Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 56: Chapter 56 Almost Made a Mistake

”Ye’er, what’s going on? Feng’er is your brother after all, the least you could show is some respect.” Luo Zhenggang stared at Luo Ye dissatisfiedly: ”I just praised you for being sensible, and now you change like this?”

”How have I changed? Clearly, it’s brother being blindly kind-hearted, and yet he complains I’m cold-blooded...” As Luo Ye spoke, tears began to pitter-patter down, and Wen Xin, upon seeing this, quickly hugged her: ”Don’t cry, don’t cry. Feng’er, how did you bully your sister?”

Luo Feng was dumbfounded as he watched Luo Ye sobbing heavily: Seriously, what did he do? How did he end up aggrieving his little sister like this?

”What exactly happened?” Luo Zhenggang looked towards Luo Feng: ”Feng’er, you tell us!”

After Luo Feng explained the whole situation, Luo Zhenggang and Wen Xin exchanged bewildered glances; was this little matter really worth crying over? Considering her recent behavior, something didn’t seem right.

Luo Zhenggang stared at Luo Feng with displeasure: ”Are you sure there isn’t something else that you’re deliberately hiding from us? Evading important issues is not what a man does.”

”There’s nothing! Really nothing!” Luo Feng waved his hands in denial, urgently reddening in the face and neck: ”Ye’er, just say something, will you? Brother didn’t do anything to you, okay?”

With tears brimming in her eyes and a face full of grievance, Luo Ye complained: ”Didn’t do anything? You raised your voice at me, kept a stern face the whole way, and didn’t talk to me!”

”Pfft!” Wen Xin, who was feeling rather sympathetic towards her daughter, couldn’t help but laugh, and a twitch appeared at the corner of Luo Zhenggang’s mouth, a full smile in his eyes. Luo Feng, scratching his head, was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: ”I was afraid Ye’er wouldn’t want to hear me talk, if I had known I would have spoken.”

Luo Ye also felt embarrassed about herself; how could she have felt so aggrieved just now? Covering her face, she mumbled in a stifled voice: ”You’re not allowed to laugh!”

”Not laughing, not laughing!” Wen Xin hugged her daughter: ”This is the Ye’er that Mom finds familiar. Mom thought my Ye’er was going to become a female warrior, hehe...”

Still dissatisfied, Luo Ye muttered: ”You said no laughing!” After the commotion, her mood improved a lot. The vulnerability she had just felt stemmed from seeing a hint of pity in her brother’s eyes, directed towards Liang Jing—the girl who threw the coin in the jar was Liang Jing, and she saw it, but what could she say? That someone is pretentious? It would only make Luo Feng think she was cruel.

She had always been quietly worried about her brother’s relationship with Liang Jing, especially today after attending the birthday party and running into Liu Xing and Yang Xing, her worries grew even stronger. Sometimes, liking a certain type of person, even if the time and the place changed, the feeling seemed to be the same.

However, even if Liang Jing wouldn’t be used by Liu Zhengxing and wouldn’t harm her brother, she couldn’t accept it. She firmly believed that certain things deep down wouldn’t change.

Ye’er, what are you pondering about? Your eyes are rolling around?” Wen Xin smiled and smoothed her daughter’s slightly disheveled hair: ”Tell Mom and Dad, why do you want to apply for the military academy?”

Before Luo Ye could speak, Luo Zhenggang spoke first: ”Ye’er, no matter the reason, Dad doesn’t approve of you applying for the military academy. With your current grades, going to an obscure military academy is not as practical as going to a second-tier university. If it’s about a key university, that’s probably a pipe dream. Is Dad right?”

”Dad, Mom, I’ve already made up my mind. This is my dream!” Luo Ye straightened her back and looked steadfastly at her parents: ”Based on my recent performance, you should be clear that I’m not acting on a whim. I will never do something I’m not sure of. I will work hard to get into the best military academy. So please, believe in me, encourage me, support me, and do not dampen my spirit!”

”Ye’er, the military academy is very tough, you’re still young...” Wen Xin’s gaze flickered, continuing: ”Moreover, the best military academies are far from us. I’m really worried about you, being a girl and all!”

”Mom, if I decide to apply, I will aim for the best GF University. It’s just over two hours away by plane. If Mom misses me, you can come visit. I can also fly back during the holidays!” Luo Ye quickly reassured her mom, curious about what her mom said earlier. But guessing that even if she asked, her mom would not tell her, mmm, she would find a way during the holidays to visit Grandpa and probe for some information, to see if Grandpa might know some inside story.

The grudge against Liu Zhengxing was a fight to the death, and she wouldn’t easily forgive and forget grievances with others. However, after some reflection and sorting out her thoughts about her maternal grandfather’s family during this time, she felt that she might have been too quick to judge in her past life.

Some people who had harmed the Luo Family met with mysterious misfortunes successively, likely the work of her maternal grandfather’s family. After she was taken away by Jiang Zheng, she changed her name and identity, and to prevent anyone from tracing her whereabouts, Jiang Zheng erased all her original records. To achieve this, Jiang Zheng used his vast network of connections. Luo Ye felt only gratitude and guilt towards Jiang Zheng—with such care and sacrifices in her previous life, she would repay them in this life.
