Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1275 - 763: The Truth

”Waiting for me? You knew I would come out?” Luo Ye looked at Feng Tianzhi, who was sitting in the car with a smile, and she couldn’t help but feel angry.

”That’s right, I was betting...” Feng Tianzhi got out of the car, lazily leaning against the vehicle, but his expression was extremely serious, ”If you didn’t come out, I would protect you from afar and never come near you again.

From the time we met until now, you might think I’m a bit shameless, but...” He paused, waiting until impatience appeared in Luo Ye’s eyes, then continued, ”But how could someone like me not have self-respect?

If you really find me annoying to the extreme, there’s no need for me to shamelessly force myself on you. Such a lack of self-respect would make me look down on myself.

While waiting outside, I was... very nervous...” He let out a long breath and continued, ”Such tense moments are indeed rare for me.

Since childhood, the only one who could make me feel this way was you, Little Ye’er. Fortunately, you came out in the end. But rest assured, just because you came out, I won’t relentlessly pester you. I just wanted to confirm Little Ye’er’s feelings...”

Luo Ye quickly interrupted him: ”Are you done talking to yourself? I’m not an ungrateful person. You’ve helped me so much, and leaving in such a strange mood just now, I ought to be concerned.

Also, I don’t want to lie; it was my second brother who made me come out. If it weren’t for his reminder, you might have waited even longer.”

”That’s enough...” Unexpectedly, Feng Tianzhi reached up to touch Luo Ye’s cheek and quickly hugged her, ”Let me hold you, just this once.”

Luo Ye struggled a few times, her tone carrying anger: ”Let go of me, you’re being too much! Don’t force me to be rough!”

”Alright.” Feng Tianzhi quickly released her, smiling contentedly, ”Now, I’ve got my fighting spirit back. Little Ye’er, remember, as long as I’m here, no one can hurt you.”

”What’s really going on?” Ignoring her anger, Luo Ye persisted in asking, as Feng Tianzhi’s behavior was too abnormal. Given his mental resilience, it had to be something significant.

”It’s nothing, hurry back. Aren’t there guests at home waiting for you?” Feng Tianzhi said while getting into the car, leaving Luo Ye exasperated as she grabbed him, ”Explain clearly before you go!”

”Little Ye’er, if you act like this, I might misunderstand.” Feng Tianzhi lazily smiled, reverting to his carefree demeanor.

Luo Ye frowned: ”My patience is limited. Are you speaking or not?”

”Don’t worry, I’m fine, don’t be concerned. How can a man leave his problems for a woman to solve?” Feng Tianzhi said as he lightly tapped Luo Ye’s hand on the car door, ”Just like a little wife not allowing her husband to leave.”

”You...” Luo Ye withdrew her hand, ”Fine, if you don’t want to talk, forget it. I’m too lazy to know anyway.”

”Little Ye’er, I’ve never been a man who feigns strength. If I really needed your help, I would ask. For now, please allow me to keep my masculine dignity.” As he finished speaking, the car started quickly and slipped away, heading in the direction of Building No. 1.

He must be going to find Jing Chen. Luo Ye let out a long breath and hesitated before dialing Ye Xuan’s number, ”Ye’er, are you home?” Ye Xuan’s voice was filled with joy.

”Yes...” Luo Ye recounted Feng Tianzhi’s unusual behavior and asked, ”Do you know what’s going on with him?”

The other side of the line was silent for a long time before softly saying, ”Ye’er, if he doesn’t tell you, don’t ask. Give him time, and if he needs you to step in, I’ll let you know.”

”You can’t tell me?” Luo Ye’s voice turned gloomy. She could accept Feng Tianzhi not telling her, but Ye Xuan’s secrecy made her uncomfortable.

Ye Xuan sighed lightly, ”Feng Yuning, who is Feng Tianzhi’s aunt, Ye’er should remember her, right?”

”Yes, Yang Xing’s father, Yang Songping’s first love, I know.”

”After Yang Songping was demoted, she broke up with him. Somehow, she got involved with the Second Chief’s son-in-law.

Recently, this matter has been exposed. The key is that the person who introduced them was Feng Tianzhi. He probably didn’t expect things to turn out this way.”

Without further explanation, Luo Ye understood that Feng Tianzhi came, likely intending to see her one last time before keeping his distance, fearing he might implicate her.

His contradictory nature made things unnecessarily confusing and unclear.

This is indeed a situation difficult to speak out—how could he say, ”My aunt was caught having an affair, and I was the one who introduced them? I’m seeing you now before I get implicated.”

This is truly a mess of tangled accounts!

Perhaps he deliberately said those things in front of Grandpa and Mom to divert attention, making it unclear why he came.

This contradictory man!

”Ye’er?” Luo Ye’s long silence compelled Ye Xuan to call out to her.

”I’m here.” Luo Ye sighed, ”Ye Xuan, what do you think?”

”Don’t interfere.” Ye Xuan asserted, ”Not because he likes Ye’er, but because in matters like this, even the justified are hard to clarify, let alone those at fault.

If you truly wish him well, watch from afar and do not intervene. With time, this matter will pass, and it won’t significantly impact the Feng Family.”

”I know. That’s not what I was asking.” Luo Ye hesitated, unsure of how to proceed.

```

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, then Ye Xuan sighed softly: ”People are emotional creatures, I won’t restrict Ye’er’s circle of friends...” Sighing gently, he added, ”Of course, I feel a little jealous, but if the situation is like this, it can only mean I haven’t done well enough.”

”You actually know you haven’t done well enough?” Luo Ye’s mood lightened up suddenly, unable to resist teasing, ”I thought Young Master Ye was enjoying it, tell me truthfully, how many beauties have you flirted with during this time?”

”Ye’er...” Ye Xuan explained helplessly, ”Your future husband is almost turning into black-faced Judge Bao; who would dare come near?”

”What future husband, did I agree? Not talking to you anymore, we have guests at home, goodbye.” Luo Ye laughed and hung up the phone, no matter how Ye Xuan was struggling on the other end.

When Luo Zhenggang came home and saw his daughter had brought a bunch of people back, he was naturally extremely happy, but unfortunately, his happiness made the Liu Family feel restrained.

The Governor, someone often seen on TV, became their relative!

...

The next day was Monday, Liu Yumei went back to Yuanzhou Mine early in the morning, while Grandpa Liu and Granny Liu were left behind by Grandpa Luo, saying they would wait until the tomatoes in the greenhouse were fully ripe before going back.

It would take about a month for the tomatoes to ripen completely, but seeing Grandpa and Grandpa Liu and Granny Liu smiling so genuinely together, Luo Ye wished the tomatoes could take a whole year to ripen. Embarrassing!

In the morning, she went to see Grandpa Song. The old man was really seriously ill this time, thin to the bone, having reached the mid to late stages of dementia, completely not recognizing people.

When Luo Ye held his hand, he gazed at her confusedly for a while, only able to grin and laugh. Wang Qi, who was by his bedside, wiped her eyes.

”Aunt Wang, Grandpa is actually happy now, don’t be too sad. Uncle Song still needs your care.” Luo Ye gently advised.

”Ye’er, Aunt knows, but seeing him like this, my heart feels so heavy. Whenever my Uncle Song and I had conflicts after marriage, the old man, whether his son was right or wrong, always sided with me, his daughter-in-law, sometimes even raising his hand to hit your Uncle Song.

Now, seeing him lying in bed so weak, he can’t even muster the strength to hit, even if your Uncle Song were to lean in for it.

Though birth, old age, sickness, and death are natural laws, yet truly facing it...” Wang Qi paused and continued, ”Ye’er, you are still young, you haven’t deeply felt some things.

Aunt would like to say more: in the future, whenever possible, come back to see your Grandpa and parents. They miss you siblings, elders cherish family relationships, nothing can replace the importance of family in their hearts.”

...

”Sister-in-law, went out to buy vegetables?”

”Yes, my daughter came back, so we went to buy vegetables together. This is my daughter, beautiful, right?”

”Of course she’s beautiful, there aren’t even film actors who compare. The daughter resembles the sister-in-law; the son resembles the Governor. You two truly have good fortune.”

”Haha, I think so too.”

”...”

”This is my daughter, beautiful, right?”

”...”

Following behind Wen Xin, listening to her greet familiar faces in the courtyard now and then, she would always proudly introduce herself each time.

Luo Ye thought of Wang Qi’s words, feeling a pang in her heart, tears welled up, just as another person was approaching, she quickly took a deep breath, adjusted her feelings, restored normalcy.

Returning home, Luo Ye hugged Wen Xin, tears rolled down like beads from a broken necklace.

”What happened, Ye’er, quickly tell mom, who made you angry?” Wen Xin was startled by her daughter, gently patting her daughter’s back and asking.

Trying to put the vegetables back in the kitchen, Sister Li, who wanted to come out to ask if lunch should start, stood there awkwardly, unsure whether to come in or retreat.

”Nothing...” Luo Ye sniffed, ”Mom, I’m sorry, my brother and I often aren’t home, we haven’t been filial enough.”

”Silly girl.” Wen Xin sighed with relief, ”I thought something happened, you and Feng’er are at the start of your careers, mom wouldn’t possibly keep you at home.

As long as Ye’er and Feng’er can come home during the holidays, mom is contented. Grandpa, mom, and dad are reasonable; you’re such a silly child.”

Luo Ye looked up and happened to see Sister Li wiping her tears, she curiously asked: ”Sister Li, what’s wrong? Missing Dongdong?”

Dongdong is in the second year of junior high this year, choosing to attend boarding school, coming home once a month.
