Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 922: Chapter 553: Familiar Face/Unexpected Investment (Part 3)

”Captain Xiang is someone who can’t tolerate any sand in his eyes. If Little Mi were truly hurt, he would never allow her to accept any help from the Wen Family.”

”Sis, how could I possibly hurt Little Mi?” Wen Nan solemnly looked at Luo Ye, ”And I vouched to Captain Xiang that I would treat her well, always liking only her.”

”Who would believe you, you’re too young to make such promises.” Luo Ye poked his head, ”Stop overthinking things, study hard, and focus on what you should be doing at your age. That’s what’s important.

Moreover, the harm I mentioned isn’t about hurting her, it’s about affecting Little Mi’s studies. Little Pumpkin, think about it: if Little Mi gets into the habit of playing with you and ends up affecting her studies, the Wen Family could still provide a comfortable life for her. But can you guarantee she would be the Little Mi you want then?”

Wen Nan pouted: ”Third Sister, you’re only two years older than me, weren’t you younger when you got together with Brother-in-law?”

Luo Ye glanced at him: ”I’m not older than you, but Ye Xuan is older than you.”

Ye Xuan quickly chimed in: ”Yes, I’m older than Little Pumpkin, much older, and Ye’er is also older than Little Mi; they’re not comparable.”

Little Pumpkin rolled his eyes at Ye Xuan: ”Hey, it’s really impolite to eavesdrop on us, isn’t it?”

”I didn’t want to listen, but is that even possible?”

”Uh...” Little Pumpkin was stumped. Well, with Ye Xuan holding Luo Ye, and him standing on the other side of her, with Ye Xuan’s hearing, he could hear everything even with his ears covered, right?

Wen Tong turned back with a laugh: ”Pumpkin, even you have moments of defeat?”

”Uncle, you heard too?”

Hua Rong also turned around: ”Little Pumpkin, so young and already thinking of a girlfriend, tsk tsk..., maturing so early.”

”Huh?”

Wen Nan was surprised as Li Xue Man added from the front: ”What’s the surprise? I heard it too. And I’d like to state something: with Mr. Ye being so handsome, who wouldn’t want to take another look? But looking twice doesn’t mean having any thoughts.

For example, I do have enough self-awareness to know that even if I cried, screamed, and threatened to jump off a building, this Mr. Ye wouldn’t spare me a second glance. So, I wouldn’t make a fool of myself. However, admiring a handsome guy is still nice, right, Sister Ye’er? It’s just pure admiration; you won’t be upset, will you?”

”I’m not upset, but there is a ticket charge. Admiring once is 100 bucks.” Luo Ye said while patting Ye Xuan, ”Hey, this could be quite a good way to earn money. How about this, during your breaks, I drag you to the bustling district, rope off an area, and let the ladies line up to shake hands with the handsome guy. A hundred bucks for each handshake, and the money could go to the Hope School, what do you think?”

Li Xue Man’s eyes lit up as she looked at Luo Ye: ”Sister Ye’er, you’re so generous. Let me know when it happens, and I’ll volunteer to help you collect the fees...”

Luo Ye interrupted her: ”Are you about to add that after each collection, there’s a free handshake?”

Li Xue Man snapped her fingers: ”Too smart! It’s never tiring to deal with clever people.”

Ye Xuan seriously looked at Luo Ye: ”Ye’er, let’s settle this, starting next week.”

”How annoying!” Luo Ye patted him, ”Are you really planning to let these wolf women take advantage of you? Be honest, do you secretly like my suggestion a lot?”

Little Pumpkin burst into laughter: ”Haha..., hoisting your own petard, describes someone like you, woman!”

Luo Ye pinched Wen Nan’s ear: ”Little Pumpkin, see if I don’t squash you into a pumpkin pie and roast it to a crisp.”

Little Pumpkin howled exaggeratedly: ”Help! Brother-in-law, your wife is a fierce woman. You better think it through; after marrying her, you will have to live under her violent abuse for a long time.”

Ye Xuan looked at him and calmly said: ”With your attitude, thinking about early romance, better work on improving yourself first.”

”Truly a couple, evil husband and wife duo, hmph!” Wen Nan clapped his forehead sharply and looked at Li Xue Man, ”Sister, aren’t your ears a bit too sharp? I spoke that sentence softly to Third Sister, how could you hear it clearly?”

Li Xue Man laughed awkwardly: ”Actually, I can’t hear.”

”Can’t hear?” Everyone was stunned; she seemed so normal.

A hint of sadness flashed in Li Xue Man’s eyes: ”Yes, I can’t hear. I was in a car accident at fifteen, and now, I read lips from watching you.”

Little Pumpkin looked at her with admiration: ”Sister Xueman, you must have gone through a lot to train this hard, right?”

Li Xue Man nodded: ”Yes, reaching this point has meant overcoming unimaginable difficulties. Initially, I didn’t even want to live, but later I managed to pull through. Now, if I don’t tell, who would know I’m disabled, right?”
