CHAPTER 462: CHAPTER 276: LUO YE’S WORRIES
Hearing Luo Ye asking about Liang Huarui, Grandma sighed with a somber expression: "She’s in your little uncle’s room."
"What happened?" Luo Ye’s expression grew serious.
"After she confirmed her relationship with Xiao Tong, she went to the company to help out. You’ve seen your little uncle’s secretary Liu Mian, she’s set her heart on marrying into the Wen Family. How could she show a good face to her? The two of them have been openly and secretly clashing.
A few days ago, I caught a cold, and your little uncle didn’t go to the company. She wanted to show off and without your little uncle’s consent, she went to meet with a client.
As a result, she messed up a deal that was about to be closed. According to your little uncle, that business could have brought in several billion in profits every year. Now, your grandpa and your little uncle are discussing how to salvage it."
Luo Ye curled her lips: "This matter is partly little uncle’s fault too. Either he should fire Liu Mian, or he shouldn’t let little aunt into the company. Putting them together is just asking for trouble."
"It’s not entirely your little uncle’s fault. Although Liu Mian is a secretary, she has been at the company for nearly five years; you can’t just fire her like that.
Your little aunt, on the other hand, has her heart set on joining the company. No matter how your little uncle tries to persuade her, it’s no use, and now it has come to this.
Ever since the incident, she has stayed in your little uncle’s room and hasn’t come out. I understand her fears that once she leaves, she may never be able to enter this door again, alas, she hasn’t understood yet, we Wen Family value loyalty and solving matters properly rather than being stubborn."
Luo Ye thought for a moment: "What does little uncle think?"
"Your little uncle is a person of loyalty. Apart from being a bit angry, he has no other plans." Grandma said helplessly: "What’s truly unbearable is that she tries too hard to please everyone in the family, probably because she was frightened by the Hang Family before... Well, let’s not talk about these unhappy things, Ye’er, you’re still young, don’t worry about such things."
"It’s because I see Grandma unhappy, I thought I’d help analyze the situation." Luo Ye hugged her grandmother’s arm: "Her behavior is normal; fear of losing comes from caring. If little uncle truly likes her, slowly adjustment will work."
Grandma squinted and smiled while patting granddaughter’s head: "Little one, always talking like an adult."
"Grandma, I’ll be eighteen soon."
"Seeing Little Ye’er growing up and thinking of her getting married, by the way, I want to ask you, what’s exactly going on with you and that child from the Ye Family?"
"What is going on?" Luo Ye playfully acted dumb: "Weren’t we talking about little uncle? How did it turn to me?"
Grandma turned seriously towards Luo Ye, "Don’t play dumb with Grandma, didn’t you say the Ye Family was helping before? Why would they call your parents to prove that you are Ye Family’s eldest grandson’s wife?"
"Grandma, did mom tell you about that?" Luo Ye chuckled: "It’s just that."
"What exactly is it, explain clearly." Grandma definitely wanted to know everything.
"It’s... it’s that I agreed to be their eldest grandson’s wife." Luo Ye hummed faintly, murmuring to herself in surprise that this matter would be reported to Grandma first.
"Ye’er, is this of your own free will?" Grandma looked concerned.
"Yes." After thinking for a bit, Luo Ye understood her grandma’s worries, smiling, "Grandma, did you think that I agreed because of family reasons? Do I look that foolish?"
"Ye’er..." Grandma still looked troubled: "Do you really like that child?"
Suddenly realizing, Luo Ye recalled her mother and Ye Jia’an’s past, a taboo within the Wen Family. She had never thought about this before, nervously looking at Grandma: "Grandma, you won’t disapprove, will you?"
"After your mom called us, she was hoping we’d be mentally prepared to hear you might marry into the Ye Family. I didn’t think it would actually be true." Grandma sighed: "We don’t wish for Ye’er to marry into the Ye Family, however, if Ye’er truly likes that child, your grandpa and I won’t stop you, we... don’t have the right to stop you."
"Grandma..." Luo Ye hugged her grandma, at a loss for words, the past grievances had caused a separation between mom and the Wen Family for twenty years; all cooperation with the Ye Family was also terminated. How could the older generation not bear a mark in their hearts?
Grandma and Grandpa feel uncomfortable, what about Old Master of Ye Family? For a moment, Luo Ye’s mind was somewhat blurred; these past few days, she had been happy and hadn’t carefully considered the old people’s feelings.
She always believed that a marriage without elder’s blessings was not a happy one. Mr. Ye accepted her, probably because he still had feelings for her mom, but what was the attitude of the other elders in the Ye Family?
"Ye’er..." Sensing Luo Ye’s sudden mood drop, Grandma felt distressed and touched her granddaughter’s head: "As long as it’s someone Ye’er likes, Grandma and Grandpa won’t make it difficult for him, this matter, your grandpa and I have already discussed, don’t worry."
"Grandma, I want to go to my room to make a phone call." She couldn’t wait any longer, needing to confirm his family’s attitude now, or else she would be tormented.
Grandma waved her hand: "Go ahead, remember, Ye’er, we don’t take grievances."
"I know." Luo Ye kissed her grandma’s face and quickly ran to her own room, closed the door, took a deep breath, and dialed Ye Xuan’s phone.
"Hello, who is this?" His voice came cold and magnetic.
Luo Ye tried to keep her voice steady: "It’s me."
"Ye’er, I miss you." The voice suddenly became affectionate.
The smile on the corner of her lips unconsciously spread: "I miss you too, I am at Grandpa’s house."
"Qingzhu said she arranged for you to come over this afternoon, Ye’er... you’re not going to back out, are you?" Ye Xuan’s voice carried a hint of worry.
"No, I urgently need to ask you something, right now."
Ye Xuan chuckled lightly: "What’s so urgent?"
Luo Ye’s voice became serious: "Ye Xuan, you must promise to answer truthfully what I ask, and if I find out you’re lying or deceiving me, I’ll never acknowledge anything between us anymore!"
"Ye’er, what happened?" Ye Xuan felt a tightening in his heart, as he had never heard her address him that way nor had spoken to him in such a tone.
"Promise me first!" Luo Ye said firmly.
Ye Xuan nodded: "Okay, I promise you, everything I say will be the truth!"
"I want to know exactly how your family views our relationship right now?"
"They are all very happy." Ye Xuan let out a sigh of relief quietly: "So you were worried about this. The way you were speaking scared me to death."
"Ye Xuan, what I mean is, concerning the matter between my mom and your dad in the past, there must be people who mind, right? Like your grandparents, your mom, do they truly approve of us being together?
I’m not mentally prepared... to struggle against the elders, and if they have unresolved issues, it would be hard for us to be happy together."
Luo Ye’s voice carried a faint trace of sadness, which made Ye Xuan’s heart wrench; his magnetic voice turned somewhat hoarse: "Silly girl, how could you think of giving up? You still don’t understand me well enough, since I have decided to hold your hand, no matter what happens, I will never let go.
Also, the issue you are worried about doesn’t exist at all. Grandpa and Grandma have always respected my opinions, and as for the issue with Dad and your aunt, they have come to terms with it over the years.
As for my mom, Ye’er, I must tell the truth, she might be the only one who disapproves a bit, but you must believe that I will definitely find a way to make her accept you.
Since I decided to be with you, I will protect you and prevent you from being hurt at all costs, even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance of you getting hurt!"
"Big Brother Ye..." Luo Ye choked up: "I am really afraid of fighting with the elderly, my mom’s tragedy scared me, I don’t have the courage, like my mom."
"Fool, I will solve all problems. Ye’er just needs to live happily every day. I am coming over to see you now, okay?" Ye Xuan’s voice was full of doting.
Luo Ye quickly refused: "No, I just arrived at Grandma’s house with my classmates and Sister Qingzhu; they all went to play in the garden, I am chatting with Grandma, I ran up here to call you.
I haven’t even seen Grandpa yet, I dare not let you come over. Grandma said she and Grandpa will go along with me, but I still want to hear Grandpa telling me himself."
"Alright, I won’t force you." Ye Xuan chuckled lightly: "But, how can you call Qingzhu ’Sister’? She should be calling you ’sister-in-law’."
Luo Ye felt her cheeks "flush" with heat, feeling warm and fluttery inside, and she coyly covered her face and scolded playfully: "Annoying, hanging up."
"Wait a minute..." Ye Xuan hurriedly called out: "What time are you coming over this afternoon?"
"Can’t be sure, just wait patiently, see you."
"Wait..." Listening to the "beep beep" sound in the receiver, Ye Xuan looked helpless, she didn’t even say goodbye, this girl!
"Are you on the phone with your girlfriend?"
Ye Xuan followed the voice and saw Bai Yan leaning by the door smiling at him, a flicker of displeasure crossed his face: "Why didn’t you knock?"
Bai Yan laughed: "Deputy Commander Ye, I did knock, but you were so engrossed in your phone call that you totally ignored me. It seemed rude to just leave, so I had to wait here."
"Oh, sorry, what’s up?" Ye Xuan’s expression eased a little.
"I wanted to discuss the plan for the soldiers’ cultural and recreational activities with you. Since I’ve been assigned to manage the soldiers’ leisure activities, I must be responsible for them." Bai Yan said, sitting across from Ye Xuan: "This matter requires your cooperation."
Ye Xuan frowned: "All the training guidelines have been sent out; you can plan according to that. What’s there to discuss?"
"No, your training schedule is too packed; inserting breaks wouldn’t be relaxing but would increase the burden; you have to make time for this."
