Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1467: Chapter 858: Warming Him (Part 2)

”Yo, you’re not dumb at all.” Xue Fengqi couldn’t help but chuckle, ”I thought you were really just an innocent high school student.”

”Come on, a grown man making fun of a girl, do you have any shame at all?” Xia Yingru suddenly realized her situation after speaking, immediately chuckled, ”I took you as my classmate, and it just slipped out.”

”Don’t worry, I won’t argue with you and won’t throw you halfway.” Xue Fengqi glanced at her, ”What do you plan to do next?”

”I’ll follow behind Luo Ye until she gets so annoyed she has no choice but to accompany me to see my cousin.” Xia Yingru, looking fearless, glanced at Luo Ye, ”I’m telling you, since I’ve latched onto you, it’s not going to be easy to shake me off.” She let out a chuckle, ”This is what they call being too clever for your own good. If you hadn’t exposed my identity back then, I wouldn’t have dared to do this now.”

”You’re not dumb.” Luo Ye gave her a glare and remained silent. Indeed, now that she knew her identity, it was not easy to leave her alone.

Not to mention, her visit was known by Vice Chairman Qian, and if anything happened to Xia Yingru after being left behind, then the warmth between the Wen and Qian families would really turn cold.

Xia Yingru smiled smugly, ”My mom always says that silly people have their own luck. By the way, let me show you a photo of my boyfriend.” With that, she took out a small photo from her wallet and put it in front of Luo Ye, ”Look, don’t we match well?”

Luo Ye glanced at it and immediately sat up straight, ”When did you two get together?”

”We’ve been official for about half a month now.” Xia Yingru eyed Luo Ye, ”It seems like you know him?” She patted her forehead, ”Silly me again, he’s also a student at GF University, so of course, you know him.”

The guy in the photo was Liu Xing, with Xia Yingru’s head leaning against his, looking very happy. Seeing him happy, Luo Ye was naturally pleased, but now she couldn’t figure out if Liu Xing getting involved with this had anything to do with her. After thinking about it, she asked, ”How did you meet? How long has it been?”

”Why are you interrogating me?” Xia Yingru pouted, ”I kindly showed you my boyfriend’s photo, and you’re interrogating me just like that?”

”You don’t have to say anything.” Luo Ye closed her eyes.

”Alright, I’ll tell you.” Xia Yingru reluctantly began to narrate, ”I met him four years ago, his father had just gotten into an accident, and he was in a bad mood, just sitting dazed by the sea.

And I happened to be traveling to Island City with classmates, and we asked him if he could be our guide, and he agreed.

He was my type, but no matter how many hints I gave, he always played dumb, so I was about to give up.

Before giving up, I wanted to make one last effort, so I flew to Sha City to find him, and unexpectedly, this time he treated me much better, showing great care and attentiveness.

I asked him why he had such a big change, and he said he just grew up and learned to cherish things.

Then, I took him to meet my parents. My dad was not happy, but my mom thought he was quite nice, and I ended up arguing with my dad about him.

My dad said that someone like him would never turn over a new leaf in his life and that I should find a child from a well-off family with no blemishes. But I don’t understand, his father made a mistake, not him, so why put the blame on him?”

Listening to Xia Yingru’s story, Luo Ye’s heart didn’t relax but instead became quite tense.

She hadn’t contacted Liu Xing for a long time, and the rumors about the Qian family forcing her were rampant, so as a Fierce Tiger Team Member, it wasn’t surprising for him to hear about it.

Concealing her inner worry, Luo Ye gave Xia Yingru a smile, ”My family and Liu Xing’s family are sort of longtime acquaintances, so I asked a bit more to explain clearly when the elders inquire.”

”Are you feeling guilty?” Xia Yingru scrutinized Luo Ye, ”With your personality, if you weren’t feeling guilty, how could you explain things to me?”

”How long have you known me? Do you really know me?” Luo Ye gave her a sidelong glance, ”You dare to say something like ’with my personality,’ even Sister Hong Yu doesn’t dare say it so confidently, seriously?”

”Understanding a person, first impression is the most accurate.” Xia Yingru pursed her lips, ”Just admit you’re feeling guilty, you don’t have to say it because I already know, the Liu Family definitely wanted you to be their daughter-in-law before.

I think, Liu Xing must have always liked you, that’s why he ignored me, and now seeing you’re getting married, he gave up and naturally accepted me. It must be like this.”

Well, Xia Yingru’s guess hit the target. It just goes to show, never underestimate anyone, sometimes, those seemingly straightforward and naive people just don’t like to think hard, but when it comes to their interests, their brain works faster than anyone else’s.

”You’re overthinking it.” Luo Ye said, then turned her gaze towards the window, ”If you truly like him, just care for him more. After the Liu family’s incident, his heart has never warmed up.

A warm companionship might truly warm his heart. I believe you can really bring warmth to him.”

Although saying that, even she didn’t know if this wish could really come true. When it came to Liu Xing, she always had a hard time describing her feelings.

There’s guilt, debt, gratitude — all sorts of emotions, but in reality, he had always been the one giving.
