Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 687: Chapter 403: A Chance Encounter

Ye Xuan glanced in the rearview mirror at Luo Ye and Luo Lian whispering to each other. ”Ye’er, let’s drop Star Manipulating Moonlight off at home first. It’s been a semester, the elders must be missing her.”

”Okay, let’s drop Yao Yao off first and then Qiu’er. That makes more sense.” Luo Ye poked Yaoguang. ”Demon and Qiu, you guys guide the way.”

Yaoguang nodded. ”Alright, let’s visit the elders first. Tomorrow, we’ll gather at Master’s villa. Can’t be too unfilial.”

Xing Nong turned around and chuckled. ”Oh right, I never told you guys, but my parents are also at Grandpa’s house now.”

Luo Ye pulled out a needle for a joke, scaring Xing Nong who quickly ducked his head and begged for mercy. ”I was just worried you guys would send me back home.”

Luo Lian helplessly said, ”You guys, don’t change things on my account. If you keep this up, I’ll really need to think twice before doing anything in the future.”

Xing Nong quickly nodded. ”From now on, everyone should just do whatever needs to be done, no need to avoid anything.”

...

On the flagstone path of Split Wood Yard, Mr. Mo leaned on a crutch, wandering back and forth. The noodle shop’s Boss Lady stuck her head out and called, ”Mr. Mo, you’ve been wandering around here for the past few days. Are you waiting for your grandson to come home?”

”Granddaughter, I’m waiting for my granddaughter.” Mr. Mo emphasized.

”Mr. Mo, that’s not how you used to talk,” teased the owner of another shop as several elderly men playing cards nearby burst into laughter.

”My granddaughter is better than a grandson...” Mr. Mo pointed his crutch at the crowd. ”From now on, whoever dares to say Yaoguang is a boy, don’t blame me for not being merciful with this stick.”

”Old buddy, you still have quite the temper, but Yaoguang is really promising. In our neighborhood, she’s second to none.”

”Exactly, she’s been smart since she was little. Old buddy, you’re blessed.”

The agreement of the crowd displeased one of the elderly men, who threw down his cards. ”Are we playing cards or flattering others? No matter how good your granddaughter is, she will belong to another family in the future. What does it have to do with her maternal home?”

”Old Liu, are you jealous?” Mr. Mo mocked with a laugh. ”Envy won’t help; my granddaughter is accomplished, no matter who she marries in the future, she’ll always be my granddaughter, and that’s unchangeable.”

Old Liu bristled. ”Who’s jealous of you? My grandson also got into GF University. Why would I be jealous of you?”

”Your grandson got admitted too?” Mr. Mo retorted incredulously as other elders looked at Old Liu in surprise.

Hesitating a bit, Old Liu then said, ”I meant my eldest son’s grandson.”

”Wasn’t he in jail?” muttered another elderly man. Old Liu bellowed out and pushed him down. ”Who’s in jail? What nonsense are you spouting? My grandson is well and studying at school, you loudmouth, watch me tear your mouth apart...”

The elder shoved to the ground got up and lunged: ”Do you think you’re still that all-powerful emperor? Who do you think you are, acting like a big bad wolf? Lucky that heaven sees everything, otherwise your eldest son would still be framing loyal people.”

”My eldest son was wronged, you old bastard, I’m done with you.” The two elders immediately scuffled, with others chiming in trying to break them apart.

The two relentless elders fought unforgivingly; those trying to separate them took several punches. Mr. Mo also ended up being pushed onto the ground...

Just then, Luo Ye and others arrived in their car, and Yaoguang shouted urgently, ”Director, stop the car, that’s my grandpa who fell down.”

The moment the car stopped, Yaoguang rushed out and knelt beside Mr. Mo. ”Grandpa, are you hurt anywhere?”

”Xiaoguang?” Grandpa looked at his granddaughter joyfully and touched her military uniform, tears glinting in his eyes: ”Good, you look like a real soldier!”

While talking, Luo Ye and others got out of the car too and greeted Mr. Mo, urging him not to get up hastily.

Luo Ye, as a half-trained doctor, checked places like Mr. Mo’s legs, hips, and ankles to make sure everything was fine before helping Mr. Mo to his feet.

Meanwhile, Jiu Jiu and Qiuqiu separated the two fighting elders who reluctantly still seemed eager to dive back into the fray. Jiu Jiu gave them a chilly glance, causing them to stop dead in their tracks, reflexively rubbing their wrists where they had just been pinched, still sore...

Old Liu, seeing Luo Ye supporting Mr. Mo, hesitated, then straightened up and asked rather importantly, ”Ye’er, what are you doing here?”
