Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1172 - 699: Wen Tong’s Shortcomings

"Miss Ye’er..." Grandma Hua hesitated as she looked at Aji, who barely shook his head. Grandma Hua then rubbed Luo Ye’s little hand back and forth, "Miss Ye’er, Grandma Hua missed you so much."

"Grandma Hua, that’s not what you were about to say earlier. Did you think I didn’t notice you and Grandpa Ji exchanging glances?" Luo Ye said as she glanced between the two of them, "How about I suggest to Grandma and Grandpa that we hold a grand wedding for you and Grandpa Ji?"

Ah Hua waved her hand repeatedly: "Miss Ye’er, Aji and I are friends. If you say that to them, how could we face her in the future?"

Aji moved his lips slightly and turned his gaze out the window. Lei Dawei glanced at the two elders through the rearview mirror, his eyes quickly filling with amusement.

Noticing Lei Dawei’s expression, Ah Hua was genuinely embarrassed, twisting her body shyly like an eighteen-year-old girl: "Miss Ye’er, I’ll tell you later, okay?"

"Okay."

The car had already stopped, so whether or not it was okay, it had to be.

"Old Wen, I’m here to apologize to you." As soon as he stepped into the foyer, Lei Dawei stretched out his hand and walked towards Old Master Wen.

"What are you talking about? This young girl Ye’er is something else, not even giving us a heads up when Commander Lei visits. We were just sitting here idly, it’s really impolite." Old Master Wen quickly got up to welcome him, giving Luo Ye a stern look, "Did you also tell the people at the door not to report his arrival?"

Lei Dawei clarified, "This isn’t Ye’er’s fault, it was my idea."

"You all spoil her, this girl is about to be spoiled rotten." Old Master Wen said this, but his eyes were full of doting affection as he looked at Luo Ye.

Over there, Old Mrs. Wen was being helped downstairs. Luo Ye ran over and hugged her, "Grandma, I missed you so much."

"You little rascal, always saying sweet things to coax Grandma. If you miss Grandma, why don’t you come and visit, or at least call? Don’t you know Grandma worries about you?" The old lady said as she rubbed Luo Ye’s back, "This child, you’ve gotten so skinny, all bones when I touch you. Sigh, when will you be able to take care of yourself..."

"Uncle Wen, Aunt Wen, Little Ye’er has been over at Ye Xuan’s place recently. It’s Ye Xuan who didn’t look after her well. When this girl is with Ye Xuan, where does she have time to call home?"

"Director Lei, adding insult to injury, huh?" Luo Ye supported Grandma to the sofa, while her eyes were on Lei Dawei who was sitting solemnly in front of the tea set, "Is there something you haven’t considered? You can add insult to injury, but so can I."

"Ye’er, is that how you speak to your elders?" Old Master Wen glared at his granddaughter and turned to Lei Dawei, "This child, spoiled by us, don’t take it to heart, Commander Lei."

"Grandpa, you just said I was spoiled by Director Lei, now you say it’s by you. I’m a little confused, who exactly spoiled me?"

Old Master Wen snorted, "Yourself!"

"Uh..." Luo Ye smacked her lips speechlessly, "You’re right, no one spoils better than oneself. Grandpa, from now on, I’ll just spoil myself."

"Just look at her, acting all spoiled and unreasonable, I don’t know who she takes after." Old Master Wen pointed at Luo Ye, but his eyes were on Lei Dawei.

"This temperament is pretty good." Lei Dawei said, becoming serious, "Uncle Wen, I’m indeed here to offer an apology today. Could I have a word with you in private?"

Old Master Wen stood up, "Let’s go to the study."

"Ye’er, are you going on dangerous missions again?" After Old Master Wen and Lei Dawei went to the study, Old Mrs. Wen caressed her granddaughter’s head, her eyes full of concern, "Listen to Grandma, don’t stay with Fierce Tiger anymore.

When you’re not around, I can’t help but worry, and if this keeps up, I’m afraid I’ll have to report to King Yan early."

Luo Zhong rubbed his cheek against the old lady’s calloused hand, "Grandma, give me two years. After two years, I won’t take on any missions and will settle down in the army, okay?"

"You, you’re really stubborn, a beautiful and gentle girl like you insisting on doing what even men can’t do, sigh!" The old lady sighed helplessly, "Alright then, Grandma won’t force you, but remember, no matter what happens, staying alive is the most important."

Luo Ye giggled, "Okay, I’ll listen to you. If there’s any danger, I’ll run away. If they catch me, I’ll just say it was Grandma’s orders."

The old lady nodded seriously, "Alright, just like that."

Luo Ye: "..."

Ah Hua, who was sitting nearby listening to the conversation between the grandmother and granddaughter, saw Luo Ye at a loss and covered her toothless mouth as she chuckled. Luo Ye blinked at her several times, quietly pointed to Aji’s position, and the old lady quickly stopped laughing, sitting up straight. But due to her age, her body wobbled slightly as she did so.

"Ah Hua is an honest person, don’t scare her!" Old Mrs. Wen poked Luo Ye’s forehead, "You came back without telling us in advance. Keke and Nangua have gone out to meet classmates, who knows when they’ll return. By the way, your second brother is seeing a girl, I told him to bring her over tonight." The old lady then instructed Aji, "Call Little Su and tell him Ye’er wants to see his girlfriend."

"Got it!" Aji hurriedly answered and went to make the call.

"Grandma, what does second brother’s girlfriend do? Is she pretty? Is she easy to get along with?" Luo Ye asked in a string of questions.

"Your second brother’s girlfriend is his classmate. She’s quite pretty, and her temper is good too. Your second brother said for the final check, he’ll leave it to Ye’er. As long as Ye’er approves, she’ll be our Wen family’s granddaughter-in-law."

"Tsk tsk, that’s a heavy responsibility." Luo Ye wrinkled her little nose, "Second brother is too mean; this job is bound to offend people. He’s not doing this for me, he’s pushing me into the fire pit.

Grandma, what if I don’t think she’s suitable, but second brother is too deeply involved, and in the end, he marries her anyway? How would I get along with my sister-in-law then?"

The old lady hugged her granddaughter and shook her: "Your second brother said he would listen to Ye’er, he definitely will. The key is that the girl is chasing your second brother, and he’s been waiting for you to make the call on whether to continue."

"Really?" Luo Ye laughed with a giggle, "I never expected my second brother to have such charm. I never thought I had such a unique position in my second brother’s heart. By the way, Grandma, is little aunt taking a nap?" Hua Rong lost her first pregnancy, and this time she’s been pregnant for over two months. Luo Ye pondered since she hadn’t seen Hua Rong yet, perhaps she was asleep.

"Your little aunt has gone back to her parents’ house." Old Mrs. Wen’s eyes flickered, "The first three months are dangerous. Old Sir Hua asked her to stay with them for a while, so he can take good care of her."

The old lady’s demeanor couldn’t escape Luo Ye’s eyes. So displeased, she shook her: "Grandma, don’t lie to me. It’s because little aunt and little uncle had a fight, right? Does Grandma take me for a child?"

Old Mrs. Wen gave a bitter smile: "I didn’t want to lie to Ye’er. Ye’er has been so tired lately, Grandma didn’t want Ye’er to worry."

"Sigh, it’s our own family, there’s nothing to worry about. Little uncle and little aunt’s matchmaker was me, and they both treat me so well. If there’s a problem between them, how can I not be told?

Grandma, be honest with me. Is the reason for little uncle and little aunt’s quarrel because little uncle keeps giving financial aid to the Liang family?"

Old Mrs. Wen stared in surprise at her granddaughter: "How does Ye’er know so clearly?"

"Qi Bin told me." Luo Ye sighed lightly, "Originally, I planned to find a chance to chat with little uncle after coming back, but I didn’t expect it had already happened."

"Your little uncle is confused. He feels guilty towards Liang Huarui, sends money to her family, and didn’t even tell us. So, Liang Huarui showed up at the door, and your grandpa and I knew nothing.

That day, your little aunt was also at home. Liang Huarui pointed at her nose, calling her a vixen, accusing your little aunt of stealing her boyfriend, which is your little uncle.

Liang Huarui’s condition fluctuates, sometimes clear-minded, sometimes muddled. On the day she came, she was sharp and had no ailment. She even showed all the transfer records your little uncle made.

Initially, your grandpa and I thought she was making trouble on purpose. After all, the transfer slip didn’t list specifics, and as fate would have it, your little uncle came home.

You know your little uncle’s temperament. Pressed by Liang Huarui, he admitted that he sent the money. Your little aunt was so angry she fainted right then.

After waking up, she called Hua Yuan to fetch her from the hospital back to her parents’ home. She’s been there for thirteen days now, although she hasn’t explained the reason to Old Sir Hua, otherwise, he would’ve come charging over."

"This is little uncle’s fault. He must go and admit his mistake in person and persuade little aunt to come back. No one could bear this, especially since he and little aunt are already married. Even if he feels guilty towards Liang Huarui, he should discuss it with little aunt. How could he do this?"

"Yes, if Liang Huarui came over and little aunt knew about it, the outcome would have been different..." Old Mrs. Wen shook her head, "Your little uncle liked to follow your older uncles and mom around since he was little, he’s soft and indecisive, often thinking too little in what he does."

"This isn’t just thinking too little, it’s outright brainless!" Luo Ye snorted, "Grandma, we all shouldn’t help little uncle with this. Let him solve it himself, to avoid making such foolish mistakes again."

"Okay, listen to Ye’er." The old lady smiled embarrassedly, "I originally planned to have Ye’er go and persuade Hua Rong."

"Comforting little aunt is a must, but for little uncle to personally warm little aunt’s heart before bringing her back is also essential." Luo Ye sighed lightly, "Little uncle is good in every aspect, except he’s always indecisive when it comes to feelings."
