Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 874: Chapter 527: The Reason for Dislike/Compensation

”Director Ye, what is Luo Ye’s background exactly? And who is that mixed-blood man? He looks under 30, how could he possibly be a Major General?” After getting in the car, Director Liu couldn’t help but ask.

Ye Aicheng glanced at her, his expression becoming serious, ”Director Liu, can you tell me why you have such hostility towards Luo Ye?”

”I have no hostility towards her.” Director Liu quickly denied.

”It’s good that there’s no hostility.” Ye Aicheng’s expression lightened.

”Director Ye, do you really not know Luo Ye’s background?” Director Liu asked again.

”I don’t know.” Ye Aicheng shook his head in denial; he wasn’t lying. He could guess that Luo Ye’s background was not simple, but he genuinely didn’t know what it specifically was.

Director Liu sighed, closing her eyes without saying anything further.

Ye Aicheng looked at her, shook his head helplessly. This Director Liu was quite dedicated to her work, but she had a peculiar temper. In her forties, still single. If one were to say she was jealous of young, pretty girls, yet she didn’t seem to reject the young attractive female staff at the office like this.

At this moment, Director Liu’s mind was in a chaotic mess. Her dislike for Luo Ye was naturally for a reason, but how could she express that reason?

When Luo Zhenggang came for his internship report, she was the one who received him. With just one look, she liked him, even though Luo Zhenggang was indifferent towards her. She didn’t care at all, believing that with sincere efforts, anything could be achieved. During that period, she cared for him in every possible way. However, just when she thought the clouds were parting to reveal the moon, that woman suddenly appeared out of nowhere, taking Luo Zhenggang away.

Of course, she was unwilling to accept it. But just when she was about to formally declare war on that woman, Luo Zhenggang left Sha City with her. She chased him to Luo Zhenggang’s hometown, only to be blocked at the door by his elderly father.

She called out loudly for Luo Zhenggang, demanding he act like a man and tell her the truth. As a result, Luo Zhenggang came out, embracing that woman, and clearly told her that he loved that woman and had never liked her.

She was a stubborn woman. From then on, she no longer showed favor to any man. Therefore, to this day, she remains single. She often thought that if it weren’t for that woman, she would likely be living happily with Luo Zhenggang now.

Many times, she thought of finding out about Luo Zhenggang’s current situation, considering going to see if he had changed. But in the end, she lacked the courage to take that step. She feared seeing him happy, knowing it would be the most fatal blow to her.

Over the years, both Luo Zhenggang and that woman’s appearance were imprinted in her mind as if they had taken root. Therefore, the first sight of Luo Ye, with her resemblance to her old rival, made her immediately conclude that she was likely Luo Zhenggang’s daughter.

She didn’t have the mindset to accept the child because she loved the parent. Or rather, if Luo Ye looked like Luo Zhenggang, she might have liked her. But as it turned out, Luo Ye resembled that woman too much, making it impossible for her to like her.

Seeing Luo Ye, the scars that hadn’t healed were instantly torn open, bleeding profusely. This only added more to her hatred, making her instinctively want to find faults in her.

Even now, knowing that she had offended Luo Ye, even knowing that Luo Ye might seek revenge, she still couldn’t calmly communicate with her to seek her forgiveness. That kind of hatred, after twenty years of accumulation, had solidified like iron. In this life, she would rather die than bow to her.

Moreover, she was well aware of Luo Zhenggang’s family situation, and she estimated that woman’s family wasn’t much better off. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have followed Luo Zhenggang to live a frugal life back then. In that light, Luo Ye was likely relying on that mixed-blood man.

Having mingled in the officialdom for so many years, she knew very well that the better-off families wouldn’t do anything outrageous for the sake of their in-laws. Thinking of it this way, she felt relieved, even wishing for Luo Ye to cause a stir. That way, Luo Ye would be despised by her husband’s family, and the outcome for her wouldn’t be good.

Sitting nearby, Li Feng and Yang Hui saw Director Liu’s changing expressions and couldn’t help but secretly shake their heads. They really didn’t understand what this Director Liu was competing for with a promising young girl.

Just as Luo Ye got off the car, Luo Lian rushed over, looking Luo Ye up and down, ”Luoluo, are you alright?”
