Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption-Chapter 1025 - 598: Persuasion

Upon hearing Lei Yu’s call, Fu Mo looked toward the kitchen entrance in confusion, a flash of surprise passing through his eyes, and awkwardly stepped forward, "Big brother, you’re here too?"

"Yeah, I’m here to meet the new son-in-law, just didn’t expect it to be you." Ye Xuan looked him up and down, "You, kid, you’re quite good at keeping secrets."

"No, no," Fu Mo awkwardly scratched his head, "I didn’t mean to hide it, really, I didn’t even know you knew Xiao Yu..."

Lei Yu interrupted Fu Mo, "Don’t mind him." She glared fiercely at Ye Xuan, "Little Xuanzi, aren’t you going to start cooking? Be careful or my dad will punish you!"

"Uh..." Fu Mo’s mouth twitched obviously; Little Xuanzi?!

Ye Xuan took off the apron and handed it to Fu Mo, "Why don’t you take over."

"Okay." Fu Mo obediently took the apron and went into the kitchen.

Lei Yu, unwilling to let it go, tugged at Ye Xuan, "Hey, hey, hey, it’s his first time visiting, at least treat him as a guest, how can you let him go into the kitchen?"

"Aren’t I a guest too?" Ye Xuan gave her a look, "And besides, Fu Mo is my cousin, for now, I think I still have the right to arrange for him to do a bit of work, right?" Then he turned to Lei Dawei, "Fu Mo is my second aunt’s son."

"What a coincidence!" Lei Dawei laughed heartily, "I’ve always regretted that you and Xiao Yu didn’t have any fate, but now it seems, staying within the Ye Family, not bad."

"Who has fate with him?" Lei Yu poked her head out of the kitchen and pursed her lips, "Dad, if I really found such a troublemaker as a son-in-law, would you rest easy?"

Lei Dawei gave his daughter a stern look, "Nonsense, how is Little Xuan a troublemaker?"

"Just take a closer look at him, isn’t he?" Lei Yu snorted, "Honestly, since I was six, I’ve known I could never marry a man like him in this life."

Ye Xuan looked at her expressionlessly, "I found out that you’re quite precocious, aren’t you? At six, did you even know what marrying meant?"

Lei Yu glared at him resentfully and pointed at the top of her head, "Did you forget how the scar on my head came about? Just because you gave me a piece of candy, and I was hit on the head by Ouyang Hong with a hammer. She said when she grows up, she wants to marry you, so she didn’t allow you to be nice to anyone else, and that year, I was six."

"How many years have passed, and you still remember?" Ye Xuan looked at her with dark lines over his head, "It’s been almost twenty years, still taking it seriously?"

"Of course." Lei Yu giggled, "According to reliable sources, Ouyang Hong is coming back to the country, Little Xuanxuan, you better be mentally prepared."

"What’s there to prepare for?" Ye Xuan gave her a look, "Look at you gloating, can’t you be a bit more ladylike?"

"Ladylike?" Lei Yu pursed her lips, "What’s that? Anyway, in this life, those two words will never have anything to do with me."

"Dinner’s ready." Fu Mo came out carrying dishes.

"Ah, Little Momo, your skills are not bad, today I’m really in for a treat, made by my dad, by Little Xuanxuan, and by Little Momo, wow, just looking at the colors makes my mouth water, everyone, eat, quick, quick..." Lei Yu said as she went to drag Lei Dawei, who was laughing heartily, "Dad, time to eat, what are you silly laughing about?"

"You, child, are becoming more and more unruly." Lei Dawei smiled apologetically at Fu Mo, "Little Mo, although Lei Yu’s personality is a bit boisterous, she has a good heart."

"I know, uncle." Fu Mo said as he went into the kitchen and brought out the last dish, "Compared to uncle and big brother, my skills might not be as good."

"You’re definitely better than Little Xuanxuan’s cooking, as for my dad, well, he should be the best." Lei Yu dragged Fu Mo to sit down, "Let’s eat."

"Little Mo, eat more." Lei Dawei placed some dishes into Fu Mo’s bowl, "It’s a bit inappropriate for us to have you cook on your first visit." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Fu Mo quickly said, "Uncle, I like it this way, this feels like being part of a family."

"That’s good, eat more." Lei Dawei said as he helped him with another helping, to which Lei Yu protested, "Dad, I’m your real daughter."

"You, hopeless case." Lei Dawei gave his daughter a look, "To get jealous over your boyfriend, are you not ashamed?"

"Not ashamed, hehe..." Lei Yu affectionately held onto Lei Dawei’s arm, "Dad, you love me the most, I know that."

"Glad you know." Lei Dawei looked at Fu Mo, "By the way, Xiao Fu, when can we arrange to meet your parents?"

Fu Mo hesitated for a moment, "Uncle, to be honest, my dad had an accident a few years ago and has been bedridden, he passed away not long after, and my mom, she always felt that being a single parent wasn’t auspicious, I’m a bit worried..."

Lei Dawei waved his hand, "Then we’ll come visit instead, I’m not too particular about these things, as long as Xiao Yu is willing, I’ll fully support her as her dad.

Besides, since you’re Ye Xuan’s relative, just for that reason, I have nothing to worry about, coming from the same bloodline, there shouldn’t be too much difference."

"Ahem!" Fu Mo coughed, choking.

"What’s wrong? What are you so worked up about?" Lei Yu patted his back with a puzzled expression, "Could it be, my dad’s wrong, and you’re actually quite terrible?"

"That, you’ll have to verify slowly." Fu Mo smiled sheepishly, "I just suddenly thought of my second aunt and big sister, uh, they are from the same bloodline too."

He mentioned his second aunt and eldest sister were Si Yue and Ye Qinglian.

An evening meal was finished under the enthusiastic hospitality of the father and daughter duo, leaving Fu Mo feeling somewhat overwhelmed, so he kept signaling to Ye Xuan.

"Director Lei, it’s getting late, I need to go home and check in." Ye Xuan said, looking at Lei Yu, "My grandpa and granny haven’t seen Fu Mo in a while, they miss him a lot, I’m taking him home for a visit, okay?"

"Sure, of course." Lei Yu quickly stood up, "I haven’t visited Grandpa Ye and Granny Ye for a long time either, how about I go with you?"

"Lei Yu, another day perhaps, your father has something to say to you." Lei Dawei noticed that Ye Xuan and Fu Mo had something to discuss, so he stopped his daughter.

"Alright then." Lei Yu returned to her seat reluctantly.

...

Once in the car, Fu Mo hesitated for a moment and looked at Ye Xuan: "Brother, I’m sorry. If you want to scold me, go ahead, I won’t blame you."

"Why would I scold you?" Ye Xuan glanced at him, "Tell me about it."

Fu Mo sighed lightly: "Tangtang is the little sister-in-law’s best friend. Have I made things difficult for you?"

Ye Xuan glared at him: "Are Ye’er and I that kind of person?"

"Brother, thank you." Fu Mo sighed, "Initially, when Tangtang proposed breaking up, I was very hurt and wanted to fight to get her back, but she was determined, so I had to let go.

Over the past year, I focused all my energy on work, until I accidentally met Lei Yu. Although she’s two years older than me, she has a childlike simplicity.

Being with her felt easy, without any pressure. After establishing a relationship, I called Tangtang. She just sighed heavily before hanging up.

In my heart, there’s undoubtedly a place for Tangtang, and I can never forget her in this lifetime. But the burden of the Fu Family has already been too heavy, and adding the Tang Family, I’m afraid I’d collapse, so I can only give up."

"I’ll just ask you one thing, do you love Lei Yu?" Ye Xuan glanced at him.

"I like her, but it’s not at the level of love yet," Fu Mo answered truthfully.

"Fu Mo, Lei Yu is very simple, but she’s also very sensitive. Her mother passed away early, so she seems carefree but actually really minds if others care about her. In other words, she needs more emotional support than most ordinary girls. Just that, because of her fear of getting hurt, she wraps herself up tightly.

If your heart remains with Tangtang and you don’t love her, she will surely feel it, and the result won’t necessarily be optimistic.

She is Director Lei’s only treasure. Hurting her is almost like hurting Director Lei. So, you must think carefully before making a decision. Understand?"

"I know." Fu Mo covered his forehead, "Could it be, I’ve made a mistake again?"

"You’ve been too tense yourself. Actually, your aunt doesn’t consider your uncle’s share of the assets that important. It’s you who has been unable to let go all this time." Ye Xuan patted him, "In these years, you’ve been desperately trying to win back everything that belonged to your uncle, but neglecting the time spent with your aunt. Do you think she’s truly happy?"

"But back then, Mom explicitly told me that the Fu Family’s share that belonged to Dad depended on me."

Ye Xuan sighed: "Times change, back then Auntie was still angry, so naturally, she’d say something like that. But now, what she values more is the warmth of family.

Considering it was she who asked you to act that way then, she feels too embarrassed to ask you directly for anything. But deep down, she’s hoping for you to come home and see her more often."

"How did Brother know?" Fu Mo looked at him in confusion.

"Your second aunt recently has been close to my mom, and so my mom asked me to advise you. I originally planned to find you tomorrow, but as luck would have it, we met today." Ye Xuan smiled, "But this also shows how mysterious fate can be. Lei Yu is the type that doesn’t fall for someone easily, but once she does, she won’t change easily.

If you truly have feelings for her, treat her well. Marrying such a girl is a blessing for you. Tangtang is wonderful, but unfortunately, your personalities are too similar."

Fu Mo nodded: "Yes, it does feel exhausting fighting all the time."

"...I originally proposed breaking up, but he was too neglectful of me then. I’ve come to understand now that a man should focus on his career. But he says being with me is too exhausting and we can’t go back to how it was. Do you think he’s being unfair?" Tangtang said in anger, looking at Luo Ye Xingnong Yaoguang, "You all tell me what’s right."

"It’s hard to judge this." Xing Nong smacked her lips, "After all, you proposed breaking up at that time, and now you want to go back.

We heard there’s a big-eyed girl by his side, gentle and considerate. Can you compare with her?

Men all like gentle girls. Tomboys, they’re only appreciated in TV dramas." (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
