Chapter 1553: Chapter 905: Success?
"Hehe... There’s an old saying: ’If you don’t want people to know, don’t do it...’ As Mr. Wen spoke, he stood up, "You’re still young, you need to think more about the future. No matter what, you are still a descendant of the Wen Family, Second Grandpa always wants to do his best for you."
"Second Grandpa." Wen Xue stepped forward, tugging at Mr. Wen’s sleeve, her eyes filled with struggle, "Second Grandpa, what do you think I should do?"
"This matter, Second Grandpa cannot make the decision for you..." Mr. Wen sat back down and sighed softly, "Xiao Xue, let’s put it this way. Even if I tell you the most suitable way to handle it, once you leave through that door and your grandpa persuades you a bit, or something changes again.
So, this matter ultimately depends on you. You need to figure out what you truly want, how you plan to walk your future path, only then you can hold on, Second Grandpa just wants to remind you, what this world lacks, is a remedy for regret."
"I..." Wen Xue sat down on the chair in a daze, silent for a long while.
In fact, she had thought about these things long ago, but she just never wanted to face them. Now, with Mr. Wen’s reminder, her heart was filled with tangled thoughts.
Grandpa seemed to love her very much, but as soon as it involved family interests, or to put it bluntly, involved Grandpa’s personal interests, he would immediately push her out.
Take this time for example, Grandpa’s so-called method, completely ignored her future happiness. She wasn’t stupid, how could the Ye Family accept a woman brazenly as the third party?
And she knew grandpa’s thoughts yet still willing to cooperate, simply because she really liked Ye Xuan, even if she had to lower her head as the third party, as long as the other side acknowledged her, she would be overjoyed.
Such a man, probably no girl wouldn’t like him, right?
Why does heaven favor Luo Ye so much? She’s not that much worse off than her, but whether it’s career or love, why is there such a gap?
If she could be half as lucky as Luo Ye, she would be satisfied.
So, should she give up or persist next?
If she gives up, will there be a day when she regrets standing so close to Ye Xuan, and perhaps, by persisting a little longer, she could actually become his woman...
But if she persists, what if Ye Xuan never accepts her? By that time, the people on Second Grandpa’s side would not help her, and Grandpa might no longer value her, then her future would be bleak.
"Second Grandpa..." Wen Xue only realized after calling out that Mr. Wen had already left at some point, so she closed the door and curled up inside...
...
"Grandpa..." Wen Yu, who was accompanying Old Mrs. Wen chatting in the bedroom, saw Mr. Wen come in and quickly stood up to greet him.
"Sit down." Mr. Wen chuckled as he sat on the sofa, looking at Old Mrs. Wen with a guilty expression, "You’ve had a soft heart for years, don’t worry, it’s okay now."
Old Mrs. Wen sat up straight with joy: "Did Big Brother agree to leave?"
"Is it that easy?" Grandpa Wen shook his head, "How can you not know Big Brother’s temper after all these years?"
"Then why do you say it’s okay?" Old Mrs. Wen leaned back in disappointment, "In a few days, Ah Hua and Ah Gui are getting married, and Ye’er and Xiao Xuan’s marriage is also on the agenda, if he keeps coming to make trouble, sigh..."
Mr. Wen waved his hand with a smile: "Don’t worry, he will leave."
Old Mrs. Wen thought for a moment and asked: "What just happened?"
Mr. Wen didn’t answer his wife, but looked at Wen Yu instead: "Xiao Yu, what do you think of Xiao Xue?"
After a moment of pondering, Wen Yu chose her words carefully: "Her character is the complete opposite of mine. Growing up, Grandpa adored her and disliked me, so I always tried my best to make Grandpa like me a bit more, while whatever she did, Grandpa would always love.
As a result, she has developed a reckless and willful character, as long as it’s something she wants, no matter what the cost, she must get it, but she’s only spoiled, she’s not innately bad."
Mr. Wen nodded: "Yes, Grandpa also thinks her nature isn’t bad. Xiao Yu, after all, you are sisters, if you can help her out, do so."
"Grandpa means?"
Because Mr. Wen and Old Mrs. Wen had already said, that going forward she would be their granddaughter, Wen Yu addressed them directly as "Grandpa and Grandma."
"I just had a chat with Xiao Xue, she’s feeling quite conflicted, but I believe she’s a smart kid, eventually, she should figure out what she wants."
"Do you mean I should try to enlighten her?" Wen Yu frowned as she spoke, "Grandpa, wasn’t my Grandpa just here?"
"He was. I called Xiao Xue to the side room in his presence." Mr. Wen sighed lightly, "Xiao Yu, do your best, don’t leave room for future regret."
"Okay, I’ll go check on her now." As Wen Yu said this, she turned her gaze to Old Mrs. Wen, "Grandma, I’ll go see how Xiao Xue is doing first."
Old Mrs. Wen waved her hand: "Go ahead, if you can’t persuade her, don’t force yourself."
"I understand, Grandpa and Grandma, see you later."
After Wen Yu left, Old Mrs. Wen looked at Mr. Wen with confusion: "Honey, do you think it’s necessary?"
"Yes, it is." Mr. Wen sighed again, "Both Xiao Yu and Xiao Xue are victims, no matter the situation, we have to show some concern.
You know the eldest’s temper; he’s too conceited. He can guess what I talked about with Xiao Xue, so he absolutely doesn’t believe I can persuade Xiao Xue.
But he’s overlooking one thing. Over these years, most of his kindness to Xiao Xue has been superficial. When it comes to making real choices, Xiao Xue might not follow his game plan."
"Alas, the eldest brother..." Old Mrs. Wen shook her head, not continuing. After all, he’s her big brother-in-law; good or bad, it’s not convenient for her to say too much.
"He was always competitive, and after the surgery, his personality became even more extreme, so no matter what happens, it wouldn’t be surprising."
"That’s true, but it’s the children who suffer from his competitiveness, sigh!"
"The matter with the eldest brother has been ongoing, it’s not just a day or two, don’t stress yourself over it. Ah Hua and Aji’s marriage is the pressing matter you should focus on." Mr. Wen said, unable to hold back another sigh, "Ending up like this with big brother, going underground in the future, there’s no way to explain."
When Wen Yu found the side hall, Wen Xue was still inside, hugging her knees and daydreaming. "Xiao Xue..." Wen Yu gently poked Wen Xue with her fingertip.
"Hmm?" Wen Xue looked at Wen Yu dazedly, her eyes gradually focusing, her expression becoming clearer, "Why did you come here?"
"I came to keep you company." Wen Yu sighed lightly, "How long has it been since the two of us sisters sat together and talked properly?"
"What’s there to talk about?" Wen Xue’s lips curled into a mocking smile, "You must be ordered to come and persuade me, right?
Ha... They said they wouldn’t interfere with my decision, and yet they immediately sent someone to persuade me. Second Grandpa, he really is a gentleman."
"You’re mistaken, Grandpa told me to come and keep you company, but he just said that you must be quite conflicted now and need someone by your side. After all, we’re sisters, when you’re in trouble, as your elder sister, it’s my responsibility to be with you."
Wen Xue pouted: "Isn’t that the same thing."
"How could it be the same thing?" Wen Yu leaned in a bit closer, "Xiao Xue, I hope you can set aside your preconceptions to think things through.
Whatever Grandpa arranges for you, and whatever plans he has for your future, you must be very clear. If Second Grandpa had bad intentions, he wouldn’t have let me come to persuade you.
Although I’ve only met Ye Xuan a few times, I can very confidently tell you that no one in this world can interfere with his feelings for Ye’er.
In other words, apart from Ye’er, he sees no one else. No matter how hard you try, it’s futile.
And if this continues long-term, you might end up like the second Qiao Xiaowan. We all know what happened to her; I don’t need to elaborate, right?"
Wen Xue’s expression softened gradually. Qiao Xiaowan’s situation is no secret in the Beijing circles, and precisely because of this, opinions about Luo Ye are polarizing.
Some say she’s ruthless and unforgiving, while others say she has a pure heart and that Qiao Xiaowan got what she deserved. But after seeing Luo Ye in person, she felt that both viewpoints seemed biased.
However, she’s clear that if she really follows Grandpa’s instructions, the result will likely be bad. Just the attitude of Luo Ye’s relatives and friends alone shows that if she dares to provoke her, those people might tear her to pieces.
At life’s crossroads, which way should she go? She’s really confused now. If one doesn’t think for themselves, they’re doomed. But what choice is most beneficial for her?
The two sisters stayed in the room for almost two hours before coming out one after the other. During this time, Old Master Wen sat with a gloomy face in the hall.
"Xiao Xue, come back to the room with me."
Once back in the room with the door closed, Old Master Wen spoke coldly: "Don’t tell me they swayed you."
"Why not?" Wen Xue raised an eyebrow, "Just like how Grandpa only thinks about himself, I want to consider myself more, what’s wrong with that?"
"You think they’re really doing this for your benefit?" Old Master Wen’s eyebrows practically stood up, "I was so confident that you, as my granddaughter, wouldn’t be influenced by them, but never thought..." He sighed and stared at Wen Xue without continuing.
Wen Xue rubbed her head forcefully: "Grandpa, I’m sorry, I need time to sort things out. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to my room."
