CHAPTER 471: CHAPTER 282: ACCEPTANCE (PART 2)

Luo Ye looked at the old man speechlessly: "Grandpa, you should’ve asked, if both of us fell into the river together, whom would you save first."

The old man laughed heartily: "Grandpa can swim, and Ye can swim too."

Luo Ye: "..."

Ye Xuan, carrying a small package, followed behind the grandfather and grandson, his eyes brimming with joy. The Old Master Wen depicted by his grandpa and the one he met were quite different. It seems that grandpa can be wrong at times!

After the trio settled down in the study, Luo Ye detailed the entire incident, and Old Master Wen added more details. After considering for a moment, Ye Xuan looked at Old Master Wen: "Grandpa, I’ll have Nian Pingguo, the person in charge of the Ye Family’s intelligence in Sha City, contact little uncle, share the information he found, then proceed with a synchronized investigation. Do you think that’s okay?"

"Sure, I’ll notify him, and you guys can discuss the specifics." Saying this, Old Master Wen dialed Wen Tong’s number, briefed him after the call, and handed the phone over to Ye Xuan. He caught a glimpse of Luo Ye studying a green porcelain bottle and his eyes flickered slightly: "Ye’er, let me take a look."

Luo Ye handed the bottle to Grandpa: "This is the gift that Ye Xuan brought for you, I was curious, so I opened it. It seems to be liquor, and there’s another bottle inside."

Old Master Wen examined it for a while: "This liquor is not ordinary; it’s only taken out of the cellar after being stored for over a hundred years. Even Old Master Ye wouldn’t sell it for 3 million a bottle. Back then... never mind, let’s not talk about it."

Luo Ye quickly understood, it must be that Grandpa was served this liquor by Old Master Ye during the engagement between her mother and Ye Jia’an, and she didn’t want Grandpa to recall unhappy memories. So she teased on purpose: "I’m a bit curious about the taste of a liquor that’s been cellar-stored for over 100 years. Grandpa, can I try just a little bit?"

"Girls are not allowed to drink." The old man refused without even thinking, then placed both bottles of liquor in the bookcase behind him.

"Grandpa is really stingy." Luo Ye pouted discontentedly: "I didn’t say I would drink it all, just wanted to taste a sip."

"Girl, go check on Grandma, Ye and I need to talk alone for a bit." Old Master Wen was hustling her off.

"You don’t even have to say it; I already know what you’re going to talk about. Elders like doing this kind of thing. I guess when I go to the Ye Family, Grandpa Ye will treat me the same way." Luo Ye muttered as she stood up.

Old Master Wen sized up his granddaughter with a half-smiling gaze: "Little thing, are you reminding me to treat him well so that you won’t have to end up with the same treatment?"

"No! No!" Luo Ye waved her hands again and again.

"You think you can pull wool over Grandpa’s eyes with your crafty thoughts? You need a few more years of practice."

Having her motives pointed out, Ye, with the face flushed red, made her exit. In her heart, she knew even though Grandpa accepted Ye Xuan in front of her, he certainly wouldn’t make things difficult for him. But even though she understood that, she couldn’t help but worry.

Turning the corridor, she saw Grandma conversing on the sofa with Nanny Zhang. Luo Ye quickly greeted: "Grandma, did you have a good rest?"

"Yes." The old lady nodded towards the direction of the study: "Is your grandson-in-law in there?"

Nanny Zhang quickly explained: "Miss, it was me who informed the mistress."

"Grandma..." Luo Ye cuddled into the old lady’s embrace, squirming and acting coy.

"Silly girl, getting shy?" The old lady laughed: "When Grandma was your age, your big uncle was already a year and a half old."

Luo Ye straightened up: "Grandma, Mom said that you and Grandpa had a love marriage, which was quite rare for that era. Tell me about it."

"There is not much to talk about. Girls from the Bai family all went to school, your Grandpa just happened to visit a teacher when Grandma was turning in homework. After meeting and getting to know each other, we eventually came together. Since our families were not much different in status, naturally, there were no obstacles." The old lady stroked Luo Ye’s head: "Ye’er hasn’t met the Bai family’s Uncle Grandpa and little aunt yet. When the right opportunity comes, let’s introduce you."

"I’ve never heard you mention anything about Great Grandmother’s side; I didn’t dare to ask." Luo Ye said with a shy smile: "I didn’t dare to ask Mom either, I thought..."

"You thought Grandma’s mother’s family was gone?" Grandma sighed: "Ever since Great Grandmother and Great Grandfather passed, I visited my maiden home less and less."

"Is it because Grandma and Uncle Grandpa, and little aunt do not get along well?"

"Not exactly, it’s because your Grandpa was avoiding any appearance of impropriety. Aside from your big uncle, the rest of the Wen Family are businessmen, while two of your Bai family uncles and your little aunt are either in politics or the military. Your Grandpa didn’t want to give people the wrong impression."

"I see." Luo Ye hugged the old lady’s arm: "Grandma, I will definitely make you proud and won’t let anyone look down on us."

"Of course, my granddaughter is the best." Grandma smiled, her eyes gleaming: "Xiao Ke is too playful, I was always envious when your Uncle Grandpa and little aunt praised the girls in the family. From now on, I want them to envy me."

"Grandma, you talk about me behind my back!" Wen Ke came in smiling gleefully, followed by Wen Yan and Wen Su.

"Hello, big brother, second brother, Xiao Ke," Luo Ye greeted promptly.

Wen Ke complained: "Little Ye’er, why didn’t you call in advance before coming today? If we knew, we wouldn’t have gone out."

Luo Ye "hmphed": "Ungrateful, you guys really did go out on purpose!"

"Little Ye’er figured it out?" Wen Yan came forward and patted Luo Ye’s head: "We were worried that after military training, Little Ye’er might turn into a tanned monkey, but it seems big brother’s worry was unfounded."

"Xiao Yan, Little Su, Xiao Ke, have you guys returned? What would you like to drink? Let little aunt fetch it for you," Liang Huarui walked down the stairs gracefully.
