CHAPTER 308: CHAPTER 175: WEN FAMILY REUNION (PART 2)

"Yes, General Manager!" Liu Mian obediently took a seat in front.

Luo Ye couldn’t help but curl her lips into a smile.

...

"Hello Grandpa, Grandma, eldest uncle, Eldest Aunt, second uncle..." After Luo Ye finished greeting everyone, she felt dizzy and hesitated before looking at Old Master Wen: "Gra... Grandpa, why have you made such a big fuss... what for?" This crowd of family members reminded her of the time when her entire family had come back.

Old Master Wen chuckled, "Ye’er is the Wen Family’s first female soldier; naturally, we must have a grand welcome ceremony."

"Yes, Ye’er has such ambition, of course, we must welcome her grandly!" Wen Song laughed as well.

"Exactly, exactly!" Wen Bai chimed in quickly.

Old Mrs. Wen waved her hand: "Alright, alright, everyone relax. Ye’er, come over to Grandma, let me take a good look at you."

Luo Ye swept a surprised glance at Grandpa and saw Old Master Wen getting up with a smile: "We’ll eat in half an hour. Wen Song, Wen Bai, Wen Tong, come to the study with me. Let them be noisy!"

Luo Ye was even more shocked internally, but she didn’t show it on her face, smiling as she came to Grandma and warmly embraced her: "I’ve missed you, Grandma. You seem to have lost a little weight."

The old lady gently slapped her granddaughter’s hand: "Naughty girl, flattery won’t help. If you missed Grandma, why didn’t you come to see me? If it wasn’t for this trick, I might not have seen you for another three months!"

Luo Ye noticed Little Pumpkin making faces behind Wen Ke and sneered at him, but turned to the old lady with a pitiful expression: "Grandma, I originally wanted to ask for leave to see you on the day I reported to the school, but Little Pumpkin said that Grandpa asked me to be a good soldier and not to seek special treatment, so I didn’t come."

"Little Pumpkin, why didn’t you tell us when you went to see Ye’er? Why didn’t you call us to go together?" Wen Yan, Wen Su, and Wen Ke all questioned Wen Nan at the same time.

Wen Nan’s little face immediately fell, glaring at Luo Ye: "Sister Ye’er, you betrayed me!"

"Little Pumpkin, you’ve learned to be selfish. Even daring to keep secrets from me," Wen Ke grabbed his brother’s ear: "Tell us, why didn’t you tell us when you saw Ye’er?"

"That day it really was too late to call you, and afterward, how could I dare to tell you with your temper? You’d have eaten me alive!" Wen Nan looked aggrieved.

Li Niangying quickly hugged Wen Nan to make peace: "Okay, spare him. He was just worried about Ye’er."

"Ye’er, how come you’ve lost so much weight in just two days?" Old Mrs. Wen pinched her granddaughter, showing a heartbroken face: "Such a delicate girl becoming a soldier, you’ll get tanned and unsightly, won’t you?"

Luo Ye smiled bitterly and explained: "Grandma, I haven’t lost weight; I’ve always been like this."

"You’ve lost weight; you’ve certainly lost weight!" Little Pumpkin chimed in loudly.

"Brother Yan, Brother Su, Sister Ke, Little Pumpkin thinks he is too fat!"

"Got it!" The three of them picked up Little Pumpkin and dragged him out.

"Have mercy! Grandma, Aunt... Save me, they’re going to give me a beating, I’m no match for them, save me!" Little Pumpkin screamed hoarsely.

Li Niangying laughed: "This house becomes lively as soon as Ye’er arrives."

"Yes, it would be wonderful if Ye’er got into S University; she could come back home every day." Grandma held her granddaughter and sighed softly, having lost contact with her daughter for so many years, the old lady felt a sense of compensatory love for her grandchildren.

"Grandma, I can come home once a month after military training, and the university makes exceptions on some holidays, so on average, I’ll still come home quite often."

"This girl always has an answer for everything." Old Mrs. Wen playfully tapped her granddaughter’s forehead: "I really don’t understand, such a delicate young girl, why do you like being a soldier so much?"

"I know why Sister Ye’er likes being a soldier!" Little Pumpkin, who had just sneaked in, darted out before anyone could react.

"These little rascals." Wen Yan and Wen Su shook their heads in unison.

In the evening, they enjoyed a happy reunion dinner. After the meal, Grandpa summoned Luo Ye to the study: "Ye’er, Grandpa fully supports your choice. Remember, this is your home; remember to come back when you need rest, and remember to ask your family for help if you have any trouble."

"Grandpa, I know." Luo Ye smiled in response.

"Do you feel that Grandpa isn’t as domineering as when you first met him?" Grandpa instantly caught the hesitation in Luo Ye’s eyes.

"There is that feeling." Luo Ye smiled bashfully, realizing Grandpa was indeed much more intimidating than Grandpa.

"After the last incident, Grandpa has let go of certain things. Too many rules can alienate the family members, it’s not necessarily a bad thing to relax a bit."

"Thank you, Grandpa!" Luo Ye became serious, touched that the old master would explain this to her.

"Silly girl, Grandpa is just an ordinary person. After you all left over the New Year, your grandma was always downcast. I... am getting old and finally understand life. Of course, necessary rules should still be observed. Grandpa asked you to come here because there’s another matter to tell you.

You already know that the girl from the Yu Family got into the same university as you, and besides her, Feng Hua from the Feng Family, and Hang Qi from the Hang Family are also at this university. However, the girls from the Feng and Hang families are a grade above you. Ye’er is a smart child; you should understand the intention behind Grandpa telling you all this."

Luo Ye nodded: "I understand Grandpa’s intentions. But I am curious about one thing, why are all the students who got into this university girls?"

"The men in these families aren’t very prosperous, so the responsibility naturally falls on the girls. But the brightest girl from the Yu Family going to this university might have a different significance compared to the girls from the Feng and Hang families, hehe..."

"I understand." Luo Ye laughed too.
