Chapter 579: 579
Wen Xinya first headed to the cemetery to offer prayers to her late mother before proceeding to the bank together with Old Mr . Mo .
When their car pulled over at the entrance of the bank, they were suddenly greeted with numerous cameras flashing in their faces . A bunch of reporters swarmed towards them, though they kept a distance away, for fear of offending the formidable Old Mr . Mo .
Wen Xinya alighted from the car before opening the door for Old Mr . Mo and helping him out of the car .
Old Mr . Mo ignored the continuous questions from the reporters and brought Wen Xinya into the living room .
They arrived at the VIP guest room to see that everyone that had to be there was already present .
Apart from the top lawyers from Extraordinary Law Firm, there were also several other authoritative members from the notary public . Of course, there were also several other respectable and reputable members of society who were there to witness the transfer .
Old Mr . Zhong and Old Mr . Du were present as well . There were also those whom she had only heard of but never met in the past .
The reporters seemed to have gotten a great shock and started snapping photos of them frantically . Reason being, all of the people present were reputable elders who rarely showed their faces .
Old Mr . Mo said slowly, “Thank you, everyone, for taking the time out of your busy schedules to witness my granddaughter, Wen Xinya, inheriting my assets . ”
Zhong Yifeng said, “Haha! Old Mo, you’re being too formal . We’ve known each other for years . There’s no need to talk about these . ”
Du Shinan chimed in . “Old Zhong is right . Stop it with that literary jargon . It makes my head hurt . We’ll be here whenever you need us . ”
Everyone joined in the chatter and the atmosphere became lively .
The bank personnel then unlocked a few VIP vaults in the room while the security officers stopped the reporters from entering or snapping any photos .
Ancient books, antiques, calligraphy, jade pieces, gold and silver jewelry, gems, rare wood, and brocade… were all laid out one by one . The jewelry appraiser then authenticated the items and recorded their value .
The members of the notary public then snapped photos of the certificate of authentication and saved them .
The lawyer then allowed Wen Xinya to sign the agreement of transfer .
The entire process was smooth and successful .
Actually, Old Mr . Mo had already hired a professional authenticator to authenticate the items . What he did today was merely a formal process .
At about ten o’clock in the morning, they counted the items, excluding the ancient books and wood which were invaluable gems . They then tabulated the values, which amounted to a total of 1 . 5 billion yuan .
Old Mr . Mo then bequeathed some of his monetary assets to her .
The total value of the items that Old Mr . Mo had given her amounted to more than 500 million yuan .
At about eleven o’clock, the process of the transfer was completed .
The lawyers then read Mo Yunyao’s will and explained clearly all of the terms listed, after which they then read out the terms of the asset transfer agreement . At last, the rest of the witnesses signed their names on the agreement and stamped their thumbprints .

After the agreements were signed, the precious items and jewelry all belonged to her .
Wen Xinya stared at her red-ink-stained thumb, feeling as if it was all too surreal .
Old Mr . Mo gazed at Wen Xinya with a complicated mix of emotions, though he had high hopes for her . “Xinya… I hope that I can really push you to success . ”
Wen Xinya teared up instantly and stared at Old Mr . Mo firmly . “Grampy, I definitely won’t let you down or disappoint you . ”
“Obedient child!” Old Mr . Mo walked towards Wen Xinya slowly and hugged her .
“Grampy, thank you!” Wen Xinya’s teardrops rolled down her cheeks .
Although it was just some comforting words, everyone was touched, including the reporters who had been snapping away .
At last, the authoritative members of the notary public read the two agreements out loud .
Telling the media about it was akin to telling the entire world .
At that moment, the reporters were flabbergasted and broke out into a commotion before snapping away in a frenzy .
After the end of the ceremony, they exited the bank and the reporters chased after Old Mr . Mo and Wen Xinya .

“Old Mr . Mo, these assets were left behind by the Zhou Family, Ren Family, and Mo Family . May I ask why you’ve decided to bequeath them to your granddaughter on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony?”
Old Mr . Mo stopped in his tracks and said calmly, “I hope my granddaughter, Wen Xinya, will have a glorious day today which is also a major milestone in her life . ”
“Old Mr . Mo, your granddaughter has just turned legal today and yet, you’ve already transferred so many assets to her . Do you really feel safe about doing that?”
Old Mr . Mo shifted his gaze onto Wen Xinya and said, “I believe that my granddaughter, whom I have nurtured, will count her blessings and know how fortunate she is . I believe she won’t forget her morals and will carve out a path for herself . ”
He intentionally emphasized on the fact that he had educated and nurtured Wen Xinya himself… Clearly, he did not want anyone to use Wen Xinya’s past against her . Wen Xinya had already turned over a new leaf and was no longer who she used to be .
“Old Mr . Mo, I heard that your granddaughter has been learning from you ever since she reunited with the Wen Family . May I ask if she’s already become a bona fide socialite?”
Old Mr . Mo answered with a sullen expression, “I won’t teach her to become a demure socialite, I’ll only teach her to become a virtuous and upright girl . ”
“What does that mean, exactly? Which virtues are you referring to?”
“They are courage, justice, humanity, temperance, transcendence, and wisdom!”
“Old Mr . Mo, what’s your opinion on your granddaughter, Wen Xinya’s scandal?”
“My granddaughter is a caterpillar who has broken out of her cocoon and evolved into a beautiful butterfly . She has never denied that she had a shameful past . Hence, I don’t have any comments about it . ”

Old Mr . Mo had always been stern and austere when answering the reporters, thus giving them the chills and causing them to break out into cold sweat in fear . They then questioned Wen Xinya instead .
“Miss Wen, how do you feel about receiving so many assets all of a sudden?”
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Honestly, it’s like a gem that has fallen from the sky and hit me on the head . I feel giddy because I can’t believe it’s real . ”
Her answer made everyone burst into laughter . “How do you plan to use the assets then?”
“I won’t touch them until I have to . These assets are an accumulation of the belongings from the Zhou Family, Ren Family, and Mo Family . I hope to pass them on to my daughter as her dowry . ”
“Could you tell us about the arrangements for your coming-of-age ceremony?”
“I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t . It’s already 11:30 AM now and I’ve booked an appointment at Floral Lingo Pavilion for 1 PM . I have to be at Shande Mansion at 5 PM . I have a very tight schedule today . ”
The reporters did not pester her any further, though they found it a pity .
