Chapter 1546: Chapter 901: Conflict

"Little Ye Ye..." Wen Ke widened his eyes and looked Luo Ye up and down, "Sis, I’ve realized now, you’re the fiercest one."

Luo Ye chuckled and pinched her cheek, "Is it just because I didn’t get all shy when I talked about getting married?"

"Yeah..." Wen Ke had an expression of sheer obviousness, "That’s the reaction a girl should have, right? With your expression now, anyone would think you’re just talking about something as simple as going grocery shopping."

Luo Ye pursed her lips, "Pssh, how many times have we mentioned my marriage with Ye Xuan? What’s there to be shy about? Oh, let me add, I was the one who proposed this time." She finished and smiled at everyone, "I’m going to change my clothes."

"Did I... did I hear that right?" Wen Ke rubbed his ears vigorously, then looked at the elders, "Great Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandma, Aunt, Ye’er said she was the one who proposed, right?"

"This child..." Old Mrs. Wen shook her head with a smile, looking at Mr. Wen, "This child is nothing like her mother."

"Better than her mother, doesn’t dawdle with things..." Mr. Wen laughed heartily, leaning forward to pat the stunned Ye Xuan, "Xiao Xuan, how do you feel?"

"I have great judgment; found a treasure early on."

"They’re truly a pair; I’m amazed." Wen Ke covered her forehead and went upstairs, "I have to go ask Ye’er what her current mood is."

Not long after, Wen Song, Wen Bai, Wen Tong, Li Niangying, Hua Rong, Wen Su, and Little Pumpkin all came downstairs. Upon hearing the news, they were overjoyed...

Seeing everyone gathered, Grand Old Master Ye spoke cheerfully, "Little Wen (Mr. Wen), you notify Ye’er’s grandpa and parents, and I’ll notify the Ye Family’s side. Let’s quickly decide on an auspicious date; this time, no mishaps can happen."

"Yes, yes, yes." Mr. Wen nodded repeatedly, "This time, there must be no more mishaps; otherwise, there might already be little babies by now."

Old Mrs. Wen was so angry she slapped Mr. Wen, "How old is Ye’er?"

"Right, that’s true. I’m just happy; sometimes when I speak, I don’t think much." Mr. Wen said as he got up to the study to share the good news.

Grand Old Master Ye returned to his own courtyard. With so many things to prepare for the marriage, he had to go back to his courtyard to plan carefully and arrange everything in detail.

...

In Old Master Wen’s room, Wen Xue was anxious, "Grandpa, you just held me back, not letting me go in. Now they’re going to get married, what should I do?"

"Then let them marry; Ye Xuan isn’t the only man in the world." Old Master Wen, having previously shown Wen Xue kindness in public, now looked at her coldly, "Are you truly in love with him?"

"With a man like that, what woman wouldn’t be?" Wen Xue instinctively shrank her neck, "Grandpa, don’t worry, even if I do love him, I’ll never forget the responsibility on my shoulders."

"You..." Old Master Wen frowned, "Didn’t Grandpa tell you at home that you needed to find a way to make him love you and not get yourself trapped in it!

Look at the current situation; he doesn’t even like looking at you, yet you fell for him. Ugh! You useless thing, you’re going to drive me crazy!"

"Grandpa, I didn’t expect it to turn out this way..." A layer of mist veiled Wen Xue’s eyes, "But now, he’s going to marry, what should I do?"

"Didn’t I say? Let him marry; once the novelty wears off, your opportunity will come. Xue’er, you need to be patient, understand?"

Wen Xue looked puzzled, "Grandpa, are you... you want me to ruin their marriage, be the third party? But wouldn’t the Ye Family accept me and let him marry me?"

"That’s not important. As long as we become the unique Wen Family, even if he doesn’t marry you, someone will be eager to do so." Old Master Wen patted Wen Xue’s head, "Xue’er, Grandpa adores you the most."

Wen Xue changed from her previously pitiful demeanor, "Grandpa, I know where I went wrong. Rest assured, I’ll change my approach; regardless of whether they marry or not, Ye Xuan must be mine."

The door was suddenly pushed open, Wen Xue stood cold-faced at the entrance, "You... do you really think it’s appropriate to do this?"

"You were eavesdropping?" Old Master Wen quickly moved to close the door, glaring fiercely at Wen Yu, "You’re my granddaughter!"

"Yes, I’m your granddaughter; that’s why I feel I should do my utmost to prevent the Wen Family from heading to ruin.

Grandpa, do you truly believe you can replace Second Grandpa? Do you really think that if Xiao Xue ruins Luo Ye and Ye Xuan’s relationship, the Ye Family will lend a hand to you?

Or, I could be more direct: do you truly think the Ye Family lacks moral boundaries like you?"

Wen Yu chuckled lightly, "Alright, even if all your schemes succeed and the Beijing Wen Family replaces the Sha City Wen Family, will you truly be happy?

Okay, even if you’re happy, Grandpa, don’t forget, everyone eventually passes on, and when you meet the ancestors of the Wen Family, do you think they’ll forgive you?"

Mr. Wen’s face briefly showed fear; then he slapped Wen Yu’s face, "From today on, you’re no longer my granddaughter, get out!"

"Alright, you said it yourself, I’m no longer your granddaughter." Wen Yu smiled indifferently, "Actually, since childhood, have you ever really considered me your granddaughter?"

Ha... To be honest, I used to hate my parents, believing they were too cruel to abandon me alone, thinking they were unfilial for not staying by your side.

So, I constantly tried to win your favor, partly to make up for them in some way, and partly to gain a bit more warmth of family affection.

Unfortunately, no matter what I did, you never liked me. No matter what I did, you turned a blind eye. Because of this, I have been heartbroken and disappointed.

Now, at this moment when you tell me to leave, I suddenly understand that there must have been no choice for my parents to leave me behind, and I also believe their departure was entirely caused by you..."

"Nonsense!" Old Master Wen angrily interrupted Wen Yu and slapped her again, "Get out, now!"

"I will leave, but can you answer one question for me..." Wen Yu stared directly at Old Master Wen, "My parents, they didn’t leave the Wen Family. They were killed by you, weren’t they?"

"You... you..." Old Master Wen’s facial muscles twisted instantly, his lips trembling unable to utter a complete sentence, then he reached out intending to slap Wen Yu again, but Wen Yu stepped back, grabbing his well-maintained fat hand, "I’ve already let you hit me twice, a person should know when to advance and retreat!"

"This is rebellion, truly outrageous..." Old Master Wen looked at Wen Xue, who was standing there dumbfounded, "Why don’t you quickly come and help Grandpa!"

"Ah? Oh." Wen Xue looked around, picked up the fruit knife on the coffee table, and pushed towards Wen Yu, "Let go of Grandpa, or... or I’ll do it."

"Go ahead." Wen Yu looked at her coldly, "You’re a pathetic creature too, manipulated by him since childhood. Don’t think I don’t know about your sordid affairs between you two!"

"You’re speaking nonsense!" Wen Xue’s eyes reddened, "Don’t anger me, I really will do it!"

"Alright, do it. If you really think you can kill and silence someone in this room, then go ahead. At that point, everything will have a closure, it would be quite relieving. Come on, stab me in the chest, or in the neck, it doesn’t matter, I promise I won’t dodge..."

"If you really think it through that way, why are you still holding on to my hand and not letting go?" Old Master Wen struggled to calm himself down, "Xiao Yu, we are family. Stop this, let go of Grandpa. Xiao Xue, you also put the knife down, don’t really hurt your sister by mistake."

"How come I’ve suddenly become her sister again?" Wen Yu showed a sarcastic smile in her eyes, "Are you truly thinking I will believe you?"

"Xiao Yu, Grandpa being strict with you is for your own good. Being lenient with Xiao Xue is because this child Xiao Xue is not as smart as you. No matter how you push her, she will only reach such a level.

Grandpa has always been cultivating you as the family’s male heir, frustrated at your lack of progress, that’s why he has been stricter with you. Yu, you not only don’t understand Grandpa’s intentions but say such ugly words, who wouldn’t be angry hearing that?

Saying angry words doesn’t count, Yu, Grandpa promises not to be so strict with you in the future. We are family, let’s be nice, why let others laugh at us, okay?"

Wen Xue quickly chimed in, "Sister, if Grandpa wasn’t strict with you, how would you have achieved what you have today? Look at me, how can I compare to you?"

"Forming a united front?" Wen Yu released Old Master Wen’s arm, "Grandpa, this is the last time I’ll address you as such, don’t think everyone is a fool and only you are smart." After speaking, she opened the door and walked out without looking back.

"Grandpa..." Wen Xue looked worriedly at Old Master Wen, "Why did you suddenly change your attitude just now? Could it be that she has some evidence that’s harmful to us?"

"Xue, you did very well." Old Master Wen patted her shoulder, "Don’t ask, just go out, proceed as we discussed earlier."

"Grandpa..."

Old Master Wen waved his hand, "Go out."

After Wen Xue’s figure disappeared, Old Master Wen slumped onto the sofa, his gaze vacantly staring at the glass cup on the table for a while, before his eyes lit up again.

...

Wen Yu came out of Old Master Wen’s room, hesitated briefly, and went to Luo Ye’s room. It was Wen Ke who opened the door.

"Is Ye’er in?"

"She’s on the phone with Aunt right now, come in." Wen Ke smiled at her, "Ye’er is getting married, you know, right?"

"I know." Wen Yu nodded, without saying more.

Luo Ye’s room consisted of two adjoining spaces, Wen Ke swiftly closed the door of the inner room and returned to sit on the sofa, speaking softly, "Ye’er’s call won’t end anytime soon, Aunt is crying, she’s reluctant to see Ye’er get married."
