Chapter 389: 389
Although Old Mr . Wen’s condition had already stabilized, Wen Xinya was still rather worried about him . Hence, she stayed by his side in the hospital ward . “Grandpa, let me peel an apple for you! The doctor said that you should eat more fruits . ”
Old Mr . Wen agreed with a nod . “Sure!”
Wen Xinya picked up the fruit knife and began peeling a big red apple .
Old Mr . Wen recalled the events of that night while watching Wen Xinya peel the apple .
Old Mr . Wen was rather glad that Wen Haowen had remembered his favorite food, dumplings and soy milk .
The nurse then entered the ward to take Old Mr . Wen’s temperature . Upon sight of the dumplings and soy milk on the table, she threw them into the rubbish bin without hesitation . “Old Mr . Wen, you may not have any major issues with your health, but you ought to stick to bland and healthy foods for now, such as porridge and boiled vegetables . Eat more fruits . The doctor has already informed your family of the appropriate diet you should follow . ”
Wen Xinya remembered that Old Mr . Wen had to stick to a healthy diet . Yet, his son had neglected that fact because he was too preoccupied with being a filial son .
Old Mr . Wen said in a shaky voice, “Lawyer Luo came by a few days ago to visit me . Your father saw him . ”
Wen Xinya paused for a while before continuing to peel the apple .
Old Mr . Wen said solemnly, “He asked Secretary Cao about my will, and if I made any changes to it . ”
I’m not even dead yet and he’s already so concerned about my will . I should have seen through him long ago .
Wen Xinya stopped peeling the apple . She had no idea what to say about Wen Haowen who had completely destroyed all the hope that Old Mr . Wen had for him . She should be feeling happy about it since that would mean that she would be the only successor of Wen Corporation . However, she could not help but feel upset at the sight of how disappointed her grandfather was .
Old Mr . Wen continued, “He actually doesn’t know that I already changed the terms on my will the day after your homecoming party . Even Secretary Cao didn’t know about this . ”
Wen Haowen’s behavior during the homecoming party had disappointed Old Mr . Wen greatly . However, he was heartened to see how calm Wen Xinya acted . He knew that she decided not to flare up because she didn’t want to cause any extra trouble . Hence, he decided to change the terms of his will and transfer five percent of his shares to Wen Xinya .
“Grandpa… ” Wen Xinya murmured in shock .
Old Mr . Wen said with a look of determination in his eyes, “Even if I’m dead, the Wen Corporation will never be in his hands . Given how incompetent he is, he’ll never be able to stand up to those shareholders, let alone subdue them . When I’m dead… he’ll become prey to those predators . ”
Holding Old Mr . Wen’s hand, Wen Xinya said, “Grandpa, you’ll definitely enjoy longevity . ”

Old Mr . Wen grabbed her hand and said, “Although I was in great awe of you when you first reunited with us, I thought that you were too cold and aloof . After all, you didn’t grow up in the Wen Family and I didn’t know how much you’d actually care about us . Hence, I was rather doubtful towards you . ”
Wen Xinya was well aware of the doubts that Old Mr . Wen had towards her, especially when she was dealing with the Xiao Family . Although she managed to convince him with some words, it was only temporary .
Old Mr . Wen said profoundly, “Now that I think about it, I only got to see your father’s and Ning Shuqian’s true colors after you returned to the family . You’ve also seen through them after all that they have done to you . Hence, you’ve already drawn a line between you and them right from the start . You’re a good child . You’ve got greater foresight and judgment than I do . ”
“Grandpa…” Wen Xinya teared up . This was the real affirmation that she wanted to receive from him .
Old Mr . Wen’s eyes began to brighten and he held her hand benevolently . “Child, just forget about the things that I said to you a few days ago! I believe you have the ability to make the right decisions . ”
Wen Haowen knew that he was referring to Wen Haowen . She nodded with tears in her eyes and said, “Grandpa, don’t worry . I won’t let you down . ”
Just like what Si Yiyan said, Old Mr . Wen had really let it go .
Old Mr . Wen patted her hand and said, “It’s getting late, go back and get some rest! I’ll be discharged tomorrow morning . You guys don’t have to keep coming to the hospital every day . ”

He had seen how much effort his family had put in to take care of him . Old Mrs . Wen hated staying up late . Hence, she would take care of him in the day while Wen Xinya took over at night .
Wen Xinya said, “How can that do? The doctor said that you’ll have to be hospitalized for a few more days . ”
“The doctor said that there are no major problems with my health . Besides, it’d be easier for me to receive care at home since we have a family doctor . ”
Wen Xinya said coaxingly, “Grandpa, be good . I’ll ask the doctor again tomorrow before deciding . ”
Old Mr . Wen waved and said, “Alright, we’ll talk again tomorrow then . Hurry and go back . It’s almost midnight . ”
Wen Xinya tucked him beneath the blanket and said, “I’ll leave after you fall asleep . ”
Old Mr . Wen had no choice but to close his eyes and go to bed .
Twenty minutes later, Wen Xinya discovered that his breathing had become much more stable . She stood up quietly and left the ward . She then closed the door carefully .

Wen Xinya took her time to leave the hospital . As soon as she stepped foot outside, she shivered uncontrollably because of the chilly temperature . She then grabbed her jacket tightly and looked up to see that Si Yiyan’s car had been pulled over by the roadside . He was leaning against the door and waiting for her .
Wen Xinya was extremely touched, because he would wait for her outside the hospital every single day, regardless of how late it was . Unable to contain her excitement, she hurriedly strode towards him .
To her astonishment, a sudden figure leaped towards Wen Xinya and yelled in a shrilling voice, “Wen Xinya, you’re going to die a horrible death!”
“Shen Mengting!” Wen Xinya froze in shock at the sight of the sharp and shiny knife in her hand, so glaring it could almost blind her .
Although everything was taking place rapidly, it seemed to be happening in slow motion before her . It was as if she could not dodge regardless of how hard she tried .
Her pupils constricted rapidly and she could not help but be reminded of the time when Shen Mengting stabbed Ning Shuqian in the gut . However… Shen Mengting was merely using a pair of scissors back then and the injury was not fatal . Yet, it was a sharp knife this time . If she were to get stabbed, the consequences would be dire .
“Xinya, watch out!”
