Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 927: Chapter 555: Unexpected, Even More Unexpected

"Yanrui is back?" Bai Yanji, a seventy-year-old, thin figure, excitedly stood up from behind the desk and stared at Ah Hua, repeating again, "Yanrui is really back?"

Ah Hua nodded happily: "Young Master, Miss is indeed back, and she brought along her grandson and granddaughter, they are in the hall now."

Ah Hua and Aji grew up as servants in the Bai family, therefore, even though Bai Yanji is an old man now, they still call him "Young Master."

Thinking of the past, Bai Yanji’s expression slowly calmed down, and he sat again: "Did Miss tell you why she’s back?"

"No...no..." Ah Hua lowered her head and muttered, "Seeing Miss come back made me so happy, I just thought Young Master must miss her too, so I hurried over to inform you."

Bai Yanji waved his hand: "Alright, you can go out."

"Young Master, what about you?" Ah Hua looked at him incredulously, "Miss hasn’t been back for over ten years, are you really not going to see her?"

"I didn’t say I won’t see her." Bai Yanji sighed lightly: "Tell Yanrui that I’m looking at an urgent document, ask her to wait for a while."

"Yes." Knowing the Young Master’s temper well, Ah Hua said no more and responded before leaving.

At the moment the door closed, Bai Yanji quickly got up and ran to the door, opened a small gap, and peeked outside, but unfortunately, even though he stretched his neck, he could only see Ping sitting diagonally across the study, Bai Yanji frowned—Ping was definitely doing this on purpose.

From a young age, Ping liked his sister Yanrui. If he hadn’t promised their father to stay in the Bai family, probably he would have followed his sister to the Wen family back then.

So many years have passed, it would be a lie to say he didn’t miss his sister, but what could he do? Since primary school, brother-in-law Wen Shuzhi has always been his competitor, and he strongly opposed his sister marrying Wen Shuzhi back in the day, unfortunately, his sister didn’t listen at all.

When their parents passed away, his sister was also going through tough times, although he meant well, ultimately, it was not fully executed.

Now that his sister has come to visit, he feels excited and thrilled, yet, mostly at a loss, not knowing how to face her.

Ping must know he wants to see his sister, but to save face he purposely put on airs, occupying that spot to keep him from getting his way.

"Knock knock knock..."

The sound of knocking on the door rang again, Wen Yanji hesitated: "Who is it?"

"Brother, it’s me, Yanrui." Old Mrs. Wen sighed, "So many years have passed, hasn’t brother’s anger dissipated yet?"

When Ah Hua told her Bai Yanji was dealing with urgent matters, she knew what was going on, alas, at such an age, her brother was still stubborn like a mule, does he really want to take regrets to the grave?

"Didn’t you say you’d never set foot in the Bai family again in this lifetime?" Though it was a cold and indifferent inquiry, the tremor in his voice betrayed his true feelings.

Old Mrs. Wen couldn’t help but laugh lightly: "Brother’s character hasn’t changed a bit, clearly you’ve been thinking about me, but you insist on acting like I’m your enemy, is it amusing?"

"Who’s been thinking about you." Bai Yanji’s voice softened significantly.

"Then why don’t you dare see me? Are you worried I’m here to divide the inheritance? Seventeen years ago I could give it up, now there’s no way I’d get involved, don’t worry." Old Mrs. Wen deliberately provoked him.

Bai Yanji suddenly stood up and walked to the door, excitedly opened it, his face muscles trembling: "Back then, it was you who said harsh words about not wanting the inheritance, I can’t exactly chase after you to give it, can I?"

"Brother, I’m here today truly wanting to reconcile with you, I don’t want there to be a day when I wish to do this but... am powerless." Old Mrs. Wen’s voice choked with emotion as she spoke.

"Yanrui... I’m sorry." Bai Yanji’s dignity also faltered.

"Brother, it’s all in the past, let’s not bring it up." Old Mrs. Wen wiped her tears, "The kids are waiting in the hall, let’s go meet them together."

"Everyone should meet." Wen Yanji sighed softly, "However, you should come into the study with me first, I have something to say to you."

"What is it?" After entering the door, Old Mrs. Wen asked in confusion.

Bai Yanji pointed to the sofa: "You sit down first, this can’t be explained in a few words."

...

Ah Hua presented a platter of pastries in front of Luo Ye and Wen Yan: "Miss Ye’er, Young Master Yan, try the osmanthus cake I made, it’s my specialty, and Miss loves it."

"Thank you, Grandma Hua." The two thanked her, and each picked up a piece of osmanthus cake to taste.
