Chapter 438 Wen Leyu: Let Grandma Answer the Phone

Li Ye saw Pei Wencong off and took a basin to take a shower in the shower room.

He hasn't slept since last night, and he's been busy all day, with a drinking contest going on. Even if he's in good health, it's time to turn off the lights and rest.

However, when he came out of the shower, he faintly heard two aunts gossiping in the next room.

The eldest aunt Li Mingyue said mysteriously to her younger sister: "Hey, do you think Xiaoye's boyfriend is really broken up? Xiaoyue is getting married today, and no one from the Wen family showed up."

Li Mingxiang, the younger aunt, said, "Sister, what are you talking about? Today is the National Day celebration. How could someone like Teacher Ke have time to come? Our father wouldn't want to delay his work!"

"Besides, it's a good thing that they didn't come today," Li Mingyue said worriedly, "If they make fun of us, who knows if it will affect Xiaoye!"

"Forget it! The two adults don't have time to come, and the little one doesn't have time either? Hehe,"

The eldest aunt Li Mingyue laughed and said, "No wonder every time I asked my mother in the past two years, she said that Xiaoye and the girl from the Wen family were classmates. This time I didn't believe it and brought some money with me, but it turned out that I couldn't use it."

"Don't say that in front of Xiaoye! Otherwise, be careful that our mother will hit you with a rolling pin. Xiaoye is our baby now. It's not like before that you can say anything casually about him."

"I'm too lazy to talk about him! I've only talked about him a few times, and he's made my parents dislike us even more. As his aunt, I still have to endure the anger of a junior like him."

“.”

Li Ye listened for a while, then tiptoed towards his room with the basin in his hand.

My sister Li Yue is getting married today, but no one from the Wen family is here. This is a decision that Li Ye, Grandpa, and Wen Leyu had already agreed on.

Given the scale of today's National Day celebrations, Mr. Ke and Wen Qingsheng definitely don't have time to come. Given their positions, they have to be especially careful at this critical juncture.

If you go today, maybe no one will care, but if you don't go, someone might do something bad to you at any time. Which is more important, private affairs or national affairs?

Besides, Li Ye and Wen Leyu have not yet publicly confirmed their relationship!

As for Wen Leyu, she had always intended to come and see Li Yue off, but later she was chosen to become a representative of something from the University of Beijing.

And because her aunt's family was coming again, Li Ye finally discussed with her, Teacher Ke, her sister and her grandfather, and asked her to "focus on her business."

If Wen Leyu came today, and her aunt Li Mingyue offered her "money", would she accept it or not?

It’s not so easy to get money from my aunt’s house.

However, what Li Ye didn't expect was that Wen Leyu didn't come today, which made his aunt feel a little gloating.

Li Ye lazily returned to his room, and before he could enjoy the favor of the God of Bed, he heard the phone in the living room ringing.

Li Ye lived in the west room of the main house. The telephone was in the living room of the main house. Li Ye went over in his slippers and answered the phone.

The person on the other end of the phone was Wen Leyu.

"Li Ye, are you home yet?"

"Here I am. I've been busy all day. I just took a shower and am going to bed! How about you? You're going to the celebration today. It must not be easy, right?"

Li Ye's concern made Wen Leyu on the other side start to complain about being tired: "My feet hurt from standing too! I shouldn't have gone if I had known. I stood there for a whole day just to meet a few people. It's not like I don't know them."

Li Ye laughed and said, "What do you mean by two encounters? That's an opportunity that no one else can get. If others hear you saying this, they will definitely scold you for taking advantage of them."

Wen Leyu was immediately unhappy, "What do you mean by taking advantage of others? Is it because my grades are not outstanding enough? Or have I not published enough articles? I just don't compete with them normally. If I want to compete, they are no match for me."

“.”

Wen Leyu usually keeps a low profile in school, but this time he got an enviable opportunity. Some people will definitely say something strange about him.

But in fact, Wen Leyu stood out among her classmates in the same major in terms of both academic performance and the number of articles published in English journals. The only thing she lacked compared to those influential figures was her usual "positive performance."

However, "performance" is not a quantifiable evaluation indicator, so whether it can become a decisive key factor is a bit "metaphysical".

"Yes, yes, my Lord Xiaoyu is invincible in the world and has no rivals."

"Forget it! I can't beat you right now! You're lying without a care in the world."

Li Ye now likes to bicker with Wen Leyu, because this is a pleasure that belongs only to Li Ye, and Wen Leyu never talks nonsense with others.

After the two talked for a long time, Wen Leyu finally said, "Is Grandpa home? My dad wants to talk to him!"

Li Ye immediately became serious and went to the east room of the main house to ask, "Grandma, is Grandpa back?"

Grandma Wu Juying said, "No, didn't she just go out for a walk? Maybe she's chatting with the old man at the entrance of the alley right now!"

Li Ye had no choice but to say to Wen Leyu: "Grandpa is out for a walk. Is there anything urgent? If there is, I'll go out and look for you."

Wen Leyu immediately said: "It's not urgent. Wait a minute."

Li Ye listened to Wen Leyu whispering to someone on the other end of the phone, and guessed that Wen Qingsheng was already on the other end of the phone.

Soon, Wen Leyu said to Li Ye: "It doesn't matter if grandpa is not at home, grandma can also do it. My mom wants to talk to grandma. Can you ask grandma if it's convenient for her to answer the phone?"

That must be convenient!

Li Ye was about to call Wu Juying, but suddenly he remembered the gossip he had just heard from his two aunts.

So he stood up and walked quickly to grandma's room, whispering, "Grandma, come here for a moment. Teacher Ke wants to talk to you."

Wu Juying was stunned for a moment, but she was not nervous. She came over, picked up the phone and started chatting with Teacher Ke.

"Hey, Mr. Ke, long time no see!"

"It's been a while. We missed you guys. Are you free tomorrow? We want to treat you to a meal."

The smile on Wu Juying's face blossomed like a flower.

"I'm free. Which restaurant should we go to? No need to pick me up, we can just go there by ourselves. Okay, what's the good thing? Oh, it's not too much trouble, is it?"

“.”

Wu Juying chatted with Teacher Ke for five minutes, with a smile on her face the whole time.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Juying immediately ordered Li Ye: "Go and inform your sister now, and ask her to get ready with Yumin tomorrow. Teacher Ke and his family are going to treat us to a meal."

Li Ye pursed his lips and said helplessly, "What time is it? You want me to disturb my sisters at this time. Is that right? It's not too late to go and call them tomorrow morning. Grandma, don't make a fuss."

Wu Juying glared at him: "Why is that outrageous? I have been with your grandfather for so many years, I know these things better than you do. They have already extended the ladder to you, and you still think it's too tiring to take a step?"

Li Ye shrank his neck and shook his head vigorously, saying: "I'm not going, if you want to go, you go."

“.”

Wu Juying was a little angry, but after thinking about it, she realized it was right, so she changed her tone and said, "Then go and inform your sister tomorrow morning. Don't treat it as a small matter.

Don’t think that just because someone is nice to you, you should take their kindness for granted. For Yumin, this may be the only chance he has. ”

"Okay, okay, we can go at eight or nine tomorrow morning."

"It's still eight or nine. You have to be at Zhongguancun by seven."

"Who can get up at seven? I don't want to be annoying!"

"Which new bride doesn't get up at 7 o'clock on the first morning? Do you think your sister is a lazy woman? Try being one minute later tomorrow! I'll go grab you from under the covers."

“.”

Li Ye went back to his room to sleep reluctantly, but someone who was eavesdropping outside came in awkwardly.

The eldest aunt Li Mingyue found grandma Wu Juying and said with a smile: "Mom, who were you talking to on the phone just now? You are smiling like this, is there something good?"

The smile on Wu Juying's face disappeared instantly, and she said to Li Mingyue with a cold face: "It has nothing to do with you even if there is a good thing. Go back to your room and sleep. Buy a train ticket to go home tomorrow!"

Li Mingyue pouted in grievance and said, "Mom, Xiaoyue will be back the day after tomorrow, how can we leave tomorrow?"

"It's enough for her parents to be there when she returns home. Why do you, as an aunt, have to get involved?"

“.”

Li Mingyue was scolded and returned to her room in anger.

My uncle Cui Zhixian observed her expression and asked quietly, "What's wrong? Is our mother unhappy again?"

Li Mingyue said irritably: "My mother called me for a long time just now, and I wanted to ask who it was, but she got angry at me and asked us to go back to Qingshui County tomorrow."

Cui Zhixian frowned and was silent for a moment, then he said with certainty: "The call must have come from the Wen family, and it is very likely not from the girl in the Wen family, but from her parents."

Li Mingyue sat up straight: "What? Someone from the Wen family? How do you know? No one from their family came to Xiaoyue's wedding today."

Cui Zhixian shook his head and said, "What day is it today? What's his status? It's definitely not convenient for him to come here when there are so many people around. But he called so late, so he must have a phone at home.

You know my mother's temper. How could an average person talk to her for such a long time? The most likely person is the Wen family. The girl from the Wen family is likely to have never broken up with Xiao Ye."

Cui Zhixian is indeed a man who is good at scheming. He analyzed a series of things from a phone call.

Of course, in 1984, most people didn’t make phone calls, let alone long calls, so the scope of analysis would naturally be narrowed to a very narrow range.

"Xiao Ye has not broken up with the girl from the Wen family? Oh no, I just told Mingxiang that Xiao Ye and that girl have broken up."

"Look at your mouth! What are you doing..."

Cui Zhixian immediately said impatiently: "You still don't understand, you are at a disadvantage because of this mouth! Otherwise, would I not go to see Xiaoyue off when she gets married today?

Yang Yumin is just a clerk in the Central Selection Department, but the Wen family is a behemoth~"

Li Mingyue was also annoyed and said angrily: "You ask me to go and get involved with them all day long. When have I, Li Mingyue, ever been so angry? Even if the Wen family is a behemoth, can't we live without them?"

"You still say it's all my fault. When our father lost his job, if you hadn't been so eager to draw a line in the sand, would it be so difficult for me to do this now?"

“.”

Cui Zhixian was silent for several minutes, waiting for Li Mingyue to finish speaking with tears and snot, and then he said something quietly.

"Mingyue! If I hadn't drawn a clear line at that time, I wouldn't be able to become a deputy department head now.

But if I don't have any help now, my career as an assistant professor will be over.

But if someone from the capital can come down and say something, it would only take a blink of an eye for me to surpass my father."

"If this person wants to climb higher step by step, he must not make any mistakes. Once he makes a mistake..."

"Okay, don't tell me this, I understand."

Li Mingyue wiped her tears and interrupted her man.

"I'll go and beg my father tomorrow. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected! It's just a matter of a word, how can it be stopped?"
