Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 760: Chapter 459: Regret/Shock

Yanyan hastily defended: ”I... I... I’m not... not angry.”

Luo Ye sympathetically rubbed his forehead, wondering why Ying Nuo’s scare seemed to have worsened Yanyan’s stutter, which had slightly improved before.

Sun Xian looked nervously at Luo Zhenggang and Wen Xin: ”Secretary, Madam, it’s all my fault. Yanyan was harmed by me. I promise I’ll change, and Yanyan too. We won’t judge people anymore.”

Yan Shaozheng frowned, glanced at the mother and son, and stood up: ”Secretary, Madam, I’ve failed to manage my family; it’s really embarrassing.”

Luo Zhenggang waved his hand: ”We’ve already discussed this, let’s not dwell on it anymore.” Then he turned to Ye’er and Feng’er, ”Ye’er, Feng’er, this is Uncle Yan.”

”Greetings Young Master Luo, Greetings Miss Luo.” Before Luo Ye and Luo Feng could greet, Yan Shaozheng respectfully greeted them first.

After Yan Shaozheng finished speaking, Sun Xian quickly followed: ”Miss Luo, Young Master Luo, I’m truly sorry. Please forgive us; don’t be bothered by us ignorant frogs in a well.”

”Miss... Miss... Luo...”

Seeing Yanyan struggling again to express himself, Luo Ye hurriedly waved his hand: ”That matter is over, everyone let’s not worry about it anymore.”

”Yes, we aren’t bothered by it.” Luo Feng politely smiled at Yan Shaozheng, ”Uncle Yan, please have a seat. We are the younger generation, no need to be so formal.”

”Yes, yes.” Yan Shaozheng responded repeatedly, looking at Luo Zhenggang, ”Secretary, your son and daughter are truly exceptional; you and Madam are very lucky.”

Luo Zhenggang waved his hand: ”They’re alright.” Though he said they’re alright, his unconcealed smile showed his genuine pride.

”Seeing Young Master Luo and Miss Luo so approachable, I’m really feeling ashamed.” Sun Xian sighed, ”I really understand how ridiculously wrong I was. Secretary, please watch my actions in the future.”

”Alright, alright, let’s end our statement session here.” Luo Zhenggang waved his hand, ”Everyone sit down and talk properly. Ye’er, Feng’er, Nuonuo, Pingping, if you have something to discuss, just head to the room.”

”Yes, Dad.”

”Yes, Third Uncle.”

”Yes, Uncle.”

”Chirp chirp chirp...”

”Hmm hum hum...”

Several people almost responded in unison, Dou Dou and Song Qiu’er joined in the fun. Luo Ye amusingly kicked Song Qiu’er’s chubby butt: ”Are you really a dog? All you do is ’hmm hum hum’ all day.”

”Hmm hum hum...” Song Qiu raised his plump big head, with eyes full of grievance staring at Luo Ye. That look softened Ying Nuo’s heart; he quickly bent down to hold it: ”Come, let Nuonuo hold you, ignore the bad Luoluo.”

”Hmm hum hum...” Song Qiu nestled into Ying Nuo’s arms, lying there motionless.

Luo Ye patted the furry big head: ”Ah, you know who’s the future mistress of this house now? Little thing, such a traitor!”

”Hmm hum hum...” The ball felt again unjustly wronged.

Luo Zhenggang glared at his daughter: ”Ye’er, stop messing around.”

”Yes, sir!” Luo Ye seriously saluted her dad, turned and pushed Ying Nuo and Luo Ping towards the bedroom, ”Uncle Yan, I’m going in too.” Luo Feng politely greeted Yan Shaozheng and followed them inside.

”These kids.” Wen Xin shook her head full of smiles, looking at the Yan family, ”Don’t mind, they’re spoiled.”

Sun Xian waved repeatedly: ”Not at all, not at all. They’re wise and full of spirit; such kids are hard to find even with a lantern. At that time, I was truly blind, but from another perspective, it shows Secretary and Madam’s excellent upbringing, unlike us, we have a lot to improve.”

”Secretary, Madam, we won’t disturb you anymore.” Seeing Luo Zhenggang lightly frowned, Yan Shaozheng wisely stood up saying goodbye.

Luo Zhenggang stood up and shook hands with him: ”Alright then, visit often.”

...

On the way home, the three Yan family members were silent, each lost in their thoughts. Sun Xian suddenly slapped his knee: ”No, I must visit Old Liu’s home.”

”Why?” Yan Shaozheng glanced at her, ”What are you planning again?”

”Honey, Xiao Feng and the Secretary’s niece are colleagues and very good friends. From my observations, Young Master Luo and Miss Luo also like Xiao Feng a lot. Why don’t we ask Xiao Feng to help plead? What do you think?”

”Don’t start anything. You know the Secretary’s temperament better. He definitely wouldn’t grudgingly retaliate against us because of this.” Yan Shaozheng said, then glared at his son, ”You, too. Almost thirty, be more careful in the future, don’t be petty like a woman.”

”Yes.” Yanyan responded with his head down.

”Look at how you scared the child.” Sun Xian softened her voice, ”Honey, let’s visit the Liu family, not for anything else, but for Yanyan’s marriage. Shall we?”

Yan Shaozheng snorted, ”Didn’t you go today?”

”Only Yanyan and I went; it’s not enough. If you went, the Liu family would feel we value this matter more. Mainly... mainly...” Sun Xian hesitated, ”When I left, I didn’t part on good terms with the Liu family; it’s better to resolve the conflict sooner rather than later...”

”You...” Sun Shaozheng glanced through the rearview mirror, seeing his son’s eager eyes fixed on him, he sighed heavily and changed the route.

...

”Director, sister-in-law, Yanyan...” Mrs. Liu opened the door and saw the family of three standing at the entrance, full of surprise.

Sun Xian warmly grabbed Mrs. Liu: ”Sister-in-law, I tend to get impulsive sometimes, don’t mind my attitude today, okay?”

”Sister-in-law, what are you talking about?” Mrs. Liu suppressed the confusion in her heart and called inside, ”Old Liu, Director Yan and sister-in-law and Yanyan are here.”

”Director, sister-in-law, Yanyan, please come in and sit.” Liu Feng’s father, Liu Ligang, quickly emerged from the study, warmly greeting the Yan family’s trio.

After everyone was seated, Sun Xian earnestly turned to Mrs. Liu, ”Sister-in-law, where’s Xiao Feng?”

Mrs. Liu laughed and said, ”Xiao Feng went out to eat with friends and hasn’t come back yet.”

Sun Xian’s eyes flickered: ”Xiao Feng went out to eat with Young Master Luo and Miss Luo from the Luo Family, right?”

Mrs. Liu nodded: ”Yes.”

”But when we left the Luo Family, Young Master Luo and Miss Luo have already returned. Sister-in-law, do you want to give Xiao Feng a call? A girl out so late might be dangerous?”

Mrs. Liu scratched her forehead in confusion: ”That can’t be right. I told her to call and let her dad pick her up before coming home. The phone at home hasn’t rung?”

Liu Ligang, seeing his wife’s worried face, quickly said, ”Maybe she was invited by other friends. Don’t worry about it. If you’re really worried, just make a call, so it doesn’t weigh on your mind.”

”Okay.”

Five minutes later, Mrs. Liu hung up the phone, and the concern disappeared completely: ”Turns out she was indeed invited by other friends and said she was nearby, she’ll be back soon, told us not to worry.”

Liu Ligang shook his head with a smile: ”See, I told you, you’re worrying for nothing.”

Yan Shaozheng glared at his wife and said seriously, ”Ligang, sister-in-law, I don’t like beating around the bush. Coming over this late has two reasons. First, Sun Xian wants to apologize; she’s stubborn like a mule, sometimes she gets stubborn, just don’t take it to heart.

Secondly, just from hearing this mother and son’s chatter, I’m unclear about the situation. I want to know, Ligang, sister-in-law, and Xiao Feng, what is your attitude towards the marriage alliance between the two families? Please speak freely, say what’s on your mind, to avoid them pestering you.”

Sun Xian unhappily glared at her husband but didn’t dare make a sound.

Liu Ligang thought for a moment: ”About this matter, I don’t want to interfere with the child’s decision. Her mom has been paying attention to it. If you really want my opinion, it’s as long as Xiao Feng is satisfied, I have no other objections.”

”I think the same.” Mrs. Liu smiled apologetically, ”Director, sister-in-law, you personally came, I really should express a position, but this is ultimately the child’s lifelong decision, before asking her thoroughly, I dare not consent.”

Yan Shaozheng laughed and said, ”That’s as it should be, I’m just trying to understand your exact stance, so this mother and son don’t act without a plan and make things difficult for you.”

Yanyan stood up seriously, ”Uncle... Uncle, Aunt... Aunt, as long as Xiao Feng agrees to be with me, I will treat her well. When she comes back, could you ask her opinion? If she’s willing to develop a relationship with me, I’ll go along with her in everything; if she really doesn’t like me, then... then I won’t bother her anymore.”

”Alright, alright.” Mrs. Liu quickly responded, thinking to herself, this child actually doesn’t stutter much, and since Yan Shaozheng personally came, it shows the Yan Family truly values this marriage. If Yanyan actually treats Xiao Feng well, it wouldn’t be a bad match...

With that, Yanyan’s few soft words made Mrs. Liu, who initially held a negative stance towards this marriage, change her mind.

...

Downstairs at the Liu home, Liu Xiaodong and Liu Feng embraced each other reluctantly, a long kiss leaving both a bit breathless and impulsive.

Liu Xiaodong whispered in Liu Feng’s ear: ”Xiao Feng, we’re both old enough to get married.”

”I’ll talk to my family in the coming days, hopefully, my parents will agree.” Liu Feng sighed with worry, ”Xiaodong, I really feel uncertain.”

Liu Xiaodong considered: ”Why don’t I personally talk to Uncle and Aunt? If not, let my brother come along, what do you think?”

Liu Feng weighed her options and shook her head: ”I’ll say it myself.”

”Alright, I won’t pressure you, just feel a bit anxious about these secret dates.” Liu Xiaodong hugged her tightly, ”I really wish I could be together with you every day.”

”Me too.” Liu Feng murmured softly.

”Feng...” Liu Xiaodong called gently, gazing at her deeply, his lips slowly moved toward her. As their emotions deepened, the sound of footsteps and voices suddenly came, startling Liu Feng into silence, pushing Liu Xiaodong hard, unable to speak.

Liu Xiaodong held her face, puzzled: ”Feng, what’s wrong?”
