Chapter 232: Chapter 142: Grandpa Summons, Little Aunt Arrives
Wen Yan pulled Luo Ye over, "Uncle Liu, did Grandpa ask for me? I’ll be right there, could you please accompany Ye’er back?"
Uncle Liu quickly stopped the about-to-depart Wen Yan, "Young Master Yan, it is Miss Ye’er whom the Old Master is looking for."
A trace of confusion flickered in Wen Yan’s eyes, followed by a smile, "Ye’er, hurry over, don’t keep Grandpa waiting."
"Big brother, then I’ll be going first, Uncle Liu, I’m heading out." As soon as Luo Ye’s voice fell, her figure had already darted quite a distance away, Uncle Liu smiled in admiration: "The young lady sure is quick on her feet."
"Indeed, I would probably have to go all out to beat her, she is the first girl to enter Grandpa’s study. It seems Grandpa really approves of Ye’er. By the way, how did Uncle Liu know she was here?"
Uncle Liu waved his hand: "I wouldn’t dare take the credit, it was Old Master Wen who guessed. He said if Miss Ye’er was not in the living room, she must be by the small lake."
"Grandpa is really impressive, with him around, there’s always a feeling that you can’t hide anything. If he wanted to, the Wen Family surely wouldn’t just be what it is today." Speaking of Old Master Wen, Wen Yan wore a face full of admiration.
"The Old Master is a wise person; the Wen Family has too many enviable assets, the higher one stands, the greater the storms they face. After all, the times are different now." Uncle Liu heaved a sigh: "Today’s incident can be considered the Wen Family’s good fortune. If something really happened to Young Master Yan, the Old Master would have been devastated."
Wen Yan clenched his fist tightly: "We’ve been too peaceful for too long, plus, with Auntie’s return, we’ve all lost some vigilance. In the future, they won’t have such an opportunity again!"
...
When Luo Ye arrived at the study, Luo Zhenggang was quietly chatting with the Old Master.
Dad and Grandpa suddenly became so close? Luo Ye hid her surprise and greeted Grandpa, obediently sitting next to her father.
"Dad, I’m going to step out." Luo Zhenggang quietly held his daughter’s little paw, stood up, and said, "Ye’er, have a good chat with Grandpa."
Luo Ye nodded at her dad with a smile: "Dad, I know." She suddenly thought that compared to Grandpa, her father’s previous authority was nothing. It was only ever enough to scare her past timid self, her brother, and Mom. But look at Grandpa; without having to put on a stern face, just by sitting there, his presence is already felt.
The Old Master suddenly chuckled: "Little girl, your eyes rolling around, what are you thinking about?"
"I’m not thinking much, just comparing your authority with my dad’s. I suddenly understood the phrase ’you can paint a tiger’s skin, but not its bones.’ My dad is a tiger wearing a coat of tiger skin, but you are the real tiger, through and through." Luo Ye answered very seriously.
"Hehe..." Hearing her remark, the Old Master couldn’t help but laugh, and Luo Ye’s heart relaxed a bit. Maybe Grandpa wasn’t as severe as she had imagined - look how amiable he was laughing now.
"Ye’er..." The Old Master’s expression suddenly became serious: "Wen Tong met you when you were younger, and seeing you and Feng’er again this time, he was very surprised. I spoke to your father about you just now, and it turns out you are even more astonishing than what Wen Tong witnessed. Indeed, you have impressed your Grandpa. If it weren’t for Ye’er today, the Wen Family might have been thrown into complete disarray. Your big cousin is one of the best among the younger generation and also the greatest hope for the Wen Family. If something happened to him, your uncle would be devastated, and naturally, Grandpa would be affected too."
"Grandpa, if you called me over just to thank me, it’s meaningless. My mom once wronged the Wen Family, and as her daughter, it’s only right that I make amends."
"Are you upset?" Old Master Wen looked at his granddaughter, sitting up straight with a calm face, and chuckled.
"Grandpa, I just feel that there’s no need for pleasantries among family. Not just for big brother, even if it were a stranger, if I had seen them, I would’ve tackled them too. It’s a kind of instinctive reaction."
"Grandpa believes what Ye’er says. It’s normal for instincts to outrun the brain in these situations, but Ye’er’s perception and vision has really surprised Grandpa. By the way, I heard you want to go to a military school?" web(n)ovel\.c om
"Yes!" Luo Ye nodded earnestly.
"Your father is obviously somewhat worried, but Grandpa thinks he’s overthinking it." Old Master Wen suddenly changed the subject, "Ye’er, Grandpa called you over not just to thank you but to let you know that saving Young Master Yan is something I’ll remember in my heart. And I want to ask you something else, do you like Ye Xuan?"
"Why... why would you ask that?" Luo Ye coughed, choked by her own saliva.
"Alright, I understand." Old Master Wen waved his hand, "Ye’er, go have some water to calm down."
