Chapter 383


Old Mr . Wen lied down on the hospital bed, appearing as pale as a sheet . He was put on the drip and there was a needle attached to his wrinkly hand . She could vaguely see the blood flowing through his veins .

It was as if he had aged ten years .

She had never seen her grandfather this haggard before, not even in her previous lifetime . It was as if all of his energy had been drained out of him, leaving behind nothing except a bag of skin and bones .

Wen Xinya teared up and sat beside him . She then held his hand gently and exclaimed, "Grandpa!"

Old Mr . Wen's palm was large and his fingers were wrinkly and dry like tree bark .

Old Mr . Wen moved his hand and gazed at Wen Xinya, who was looking at him with tears in her eyes . He was heartened to see that he still had a granddaughter to care for him, though his son was unfilial .

"I'm alright, don't worry," said Old Mr . Wen in a feeble voice . He then retracted his hand and patted hers .

Wen Xinya felt a huge sense of relief . "Grandpa, the doctor said that there's nothing wrong with your body now, but you'll have to be hospitalized for further observation for a few days .

She had no idea what Wen Haowen had said to Old Mr . Wen to make him so agitated and exasperated to the point of passing out . She had no choice but to try and comfort him .

Recalling the words that Wen Haowen had said to him, he lied down on the bed and his hands began to tremble . "Xinya… your father told me that the Wen Corporation belongs to him and that he's the rightful successor . He resents me for making you the potential successor and also detests you to the core . "

He did not plan to hide the truth from his granddaughter, for he was more determined than ever to keep the Wen Corporation away from Wen Haowen's reach . From now on… Wen Xinya would be the only successor .

Wen Xinya was not at all surprised . However, she did not expect that Wen Haowen would openly fall out with Old Mr . Wen . No wonder Grandpa was so infuriated, she thought . "My father is selfish and self-centered . He has never tried to hide his ambitions before . I believe you've already guessed it too, Grandpa . You're just carrying some hope for him . That's why you chose to turn a blind eye to it . "

Since her Grandfather was willing to speak to her openly, she ought to share her honest opinions with him too . It was the perfect time for her to say the words that she had been keeping inside .

Old Mr . Wen sighed and said, "You're right . I may be extremely disappointed in him, but he's still my son at the end of the day . How could I really give up on him? Actually, there are just a lot of facts that I'm aware of but refuse to admit . Yet, I ended up feeding his greed . I have failed to educate him well . I'm far worse than your maternal grandfather when it comes to educating children . "

Wen Xinya was at a sudden loss for words .

Seemingly having regained some of his vitality, Old Mr . Wen said, "If Haowen were really that capable and had what it takes, I'd let him go ahead and do whatever he wants . However, he's so incompetent and can't even tell right from wrong . He even has the heart to be so relentless and cruel towards his own flesh and blood . He's self-righteous and petty… In conclusion, he's simply a good for nothing . How could I let him take over the lifelong career that I painstakingly built?"


Wen Xinya looked at her grandfather's wrinkled and trembling hands . Feeling extremely aggrieved, she held his hand and said, "Grandpa, I know your greatest worry is Ning Shuqian . Ning Shuqian is so vicious and wicked . She has managed to play Father like a puppet . Given how greedy she is, the Wen Corporation will definitely land in her hands one day, should Father be in charge of it . "

Staring at her, Old Mr . Wen said, "You're right . This is indeed my greatest concern . It's also the reason why I've decided to make you my successor . "

He could accept it if his family were to go bankrupt . However, he could not accept letting his fruit of labor end up in someone else's pocket .

Staring at him earnestly, Wen Xinya said, "Grandpa, you should take good care of your health . Your health is of paramount importance . With you around, Ning Shuqian won't dare to act brazenly, regardless of how greedy she may be . "

No matter how much Ning Shuqian resented Wen Xinya, she had never dared to go overboard, for she was afraid of both Old Mr . Wen and Old Mr . Mo . Hence, nothing must happen to Old Mr . Wen . Otherwise, she would definitely be in a dangerous situation .

Old Mr . Wen gazed at her and recalled the time when he first brought her home . In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed . Yet, she had exceeded his expectations and proved herself to be extremely outstanding . "Xinya, do you resent your father?" he asked .

Wen Xinya stared at him in shock and bewilderment .

Old Mr . Wen looked at her and said, "After all, your mother passed away because of your father… and he's so cruel and cold towards you as well . Do you resent him for that?"

Wen Xinya hurriedly hid her emotions of puzzlement, but she could not hide her agony . She looked down and said softly, "I'd be lying if I said that I don't resent him . I may be upset about Mother's death, but because of the fact that he's my father, I can't berate him… However… " She took a deep breath and continued, "I've been feeling extremely indignant because he treats his adoptive daughter better than he treats me, his own flesh and blood . "

Although Old Mr . Wen could tell that she was stuck in a dilemma, he could not figure out if she resented Wen Haowen or not… It was almost impossible to tell .

Wen Xinya held her grandfather's gaze and looked into his bright eyes which were as clear as water . "I'm sorry, Grandpa . I can't tell you my innermost thoughts . I've already given up on my father, however . "

Old Mr . Wen was instantly overwhelmed with dejection again . "Forget it, I was forcing it . I was just hoping that you'd spare your father one day, on my account . "

He could no longer stop the inevitable battle between his overly ambitious son and his ruthless granddaughter . Hence, that was the only way he could help his son and prevent him from ending up in a pathetic plight .

Wen Xinya said, "Grandpa, you're reading too much into things . Although I've already given up on Father, I can't deny the fact that I'm his flesh and blood . Even if not for you, I ought to show him mercy on the account that he brought me into this world . "

Old Mr . Wen finally realized that he had belittled his granddaughter . She had taken after the members of the Mo Family and her character was much more like them, as compared to the Wen Family . She had her own set of principles that she would always adhere to .

Wen Xinya said softly, "Father is outside . Do you want to…"

Old Mr . Wen closed his eyes slowly and answered, "I'm tired . You may go out!"

He did not wish to see Wen Haowen .
