Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1579: Chapter 918: Reunion with Old Classmates (Part 4)

”Second Sister actually went?” Li Xiaoning looked impressed, ”Second Sister is really amazing, I thought she was just saying it.”

”Why, did she tell you she was going to find Chairman Qu?”

”Yes, she told me when we went to the mall that night. She also told me to tell Mom and Dad that Chairman Qu is Big Sister’s boyfriend and not to tell Big Sister about it.”

”Then why did you tell me?” Li Xiaoyan glared at her brother, ”Hmph, you didn’t even think about what if Chairman Qu doesn’t help, and you guys made up this lie. How am I supposed to explain it to Mom and Dad?”

”That’s why I couldn’t help but tell Big Sister.”

”What if I hadn’t come?”

”If you hadn’t come, I definitely would have called Big Sister, really.” Li Xiaoning raised his hand in a gesture of swearing, ”I didn’t lie, Big Sister, you know, I’m not someone who doesn’t know what’s important.”

”Alright, I believe you.” Li Xiaoyan sighed softly, ”You all do it for my sake, I know, fine, it’s my fault for being too emotional, I shouldn’t blame you.”

”If it weren’t for us, Big Sister wouldn’t have been delayed until now. By the way...” Li Xiaoning hesitated, looked at Li Xiaoyan, ”Big Sister, aren’t you mad at Sister Wen Jie at all?”

Li Xiaoyan was taken aback, ”Mad? Why should I be mad?”

”Big Sister, you don’t have to pretend, everyone back home knows that back in the day, it was you the Liang family was interested in. If it hadn’t been for Sister Wen Jie’s parents interfering, you’d have married into the Liang family.”

”You know?” This time, Li Xiaoyan was genuinely stunned.

Wen Jie’s husband is Liang Linseng. Back in the day, it was indeed Li Xiaoyan whom the Liang family wanted as a daughter-in-law. This was also the real reason Wen Jie’s parents didn’t allow Li Xiaoyan and Wen Jie to keep in touch.

However, Li Xiaoyan always thought not many people knew about this, but she didn’t expect it to spread so widely, even her brother knew.

So, could it be that Wen Jie really didn’t know? At that moment, she was a bit doubtful.

”Of course!” Li Xiaoning nodded affirmatively, ”Mom and Dad, and Second Sister and I all know about it, but they don’t mention it in front of you because they’re afraid it would upset you.

Moreover, almost everyone in our village knows about it. You know the rumors don’t sound good; some people are even using this to talk.

They say that the Liang family didn’t marry into ours back then because they thought our family wasn’t as upright as the Wen family. This, where it came from, is also worth investigating.”

”Impossible!” Li Xiaoyan shook her head, ”They wouldn’t do that.”

”Big Sister has her answer in her heart. They were able to use such means to cut off your contact with Sister Wen back then, now, they could find ways to continue to tarnish your reputation.

And, I’ve heard, the relationship between Sister Wen Jie and Brother-in-law isn’t too good. Perhaps, that’s the real reason Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen slander Big Sister?”

”Xiaoning...” For the first time, Li Xiaoyan felt that her little brother wasn’t a kid anymore, this matter, he saw... saw so clearly.

If she hadn’t thought about it before, but once her brother told her that they knew it was the Wen family who intercepted it, she understood that this matter couldn’t be unrelated to the Wen family.

So, was Wen Jie’s straightforwardness and ignorance real or fake? Is the pure Wen Jie from back then still there?

”Sis, just pretend you don’t know, have dinner with Sister Wen Jie tonight, you should be able to see some truth.” Li Xiaoning thought for a moment, ”Sis, I want to go with you.”

After a moment of silence, Li Xiaoyan shook her head, ”Forget it, so many years have passed, what does it matter if it’s true or not? They’ve already gotten married, and I don’t have any feelings for Liang Linseng, I’ve never thought about getting married so early. No matter if Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen did it on purpose, I won’t hate them either.”

”I didn’t ask you to hate them, I just hope you face this matter so that the rumors will stop, otherwise, your future happiness will definitely be affected.

Take this incident for example, luckily I overheard Mom and Dad’s conversation and came up with a plan in advance, otherwise what then?

Would Big Sister really listen to Mom and Dad and marry someone randomly, spending her life facing the earth and back to the sky?

If that happens, would you be content? Would you be happy?” Pausing for a moment, Li Xiaoning continued, ”Big Sister, you’re kind, but you have to be kind to the right people.”

”Xiaoning...” Li Xiaoyan looked at her brother, a sense of unfamiliarity in her eyes, when did the little brat become so mature?

”Sis, don’t look at me like that, poor kids grow up early, it’s just you’ve always seen me as a child.” Li Xiaoning’s eyes showed a determination not typical of someone his age, ”I have to grow up early, all these years, it’s been Big Sister shielding us from the wind and rain, from now on, let me shield Big Sister from the wind and rain.”

”Xiaoning...” Li Xiaoyan’s lips curved into a big smile, ”I’ll be waiting, and I’m proud to have a brother like you! I also promise you, I won’t just settle for anyone in marriage, no matter what the outcome this time, I won’t settle!”

”Good!” Li Xiaoning stepped forward and hugged his big sister, ”Sis, you’ll find a good brother-in-law who treats you well, I know, Chairman Qu isn’t someone we can aim for.

But, Sis is so great, there will definitely be a good man who wants to protect Sis. By the way, Sis, how do you feel about our Teacher Wang?”

”You little brat, just saying you’re mature and you already think you’re really mature?” Li Xiaoyan pushed him away in exasperation, ”If you keep talking nonsense, see how I deal with you!”

”Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore, okay? I’m just worried for you, and besides, Teacher Wang is really good.

He’s quite popular in our school, but he’s someone who is quite persistent, he doesn’t pay attention to girls he doesn’t like.

So, Sis, marrying a man like that, you would definitely be happy. Sis, I suggest you consider it, after all, I’ve known Teacher Wang for so long, and it’s the first time I noticed him talking so much to a girl.

I guess he must like Sis, you have to trust my judgment, with things like this, it’s a matter of men understanding men better.”

”You? A man?” Li Xiaoyan raised an eyebrow at her brother, bursting out laughing, then straightened her expression, ”But then again, my brother is quite a man now. Otherwise, why would there be little girls staring at him without blinking?

Come on, be honest with your sister, that girl you competed with, right, the one named Lin Yuanyuan, what’s your relationship with her?”

”Just classmates.” Li Xiaoning shrugged, ”Haven’t you heard of the saying ’the rarer a thing is, the more it is worth’, Sis?”

”What do you mean?” Li Xiaoyan looked utterly puzzled.

”It means, when there are three students and only one boy, the boy becomes particularly popular.” Li Xiaoning said with pride.

”Pfft!” Naturally, Li Xiaoyan didn’t believe her brother’s nonsense, but seeing that he didn’t want to talk more, she didn’t press further.

She had faith in her brother. Even if there were girls who liked him, he would handle it well. Not to mention, just by what he said earlier, it shows he’s matured enough.
