together came to mind. Back then, her sister would often frolic with her just like this.

”Mom...” When Luo Ye saw Mom enter the kitchen and not come out for a while, she felt something was off. She came in to find Mom staring at the juicer, tears streaming down her face.

After a bit of contemplation, she understood what Mom was thinking about and gently held Wen Xin’s arm: ”Mom, what’s done is done, thinking about it now won’t do any good. Actually, there’s something I really don’t understand. Although I never lived with the Yin Family, I think that such a big family should provide a well-rounded education for the children. Mom and Auntie...”

Her daughter didn’t finish her thought, but Wen Xin could guess: ”Immature, right?”

”Hehe...” Luo Ye laughed embarrassingly: ”Nuonuo is so fascinated by Little Songqiu, she won’t be coming over. Mom, you can just give me a simple explanation.”

”The Wen Family’s men are thriving, and there were only two girls, me and your auntie. Since we were little, we were doted on and protected by our brothers, and due to the social environment at the time, Grandpa didn’t have us sisters learn much else. Anyway, it’s a combination of reasons. If it weren’t for meeting your dad, I don’t know what I’d be like.” Wen Xin dabbed away her tears: ”Ye’er, thinking about it now, if you hadn’t realized it yourself, your dad and I might have actually ruined you and your brother.”

”Mom, you can’t say that. Let’s talk about this some other time, lest Nuonuo thinks we’re unhappy about her visiting.” Luo Ye leaned in mysteriously close to Mom: ”Mom, how about having Nuonuo as your daughter-in-law?”

Wen Xin smiled: ”That’s something your brother has to agree to, Mom has no objections.”

”Grandpa and brother should be back soon, right? I brought Nuonuo here to create more opportunities for her and brother. Hehe, thinking he could escape my palm so easily!”

Wen Xin looked up just in time to see Grandpa Luo and Luo Feng enter through the door, and quickly nudged her daughter: ”They’re back, quickly bring out the juice, don’t make Nuonuo uncomfortable.”

Luo Ye hurried to meet them and grabbed Grandpa Luo’s arm: ”Grandpa, this is Ying Nuo, my best friend. She came specially to see you.”

Ying Nuo, who had already stood up, had a slight facial twitch and hurriedly smiled and approached: ”Grandpa, hello, I’m Shangguan Ying Nuo. Your sun-dried sweet potato strips are really tasty.”

Luo Ye, while pushing the smiling Luo Feng who was standing by, said: ”Brother, what are you dawdling for? Hurry and wash up, change your clothes, and come out to keep Nuonuo company.”

Luo Feng, fully aware of his sister’s intentions, shook his head helplessly, greeted Ying Nuo, and went to his room to get cleaned up.

”Nuonuo, I’m going to wash my hands and change my clothes too, I’m covered in dirt, it’s rather filthy.”

Luo Ye quickly handed over a glass of watermelon juice: ”Grandpa, have some juice first, you must be thirsty, right?”

”Luoluo, you big rascal, how many times have I told you, and still, you do this, it makes others feel so embarrassed!” After Grandpa Luo entered his room, an annoyed Ying Nuo playfully hit Luo Ye. Wasn’t this girl’s matchmaking just too obvious?
