Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 917: Chapter 552: Everything Comes Down to One Thing

”Our little hero is back, come on, come let Grandma see if you’ve lost weight.” As soon as Luo Ye and Ye Xuan entered the door, Old Mrs. Wen eagerly came up to greet them.

Luo Ye warmly hugged the old lady: ”Grandma, it’s just been two days, how could I have lost weight?”

”Your grandma has been worried these past two days, that Ye’er left in such a hurry, if you don’t rest well, you’d definitely lose weight. She had Nanny Zhang busy making you a nourishing soup since last night.” Mr. Wen walked out from the study.

Luo Ye’s small face scrunched up: ”Grandma, you’re not making that beef, crucian carp, and pig trotters stew again without salt, are you?”

The old lady laughed ”haha” and took a jackfruit from the coffee table: ”Ye’er is really smart, grandma rewards you with some fruit.”

”Grandma, can I stop drinking this nourishing soup in the future? I’m so healthy that any more tonic would be too much.” Luo Ye shook the old lady’s arm, acting coquettishly.

”That’s not possible, your aunt’s colleague’s child...”

Luo Ye quickly took over: ”Was not well since birth, took many medicines to no avail, but after drinking this soup, the little face became more and more lovely...”

”You little girl, you know everything but still haggling with grandma?” The old lady poked Luo Ye’s forehead, looking helpless.

”Grandma, you mention this every time you make the nourishing soup, how could I forget.” Luo Ye swung her small wrist back and forth, ”See, am I like that child who wasn’t well from birth?”

The old lady held Luo Ye’s wrist, examining it while muttering: ”Too thin, really too thin, Xiao Xuan, what do you think?”

Ye Xuan, who was playing chess with Mr. Wen, quickly smiled: ”Grandma, you are right, Ye’er should gain a bit more weight.”

”If my mom hears that, she’ll smack you!” Luo Ye regretted as soon as she said it, sneaking a peek at the old couple, and indeed, their expressions were a bit stunned.

”Grandpa, Grandma, guess who came to see me last night?” Luo Ye quickly changed the subject.

Mr. Wen thought for a moment: ”Could it be Xiao Xuan’s mom?”

”No!” Luo Ye shook her head.

Old Mrs. Wen gave her a gentle slap: ”That’s hard to guess, don’t keep us in suspense, just tell us.”

”Grandma, you’re getting more violent, it seems the nourishing soup is effective.” Seeing the old lady about to slap again, Luo Ye quickly said, ”Alright, I’ll tell you, it was Grandpa and eldest cousin from the Beijing Wen Family.”

After a brief silence, Mr. Wen sighed: ”Eventually, it happened.”

”Grandpa, I’ve already explained the family feud to Ye’er.” Ye Xuan quickly confessed.

Mr. Wen nodded: ”Then I won’t dwell on the past stories, Ye’er, they asked you to join the Security Department, didn’t they?”

”Yes, nothing escapes Grandpa’s eyes.” Luo Ye couldn’t help but pout, ”Grandpa’s attitude was fine, but eldest cousin, not so much, it was as if it was a huge favor for me to be found by him.”

”Ye’er refused them?”

Luo Ye nodded matter-of-factly: ”Of course, I refused. I can easily guess their intentions and can’t be bothered with their tricks.”

Mr. Wen gave his granddaughter a glare: ”Ye’er, no matter what, they are still your elders.”

Luo Ye retorted: ”Grandpa, I know they are my elders, but their intentions in seeking me disqualify them as elders.”

”You stubborn girl.” Mr. Wen shook his head helplessly, ”I’m saying this for your own good, I know Grandpa’s temperament all too well, he holds grudges, if you refused him to his face, he’ll never let you have peace as long as he gets a chance.”

Ye Xuan quickly chimed in: ”Grandpa, I’m here too, don’t worry.”

Mr. Wen gave Ye Xuan a pointed look: ”This girl has been spoiled by you.”

”Xiao Xuan just cares for Ye’er, what’s wrong with that? Besides, a sensible child like Ye’er is rare, I think it’s me who spoiled you.” Old Mrs. Wen retorted.

”Alright, alright, you spoiled me.” Mr. Wen chuckled and looked at Luo Ye, ”Your grandma now is the boss of the Wen Family, and she’s got quite the temper.”

Old Mrs. Wen gave Mr. Bai a dirty look: ”The older you get, the more unruly you become, aren’t you afraid Xiao Xuan will laugh at you.”

”Grandpa is genuine, why would I laugh?” Ye Xuan’s expression turned serious, ”Grandpa, Grandma, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you, I’m considering transferring to a local position, do you have any suggestions?”

”You’re going local?” Mr. Wen considered briefly and understood, ”Xiao Xuan, you’re doing this to make way for Ye’er’s future development, right?”
