Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1489: Chapter 870

"Cough! Cough! Cough..."

Xia Yingru started to cough violently.

Sitting next to her, Ying Nuo quickly helped pat her back: "Isn’t it just a bit ladylike and gentle? Does it need to get you this excited?"

Her skin was fair, with delicate features—of course, that was under the condition of having makeup on; as for what she looked like without makeup, it might be a different story, but generally speaking, she wasn’t unattractive.

However, we just heard her loud voice outside the door. Especially considering her height over 175 cm and quite curvaceous figure, it was rather odd to hear such a soft voice from her again.

Xia Yingru covered her face and turned around: "Auntie, are you a regular here?"

"Xiao Ru?" The woman was stunned, "Why are you here? Do you also know Jerry?" Xiao Ru, I’m just a customer of Jerry, don’t misunderstand."

"I didn’t misunderstand." Xia Yingru smiled helplessly, "I understand that all women love beauty, and Auntie is no exception." Saying this, she looked towards Luo Ye and the others, "This is my Aunt Li Mingfang."

"It’s the ’fang’ of ’square,’ not the ’fang’ with the grass radical." The woman hurriedly added, clearly thinking the second ’fang’ character sounded a bit vulgar.

Since she was Xia Yingru’s aunt, Luo Ye stopped being cold and instructed someone to pour her a glass of water: "Aunt Li, please wait for a while, my friend is about to become a bride, so she might take a little longer."

"Alas!" The woman traced the corners of her eyes with her fingertips, "I’ll go up to do some skincare first, and then come down for my hair. Actually, I intended just to greet Jerry, but your people had such a bad attitude that I lost my mind and decided to do my hair first."

After the woman went upstairs, Xia Yingru pouted: "It’s such a small world. Just stepping out of the house, you meet acquaintances, but don’t misunderstand, my mother is not like her."

"Come with me to the bathroom..." Luo Ye said, pulling Xia Yingru along, "Come on, don’t waste time chatting here."

Xing Nong and others, being long-time friends of Luo Ye, knew there was definitely a reason behind her action, so they all sat still, and no one followed.

"Is there something special you want to talk about?" Xia Yingru wasn’t clueless. Once they reached the bathroom, finding no one there, she preemptively asked.

"Yes, I do need to talk to you." Luo Ye locked the outer bathroom door from inside and pulled Xia Yingru further in, "If it weren’t rather urgent, I wouldn’t have brought you here to talk.

Let me clarify, what I’m about to say, I just found out, and it’s my own decision to do this. Regardless of whether you get angry or furious after hearing it, you can take it out on me, alright?"

Xia Yingru nodded: "Go ahead, I’m listening."

After a brief pause, Luo Ye said: "I think you can probably guess, I came here for Liu Xing. We grew up together, and he’s used to acting like an older brother in front of me, so sometimes he’s a bit reckless.

Xia Yingru, I’m talking to you because I know you’re the one who truly loves him, and I especially hope you can bring him happiness.

But, I equally hope for your happiness. I really like your personality, truly..."

Xia Yingru interrupted her: "Get to the point."

"Alright, the point is, Liu Xing is utilizing your connection with Chairman Qian to try to help me, just like you want to help Qian Xia.

In theory, I could keep this from you. Once you’re married, you will naturally weigh whether it’s suitable or not.

However, thinking of our time spent together, I really don’t want you to step into marriage without thinking it through clearly.

If things turn out well for you both, then that’s great. But if something goes wrong, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. So, I decided to remind you.

If you truly have thought it through and love him, wanting to be with him, then you need to be prepared for a long-term battle, gradually softening him, while at the same time, not demanding too much from him.

Someday, when you are fully rooted in his heart, he will repay you tenfold for every kindness you’ve shown him.

Really, that’s his nature. Since he was a kid, he’s been the type who repays others tenfold for every favor they do for him.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have taken the risk to help me this time. Of course, if I hadn’t grown up with him and known his nature, I wouldn’t have figured out the intricacies."

"Did he admit it?" Xia Yingru tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes.

"He said he wants to marry you." Luo Ye sighed lightly, "But he also admitted that it will take time to fall completely in love with you.

I’m telling you this without his knowledge. I know I’m meddling, but I think you understand why I’m doing this."

"Yes, I understand." Xia Yingru nodded, "Because I love him, I don’t want to see him suffer, so I naturally wouldn’t force him to marry me.

But why didn’t he tell me this himself? Hearing it from you really makes me feel uncomfortable."

"He won’t say it. He’s a responsible man. In his view, once he has promised you, he has to marry you and live with you for a lifetime.

As for matters of emotion, they can come slowly. That’s just him, always putting others first and himself in the corner."

"Got it." Xia Yingru forced a smile, "I also understand your motive for doing this. You’re his friend, and naturally, you don’t want him to lead an unhappy life. Especially, knowing he’s doing this for you, you can’t just stand by and do nothing.

Luo Ye, to be honest, this version of you is one I can truly accept. At first, I thought you might be pretty and skilled, but not to the extent that excellent guys would be drawn to you like moths to a flame, right?

Now I understand. You have the gentleness of a girl and the boldness of a boy, so they willingly follow your lead one by one."

"Look at what you’re saying, it’s too exaggerated..."

Xia Yingru interrupted her, "Not exaggerated at all. That Mr. Qu also likes you, right? And from the way he looks at you, you can tell that no matter what request you make, he would agree. To love to that extent, it’s really...

Forget it, it’s not like it’s happiness. For one woman to meet such a man is happiness, but if too many do, it’s a burden. Do you sometimes feel powerless, that you can’t reciprocate?"

Luo Ye smiled but said nothing.

"Not answering means you admit it." Xia Yingru raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Honestly, I feel quite uncomfortable, quite stifled, but now hearing you speak like this, I feel much more balanced. It turns out the pain I endured, you’re enduring just the same."

"Such an excellent girl like you being liked by people is normal." Luo Ye looked at her seriously, "Don’t tell Liu Xing about this."

"Why?" Xia Yingru snorted, "Feeling guilty? Afraid he won’t talk to you if he finds out?"

"Why play dumb?" Luo Ye rubbed her head, "I just don’t want this to affect your relationship. If he doesn’t know and continues to treat you well like this, it would be great."

"Then why did you come to talk to me?" Xia Yingru frowned, scrutinizing her, "Honestly, I think you’re quite strange. What exactly are you busy with in this matter?"

"Telling you is to hope you can strive with confidence. As long as you truly love him and are willing to understand him, one day you will be a couple that makes people envious.

If you didn’t know about this, the way you handle things would surely be different. By then, conflicts could arise, and ending up apart wouldn’t be impossible.

It’s rare for such a kind-hearted girl like you to like him, so of course, I hope you two can be together. That way, Aunt Nie can also be at ease."

"Thank you!" Xia Yingru hugged Luo Ye, "I sincerely thank you."

"Why so polite?" Luo Ye stepped back, "I’m really not used to this."

"As for my cousin’s matter, I won’t play a part in aiding the matchmaking anymore. I’ll help persuade him." Xia Yingru sincerely sighed, "Messing with matchmaking like this is truly quite unethical. I’d better not do such unethical things."

Luo Ye thought for a moment: "Alright, since we’ve talked to this extent, can you tell me what’s your cousin’s thoughts? If he’s being forced as well, then it will be much easier to solve."

"To say my cousin fell in love with you is exaggerated, after all, it’s just seeing photos and information. I have talked to him before.

He said that since marrying someone is inevitable, marrying someone pretty and capable who can make the family happy is good too.

However, the premise is that both parties must meet and communicate before making a decision as to whether it is appropriate. After properly seeing and talking face-to-face, then you can be sure.

What he wants is a marriage that everyone is satisfied with, and he is satisfied with. If there’s anything among that he cannot accept, he probably won’t agree either."

"That’s good to hear." Luo Ye sighed in relief, "Let’s go, Sister Yue’s styling is probably done by now, let’s go have a look."

Upon returning to the room, they found the atmosphere strangely eerie.

"What happened again?" Luo Ye whispered in Xing Nong’s ear.

"The world is vast, and nothing is too strange." Xing Nong shook her head in a playful manner.

Luo Ye glared at her, "Speak properly!"

"It’s just that the beautician who came to deliver the tools is from the same hometown as Sister-in-law, recognized her, and got so excited that she blurted out asking Sister-in-law who she was marrying.

In the end, it embarrassed Sister-in-law so much that she lowered her head to the floor without saying a word, so I told the girl to leave."

Luo Ye glanced at Yue Qin, and true enough, Jerry was busy tidying up for her, while she sat there hunched over, appearing somewhat desolate.

Ying Nuo tugged at Luo Ye’s sleeve, "You’re the smooth talker, persuade Sister-in-law."

Luo Ye shook her head, "In this matter, persuasion won’t work. Later, I’ll show her through action, and it will be twice as effective with half the effort." (To be continued.
