Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1313: Chapter 783: Discussing the Marriage (Happy Birthday to Cola!)

As Wen Xin’s voice fell, Shangguan Yunhang and Mrs. Nuo’s eyes immediately filled with joy. To think, their precious daughter and Luo Feng had been together for over three years now, and privately, the couple hadn’t been without concerns.

The difference in family background between the two families was indeed too large, and with Luo Feng being so outstanding, it was difficult to ensure that nothing unexpected would happen when the two kids weren’t together for long periods.

Even though Luo Ye and Ying Nuo were close as honey, how could a sister enforce her brother’s choice in matters of love? Moreover, at critical times, deciding whether to side with a good friend or with a brother was also a tricky matter.

Thus, as they watched their daughter about to enter her internship after the New Year, the couple’s hearts were full of worry, but as the girl’s parents, it was hard to say anything.

Especially since the Luo Family had such a background, even for the sake of their daughter’s future, they couldn’t push too hard. If malicious tongues spread gossip reaching their prideful daughter, wouldn’t she be furious?

During this difficult moment, Wen Xin brought up the matter, allowing the couple to breathe a sigh of relief. Glancing at their daughter with flushed cheeks, almost burying her head under the table, Mrs. Nuo spoke, “Sis, we feel assured if Nuonuo is with Xiao Feng, we have no other demands.”

“You’ve been sold cheap by Auntie,” Luo Ye teased Ying Nuo with her finger.

“Ye’er, how can you say such a thing?” Wen Xin chided her daughter lightly, then turned to Mr. and Mrs. Nuo, “In-laws, you shouldn’t say that. Having Nuonuo as such a sweet, sensible daughter-in-law, we’re truly blessed.”

The wedding must follow our local customs. Both his dad and I do not want Nuonuo to be wronged in the slightest.”

According to customs in Island City, if the groom’s family offers little or no bride price, it’s as if not considering the bride’s family, to the amusement of everyone.

Mr. and Mrs. Nuo exchanged glances with a smile: “Sis, if the Luo Family were an ordinary family, we’d definitely agree with you. However, with the Secretary’s actions, everyone is watching.

Perhaps, we can forgo traditional customs, and regarding the wedding, let you and the Secretary handle it, prioritizing what’s convenient for the Secretary. The children’s happiness doesn’t depend on these customs. What do you think?”

Mrs. Nuo’s suggestion was naturally due to concerns that too much or too little bride price from the Luo Family might invite criticism. Luo Ye immediately chimed in with a smile: “Uncle, Auntie, most people know Wenxin Garden is a Luo Family asset, and that it’s given as my mom’s dowry from the Wen Family, unrelated to my dad. Everyone knows that too.

The scale of Wenxin Garden is evident to all, no one would gossip about this. Marriage is a lifelong matter, we cannot let Nuonuo be unjustly married and leave regrets.”

“No… I don’t feel wronged,” Ying Nuo quickly defended, and after speaking, her face reddened like a crab just out of the pot.

Wen Xin affectionately caressed Ying Nuo’s head: “Silly child, you feel wronged, so would mom. Ye’er is right, our Luo Family isn’t lacking that capability. Our family’s money was earned with hard work; anyone who spreads rumors will face mom’s wrath.”

“Since the in-laws feel this is feasible, then…” Wen Xin pondered briefly, then looked to Old Sir Luo for his opinion, “Dad, why not call Zhenggang later, see if he can come over in the next few days so we can discuss and set the date?”

“Sure.” Old Sir Luo nodded joyfully; the idea of marrying off a granddaughter-in-law and having great-grandchildren was certainly pleasing to him.

“Uh…” Luo Ye, with a line of confusion, looked at Grandpa and Mom, “Shouldn’t the main person be notified?”

Wen Xin was taken aback and laughed: “Indeed, how did we forget Xiao Feng? I’ll call him immediately, ask him to arrange his work and return quickly. This is a lifelong matter, other things can wait.”

“Don’t force him. If he’s busy with work, discussing after the New Year is fine too. Surely he’ll have a few days off then?” Shangguan Yunhang suggested.

“He hasn’t returned for over half a year; he’s a Vice Mayor, not a Governor, how could he be that busy?” Wen Xin retorted, unconvinced, dialing Luo Feng’s number. After instructing for Luo Feng, she fell silent briefly before hanging up without expression.

“What happened?” Luo Ye looked puzzled.

“Xiao Feng is in a meeting,” Wen Xin snorted. “Looks like I was wrong; this Vice Mayor seems busier than his dad, the Governor. Even his calls are answered by the secretary.”
