Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 816: Chapter 489: Grand Gift

"Little Ye’er, come here." Great Grandpa’s expression became serious.

Old Master Ye and Old Madam Ye quickly stepped back to make room for Luo Ye.

"Great Grandpa..." Luo Ye called softly, gently shaking Great Grandpa’s large hand, "What would you like me to do?"

"Little Ye’er, I know everything you’ve done." Great Grandpa turned his gaze to Old Master Ye and Old Madam Ye, "The Yellow Jade Bracelet, give it to Ye’er."

Old Master Ye was taken aback but quickly responded, "Yes, Father."

"No, no." Old Wen hurriedly stepped forward, "Great Grandpa, you’re too generous to Ye’er, and that’s Ye’er’s blessing, but this matter isn’t appropriate right now, it’s really not suitable..."

Great Grandpa glared at Old Wen, interrupting him, "Little Wen, why are you still so rigid? I say it’s fine, so it’s fine. Why all the fuss?"

Luo Ye looked at the elders with confusion, "What does this mean?"

Old Wen looked at Old Master Ye, "I’m just going by what’s rumored, Brother Ye, you explain."

"There is only one Yellow Jade Bracelet, and it’s been passed down in the Ye Family for hundreds of years. The female who wears it holds the same authority as the Family Head, and moreover, the wearer receives great physical benefits." Old Master Ye briefly explained.

"That’s not right, not right..." Luo Ye waved her hands repeatedly, "Grandpa is right, this is not suitable, definitely not suitable."

"What’s wrong with it?" Great Grandpa impatiently waved his hand, "I’m starving, Ye’er, hurry up and cook for me."

"Great Grandpa, I’ll go right away, but about the Yellow Jade Bracelet..."

"Why so wordy?" Great Grandpa glared at Luo Ye, "If I weren’t holding on with effort, I’d have fainted long ago. Go quickly!"

Old Master Ye waved at Luo Ye, "Ye’er, just let it be. This is Great Grandpa’s great acknowledgment of you, go on."

Luo Ye hesitantly looked at Granny Ye, "But Grandma..."

Old Madam Ye quickly said, "Ye’er, Grandma doesn’t have that fortune. Not every generation has a female who can wear the Yellow Jade Bracelet. Let’s not dive into specifics now. Go cook, Great Grandpa wants to eat your cooking, Ye’er, do it for him."

Luo Ye glanced at Great Grandpa, who was staring at her, and quickly agreed, "Okay, I’ll go right away, right away."

Great Grandpa turned his gaze, "I want to eat pork intestines!"

"No way!" Feng Taixing immediately objected, "Ye’er, just make porridge, millet porridge!"

Great Grandpa unhappily patted the bed, "I know my body. I want pork intestines."

"I’m calling the shots now." Feng Taixing waved at Luo Ye, "Quickly make millet porridge!"

"I want pork intestines. I was just competing with Xiao Xuan over pork intestines and finally got it, and now you’ve woken me up, you owe me!"

Old Madam Ye whispered to Luo Ye, "Great Grandpa used to love pork intestines the most. It seems not only his memory is back, but his taste too."

Luo Ye muttered as she walked out, "Great Grandpa doesn’t seem like someone who just woke up from a coma of more than half a year, the energy, it’s like he just slept one night and is still full of energy."

"Little Ye’er, if you train well, you can have a body like mine."

Great Grandpa’s shout startled Luo Ye, oh my god, this Ye Family’s martial arts are too miraculous! At this rate, Great Grandpa’s hearing is not inferior to mine at all.

"Dad, you see, we should..."

"Not going back, staying here, I want to be with Little Ye’er." Before Old Master Ye could finish his sentence, Great Grandpa had already waved it off.

"Well..." Old Master Ye looked troubled, previously when Great Grandpa hadn’t recovered, staying at the Wen Family was okay, but now...

"As long as Great Grandpa doesn’t mind, staying at the Wen Family is fine, but as for you two, I won’t keep you longer, after all, there are others in the Ye Family, staying too long is bad for both you and Ye’er." Old Wen quickly said.

"Alright, once Great Grandpa fully recovers, we will leave." Old Master Ye said while looking at Great Grandpa, seeing him deliberately close his eyes, he sighed helplessly and smiled bitterly, "Thanks, Brother Wen."

"Great Grandpa enjoys staying at the Wen Family, that’s our blessing." Old Wen chuckled as he came to the bedside, "Uncle Ye, if you need anything, just let me know."

"I won’t stand on ceremony." Great Grandpa said, waving his hand, "I’m tired, I want to sleep, everyone, carry on with their tasks."

"Dad, I’ll stay with you." Old Master Ye didn’t move.

Great Grandpa glanced at him, impatiently waving his hand, "This time I really want to sleep, quickly go, go!"

Seeing Old Master Ye still hesitating, Feng Taixing waved his hand: "The Grand Old Master really needs to rest. It’s already beyond my expectations that he could hold on for so long."

"Sorry to trouble you, Elder Feng." Old Master Ye reluctantly stepped out.

Once the room was left with only Feng Taixing, the Grand Old Master opened his eyes, looked around, and beckoned to Feng Taixing: "Come here."

Feng Taixing quickly stepped forward: "What do you need, sir?"

"I want to eat pig intestines!"

Feng Taixing: "..."

...

On the third day, Ye Family members successively visited the Wen Family to see the Grand Old Master. The next day, the Ye Family group returned to Beijing. Two days later, Old Master Ye went back to Sha City alone—to deliver a bracelet.

In front of the Wen Family, the Grand Old Master handed the Yellow Jade Bracelet to Luo Ye. Seeing Luo Ye about to say something, he glared: "Are you upset because Great Grandpa stayed at the Wen Family?"

"No, you know that’s not it. You always like to accuse people unfairly." Luo Ye looked at the Grand Old Master helplessly, "I’ve already learned the story behind this bracelet; how can I just accept it like that?"

Indeed, she had learned everything about the Yellow Jade Bracelet from Ye Qingzhu. Aside from being the highest symbol of authority in the Ye Family, it was something only the distinguished women of the Ye Family could have. But she, did she ever qualify for that? If she were to accept it just like this, even if the other Ye Family members didn’t say it out loud, they surely wouldn’t be happy about it, right?

"Little Ye’er, Great Grandpa knows what you’re thinking." The Grand Old Master turned serious, "Ye’er, tell Great Grandpa the truth, are you still thinking about that boy from the Feng Family?"

"Great Grandpa, what are you saying!" Luo Ye looked frustrated, "If you don’t trust me, you shouldn’t give this thing to me at all."

"It’s not that Great Grandpa doesn’t trust you. I’m just helping you analyze this matter." The Grand Old Master glared at her, "Misunderstand my intentions again, and I’ll knock some sense into you!"

"So overbearing!" Luo Ye grumbled discontentedly.

The Grand Old Master snorted: "Yes, I am overbearing. Whatever I say, I’ll never take back. Anyone who dares to trouble Ye’er over this will get their head smashed by me."

Old Master Wen twitched at the corners of his mouth and waved his hand: "Ye’er, just accept it. The Grand Old Master is a man of nature; let’s not be too polite."

"But..." Luo Ye looked at the lustrous treasure in her hand, troubled, "How can I wear this?"

"Wear it; it’s good for you." As the Grand Old Master pressed a small notch on the bracelet, with a "pop," the originally smooth bracelet split into two halves, revealing a hollow tube along the curve.

Pressing lightly at the end of the tube, a few soft yellow silk threads popped out. The Grand Old Master twisted them with his fingers, a faint smile on his lips, "Ye’er, there’s a very good reason for giving you this now. The toughness of this Golden Silkworm Silk is beyond imagination; neither water nor fire can harm it. For emergencies, there’s nothing more suitable."

"Great Grandpa..." Luo Ye looked at the Grand Old Master in surprise, "You knew everything I said while you were unconscious? Remembered all of it?"

"Pretty much. Once Ye’er joins the Fierce Tiger, she’ll inevitably participate in some special tasks. With this, it might just save the day." The Grand Old Master sighed, "Great Grandpa naturally hopes for Ye’er to be safe and sound, but I also understand that Ye’er is no little sparrow, and all I can do is try my best to keep her safe."

"Great Grandpa..." Luo Ye, choke with emotion, threw herself into the Grand Old Master’s arms, her shoulders gently trembling.

The Grand Old Master chuckled, "Silly girl, Xiao Xuan’s wife must stay safe and sound; Great Grandpa is just a bit selfish." As he spoke, he fastened the bracelet onto Luo Ye’s wrist, adjusted the clasp so that it fitted snugly on Luo Ye’s white, tender wrist, and shook her hand up and down, "See, convenient, right?"

"Thank you, Great Grandpa." Luo Ye nodded repeatedly, "It’s neither too tight nor does it fall off; it’s really convenient."

"Grand Old Master..." Old Master Wen wiped the corner of his eye, "The affection you have for Ye’er, the Wen Family is eternally grateful. In the future, whatever you ask of us, the Wen Family will do our utmost to fulfill it!"

The Grand Old Master waved his hand, "Alright, enough with the cheesy sentiment. I just want my great-granddaughter-in-law to be safe and healthy, and later give me a little great-grandson or granddaughter."

"Great Grandpa!" Luo Ye playfully snuggled in his arms.

The Grand Old Master chuckled, patting Luo Ye on the head, "Come, take Great Grandpa to soak in the hot spring," pointing at Grandpa Ye, "You silly old man, come with us. Since we rarely visit the Wen Family, let’s take advantage, right?"

Old Master Wen looked at the Grand Old Master with a sweat drop, lightly coughed, "Uncle Ye, in the future, any member of the Ye Family whom you approve can come to the Wen Family to enjoy the hot springs."

The Grand Old Master nodded in satisfaction, "Young Wen, I do find you agreeable. Back in the day, why didn’t you become my son-in-law? What a pity, truly a pity." Realizing he might have been inappropriate to Old Madam Wen, he smiled at her, "This is meant as a compliment."

Old Madam Wen smiled and nodded, "I won’t misunderstand."

...

Old Master Ye only stayed in Sha City for three days before returning to Beijing. Luo Ye, due to helping Professor Yu Wenze four evenings a week, could only choose three evenings without computer lab sessions to go back and accompany the Grand Old Master.

Learning of Great Grandpa’s recovery, Ye Xuan was so happy that he accidentally smashed half the table corner with a punch. Yet he also felt a bit down since the plan to return had been postponed from eight months to a year later. This made him anxious and restless, dampening his mood.

Days passed like this, and as the summer holiday ended, Luo Ye officially advanced to her sophomore year, and Luo Feng successfully enrolled in the Beijing Ren Da master’s program, starting a new Chapter once again.
