Chapter 1624: Chapter 933: The Terrifying Truth
"It shouldn’t be fake. According to him, he was abandoned at age five and found his way back home nine years later, suffering much in the process..." Wen Yu lowered his voice, "He has always suspected Great Grandmother, so..." At this point, he spread his hands and stopped talking.
"No wonder..." Luo Ye looked enlightened. If that’s the case, Old Master Wen’s character could be explained, and it also makes sense for him to suspect Great Grandmother.
"This matter is known to everyone in the Wen Family in Beijing; he never hides it and often talks about it in front of the younger generation." Wen Yu added.
"Hmm, that’s his style." Luo Ye was not surprised by this; given Old Master Wen’s character, it would be strange if he didn’t do this. "Growing up in such an environment, you’re someone I truly admire."
"Why I am like this, you know..." Wen Yu’s eyes showed a hint of sadness, "I don’t even know if my parents really are..."
Luo Ye warmly draped an arm over her shoulder: "Sister Xiao Yu, I’ll help you with this."
"Ye’er, thank you." Besides expressing gratitude, Wen Yu didn’t know what else to say to convey her feelings.
"Why are you being polite with me?" Luo Ye said while walking out, "If I don’t leave now, I’ll truly be late. By the way, if my guess was right, let’s go together."
This season doesn’t offer many fun places; shopping isn’t Grandma’s favorite. Chatting with the elderly folks might be nice."
Wen Yu’s face immediately showed a smile: "Hmm, I think it’s a great idea too. After all, I particularly like your good friends."
"Oh, listening to Sister Xiao Yu, are you trying to compete for favor with us two?"
"If I dared compete with Ye’er for favor, I imagine your friends would steam me in a pot." Wen Yu spoke with a hint of envy, "Having one close friend is enough for me."
"What, am I not Sister Xiao Yu’s close friend?"
"Of course, you are." Wen Yu’s face showed less disappointment; after all, she shared such private matters with the other, so how could she not be considered a close friend?
Upon hearing the idea of visiting a nursing home, Old Mrs. Wen was immediately delighted. Watching her leave with such energetic steps, Mr. Wen couldn’t help but feel guilty; had he known earlier that she liked socializing with elderly folks so much, he wouldn’t have waited until today to take her to a nursing home. Alas, he was still too insensitive, never really understanding his partner’s true needs.
"If everyone has the ability to leave, leaving this house to me, I’d be happier." Before Old Mrs. Wen’s figure disappeared, Old Master Wen muttered, apparently uncomfortable seeing others comfortable.
Old Mrs. Wen paused her steps.
"Grandma, at home there’s Grandpa, little uncle, little aunt, Sister Coco is upstairs, Little Pumpkin will bring Little Mi home to play later, Second Brother might come back around noon, and tomorrow Sister Qingqing will return to her hometown. As the soon-to-be second sister-in-law, she will surely visit to say goodbye before she leaves." Luo Ye quickly explained.
"Old man, why don’t you come with me to the nursing home..." Old Mrs. Wen turned to look at Mr. Wen, "With us out of the house, the kids won’t be so restricted; they’ll play more joyfully."
Mr. Wen thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay." The less they seemed to care, the more uncomfortable a certain person would likely feel. Why hadn’t he realized this earlier?
"Let’s go then, everyone is gone, leaving this family just to me." Old Master Wen sat comfortably on the sofa with his leg up in a manner most provoking.
"Bang!"
"Oh... ow..."
"Grandpa, we should get a sturdier sofa; I accidentally bumped it, and it just flipped over..." Luo Ye looked under the sofa, "Is the person underneath alright?"
"Get... the sofa... up, I’m being crushed!" Old Master Wen’s muffled voice came from below.
"Grandpa, when we come back, let’s go to the furniture mall and check out sofas, how about that?" Luo Ye said while nudging the sofa again with her foot, making it slide forward another short distance, "See, this sofa is just too light."
Wen Yu followed, nudging the sofa with a change in her expression. The sofa looked like it was made of mahogany, but Luo Ye’s nudge seemed too effortless, stirring her curiosity to try it herself. Could it be she misjudged it?
The fact proved she wasn’t wrong; the sofa’s weight matched her initial assumptions completely! Then, as for Luo Ye’s skills...
