Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1465: Chapter 857: Speaking the Truth_2

”Tsk, didn’t I say it before? Someone like Ye Xuan is fine to look at, but bringing him home, that’s another story. As for having a crush on my cousin, that’s just nonsense.

If that were true, I should be figuring out how to stop Luo Ye from marrying him, rather than helping them get together, right?”

”What if you’re doing the opposite?” Zhu Hongyu turned to look at her, ”What if your goal is to make your cousin see how good you are to him, and develop feelings for you in return?”

”Have you been watching too many Hong Kong dramas?” Xia Yingru rolled her eyes, ”Even if, by some miracle, I did fall for my cousin, there’s still the issue of blood relation. Families like ours would never allow such a scandal to happen.

If I have to say it, it’s more that I’ve admired my cousin since I was young. I always thought he was excellent in every way, so I hope he finds someone equally excellent. That would suit him.

Luo Ye, I’ve seen her information. She’s achieved so much at such a young age. In the future, she will definitely be a great help to my cousin.

And from family background to all aspects, they’re particularly well-matched, so two suitable people coming together to build two families is such a perfect thing, right?”

”Why were you arguing with your dad?” Luo Ye suddenly asked.

”What else could it be about? He’s always busy with projects and never comes home...” Xia Yingru suddenly stopped, ”Are you trying to get information out of me?”

”You’re so determined to persuade me, I need to understand the reason.” Luo Ye shrugged with a smile, ”Actually, your family has protected you well. Plus, your family probably doesn’t intend for you to marry for alliance purposes, right?”

”You can tell?”

”Of course, the way you talk and act, you really don’t seem like a kid from that kind of family. You’re very...” Luo Ye thought for a moment, ”You’re really adorable, truly.”

”Why do I feel like you’re saying I’m dumb or silly?” Xia Yingru lowered her head, ”Honestly, I just feel like I can’t really help out at home and always make them worry, so I thought I’d do what I can to help them a bit.

This time, the marriage alliance is something my uncle values greatly. After you rejected it, he wasn’t in a great mood, and then my aunt was also in a bad mood.

My aunt has always been very supportive of our family. Without her, we wouldn’t be living the way we are now. I just thought I can’t keep freeloading and enjoying benefits without contributing.

Luo Ye, I really mean no harm. Everything I said about my cousin is true, and I’ll tell you a secret as well.

My uncle’s actions to unite with your family are not something my cousin agrees with. He believes that feelings should not be forced.

Because of this, he even had an argument with my uncle. He told me he’s very impressed with you after seeing your profile.

However, he doesn’t want my uncle to pressure you like that, because if he does, my cousin would never be able to hold his head up in front of you for the rest of his life.”

”I can tell you truly admire your cousin.” Luo Ye thought for a moment and then looked at her, ”How did you know I was here?”

”I secretly asked my uncle. He asked why I wanted to know where you were, and I said, I don’t have any ulterior motives, just want to see on behalf of my cousin if you’re a match for him. Then, he told me where you were.

He also asked me to tell you he values you because he wants all the families to live in peace and has no bad intentions, just wanted you to consider before rejecting it.

He told me then that once I approached you, you’d guess my intentions. I didn’t believe it then, but now it seems like the old saying is true, ’ginger gets spicier as it ages’.

He also said he wouldn’t overly force you, so you needn’t always avoid him. Anyway, I don’t understand his thoughts, my wish is simply for my cousin to be happy, and for him to find someone he truly loves.

Yes, I really admire my cousin. When I was young, my family wasn’t doing very well, and my uncle wasn’t an official yet.

My dad didn’t care much about the family, only my mom and I were at home. Many things were handled with my aunt and cousin’s help.

I grew up under my cousin’s care, whenever I was bullied at school, he stood up for me.

Even in my relationships, he helped me make decisions. Now, I’ve found someone I like, so I eagerly wish for my cousin to be happy too.

I can see it clearly, my cousin really, really likes you, so I sincerely hope that through my efforts, you can give him a chance.”

After Xia Yingru finished speaking, there was a short silence in the car.

Xia Yingru’s arrival was quietly approved by Chairman Qian, so there was nothing more to question about how she got here. However, this also shows that Chairman Qian has no intention of forcing things step by step.

As for the implication that the Qian Family has their eye on Ying Nuo, it shouldn’t be someone from Vice Chairman Qian’s side, and as for whose it is, only Vice Chairman Qian knows best.

I suppose he’s thought someone might want to use this opportunity to create conflict between him, Wen Jialuo, and others, which is why he specially allowed Xia Yingru to come over.

And Xia Yingru’s simplicity and straightforwardness are precisely the greatest assets that make others believe her.

It’s easy to tell if someone’s pretending, and everyone on the bus can be certain that this Eldest Miss Xia is truly a well-protected good girl.

For her to do such a thing today is already a rare exception for her.
