Chapter 639
Wen Xinya only returned to the Wen Family home at nine in the evening .
Upon sight of her, Mother Wang hurriedly rushed forward and said anxiously, “Missy, you’re finally home . Hurry and go take a look at Old Sir! After taking his breakfast, Old Sir has yet to eat anything until now . The door of his study is tightly shut and he refuses to open it . When I called the landline upstairs, he said that he doesn’t have the appetite to eat . ”
Old Mrs . Wen had left the house for her mahjong session after Xia Ruya arrived, and had yet to come home since then . Mother Wang did not wish to disturb Wen Xinya either because she knew that the latter was having lessons in school .
Wen Xinya frantically asked, “How’s Grandpa?”
She thought, Grandpa has had a great appetite for the past few days, why did he lose his appetite all of a sudden?
Mrs . Wang answered, “I don’t know the details . All I know is that Miss Xia came by in the morning and the two of them had a chat in the study . After Miss Xia left, Old Sir seemed to be in low spirits and I didn’t dare to disturb him either . ”
Mother Wang had a look of disdain on her face when she mentioned Xia Ruya . She felt angry for the Wen Family because of how Xia Ruya turned her back against them and tried to harm them . Old Mrs . Wen had also wept about it for a long while, and Old Mr . Wen had become much more haggard than before .
Wen Xinya was rather taken aback to hear that Xia Ruya had dropped by . “Mother Wang, don’t worry . I’ll go upstairs to take a look . ”
Wen Xinya realized that the servants of the Wen Family used to address Xia Ruya affectionately as “Miss Ruya” . Yet, they actually changed the way they addressed her and now addressed her simply and coldly as “Miss Xia” .
Mother Wang felt much more relieved .
Wen Xinya grabbed the bowl of meticulously prepared soup from Mother Wang’s hands and headed upstairs slowly .
She knocked twice but did not get an answer . She then leaned closer towards the door and exclaimed, “Grandpa, it’s me, Xinya!”
Soon, sounds of the door being unlocked could be heard and the door was opened .
Wen Xinya entered the study with a tray of food . Noticing that Old Mr . Wen seemed to be out of sorts, she broke the silence and said, “Grandpa, Mother Wang said that you haven’t eaten all day . You have to eat to get going . You’re already old in your years and yet, you’re still so willful . ”
She then scooped a bowl of piping hot meat porridge for Old Mr . Wen .
Old Mr . Wen said with a frown, “I don’t have much of an appetite . ”
Wen Xinya moved the bowl of porridge towards him and asked, “Grandpa, do you want me to feed you?”
Old Mr . Wen hurriedly gestured to indicate his refusal . He had no choice but to grab the bowl and take a few spoonfuls of porridge .
The pork porridge was bland and delectable . After taking two spoonfuls, Old Mr . Wen’s appetite improved and he continued to eat two more bowls to fill himself up .

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief .
Old Mr . Wen felt much better after eating some food . He then said, “I called Ruya and told her to come by today . I’ve transferred some of my assets to her . ”
Wen Xinya was slightly stunned, though she nodded slightly to show her nonchalance .
She could guess what Old Mr . Wen’s intentions were . Although Xia Ruya had taken things too far, the fact that they had lived together for twelve years could not be erased . Old Mr . Wen was showing her mercy because of that . Logically speaking, Xia Ruya was resentful towards the Wen Family and thus, he felt that it would be best to cut the Gordian knot as soon as possible .
“Well, I guess I’ve drawn a close to our affinity with her,” Old Mr . Wen said, his eyes glistening . He did not have any other intentions because he was an upright person . Yet, Xia Ruya failed to be upright . He could not help but shake his head at the thought of the words that she had said earlier on .
Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Miss Xia was raised by the Wen Family for twelve years . It’s only right for you to do so . ”
Things were much better compared to the previous lifetime where she heard about Old Mr . Wen’s will from Ning Yuya, one month after she returned to the Wen Family home . Back then, Old Mr . Wen bequeathed fifty percent of his bonds, two properties and fifty million yuan worth of jewelry to Xia Ruya, as well as five percent of the Wen Corporation’s shares .
Before she passed away, she found out that he had given Xia Ruya an extra five percent of the Wen Corporation’s shares .
In this lifetime, Xia Ruya bore a strong hatred and resentment towards the Wen Family . Hence, Old Mr . Wen would definitely not give her any portion of the Wen Corporation’s shares .

Old Mr . Wen sighed and said, “You and Ruya are both great children, but I didn’t expect that Ruya would turn out this way . Previously, I only took her cheap shots as an expression of her jealousy . I thought that she would one day wake up, especially since she’s so intelligent . Yet…”
Wen Xinya finally realized that Old Mr . Wen had been kind and magnanimous to Xia Ruya, only because she had grown up beside him . Hence, he had faith in her and only thought of her scheming tricks as little tantrums . Besides, Xia Ruya had been manipulating and instigating others to deal with Wen Xinya . Hence, Old Mr . Wen naturally did not know a thing about it and did not intervene . She was filled with a sudden mix of emotions . Does Grandpa have any idea that his negligence was what caused my life to be ruined in the previous lifetime?
Old Mr . Wen sighed and said, “Xinya, did you have something to do with Ruya’s current plight…”
He had always felt guilty towards Wen Xinya . Just like what she had said, he had always been magnanimous and tolerant towards Xia Ruya and doted on her . Hence, he had never interfered with Wen Xinya’s retaliation against Xia Ruya . Of course… he also knew that he could not intervene, for Wen Xinya was authoritative and assertive like the Mo Family members .
Wen Xinya was suddenly overwhelmed with frustration . She interrupted . “Grandpa, don’t worry . I’ve always stayed in my own lane, and I only ever take revenge where it’s due . If Xia Ruya doesn’t provoke me, I definitely won’t continue to drive her into a corner . ”
She sneered in her head . I’ve used two lifetimes to prove my point . Even if there were another lifetime, Xia Ruya wouldn’t stop resenting her . She was merely patronizing Old Mr . Wen .
Old Mr . Wen nodded and calmly changed the subject . “What happened lately? How has your revision been going? Were you affected?”
Wen Xinya smiled and answered, “My revision has been going well, and I definitely wouldn’t let this nonsense affect me . ”
Old Mr . Wen smiled in satisfaction and asked, “Which university do you plan to go to?”

That was his main concern .
Wen Xinya answered, “The school of design of Capital University . I plan to study fashion and jewelry design . ”
Greatly taken aback, Old Mr . Wen said, “I thought that you would major in jewelry design . It turns out you’re interested in fashion design as well . ”
He was glad to see that his outstanding granddaughter had such great plans . Hence, he was not worried that she could not make it into university . He knew that her mother used to have a great flair for jewelry design . He did not expect that she would be interested in fashion design too . ”
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “I’m very interested in jewelry design too . Although it’s just an elective, I’ll be attentive when it comes to studying it . ”
Old Mr . Wen was not surprised to hear that .
