Chapter 139 Harmony

  "Get up, you two little ones." As soon as Old Master Wen's voice fell, two women in their thirties immediately came over to help Lo Ye and Lo Feng get up.

  "Come here, Maple Leaf, come to Grandma's side." The old lady was still very excited, but her tears were no longer as torrential as they had been at first.

  Luo Ye carefully approached the old lady, her eyes brimming with tears as she called out "Nai Nai", and then glanced at Old Master Wen with a mixture of caution and curiosity. Seeing that he didn't have any particular expression on his face, Grandfather Luo swallowed back what he was about to say.

  The old lady muttered "good good", seemingly unable to say anything else.

  Old Master Wen swept a few people with his eyes, looking at Luo Zhenggang and Wen Xin who were kneeling in front of him: "I let the children get up, it doesn't mean I forgive you, you can cut off all ties with the Wen family for twenty years and three months, what does it mean to come to my door now?"

  The warm emotions have subsided a lot, taking a deep breath and looking at Old Man Wen seriously: "Dad, it's our fault, I don't want to argue for myself, but daughter thinks that what has been done wrong can no longer be turned back.

  So now I can only cherish the loved ones around me, live a good life, and ask Dad to forgive his unfilial daughter, let his daughter go home.

  Old Master Wen looked at Wen Xin with an expressionless face: "You actually have the nerve to say forgive? You threw down a mess and left, and just said a casual 'I was wrong'?"

  "Dad, it's all my fault. I didn't live up to being a man, which is why Wenshen hasn't dared to come home for so many years. Dad, we really know what was wrong now, and fortunately, we realized it in time. Please give us the chance to make up for it."

  Old Master Wen turned to Luo Zhenggang: "Compensation? How can you compensate? Your own position is precarious, clinging to such an unreliable person, and you still have the face to speak here?"

  "Dad, if you're willing to listen, I'll take some time to explain it to you in detail. What I mean by making up for it is to let the kids and Wenxin come back to our home more often, after all, they are family..."

  Lao Laoye frowned and interrupted Luo Zhengang: "What, you mean that you and our Wen family are not relatives?"

  "No, Dad, you know I didn't mean it that way. Comparatively speaking, I reckon the person you and Mom least want to see is me, I have a number"

  "You have some self-awareness." Old Master Wen turned to Luo Ye and Luo Feng: "You two come over here."

  The old lady let go of her grandson and granddaughter's hands, gently patting them and softly comforting: "It's okay, don't be afraid, he's just putting on a fierce face to scare people."

  "Am I that terrifying in your eyes?" Old Master Wen glared at Luo Feng discontentedly. This dead kid actually pulled his own niece behind him, as if he could eat his own flesh and blood?

  Luofeng nodded: "Grandfather, you are indeed quite formidable."

  Old Master Luo looked at his grandson with a mixture of anger and amusement: "Where shall we begin?"

  "I've felt it since we got off the plane, everything in front of me is proof of this problem. I admit that I'm very afraid of you, but I promised Ye to be a brave man and protect her, so I naturally can't back down now."

  Old Master Wen looked at Luo Ye, and coincidentally, Luo Ye's eyes also swept over. In the instant their gazes met, a hint of a smile flashed across Old Master Wen's eyes. He had figured it out - this little girl wasn't nervous at all; that delicate appearance was probably just an act. This little girl actually had some spirit to her.

  "Girl, playing tricks on Grandpa won't bring you any benefits."

  "Grandfather, are you wronging me?" Luo Ye pretended to be bewildered and shook her head, but in fact, she had calmed down when Old Master Wen scolded her father and mother.

  Everyone in the room dared not breathe a sigh of relief, which shows that the old man still has great authority and also proves that everything is arranged with the old man's consent.

  Since that's the case, being able to let them in as a family means that the old man had already forgiven his daughter. However, just because she was allowed in didn't mean she could be easily let off, and once Luo Ye understood this key point, he naturally wasn't as tense as before.

  "Hmm"

  The one who burst out laughing was a pretty girl of about twenty years old sitting on the right side, seeing the old man glance at her, she covered her mouth and held back with all her might.

  The old lady sighed softly: "Old man, it's almost enough. We're all over 40 years old and we understand what's going on. Do you want to drive her away again before you're happy?"

  She was extremely fond of her daughter, who would have thought that such a thing happened, causing her to lose two daughters at the same time. The old man's words were always law in the family, and he disliked her interfering with his decisions.

  After the old man drove his daughter and son-in-law out of the house, she could only bury her deep thoughts in her heart. Moreover, in her heart, she also felt that her daughter's irresponsibility should be punished.

  I have privately reminded my younger son, who has a very good relationship with his sister, to pay more attention to his sister's life. Fortunately, my daughter has been living relatively smoothly, and her husband treats her well, and they also have both sons and daughters. Otherwise, she would be worried sick about what might happen.

  She knows her daughter's temper very well, seemingly soft and indecisive, but actually very sensitive. Once she has made up her mind about something, no one can change it.

  This time, she was able to take the initiative to admit her mistake, which was beyond her expectation. She worried that her husband would be too strict and not like to show emotions, in case their daughter misunderstood again, it's possible that they might never see their daughter again.

  "A doting mother spoils her son." The old man glared at the old lady and went straight back to his study. Luo Ye caught a glimpse of him from the corner of her eye, his back as straight as a pen.

  The people on both sides obviously breathed a sigh of relief, and Wen Tong hurried over to pull up Wen Xinluo Zhenggang: "Sister, brother-in-law, it's not that I didn't want to contact you or pick you up, but the old man gave a strict order. If sister and brother-in-law can't even find the door, then they might as well not come back to the Wen family."

  "Yes, sister, brother-in-law, what Wentong said is true, welcome home." Eldest brother Wen Song hugged the two and patted them forcefully.

  "Little sister, you've suffered for so many years." Old 2 Wen Bo then hugged his sister.

  "Little sister, it's been so many years since we last met, and you're still as beautiful as ever." Sister-in-law Li Nianying said, pulling open the door: "Quickly let go of your sister, mom is still waiting."

  "Little sister, welcome home."

  "Miss, the old lady misses you."

  “……”

  Warmly responding to the greetings of his nephews and nieces, as well as the servants, he walked towards his mother who was sitting in her proper seat, holding a pair of children and wiping away tears, and trembled with voice, calling out: "Mom"

  "My foolish daughter" Old Lady Wen could no longer hold back, embracing her daughter and bursting into loud wails. Amidst the sobs were thoughts of warmth and memories of tenderness. This pair of twins had once been her greatest joy, but also her greatest sorrow.

  "Let your grandma cry for a while, she's been holding it in for too long." Wen Tong held back Luo Ye who wanted to comfort her and shook his head.

  "Mom, I'll go to Dad's study first and apologize to you later." It was inevitable that he would talk to his father-in-law sooner or later, so he might as well take the initiative. So, taking advantage of the moment when his mother and daughter stopped crying, Luo Zheng hurriedly said goodbye and went to the study.

  The old lady waved her hand at the crowd of people surrounding them: "Don't all gather around here, Xiao Tong, you're most familiar with Ye and Feng Er, give them a detailed introduction to your family members, I'll have a good chat with Xiao Xin."

  "Wen Tong intentionally made a bitter face: 'Mom, once you see my sister, you won't want to see us anymore.'"

  Seeing the old lady glare at herself, Wen Tong hugged Luo Ye and Luo Feng and pushed them to the middle: "You two good sisters get along well, I'll take Feng'er and Ye'er away."

  "These two kids are really likable. Ye'er looks just like Wen Xin when she was young, while Feng'er resembles Luo Zheng more."

  "Yè ér, you're even more beautiful than me! No way, I'm jealous. I thought I was pretty enough, but now I find that I've been surpassed by you in an instant."

  "Yè ér, fēng ér, I am your big brother Wén Yán."

  "Yè ér, fēng ér, I am your big brother Wén Sù."

  “……”

  The siblings suddenly felt their heads swelling, and the crowd rushed over to ask them to introduce themselves. The atmosphere was clearly at two extremes compared to when Grandpa was around.

  Wen Tong quickly pulled his siblings to sit beside him, "Stop stop stop, you two passionate Ye Er and Feng Er can't take it for a while? And how can you tell who's who? Big brother second brother, lead everyone to sit down, I'll introduce each of you in detail. Since we're family, we should understand each other clearly."

  When Wen Tong introduced each of his relatives, Luo Ye carefully sized them up.

  Da Shu Wen Song, 46 years old, looks very much like Grandfather, tall and slender, elegant and refined. He is currently the mayor of Sha City, and at first glance, he is a completely different kind of leader from Father, with a more elegant and cautious style.

  My elder aunt, Li Niangying, 45 years old, gentle and elegant, currently serving as the head of a certain department. Although she is not as lovely and beautiful as Wen Xin, the proud aura emanating from her bones adds to her charm.

  The elder uncle and aunt have a pair of twins, Wen Yan and Wen Su, which is also the reason why both of them are eager to introduce themselves as the eldest maternal cousin.

  According to Wen Tong, Wen Yan was born only three minutes earlier than Wen Su, which made Wen Su particularly resentful of being a younger brother for just three minutes. The two are now 22 years old and are both top students at Sha Shidian University, probably also the school's popular figures.

  The two brothers' appearance concentrated the advantages of their parents, with thick eyebrows and slender eyes, tall and majestic figures. Although they were 90% similar, they could be distinguished at a glance. The elder brother was about 180 cm tall, not particularly fond of smiling, while the younger brother was about 182 cm tall, with a smile often hanging on his lips.

  Er Shu Wen Bai, 44 years old, is the opposite of Da Shu in terms of image. He is about 176 cm tall and slightly plump, giving people a very approachable feeling. He and Wen Tong are responsible for the operation of the Wen Group together.

  My second uncle has a son and a daughter. The daughter is the beautiful woman who laughed so hard that she snorted, her name is Wen Ke, just like her name, delicate and lovely, sexy and charming, currently 21 years old, currently studying in the journalism department of S University in this city. The son, Wen Nan, is currently 15 years old, also a handsome young boy, currently studying in the second year of junior high school at No. 1 Middle School in this city.

  My second aunt was absent and Wen Tong didn't introduce her, probably for some reason.

  At the same time, Luo Ye hadn't seen his younger aunt either. It's likely that she had a falling out with her husband, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for her not to be around on a day like today.

  "Alright, I've finished introducing everyone. Let's take our younger brothers and sisters out for a stroll around the garden, while us elders have a good gathering."

  Wen Su shook his head: "Young uncle, aren't you afraid that the wind will be too strong and your tongue will get stuck? My dad and second uncle can be considered elders, and at your age, you're also an elder?"

  "Wen Tong scolded with a smile: 'You stinky kid, this has nothing to do with age. Our generation is already here, hurry up and take your younger siblings out to play for a while.'"

  "Little uncle, I don't like hearing you say that. My brother and I are not kids, why would we be called out to play?" Luo Ye glared at Wen Tong with dissatisfaction.

  "Alright, alright, I misspoke. Xiao Shu knows Ye Er's skills, who dares to underestimate Ye Er? Actually, what Xiao Shu meant was that our Wen family mansion is a famous ancient building in Sha City, and you siblings haven't taken a good look at it yet, right? Let your elder brother and sister accompany you for a stroll, that's all."

  "Yè ér, let's go. Xiǎo shū (little uncle) is still like a child himself and always likes to treat others like children." Wēn kě pulled Lòu Yè's arm and also tugged at Lòu Fēng: "Fēng ér, let's go."

  "Wen Ke, you always snatch the power from your two older brothers. Young uncle clearly said to let us take Ye and Feng for a spin, how unkind of you!" Wen Su said as he pulled open Wen Ke, embracing Luo Ye and Luo Feng on either side: "Ye, Feng, brother will accompany you for a spin."

  "Die, Xiao Su! You're not even acting like a brother anymore. Ye Er is mine, return Ye Er to me!" Wen Ke said as she grabbed onto Wen Su's wrist and bit down.

  "Wen Ke, are you a dog?" Wen Su looked at the clear teeth marks on his wrist, with a helpless expression.

  Wen Nan shook his head and sighed, "You two are always causing trouble, but today is a special day, you shouldn't be afraid of Ye Jie and Feng Ge laughing at you. Look, they're younger than you, but they're much more mature."

  Luofeng looked at Wen Nan with a tangled expression: "Xiao Nan, let's discuss something, can you stop calling me Brother Feng?"

  "You're obviously Feng Ge, what else would you be called?" Wen Nan crossed his arms behind his back: "A name is given by one's parents, you have no right to despise it."

  "You're such a pumpkin!" Luo Feng's expression was one of defeat.

  "Wow, how did you know my nickname? Maple Brother, you're too awesome!"

  Hahaha...

  Wen Ke couldn't stop laughing for half a day, rubbing his belly and saying: "Luo Feng, although Xiao Nan Gua is the smallest, he loves to interfere with others' business. Let's put it this way, Xiao Yan Ge is really mature, while Nan Gua just pretends to be."

  "Thank you, I like you guys." Luo Ye smiled happily and grasped Wen Ke's hand tightly, she could tell that the few of them were afraid that she and her brother would feel uncomfortable in a strange place, so they intentionally teased them to cheer them up.

  The first time they met, she was so happy to think of them like this. Originally, she was worried that the Wen family was a big family and her mother was kicked out of the house in such a situation, and the children of the Wen family might have rejected them from the bone. Now it seems that she was overthinking.

  "Little girl, don't think too much, you're obviously younger than me by a few years, but you always have this calm and collected look on your face, what's with the act of being a little adult?"

  "Yè ér isn't pretending, that's just her personality." Lù Fēng hurriedly defended her sister.

  The first update is 4,000 words, and there's another one that's 5,000 words, totaling 9,000 words. Hehe, I originally wanted to release them together, but work came up halfway through, messing up my plans. However, I should be able to finish updating everything before 10 o'clock.

  Special thanks to '戀貓﹏' for the cat's He Shi Bi, special thanks to '真贞' for the red envelope, special thanks to pink warmth, genuine subscription relatives.

  Also, I want to explain a bit about Xiao Han's extra chapter. Honestly, it's been a long time since I wanted to write and post it, but either I was busy or sick, and it kept getting delayed. I'm really sorry about that. I don't know if Qing Bao has seen "Faded Memories 08" yet, but regarding her request to see Xiao Han's extra chapter, I've been remembering it all along. It's not that I didn't care about your request, it's just... how should I put it? I'm a perfectionist, and others might say that an extra chapter is easy to write and post, but for me, it's even more difficult than writing the main story. I feel like the final conclusion needs to be perfect, which makes it hard for me to start writing. Sigh... give me a few more days, let me struggle with it some more.
