Chapter 1698 - Wave After Wave of Trouble (2/2)

Wen Haowen and Grandma wanted to bring the child back to the Wen Family, but she had already made prior arrangements with the hospital.

The doctor made the excuse that the child was premature and needed to remain at the hospital for further observation. Grandma and Wen Haowen were unhappy but didn’t insist for the sake of the baby’s health.

Old Mr. Wen felt assured when he saw her calm expression. He couldn’t help sighing. “Xinya, it has really been hard on you. It’s all because of that useless father of yours.”

He held extremely complex feelings toward the sudden appearance of this infant.

On one hand, this child carried the blood of the Wen Family. There was no way they could neglect him.

On the other hand, the birth of this child would cast doubts among the upper society and the media regarding Xinya’s status within the Wen Family. It was not beneficial to Xinya at all. After so many years, he naturally cared a lot for his granddaughter of his.

Wen Xinya replied, “Grandpa, don’t say such things anymore. The child is innocent. He is the Wen Family’s flesh and blood and we must do our part as his family, and try our best to give him a good upbringing.”

She truly felt that way.

This child was already very pitiful. He lost his mother the moment he was born. Although Wen Haowen seemed to be very concerned for this child, it was only because of the benefits that this child could bring him.

Old Mr. Wen was momentarily taken aback. He stared at his granddaughter’s earnest expression. “I have underestimated you.”

Xinya was a generous and kindhearted child.

Despite inheriting the Mo Family’s principles of clearly distinguishing between those who were kind to her and those who did her wrong, she still maintained her magnanimous character.

It was his life’s blessing to have a granddaughter like her.

Wen Xinya smiled before changing the topic. “The doctor said you can get up and walk a little. I will bring you over to visit the child in a while.”

She was well aware of what the arrival of this child meant.

This child would become the heir to the Wen Family’s business.

Her status as the Wen Family’s heir would cease to exist except in name.

But so what?

She already had her own life and her own career. She could continue living a fulfilling life even without the Wen Family.

Old Mr. Wen naturally agreed. “Let’s keep my waking up a secret for the time being!”

As of now, no one knew that he had regained consciousness.

With the doctor’s cooperation, Grandma had also been sent home every day that she came to visit.

As for Wen Haowen, he was immersed in the joys of fatherhood and couldn’t care less about his condition. He even hoped that Old Mr. Wen would die sooner.

Wen Xinya was puzzled. “Grandpa, do you have some other plans?”

Earlier, they had not announced the fact that Grandpa had woken up because his condition had yet to stabilize then. They were afraid the press might cause a disturbance and affect his recuperation.

Now that Grandpa’s condition had stabilized, his appearance would easily disperse the mad media speculation surrounding the Wen Corporation.

Old Mr. Wen answered mildly, “You will know in a few days’ time.”

There were some things he had to do.

He had to cut the Gordian knot and not hesitate or allow his resolve to weaken.

It was akin to a festering boil—one must burst it and squeeze all the pus out, before cutting off all the rotting flesh.
