Chapter 933: Chapter 556-557: Trouble Occurs (Part 3)
Your uncle-grandfather frantically sent her to the hospital, but in the end, she couldn’t be saved. Before she passed away, she asked your uncle-grandfather to take care of Wang Meifeng. Your uncle-grandfather already felt guilty for not protecting her well, and since Wang Meifeng bore a slight resemblance to Wang Meiyun, he married Wang Meifeng a year later.
However, after the marriage, the Bai family discovered that although the sisters were born of the same mother and looked alike, their personalities were worlds apart. Wang Meifeng’s personality was akin to that of a domineering wife from a wealthy landlord family.
But since she was already married into the family, they couldn’t just send her back. The whole family had to endure her as much as possible, and whenever Wang Meifeng had conflicts with your uncle-grandfather, she would accuse him of still thinking about Wang Meiyun.
Your uncle-grandfather tried to avoid conflicts by going along with her in almost everything, and as a result, life for the Bai family was obviously strained.
"Grandma, weren’t wives supposed to listen to their mothers-in-law back then? How could Wang Meifeng act so arrogantly?"
Wen Yan echoed, "Yes, Grandma, Ye’er is asking about what I don’t understand either."
"There are always exceptions. Your Great Grandmother and Great Grandpa were well-educated and courteous businesspeople, and they had no way to deal with her kind of temperament," Old Mrs. Wen shook her head. "In our family, only my temperament was a bit fierce, and in the end, I was driven out by her."
Ping sighed, "The young master likes to keep everything bottled up inside. We’ve been with him for so many years and didn’t know he did so much for Miss."
"Marrying a virtuous wife is crucial," Luo Ye said, poking Wen Yan, "Brother, did you hear that? You need to find a virtuous sister-in-law for me in the future. Don’t bring a tigress home."
Wen Yan helplessly rubbed his sister’s head, "You troublemaker, how did this become about me?"
"Hehe, I was just reminding you, nothing more," Luo Ye warmly clasped the hands of Grandma and Ah Hua and Ping together, "Grandma, today is a happy day when we all get together. Don’t think about the past. In the future, with Grandma Hua and Grandpa Ping by your side, you’ll surely have a wonderful time."
Old Mrs. Wen relaxed, "You and that mouth of yours, always flattering people."
Luo Ye pouted discontentedly, "Grandma, you’re wronging me. I’m the best at telling the truth."
"Yes, yes, our Ye’er is the most honest."
"Pfft!" Wen Yan burst out laughing.
"Brother, what do you mean?" Raindrop-like punches landed on Wen Yan’s back, "Ye’er, I’m wrong, don’t hit anymore. Ye’er, I’ll buy you whatever you want. Just stop, okay?"
Driver Wen Bao, thinking about Wen Yan’s stern demeanor at work, silently smiled.
When the group returned home, it was just noon. As the car stopped, Mr. Wen and Ye Xuan came out to greet them. "Grandpa, look who’s here!" Luo Ye asked Mr. Wen with a big smile, taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking to glare fiercely at Ye Xuan.
The handsome Ye rubbed his nose inexplicably, wondering where he had offended the young lady.
Ah Hua got off the car first, "Son-in-law, Ping and I are here. I hope you don’t mind?"
Mr. Wen quickly stepped forward to grasp their hands, "Just from these words, you’re treating me as an outsider. I’m so happy to have you accompany Yanrui, how could I mind?"
Ping wiped the corner of his eye, "Son-in-law, on behalf of the master and madam, thank you. It’s clear you’ve treated the young lady extremely well over the years. The master and madam can rest easy in the afterlife."
Mr. Wen laughed warmly, "Ping, Ah Hua, from now on consider this your home. Let’s grow old together here. Come, let’s go inside; lunch is ready, and I’ll notify the children to come back for lunch so we can welcome you!"
Ping quickly said, "Son-in-law, the children are all busy, and bringing them back and forth would be tiring for Ah Hua and me. If it’s convenient, could we meet them tonight?"
"Ping, you’re being too formal. The children need to have lunch too; what’s so tiring about it?" Mr. Wen Cai said as he first pointed to Ye Xuan, "Let me introduce this one to you, Ye’er’s fiancé, Ye Xuan."
Ah Hua quickly said, "Hello, Mr. Xuan. We heard about you today. Miss Ye’er is so fortunate to have such a caring fiancé, it makes Ah Hua happy."
Ye Xuan, slightly taken aback, quickly regained his composure and greeted with a smile, "Hello, Grandma Hua, I’m very pleased to meet you as well. Hello, Grandpa Ping, I’m Ye Xuan."
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Ping and Ah Hua’s eyes crinkled with delight, murmuring to themselves about how handsome he was and how great it was he’s Ye’er’s fiancé.
"Come with me," Luo Ye said, dragging Ye Xuan upstairs.
