Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 247: Chapter 147: Attending the Celebration (3)

Luo Ye’s eyes flickered with surprise, ”Say it.”

”You know, Liang Jing and I are from the same hometown. However, my family’s financial situation is better than hers, so naturally, I’m luckier than she is. I’m aware that she’s somewhat jealous of me.

Once, I really disliked her because she had a crush on Luo Feng. But later on, I thought about it—everyone has the right to pursue happiness. I truly don’t have the right to criticize her, so I forgave her.

What surprised me is, she suddenly left Island City. A few days ago, I received a letter from her, saying if I ever had the chance to meet you, to ask you one thing for her—whether she could return to Island City.

She also said she promises not to see Luo Feng again, and made me swear not to ask Luo Feng or let him know about it. She said I can only ask you directly. I was worried about when I might see you, but it’s such a coincidence.”

Seeing Luo Ye remaining silent, Zhuang Meili hesitated before continuing: ”Luo Ye, I don’t know what happened between you all, but she’s really quite pitiful. Her family locked her up for dowry money. If it weren’t for her brother, she’d probably have been forced into marriage by now.

For her, it’s better to be struggling outside than to dare to go back and ask her family for help. I guess she couldn’t find a suitable job in Wei City and had no choice but to ask for your help. Could you... not hold it against her?”

Luo Ye glanced indifferently at Zhuang Meili: ”I wasn’t holding anything against her to begin with. She can walk on her own two legs. Just remember what she herself said, or she’ll face the consequences!” After walking a few steps, she turned back to add, ”Some things—better not to meddle if you don’t understand the situation.”

Zhuang Meili stood there stunned, watching Luo Ye’s figure vanish, not understanding where she went wrong. After all, shouldn’t her selfless help to a good friend be praised?

”Is this Dongdong who’s supposed to replace the missing actor?” Luo Ye returned to find Dongdong getting makeup applied in a seat.

Luo Feng sighed helplessly: ”Yeah, that girl’s grandpa had been persecuted for acting in the past and has a shadow over it. No matter how the family persuaded him, it was no use. He even suffered high blood pressure from the agitation. We had no choice, no time left, so Dongdong is reluctantly dressed up as a girl.”

Luo Ye looked puzzled: ”Where did you find her?”

”Her cousin is one of the key members of the student council. When we said we needed a young actor, she volunteered to handle it. Who knew it would turn into this?”

”Why didn’t the key member show up when there was trouble?”

”She sneaked home to persuade her, but without success, and informed us last minute that she couldn’t come. She’s probably on her way back now.”

”That key member, really unreliable. By the way, there aren’t many lines, right?”

”Just two. The walk-on role is also easy. She just needs to be cheerful and stand next to the lead. The lead is Qu Yue. Later, tell him to deliberately lead Dongdong.”

Xing Nong crossed his arms, scrutinizing Dongdong: ”But, does this look like a little girl? Why do I feel like it looks more like the Red Boy?”

The makeup girl rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction: ”How does it not look like a little girl? I’m not finished yet!”

Luo Ye frowned: ”Forget it, I’ll do the makeup. These cheeks look like they’ve got frostbite. I think Red Boy is quite fitting, but don’t turn it into the Red Boy from Journey to the West and ruin the classic image.”

”Who are you? How can you speak like that?” The girl looked at Luo Feng: ”Luo Feng, can you tell this nobody to stop making irrelevant comments?”

”I am this little boy’s sister. I don’t care what you turn others into, just don’t ruin our kid’s face, or we won’t participate in the performance. You deal with it.”

”Liu Yan, go busy yourself somewhere else, this is my sister. Her skills are definitely better than yours.”

”Luo Feng, your sister is really pretty. Sorry, Little Luo, I was blind not to recognize Taishan. Please don’t take it to heart.”

Seeing that smile blossoming like a flower, Luo Ye saw through her—it’s her brother’s admirer. She probably saw her and Xing Nong as love rivals earlier, with pretty poor judgment. The real love rival, Ying Nuo Classmate, was shining brightly beside her.

Qu Yue, who rushed over, suddenly stopped in his tracks when he saw Luo Ye helping Dongdong with makeup. The ordinary blue denim and white shirt on her body looked exceptionally pure and elegant. Her focused expression, slightly furrowed eyebrows, and glowing, moist skin... Qu Yue found it tough to move his gaze from Luo Ye’s face, and laughed at himself mockingly, when had he also become so lacking in self-control?

Busy day today, Nu’an has thoroughly tucked in, facepalm. I owe two thousand words; I’ll make up for them in tomorrow’s update. (To be continued...for further updates, please visit www.. There are more Chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!)
