Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 639

Chapter 639 - It Draws a Close to Our Affinity with Her

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Xinya only returned to the Wen Family home at nine in the evening.

Upon sight of her, Mother Wang hurriedly rushed forward and said anxiously, “Missy, you’re finally home. Hurry and go take a look at Old Sir! After taking his breakfast, Old Sir has yet to eat anything until now. The door of his study is tightly shut and he refuses to open it. When I called the landline upstairs, he said that he doesn’t have the appetite to eat.”

Old Mrs. Wen had left the house for her mahjong session after Xia Ruya arrived, and had yet to come home since then. Mother Wang did not wish to disturb Wen Xinya either because she knew that the latter was having lessons in school.

Wen Xinya frantically asked, “How’s Grandpa?”

She thought, Grandpa has had a great appetite for the past few days, why did he lose his appetite all of a sudden?

Mrs. Wang answered, “I don’t know the details. All I know is that Miss Xia came by in the morning and the two of them had a chat in the study. After Miss Xia left, Old Sir seemed to be in low spirits and I didn’t dare to disturb him either.”

Mother Wang had a look of disdain on her face when she mentioned Xia Ruya. She felt angry for the Wen Family because of how Xia Ruya turned her back against them and tried to harm them. Old Mrs. Wen had also wept about it for a long while, and Old Mr. Wen had become much more haggard than before.

Wen Xinya was rather taken aback to hear that Xia Ruya had dropped by. “Mother Wang, don’t worry. I’ll go upstairs to take a look.”

Wen Xinya realized that the servants of the Wen Family used to address Xia Ruya affectionately as “Miss Ruya”. Yet, they actually changed the way they addressed her and now addressed her simply and coldly as “Miss Xia”.

Mother Wang felt much more relieved.

Wen Xinya grabbed the bowl of meticulously prepared soup from Mother Wang’s hands and headed upstairs slowly.

She knocked twice but did not get an answer. She then leaned closer towards the door and exclaimed, “Grandpa, it’s me, Xinya!”

Soon, sounds of the door being unlocked could be heard and the door was opened.

Wen Xinya entered the study with a tray of food. Noticing that Old Mr. Wen seemed to be out of sorts, she broke the silence and said, “Grandpa, Mother Wang said that you haven’t eaten all day. You have to eat to get going. You’re already old in your years and yet, you’re still so willful.”

She then scooped a bowl of piping hot meat porridge for Old Mr. Wen.

Old Mr. Wen said with a frown, “I don’t have much of an appetite.”

Wen Xinya moved the bowl of porridge towards him and asked, “Grandpa, do you want me to feed you?”

Old Mr. Wen hurriedly gestured to indicate his refusal. He had no choice but to grab the bowl and take a few spoonfuls of porridge.

The pork porridge was bland and delectable. After taking two spoonfuls, Old Mr. Wen’s appetite improved and he continued to eat two more bowls to fill himself up.

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief.

Old Mr. Wen felt much better after eating some food. He then said, “I called Ruya and told her to come by today. I’ve transferred some of my assets to her.”

Wen Xinya was slightly stunned, though she nodded slightly to show her nonchalance.

She could guess what Old Mr. Wen’s intentions were. Although Xia Ruya had taken things too far, the fact that they had lived together for twelve years could not be erased. Old Mr. Wen was showing her mercy because of that. Logically speaking, Xia Ruya was resentful towards the Wen Family and thus, he felt that it would be best to cut the Gordian knot as soon as possible.

“Well, I guess I’ve drawn a close to our affinity with her,” Old Mr. Wen said, his eyes glistening. He did not have any other intentions because he was an upright person. Yet, Xia Ruya failed to be upright. He could not help but shake his head at the thought of the words that she had said earlier on.

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Miss Xia was raised by the Wen Family for twelve years. It’s only right for you to do so.”

Things were much better compared to the previous lifetime where she heard about Old Mr. Wen’s will from Ning Yuya, one month after she returned to the Wen Family home. Back then, Old Mr. Wen bequeathed fifty percent of his bonds, two properties and fifty million yuan worth of jewelry to Xia Ruya, as well as five percent of the Wen Corporation’s shares.

Before she passed away, she found out that he had given Xia Ruya an extra five percent of the Wen Corporation’s shares.

In this lifetime, Xia Ruya bore a strong hatred and resentment towards the Wen Family. Hence, Old Mr. Wen would definitely not give her any portion of the Wen Corporation’s shares.

Old Mr. Wen sighed and said, “You and Ruya are both great children, but I didn’t expect that Ruya would turn out this way. Previously, I only took her cheap shots as an expression of her jealousy. I thought that she would one day wake up, especially since she’s so intelligent. Yet…”

Wen Xinya finally realized that Old Mr. Wen had been kind and magnanimous to Xia Ruya, only because she had grown up beside him. Hence, he had faith in her and only thought of her scheming tricks as little tantrums. Besides, Xia Ruya had been manipulating and instigating others to deal with Wen Xinya. Hence, Old Mr. Wen naturally did not know a thing about it and did not intervene. She was filled with a sudden mix of emotions. Does Grandpa have any idea that his negligence was what caused my life to be ruined in the previous lifetime?

Old Mr. Wen sighed and said, “Xinya, did you have something to do with Ruya’s current plight…”

He had always felt guilty towards Wen Xinya. Just like what she had said, he had always been magnanimous and tolerant towards Xia Ruya and doted on her. Hence, he had never interfered with Wen Xinya’s retaliation against Xia Ruya. Of course… he also knew that he could not intervene, for Wen Xinya was authoritative and assertive like the Mo Family members.

Wen Xinya was suddenly overwhelmed with frustration. She interrupted. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ve always stayed in my own lane, and I only ever take revenge where it’s due. If Xia Ruya doesn’t provoke me, I definitely won’t continue to drive her into a corner.”

She sneered in her head. I’ve used two lifetimes to prove my point. Even if there were another lifetime, Xia Ruya wouldn’t stop resenting her. She was merely patronizing Old Mr. Wen.

Old Mr. Wen nodded and calmly changed the subject. “What happened lately? How has your revision been going? Were you affected?”

Wen Xinya smiled and answered, “My revision has been going well, and I definitely wouldn’t let this nonsense affect me.”

Old Mr. Wen smiled in satisfaction and asked, “Which university do you plan to go to?”

That was his main concern.

Wen Xinya answered, “The school of design of Capital University. I plan to study fashion and jewelry design.”

Greatly taken aback, Old Mr. Wen said, “I thought that you would major in jewelry design. It turns out you’re interested in fashion design as well.”

He was glad to see that his outstanding granddaughter had such great plans. Hence, he was not worried that she could not make it into university. He knew that her mother used to have a great flair for jewelry design. He did not expect that she would be interested in fashion design too.”

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “I’m very interested in jewelry design too. Although it’s just an elective, I’ll be attentive when it comes to studying it.”

Old Mr. Wen was not surprised to hear that.
