Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1552: Chapter 904: Brazen Defection (Part 2)

"Hmm, that’s true." Mr. Wen nodded, "Does Xiao Xue want to stay here permanently?"

"Second Grandpa, you..." Wen Xue looked at Mr. Wen with an anxious expression, increasingly unable to fathom what he intended to do.

Mr. Wen waved his hand: "It’s nothing, we’re just chatting casually, just answer Second Grandpa honestly."

"Second Grandpa, how could I have such thoughts? If I can occasionally come and stay for a while, I’m already overjoyed. I’m not that greedy."

"Do you like Ye Xuan?" Mr. Wen switched the topic again.

"I..." Wen Xue became even more flustered, what does this aimless conversation mean?

"It’s alright, just answer honestly, we’re just casually chatting."

Is this the kind of casual chat? Wen Xue secretly thought to herself, having no choice but to answer: "Second Grandpa, how could I like Ye Xuan, he’s my brother-in-law."

"Hmm, that’s good. Xiao Xue, you did say one thing right, the Wen Mansion here in Sha City is a bit different from the one in Beijing, and that is the existence of the Divine Spring.

Although the so-called Divine Spring isn’t as exaggerated as the outside world says, one thing is quite effective: anyone who tells a lie within this yard will face consequences.

So, Second Grandpa keeps telling you to just answer honestly, of course, I believe Xiao Xue wouldn’t lie."

"Of course, I wouldn’t lie." Wen Xue said, but her face started to darken, many things about the Sha City Wen Mansion were rumored to be mysterious.

Including her Grandpa, Old Master Wen, who had told her some of the mysterious aspects of the Sha City Mansion, which was one of the reasons Old Master Wen wanted to stay here.

So, Mr. Wen’s words couldn’t leave her unaffected, she also considered that Mr. Wen might be bluffing her, but what if it’s true?

"As long as you’re not lying, it’s good. Actually, I’m just casually chatting with you, Xiao Yu’s background is a bit pitiful, I noticed the elder brother is a bit cold to her, so I asked a few more questions. You are Xiao Yu’s sister, you should care for her more.

Even though your Grandpa kicked her out of the Wen Family, she’s still a blood relative, and if things really get out, it won’t be good for your future either.

This principle, I don’t need to explain, you understand it. At your age, you’re soon going to face the major event of marriage, and if you find someone of equal status, they will surely inquire about their future wife’s character and family situation.

If they find out you’re indifferent towards your own cousin, they’ll certainly have some thoughts. Xiao Xue, at your age, it’s time to think more for yourself."

"Second Grandpa, since you’ve come to this point, I also dare to ask, since you know that disharmony in the family affects the offspring’s marital affairs, why can’t you reconcile with my Grandpa?

If the two Wen families unite and strive together, maybe there might be some jealousy, but there would certainly be more admiration and reverence, right?

In such a case, the younger generation’s marriages would surely be more respected as well, Second Grandpa, do you think what I said is right?"

"What you said makes sense, but you’ve overlooked one thing, the two Wen families haven’t been harmonious for more than a day, and the separation hasn’t been a day either.

This matter, hardly anyone is unaware within the circle, if suddenly united, there would indeed be those who are truly afraid."

"Afraid?" Wen Xue looked puzzled, "I don’t understand what there’s to be afraid of, Second Grandpa?"

"It’s a very simple truth, people would fear that the reconciliation between the Wen family is just a façade, while one family actually controls the other.

In such a case, if they really marry into the family, who would ultimately hold the reins remain uncertain, and given the real backdrop of the Wen family, who would want to use their children as experiments?"

"Second Grandpa is right." Wen Xue echoed, her gaze wandering, Mr. Wen said nothing, allowing her to digest everything he had instilled in her.

"Second Grandpa, what do you think I should do?" After a while, Wen Xue raised her head, her eyes looking at Mr. Wen filled with confusion.

"How to do it, Second Grandpa can’t teach you, you’re a smart child, ponder it yourself, I also know your Grandpa’s character very well, he will surely have you prioritize family interests.

But you have to understand, there is no free lunch in this world, who would help you achieve your wishes without gaining any benefit?

In other words, if they gain little benefit, why would they strive to help you? Okay, to speak optimistically, in the end, your Grandpa’s wish is fulfilled, but, could it be that the Wen family’s name will change from Wen?

Under such circumstances, what significance does your sacrifice hold? The current Wen family in Beijing may not be comparable to before, but it still stands stronger than many affluent families.

Those seeking marriages won’t be from ordinary families, it’s still better than having a bad reputation and being caught in a situation where neither high nor low works, isn’t it?"

Wen Xue looked conflicted: "Second Grandpa, you’re bluffing me."

"How could I bluff you..." Mr. Wen chuckled, shaking his head, "Xiao Xue, your Grandpa thinks he is hiding well, that no one knows.

In fact, the circle has long heard about his trip to Canada for treatment, and everybody knows what illness he has.

You’re a smart child, in such circumstances, do you need Second Grandpa to clarify what intentions those shouting to help have?"

"Second Grandpa, you..." This time, Wen Xue was truly shocked, she had only recently found out about her Grandpa’s hospital stay...
