Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1503: Chapter 881

”If we can end up together, I can promise to fulfill your aunt’s request, but...” Liu Xing paused, then continued, ”But in the Liu Family, it’s just me as the mainstay, so I have to discuss it with my mother.”

”As long as you’re willing to agree, that’s fine.” Xia Yingru flashed a brilliant smile, ”I certainly know you’re the only mainstay in the Liu Family. If the first child is adopted by my aunt, we can still have the second child, or perhaps my aunt can help request to have a few more children; I believe, for the sake of my aunt, it will be allowed.”

As for my aunt’s side, she won’t have any prejudice against you. She hopes for me to be with her trusty assistant just because that assistant listens to her entirely.

In her view, excellent men generally wouldn’t agree to such unreasonable requests, but if it were someone with poorer genes, she wouldn’t pay any attention either. Anyway, my aunt is just a troublemaker with way too many principles; otherwise, she wouldn’t still be single until now.”

”Scientific maniacs are generally like that.” With the problem resolved, Luo Ye felt relieved. With Liu Xing’s situation, meeting such a devoted woman is truly a blessing; otherwise, he would forever be trapped within his own emotional circle.

He’s not like Feng Tianzhi, who dares to love and speak openly, and can only silently keep everything inside; over time, it would just make people more sullen, less spirited.

People often are like this; when they fall in love with someone, they might think they’ll never feel the same for anyone else. But truly opening up and interacting more with others can lead to growing affection over time.

She could see that, over the past few days, Liu Xing’s attitude toward Xia Yingru had clearly changed. Maybe he hadn’t realized it himself, but from an outsider’s perspective, the difference was evident.

”Actually, my aunt also deserves pity; on the surface, she seems so glamorous, but when returning home, she’s alone with a cold pot and stove. When she falls ill, she can only endure alone, and if she can’t handle it, she calls my mom.

When I was little, my parents were busy with work, so they sent me to stay with my aunt. Over time, she became quite dependent on me.

Sometimes I can’t even tell if she’s the elder or I am; she doesn’t know how to take care of herself at all and is entirely like a child.”

The leaders suggested hiring a nanny for her, but she can’t accept having unfamiliar people at home. So far, the people entering her home were only me, my mom, and my grandma’s family. Outsiders talking business with her, it’s all done in the office...”

Listening to Xia Yingru rambling about her aunt, Luo Ye and Liu Xing were visibly troubled. Xia Yingru was already childlike in temperament; if her aunt were even more childish, it was truly unimaginable.

...

Wen Family Hall.

After greeting everyone, Yue Qin sat bolt upright on the sofa, appearing tense. On closer inspection, you’d find that she was trembling slightly.

Old Mrs. Wen held her hand with a warm smile: ”Xiao Yue, once you’re back from your honeymoon, bring your mother-in-law to visit us. From now on, treat this place as your maternal home. If Ye’er and Xiao Qi aren’t around and you have something you can’t solve, just give the family a call.”

Yue Qin smiled gratefully: ”Thank you, Grandma.”

”Oh, dear child, no need to thank. The marriage was arranged from our home, so of course we’re one family. A family shouldn’t treat each other as outsiders, right?”

”Yes.” Yue Qin became even more anxious. When Luo Ye suggested the marriage be arranged from the Wen Family, she only hesitated briefly before agreeing.

After all, according to her hometown customs, a girl must marry from a family that matches the Eight Characters, or else the daughter-in-law would not be considered properly married.

She didn’t have a maternal home; during her last marriage, no one was willing to help her. So, she could only marry from her own small shabby house to the Qi Family.

This time, she genuinely wanted to marry this person. She cared so much about this wedding, so even though she felt the situation was slightly improper, she still agreed.

But she never expected the Wen Family to be such a distinguished household. When she arrived, she took a few glances and felt that the Wen Mansion was nearly as big as her village.

Is this an average family? If comparing this to ancient times, this would be the residence of a marquis or minister; how could she have the status to marry from here?

She was now furious with herself beyond belief, and couldn’t help but be angry at Qi Xing. Why didn’t he stop this? Could it be he didn’t realize the Wen Family was such a household?
