Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1084: Chapter 640: Met with Cold Reception

”Is this what your sister-in-law wants?”

Before Shangguan Yunhang and his wife could express their opinions, Ying Nuo’s aunt, Shangguan Yunhong, spoke up first.

”That’s right, it’s Luoluo’s wish.” Ying Nuo nodded in response, her gaze lingering on her father, Shangguan Yunhang, and her mother, Wang Xiao.

”What do you think?” Shangguan Yunhang asked his wife for her opinion.

Wang Xiao, who always went along with her husband’s wishes, didn’t even think before saying, ”Whatever you decide is fine with me. I have no objections.”

”Nuonuo, it’s too late today. Let’s do it tomorrow. Tomorrow, let your mother tidy up, and let’s aim to move by the afternoon.” Shangguan Yunhang turned his gaze to his daughter, giving her a definite answer.

Ying Nuo began to smile happily, ”I knew mom and dad were the best. But I didn’t really expect you to move tonight anyway. I just wanted to discuss it first, and with a decision, Luoluo can leave Island City without any worries.

She’s on leave and has to leave by noon tomorrow. Tonight, I want to chat more with her.” She looked at her father, ”Dad, take me there.”

”Alright...” Shangguan Yunhang stood up, apologetically smiling at Shangguan Yunhong and Sun Fuquan, ”Sis, brother-in-law, please stay seated. We can talk about anything once I return.”

”Hold on a minute...” Shangguan Yunhong looked seriously at Ying Nuo, ”Nuonuo, do your parents-in-law and Luo Feng know about this?”

”I’m not sure about that,” Ying Nuo admitted honestly.

”How can you be so naive? And you, as parents, don’t you have any experience either?” Shangguan Yunhong said helplessly, looking at the family, ”Sit down and listen to me before you make your decision.”

”Sis, you must think that moving in like this might cost us face, worried that Nuonuo might not have a standing in the Luo Family in the future...” Shangguan Yunhang smiled, ”Actually, even if Nuonuo and Luo Feng weren’t in this kind of relationship, her mother and I would still agree to move.

It’s rare for children to find friends they can truly confide in. Moreover, the bond between her and Luoluo can’t be simply defined as just being good friends.

When it comes to this feeling, since Luoluo spoke up, it’s necessary for her to help. Besides, Luo Lian is also Nuonuo’s friend. If we keep nitpicking over this and that, it’s us parents being unreasonable.”

”Yunhang, how can you be so muddle-headed?” Shangguan Yunhong shook her head, ”I even suspect how you managed to get to your position with a brain that seems to have been kicked by a donkey.”

”That just means the donkey’s kick knocked some sense into me.” Seeing Ying Nuo twitching at the corner of her mouth as she looked at him, Shangguan Yunhang mildly coughed, ”There’s something I’ve never told you; when I was little, I actually got kicked by a donkey. It scared your grandma so much because if it had kicked me dumb, it would have been a lifetime burden for our family.

Unexpectedly, after that incident, I found studying increasingly easy. Before I knew it, I got into the town’s middle school, then before I knew it again, I got into the top high school and eventually got into the best university in the province... perhaps I owe it all to that donkey’s kick.”

Ying Nuo gave him a thumbs-up, ”Dad, you’re getting more humorous.”

”Let’s go, I’ll take you there.”

After Shangguan Yunhang and Ying Nuo left, Shangguan Yunhong focused her attention on Mrs. Nuo, ”Sister-in-law, you have to have a good talk with Yunhang about this. You can’t just go along with him on everything.

In some matters, Nuonuo lacks experience, and Yunhang is too rough around the edges. You, as a mother and wife, need to guide things properly.

Originally, our family’s status is lower than the Luo Family’s. If we really move there this time, not only Nuonuo, but you and Yunhang may also never truly stand tall in the Luo Family in your lifetime.”

”Sis, thank you for your good intentions, but I’m really not in a position to make this call, nor do I want to influence Yunhang. If you want to persuade, you should talk to Yunhang. Don’t waste time with me.” Mrs. Nuo said as she filled Shangguan Yunhong’s cup with more tea, ”Have some tea.”

Sun Fuquan stood up, ”Alright then, you’ve seen Nuonuo and said what you needed to say. Stop disturbing her rest.”

”You can go if you want to. I’m staying here tonight.” Shangguan Yunhong stubbornly sat on the sofa, not moving.

”Sister-in-law, if she acts up, just ignore her,” Sun Fuquan said and left without turning back.

”Look, look...” Shangguan Yunhong pointed at her departing husband’s back, her finger trembling with anger, ”Sister-in-law, you see this?

Just because when I married him back then, our family’s status was lower than his, I let things slide on many issues. And the result?

The result is that he doesn’t even treat me as a person now. A woman who doesn’t position herself properly from the start deserves a lifetime of grievances...”

Seeing Shangguan Yunhong steering the conversation back to moving houses, Mrs. Nuo sighed helplessly and did not respond.

She could generally guess why her sister-in-law was acting this way.

The unwavering integrity of Luo Zhenggang was known throughout Daocheng City. Shangguan Yunhang’s rise to his current position was not merely due to some influence. If Shangguan Yunhang weren’t capable, even if their daughter married Luo Feng, Luo Zhenggang would not turn a blind eye to such nepotism.

Because of this, even after Shangguan Yunhang’s promotion and many people knew that their daughter would be the Luo family’s daughter-in-law, no one accused him of benefiting from nepotism.

As for Shangguan Yunhong, from her initial trepidation to acceptance and now to bitter resentment, she was very clear about it, and she believed her husband understood what her sister-in-law was thinking.

In other words, her sister-in-law’s efforts to offer advice weren’t driven by a hope that Shangguan Yunhang would elevate her but by a wish for him to be quickly dethroned, relieving her from feeling constantly beneath others...

Of course, if Shangguan Yunhang obtained his current opportunities, the person most deserving of their gratitude was Luo Ye. Therefore, any request from Luo Ye was deemed correct.

Moreover, without the other party, their daughter wouldn’t have such a good prospect today. If she truly married into the Luo family and someone dared to bully their daughter, they believed Luo Ye would not stand for it. The bond the two children shared was sometimes envied by her and her husband.

”Xiao, are you listening to me?” Shangguan Yunhong unhappily tugged at Mrs. Nuo’s arm.

Wang Xiao snapped back to reality, quickly responding, ”Yes, I am listening, of course, I am, sis. Please continue.”

Half an hour later, when Shangguan Yunhang returned, he saw his sister, Shangguan Yunhong, lying on his wife’s lap, crying as if she were greatly wronged.

”What happened, where’s brother-in-law?” Shangguan Yunhang asked, puzzled.

”He went home...” Shangguan Yunhong started repeating what she’d said earlier to Mrs. Nuo, ending with, ”Yunhang, I truly mean well for Nuonuo.”

”Sis, I know you mean well for Nuonuo, but this situation isn’t as you think. Let it be. If there’s nothing else, sis, go home quickly. Don’t make brother-in-law and Minmin worry.”

Having spent the whole night and gained nothing, Shangguan Yunhong forced a smile, held back her anger, and left.
