Chapter 897: Chapter 541: The Sisters Arrive
Chapter 551
"From what you’re saying, it sounds like both Grandpa and Grandpa want to be the Family Head, right? If it were the current Grandpa, he would definitely take a step back; at that time, I’m afraid..." Luo Ye stopped speaking.
"Things weren’t as chaotic as they seemed. According to Grandpa Wen’s verbal will, the Family Head was passed to Grandpa, but Grandpa was not willing and insisted that he wasn’t aware of the verbal will.
The situation was deadlocked for a long time, with the Wen Family facing potential severe damage. Eventually, Grandpa stepped back, dividing Beijing’s stronghold to Grandpa and Sha City’s stronghold to Grandpa."
Luo Ye nodded in realization: "So that’s how it is."
"Do you know why I’m telling you this?"
"Yes, I roughly understand. You probably want to tell me that back in those days, the Wen Family didn’t suffer too much loss, like a blessing in disguise, right?"
"Exactly." Ye Xuan nodded, "The Wen Family in Beijing focuses on politics, while the Wen Family in Sha City focuses on business, and both hardly interact."
"Logically speaking, those who have a grudge against the Wen Family would take advantage of this, but they haven’t..." Luo Ye paused, "I understand now. They haven’t acted because they have reservations since they’re from the same origin. If they truly acted against one, it might cause the two separate Wen Families to unite, which might be the real reason why the Wen Family’s power wasn’t diminished despite splitting."
Ye Xuan nodded: "You could say that, but there’s another reason. Grandpa is worried Grandpa’s side is developing too quickly, often causing trouble, and some people seem to be addicted to the drama."
"I understand." A hint of resentment quickly flashed in Luo Ye’s eyes. She truly understood now; in the previous life, Grandpa didn’t let her mother return to the Wen Family probably because he was too embroiled in fighting with Grandpa to care.
Later on, not bringing her back to the Wen Family was probably because he realized she was scarcely protected by Jiang Zheng, and didn’t want her to be trapped in such a stressful life..., yes, that must be it.
So, in the previous life, Grandpa wasn’t without blame for the Luo Family’s predicament.
There are always some people, who, when fighting within the family, are the smartest and most aggressive, even when outsiders mock them, they still feel they’ve gained an advantage.
"By the way, is the Wen Family’s strength ranked behind the Ye Family that of the two separate Wen Families or as one?"
"Separately."
"Separately?" Luo Ye echoed, looking surprised at Ye Xuan, "You mean, the Wen Family split, and their strength increased instead?"
"Yes, Grandpa and Grandpa are both talented individuals, so under the leadership of both elders, the Wen Family’s strength didn’t decrease; it increased instead. By the time some people realized this, it was too late, and they had to accept this outcome."
Luo Ye sighed softly: "Ah, every family has a difficult story to tell, Grandma and her family don’t seem to have a good relationship either. In that sense, Grandpa and Grandma really have it tough,"
Ye Xuan looked at her seriously: "Ye’er, now do you agree with me leaving the army?"
"Can I think it over, okay?" Luo Ye looked at him hesitantly, "I like you in military uniform, I like your integrity, I like your decisiveness, but if you go local, some aspects will have to change. I really can’t imagine, with your looks, how much worry I’ll have when you’re out there?"
"You don’t trust me?" Ye Xuan’s eyes darkened, "Even now, Ye’er, you still don’t trust me?"
Luo Ye smiled bitterly: "It’s not that I don’t trust you, I’m worried you might fall into a trap. Some things can’t be avoided just because you don’t want to be involved. In this world, there are plenty of men without principles, as well as women without principles."
Ye Xuan snorted coldly: "With my skills, anyone with ill intentions against me would only end up regretting it."
"Ye Xuan, think it over, go home and consult with the elders, meanwhile, I’ll also take some time to think and discuss it with Grandpa." Luo Ye scratched her head, "This news is too sudden; my mind is a bit chaotic, give me some time, can you?"
"Alright, there’s no rush. I need to finish the handover on the island before considering this..." Ye Xuan said, suddenly stopping, and Luo Ye, puzzled, followed his gaze to see two blonde women gracefully approaching.
The one on the left is around 175 cm tall, with a sexy figure, long golden curly hair, and delicate features. In terms of looks, among all the women Luo Ye has seen, she could rank first.
The one on the right is slightly shorter and thinner, with long chestnut-brown hair straight down her shoulders. Though not as sexy and charming as the one on the left, she’s still beautiful and gives a pure and delicate impression.
