Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1518: Chapter 886: Triple Combo Chapter_5

If you truly care about the Wen Family and the Ye Family, you could privately have a chat with the elder, or you could talk to Great Grandpa, who is currently staying at the Wen Family’s house. He was supposed to come over, but he stayed behind because he was worried no one would be there to look after the house.

Anyway, I think having a talk with any of the elders is better than discussing this with me. If the solution is for me to pretend not to marry into the Ye Family, well then, this kind of thing may happen again in the future.

Is it possible that next time, I’ll have to pretend to divorce Ye Xuan and fall for someone else? Given the status of the Wen and Ye families, it would be laughable, even if it were just an act, right?”

”Alright, I won’t make things difficult for you anymore.” Vice Chairman Qian waved his hand helplessly, ”Thank you for your hospitality today. I’ll figure this out myself. I hope that one day when the truth comes to light, you won’t regret it.”

”Dad, can’t you just tell us what’s going on?” Seeing her dad rarely show such an expression, Qian Xia became a bit anxious and started to believe what her old man was saying might be true.

”If I could say, I would have said it already.” Vice Chairman Qian chuckled bitterly, ”If I were to reveal it now, it would do no good for you all. Never mind, I’ll find another way.”

”Some things, just because they’re not said when they should be, it creates a mess that’s hard to clean up. Of course, the chief sticking to his principles is right; I won’t meddle indiscreetly.”

”Xiao Luo, you’re good at using reverse psychology.” Vice Chairman Qian couldn’t help but chuckle, ”Now I think, ruining my own reputation to protect the Wen Family and the Ye Family is worth it.”

”Can you stop keeping us in suspense?” Luo Ye couldn’t help but roll her eyes. This old gentleman was just whetting people’s appetite for more, speaking half-truths.

”Alright, I’ve stayed here long enough. I should head back.” Vice Chairman Qian said as he stood up, patting Qian Xia, ”Son, since you’ve met a girl you like, go pursue her.”

”Dad...” Qian Xia hesitated for a moment, then asked, ”You mean, I don’t have to pretend to like Luo Ye anymore?”

”No need.” Vice Chairman Qian waved his hand, ”Xiao Luo is right; some things don’t necessarily have to be solved in this way. Actually, at this point, I’ve almost achieved my goal, whether you two like each other or not doesn’t matter much anymore.”

”Your words are contradictory, you know?” Qian Xia looked at his father speechlessly, ”Listening to you earlier, it was like if I didn’t pretend to be in a relationship with Major Luo, the Wen and Ye families would face utter ruin.

But now, from what you said, it seems like our relationship has no real impact on this matter at all. Dad, could you make me any more confused?”

”Haha..., thanks to Luo Ye’s reminder, I realized I was stuck in a dead end, it’s a matter of ebb and flow, don’t worry.” He patted Qian Xia’s shoulder and strode out energetically.

Luo Ye gestured politely, ”Mr. Qian, after you.”

”Thank you.” As Qian Xia walked out, he looked at Luo Ye, ”Aren’t you curious about what my dad is up to?”

”What’s the use of being curious? I can’t read minds or look inside his head.” Luo Ye spread his hands, ”As he said, let’s just go with the flow and see what happens.”

”True, Major Luo, about that...” Qian Xia smiled sheepishly, ”I still need your help moving forward.”

Luo Ye looked at him sideways, ”Are you talking about your feelings for Luo Lian?”

”Yes, although I haven’t started pursuing her yet, from first impressions alone, she seems quite aloof and doesn’t appear to trust easily when it comes to relationships.

With a girl like that, if she doesn’t have a trusted friend to help, it might be hard to win her over. Of course, you can choose not to help me for a while, test me, and then assist me if you think I’ve passed, how about that?”

Luo Ye thought about it and nodded, ”I’ll consider it.”

”Thanks in advance.”

Seeing Qian Xia grinning so much his eyes almost formed slits, Luo Ye also found herself smiling, thinking that if Lianlian actually ended up liking him, it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

After all, it seems now that Vice Chairman Qian isn’t as rigid as he usually appears, or maybe this was just his protective disguise. But why does he trust her so much, showing his true self so easily? Isn’t he afraid she might expose him?

Thinking this, Luo Ye furrowed her brows slightly.

Qian Xia, having been observing her expression, immediately asked, ”What’s wrong, is there a problem?”
