Chapter 1052: Coming Clean with Grandpa
Wen Xinya barely slept that night as she spent it giving Si Yiyan a head massage . She dared not relax at all . In the end, her fingers were so sore and stiff that she did not want to move at all . Her arms had turned numb too . She could not put into words the discomfort that she felt in her legs because of Si Yiyan’s head resting on her lap .
When daybreak arrived, Wen Xinya caved in to the fatigue and laid on top of Si Yiyan before dozing off .
The last thing that was on her mind before she fell asleep was—”I can’t even go a night without sleeping . How does Si Yiyan manage sleeping half an hour a day?”
After sleeping for less than two hours, Wen Xinya struggled to get out of bed and made some mulberry honey for Si Yiyan . She did that despite suffering from a major headache, simply because she was extremely concerned about his insomnia .
The mulberry honey recipe originated from the Han Dynasty and passed through generations . It was the best remedy for soothing one’s senses . In Traditional Chinese Medicine theories, it was believed that insomnia was caused by kidney issues . The function of the kidney was to aid in the growth of bone marrow while the marrow was closely related to the brain . Hence, insomnia was frequently treated by nourishing the kidney .
It was believed that black-colored foods would help with nourishing the kidney, and mulberry happened to be black . The effects were obvious too .
She hoped that the mulberry honey could help cure Si Yiyan’s insomnia .
Wen Xinya called Du Ruo again and requested for her to concoct some aromatherapy incense that would help with inducing sleep . Du Ruo had previously studied aromatherapy, which was believed by the ancient people to offer great benefits for the spleen and overall health and wellness . Hence, she developed a strong interest in it and began researching more about aromatherapy .
Reminded of some brain-nourishing medicinal recipes, Wen Xinya decided to make some for Si Yiyan to nourish his body .
However, she decided to take her time .
She returned to the Wen Family home to see that Old Mr . Wen was tending to the pot of orchids that she had given him . Upon sigh of her, he said, “You’re back . From now on, don’t wander off alone at night . It’s dangerous for a girl like you to be out there alone at such a late hour . ”
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Grandpa, I know . It was an emergency last night . ”
Old Mr . Wen decided not to continue nagging about it . After all, she was old and sensible enough to handle her own private life .
Staring at the orchids in front of her, Wen Xinya said smilingly, “Grandpa, you’re indeed really talented in tending to orchids . This pot of orchids has become so beautiful under your care . ”
She had discarded the pot of withered orchids in Old Mr . Wen’s office and bought a new pot for him which she had carefully selected .
Old Mr . Wen smiled smugly and said, “I wouldn’t dare to brag about anything else, but I dare say that no one can compare to me when it comes to taking care of plants, not even your Grampy . I managed to impress your Grampy all because of my impeccable skills . The two of us forged a strong friendship ever since . ”
Old Mr . Wen was emotional .
The Wen Family’s ancestors were all well-known scholars . However, Old Mr . Wen paled in comparison to them and hence, had no choice but to go to sea to do business . After the Wen Family established a firm foothold in Capital city, Old Mr . Wen began trying to improve the Wen Family’s reputation by trying to give others the impression that the Wen Family was a scholarly family . Reason being, he did not want others to think that they were nouveau riche .
She merely thought that her grandfathers had become friends because of the fact that they were both scholars .

After chatting with Old Mr . Wen for a while, Wen Xinya said smilingly, “I’ve postponed my music, chess, and painting lessons because of my examinations . Now that the final examinations are over, I plan to resume the lessons and move back to Grampy’s home to catch up . Of course… I also want to spend some time with Grampy . ”
She had decided to move back to the Mo Family home after her summer break a long time ago .
It was partly because Old Mr . Mo was old in his years and was living all alone by himself . Hence, she wanted to spend more time with him and show him her filial piety .
On the other hand, the trip to Russia had also made her realize that she and Si Yiyan were worlds apart . Hence, she wanted to learn as much as she could from Old Mr . Mo .
Of course, she was rather worried about Si Yiyan’s insomnia . Since Old Mr . Mo knew about her relationship with Si Yiyan, she could take care of Si Yiyan easily without worrying about anything else .
Of course, it was also because Old Mr . Du had already begun treating Si Yiyan and hence, she wanted to accompany him while he was receiving treatment .
Old Mr . Wen paused in his actions and said, “You’re not proud or arrogant despite having passed your final examinations with flying colors . Neither have you started slacking . I’m very happy about that . Besides… you’re your Grampy’s only kin . He has always been introverted and aloof . It’s good for you to spend more time with him . ”
However, he was still feeling a little disappointed because Wen Xinya would always spend her holidays in the Mo Family home .
However, he naturally wouldn’t stop Wen Xinya since she had managed to become so outstanding all thanks to the education she received from Old Mr . Mo . Besides, he felt indebted to Old Mr . Mo because of Mo Yunyao’s death . Hence, he hoped that he could make it up to Old Mr . Mo through Wen Xinya .

Wen Xinya held onto Old Mr . Wen’s arm and said, “Thank you, Grandpa!”
Seeing her affectionate behavior, Old Mr . Wen smiled and asked, “When do you plan to move there?”
Wen Xinya said, “I’ll go tomorrow . Grampy has arranged for me to learn about history and conspiracy theories . It’s a rare opportunity; I’ve always lacked flair in these subjects . Hence, I plan to learn more . ”
Old Mr . Wen nodded and expressed assent . “China has a rich history of 5000 years, which is our cultural treasure . By studying history, we can learn about how wise our predecessors are and develop our own wit, wisdom, and ingenuity . It’s good to possess these traits that you can apply in any domain . It’s rare that Old Mr . Mo would offer to teach you . You ought to learn more . ”
Wen Xinya had always been enthusiastic about learning and Old Mr . Mo was willing to teach her too . Hence, he was extremely pleased about that .
Wen Xinya nodded solemnly and said, “Grandpa, I understand . ”
Old Mr . Wen continued, “Xinya, you’re a good child . ”
After living as Zhang Xiaolan for fifteen years, she returned to the Wen Family home and had a fresh start in life . She managed to secure a footing in the Wen Family . Although everyone felt that he was just defending Wen Xinya, he knew that she had managed to come thus far all because of her hard work and abilities .
Xia Ruya, who had returned to square one after being Wen Ruya for fifteen years, slowly led herself astray and onto the path of ruin . Perhaps, outsiders may think that Xia Ruya had plunged from Heaven to Hell because of the fact that she had become the Xia Family’s illegitimate daughter, but Old Mr . Wen was well aware that Xia Ruya had lost to Wen Xinya right from the start .

Wen Xinya obviously understood Old Mr . Wen’s emotions . In her previous lifetime, she had learned how to observe the situation and act accordingly because of how cold Old Mr . Wen was towards her . No one understood Old Mr . Wen better than she did in this lifetime .
“Grandpa, I still remember the day that you brought me home together with Butler Yu . I was standing in the opulent living room and telling myself, ‘Wen Xinya, one fine day, you’ll become a prestigious heiress who’s fit enough to live here’ . I’ve never forgotten that . ”
Yeah! She had never forgotten how it felt to have her efforts go unrecognized in her previous lifetime . It even resulted in her tragic death . In this lifetime, she managed to get to where she was after receiving some help from Old Mr . Mo .
Old Mr . Wen was at a sudden loss for words . He nodded continuously and exclaimed, “Great! Great! Great!”
