Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 753: Chapter 453: Help (Part 2)

”You forgot about me again,” Ying Nuo pouted.

”You...,” Luo Ye laughed and gave her a pat, ”You’re really a little vinegar lady, getting jealous over everything.”

”I always keep Nuonuo in mind, haven’t forgotten,” Luo Ping quickly added.

”I was just joking, trying to make you all laugh,” Ying Nuo poked Luo Ye discontentedly, ”You understand me less and less, bad Luoluo. It turns out you’re just a fickle guy who loves the new and ditches the old.”

Luo Ye made a face at her, ”I even offered my own brother to you. What more do you want?”

”You...” Ying Nuo, blushing, glanced at Luo Feng, leaned towards Luo Ye and whispered, ”I’m only in a relationship with Brother Luo Feng because you asked us to, but we’re keeping it pure. Unlike you and Ye Xuan, who have already kissed.”

Luo Ye eyed her sideways, ”Oh, so you saw it?”

”Didn’t see it, just guessed,” Ying Nuo shrugged triumphantly, ”Now, I’m like a detective with sharp insights, nothing escapes my eyes.”

Luo Ye’s eyes darted with mischief: ”So, that day, the day you and my brother had your first kiss...”

Ying Nuo quickly grabbed her, ”What nonsense are you talking about? That never happened, don’t make things up.”

”Ha...” Luo Ping and Liu Feng burst out laughing at her antics.

Ying Nuo cautiously glanced at Luo Feng, who was driving ahead, and whispered, ”I sacrificed myself to make you all laugh. You need to be grateful, understand? You need to be grateful!”

”I’ll let my brother know about your gratitude and have him steal your first kiss.”

”Damn Luoluo!”

The two of them laughed and teased each other in the back.

Liu Feng took the opportunity to nudge Luo Ping, ”Pingping, I heard you used to visit your uncle and aunt’s house, but never in my dreams did I think your uncle is our City Committee Secretary. You’re really good at keeping secrets.”

”I didn’t mean to hide it, just felt that my third uncle’s position is too sensitive, and I can’t cause him any trouble,” Luo Ping sighed. ”To be honest, I wasn’t close to my uncle’s family before.

Even though he’s the most capable in the Luo Family, everyone has gotten used to his support, thinking everything’s a given without showing gratitude, only making demands. If he doesn’t meet those, they’re dissatisfied.

My third uncle has a great temper, so I never felt he was a big official until I graduated and faced the real world. I realized people like my uncle are indeed hard to find.”

Liu Feng nodded: ”You can tell from Luo Feng and Luo Ye’s characters. I’ve met kids from well-off families with my parents.

Not even high-ranking ones, but above the bureau level, I can’t fit in. The look in their eyes clearly shows a sense of distance. People do need comparisons. Luo Ping, having relatives like this is your blessing.”

”I know,” Luo Ping nodded, ”Now, all I can do is not bring them any trouble.”

”Ring ring ring...,”

Liu Feng took out her phone to look: ”It’s a call from my mom.”

”Better answer it,” Luo Ping suggested.

Liu Feng hit the answer button: ”Mom, what’s up?”

”Xiao Feng, when are you coming home?” Mrs. Liu’s voice was eager.

”Mom, is something wrong?” Liu Feng asked in confusion.

”Why can’t I ask when you’ll be home if there’s nothing wrong?” Mrs. Liu said teasingly, then laughed, ”Your Aunt Sun’s family is visiting us as guests. Come back and help me entertain them.”

Liu Feng frowned as she replied, ”Got it.” She hung up the phone hastily before her mom could say more.

”What’s going on?” Luo Ping looked curiously at Liu Feng’s sullen face. Luo Ye and Ying Nuo also stopped fooling around and looked at her: ”Need help?”

Liu Feng took a deep breath, ”This Aunt Sun’s husband is the deputy director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. Her son is five years older than me. Everything about him is fine, except he’s got one flaw: he stutters.

He dated a few girlfriends before, but they all ended with no results. It wasn’t that they minded his stuttering; it was him who found them flawed here or there and broke it off. He’s 28 this year, so the family is anxious.

Aunt Sun suddenly got this idea about me, and my mom, in time, got persuaded. It’s really stressing me out.”

Luo Ping looked at her puzzled: ”Haven’t you told your mom you have a boyfriend?”

”Would I dare? Liu Xiaodong is just a poor graduate with nothing much to his name. His family is from the countryside. If I tell my parents, they’ll probably call ten times a day keeping track of me. It would drive me crazy,”

”What do you plan to do?” Luo Ping asked worriedly.

”My plan now is to delay as much as I can. If worst comes to worst, I’ll turn things right with Liu Xiaodong, we’re both old enough to get married anyway. Once we obtain the marriage certificate, I don’t believe my parents can force us to trade the red book for a green one.”
