Chapter 103: 103
The door of the ward was pushed open, and Old Master Wen hurried inside .
“Grandpa!” Wen Xinya shouted lightly . Maybe it was because her state of mind had shifted significantly, but facing her grandfather who had loved and abandoned her in her past life, she was calmer than before .
“Xinya, you’re awake . Do you still feel unwell? Do you need the doctor to come over?” said Old Master Wen as he strode to her bedside and carefully scrutinized her . Seeing that her eyes were red and her face was pale, but otherwise looked fine, he felt the weight on his heart slowly being lifted .
“Grandpa, I’m fine . Don’t worry . ” Wen Xinya smiled to comfort him .
“Grandpa bought the shrimp lotus seed porridge that you like . You were unconscious for a whole night, you must be hungry . ” Old Master Wen’s gaze was a little complicated . This child had returned to the Wen Family for two months already . Even the food that she liked had to be relayed to him by Old Mo . It made his heart feel uncomfortable .
If he did not say it, she would not have felt so . However, once he said it, Wen Xinya felt like she was starving for a few lives . “I didn’t eat anything since last night . I’m so hungry . ”
At her words, Old Master Wen and Old Master Mo both felt pain in their hearts .
Old Master Wen quickly helped to open the thermos, pouring the porridge inside a bowl . “Grandpa bought a lot . Eat your fill . ”
The steaming hot porridge emitted steam, exciting Wen Xinya . She squealed in pleasant surprise . “It’s the shrimp lotus seed porridge from the Ninth-Heaven Club! It smells amazing . ”
“I specifically went in the morning to buy it . ” The Ninth-Heaven Club did not have a delivery service; thus, when he heard that Xinya’s favorite food was the shrimp lotus seed porridge from the Ninth-Heaven Club, he deliberately drove down to buy it for her .
“Thank you, Grandpa!” Wen Xinya ate with gusto .
“Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch it from you . ” Old Master Mo handed her a napkin, wiping off the porridge that rubbed against her face .
Old Master Wen watched her, his words stuck in his throat .
Wen Xinya purposefully pretended like she did not see anything, burying her face in her food .
Old Master Wen sighed . “Xinya, why don’t you move back to the Wen Family! Your grandfather lives far from the city area, and it’s suitable for the old . But you’re a young person, transportation is not going to be convenient for you . ”

This time, when Wen Xinya was kidnapped, his soul was scared out of his body . Upon receiving the phone call from Old Mo, he hurried to the Mo Mansion . The police were guarding by the Mo Mansion, waiting for the ransom phone call to trace the location . However, after waiting for over two hours, the phone did not ring . He did not dare to think of what would happen to Xinya if the kidnappers were not interested in extorting money .
The apprehension stayed, and they waited for three hours . Old Mo finally received a phone call saying that Xinya was okay, that she was in the hospital . He and Old Mo then hurried down to the hospital . Seeing her pale face lying down on the hospital bed, her thin body covered in the white sheets, she looked as frail as a porcelain doll . His heart shook violently, feeling beyond sad .
After asking the doctor about her condition, he realized that she was nearly injected with drugs, causing her to suffer a traumatic experience . This, in turn, caused a reaction similar to withdrawal symptoms . The news broke his heart even further .
As he stayed by her side for the whole night, she lay quietly on the bed, as though her breathing had also become weaker . It was as though if blinked she would quietly slip away .
He was uneasy the entire night, asking the doctor to check on her once again in the morning . He only breathed a sigh of relief when the doctor said that she would regain her consciousness soon .
If it were not because of how the Wen Family treated her, she would not have gone to stay at Old Mo’s place . The rental car would not have exploited a loophole, and she would not have been kidnapped .
In any sense, the trauma this child had undergone was his responsibility as well .

Old Master Mo heard his words, eyes gleaming, but yet he stood silently at the side without saying a word .
Wen Xinya was slightly stunned . “Grandpa, this time was just an accident . I will be careful in future . Don’t you worry, I’m living well at Grampy’s . Nowadays, I’m learning the arts from Grampy . If I were to return to the Wen Family, it would be inconvenient for Grampy to guide my studies . ”
Old Master Wen frowned . “I heard from your Grampy that you’re learning well . For these things, you should just have a basic understanding and move on . After all, you’re not going to be someone who works for others . ”
Wen Xinya rebutted . “Grandpa, originally I had the same mindset of just acquiring some basic knowledge . However, when I got serious in my studies, I realized that every single thing has their own spirituality . Practicing the zither trains one’s nature, to be supple and strong, to be able to let go with ease . Playing chess allows one to practice seeing through schemes . Reading can train one’s spirit, to be clear-headed . Drawing can give one stability, to not be hot-headed . History, literature, and law refine one’s wisdom through the past and present . All these qualities I’m missing due to me wandering about outside for 15 years . No matter how good an actual education would be, I will still be labeled a disgrace . Only by being one with these qualities, I will be able to exude grace from within . This way, I will be able to shut people up . ”
Old Master Mo nodded in appreciation . This child was indeed intelligent .
“Xinya, you’re the heiress of the Wen Family . In the future, you will definitely inherit everything the Wen Family owns . You can have a simple grasp of these things; you do not need to study in such detail . Unless you’re looking to continue your Grampy’s legacy?”
Wen Xinya laughed . “Grandpa, I know my limits . Learning all these are only to nurture my personality, knowledge, self-restraint, temperament, and my inner being . These have nothing to do with being the heiress of the Wen Family . Unless you do not wish for the future heiress of the Wen Family to have a great personality, knowledge, self-restraint, temperament, and inner wellness?”

“Grandpa can’t beat you . How do you speak so much sense? In any case, the date is very close to your introduction banquet . At that time, you must move back . ” Old Master Wen said helplessly .
Old Master Mo said, “Though Xinya started a little late, she is intelligent . She is smart and hardworking . She will surpass the people her age in about three years . ”
Old Master Wen thought about his daughter-in-law and her sweet-tempered magnanimity that sprouted from within . He then thought of his only son . No matter how unwilling he was, he could not deny that Old Master Mo was better at guiding the next generation than he was . “In that case, learn well from your Grampy . ”
“Thank you, Grandpa!” Wen Xinya had already planned to ask Grandpa to prepare a personal chauffeur for her . So in that case, she could go to the Mo Mansion during the day to accompany and learn from Grampy, then return to the Wen Family at night . She did not wish to spend an entire day under the same roof as Ning Shuqian and Wen Yuya .
“However, please be careful in the future . Old Tao’s son has always been your father’s personal chauffeur, but your father did not like his slow and prudent personality . I personally have always thought that Old Tao’s son is honest and loyal . How about you let him be your personal chauffeur? Old Tao has been with me for many years, and by doing this, you will be giving his son a way to make a living . In the future, if you have any need to leave the house, just call him to bring you around . ” If only Old Master Wen knew that his actions on this day had allowed Wen Xinya to conveniently get to the Mo Mansion frequently, he would have badly regretted it .
This feeling was like her head touching the pillow when she was drowsy . It made her very happy . “Thank you so much, Grandpa!”
