Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 827: Chapter 497: What Is Your Intention

”Luoluo...” Feng Qing stared in surprise at Luo Ye, who was soaked to the skin, ”Did you... did you take a bath with her while fully clothed?”

”Pretty much.” Luo Ye casually grabbed a towel and began to dry her hair; she was utterly impressed by Lady Yetai.

First, she complained that the water was cold, then she said it was too hot. Alright, she put up with it and got the temperature right, but before she could leave, Yetai Dabujie asked for help with scrubbing her back.

The heck with it, scrubbing as it is, but the lady insisted on standing under the showerhead after stepping out of the tub, claiming it was her habit and she couldn’t tolerate even a speck of dirt on her body. In the end, Lady Luo, powerless, had no choice but to take a shower with her, fully clothed...

Cui Xuetao walked over: ”Luo Ye, no matter what kind of request the person you’re protecting makes, you have to control your emotions. Otherwise, the consequences will involve everyone.”

Luo Ye glanced at her faintly: ”Understood.”

”What kind of attitude is that?” Cui Xuetao furrowed her brows, ”I’m the overall leader among us, and reminding you not to forget the rules is my duty.”

”Xueta, don’t be anxious. Luo Ye hasn’t participated in a mission before and isn’t very familiar,” Qian Ying said, looking at Luo Ye. ”Luo Ye, don’t think Xueta is targeting you. The rule of our team is that when the overall leader isn’t present, the leader of each sub-team has absolute authority, and the team members must completely obey the leader.”

”Got it.” Luo Ye replied again.

Feng Qing stepped forward to defend Luo Ye: ”Everyone has gone through their first time. Luoluo has done well enough. In that situation earlier, who could have handled it better than Luoluo?”

”This only proves she provoked Miss Noda, otherwise, why didn’t Miss Noda target others?” Cui Xuetao snorted, ”Feng Qing, don’t think we don’t know your brother’s intentions. What you’re doing is just to curry favor with Luo Ye on behalf of your brother.”

Feng Qing raised her eyebrows: ”Even if that’s the case, so what? Tell me, have I done anything against the rules, or should I remind you that treating Luoluo like this is just out of jealousy on your part.”

”We’re jealous of her...”

Luo Ye cut off Cui Xuetao: ”Alright, let’s not make a scene for outsiders to laugh at. Shouldn’t the person in charge be more mindful of their behavior?”

”Hmph.” Cui Xuetao gave a heavy snort and leaned against the door of Noda Hikari’s room, knocking softly, ”Miss Noda, I’m in charge, Cui Xuetao. Is there anything else you need us for?”

The door opened gently, and Noda Hikari moved out weakly, ”Miss Cui, thank you for your hard work. I don’t need anything for now; I’d like to rest a bit if that’s okay?”

Cui Xuetao smiled and stepped back: ”Alright, please rest. We’ll remind you when it’s time.”

”Thank you!” Noda Hikari bowed and retreated into the room.

Cui Xuetao glanced at Luo Ye and Feng Qing: ”See? What’s her attitude towards me? You should reflect on why the difference in treatment exists.”

”Because you’re too ugly.” Feng Qing muttered softly.

”What did you say?” Cui Xuetao’s voice suddenly grew louder.

Feng Qing sneered: ”Alright, you actually like my brother but were rejected. Now you’ve learned my brother likes Luo Ye, so you’re angry and embarrassed, pretending it doesn’t matter.”

”Say that again!”

”Enough, Xuetao, don’t stoop to their level. They’re just inexperienced, prideful college students; why argue over trivial matters?” Qian Ying cautioned, giving Feng Qing a glare. ”And you, stop adding fuel to the fire. No issue arises without cause, and if you don’t know the reason, don’t jump to conclusions.”

”Creak...” The door suddenly opened, and Noda Hikari stood at the entrance, ”Miss Cui and Miss Qian, could you come in for a moment?”

”Certainly.” The two exchanged a glance, a hint of joy in their eyes. The post-task evaluation would affect their future promotions, and judging by her attitude, there was nothing to worry about.

As they watched the door close, Feng Qing leaned over to Luo Ye’s ear: ”Luoluo, what do you think they’ll say?”

Luo Ye shrugged: ”No idea, but it’s unlikely they’ll speak kindly of me.”

”Psh, like you had to point that out?” Feng Qing rolled her eyes, ”Anyhow, this is going to be lively. Luoluo, I’ve noticed that wherever you go, it turns lively. I think you really should consult a fortune-teller to see what kind of destiny you have, why you attract so much trouble.”

”Get lost.” Luo Ye slapped her playfully, ”I’m already annoyed, and here you are gloating. I say, you weren’t like this before; why are you now leaning towards Xing Nong’s style?”

”I used to be troubled, didn’t have the heart for jokes. But now, thanks to my brother’s mediation, our relationship with Grandpa has improved, so of course, I’m happy.” Feng Qing sighed quietly, ”Who wants to see their own family fighting to the death?”

”Every family has its issues.” Luo Ye wrapped her arms around her shoulder, patting her, ”Fortunately, everything’s moving in a better direction.”

”Yeah.” Feng Qing looked gratefully at Luo Ye, ”If it weren’t for you, my brother wouldn’t be this helpful to us.”

”Alright, enough with the polite talks.”

”Oh right, let me tell you about my brother’s past.” Feng Qing enthusiastically grabbed Luo Ye’s hand, ”His embarrassing stories from childhood could fill days on end...”

”No, thanks.” Luo Ye interrupted Feng Qing, ”I know you’re being nice, but your brother and I are not possible. So I don’t want you to waste your efforts here, understand?”

”Alright then!” Feng Qing sighed heavily, ”Why do I like you so much? Such a pity... really a pity.”

”You’re annoying!” Luo Ye was amused by her playful tone and laughed, ”I find you’re becoming more and more like sisters with Xing Nong now.”

”That child is lovely, I like her,” Feng Qing said, adding, ”Yaoguang is fun too. You guys, as the three musketeers, are quite amusing.”

Luo Ye rolled her eyes, ”I think you should join us and make it four musketeers.”

”No problem, I don’t have many friends, so this is something I’m eager for,” Feng Qing said, with a deep gaze, ”It’s too difficult to find friends who share the same values as us.”

”...”

...

The welcome banquet in the evening was very grand. Deputy Governor Ye Jianxing, Municipal Committee Secretary Wen Song, Mayor Xiang Jingtian, and a group of high officials attended the banquet.

Such a huge investment is truly the biggest positive news since the financial crisis, hence the grand welcome.

Yoda Song was dressed in a well-fitted custom suit, and Noda Hikari wore a peach-colored evening gown with her hair beautifully styled into an elegant bun. The father and daughter displayed elegance and eloquence, a stark contrast from their demeanor at the hotel.

Midway through the banquet, Yoda Song stood up and bowed politely in the direction of Ye Mo and others, ”I must apologize to Mr. Ye and his team. Earlier, I had doubts about Mr. Ye’s team’s professionalism, and I’m sincerely sorry.”

”Mr. Yodan, you are too polite. Please have a seat,” Ye Mo responded politely while standing.

”My daughter also has a few words to say, may she?” Yoda Song looked towards Ye Jianxing, ”Governor Ye, is it acceptable?”

Ye Jianxing nodded hastily, ”Of course, of course.”

Noda Hikari stood up and bowed around, ”This is my first time in China, I really like this beautiful country and its culture.

Although I’ve been here less than half a day, I’ve already felt the warmth of your people, especially thanks to Miss Luo Ye, her service is just wonderful!”

”Thank you for the compliment, Miss Noda,” Luo Ye stood up and responded politely, secretly smiling to herself. As expected, they’re starting to play two-faced games. Their purpose is nothing more than lifting her up to find an opportunity to knock her down heavily. Do they really think she’s that naive?

After Noda Hikari sat down, she whispered a few words to Yoda Song. Yoda Song smiled and looked at Wen Song, ”I’ve heard Yuelu Mountain in Sha City is very beautiful. Can my daughter visit it tomorrow?”

”No problem,” Wen Song replied, looking at Ye Mo, ”Little Ye, I’ll leave this to you.”

Noda Hikari blinked and whispered a few more words into Yoda Song’s ear. Yoda Song looked at Wen Song, ”Tomorrow, my daughter would like to invite her boyfriend and good friends, is that okay?”

”No problem,” Wen Song agreed again.

...

It was the most beautiful season on Yuelu Mountain, with lush green trees of various kinds stretching their limbs, peeking their heads, completely isolating the heat.

Walking under the shade felt like a cool breeze was blowing, not a hint of air’s heat could be felt. The sound of flowing water immediately put one in high spirits.

”So beautiful, it’s just too beautiful,” Noda Hikari exclaimed, holding a blonde man on one side and a blonde woman on the other.

”Yeah, it’s incredible that such a beautiful place exists. We’re lucky to have come along,” the man and woman echoed in unison.

”Ah, there’s a spring over there, so beautiful,” Noda Hikari pulled both of them forward running.

”Stop looking around, hurry up and keep up,” Cui Xuetao shouted as she chased after them.

”Does she feel uncomfortable if she doesn’t show her authority?” Feng Qing was speechless. Really, were they that unprofessional? Even if this place looked like a fairyland, did they just wander around aimlessly?

”Luo Ye, hurry up, come over here,” Noda Hikari stood on a protruding rock, waving repeatedly at Luo Ye.

Luo Ye took a few quick steps and stopped, ”Miss Noda, what are your orders?”

”You’re my life secretary, you should accompany me,” Noda Hikari said, pulling Luo Ye forward, pointing to the spring, ”Look, so clear, you can see the little fish swimming below.”

Glancing around from the corner of her eye, seeing no one approaching, Noda’s face wore a smile, her voice suddenly changed, ”I’m telling you, I really don’t like China, and I don’t like Chinese people. Especially you, compared to our Yamato race, you all are the lowest kind of creatures. I detest you all, especially you. My father came to China to invest purely out of pity for you...”
