Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 797: Chapter 475: Seizing Power / Encounter_2

Unexpectedly for everyone, after the meeting ended, Ye Qingping neither argued nor made a scene. She smiled, greeted Old Master Ye, Grandpa Ye, and the elders, then returned to her room.

The crowd looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

Ye Qingping had exceptional talent from a young age, which made her proud. Her behavior now is entirely out of character. There’s bound to be something unusual happening; if she truly has some thoughts, the ones who might end up unlucky are the Ye Family...

In everyone’s apprehension, Old Master Ye and Grandpa Ye called Ye Xuanluo Ye into the study. They talked for nearly an hour, and when they emerged, the faces of the two elders were noticeably more relaxed.

...

The next day, Luo Ye took some time to visit the Qiao Family.

As the leader of a province, Qiao Aimin naturally couldn’t stay home at this time. The other children of the Qiao Family hadn’t returned either, so the only ones at home were Luo Lian and the Qiao Family’s elderly couple.

Seeing the old couple treating Luo Lian like a jewel, Luo Ye finally felt at ease. She had been thinking, if she saw Luo Lian being wronged, she would take her back home for the New Year.

On the way out, Luo Lian looked at her with reluctance: ”Before, I used to spend New Year’s alone. This is the first time I’m spending it with so many people. I’m really nervous, Luoluo, I really want you to spend New Year with me.”

”Silly girl, with so many people who care about you, why are you nervous?” Luo Ye touched her cheek, ”I also want to spend New Year with you, but I’ve already promised Mom I’d go back home. If I stay here, she might think it’s because I can’t bear to leave Ye Xuan, and since she’s angry, I don’t dare provoke her.”

”You can’t blame Aunt for being angry, the Ye Family really hasn’t been fair.” Luo Lian pouted, ”I won’t be satisfied if Ye Xuan can so easily marry Luoluo.”

”It’s still a long way from marrying me...” Luo Ye protested, giving her a gentle slap, ”Engagement and marriage are two different things, okay?”

”I think you’re just eager to marry that monster.” Luo Lian exhaled a long breath, ”Help me, heavens, the monster needs more cultivation to win over our Luoluo.”

”You, behaving like a child all of a sudden.” Luo Ye thought for a moment, looking at her seriously, ”Lianlian, do you have any feelings for Zhan Ping?”

Luo Lian’s eyes rolled, then she lowered her gaze: ”Why? Trying to play matchmaker?”

”No, when I arrived, he was at the hospital too, with those eager eyes making me almost feel softhearted enough to invite him along, but I steeled myself not to mention it in the end.” Luo Ye shook her head, ”You didn’t see the pitiful look he had at that time.”

”Just let nature take its course.” Luo Lian poked Luo Ye’s forehead, ”You’re not allowed to help. A man has to have a man’s demeanor. I hate men who are timid and rely on others for everything.”

”Got it, I was just casually asking.” Luo Ye looked at her closely, ”Lianlian, tell me, have you encountered something?”

”Wh-why do you ask that?” Luo Lian replied somewhat stammeringly.

Luo Ye pondered for a moment, then turned to her: ”Your foster mother came? Did she find you?”

”Luoluo, you catch everything. Yes, she came to China yesterday, but she’s not here, she’s in Sha City.” Luo Lian smiled bitterly, ”I didn’t want to tell you because I didn’t want you to be uneasy going home for the New Year.”

”Did she ask to spend New Year with you?” Luo Ye asked worriedly.

”No, she wants to spend New Year with my stepfather, and it’s causing quite a commotion.” Luo Lian sighed, ”She’s that kind of person, won’t consider others. Always needs people to revolve around her.”

”Lianlian, I can’t interfere, but I think you should tell your dad and grandparents. Otherwise, they’ll worry, and you’ll find it hard, right?”

”I’ve been hesitating on how to say it, I don’t want my foster mother to meet them. She’s someone without boundaries, she’ll make all sorts of demands.”

”You can’t avoid it.”

”Yes, I know I can’t avoid it. She just hasn’t found the time to come here yet. I know my thoughts are practically a dream. How could she not meet the Qiao Family? How could she miss the chance to gain benefits from them?” Luo Lian shook her head and sighed, ”My mom, also lacking in judgment.”

”Everyone has their moments of misjudging people. It’s not Aunt’s fault. Fortunately, after the New Year, I’ll also go to Sha City, and my time is pretty free, so we can look out for each other.” Luo Ye hugged Luo Lian and patted her, ”I’m leaving, going to the hospital to spend time with Great Grandpa. I’ll be taking the early morning flight back to Island City tomorrow. We’ll meet again after the New Year.”
