Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1541: Chapter 898: Proposal

”Ah!...” The moment the door was pulled open, a dark figure screamed and rushed into the room, stumbling a couple of times before regaining their footing with difficulty.

”Hehe... Sis, I was just about to knock, why did you open the door?” Wen Xue laughed awkwardly, looking unnatural.

Wen Yu quickly stepped forward and shut the door tightly, staring straight at Wen Xue: ”Speak, how long have you been eavesdropping? What did you hear?” The matter of her rebirth had uncontrollably been told to Luo Ye, but if Wen Xue were to find out as well... the consequences would be unimaginable. Hence, Wen Yu’s tension at this moment was understandable.

”I just...” Wen Xue abruptly paused, rolling her eyes and giggling as she looked at Wen Yu, ”I heard everything I should have, what, are you planning to kill me to silence me?”

Luo Ye lightly patted the suddenly pale-faced Wen Yu, stepped forward, and smiled slyly at Wen Xue: ”Let’s see if you have the guts to say what you actually heard, there’s a prize if you’re right.”

Wen Xue glared at her: ”Why... why should I tell you?”

Hearing her say this, Wen Yu’s face returned to normal. Growing up together, she knew her sister’s personality all too well.

If she had really heard everything, she wouldn’t still be acting this way; she would have long since started gloating and threatening her.

Actually, she had never quite understood Grandpa’s educational methods.

Ever since they were young, Grandpa always favored Wen Xue with extreme indulgence while disregarding her entirely, resulting in Wen Gui being well-behaved in front of Grandpa, but arrogant and unlikable in front of everyone else.

She personally believed that with Grandpa’s shrewdness, he wouldn’t truly think that this behavior was actually good for the children. In the end, she wasn’t clear on the underlying reasons behind it all.

She always felt that Grandpa wanted to destroy the two sisters, just that he used excessive neglect on one and excessive spoiling on the other.

But no matter what, Grandpa was always better to Wen Xue than to her. At least in her previous life, she ended up being Wen Xue’s scapegoat.

”What are you thinking? Everyone has left, and you’re still in a daze?” Luo Ye waved a pebble the size of a bean in front of Wen Yu, ”Here, the strange sound you heard, it was made by this.”

Wen Yu blankly took the small stone, then seriously looked at Luo Ye: ”Do you know who’s been warning us?”

Luo Ye shrugged: ”Anyway, whoever it is, they’re a friend, not an enemy.”

”Why did she leave?” Wen Yu incredulously patted her head, ”This isn’t like her at all...”

”After being caught eavesdropping, what else is there for her to say?”

Wen Yu sighed softly: ”You don’t understand her. Even if she was caught eavesdropping, she’d find a reasonable excuse for herself and then keep pressing me about what it was you and I were discussing that was so shameful—that’s her character.”

Luo Ye rubbed her forehead speechlessly: ”I’m just confused. Even though the Wen Family in Beijing rarely interacts with the Wen Family in Sha City, both branches share the same origin, so how could their approaches to kids’ education be so different?”

Wen Yu lowered her head and said nothing. Although she had only been at the Sha City Wen Family for half a day, based on her observations, the Beijing branch and the Sha City branch were truly incomparable.

In terms of educating the male members of the family, Grandpa was quite reliable, but compared to the Sha City Wen Family, it still seemed a bit narrow-minded.

Considering that the Wen Family, with their roots in the Imperial City in Beijing, should be more grandiose than the Sha City Wen Family, why did it turn out the opposite? It made her feel quite embarrassed, after all, she was also a member of the Beijing Wen Family.

”Oh, of course, you’re the exception. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have received such immense blessings, right?” Seeing Wen Yu looking ashamed, Luo Ye quickly explained.

”Thank you.” Wen Yu gratefully smiled at her, ”I don’t know why, but the first time I met you I felt a sense of closeness, like... like we were very familiar in the past. But actually, in the previous life, I hadn’t met you either. This feeling is really strange.”

She found it strange, but Luo Ye didn’t. Now she believed that there were definitely some things predestined by fate, but of course, she wouldn’t become a saint without principles because of it.

In this world, some people must be dealt with by extraordinary means. To put it bluntly, if you’re facing a rogue, trying to reason with them is just asking for trouble, isn’t it?

Seeing that it was almost midnight, Luo Ye said farewell to Wen Yu and returned to her room. Having sorted through her doubts, she could now have a peaceful sleep.
