Therefore, after the patriarch expelled his daughter and son-in-law from the house, she could only bury her longing deep in her heart. Moreover, she also felt that her daughter’s irresponsibility deserved punishnt.
Privately, she instructed her youngest son, who had a very good relationship with his daughter, to pay more attention to her life. Fortunately, her daughter had been leading a relatively satisfactory life, her son-in-law treated her well, and they had both a son and a daughter. Otherwise, she couldn’t imagine how tornted she would be.
She understood her daughter’s temperant very well, seemingly gentle and indecisive, but actually very sensitive. Once she made up her mind about sothing, no one could persuade her otherwise.
This ti, her daughter’s initiative to co back and apologize was beyond her expectations. She worried that her husband was too harsh and not expressive of his emotions, fearing it might lead to another misunderstanding with her daughter, potentially resulting in never seeing her again.
"A doting mother leads to a spoiled child!" the patriarch glared at Old Mrs. Wen, then headed straight back to his study, with Luo Ye catching a glimpse of his upright and straight back from the corner of her eye.
The people on both sides visibly sighed in relief. Wen Tong hurriedly went over and pulled Wenxin Luo Zhenggang: "Sister, brother-in-law, it’s not that I intentionally avoided contacting you or picking you up. The patriarch had given a strict order that if you can’t even find the door to our house, then you might as well not return to the Wen Family."
"Yes, sister, brother-in-law, what Wen Tong said is all true, welco ho!" Eldest brother Wen Song hugged the two tightly and patted their backs.
"Little sister, these years must have been hard on you." Wen Bai, the second brother, then embraced his sister.
"Little sister, you’re as beautiful as ever after all these years." Sister-in-law Li Niangying said as she pulled Wen Bai away, "Let go of sister, mom is waiting."
"Little aunt, welco ho!"
"Miss, Old Mrs. Wen misses you so much!"
...
Wenxin responded to the greetings of nieces, nephews, and servants while walking towards her mother, who was sitting in the principal seat wiping her tears with both her children, tremblingly calling out, "Mom!"
"My foolish daughter!" Old Mrs. Wen could no longer hold back, and hugged her daughter, bursting into a loud cry. Her crying expressed both her longing for Wenxin and her reminiscence for Wen Rou. The twin sisters had been her greatest joy and also her greatest sorrow.
"Ye’er, let your grandma cry it out, she’s been holding it in for too long." Wen Tong held back Luo Ye, who wanted to console her, shaking her head.
"Mom, I’ll go to dad’s study first and apologize later." Sooner or later he had to talk with his father-in-law, so he might as well take the initiative. Thus, as the mother and daughter’s crying ceased, Luo Zhenggang quickly excused himself to the study.
Old Mrs. Wen waved away the surrounding crowd, "Don’t crowd around here. Xiao Tong, you know Ye’er and Feng’er the best, give them a detailed introduction to the family mbers, and I’ll have a good chat with Xiao Xin."
Wen Tong playfully frowned, "Mom, you see my sister and you forget about us."
Seeing Old Mrs. Wen give her a stern look, Wen Tong pushed Luo Ye and Luo Feng towards the center, "You two have a good ti bonding, I’ll take Ye’er and Feng’er away."
"These two children are really adorable; Ye’er looks a lot like Wenxin when she was young, while Feng’er looks more like Luo Zhenggang."
"Ye’er, you are even more beautiful than , no, I’m jealous. I thought I was pretty enough, but now I realize I’ve been outshined by Ye’er in an instant."
"Ye’er, Feng’er, I’m your eldest cousin Wen Yan."
"Ye’er, Feng’er, I’m your eldest cousin Wen Su."
...
The siblings felt their heads swelling as the crowd surged towards them for introductions, creating an atmosphere starkly different from when Grandpa was present.
Wen Tong quickly pulled the siblings aside to sit, "Stop, stop, stop, you’re overwhelming Ye’er and Feng’er for the mont, and how can they even tell who is who? Eldest brother, second brother, please have everyone sit down. I’ll introduce everyone one by one, since we are family, we should clearly understand each other."
As Wen Tong introduced each family mber, Luo Ye observed them closely.
Eldest Uncle Wen Song, 46 years old, greatly resembling Grandpa, tall and thin, elegant. He currently serves as the Mayor of Sha City, obviously a prudent and refined leader, totally unlike his father.
Eldest Aunt Li Niangying, 45 years old, gentle and graceful, currently the head of a departnt. Though not as beautiful as Wenxin, the pride emanating from her adds to her charm.
Eldest Uncle and Aunt have a pair of twin sons, Wen Yan and Wen Su, which is why both were eager to introduce themselves as the eldest cousin.
According to Wen Tong, Wen Yan was born just three minutes before Wen Su, which Wen Su was particularly unhappy about, always reluctant to be the younger brother. Both are now 22 years old, high-achieving students at Shashi University, likely prominent figures at the school.
