Chapter 1771 - Understand Completely (2/2)

Wen Xinya felt a little weird about it, as she did not expect Grandpa’s attitude towards Xia Ruya to be so cold and calm. “Greed is what causes humans to sin.”

Grandpa had completely let go of his feelings towards Xia Ruya, this allowed Wen Xinya to feel relieved.

To be honest, Grandpa was more affectionate towards Xia Ruya than her. This caused Wen Xinya to feel a bit of jealousy.

Old Mr Wen looked at her with cloudy eyes, looking wise. “This is such a big issue, and yet you have been hiding it from me. I know that you have been speculating about my affection towards Xia Ruya and was afraid that I could not take the news.”

Cheeks burning, she felt a bit helpless. “Grandpa, I…”

She did not expect that Grandpa would figure out how she felt.

She wanted to explain, but did not know how to.

Old Mr. Wen looked at her kindly. “These few years have been tough on you, don’t think like that anymore. As my granddaughter, how could you not have the confidence that you would be more important than an outsider like Xia Ruya?”

Xinya had been secretly concerned about his relationship of many years with Xia Ruya.

Therefore, when she mentioned Xia Ruya in front of him, she was particularly careful.

This made him agitated and regretful.

Over these years, Xinya had put in so much hard work and effort to gain his recognition, and he had always kept it in mind, but he never felt anything much about it. Until today, where he felt a little sad.

As Wen Family’s only blood descendant, the familial love that she was supposed to get was given to Xia Ruya easily, and yet she had to go through so much to get the same thing.

Wen Family truly owed her.

“I should not have imagined things.” Wen Xinya’s tears flowed down her face, as over these past few years, she had talked to Grandpa multiple times, but only this one time did she feel like it was a genuine interaction with no vested interest.

Over these years, she did feel bad about the affection that Grandpa had for Xia Ruya.

She always minded that in her past life, she was the one who was abandoned between Xia Ruya and her.

In this life, the generosity that Grandpa had for Xia Ruya caused her to feel guarded, and she felt that she could never get as close to him as she could with her maternal grandfather.

Old Mr Wen looked at her cry like a child and gently said, “What a silly child, do I look like the kind who’s easily confused? You have been too careful.”

In personal relations, he indeed had no idea how Old Mr. Mo got through to Xinya, as he had been in the business circle for too long and that formed the way that he thought, where his personal benefits were the first thing he considered when interacting with others.

However, this did not mean that he had a heart made of stone.

Wen Xinya laughed amidst her tears. “Grandpa, you’re not allowed to laugh at me.”

Her tone was coquettish, and it was clear that she wanted to get closer to Grandpa.

“Quickly wipe your tears. You’re so old already, yet you’re crying for no reason.”

Old Mr Wen was happy. All these years, although he felt close to Xinya, he felt as if there was something preventing them from getting closer. They had always talked about official business matters or something related to the business world.

There were not many of these naturally intimate occasions.
