Chapter 1179 - 703: Warning / Return
Lei Dawei was catching an evening flight back to Beijing, and left the Wen Family before six o’clock. Before leaving, he called Luo Ye out to give her a few instructions privately, telling her to find Feng Tianzhi for documents early the next day and then head to Yuanzhou Art Troupe with Zhao Qianqian for registration.
Luo Ye seized the opportunity to detail her conversation with Lu Qingqing.
By doing this, regardless of whether Lu Qingqing’s father is involved or not, it would be easier to handle, and it can also prevent anyone from raising criticisms in the future.
After a moment of silence, a smile appeared in Lei Dawei’s eyes, "This is actually a good thing. You can take this opportunity to understand it thoroughly. It’s beneficial both personally and professionally."
Luo Ye blinked, "Director Lei, you agreed to this yourself. If anyone complains, you have to testify for me."
"You’re being quite cautious. The relationship between Lu Qingqing and Wen Su isn’t even confirmed yet. As long as you have some sense, you should realize, is it possible to risk your own and your family’s reputation for someone uncertain?"
Luo Ye shrugged and pouted, "You can’t be sure about such things. Some people just love to meddle, as long as others suffer, they’re happy."
Lei Dawei looked her over, "Got a target?"
"No, this is to prevent trouble before it happens. You could also say I’m used to being wronged, or you could say I have a deep understanding of human nature."
Lei Dawei helplessly pointed at her, "You, at such a young age... forget it, let me tell you something. The Wen Family in Beijing has moved out of their ancestral home and are now neighbors with the Yang Family."
"Oh?" Luo Ye furrowed her brows but said nothing.
"I should be the first to know; you might be the second." Knowing what she was thinking, Lei Dawei explained, "Your Grandpa and the Ye Family might not have gotten the news yet.
I was able to know first because I kept someone watching them. Ye’er, there are some things I’m helpless to do from my position, but protecting you is something I must do."
"Thank you." Luo Ye looked at him seriously. "I know you’re worried that because of the Hang Family’s matter, I might have some opinions about you, right?
Rest assured, I’m not that narrow-minded. I can understand your difficulties. In other words, when you’re with me, you may advise me to let it go, but when you’re with your superior, you must be arguing vehemently with them.
Your nickname ’Tiger Lei’ — I don’t believe it was given to you for no reason. Director Lei, even if one day I’m wronged, I will never lose faith in you, nor will I blame you."
Lei Dawei smiled relievedly and got into the car, "Go back, call me if you need anything, don’t try to handle it all by yourself."
"I know, I won’t risk my life for nothing, and..." Luo Ye smiled playfully, "I also know that giving me this task was your way of giving me a chance to go home and see."
"And you still negotiated terms with me knowing that?" Lei Dawei glared at her, the car quickly drove off.
"Would I earn an extra day if I didn’t negotiate?" Luo Ye mumbled with a smile as she turned to walk back. Halfway through, Aji approached, "Miss Ye’er."
Luo Ye glanced at his tightly clasped hands and smiled, "Grandpa Ji, you wouldn’t be in a hurry to tie the knot tonight, would you?"
Aji laughed awkwardly, "Miss Ye’er, I wouldn’t be that eager. I just want to know when the Grandpa will return."
"Does Grandpa Ji want Grandpa to officiate the wedding?" Luo Ye said as she pat her forehead, "It’s my oversight. I’ll call Great Grandpa right away; he’d certainly be delighted."
Old Master and Old Mrs. Wen were supposed to sit as the parents of both sides, so a wedding officiant of similar age and standing was needed.
A week ago, Grandpa just returned to Beijing because Boss Ye came back from abroad. There was no way Boss Ye could go to the Wen Family to see Grandpa, so Grandpa was reluctantly taken back.
"No, no..." Aji waved his hands repeatedly, "With Aji’s status, how could I invite Grandpa? I just hope Grandpa can come and have a celebratory drink; he was the first to urge Aji and Ah Hua to get married."
"I’ll ask Great Grandpa then; he doesn’t have an old-fashioned nature. If he hosts, Grandma Hua will be pleased." Luo Ye said while dialing Grandpa’s number.
Sure enough, as soon as Grandpa heard Luo Ye’s request, he immediately agreed and promised to come back to Sha City in two days. Luo Ye said there was no need to hurry, but the call was already cut off. With a little thought, she understood that Grandpa probably didn’t want to see Boss Ye, so he took this chance to slip away merrily.
"Grandpa Ji, go share the good news with Grandma Hua. Great Grandpa is flying over tomorrow; no one can take the spot as the officiant now."
"Thank you, Miss Ye’er, hehehe..." Aji was so excited he couldn’t stop grinning foolishly. Having Grandpa officiate was such an honor; hardly anyone could have invited him successfully.
Upon returning to the main hall, Luo Ye saw Mr. Wen, looking rejuvenated, sitting on the sofa chatting with Wen Su. It seemed he had an engaging conversation with Lei Dawei.
"Grandpa, how did you get ten years younger while I was out for just a bit?"
"How could I not be happy when my granddaughter is so accomplished?" Mr. Wen replied, glancing at the other juniors, "Each of you must do your best, or else, how can you qualify as Ye’er’s brother or sister?"
"I’m the younger brother, no worries." Little Pumpkin proudly raised his eyebrows, "With an accomplished sister, my face shines so brightly. Second sister, you should work harder and aim to be on TV every day in the future.
Then, I can proudly point at the beautiful leader on TV and show off to everyone, see, that’s my sister!"
Luo Ye, half laughing and half crying, tapped his forehead: "Why don’t you work hard yourself, so I can point at the handsome leader on TV and show off to everyone, that’s my brother!"
Everyone: "..."
During dinner, Wen Tong surprisingly returned with Hua Rong, who was smiling happily, Luo Ye, Wen Ke, and Wen Nan quickly went to greet them.
"Little aunt, how come you forgave little uncle so quickly? You should have let him stew for a few months and made him regret not seeing the baby born for a lifetime."
"Exactly, little aunt, you’re too kind-hearted, how could you let uncle off so easily?"
"Little aunt, come back and share a room with me, ignore uncle."
"..."
Li Niangying, Luo Ye’s big aunt, hurriedly stepped forward, smiling helplessly as she pulled the younger ones: "Alright, alright, don’t be rowdy, let Rongrong sit down and rest quickly. She’s carrying a double load now, do you think she can withstand as much as before?"
"Big sister-in-law, I’m not that delicate." Hua Rong spoke as she walked up to greet Old Mrs. Wen and Mr. Wen: "Dad, Mom, I’m back."
Old Mr. Wen nodded, while Old Mrs. Wen chuckled, pointing to the sofa: "Xiao Rong, sorry for the trouble, our family isn’t strict on etiquette, quickly sit down."
"Thank you, Mom." Hua Rong replied and sat across from the two elders, Wen Tong quickly sat beside her, gesturing for her to lean against him.
"No need," Hua Rong pushed Wen Tong away and waved to Luo Ye, "Ye’er, I returned because of you, come sit next to me."
Wen Tong didn’t want to get up and kept signaling to Luo Ye, but Luo Ye played dumb: "Little uncle, what’s wrong with your eyes? Little aunt is a doctor, let her check for you."
Wen Tong twitched his mouth and quickly yielded the seat, trying to cover up: "Maybe it’s the cold and heat causing eyelid twitches, it’ll be better soon."
Hua Rong ignored him, pulled Luo Ye to sit beside her, tenderly stroked her cheek: "Ye’er, you’ve gotten skinnier, you really need to eat better."
"A little skinnier looks better, others want to slim down but can’t reach my level, plus, I’m not skinny, I’m solid." Luo Ye said while extending her arm, "If you don’t believe it, little aunt, try pinching."
"You always have your reasons." Hua Rong laughed and poked her forehead, pointing at the slightly reserved Lu Qingqing, "Look at Qingqing, that’s what a standard figure should be."
"No, no, I’m way too fat." Lu Qingqing waved her hands anxiously, "Compared to Ye’er, I’m about to turn into a fat pig. Standing by her side makes me feel so insecure."
Seeing that the food was ready, Old Mrs. Wen called out: "Alright, let’s eat. You may not be hungry, but my little grandson is."
Little Pumpkin made a funny face: "Oh dear, the little one isn’t even born yet, and we’ve lost our status. When he’s born, will Grandma still know who I am?"
Luo Ye quickly replied: "No worries, even if Grandma doesn’t recognize you, Little Mi will." Little Mi is Xiang Mingliang’s daughter, now eleven years old, just finished changing her baby teeth and already showing signs of becoming a little beauty, Wen Nan was thinking about her all the time.
"Indeed, seeing Little Pumpkin like this, after he gets a wife, he’ll surely forget about Grandma." Old Mrs. Wen lovingly patted her grandson’s head, "Nannan, Grandma likes Little Mi, you’d better watch out and not let other boys steal her away."
"That’s a given, Little Mi’s tag has long been attached to your grandson, whoever dares to steal her, just watch me take action."
Wen Ke shot him a sideways glance: "Look at your smug face, I don’t know who gets all anxious and can’t sleep when seeing boy classmates go to and from school with Little Mi."
"Alright, Little Pumpkin should focus his energy on studying now, talk about other things later." Mr. Wen glared at Wen Nan, "During the year-end exams, if you don’t rank in the top five of your grade, you will live at school afterward, coming home only once a month."
"Grandpa..." Wen Nan wailed, looking to Old Mrs. Wen for help, "Grandma."
"What your grandfather said is right, boys only get liked by girls if they have talent, study hard. As long as you’re excellent enough, Little Mi will surely be yours."
Wen Nan: "Can’t live like this anymore, I forgot, Grandma always follows Grandpa’s lead, forget it, I won’t eat, I’ll go back to the room and study." As he spoke, he stood up, slowly dragging out one step, then another step...
