Chapter 1707 - A Good Chat Between Grandfather-Granddaughter! (1/2)

The press conference progressed very smoothly. Grandpa was very skilled at handling the reporters and also very thorough in his arrangements. Never was there a moment when he lost control of the conference, unlike Wen Haowen’s earlier affair.

The reporters’ questions mostly centered on Grandpa’s earlier pronouncements. Some also expressed concerns about his health.

It was already 4 pm by the time the press conference ended. Grandpa looked rather fatigued.

Wen Xinya and Assistant Yang accompanied Grandpa back to the hospital, where the doctor examined him and assured them that his condition was still good. Only then did Wen Xinya heave a sigh of relief.

Old Mr. Wen laid in bed, looking very tired and somewhat haggard.

Wen Xinya sat by the bed peeling some fruit. Her heart was full of worries.

Grandpa’s public proclamation today that he was cutting all father-son ties with Wen Haowen—Grandpa himself was probably the one who felt the worst about this!

Her previous conjectures were founded. Wen Haowen was definitely involved in Grandpa’s fainting spell, which was why Grandpa would lay down all these edicts and announce them in such a major press conference the moment he awoke.

“Grandpa, Yang Ziyu’s child still doesn’t have a name. Won’t you give him one?” Wen Xinya broke the silence in the room.

Previously, Grandpa had felt rather conflicted over that kid as he was an illegitimate child and a dishonor to the family. But as he watched him grow day by day, Grandpa started to develop true feelings for that baby.

Old Mr. Wen sighed, his face still full of weariness. “Let’s call him Jinyu then! It means precious jade. Strict parents will raise a child as wonderful as a piece of precious jade, while overly-lax parents will only raise a child who is a disgrace.”

Jinyu. Precious Jade. It also indicated a person with high morals.

Wen Yuya smiled. “Wen Jinyu! This is a superb name. It sounds pleasing to the ear and has a good meaning behind it!”

Strict parents would raise a child as wonderful as a piece of precious jade, while overly-lax parents would only raise a child who was a disgrace!

It was a famous saying from “The Family Instructions of Master Yan”, a 26 chapter book by Chinese writer Yan Zhitui, detailing his philosophy and life-advice to his sons.

Grandpa was completely disheartened by how cold-blooded Wen Haowen was. As a result, he had named the baby Jinyu as a cautionary reminder.

Her own name “Xinya” had been given to her by her Grampy. It was a name that also expounded on the importance of good virtues.

Old Mr. Wen nodded in a somewhat disgruntled manner. “I plan to personally raise this child and forbid Wen Haowen from interacting with him. From now on, you will have to work harder for the Wen Corporation!”

First was Xia Ruya, and now this Wen Haowen. Old Mr. Wen’s heart ached tremendously whenever he thought of these two.

As a result, he planned to set aside everything else and focus on raising this child, to avoid repeating the same mistakes made with Xia Ruya and Wen Haowen.

Wen Xinya naturally understood his intentions. “Grandpa, don’t worry!”

She felt more at ease now that she knew Grandpa would have his own plans and arrangements for this child.

Wen Xinya fell silent as she observed how despondent her Grandpa was.

Old Mr. Wen patted her hand. “You don’t have to worry about me. I already arranged for all these long before I fainted. It’s just that my plans were slightly delayed by my coma. The Wen Family cannot afford to keep on a ruthless bastard like Wen Haowen.”

Old Mr. Wen could see how concerned his granddaughter was for him. Although he was indeed somewhat dispirited, he had already resigned himself to some matters and was no longer as stubborn as before.

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief. “Grandpa, no matter what happens, Jinyu and I will always be by your side.”

Gaining this new little life after losing Wen Haowen would bring a fresh new start to the Wen Family. After being discharged from the hospital, Grandpa would focus all his attentions on Jinyu and no longer be distracted by Wen Haowen.
