Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 155: Chapter 106-107: Disputes / Coincidence

Xiao Lou’s guilty look prompted Luo Ye to chuckle: ”My lips are sealed, Uncle Lou, don’t worry.” He casually mimed zipping his mouth and then lowered his voice: ”But according to the judicial process, a verdict wouldn’t come so quickly, right?”

”Good security work, I suppose. I heard he was double-checked some time ago and has been said to be on an inspection tour ever since...” Xiao Lou chuckled: ”What I hear, I toss aside. Just make sure Mayor Luo doesn’t find out I’m telling you this, okay?”

Luo Ye pretended to sulk: ”I wouldn’t dare to ask my dad about this kind of stuff. He would kill me. Thanks for letting me know, Uncle Lou.”

”It’s my pleasure, it’s my pleasure.” Xiao Lou’s eyes squinted with a smile: ”We’re honored that you think highly of us.”

From afar, Luo Ye saw another truck approaching and hurriedly said goodbye: ”Uncle Lou, it’s getting late, I’m heading home now, goodbye!”

”Goodbye, goodbye! Hehe...”

”Xiao Lou, what have you been yakking about with the Mayor’s daughter? Your grin’s stretching ear to ear.” Xiao Yang poked his head out from the security room’s window, no one else in sight, his face full of curiosity.

Xiao Lou shoved him back: ”Why should I tell you what we talked about? The truck’s coming soon, be professional.”

”Fine, keep it to yourself. But if you’re coveting swan meat, like a toad desires, I’d advise you to save your breath; that’s not your place,” Xiao Yang grumbled, rubbing his head.

”Don’t worry, I’m not that vain.” Xiao Lou turned and entered the security room: ”I know my place, and you needn’t concern yourself with that.”

Xiao Yang mockingly patted his shoulder: ”Good that you know. But the two kids from the Luo Family sure have good temperaments. They don’t look down on us.”

”Yeah, how many in this compound really respect us? Eyes don’t lie.” As they spoke, the truck pulled up to the gate, and a man around forty jumped down: ”Raise the barrier, quickly.”

Xiao Lou pointed to the register on the windowsill: ”Sorry for the trouble, but could you please sign the register?”

The man glanced disdainfully at them: ”Looking down on people, huh? Let me tell you, my sister’s family will come back, don’t believe those rumors, you’ll regret it.”

Xiao Lou explained with a smile: ”Sir, you’ve misunderstood. It’s a rule of this compound. We have to register whenever a family moves out, we ask for your understanding.”

The man scoffed: ”Humph! Would you do this if it were the Yang Family or the Luo Family moving out?”

”Yes, we treat everyone the same,” Xiao Lou said firmly: ”Sir, please cooperate with our work.”

”Gatekeeping dogs!” The man spat: ”Full of yourselves, huh?”

”Please behave yourself!” Xiao Lou stepped out of the security room, standing erect: ”Please sign in, so as not to delay other vehicles.”

”We won’t be signing today; what are you going to do about it?” Wang Wei stepped out of the driver’s seat, fury written all over his face: ”Dare to claim you don’t judge people by their status? What’s this about treating the Yang Family and Luo Family the same – bullshit, only when they’re in trouble do you do that, right?”

Xiao Lou turned to Xiao Yang, his face red with anger: ”Call Captain Zhang.”

Wang Wei glared and pulled out his phone: ”Uncle Qi... Brother Zhang... Uncle Li...” Five minutes later, his phone was slammed to the ground, having truly understood the fickleness of relationships. All the uncles and brothers who used to call him affectionately, once they heard his name, immediately made excuses and hung up on him. Anyone but a fool would understand what this means.

”Xiao Wei, there’s no need to take it out on your phone. Those people will regret looking down on us, and there’s still your grandpa...” The middle-aged man put the shattered phone back together and pressed the power button several times—to no response, he shook his head, resigned: ”It’s broken, we’ll see if it can be fixed another day.”

Wang Wei, who had originally intended to sign and leave quietly, caught a glimpse of Luo Feng standing at the entrance looking at him with what seemed like sympathy, which immediately irritated him. He threw the pen down, and slammed the notebook: ”I said I will not sign.”

Just then, Captain Zhang arrived with a few others, looking at Wang Wei sternly: ”Xiao Wang, these are the rules of the compound; you’ve lived here for so long, you know how to behave. If you don’t want to sign, ask your driver to move the vehicle back and park by the roadside where it won’t cause obstruction. Whenever you’re ready to sign, you can leave.”

Wang Wei’s face turned crimson: ”What if I don’t move or sign? Zhang Zuodong, when you used to bring gifts to my dad, why didn’t you call me Xiao Wang? Let me tell you, my grandpa will definitely clear my dad’s name, so think carefully about your actions.”
