Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Upon arriving at the Wen Family home, Wen Xinya headed straight to the study to look for her grandfather.

Old Mr. Wen smiled and asked, “Shouldn’t you be having your chess and music lessons at the Mo Family home now? Why are you back all of a sudden? What brings you here?”

He was getting more and more pleased with his granddaughter.

Wen Xinya walked towards him and looked at him hesitantly. “Grandpa, I... have something to tell you.”

“Go ahead and speak your mind,” said Old Mr. Wen, who found it strange that she was stammering, for she was usually steadfast and straightforward.

Hanging her head low, Wen Xinya answered, “Grandpa, I... ”

She pressed her lips together, seemingly finding it a little hard to speak.

Old Mr. Wen frowned slightly and asked, “You’re usually so straightforward, why are you humming and hawing now? Is there anything you can’t tell me?”

“Grandpa, I’d like to go to Grampy’s place and stay over for a few days. I’ll return again after the New Year.” Wen Xinya raised her head and stared at him, filled with a mix of emotions.

Instead of staying in the Wen Family home and watching Xia Ruya pretend to filial to Old Mrs. Wen, she would rather show her grandfather what her stand was and let him know that she was not willing to stay under the same roof as Xia Ruya.

Xia Ruya had caused Old Mr. and Mrs. Wen to get into a tiff when she mentioned about the clashing of medicines. Wen Xinya wanted to make use of Old Mr. Wen’s displeasure towards Xia Ruya to deal with her. So what if Grandpa is close to Xia Ruya? He wouldn’t ignore my feelings since I’m his biological granddaughter. Moving to live with the Mo Family will let Grandpa know that he ought to make a careful consideration before allowing Xia Ruya to stay over again. It’d be difficult for Xia Ruya to get into Grandpa’s good books again.

“You want to move to the Mo Family?” Old Mr. Wen asked in astonishment. He did not expect that she would make such a request on the second day that Xia Ruya moved in.

Wen Xinya kept her eyes fixed on her grandfather and said calmly, “Yes, Grandpa. I hope you’ll agree to it. I’d like to be filial to Grampy on my mother’s behalf.”

“You... why did you suddenly... It must be because of Ruya,” said Old Mr. Wen, who suddenly thought of something. What other reason could it be?

Old Mr. Wen felt a little guilty for failing to intervene and render help to Xia Ruya when the news of her scandal broke out. To his surprise, she actually exposed the results of her virginity test. Hence, he decided to let Xia Ruya stay over for a period of time. He partly wanted the outsiders to know that he was not heartless to his adoptive granddaughter.

However, it was awkward for her and Wen Xinya to get along, let alone live under the same roof.

After all... Xia Ruya was the person who had taken her place and enjoyed a luxurious life on her behalf.

Yet, he neglected Wen Xinya’s feelings.

Wen Xinya hung her head low and said in a hoarse voice, “Miss Xia definitely has a different status from me. After all, she grew up by your sides. I can put my mind at ease since Miss Xia will be there to accompany you and Grandma. I’m Grampy’s only kin and it’s only right that I accompany him more often.”

Since she wanted him to know how she felt, she had to make everything clear, so as to give Old Mr. Wen a warning about how upset she felt.

“Is this what you think?” Old Mr. Wen asked in shock. He could tell how disgruntled and upset she was

After a moment of silence, Wen Xinya answered, “Miss Xia has been close to you for fifteen years. That’s something that I can’t replace...”

Old Mr. Wen’s throat became dry and hoarse. He recalled the scene of Xia Ruya speaking to Old Mrs. Wen affectionately while Wen Xinya, the biological granddaughter, was given the cold treatment and had to sit by the side like an outsider.

He reckoned that Wen Xinya could not take the awkwardness at all.

She wanted to live in the Mo Family home and did not want to see Xia Ruya being close to Old Mrs. Wen.

Staring at her bright and sparkling eyes, Old Mr. Wen subconsciously explained, “I don’t have any other intentions for letting Xia Ruya stay with us for a short period of time. I just...” He could not bring himself to finish his sentence. He had other intentions for letting Xia Ruya stay over, after all.

Hanging her head low, Wen Xinya said in a hoarse voice, “Miss Xia has lived in the Wen Family for twelve years. She definitely means more to you guys than I do. Grandpa, you probably let her stay over because you don’t want others to think that you’re cold and heartless for leaving her in the lurch.” She paused in her speech and looked at her grandfather before looking down again. “I know. I really understand where you’re coming from, Grandpa. You don’t have to explain yourself to me. You’re just doing this for the Wen Family’s reputation.”

Although she hurriedly looked down again, Old Mr. Wen still noticed the tears and sorrow in her eyes. He knew that she was just trying to fools others and herself for saying these words. He could not help but feel ashamed and guilty.

Old Mr. Wen walked towards her and Wen Xinya’s teardrop fell onto his leather shoe. He said, “Since you’d like to stay over at your Grampy’s, go ahead! It’s only right that you spend more time with your grandfather.”

“Thank you, Grandpa!” Wen Xinya answered, feeling much calmer than before. However, she had already teared up long ago.

Old Mr. Wen patted her hand and comforted her. “There’ll be a New Year Celebration held on the 29th of January, in the Wen Corporation office tower. All the employees who hold high posts will be present. It’s an important banquet that’s held annually. This will be your first time attending it as Miss Wen, the heiress of the Wen Corporation. Don’t let it slip your mind.”

“Got it, Grandpa! I’ll definitely perform well and not embarrass you. I won’t bring shame to the Wen Family either.” Wen Xinya promised at the instant she heard his words. She had always known about the Wen Corporation’s New Year celebration. However, in her previous lifetime, she did not attend it as Miss Wen, the heiress of the Wen Corporation. During then, an incident took place, which changed her life forever. Ever since then, she was trampled on all over by Xia Ruya. In this lifetime... she was determined not to let history repeat itself.
