Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 720: Chapter 429: Regret?

”What did your previous actions amount to?” Luo Lian sneered, ”You went so far as to harm others just to destroy their relationship, but you only ended up harming yourself instead.

Heaven is indeed fair, I have always believed that those who do evil will eventually face retribution, sooner or later.”

”What do you mean?” Lian Qinghua looked at Luo Lian hatefully, ”Don’t think that just because someone is protecting you, I wouldn’t dare to touch you.”

Luo Lian curled her lips: ”Why fear if you’re not guilty?”

”Qiao Aimin, see? This is the beloved daughter you dote on so much. You think Xiao Wan is cruel? Compared to her, what is Xiao Wan?

It’s just a matter of a single sentence. If you don’t want to help, fine, but why humiliate her like this? Qiao Aimin, I leave these words here, no matter how well you treat her, it’s not sure she will be grateful. She is an ungrateful, emotionless ingrate!”

”I don’t see the heartlessness you speak of. Your standards for people are, those who follow you are good and those against you are evil. Isn’t that what an ingrate would do?”

Luo Lian’s response made Luo Lian’s lips curl up. She was about to say something when her phone rang in her pocket. Glancing at the caller ID, she quickly picked it up. After a moment, she turned to Old Sir Qiao and Old Madam Qiao: ”Grandpa, Grandma, Luoluo is asking me out to play.”

Old Sir Qiao nodded: ”Go ahead, I’ll have Old Liu take you.”

”Lianlian, take this.” Old Madam Qiao shoved a card into Luo Lian’s hand, ”Buy whatever you want, this is a gesture from your grandparents.”

Originally wanting to refuse, Luo Lian caught a glimpse of the jealous look in the eyes of Lian Qinghua and her daughter and cheerily accepted: ”Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma.”

”Lianlian...” Lian Qinghua hesitated, then suddenly grabbed Luo Lian, pleading, ”Auntie begs you, just have Luo Ye not pursue it, and I can arrange for Xiao Wan to go abroad for treatment.” Saying so, she lifted Qiao Xiaowan’s veil, ”Look at your sister’s face, I’m not asking for anything else, just considering we are both girls, please lend a hand, alright?”

”Let go of me.” Luo Lian stared emotionlessly at Qiao Xiaowan’s hideous face, ”Just by a little bit, and that could have been Luoluo, are you reminding me of how venomous you really are!”

”You...”

”Enough, don’t make it difficult for Lianlian,” Old Madam Qiao stood up and patted Luo Lian, ”Go have fun, don’t let your friends wait, and remember to call before coming back.”

”Understood.” Luo Lian replied, waved her hand to Old Sir Qiao and Qiao Aimin, and left.

Inside, the room fell silent once more.

After a slight hesitation, Qiao Xiaowan stood up: ”Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, I ask you one last time, is there still a place for me in this family? Can’t this family really accept Mom anymore?”

”Xiao Wan, you will always be a part of this family,” Qiao Aimin sighed, looking towards Lian Qinghua, ”What happened between us, you know very well. Forcing ourselves to stay together would just be mutual torment.

Seeing you, I recall how Luo Xiang left this world, how much Lianlian suffered, my indecision has caused both mother and daughter so much pain, all I can do is try to make up for it in Lianlian’s future days.

Lian Qinghua, if you have any conscience left, you should bear good will and stop harassing Lianlian, stop troubling her.”

”Dad, you disappoint me greatly.” Qiao Xiaowan looked emotionlessly at Lian Qinghua, ”Mom, let’s leave, staying any longer would just be demeaning ourselves.”

Old Sir Qiao frowned, said: ”Xiao Wan, even now, do you feel no remorse for your actions?”

”Grandpa, now it’s me who became the monster, not Luo Ye!” Qiao Xiaowan’s eyes filled with hatred, ”I admit, my actions at that time were somewhat inappropriate, but what about Luo Ye? Did she do no wrong? She could have entirely avoided the situation, so why did she have to kick towards me?

Everyone is busy blaming me, yet neglecting that what Luo Ye did is equally unforgivable, how can I possibly feel regretful?”

Old Sir Qiao shook his head and sighed deeply, standing up and returning to his study, disappointed beyond words in his granddaughter. How had he not noticed before, she had been raised so selfishly?

Always blaming others, how could such a child belong to the Qiao family? In choosing a wife one should choose wisely, indeed he was not wrong!

Qiao Xiaowan was also suffering. When she learned that the humiliation she suffered abroad was just a drug-induced hallucination, she nearly collapsed. How could those people treat her that way? If not for them, would she have taken such desperate actions?

She hated them, but also knew that she was powerless to avenge. Thinking over it again and again, she kept redirecting her hatred towards Luo Ye.

If it hadn’t been for Luo Ye, she wouldn’t have needed to go abroad, if she hadn’t gone abroad, she would not have been persecuted by those people, and then none of what followed would have happened, naturally, she wouldn’t have been disfigured; thus, in the end, the root cause of all this was Luo Ye!

There’s a debtor for every debt, and she should be seeking Luo Ye!

Unfortunately, she simply was no match for Luo Ye, neither in skill nor in power, and now, even if she wanted to snatch Ye Xuan, she had no means... thus, how could she feel regret?
