Chapter 1053 - The Art of Conspiracy Is Not Ethical! (1/2)

On the following morning, Wen Xinya moved to the Mo Family home with her luggage.

Uncle Zhang, Mother He, and Mother Jiang were thrilled to hear that she would be moving into the Mo Family home.

Wen Xinya instinctively looked around and asked, “Where’s Grampy? Why don’t I see him?”

At this timing, Old Mr. Mo would usually be sitting by the coffee table drinking some tea or fiddling with the chessboard.

Uncle Zhang smiled and said, “Old Zhong is in the study with Old Mr. Mo.”

Old Mr. Mo had been treasuring the paintings and calligraphy pieces that Wen Xinya gave him. He would take them out and scrutinize them in awe every day. He would even show off to his friends. Recently, many of his friends, including Old Mr. Zhong, had shown their admiration for the pieces.

In high spirits, Wen Xinya asked, “Is Grandpa Zhong here? I’ll go upstairs and take a look.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she headed upstairs to see Old Mr. Zhong whom she had not met in a long time.

Wen Xinya arrived at the study to see that the door was slightly ajar. She subconsciously peeked inside through the gap…

“La.s.s, you’re always so stealthy when you’re here. Gentlemen should not be sneaky. Where have your manners gone?” Old Mr. Mo chided sternly, though he still sounded affectionate.

Wen Xinya stuck her tongue out, thinking to herself that she might as well open the door of the study since she had already been exposed. She retorted. “You can’t say that, Grampy. I was just worried that I’d disturb you.”

Old Mr. Mo glanced at Old Mr. Zhong resignedly. “Look, look, she’s learned to become so sharp-tongued.”

Wen Xinya frantically smiled at Old Mr. Zhong and said, “h.e.l.lo, Grandpa Zhong!”

Old Mr. Zhong smiled and nodded at Wen Xinya before turning to look at Old Mr. Mo. “You have such a pretty, sensible and well-mannered granddaughter. Yet, you’re still so discontented. You really don’t know how blessed you are.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he winked at Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya responded with a huge grin.

Old Mr. Mo gazed at his granddaughter, feeling amused that she had colluded with Old Mr. Zhong.

Old Mr. Zhong said bitterly, “Do you know that we haven’t had a female heir for three generations? I’m so envious of you for having such an obedient and thoughtful granddaughter.”

He was indeed telling the truth. Although all of the Zhong Family’s offspring were rather outstanding, like Zhong Rufeng, daughters were still more favorable at the end of the day.

Old Mr. Mo glanced at Wen Xinya, who appeared smug after receiving a compliment. He said calmly, “If you keep praising her, she’s going to become so arrogant.”

Old Mr. Zhong burst into laughter.

Wen Xinya insisted. “Grampy, you shouldn’t criticize your granddaughter like that.”

Old Mr. Mo glared at her and chastised. “Rude girl. Don’t you see that your Grandpa Zhong is still here.”

Wen Xinya pouted and said indignantly, “Grandpa Zhong is not an outsider.”

Pleased with her words, Old Mr. Zhong laughed out loud and remarked, “I like how candid Xinya is. It’s rare for people your age to be so genuine.”

Wen Xinya secretly grimaced at Old Mr. Mo smugly after seeing that she had a supporter.
