As soon as Wen Xinya arrived at the Mo family, she was warmly greeted by Uncle Zhang, Aunt He and Aunt Jiang. After so many years, they were still as enthusiastic towards her as ever, and Wen Xinya respected them more and more.
She couldn't help but think of her previous life. Not long after she was taken back to the Wen family, she went to live at her grandfather's house for a while. Because of the harshness and disdain she showed towards several old servants, these old servants who had been with her grandfather for many years and were like relatives and friends eventually left the Mo family one by one, which led to her grandfather's miserable end.
A great scholar of his generation in the literary world, with high moral character and prestige, he taught countless students throughout his life and was respected and admired by people, but in the end he ended up like this. Whenever she woke up in the middle of the night, she couldn't help but cry with sadness. Even if she was reborn, she couldn't let it go, or even forgive herself.
But in this life, everything has changed.
Uncle Zhang's son opened a small company and made a good income. He wanted to bring him home to live with him a few years ago, but Uncle Zhang couldn't bear to leave his grandfather and her, so he finally rejected his son's request and let him stay.
Because He Ma and Jiang Ma are old and can't do anything else except cooking, they have always wanted to return to their hometown to retire. But under her persuasion, they gave up and were willing to stay and take care of grandpa.
Grandpa is accompanied by Uncle Zhang, Aunt He, and Aunt Jiang, so he is not too lonely. She is also relieved to have them taking care of him.
Grandpa, you will never live to see another life. You died miserably at home without anyone knowing.
Wen Xinya felt peaceful inside. She walked through the hall and came to the backyard. The sun was shining brightly outside. Wen Xinya looked towards her grandfather. In her pupils, the figure of her grandfather became only an illusory and unreal outline.
Her heart couldn't help but panic. She quickly closed her eyes and shook her brain. After a long while, she opened her eyes. Only then did her grandfather's figure become clear and bright little by little.
She ran over quickly, her voice still trembling: "Grandpa!"
Mr. Mo looked up at her, not missing the flash of panic on her face. He put down the scissors in his hand and asked softly, "What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?"
In the sunlight, the granddaughter's face looked pale and transparent, and seemed somewhat fragile and helpless.
Wen Xinya hugged her grandfather's arm. The real feeling made her heart gradually calm down. She smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just haven't seen grandpa for several days, so I miss him."
Wen Xinya raised her head and smiled at her grandfather. Her smile was brighter and more dazzling than the sun. As she smiled... the haze from her previous life, hidden deep in her heart, also dissipated little by little.
She thought that she should really let it go. It had been three years since her grandfather's death in his previous life. She had changed his fate, and now, with her care and nursing, his health was getting better and better. She believed that her grandfather would live to be a hundred years old. She would always be by his side, allowing him to live out his years in peace and enjoy his old age.
A trace of inquiry flashed across Mr. Mo's indifferent eyes: "You, kid, used to be quite steady, but now you are getting worse and worse."
Although he was saying words of reprimand, his expression inadvertently revealed doting. When Xinya first returned to the Wen family, she was very close to him, but this closeness was always accompanied by caution. But now, the child is close to him naturally.
but-
Mr. Mo's expression brightened up a little. Sometimes he would see guilt, sadness and other complicated emotions in Xinya's eyes. He was sure that this was not his illusion.
Wen Xinya said: "Grandpa, but you said that I am still young now, and young people should act like young people."
In the past, her grandfather disliked her for not being as active as young people, but now he dislikes her for being unstable. Being a granddaughter is actually not easy.
Seeing her talking back, Mr. Mo couldn't help but pat her on the head: "Then do you remember when I said that?"
She was fifteen years old before, and now she is twenty-one. In another year, she will graduate from her senior year and will soon enter the society. It is time for her to be mature.
Wen Xinya stiffened her neck and said awkwardly, "Grandpa, what you said is wrong. When I was fifteen, I was a young man. Now I'm twenty-one, am I not a young man anymore?"
So! She is still young, it doesn't matter if she is unstable.
Mr. Mo said helplessly: "You are right, I can't argue with you."
Grandpa Mo didn't really dislike his granddaughter for being unstable, it's just... Ever since Xinya followed Si Yiyan, Grandpa Mo always felt that Si Jiu had led his granddaughter astray, so he couldn't help but find fault with her.
In fact, Mr. Mo's mentality is that of being obsessed with his granddaughter. Ever since Xinya was adopted by the Wen family, he has been responsible for Xinya's education. His goal is to train Xinya to become a lady like his wife and daughter.
But later... Si Jiu appeared, and not only abducted his granddaughter early, but also participated in her education, making Mo Gong feel that the power that originally belonged to him was being criticized and threatened.
Wen Xinya laughed: "Grandpa, the owner of Boyaxuan personally sent me an invitation to attend this year's Qianjin Banquet. Tell me... should I attend?"
Ever since Wen Xinya was tricked by the owner of Boya Xuan at the Qianjin Banquet three years ago, the owner of Boya Xuan has shown some sense of propriety and has been living in peace with her over the past few years, without interfering with each other.
Mr. Mo said calmly, "Aren't you still going to participate in the International Jewelry Design Competition held by the Milan Expo Center? You still have the time to participate in these messy activities."
Old Master Mo has always been brooding over the fact that the owner of Boya Xuan took advantage of his granddaughter three years ago, so his attitude towards the owner of Boya Xuan has changed from being indifferent to him to being somewhat disgusted with him.
Wen Xinya pretended to be helpless and said, "But, outsiders all know that you and the owner of Boyaxuan are old acquaintances. Now that she has openly invited me, if I don't give her face, wouldn't it be a bit inhumane?"
The owner of Boya Xuan is of the same generation as my grandfather. She and my grandmother were once known as the "two most stunning beauties in the capital". Everyone knows that the Mo family and the owner of Boya Xuan have a friendship, although my grandfather has never admitted it.
But... she always felt that things were not that simple.
"You don't have to pay attention to these things." Grandpa Mo looked at his granddaughter, her eyes sparkling with gossip. How could he not know what she was thinking? She just wanted to take the opportunity to find out the past between him and the owner of Boya Xuan.
Actually, it was nothing. When he and Yun Yao were not together yet, she had confessed her love to him in person.
Later, three years after Yun Yao's death, she again expressed her feelings for him, but was rejected by him.
Wen Xinya was quite disappointed because she didn't get the answer she wanted.
