Chapter 1037: The Mo Family’s Character
Old Mr . Wen was having a game of chess with the butler in the Wen Family home .
The orange and charcoal gray glass chess pieces faced each other at both ends of the Chu River and Han boundary .
Old Mr . Wen focused on the chessboard while fiddling with the jade Qilin figurine in his hand, his glassy eyes full of menace .
Butler Yu, who usually held a high position in the Wen Family and was polite, rule-abiding and respectful, seemed to have suddenly become a stern and shrewd expert when playing chess with Old Mr . Wen .
Hanging his head low, Old Mr . Wen asked, “Why do you think Xinya suddenly joined the Wen Corporation’s board meeting as a shareholder?”
He began to find it harder and harder to understand his granddaughter . Ever since she returned from Russia, he felt that she had become more domineering and murderous . She was no longer just confident, and he would probably be unable to tell what she was thinking unless she revealed them herself .
Butler Yu said, “Missy probably has her own reasons for doing that . We’ll find out once the board meeting is over, won’t we?”
Actually, he was rather curious about Wen Xinya’s purpose in joining the board meeting too .
Old Mr . Wen said, “Those shareholders are smart and not to be trifled with . It’s Xinya’s first time joining the board meeting . I’m worried that they’ll give her a hard time . That will affect her position in the Wen Corporation greatly . ”
Although Wen Xinya had appeared during the Ai Shang product launch, the Wen Corporation’s shareholders might not give her any face . If her first meeting didn’t go well, it would be difficult for her to command their respect and secure her footing in the Wen Corporation .
Besides, there was still Wen Haowen, who definitely wouldn’t allow Wen Xinya to steal the limelight . His greatest worry was that Wen Haowen would use his position as CEO to make things difficult for Wen Xinya .
Wen Xinya’s actions were rather risky .
Butler Yu smiled and said, “Missy has always been sensible and she acts appropriately too . Since she’s joined the board meeting, she definitely knows what to do . ”
He had never belittled Wen Xinya before . Although she was boorish and uncouth when Old Mr . Wen picked her up from an alley in the slums three years ago, he could see the pride, menace, and confidence in her eyes . He knew that she would definitely become outstanding if she was nurtured well .
As a bystander, Butler Yu watched as the once elegant and noble Xia Ruya led herself astray while Wen Xinya gradually transformed from an uncouth and awful hooligan to a true heiress .
Xia Ruya paled in comparison to her .
Old Mr . Wen frowned without uttering a single word .
Butler Yu chuckled and said, “You’ve already called the shareholders whom we’re closer to previously . Just leave the rest to Missy . I’m sure she can handle it . ”
He sounded firm and confident .

Wen Xinya was ambitious and full of vigor . Even if she was stuck in an unfavorable predicament, she wouldn’t be in too bad of a state .
Old Mr . Wen looked up at him and said, “You’re still as confident in her as usual . ”
When Old Mr . Wen first found Wen Xinya, he was extremely thrilled about it even though she grew up in a village . However, he did not expect that she would have such an awful past . He then began to hesitate because he would rather have an ordinary and mediocre granddaughter than a disgraceful one .
But Butler Yu had influenced him to bring her home .
Butler Yu remained silent while smiling .
Feeling a little emotional, Old Mr . Wen said, “I remember you said that Xinya was uncouth and disgraceful but still proud and confident . You said that she possesses the Mo Family’s character and had room for nurturing and improvement . ”
He began to feel a little guilty for failing to be as brave as Butler Yu . Although he had heeded Butler Yu’s advice and brought Wen Xinya home, he did not actually put in the effort to teach and take her in hand wholeheartedly .
He did not manage to see through Wen Xinya’s appearance and take a good look at her nature . Instead, he was blinded by her poor manners and boorish exterior . He was also preoccupied with wondering if she was a suitable candidate for the Wen Family’s heiress and the Wen Corporation’s successor . He was stuck in a dilemma and could not choose between blood ties and the effort that he had put into teaching Xia Ruya and caring for her for more than a decade .
Fortunately, Old Mr . Mo was there to take Wen Xinya in hand . Otherwise, he dared not imagine what his only flesh and blood would become .

Hence, he was extremely grateful to Old Mr . Mo .
Butler Yu said smilingly, “It’s been so many years . I’m definitely better at judging people than you are . ”
Affinity mattered a lot when it came to forging ties with others . He had never once felt that Xia Ruya belonged to the Mo Family, unlike Wen Xinya, whom he found to resemble Mo Yunyao . Hence, he suddenly deduced that she would definitely make outstanding achievements in the future and so, decided to persuade Old Mr . Wen to bring her home . He also did not wish to see Mo Yunyao’s daughter continue to lead such a tough life .
Fortunately, Old Mr . Wen gave in easily because of the guilt he felt towards Mo Yunyao .
Old Mr . Wen exclaimed, “Yeah! It’s been so many years, and you’ve always been better at judging people . Xinya has been a good child . ”
Throughout the past few years, he realized that Old Mrs . Wen had failed to live up to his expectations, though it was lucky that she did not know much other than taking care of her husband and son .
He had also pinned his hopes on his son, Wen Haowen, and even swallowed his pride to beg Mo Yunyao to marry him . Yet, he turned out to be a heartless jerk .
He had given Xia Ruya all his love and affection . Even after Wen Xinya returned to the Wen Family home, he was still rather biased towards Xia Ruya . Yet, she turned out to be conniving and vicious .
Although he had never liked Ning Shuqian, he thought that she was sensible enough to know her place . However, it turned out that she was truly greedy and wicked .

Meanwhile, Wen Xinya, the only person whom he despised back then, turned out to be completely different from what he had assumed .
Butler Yu said, “Fortunately, Missy was taught by Old Mr . Mo . ”
The Wen Family would only end up ruining her, and she would only reach her fullest potential in the Mo Family home .
Old Mr . Wen was not offended by Butler Yu’s words, for he thought the same . Wen Xinya was thoughtful and had inherited Mo Yunyao’s splendid genes and determination . The Wen Family would have ruined her since they did not treat her genuinely well .
The two of them proceeded to focus on the game of chess .
Old Mr . Wen exclaimed smilingly, “Checkmate!”
Butler Yu lamented . “I’ve lost . ”
Old Mr . Wen said smugly, “It’s been so many years . I may be worse than you when it comes to judging people, but you’ve never defeated me at chess . ”
