Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1338: Chapter 798

Not wanting to see Mom’s dark face, after the reception, Sun Min and Ying Nuo, Luo Feng, and others accompanied Luo Ye for a walk around Wenxin Garden and Liangyou.

In the evening, they had dinner together, and by the time they got home, it was past nine o’clock. Sun Min tiptoed to open the door, thinking of sneaking back to her room.

“Stop!”

The angry shout startled Sun Min. She shivered and slowly turned her head,

forcing out an awkward smile: “Mom, why are you still up? I was afraid of waking you, so I deliberately kept my voice down, hehe…”

“Look at your grinning bear-like face, aren’t you just trying to avoid me? If you’ve got the guts, don’t come back.” Shangguan Yunhong lounged on the sofa, crossing her legs, and spoke coldly.

Sun Min’s smile faded. Since the Luo Family revealed all the gift money, she knew this mother-daughter battle was unavoidable.

The gift money from the Luo Family to the Shangguan Family, relative to the Luo Family’s background, wasn’t considered high—ninety-nine thousand.

When the gift money was placed on the table, relatives and friends visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s a subtle psychology, hoping Shangguan Yun Hang could do well and pull them up when needed, yet worried that he would advance too quickly, widening the gap.

Simply put, if Shangguan Yun Hang were to move to the province with Luo Zhenggang, given their rank, it would be difficult to gain any advantage.

Thus, their greatest hope was for the Shangguan Family to be connected with the Luo Family but not too much in favor, staying on the land of Island City, so they could bask in more benefits.

However…

Yes, they had to use the word “however” because just as everyone was feeling extremely fortunate, the eldest daughter of the Luo Family gracefully approached Shangguan Yun Hang and Wang Xiao, announcing that 10% of the stocks of Wenxin Garden would be given to Shangguan Ying Nuo as a gift!

The crowd was in an uproar on the spot.

Everyone in Island City knew that Wenxin Garden was the dowry from the wife of Governor Luo’s family, and the development of Wenxin Garden over these years could be described as rapid.

Though it’s unclear how much the total assets are, one can tell from its industry position that converting 10% of the stocks into RMB is definitely a significant sum.

Such a grand gesture naturally signaled that the Luo Family was extremely pleased with Shangguan Ying Nuo as their daughter-in-law!

Therefore, upon entering the Liangyou banquet hall, people’s attitudes towards the Shangguan Family were even warmer, and their attitude towards the Luo Family could undeniably be described as fervent.

As an observer, Sun Min naturally took all of this in, which is why she sneaked out with Luo Ye and others after the reception.

Knowing she couldn’t avoid her mother’s scolding, based on an ostrich mentality, she thought of delaying as long as possible, but in the end, it must be faced…

Seeing her daughter sitting across from her with her head down, silent, Shangguan Yunhong got even more angry, poking her with one finger: “It’s the same being daughters, look at Nuonuo, then look at you? When will you make me and your dad proud?”

“Mom, what do you want from me?” Sun Min looked up at her, her face unusually calm.

“You asinine girl, whatever I want, you do it?”

“Hmm.” Sun Min nodded, “Tell me, Mom, I’ll do exactly as you say.”

“You…” Shangguan Yunhong was stuck there, not knowing how to continue, indeed, what could she ask her daughter to do? Go confess to some official’s son? If she really did that, she’d likely end up considered insane and locked up.

Sun Min stared steadily at Shangguan Yunhong, “From childhood to now, for everything—food, clothing, usage, or play—I must follow your wishes. If there’s even the slightest thing that doesn’t meet your approval, it’s a head-to-toe scolding session.

I’m really tired, so this time I’ll fully listen to you. Once you find someone suitable, just let me know, and I’ll be responsible for the marriage.”

“Asinine girl, is that how you talk? It’s not your mother who wants to marry, can such things be handled this way?” Shangguan Yunhong felt a bit guilty seeing her daughter’s demeanor, so her voice weakened.

“Yes, it can. Anyway, marrying anyone is still marrying, as long as Mom is satisfied.” Sun Min said as she stood up, “If there’s nothing else, Mom, I’ll go back to my room to rest.”

“Sun Fuquan!” Shangguan Yunhong shouted, scaring Sun Min, who was just about to lift her foot to leave.

Mr. Sun shuffled out in slippers from the bedroom, looking at the tense mother and daughter in the hall, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He sighed lightly, looking at his wife, “Yunhong, children have their own fortunes, the matters of marriage cannot be forced.
