Wen Xinya only returned to the Wen Family home at nine in the evening.

Upon sight of her, Mother Wang hurriedly rushed forward and said anxiously, “Missy, you’re finally home. Hurry and go take a look at Old Sir! After taking his breakfast, Old Sir has yet to eat anything until now. The door of his study is tightly shut and he refuses to open it. When I called the landline upstairs, he said that he doesn’t have the appetite to eat.”

Old Mrs. Wen had left the house for her mahjong session after Xia Ruya arrived, and had yet to come home since then. Mother Wang did not wish to disturb Wen Xinya either because she knew that the latter was having lessons in school.

Wen Xinya frantically asked, “How’s Grandpa?”

She thought, Grandpa has had a great appetite for the past few days, why did he lose his appetite all of a sudden?

Mrs. Wang answered, “I don’t know the details. All I know is that Miss Xia came by in the morning and the two of them had a chat in the study. After Miss Xia left, Old Sir seemed to be in low spirits and I didn’t dare to disturb him either.”

Mother Wang had a look of disdain on her face when she mentioned Xia Ruya. She felt angry for the Wen Family because of how Xia Ruya turned her back against them and tried to harm them. Old Mrs. Wen had also wept about it for a long while, and Old Mr. Wen had become much more haggard than before.

Wen Xinya was rather taken aback to hear that Xia Ruya had dropped by. “Mother Wang, don’t worry. I’ll go upstairs to take a look.”

Wen Xinya realized that the servants of the Wen Family used to address Xia Ruya affectionately as “Miss Ruya”. Yet, they actually changed the way they addressed her and now addressed her simply and coldly as “Miss Xia”.

Mother Wang felt much more relieved.

Wen Xinya grabbed the bowl of meticulously prepared soup from Mother Wang’s hands and headed upstairs slowly.

She knocked twice but did not get an answer. She then leaned closer towards the door and exclaimed, “Grandpa, it’s me, Xinya!”

Soon, sounds of the door being unlocked could be heard and the door was opened.

Wen Xinya entered the study with a tray of food. Noticing that Old Mr. Wen seemed to be out of sorts, she broke the silence and said, “Grandpa, Mother Wang said that you haven’t eaten all day. You have to eat to get going. You’re already old in your years and yet, you’re still so willful.”

She then scooped a bowl of piping hot meat porridge for Old Mr. Wen.

Old Mr. Wen said with a frown, “I don’t have much of an appetite.”

Wen Xinya moved the bowl of porridge towards him and asked, “Grandpa, do you want me to feed you?”

Old Mr. Wen hurriedly gestured to indicate his refusal. He had no choice but to grab the bowl and take a few spoonfuls of porridge.

The pork porridge was bland and delectable. After taking two spoonfuls, Old Mr. Wen’s appetite improved and he continued to eat two more bowls to fill himself up.

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief.

Old Mr. Wen felt much better after eating some food. He then said, “I called Ruya and told her to come by today. I’ve transferred some of my assets to her.”
