Chapter 639 - It Draws a Close to Our Affinity with Her (2/2)

Wen Xinya was slightly stunned, though she nodded slightly to show her nonchalance.

She could guess what Old Mr. Wen’s intentions were. Although Xia Ruya had taken things too far, the fact that they had lived together for twelve years could not be erased. Old Mr. Wen was showing her mercy because of that. Logically speaking, Xia Ruya was resentful towards the Wen Family and thus, he felt that it would be best to cut the Gordian knot as soon as possible.

“Well, I guess I’ve drawn a close to our affinity with her,” Old Mr. Wen said, his eyes glistening. He did not have any other intentions because he was an upright person. Yet, Xia Ruya failed to be upright. He could not help but shake his head at the thought of the words that she had said earlier on.

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Miss Xia was raised by the Wen Family for twelve years. It’s only right for you to do so.”

Things were much better compared to the previous lifetime where she heard about Old Mr. Wen’s will from Ning Yuya, one month after she returned to the Wen Family home. Back then, Old Mr. Wen bequeathed fifty percent of his bonds, two properties and fifty million yuan worth of jewelry to Xia Ruya, as well as five percent of the Wen Corporation’s shares.

Before she passed away, she found out that he had given Xia Ruya an extra five percent of the Wen Corporation’s shares.

In this lifetime, Xia Ruya bore a strong hatred and resentment towards the Wen Family. Hence, Old Mr. Wen would definitely not give her any portion of the Wen Corporation’s shares.

Old Mr. Wen sighed and said, “You and Ruya are both great children, but I didn’t expect that Ruya would turn out this way. Previously, I only took her cheap shots as an expression of her jealousy. I thought that she would one day wake up, especially since she’s so intelligent. Yet…”

Wen Xinya finally realized that Old Mr. Wen had been kind and magnanimous to Xia Ruya, only because she had grown up beside him. Hence, he had faith in her and only thought of her scheming tricks as little tantrums. Besides, Xia Ruya had been manipulating and instigating others to deal with Wen Xinya. Hence, Old Mr. Wen naturally did not know a thing about it and did not intervene. She was filled with a sudden mix of emotions. Does Grandpa have any idea that his negligence was what caused my life to be ruined in the previous lifetime?

Old Mr. Wen sighed and said, “Xinya, did you have something to do with Ruya’s current plight…”

He had always felt guilty towards Wen Xinya. Just like what she had said, he had always been magnanimous and tolerant towards Xia Ruya and doted on her. Hence, he had never interfered with Wen Xinya’s retaliation against Xia Ruya. Of course… he also knew that he could not intervene, for Wen Xinya was authoritative and assertive like the Mo Family members.

Wen Xinya was suddenly overwhelmed with frustration. She interrupted. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ve always stayed in my own lane, and I only ever take revenge where it’s due. If Xia Ruya doesn’t provoke me, I definitely won’t continue to drive her into a corner.”

She sneered in her head. I’ve used two lifetimes to prove my point. Even if there were another lifetime, Xia Ruya wouldn’t stop resenting her. She was merely patronizing Old Mr. Wen.

Old Mr. Wen nodded and calmly changed the subject. “What happened lately? How has your revision been going? Were you affected?”

Wen Xinya smiled and answered, “My revision has been going well, and I definitely wouldn’t let this nonsense affect me.”

Old Mr. Wen smiled in satisfaction and asked, “Which university do you plan to go to?”

That was his main concern.

Wen Xinya answered, “The school of design of Capital University. I plan to study fashion and jewelry design.”

Greatly taken aback, Old Mr. Wen said, “I thought that you would major in jewelry design. It turns out you’re interested in fashion design as well.”

He was glad to see that his outstanding granddaughter had such great plans. Hence, he was not worried that she could not make it into university. He knew that her mother used to have a great flair for jewelry design. He did not expect that she would be interested in fashion design too.”

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “I’m very interested in jewelry design too. Although it’s just an elective, I’ll be attentive when it comes to studying it.”

Old Mr. Wen was not surprised to hear that.
