Chapter 1661: Chapter 943: Bai Family Representative_2

Bai Yan doing this, well, you can’t say she was wrong. After all, they are her biological grandparents. She can’t just sit by idly, but the timing she chose is really distasteful.

On the day of Grandpa Ji and Grandma Hua’s big celebration, she brings this matter up, giving Old Mrs. Wen no choice but to agree. And even though there aren’t many outsiders present, a disgrace in one’s maternal family surely doesn’t look good for Old Mrs. Wen.

It’s just that, considering how heartless Elderly Mrs. Bai was back then, even when Old Mrs. Wen humbled herself attempting reconciliation with Mr. Bai, she maintained that same vile attitude. Now, having Old Mrs. Wen try to broker peace is indeed pushing it.

Old Master Wen glanced meaningfully at Bai Yan, then patted Old Mrs. Wen: "After the new year, I’ll go with you to pay respects to elder brother."

Putting Old Mrs. Wen in a difficult spot, she glared at her husband: "You won’t go with me? Do you want me to go alone?"

"Hehe..." Everyone laughed.

"Yes, yes, I spoke too soon." Old Master Wen promptly sought forgiveness from the Lady, easing the somewhat awkward atmosphere instantly.

"Yan’er, I understand your intention. Rest assured, I’d rather take down ten temples than break one marriage. Besides, the elder brother and his wife have been together for decades, I’ll do my best.

That said, whether they can reconcile is not up to me. It’s not something that happens overnight."

"Auntie, as long as you are willing to intervene, I couldn’t be more grateful." Bai Yan quickly expressed her stance, then said with an apologetic face, "I know, bringing up this topic in today’s setting is inappropriate, but I have no choice.

If I missed today, I don’t know when I’ll have the chance to visit the Wen Family again, and also, I wanted to inform Auntie beforehand to give you a heads-up."

Luo Ye stood up: "Counselor Bai, let me take you for a stroll."

Bai Yan is a counselor for the fifth troop, so it’s correct for Luo Ye to address her like this, though at a family dinner, using her official title is quite pointed.

Bai Yan’s eye twitched slightly, smiled at Old Mrs. Wen: "Auntie, I’ll go for a stroll with Ye’er then."

"Go, go, you young people should stay in touch," Old Mrs. Wen chuckled looking at Luo Ye, "Ye’er, take Yan’er to the garden."

"Alright." Luo Ye nodded at Bai Yan, turned, and walked out.

Xing Nong hesitated for a moment, tugged on Yaoguang, and followed along. Ying Nuo glanced at Jiang Yang, bit her lower lip, and also got up to follow.

"What, you all want to take a stroll?" Luo Ye looked back at the group, her eyes filled with humor, these intimate friends were closer than her cousins, who worried about etiquette, while they only worried about her.

Xing Nong nodded: "Yes, with Counselor Bai here, of course we should accompany her."

Noticing Luo Ye’s gaze shifting to her, Ying Nuo quickly added: "Luoluo, watching this man is useless, better let him decide what to do, I’m just too worn out watching. Your sister Jiang Yang wants to pounce on him, she can go ahead, but I’ll say ugly things now. If your brother falls for her pouncing, I will never forgive."

"Suit yourself." Luo Ye shook her head helplessly, she reminded Ying Nuo to stick close to her brother to prevent Jiang Yang from doing disgusting things.

But Ying Nuo was right, watching is nothing compared to self-awareness. If a relationship requires supervision, it surely is exhausting.

Even if the other party is her brother, if he truly did something wrong to Ying Nuo, she wouldn’t forgive him.

While thinking this, she saw Ye Xuan, Luo Feng, Lu Lu, Wen Ke, Wen Nan, all coming out, trailing behind distantly.

Bai Yan looked back, then said: "Luo Ye, I’m really envious of you."

"Many things are mutual, with cause, there is effect." Luo Ye said calmly.

"I know, you’re upset with me, you don’t want me to stay and say anything more to Auntie, but I have no choice, they are my biological grandparents.

If it were you, faced with such a situation, what would you do? Even if my grandmother is not amiable, unreliable, as long as she’s with Grandpa, the family remains whole.

Selfishly speaking, if Grandpa and Grandma divorce, how can we, unmarried juniors, hold our heads high in our future in-laws’ families?"

"It’s not for me to interfere in your family matters, nor do I have the right to, but you shouldn’t have done this on a day like today, don’t you think it’s despicable?" Luo Ye asked as she stopped, staring fixedly at Bai Yan, "Counselor Bai, I understand your actions, but that doesn’t mean I can forgive."

"If you were born into a family like the Bai family, you would forgive." Bai Yan replied, undaunted, "As Heavenly Pride, you have the privilege to look down on everything, but I don’t." Then glanced at Ye Xuan behind them, "Just like him, if you didn’t meet him at just the right time, would it still be you with him today?"

Bai Yan’s words seemed illogical, yet they implied that Luo Ye’s relationship with Ye Xuan was only possible because she met him early, and the Wen Family happened to support it, otherwise, given the Luo family’s background, would the Wen Family agree to the match?

Clearly, even now, Bai Yan couldn’t fully let go of Ye Xuan, although she stopped making moves to approach him intentionally, that didn’t mean she had truly released that one-sided affection.

To her, it wasn’t one-sided love, just a matter of timing.

Luo Ye glanced at her, then beckoned to Ye Xuan: "Come over, I have something to ask you."
