Chapter 233: Chapter 142: Grandpa Comes, Little Aunt Arrives (Part 2)
Luo Ye was anxious: "What... What do you mean you already know? Grandpa, we need to be clear about this, what are you planning to do?"
"Just leave the rest to me, you should go now."
"No, I can ignore things that don’t concern me, but the question you just asked me is obviously about me, you don’t really think I’m getting engaged with Ye Xuan, do you? My dad must have told you, it’s just a strategy to get through a difficult time, right? Please don’t take it seriously, I really don’t want to be embarrassed all the way to the Pacific Ocean!"
Mr. Wen pointed at Luo Ye’s tight grip on the desk: "Ye’er, don’t be so agitated, look, could I throw you out across the desk?"
Luo Ye grinned sheepishly and let go, with the Old Master’s imposing presence, she just reflexively grabbed the desk and wouldn’t let go, "Grandpa, about this matter concerning me, you really have to explain it to me, otherwise, I’ll just stay here and won’t leave. If you want someone to throw me out, I... I..."
"And then what will you do?" Old Master Wen leaned back leisurely in his chair, looking quite pleased.
"I... I will never come here again!"
"Grandpa wouldn’t eagerly curry favor with the Ye Family, nor would he use my granddaughter as a bargaining chip to consolidate the power of the Wen Family. I was asking you just to make sure of how I should deal with these families in the future. As for Ye’er’s private matters, Grandpa won’t interfere, are you relieved now?"
"That... about the bullet, do you have any leads on who made it? I’m not trying to snoop into the Wen Family’s secrets, but my mom is going to visit my great-aunt’s grave tomorrow, and I’m worried something unexpected might happen again. Grandpa, my mom, my dad, my brother, they are the most important people to me, I can’t lose any of them." By the end, Luo Ye’s eyes were resolute.
Mr. Wen looked at Luo Ye for a long time and nodded: "You’ve had it tough, rest assured, there won’t be any incidents. It’s not like the old days when people could fire shots out of the blue.
In less than three days, some henchmen will show up; they must really think the Wen Family is an old tiger with no teeth, thinking a single bullet could scare us?"
"There must be a mole, right? Grandpa, have you figured out who it is?" Luo Ye boldly asked another question, not that she wanted to be nosy, but given the situation, since Grandpa had accepted her dad and would support him appropriately, then her dad would be tagged with the Wen Family. She didn’t want to be shot for no reason in her sleep.
"You’ll know in time!" Old Master Wen’s eyes gazed distantly out the window: "Feeding an unfamiliar wolf, it’s time for a cleanup." He then turned back and continued: "Ye’er, Grandpa isn’t keeping it from you on purpose, at the age of 16, Grandpa doesn’t want you to worry too much. Once you step onto this path, the strings are taut from day one. Relax for a few more years, later on, Grandpa will give Ye’er a burden to bear."
Luo Ye, frightened, quickly waved her hands: "Grandpa, I won’t ask anymore, you don’t... don’t need to pile burdens on me. My brother is different; he is a genius, but I’m not."
"Ye’er’s abilities and spirit are there for all to see, when the time comes you won’t need Grandpa to burden you, you’ll take it up yourself. Alright, Grandpa has some affairs to take care of, go out and get more familiar with your brothers and sisters. The Wen Family is also Ye’er’s and Feng’er’s home, remember that?"
"I’m going now, Grandpa." Luo Ye walked to the door, turned back, and flashed a charming smile: "I’ve grown quite fond of you, and also, I understand now why you never let my mom come back, thank you!"
Watching the delicate figure dash out of the room, the Old Master smiled in satisfaction, his sacrifice of some profit for his daughter’s sake back in the day wasn’t in vain—the younger generation is indeed a treasure.
...
"Sister, I’m here to see you, it’s my fault for not having the courage to face this for so many years, but today, I’ve finally moved on. From now on, I will live happily, and be good to our parents, don’t worry..." Wen Xin knelt at her sister’s grave, crying and talking.
Looking at the photo on the tomb, Luo Ye finally understood why Wen Rou wanted Wen Xin to date in her place years ago; the sisters really were identical.
The photo of a young Wen Xin was a spitting image of Wen Rou, love is blind. She couldn’t judge if her aunt’s love was right or wrong, perhaps, it was just jealousy over beautiful women.
Suddenly feeling someone’s presence, Luo Ye turned her head to see Little Aunt Yu Miao, dressed in black with dark sunglasses, paying her respects during the ceremony; Luo Ye did not want to disturb her and just nodded quietly.
After the memorial service was over, Wen Tong supported Wen Xin as they walked away, with Yu Miao not even warranting a glance, Luo Zhenggang nodded at Yu Miao and quickly caught up.
The younger members of the Wen Family politely addressed her as "little aunt," but from their expressions, it was clear they were not fond of Yu Miao. Yu Miao caught up with Luo Ye, who was deliberately trailing behind: "Ye’er, your little aunt did not know you were returning yesterday, otherwise, she would have gone back already. Your little uncle adores you; could you help persuade him for me?"
"Little Aunt, I’m the junior here, it’s really not my place to interfere in the affairs of elders. By the way, how did you know we were coming to pay respects to my great-aunt?"
"I..." Yu Miao’s expression flickered: "I called home, your mother-in-law told me."
Luo Ye gave a faint smile: "I see. I heard that Little Aunt really doesn’t like me associating with Ye Xuan and even fell out with my little uncle over it. I don’t quite understand, what does my relationship with Ye Xuan have to do with Little Aunt?"
"Ye’er, that’s not the case." Yu Miao tightened her grip on Luo Ye’s hand: "Listen to your little aunt and let me explain, it’s not like what you’ve heard.
Our Yu Family’s elders have always hoped Nana and Ye Xuan would be together. After hearing about you and Ye Xuan, they wanted me to check out the truth. I was just verifying with your little uncle, and then he got angry, accusing me of being a traitor. Such a huge misunderstanding."
