Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1492: Chapter 873: All or Nothing

Staring at Li Yue Mei for quite a while, until she lowered her head, Luo Ye finally said, "If you want to leave, I won’t stop you. You’re pursuing love, and I have no right to interfere. However, I want to remind you to figure out what the person you’re pursuing truly thinks."

"He doesn’t know my feelings," Li Yue Mei gave a bitter smile at the corner of her mouth, "Moreover, he doesn’t know that I’m currently in Sha City."

"Then what’s the point of this action that harms others without benefiting yourself?" Even though Luo Ye was smart, she couldn’t quite understand what act Li Yue Mei was putting on.

Li Yue Mei stubbornly straightened her back: "Breaking up him and Yue Qin doesn’t necessarily mean I have to marry him. I just think Qi Xing deserves a better choice."

"..." This logic left Luo Ye speechless, so she waved her hand, "Go settle your accounts. It’s your freedom how to act. But I want to remind you, in one’s life, many mistakes might be made. Some can be remedied, others will keep you living in pain forever."

"Thank you, Chairman Luo." Li Yue Mei’s eyes sparkled, and she retreated.

Luo Ye sighed softly and dialed Qi Xing’s number. This matter, she truly found inconvenient to intervene in—she had no standing.

Of course, the main reason was that she hoped Qi Xing would take responsibility. The friends who could help had already helped, but for things like this, it was better for him to handle it himself.

...

"I knew you would come. Please come in." Opening the door, seeing Qi Xing standing at the entrance, Li Yue Mei’s lips curved into a gentle smile.

Qi Xing stared straight at her: "I’m not going in. Let’s talk here. What do I have to do for you to stop causing trouble?"

"Qi Xing, I’m prettier than Yue Qin."

"..."

"I’m a year younger than Yue Qin."

"..."

"If you marry me, we could return home openly. Grandma, Uncle, and Auntie could live wherever they like and be respected by everyone."

"Are you done?" Qi Xing slightly furrowed his brows, "Do you think I care about these things?"

"If you don’t care, why did you come looking for me?" Li Yue Mei raised an eyebrow, looking at him, "Back then, you liked me first, I know."

"So what?" Qi Xing stared straight at her, "Where were you when I was in the most difficulty?"

"I’m sorry, I was too young back then, too easily swayed by others’ words. By the time I realized it, my pride stopped me from lowering my head.

Qi Xing, you know my character. Coming alone to Sha City, I’ve already set my pride aside. There were so many times I wanted to find you, but in the end, I didn’t dare take that step.

I know, given your current circumstances, it’s not hard for you to find someone better than me. But the nature of your work dictates that marrying you means we can’t be together every day. How many of your family members are willing to serve them?p>

I know Yue Qin is willing, but with her, you’ll carry a bad name for life. Your children will also be pointed at..."

"Enough!" Qi Xing coldly shouted, "Li Yue Mei, pretend I never came. Do whatever you want."

"Don’t you want to know why I know about your relationship with Yue Qin?"

"You mean to tell me you’ve known about my relationship with Yue Qin for a long time but didn’t speak out? Should I be thankful to you?" Qi Xing looked at her with no expression, "Originally, I wanted to ask you to be merciful with your words. But now, you’ve reminded me that some things can’t be hidden forever.

I don’t want someone to use it against me one day. Since Yue Qin and I chose to be together, I should give her everything a wife deserves.

By the way, we’ve already registered for marriage. She is already my wife. The only person I’ve loved in this life is Yue Qin, and until life’s end, the only woman I could love is her!"

"I’ve always kept this love letter," Li Yue Mei choked, raising a yellowed envelope. "For twelve years, I’ve carefully preserved it."

It was a love letter written to Yu Yue Mei when he was in junior high. It was the most confused emotion of a young teenage boy. Qi Xing was silent for a moment, then his lips curled into a smile, "Now, the only woman who brings me warmth is Yue Qin."

"Being with her, don’t you feel guilty?" Li Yue Mei pushed her limits.

"What do you think?" Qi Xing shook his head at her, "There are things you’ll never understand. Forget it, no matter what, thank you for helping me make up my mind."

With those words, Qi Xing strode forward and didn’t look back, no matter how the woman behind him called out.

...

"Have you decided?"

"I’ve decided!"

"Once you step out, there’s no turning back."

"I never planned to turn back."

"You don’t care what others say?"

"I don’t care!"

"Is your family of the same mind?"

"Yes!"

"Alright, I’ll arrange it now." Luo Ye showed a contented smile, "Qi Zhengwei, I knew you’d figure it out."

Qi Xing gave a bitter smile, "I still need to thank you."

"The key to this matter lies in yourself. If you can’t come to terms with it, no matter what I say, it won’t be of any use." Luo Ye said as he dialed Qu Yue’s number, "Young Master, arrange two buses to bring Qi Zhengwei’s relatives over for the wedding. I’ll send you the list in a bit."

"Got it!" Qu Yue’s cheerful voice came through the phone, "Tell Qi Zhengwei for me, he’s a great guy, I’m impressed with him!"

...

Work was gone, the man wasn’t hers anymore, all that’s left was a desire for revenge. Li Yue Mei gritted her teeth and dialed her father’s number.

"Mei, you just called yesterday, why call again? Save some money." Father Li’s hoarse voice came through the receiver.

"Dad, Yue Qin and Qi Xing are getting married."

"What?" The voice on the other end suddenly increased, "Ni’er, are you serious? Didn’t you say you were going to marry Qi Xing?"

"Dad..." Li Yue Mei cried sorrowfully, "I thought he would marry me, but... but... ah ah ah..."

"You’re useless!..."

"His dad, his dad, something big happened..." Mrs. Li’s urgent voice came through, and Li Yumei stopped crying, "Dad, I need to say a few words to mom."

"What’s the big deal?" Father Li said as he handed the receiver to Mrs. Li, "Ni’er wants to speak to you."

"Ni’er called?" Mrs. Li grabbed the receiver, "Ni, two large buses came today and took the Qi Family’s relatives away, saying they’re going to Sha City for Qi Xing’s wedding.

I quietly asked who Qi Xing was marrying, and they told me it was Yue Qin, Ni’er, didn’t you say Qi Xing was always waiting for you? What’s going on?"

"Mom, are you... are you serious?" Li Yue Mei stopped crying, her face full of disbelief. She couldn’t imagine Qi Xing would really go all out.

"Yes, who could lie about this? Tell me, doesn’t this family have any shame? If the sister-in-law wants to marry the younger brother, just do it quietly. Why make such a big deal out of it? Afraid others won’t know? Tell me, what’s wrong with people nowadays?... Ni... Ni’er?..." Listening to the disconnected tone on the phone, Mrs. Li looked at Father Li in a panic, "His dad, Ni’er hung up, she... she wouldn’t do anything rash, would she?"

Father Li quickly grabbed the phone to call back, but it was turned off.

"Call Qi Xing, tell him to check on her. Regardless, Ni’er followed him all those years, even went all the way to Sha City." Father Li gritted his teeth angrily, "If Ni’er gets hurt, I’ll never forgive him!"

Mrs. Li wrung her hands in panic, "We... we don’t have his number..."

"Auntie surely has it."

"Auntie also went with the bus to Sha City."

Father Li suddenly stood up, pacing in circles, "What should we do? Ni’er held onto this for so many years, getting such news out of nowhere, how can she bear it?

It’s all your fault, talking to her about it. Couldn’t you wait a bit longer, then tell her? If anything happens to the girl, I don’t know what you will do..."

"I... I didn’t think much at the time, just wanted to ask Ni’er. His dad, if I had known, we wouldn’t have prevented Ni’er from being with Qi Xing back then, otherwise things wouldn’t be like this today." Mrs. Li regretted more and more.

Back then, their daughter wanted to be with Qi Xing, and they both tried their best to stop it, thinking that the Qi Family was a troublesome bunch and that their beautiful daughter couldn’t go live like a widow with them?

But who would have thought, Qi Xing really climbed step by step, became the most successful young guy in the village, so when their daughter said she couldn’t forget him all these years and wanted to find him in Sha City, they agreed without thinking.

However, they never expected Qi Xing to be involved with his sister-in-law, which completely overturned her understanding.

While Mrs. Li was regretting and blaming herself, Father Li had already packed their bags, pulling his dazed wife along to head out.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Li looked at Father Li dumbfounded, not knowing his sudden impulse.

"Taking a bus to Sha City. If the girl is alright, fine, but if anything happens, I’ll risk my life to fight for justice for our daughter."

"Yes, yes..." Mrs. Li agreed, suddenly realizing as they left, "But we don’t know where Ni’er lives."

"We know where she works, we’ll ask there. If we can’t find her, we’ll go to Qi Xing’s unit, the unit can’t run away, right?"

"His dad, you’re the one to rely on when there’s trouble."

"Of course, with you as the womenfolk, does our family have any chance at good days?"

The old couple then hastily headed to the bus station, passed by an acquaintance, Uncle Jiang, who jokingly teased them, "What’s with you two looking like you’re eloping?"

Father Li rolled his eyes and said, "Going to attend Qi Xing’s wedding, Uncle, are you going?"

"No way!" Uncle Jiang dismissed with disdain, "What kind of mess is the Qi Family making? It’s a disgrace, even if I were invited, I wouldn’t go."

Though he said so, his sour tone clearly indicated his main complaint was not being invited. (To be continued. If you like this work, you’re welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote recommendation ticket, monthly ticket, your support is my greatest motivation.)
