Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1168 - 696: Love Makes People Neurotic

”Thank you!” Yu Na smiled gratefully at Xing Nong, then turned her gaze to Luo Ye, ”Luoluo, thank you, thank you for letting me know!”

Thinking of Hang Menglin’s last wishes and some rumors about Yu Na, Luo Ye couldn’t bring herself to smile, so she sighed lightly, ”Don’t let her worry anymore.”

”I know, after the funeral, I called Grandpa...” Pausing, Yu Na’s lips curled into a bitter smile, ”If he truly sees me as his granddaughter, he shouldn’t force me; if he only sees me as a pawn, then leaving won’t be regrettable.”

”You guys...” Xing Nong’s eyes moved back and forth between Luo Ye and Yu Na, ”What are you guys keeping from me?” Turning dissatisfied, she pouted at Luo Ye, ”Don’t hide it from me, I want to know.”

Knowing Luo Ye was inconvenient to answer this question, Yu Na quickly took over the conversation, ”It’s nothing, just Coach Hang asked Luoluo to persuade me before leaving, not to follow in her footsteps...” She sighed lightly, ”You probably know that there’s been a man coming to find me recently, his name is Li Yan Gang, a choice of my Grandpa.

In terms of power, the Li family is indeed not as strong as the Ye, Wen, Feng, Yu, Hang, Yang, nor can it compare to the Tang, Fu, Wu, Zhan, Zhong, Ye families.

However, with the Yang family’s decline, Hang family’s lack of successors, Wen and Ye families’ strong alliance, the only option left in the Six Great Families was the Feng family.

In the Feng family, other than Feng Tianzhi, there’s Feng Tianqi who’s similar to my age, but Feng Tianzhi’s character decides that between me and him, it’s absolutely impossible. Feng Tianqi, on the other hand, is already engaged to Tang Xiaoru.

So, Grandpa had to look outside the Six Great Families. But Grandpa doesn’t have good relations with several major business magnates, so now making him humble himself to ask for marriage, of course, he wouldn’t like it. Hence, Grandpa turned his sights to rising stars.

Li Yan Gang’s father, uncle, and uncle have developed rapidly, and among the younger generation, Li Yan Gang is only twenty-four but already at the Standard Department level. His two cousins, Li Yanwen and Li Yanwu, are also developing well. In a few years, the Li family will undoubtedly be one of the families to reckon with in the country.

The Li family thus caught Grandpa’s eye. Last time, Grandpa said he was unwell and tricked me into coming home, just for a date with Li Yan Gang.

The outcome, everybody knows, since the date, Li Yan Gang laid out his game to pursue me. Frankly, if it were before, to spite Luoluo, I might agree to Li Yan Gang.

Whether it’s in height, looks, or position, although he can’t compare to Ye Xuan, given time, he won’t be much worse than Ye Xuan either.

However, now I’ve figured it out, marriage is definitely not something to compare or bet on. What I’m looking for is a companion to stay with me for life through thick and thin, not a decoration who appears good everywhere but is bitter once the doors close.”

After Yu Na finished speaking, Luo Ye and Xing Nong remained silent.

In Qujing, Luo Ye did hear Hang Menglin briefly mention this, but she didn’t expect Yu Na to say it so frankly, seeing that Hang Menglin’s departure really did affect her.

”The Li Yan Gang you mentioned sounds good, why not like him? Could it be you still have feelings for Ye Xuan?”

”Qiu’er!” Luo Ye poked Xing Nong, how could she say such things at a time like this?

”It’s okay.” Yu Na waved her hand, ”Saying things openly is better than keeping them hidden and guessing wildly. To be honest, men like Ye Xuan are impossible to completely forget.

However, I’ve realized that his feelings for Luoluo are untouchable by anyone, so I will never embarrass myself again.

As for Li Yan Gang, he does indeed sound great. I even considered getting along with him seriously, but unfortunately, he’s not thinking about getting along with me seriously, so I can only give up.”

”What do you mean?” Xing Nong looked puzzled.

”Before being chosen by the Yu family, he had a girlfriend of three years. After meeting me, he immediately gave her breakup money.

Such a man views marriage purely as a tool for gaining benefits, wanting him to genuinely love someone is probably a dream.

I won’t delude myself into thinking he fell for me at first sight, let me explain briefly, his ex-girlfriend’s father was once Li Yan Gang’s father’s superior, who retired just last year.”

”And the girl willingly accepted the breakup money?” Xing Nong’s face twisted into an expression like a steamed bun.

Yu Na shrugged, ”That’s his brilliance, the girl not only accepted the breakup money but willingly waits for him.”

”How do you know?”

Luo Ye poked Xing Nong’s forehead, ”Qiu’er, you’re like a kid with a hundred thousand whys.”

Feeling embarrassed, Xing Nong stuck her tongue out. After all, her relationship with Yu Na wasn’t deep, not very harmonious before, and now asking such private questions was indeed crossing the line.

”It’s okay, since I decided to deal with you openly, and my master hopes I improve my relationship with you, it’s right to be frank.

I know these because my aunt is close to that girl, heard directly from her. This world is truly small.”

”That girl knew about you and that guy’s relationship, how come she talked to your aunt?” Xing Nong couldn’t resist her curiosity and asked again.

Yu Na smiled bitterly, ”My aunt has long been separated from the family, that girl did not know the girl who the guy said would bring a bright future to the Li family is my aunt’s family.”

”What a coincidence...” Xing Nong smacked her lips, unsure of what to say.

”Luoluo, to be honest, I really envy you. Your family treats you so well, look at me, and then at Master, alas...” Tears welled up in Yu Na’s eyes, choking her words.

Luo Ye didn’t know how to comfort her, so she shook her head with a wry smile, ”This is something that can’t be chosen.”

”But, let me be clear, even if we become friends in the future, I’ll still compete with you. Friends are friends, business is business, they’re two different things.”

Luo Ye raised an eyebrow, ”I know, finally you’re back to the Yu Na I know.”

”Luoluo, you’re back? Let me see, did you gain weight or lose weight?” As soon as Ji Sisi entered the dormitory, she grabbed Luo Ye’s arm and looked her up and down, then rested her chin on her hand, ”Ah, a woman nourished by love is indeed different. No matter how busy or tired, you still look so vibrant!”

Luo Ye looked her over, ”What’s up with you? You seem like a different person too.”

Xing Nong pouted, ”She’s showing off to you, she’s fallen in love.”

”Who is it?” Luo Ye asked curiously. Because of her first boyfriend, Ji Sisi had always had a mental block and hadn’t dated anyone since. How did she solve it so quickly?

”You know him, guess who it is?” Ji Sisi’s eyes were full of happy tears.

Luo Ye skimmed through the people she knew, thought for a moment, ”Yan Han.”

”Huh? How did you guess?” Ji Sisi looked surprised, then turned to Xing Nong, ”Did you tell Luoluo beforehand?”

Xing Nong rolled her eyes, ”I wish I could have, but where would I get the chance?”

”Luoluo is amazing.” Ji Sisi shook Luo Ye’s arm, ”Tell me, how did you figure it out?”

”Little woman in love.” Luo Ye shrugged helplessly. ”To catch your interest, they’d have to have looks, talent, and the determination not to give up halfway.

Analyzing it comprehensively, among the people I know and you know, it could only be those here at the school. Excluding those taken, narrowing down the top picks, I’m not too far off, right?”

Ji Sisi clicked her tongue, ”When you retire, you should make up for vacancies in the criminal investigation department. This logical analysis ability is not something ordinary people can compare to.”

Yu Na chimed in, ”Letting her fill a vacancy in the criminal investigation department would be a waste of talent, wouldn’t it?”

”True enough.” Ji Sisi finally looked at Yu Na formally, ”Let’s reconcile too.”

Yu Na clapped her hand, ”I’ve already moved on, you’re the one who hasn’t let it go.”

”Heh, you were the one who snatched someone away, of course you’ve moved on quickly. I’m the victim here, it’s not easy for me to just let it go like that.”

Seeing Ji Sisi’s temper flare up again, Yu Na stood up and solemnly bowed, ”I’m sorry, I was too petty and overly jealous before, that’s all on me. I hope you have a big heart and won’t hold it against me anymore.”

”Uh...” Ji Sisi was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared at the corner of her lips, ”Yu Na, you’re much cuter than before. Alright, let’s move past this!”

”I’m having a bit of a hard time adjusting.” Xing Nong pinched Luo Ye hard, ”See if I’m dreaming.”

”Ow!”

The howl came from Xing Nong.

”You dead Luoluo, why are you pinching me so hard?”

Luo Ye gave her a mischievous pat, ”Qiu’er, you pinched the wrong person earlier. I was worried you’d think you were dreaming, so I helped a little.”

”You...”

”Qiu’er, you’re the cutest.” Ji Sisi hugged Xing Nong and swayed her back and forth.

Xing Kai waved them off disdainfully, ”Hey hey hey... let go of me. All of you seem so weird and crazy, it’s scary. It seems falling in love can really drive people insane!”

As they were all bustling, Bai Qingchu, Miaomiao, Li Qing and others gradually returned. Seeing Luo Ye, another round of lively chatter ensued.

”Where’s Yao Yao?” Luo Ye asked Xing Nong when she found a gap. She initially thought Yao Yao might have gone to run errands, so she didn’t ask, but seeing everyone else had returned except Yao Yao, she couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

”Oh, Luoluo, you’re really back?”

Before Xing Nong could reply, Sang Cao rushed in, affectionately grabbing Luo Ye and looking her over, then quickly pushing her out, ”Go to the office quickly, Captain Xiang asked for you.”
