Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 713: Chapter 423: Agreement/Panic

Mr. Su pondered for a while, then raising his head: ”Miss Luo, to tell the truth, after our son told us his choice, we did look into Miss Sang. Initially, we were very satisfied with our prospective daughter-in-law.

Be it in appearance or career, Miss Sang is top-notch talent, more than a good match for Xiao Can. However, before we could even feel happy, rumors about Miss Sang began to spread.

The case involving Liu Zhengxing and his son had significant influence in Island City, and as a family like ours, we truly can’t withstand that kind of pressure.

Xiao Can, having studied abroad and being kind-hearted by nature, didn’t mind it, but for us, it’s hard to get over our internal struggle. Even if we were to live in poverty or face hardship, we couldn’t walk down that path, don’t you agree?”

Mrs. Su continued, ”Seeing Xiao Can upset, I felt even worse than him. But thinking about the psychological pressure he would have to bear if we agreed, I decided to be firm and stop him. I believe that sooner or later, he will understand.”

”Uncle Su, Auntie, you’ve misunderstood Qingqing,” Luo Ye let out a sigh, ”Qingqing’s journey to today isn’t for personal enjoyment, but to seek justice for her parents. When she was ten years old...”

By the time Luo Ye finished speaking, tears were streaming down Mrs. Su’s face, and Mr. Su also looked solemn. After a long moment, he murmured, ”This child, I never expected her to have such depth of character. No wonder Xiao Can can’t let go...” He then turned to his wife, ”Yue’e, our daughter-in-law will be Qingqing from now on. If anyone dares to gossip in the future, just ignore them. This child deserves to be cherished. From now on, let’s cherish her together.”

Mrs. Su wiped the tears from her face and nodded vigorously, ”Yu Zheng, I’ll listen to you. If I were to block them now, it would be doing a great wrong.”

Luo Ye stood up and deeply bowed to the both of them, ”With Uncle and Auntie being such kind people, I believe Qingqing will be happy marrying Brother Su. Thank you for your openness.”

”You child, why so formal?” Mrs. Su stood up and hugged Luo Ye, ”Just don’t blame the Auntie for being foolish before, for so easily believing the rumors.

Even Xiao Can, if he had told me all this, how could I have kept stopping him? Ah, there’s a saying that good things take time, perhaps it’s true.”

Suddenly, the door to the room burst open and Sang Qingqing called out with a face full of surprise, ”Su Can has awakened! He’s awake...”

”Xiao Can!” Mrs. Su called out as she ran into the room. Seeing Sang Qingqing about to follow her back in, Luo Ye grabbed her, glancing at Mr. Su.

”Qingqing, we were a bit foolish before, I hope you don’t mind,” Mr. Su quickly said, ”His mother and I have already accepted you as our daughter-in-law. From now on, how we treat Xiao Can is how we will treat you!”

”Uncle...” Sang Qingqing looked disbelieving, while Luo Ye firmly squeezed her hand, ”It’s true, what Uncle said. Auntie also mentioned it just now.”

”Ye’er, you...” Sang Qingqing hesitated for a moment before asking, ”Is it because of Uncle Luo?”

Luo Ye shook her head: ”No, Uncle and Auntie don’t know about my father.”

Mr. Su looked puzzledly at Luo Ye, ”Whose daughter is Miss Luo?”

”Luo Zhenggang.” Now that it had come to this, Luo Ye did not hide it any longer.

”Luo Zhenggang?” Mr. Su jolted with shock, ”Could it be, Miss Luo’s father is... Secretary Luo?”

”That’s correct, my father is the current Secretary of the Island City Committee,” Luo Ye said with a light smile, ”I hope you won’t mind our previous concerns.”

”Of course not, of course not, it’s actually a good thing that this wasn’t mentioned before; otherwise, it would have added to our mental burden. This is much better...”

...

Even though Su Can on the hospital bed was still very weak, his complexion was excellent, and his eyes were filled with joy as he stared at Sang Qingqing, ”Is it true? You won’t leave me again?”

”It’s true.” Sang Qingqing nodded firmly, ”From now on, I won’t leave you without your permission.”

”How come... you’re still thinking about leaving?” Su Can looked at her anxiously, ”How could I permit you to leave me?”

”Silly child, doesn’t Qingqing have to go on business trips?” Mrs. Su said with a chuckling smile, ”This child, really can be utterly foolish at times.”

Su Can looked towards Luo Ye, ”Ye’er, is there any way Qingqing doesn’t have to go on business trips?”

Luo Ye nodded, ”Sure, I have no objections.”

”You guy, why have you become so clingy?” Mr. Su came forward, poking his son’s forehead, ”Always ask Qingqing for her opinion first, and you’re not allowed to be willful.”

Su Can smiled weakly, ”Dad, of course, I will ask Qingqing’s opinion, except for not allowing me to open that topic.”

Mrs. Su, feeling sorry for her son, hurriedly interjected, ”Enough now, Xiao Can. Don’t talk anymore. We’ll talk, and you listen.”

”I want to get married.”

Everyone: ”...”

”Don’t look at me like that; I really want to get married.” Su Can emphasized again.

Mrs. Su rolled her eyes at her son, ”You still have the nerve to say that after getting yourself hurt like this? How can you marry?”

”I’ll be better in a few days.” Su Can looked at Sang Qingqing, whose face was red as a cloth, ”Qingqing, is that okay? If you mind the scar on my neck, I can get it removed.”

Mrs. Su rolled her eyes towards the ceiling. Is this really her son?

Mr. Su nudged her, gesturing towards the door. Mrs. Su, puzzled, followed him out, ”Look at you, all secretive. What is it?”

”Do you know who Miss Luo’s father is?” Mr. Su whispered.

”Whose daughter is she?”

”Our Island City Secretary’s daughter.”

”Really... really?” Mrs. Su looked surprised.

”Absolutely true. I asked her just now.”

”Husband, will my attitude towards this child before... will it?” Mrs. Su said worriedly.

”Overthinking it. You can tell that kid is very sensible. What I meant to tell you is that Qingqing really is a good girl. From now on, you can’t pick on her anymore.

Look, she knows that as long as she brings up this connection, even if we are reluctant, it wouldn’t be nice to offend Secretary Luo’s face. But she didn’t mention it.

Xiao Can didn’t say, and it must also be her idea. Nowadays, girls who are as low-profile and kind hearted as she is are really hard to find. Thinking about everything she has been through, we should really treat her well.”

Mrs. Su unsatisfiedly glared at Mr. Su, ”Husband, you’re underestimating me. Even without Secretary Luo’s influence, I would treat her well in the future.”

Mr. Su chuckled, ”I know your temper too well, stubborn as a mule. You always get confused at the beginning, it’s better for me to remind you in advance.”

”You old man, seeing our son wake up, you start to ramble again!” Mrs. Su’s expression softened and she nudged him, ”Let’s go in, shall we? But, do you think we should change our attitude?”

”What do you think?” Mr. Su tugged at her, ”Go in? Let the kids spend some time together. We should go home and make soup for our son.”

Mrs. Su nodded, ”Okay, I’ll do as you say. I’ll go in and tell our son.”

”No need to, I’ll text him. Qingqing will take care of him.” Mr. Su said as he pulled Mrs. Su to leave.

Half a minute later, the mobile phone in the bedside table drawer began to ring. Su Can winked at Sang Qingqing, ”Qingqing, can you check it for me?”

”Xiao Can, mom and dad have gone to make soup. Qingqing, please take good care of Xiao Can for mom and dad, thank you for your hard work!” Tears streamed down Sang Qingqing’s cheeks like beads off a broken string.

”What’s wrong?” Su Can was anxious and tried to sit up.

”It’s nothing.” Sang Qingqing quickly pressed him down, ”I’m just happy and moved, that’s why I’m crying.”

Luo Ye poked her head in to take a look, chuckled, and looked at the two, ”Sister Qingqing, Brother Su, I’m going to stay in Yao Qian’s room for a while, I won’t be your third wheel anymore.”

”Ye’er...” Sang Qingqing quickly stood up, ”Will you come back later?”

”Of course.” Luo Ye nodded, ”I still want to come and steal Brother Su’s soup.”

...

Inside Yao Qian’s room, Nie Cui and Liu Xing were talking softly. Hearing the door open, they both turned their heads and saw Luo Ye enter. Nie Cui sized her up and said with pity, ”Ye’er, go home and rest. You look like you haven’t stopped.”

”I’m fine.” Luo Ye nodded toward Yao Qian, ”Just fell asleep?”

”Yeah, she’s still too weak.”

Liu Xing suddenly slapped his forehead, ”That’s right, Ye’er, I remember you said before that Grandpa was going to take Luo Lian back to the hometown to meet relatives today. Has he left?”

Luo Ye waved her hand, ”Not yet. Knowing I joined this operation and with dad being busy these days, we postponed the trip back home by a few days.”

”If that’s the case, let me know when you go home. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Grandpa Luo, Uncle Luo, and Aunt Wen. I really miss them.”

”They’ll definitely be happy to see you.” Luo Ye looked at Nie Cui, ”After Sister Yao is discharged from the hospital, our family will treat Auntie to a meal. You must grace us with your presence.”

Nie Cui smiled and replied, ”Sure, look at your family relations, all mixed up...”

”Answering the phone, answering the phone...”

”I’ll take the call.” Luo Ye said as she took out her phone. She had only said a few words when her expression changed drastically, and she turned and ran out. ”Ye’er, what’s wrong? What happened?” Liu Xing hurriedly followed her out.

Right now, Luo Ye’s heart was in a flutter, not caring to answer him. The patients and their families in the corridors were startled to see a small shadow dash past, followed by another...

”Young people, it’s great to be young.” An old man sitting on a chair resting couldn’t help but sigh.

The old woman next to him pursed her toothless mouth, ”When you were young, you couldn’t run that fast either, don’t flatter yourself.”

...

Liu Xing covered his chest, taking a while to catch his breath. The front of the car was only two centimeters from him just now, he couldn’t tell if Ye’er’s driving was good or if she had not seen him...

Whatever made Ye’er so panic-stricken, it couldn’t be a trivial matter. A thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly slapped his forehead, ”It can’t be, it can’t be...”
