Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1521: Chapter 887: Refusal_2

”You’re obviously scolding me.” Qian Xia chuckled bitterly, scratching his head, ”How about this, we just be ordinary friends, that’s okay, right?”

”Being friends with you is not possible.” Luo Lian shook her head and refused, ”I really don’t want to get too entangled with people from the Qian Family.”

”My dad was considering the Wen Family’s interests, the specifics I’m not sure of right now, but my dad never lies...”

”If that’s really the case, wouldn’t you harm Luoluo and your dad by saying it?”

”I...” Qian Xia truly didn’t know what to say, wasn’t he too hasty just now, besides, he felt Luo Lian was Luo Ye’s best friend, surely wouldn’t leak anything, and no one else was here anyway, turns out, she wasn’t appreciative at all.

”Ah!” Luo Lian felt a bit sympathetic too, sighed heavily, and looked seriously at him, ”You have a good personality and kind heart, but knowing you have such thoughts, I really find it hard to treat you as an ordinary friend, I’m sorry.”

”It’s okay, I was too impatient.” Qian Xia waved his hand with a smile, ”I’ll wait for you, please believe me.” After speaking, he stopped being verbose and quickly turned to leave.

The way he acted left Luo Lian somewhat surprised; she stood outside for a long time before sighing and heading towards the waiting hall.

No matter how good or bad the other party is, she’s not in the mood to accept anything right now.

She’s been pretending everything’s fine in front of Luo Ye and others, but only she knows inside whether there’s something wrong or not.

How can all that twisted mess possibly vanish from her heart in a short time? Even though she wasn’t assaulted at that time, it was close.

Her heart has always been blocked by it, unable to get past this hurdle.

Perhaps time is a healer for everything; how she longs for happiness, but heaven seems not to favor her much; every time she gets close to happiness, it gives her a fatal blow.

It’s also strange for her; upon first meeting Qian Xia, she told him everything about herself, even Zhan Ping, who has always pursued her, hasn’t heard her mention this part of her past.

This truly isn’t a good feeling; how could she trust someone without reason? Besides, that person’s father intends harm to Luoluo!

”Lianlian, I thought you wouldn’t come.” Sitting in the waiting hall, Qiao Aimin saw his daughter from afar, quickly coming forward, eyes filled with undisguised joy.

Luo Lian immediately adjusted her emotions, put on a smiling face, ”Dad, I’m going back to Beijing with you to see Grandpa and Grandma, Luoluo asked Qu Yue to help book the ticket, the VIP cabin tickets were already gone, so I’ll meet up with Dad after we land.”

”Did you encounter any trouble?” Qiao Aimin looked his daughter up and down, ”You don’t seem right, tell Dad, who bullied my precious daughter again?”

”No one...” Luo Lian hesitated for a moment but decided to tell Qiao Aimin about Qian Xia. After all, the Qian Family’s influence is there, so it’s necessary to inform Qiao Aimin and let him be mentally prepared.

After pondering for a while, Qiao Aimin looked at Luo Lian, ”Let it happen naturally. I believe Vice Chairman Qian won’t deal with our family or you over this; we’re not comparable to the Wen Family or Ye Family, he won’t go that far.”

”I think so too, just informing Dad so he can be mentally prepared in case we meet them and don’t suffer a loss.”

Qiao Aimin smiled, patting her head, ”Don’t worry, Dad isn’t that foolish. I’ll call Grandpa and Grandma now, they’ll be so happy knowing Lianlian is coming back.”

”Don’t!” Luo Lian grabbed Qiao Aimin’s phone, ”Dad, let’s surprise Grandpa and Grandma; if you call now, imagine how busy they would be at home.”

”Alright.” Qiao Aimin thought about the last time Luo Lian returned home to a big table of dishes, a little unnerved, it’s not the amount of dishes, it’s being forced to eat them.

”Passengers on flight SJ6426, please proceed to the boarding gate for boarding...”

”Dad, let me quickly change the boarding pass, you go queue up.” Luo Lian said as she hurriedly walked to the service desk.

”Lianlian...” Qiao Aimin pulled his daughter back, ”Give me the order number, I’ll change the boarding pass, you go to Dad’s cabin.”

”Okay.” Luo Lian readily agreed, at this moment, her acceptance would certainly make Qiao Aimin happier than refusal, she cherishes this familial bond, so she won’t push others away like she used to.

Indeed, hearing her reply, Qiao Aimin’s joy deepened, he patted her head and strode to the service desk.

Luo Lian’s eyes grew moist, previously, her resentment towards him was mutual torment, considering these years, he really hasn’t had it easy.

The greatest misfortune for someone is experiencing true love but ending up marrying someone not loved, making do for a lifetime—or half of it.

Even with half a lifetime of unloving marital life, the once cherished love remains in the heart, the loved one long gone, leaving no room for remedy, he’s destined never to love anyone again, and a life of emotional solitude is fated.

Watching his upright back, a sense of desolation surged in Luo Lian’s heart; will she also be an emotional loner for life?

Her father still has Grandpa and Grandma, and her too, but what does she have?
