Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 856: Chapter 517-518: Two Men / Solitary Confinement_2

”Yes, I understand.” Ye Mo comfortingly patted Ye Xuan, ”It’s good that you’re back. Compared to all that you’ve gained this year, it’s worth it.”

”This time I can only stay for a week. There are still a few loose ends to tie up, and I need to go back for another month to finish handing things over.” Ye Xuan sighed, ”I just didn’t expect to come back and find Ye’er in trouble.”

Ye Mo hesitated: ”You just said that the Ye Family is too powerful and shouldn’t show its full strength, but it seems like you’re planning to see Vice Chairman Yan? Aren’t you afraid this will ruin Grandpa Ye’s plan?”

”A true man knows what he should and shouldn’t do. I am the junior, and Ye’er is my fiancée. If they want to blame someone, let it be me!” Ye Xuan sighed lightly, ”If I let Ye’er stay in there for the sake of the family, am I still a man?”

Ye Mo thought for a moment, ”I actually think Ye’er has everything planned out.”

Ye Xuan nodded, ”I also guessed that Ye’er had a plan, but no matter how she plans it, I can’t let her suffer like this. Yes, attracting investment is important for the country, but a country has to uphold its own responsibilities. How can it rely on the sacrifice of a young woman for opportunities? Not even temporarily!”

”Have you returned to the Ye Family and Wen Family?”

”No.” Ye Xuan shook his head, ”As soon as I got off the island, I received a call from Captain Jiang. He gave me a rundown of the situation but said he’s not in a position to intervene, so I have to figure it out myself.

You are the captain of Ye’er’s mission this time, so it would be more convenient for us to act together. Of course, by doing so, you also get associated with the Ye Family. It’s up to you whether to join or not, I won’t force you.”

”I’m really happy you came to me first.” Ye Mo slapped him on the shoulder, ”What do you mean ’force you’? If you keep talking like that, I’ll be disappointed. We are brothers, why talk like strangers?”

Ye Xuan was silent for a while, looking at Ye Mo: ”Brother, I’m sorry!”

Ye Mo was taken aback and then realized what he meant: ”What’s there to be sorry about? If Ye’er liked me, I wouldn’t back down either. Anything can be let go, except for this.”

”Of course, this is something we can never compromise on.” Ye Xuan laughed and patted him, ”We both agree on this.”

”Boss, you deliberately trapped me, that’s so sneaky, isn’t it?” Ye Mo looked at him with an amused yet frustrated expression, ”Don’t worry, even if I like Ye’er, I won’t interfere with your relationship, so you don’t have to remind me.”

”You’re overthinking it. Our conversation just naturally led here, didn’t it?” Ye Xuan paused, then continued, ”To be honest, I was also uncertain. After all, Ye’er’s reaction when she first met you was very strange.

Later I asked her why she lost her composure when she first met you. She said she once had a strange dream where someone blocked a bullet for her, and that person was you, so when she saw you, she was stunned.”

”Yes, she’s told me about this too.” Ye Mo sighed, ”She often has these mysterious and inexplicable occurrences around her. Her personality is also hard to figure out. Sometimes I even doubt whether she’s an ordinary person. If I weren’t an atheist, I’d be letting my imagination run wild.”

Ye Xuan laughed and said, ”Old Ye, I think I probably sense this even more deeply than you do. Maybe she just naturally has a sixth sense that is different from others.”

”I heard Ye’er used to be very timid, is that true?”

Ye Xuan nodded, ”Yes, that’s undoubtedly true. When I first went to her house, Captain Jiang kept telling me stories about how timid she was and warned me not to scare her. However, when we met, I found she was completely different from how Captain Jiang described her.

Later, Captain Jiang confirmed that he was also very surprised the last time he saw Ye’er, and his astonishment was no less than mine. Uncle Luo and Aunt Wen explained that Ye’er was bullied badly at school, leading to a sudden personality change.

Though this explanation makes sense, when you think about it, how can someone undergo such a significant change in such a short time? That’s why Ye’er’s situation can’t be judged by conventional standards.

I was attracted by her extremes in behavior, and step by step, I got closer to her, more and more deeply involved, and in the end, I became the one lacking confidence. Sigh, how embarrassing!”

”There’s nothing embarrassing about that. After spending so much time with her, I’ve realized you can’t treat her like a child of her age. Sometimes her thoughts and reactions feel more mature than ours, yet at other times, she seems incredibly childish...” Ye Mo suddenly realized and looked at Ye Xuan nervously, ”Boss, are you mad about what I said?”
