Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 461: Chapter 275: Astonished

”Qingzhu, it’s been over two months since I last saw you. You’ve lost quite a bit of weight and seem a bit worn out. I’ll write you a prescription for recuperation later; you should be able to recover quickly.”

Dr. Zhong nodded to everyone as he entered and then eagerly inspected Ye Qingzhu, making her blush to her ears and glare discontentedly at Luo Ye.

”Um, Dr. Zhong, is this a common problem for doctors?” Luo Ye joked, trying to smooth things over while feeling internally troubled. How could she have forgotten that Dr. Zhong, having studied abroad, was not known for subtlety?

”Sorry! Sorry! I really let my professional habit show.” Dr. Zhong quickly realized his too obvious behavior and apologized repeatedly.

”Everyone go out and have fun. It’s rare to have a holiday; don’t waste it on me,” Captain Xiang said with a smile as he dismissed the guests.

Dr. Zhong took a careful look at Xiang Mingliang’s complexion, then stepped forward and held his wrist to check for a while: ”Captain Xiang needs good rest. Everyone, let’s leave.”

”Captain Xiang, take care of yourself. We’ll be waiting for you to return.”

”Yes, we’re looking forward to seeing you healthy and back at school soon!”

”...”

Everyone bade farewell in a flurry, and Liu Li quickly gathered the gifts brought by several people: ”Take these back. We’re just students; how can we afford such expensive things?”

”Mother, please don’t be polite with us.” Xing Nong pointed at Wu Zetian: ”The gifts represent everyone’s intentions, and the money was provided by this generous guy. Captain Xiang should know his family’s situation.”

”Let’s make an exception this time.” Captain Xiang smiled at his wife: ”Accept these things from the kids.”

Wu Zetian laughed happily: ”That’s the Captain Xiang we love. Brothers and sisters, since the captain is sending us out to have fun, it wouldn’t be right to disobey, right?

As a local, I have a suggestion. Let’s go visit Wen Mansion. Although we can’t go inside, we can see part of the backyard from the mountain. It’s absolutely ancient and charming. Any objections?”

”What’s with those faces?” Seeing everyone looking at him oddly and silent, thinking they didn’t believe him, he turned to Captain Xiang for support: ”Captain, you can vouch for me, right?”

Xiang Mingliang nodded in agreement: ”Xiao Wu is right. That place is indeed a major attraction in Sha City and worth a visit.”

Luo Ye hesitated for a moment, seeking everyone’s opinion: ”Do you all want to go there?”

Wu Zetian eagerly responded: ”I do. Ordinary parks, amusement parks, shopping malls—given everyone’s background—I guess those aren’t too appealing. That place is somewhat interesting. Opportunities to relax together are rare. Let’s go, shall we?”

”Wait for me a moment; I’ll chat a bit more with Captain Xiang and his wife.” Luo Ye got Ye Qingzhu’s phone number and left the hospital room, and Dr. Zhong hurriedly followed.

”Lu Lu! Lu Lu!” Xing Nong shouted as he chased after them.

Wu Zetian looked puzzled at the others: ”What’s happening? Did I say something wrong?”

Zhan Hao slapped him on the back: ”Not wrong, just a bit too talkative.”

”Well...”

Yaoguang interrupted him: ”Stop it already, you’ll find out soon enough.”

Wu Zetian looked around, confused, then around again: ”Why does everyone seem so secretive? Why do I feel like I’m the only one out of the loop?”

”That’s correct.” Yaoguang glanced at him: ”Just be calm for a while. You’re the only one babbling on and on.”

”Okay, I’ll shut up.” Wu Zetian mimed zipping his mouth and made a funny face at Little Mi, making the little girl giggle.

”Alright, let’s go,” Luo Ye came in and called.

Yaoguang tugged at her clothes, nodding towards Little Mi’s location. Luo Ye looked over to see the little girl reluctantly watching everyone, then crouched down and pinched her chubby cheeks: ”Little Mi, do you want to go play with your brothers and sisters?”

Little Mi’s eyes brightened, glanced at her dad on the bed, and shook her head: ”Thanks, Sister, I need to stay with mom to take care of Dad. I can’t go play.”

”Captain, Sister-in-law, let Little Mi come with us. We’ll be responsible for bringing her back, okay?” Luo Ye asked.

Liu Li felt sad her daughter had been stuck in the hospital these days but was hesitant to agree outright, not being familiar with the students, so she looked expectantly at her husband.

”Little Mi, tell Dad the truth. Do you want to go out and play with your brothers and sisters?” Xiang Mingliang asked.

Little Mi’s eyes filled with joy: ”Dad, do you agree I can go?”

”Go ahead, but be good.”

”Yes!” The little girl rushed to the bedside, passionately giving her mom and dad a kiss on the cheeks, then returned to Luo Ye’s side, holding her hand and smiling sweetly: ”Sister.”

”That’s a messy way to address someone.” Ye Qingzhu smiled and waved her hands: ”Captain, Sister-in-law, we’re leaving.”

”Captain, Sister-in-law, goodbye!”

”...”

Stepping out, Ye Qingzhu looked around, a hint of disappointment crossing her face. Luo Ye playfully nudged her: ”Sister Qingzhu, what are you looking for?”

”Go!” Ye Qingzhu poked her forehead and lowered her voice: ”Remember, leave before three o’clock and join me to see Brother.”

Luo Ye blushed and responded in a low voice: ”Okay.”

”I’ve taken the leave already.” Dressed, Dr. Zhong hurried over.

...

The taxi stopped 500 meters away from the Wen Mansion, as it automatically halted, Luo Ye turned to the driver: ”Master, drive in please.”

”Young lady, I can’t do that. This is a private residence with strict rules; we can only stop here, not to mention driving in,” the driver refused.

”It’s my relatives’ place, just drive in.”

No choice, wanting to spend more time with Grandma and Grandpa and also to meet her sweetheart, she was pressed for time.

The driver, half-doubtful, slowly moved forward.

”What’s going on?” Wu Zetian, shocked in the back of the taxi, poked his head out and shouted: ”Stop the car ahead! Stop the car ahead!”

”Follow them,” Xing Nong instructed the driver, Luo Ye had already arranged for Xing Nong, Wu Zetian, Liu Xing, and Zhan Hao to be in one car.

”Is this okay?” the driver asked reluctantly.

”What’s not okay?” Xing Nong pointed ahead: ”Look, that car has already gone in.”

”Alright!” The driver excitedly responded and pushed the gas pedal, speeding ahead.

”This... this...” Wu Zetian, not dumb, watched everyone confusedly: ”What’s the reason? Can’t you guys give a heads up? If the homeowner doesn’t agree, no matter who it is, they are not allowed in.”

Zhan Hao leaned close to his ear and whispered something, leaving Wu Zetian’s mouth agape for a while.

”Jeez, gone silly...” Xing Nong pointed at him: ”Snap out of it quickly, don’t embarrass our Luoluo.”

After the cars stopped, both taxi drivers, strictly, refused the fare, excitedly driving off with shaking legs.

”Sister Ye’er!” Little Pumpkin was the first to rush out, followed by Lu Lu.

”Are none of the brothers and sisters here?” Luo Ye looked back, puzzled.

Wen Nan warmly linked arms with Luo Ye: ”Eldest brother, second brother and sister are organizing an event at school, little uncle is accompanying Eldest Aunt back to her mother’s house, only Grandma, Grandpa, me, little uncle, and Little Aunt are here.” He then greeted everyone: ”Hello brothers and sisters, welcome to my house. After Sister Ye’er called, Grandma asked Nanny Zhang and Nanny Li to prepare something delicious for you.”

Wu Zetian smiled and patted Little Pumpkin’s head: ”Little guy, you’re really cute!”

”I’m not much younger than you guys, how can you call me little guy? Plus, I clearly look handsome, not just cute,” Wen Nan protested.

Luo Ye introduced with a smile: ”This is my cousin Wen Nan, you all can call him Little Pumpkin.”

”Easy, easy, why do you start touching as soon as you see me?” Lu Lu complained, as everyone looked over, Xing Nong was busy squeezing someone’s cheeks.

”Wow, another little sister, so cute, come, let brother give you a hug.” Wen Nan ducked his head only to discover a delicately carved little girl behind Luo Ye, excitedly attempting to pounce on her.

Little Mi blinked her big eyes: ”Brother Little Pumpkin, I’m already seven years old, mom said not to let boys hug me casually!”

”Ha ha ha...”

”What’s so funny?” Wen Tong came out, smiling and greeting everyone: ”Welcome everyone, I as an elder didn’t want to meddle, but Old Mrs. Wen was anxious, so come in, everyone.”

”Grandma, I missed you so much.” Luo Ye rushed in and hugged Old Mrs. Wen, rubbing her head against her.

”You naughty girl, you missed Grandma and only come in now?” Old Mrs. Wen touched her granddaughter’s cheek: ”Ye’er, haven’t they been feeding you? Look how thin your face is, I can’t even feel any flesh.”

”Grandma, that’s an exaggeration.” Luo Ye straightened and introduced everyone to Grandma, who warmly invited everyone to sit and served heaps of refreshments. Holding Little Mi’s hand, she looked fondly at her yet sighed: ”When Ye’er was this big, I never saw her.”

Seeing Grandma’s eyes become red, Luo Ye swiftly pointed to the study: ”Is Grandpa busy?”

”That old man is needlessly worrying, let’s not bother him.”

Recalling that her little uncle had called her in, Luo Ye was puzzled, but thinking it might be boring to just sit, she instructed Little Pumpkin to take everyone for a tour while she planned to join them later.

Helpless Little Mi clutched her sleeve unwilling to let go, Ye Qingzhu laughed and lifted the little girl: ”Little thing, you see Sister Ye’er and forget about Auntie Zhuzi?”

The little girl seemed spaced out as she entered the yard, timidly wrapping her arms around Ye Qingzhu’s neck: ”It’s okay for Auntie Zhuzi to hold.”

”Haha...” Everyone couldn’t help but laugh again, it seems she was still mindful of not letting Little Pumpkin hug her.

After the group left, Luo Ye puzzledly asked: ”Grandma, where is Little Aunt? Little Pumpkin said she was also here.”
