Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1551: Chapter 904: Brazen Defection

Old Mrs. Wen’s words and Mr. Wen’s expression clearly showed they didn’t accept Wen Xue. Her expression slightly stiffened, and she hugged Old Mrs. Wen’s arm with a chuckle: "Grandma, I have a good relationship with sister, you accepted her as your granddaughter, you can’t leave me out."

Old Mrs. Wen shivered, pulling her arm away: "Girl, I’m not familiar with you, don’t hold on to me like this, it’s uncomfortable."

No matter how thick-skinned Wen Xue was, she couldn’t help but feel embarrassed when Old Mrs. Wen refused her so directly. Her smile stiffened, she let go of Old Mrs. Wen’s arm, sat silently on the sofa, letting her tears drip down.

If she really made a fuss, it would only make her more annoying, but seeing her sitting there like a wronged little wife, Old Mrs. Wen’s heart softened, sighing softly: "Stop crying, tell me what you want to eat, Grandma will make it for you."

"Grandma, are you serious?" Her eyes still brimming with tears, yet her face lit up with a big smile. This side of Wen Xue softened Old Mrs. Wen’s already melting heart even more, her smile inexplicably kind, "Of course it’s true, Grandma’s so old, why would I joke?"

"Grandma, I just knew you were the best grandma." Wen Xue coyly hugged Old Mrs. Wen’s arm, "Grandma, do you know why I call you Grandma instead of Second Grandma?" She addressed Mr. Wen as Second Grandpa.

Seeing his wife about to be won over, Mr. Wen could only speak up: "Your health is not good, stop overworking yourself, go upstairs and rest for a while."

"Alright." Always obedient to Mr. Wen’s orders, Old Mrs. Wen readily agreed, standing up, "Xiao Yu, Grandma will make something delicious for you tonight."

Wen Xue’s expression stiffened again, Old Mrs. Wen only mentioned making something delicious for Xiao Yu, didn’t this mean that the effect she just achieved was lost again?

Wen Yu got up to support Old Mrs. Wen: "Grandma, I’ll accompany you upstairs."

"I’ll join too."

Before Wen Xue could move, Mr. Wen quickly called her: "Wen Xue, don’t go, I have something to say to you."

"Yes." Wen Xue was well aware of who ruled the house, no matter how unwilling she was, it wasn’t good to go against it.

"Come with me over there." Mr. Wen said as he walked towards the side hall.

"Whispering behind my back, are you planning to say something inappropriate? She’s my granddaughter!" Old Master Wen couldn’t hold back anymore, witnessing everything with a cold eye just now.

Mr. Wen stopped, looking at Old Master Wen with a faint smile: "If you’re afraid, you might as well take your granddaughter and leave now."

"No need for that." Old Master Wen waved his hand, "Say what you need to say, I have nothing to fear, Xiao Xue, go ahead."

It seemed Old Master Wen intended to be stubborn to the end. Mr. Wen cast him a bland glance, turned and entered the side hall, Wen Xue hesitated for a moment, then followed him in.

After sitting down, Mr. Wen smiled at Wen Xue: "Xiao Xue, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty-four." Wen Xue looked at Mr. Wen a bit nervously, unsure of why he wanted to see her and uncertain if she could handle it.

But now the arrow was on the bowstring, she couldn’t hesitate any longer. She believed that if she didn’t listen to Mr. Wen’s teachings, he would definitely kick her out. Grandpa might stick around, but as a younger generation, she wouldn’t be as lucky.

She thought she acted like a clueless young girl well enough, but it seemed playing dumb hadn’t done her any good.

"How old is Xiao Yu?"

"She’s twenty-five, eight months older than me."

"Oh, you two grew up together, didn’t you?"

"Yes."

"How’s your relationship?"

Wen Xue didn’t quite understand why Mr. Wen kept asking about her and Xiao Yu, but she had to bite the bullet and answer: "We’re like sisters."

"Really?" Mr. Wen raised an eyebrow with a smile, "From my observation, it doesn’t seem that way."

Wen Xue’s expression turned uneasy: "We... we’ve had a minor disagreement recently."

"Oh, I see." Mr. Wen acted as if he just understood, then changed the subject, "Xiao Xue, do you like this house here?"

"I do."

"Do you think this house is better or the one in Beijing? I’m referring to the old Wen Family house in Beijing, not where you’re living now."

"Each has its own merits, but in terms of scenery, this house here is better, and it has the Divine Spring, which the other one doesn’t have."
