Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 782: Chapter 469: Facing

Elder Zhan and Elder Zhong looked at Feng Taixing with dissatisfaction. No matter how you looked at it, the three of them were equally renowned in the industry, so how did they suddenly become Feng Taixing’s little followers?

Feng Taixing widened his eyes at the two: ”You two, what’s with the grim faces? Are you feeling aggrieved just because you’re helping me out?

If you could treat the patient yourselves, would I need you to assist? Or...” Grandpa raised an eyebrow, ”Are you unwilling to teach your needlework to our Ye’er?”

Elder Zhan smiled helplessly at him: ”Old Feng, could you stop calling her ’our Ye’er’ all the time? If we really get into it, Little Ye’er is actually related to us.

Since we’re also teaching Little Ye’er, she naturally becomes our apprentice as well. You’re always excluding us; what’s your intention?

Or are you worried that Little Ye’er will be closer to us?” Elder Zhan suddenly patted his forehead, ”Ah, that’s it, you’re jealous! Haha, you haven’t even started yet and you’re already jealous, you old vinegar jar.”

”What’s wrong with being an old vinegar jar? Hmph!” Feng Taixing’s face darkened as he looked at Old Master Ye, ”Let me tell you, his willingness to let his grandson teach Little Ye’er the needlework definitely means he wants to marry her into his family. Don’t rely on him being a good guy!”

”We’re relatives with the Old Ye Family, your instigation won’t work.” Elder Zhan smugly pulled over Zhan Ping, ”See? My grandson, Old Ye’s grandson, isn’t that close?”

”Hello, Grandpa Feng.” Zhan Ping quickly greeted.

Feng Taixing sized up Zhan Ping and snorted, ”At least you’re better than your Grandpa...”

Seeing the two elders bickering like old children, the tense expressions of those who had been serious for days gradually relaxed, with rare smiles appearing in their eyes.

Old Master Ye pondered and looked at the old and young of the Ye Family: ”These days haven’t been easy. From today, let’s take turns coming over.

The old master can’t stand disturbances, and staying outside waiting doesn’t make sense. A few come every day, go in and chat with the old master, better than everyone waiting outside.”

”Yes.” Everyone responded in unison. Though it was already planned, everyone was concerned about the old master’s condition and couldn’t settle down at home. Even though shifts were arranged, they were ultimately not executed.

The old master lives in a VIP ward, with a small cubicle for people to stay besides the sickbed, complete with a kitchen and bathroom. With this convenience, Luo Ye and Ye Xuan staying here is quite handy.

After arranging everyone, Old Master Ye sent those not on duty home, while he himself naturally accompanied the Wen Family and Luo Family back to the Ye Residence.

With the old master showing signs of improvement, the Wen Family and Luo Family wouldn’t insist on staying outside the ward. First, it’s not appropriate, and second, it might undermine Luo Ye’s position in the Ye Family.

If it weren’t for the old master’s special attention to Luo Ye, Luo Ye wouldn’t need to wait here like this. This matter is quite nuanced.

Once seated in the Ye Mansion, Old Master Ye hesitated for a moment and looked at Old Master Wen, ”Are you still planning to stay in Beijing for the Spring Festival as you mentioned before?”

”Did you think I was just talking nonsense?” Old Master Wen glared at him, ”Anyway, the engagement is at the Wen Family, so why can’t the New Year be at the Ye Family? Don’t think of me as a stubborn old fossil.”

”What about Zhenggang? What are your plans?” Old Master Ye looked at Luo Zhenggang sitting nearby.

Luo Zhenggang thought briefly and said, ”Since the old master has stabilized, I’ll return to Island City first. On New Year’s Day, I might not make it to Beijing until after midnight, so I’ll ask Uncle Ye to forgive me.”

Old Master Ye waved his hand: ”We’re all within the system. If we can’t even handle such a minor issue, wouldn’t that be a waste of all our experience?”

”Thank you, Uncle Ye. It’s mainly because of this situation that I’m speaking like this.”

Old Master Ye thought for a moment: ”You go ahead with your tasks. I’ve pre-arranged the route, so once you’re done, you can go to Seventh for boarding, making sure you arrive before the kids finish their New Year’s greetings.”

”No, no, no...” Luo Zhenggang quickly waved his hands, ”I can’t use such privileges just for me. I’ve booked the tickets in advance to ensure I won’t miss the kids’ greetings.”

Old Master Ye laughed, ”My elder brother’s whole family is back for New Year this year. Such a rare occasion, using it once won’t hurt.”

”No!” Old Master Wen waved dismissively with a displeased tone, ”Making such exceptions would lead to gossip, all directed at him. Besides, why worry about my son-in-law’s affairs?”

Old Master Ye pointed at him helplessly, ”You Old Wen, you said you weren’t old-fashioned, yet here you are, arguing with me.”

”Making exceptions like this for one person isn’t good.” Grandpa Luo looked seriously at Old Master Ye, ”In-laws, if we consider the Luo Family’s standing, it’s really not comparable to the Ye Family.

Precisely because of this, we have to avoid doing anything out of line. If anything would harm Ye’er, we cannot do it!”

”In-laws...” Old Master Ye looked awkwardly at Grandpa Luo, momentarily at a loss for words.

He understood what the other meant, but with Su Sha’s situation, if persuasion worked, why is it still like this now?

To get to the root, it’s because his son was a bit perfunctory about marriage back then, and over the years, he was also perfunctory towards Su Sha. Before Xiao Xuan and Ye’er were together, Su Sha was actually quite virtuous and tolerant. It was only after finding out Ye’er was Wen Xin’s daughter did her mentality get disrupted. Since he was in the wrong, he couldn’t intervene.

The atmosphere quickly became awkward, and as the person at the center of this matter, Wen Xin hesitated, looking at Su Sha: ”Su Sha, can you take me out for a walk?” Then she smiled and explained, ”With good news from the old master, my heart feels lighter. Considering this might be Ye’er’s future home, as her mother, I’d like to familiarize myself. I’m sorry for being impolite.”

Su Sha smiled reluctantly, ”Sure, I’ll take you out for a walk.”

Luo Zhenggang secretly squeezed Wen Xin’s wrist, proud of his wife’s strength. In the past, she probably would have just stayed away, not being proactive like this.

Ye Jia’an glanced nervously at his father, then at Wen Xin, lips moving slightly, but ultimately said nothing.

In his position, it was indeed awkward. In reality, he was the one abandoned by Wen Xin. Upon meeting again, with just one look, he realized she always occupied a corner of his heart.

That feeling doesn’t mean he still harbors thoughts. It’s just that he left a corner of his heart for her eternally.

He envied Luo Zhenggang, who received all her love. Observing him, in all aspects, the counterpart wasn’t much better than him. You can only say that love can’t be coerced, nor is it something that effort guarantees.
