Chapter 1182: Chapter 705: Probing Further (Part 2)

Mr. Wen scrutinized him: "Are you just pretending to avoid getting hit?"

*Pfft!*

Old Master Wen can be surprisingly cute sometimes, Luo Ye burst into laughter.

Wen Su appeared helpless: "Grandpa, is that really how you see me? If I were truly afraid of getting hit, I would have dodged earlier; why take those hits from your crutches?" He touched the bump on his head and winced, "Grandpa, you did hit hard, did you use all your strength?"

"If you had explained it clearly earlier, you wouldn’t have taken those hits." Old Wen glared at him, "Remember, treat her well. No matter if the mine situation has anything to do with her father, don’t involve her family."

Wen Su’s eyes showed a hint of joy: "So, you’re saying you believe she wasn’t lying?"

"At my age, I still have an eye for people, and besides, you aren’t easy to fool, are you?"

"Hehe..."

"What’s with the ’hehe’? Don’t try to hide anything from your grandpa; you still have much to learn."

Wen Su nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I certainly know that. Not just in front of Grandpa, I wouldn’t dare hide anything even in front of Ye’er."

"Tsk, trying to sound nice, aren’t you just hoping I’ll help investigate the truth for your future second sister-in-law’s family?" Luo Ye glanced at him sideways, "Now you’re already calculating against your own sister. Later, you’ll probably sell out your sister for your second sister-in-law, right?"

"Ye’er, that’s a false accusation; how could I dare scheme against the world’s smartest?"

"Stop pretending, earlier you said all sorts of nice things like if I felt something was wrong, you’d break up immediately. That was all to pave the way for asking my help. Second Brother, your schemes are truly sly; Grandpa, do you think my analysis is correct?"

Grandpa shifted his gaze to the bookshelf: "Ah, I need to organize these books again."

"Grandpa, I’m wrong, please forgive me, I beg you." Wen Su was genuinely frightened this time, his face changed color; Grandpa’s words really are... a life sentence.

So-called organizing means, on a good day, moving each book out in the sunlight for two hours, then moving them back and organizing them neatly by category.

And the most critical thing is, Grandpa’s collection spans various fields, totaling over five thousand books. Without help from the servants, this organizing project can’t be completed in a day or two.

"You think everyone has the right to help me organize my collection? These are my treasures..." Grandpa tapped his fingers on the table, "It’s decided then. Organize them all for me before the New Year. If you’re sincere, do it yourself; if not, find someone to help."

"Grandpa..." Wen Su’s face contorted like a bitter melon, "I’ll organize, I’ll organize, as long as you don’t mind me going in and out."

"Won’t mind." Old Master Wen waved his hand, "But, your hands and feet need to be quick; one week, I’ll give you just one week."

Wen Su looked at Grandpa incredulously; was this to take his life? Grandpa treasures his collection so much, he wouldn’t dare carry them out en masse; this... this huge project, a month might be doable... okay, one week is fine, yet Grandpa added, if sincere, do it yourself; if not, find someone to help...

Grandpa leisurely sipped his tea: "Cloudy days don’t count."

Luo Ye guiltily glanced at her second brother; she started this, "Hehe," she offered a hint, "Second Brother, maybe have your future second sister-in-law help, that counts as sincerity."

*Knock knock knock... knock knock knock...*

"Come in!"

The study door opened, Little Pumpkin bared his teeth at them: "Second Brother’s phone has been ringing for a while, I went to check, it’s your future second sister-in-law calling."

Mr. Wen waved at Wen Su: "Go ahead." Seeing Little Pumpkin trying to slip inside, he glared, "Go play outside!"

"Second Sister was allowed in the study at seventeen, Grandpa really plays favorites." Little Pumpkin muttered, unwillingly closing the study door.

"Ye’er, don’t let your second brother’s matters affect your work, don’t compromise yourself." Old Master Wen adopted a serious expression, "Be cautious in everything."

Luo Ye sat up straight: "Grandpa, I understand, I have my principles."

"Hmm, Ye’er has changed quite a bit from before, that’s a good thing. Everyone should have some temper." Old Master Wen sighed lightly, "Gain some, lose some; only those directly involved have the greatest voice."

Knowing Grandpa was again thinking about the Wen Family in Beijing, Luo Ye stood up, looped her arm over Grandpa’s shoulder, "I trust that one day, Great Grandpa will come around."

"Hopefully, having gone more than halfway through life without understanding, it’s even less certain for the future." He sighed again, patted Luo Ye’s hand, "Ye’er did the right thing, sometimes endurance doesn’t solve problems, even with family."

"As long as Grandpa doesn’t blame me."

"Why blame Ye’er?" Old Master Wen quickly adjusted his mood and laughed, "With such a capable granddaughter, I couldn’t be happier; why blame you?"

"Hehe..." Someone was embarrassed by the praise.

"Grandpa, I’m going in." Wen Su’s voice came.

"Come in!"

Luo Ye scrutinized Wen Su’s face: "Second Brother, you don’t look too good, did something happen?"

Wen Su hesitated for a moment, then said: "Lu Qingqing said she has a bad feeling, but when she called home, her mom and grandparents acted perfectly normal, she’s really worried, so she called me.

Ye’er, if you’re available, could you help find out if her father has encountered any issues? But just to clarify, Ye’er, no need to help, just tell me the truth."
