Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1105: Chapter 652: Taking the Initiative

Wen Shusheng stared at his granddaughter displeased for a moment, and then spoke in a cold tone: "What do I hate the most? Xue’er should know, right?"

"I..." Wen Xue stammered anxiously, "I didn’t mean to play dumb with Grandpa, but he is very famous at school, and lots of girls like him. Yet he always ignores his suitors. I... I’m afraid I can’t do it either."

"Useless!" Wen Shusheng angrily swept a teacup off the table, glaring at his granddaughter, "Tell me, how did the Wen Family end up with someone as useless as you?"

Wen Xue lowered her head, with red eyes, not daring to make a sound.

"I’ll give you two months, get Yuanbao to prepare whatever you need. If there’s no progress after two months, don’t step foot inside the Wen Family’s doors again!" Wen Shusheng issued his orders domineeringly.

Wen Xue mustered the courage to lift her head and look directly at Wen Shusheng: "Grandpa knows I’m this reticent, why not let Xiao Yu do it?"

"If Xiao Yu were prettier than you, would I need to waste my breath with you?" Wen Shusheng snorted coldly, "You, listen carefully, this time you are only allowed to succeed, no failure."

Wen Xue glanced at the photo again, her lips moved, then moved again, murmuring something inaudibly.

"Louder!" Wen Shusheng felt furious to the point his liver hurt. This granddaughter, she acts normally, chatting and laughing among friends and classmates, but as soon as she faced him, she turned into a mouse cowering under a cat’s paw. Was he really that terrifying?

Wen Xue shrank back: "Why does Grandpa fancy him?"

"He’s a descendant of the Ye Family, I want you to marry into the Ye Family, to become the Ye Family’s granddaughter-in-law..." Wen Shusheng paused, his expression turning cold, "They must not grow too powerful, the Wen Family must reign supreme in Beijing."

"His surname is clearly Zhan, how is he a descendant of the Ye Family?"

"He is a bona fide Ye Family descendant, second only to Ye Xuan in standing. Wen Xue, you must understand the situation. If you can marry him, you’ll live a superior life, and your status in your maiden family will rise sharply, understood?"

"Understood." Wen Xue nodded, sitting there in a daze.

"Ah!"

Wen Xue, kicked and falling, happened to land on a protruding pebble, screamed in pain as she struggled to get up, gently rubbing the hurt part, cautiously sitting back on the bench, hardly daring to breathe.

"You useless thing, always looking poor and lowly, if you didn’t resemble your father slightly, I’d really suspect you were swapped at the hospital." Wen Shusheng angrily slapped the table, "Can’t you give yourself some spirit?"

"Grandpa, did Sis upset you again?" A girl slightly shorter than Wen Xue ran over, hugging Wen Shusheng’s neck and acting cute, "Grandpa, calm down, personalities aren’t formed in a day, nor changed in a day.

Sis is already like this, being anxious won’t help, being angry is even less helpful, better to let things take their course, maybe Sis has her own fortune, and can live quite well."

"When did Xiao Yu come back?" Wen Shusheng’s eyes showed rare delight, affectionately patting his little granddaughter’s head, "Why are you back so early today? Weren’t you going to a party?"

"I missed you and came back early, as for the party, it’s moved to tomorrow."

"You little rascal, your mouth could charm the dead, if your sister were half as good as you, I’d be satisfied, sigh!"

"Grandpa, you can’t say that, everyone has their merits, Sis is gentle, boys like that character in a girl." Wen Yu said while winking at Wen Xue.

Feeling envious seeing Grandpa’s affection with her sister, Wen Xue quickly stood up: "Grandpa, I’ll go back to read, if you need me, get Mrs. Liu to call me."

Wen Shusheng waved impatiently: "Go, go, don’t get in my way here."

"Ah!" Turning with her head down, Wen Xue felt a sudden blackness in front of her eyes, reflexively screamed and fell backward, her arm swinging heavily into Wen Yu’s stomach, who stumbled backward in pain, tripped on the protruding pebble and fell heavily.

"Xiao Yu!"

"Miss!"

Both Wen Xue and Yuanbao reached out, but couldn’t catch her. In a panic, Wen Xue swiftly fell sideways, narrowly cushioning Wen Yu’s fall.

Noticing a stone only two centimeters from his little granddaughter’s head, Wen Shusheng inhaled sharply. Had she hit it directly, the consequences could be unimaginable, so he frowned and instructed the frightened Yuanbao, "Tomorrow, have this path leveled, replaced with soft bricks."
