Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 902: Chapter 543: Change / Mess_2

...

Early the next day, Luo Ye and Ye Xuan went to see Luo Lian off. Accompanying Luo Lian back was Jiujiu. Seeing Zhou Zhenhai, who was supporting the frail Emma along with Luo Lian, Luo Ye was momentarily taken aback, then smiled and greeted, ”Hello, Uncle Zhou.”

”Hello, Luoluo.” Zhou Zhenhai forced a bitter smile at her, looked into the distance, and then back at Luo Ye, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Luo Ye smiled back at him, ”If there’s anything, Uncle Zhou, just say it.”

Zhou Zhenhai quickly shook his head, ”It’s nothing, nothing.”

”Dad wants to go to the United States with us,” Luo Lian explained.

”Uncle Zhou is probably worried about Aunt Li and Zhou Jing, right?” Luo Ye pondered for a moment and understood.

”Yes.” Zhou Jing forced a bitter smile. He really had no feelings left for Emma. When she asked him to accompany her on her final journey, he had initially refused.

In the end, after Emma met with Li Mei, Li Mei instead persuaded him to go along. No matter how much he asked, Li Mei wouldn’t say what they discussed, so helplessly, he had to go along. But how could he not worry about his wife and child?

Perhaps his wife was also worried he would change his mind at the last minute, which is why she brought their son but didn’t appear herself. His emotions were a tangled mess.

”Don’t worry, I’ll ask someone to help take care of Aunt Li and Zhou Jing. But, I believe the person they most wish to have by their side should still be Uncle Zhou.” Luo Ye said, giving a slight smile to Emma, ”Auntie, you won’t be upset with what I said, right?”

”I’m not upset. I know making him accompany me is asking too much, but I’m really scared to leave alone.” Emma gave a weak smile, ”Luo Ye, I know you’re really concerned about Amy. After I’m gone, I entrust you to look after Amy.”

Luo Ye nodded, ”I will.”

”Mom, you’ll be okay. Don’t always say such pessimistic things.” Luo Lian reassuredly patted Emma’s back, her worry evident.

”Amy, thank you.” Emma closed her eyes, filled with bitterness. She hadn’t expected that the one by her side during this time was not her beloved daughter Alice but the adopted daughter she liked the least, Amy.

Perhaps, she ended up like this as punishment from God? When she opened her eyes again, they were a bit clearer. She looked at Zhou Zhenhai seriously, ”It’s better if you don’t go, stay with your wife and son.”

”What did you say?” Zhou Zhenhai looked at her in surprise, then calmed down, ”Since we’ve already agreed, I’ll go with you for the treatment.”

”There’s no need.” Emma shook her head, leaning closer to Luo Lian, ”It’s fine with Amy with me. There are some matters I need to discuss with Amy, so let Amy accompany me.”

”Zhenhai, I’m sorry. Actually, before coming to China this time, I already knew I had this disease. The doctors already told me that the best medication could only let me live two more months.”

”At that time, I really couldn’t accept the news. After spending two days in the hospital, watching the patients in pain, I just ran out.”

”I went to the church, made a confession, revisited my life, and realized the only man who truly treated me well was you. Leaving you was my biggest mistake. In my final days, I wanted you with me, so I returned to China to pursue you again, relentlessly.”

”Zhenhai, I’m sorry, I threatened your wife. I told her that if you didn’t go abroad with me for treatment, I would make you come meet God with me. And I told her that I absolutely had the means to make this happen.”

”She really believed me. Zhenhai, she’s a good woman. Now, I don’t want to make more mistakes, you should go back and live happily with her. I’ll bless you from Heaven.”

Zhou Zhenhai nodded, ”I understand. I wish you a safe journey.” He then turned to look at Luo Lian, ”Lianlian, even though you’ve found your biological father, I will always regard you as my own daughter. Take care!”

”Dad.” Luo Lian rushed into his arms, nuzzling against him, ”When I come back, I’ll visit you first thing. No matter when, you’ll always be the father I respect the most.”

”Silly girl.” Zhou Zhenhai’s eyes welled with emotion, taking a deep breath as he looked at Emma seriously, ”Please take good care of Amy, ensure she comes back safely. I’m entrusting her to you!”

Emma nodded, ”I understand.”

...

In the small conference room of the City Committee, Wen Song sat at the head, with Ye Aicheng and Director Liu seated on either side.

Everyone looked somewhat gloomy. The contract with L.L International had just been signed, when suddenly they received notice that all investments within China were being withdrawn, with no room for negotiation. As for the penalty fees, they would be paid to the letter of the contract.

Wen Song glanced at the two, ”Let’s hear your thoughts.”

”Secretary, let me speak first.” Ye Aicheng said angrily, ”These foreigners are so ungrateful. If we’d known, we wouldn’t have made the breach clauses so lenient. If our projects hadn’t started, fine, they could just withdraw.”

”But the initial investments have already been made. Their sudden change of heart has left us with a bombshell to deal with.”

”If we stop work now, the penalty fees won’t even begin to cover our losses. Immediately finding investors, where can we possibly get them? This is fifty billion, not five billion.”

”I think now the only way is to look for assistance from the Six Great Families, see who is willing to take on this hot potato. If we look elsewhere, I fear we won’t have enough time.”

”I agree.” Director Liu quickly chimed in, then frowned, ”But this might be a bit difficult, after all, we previously had intentions of keeping the Six Great Families at a distance.”
