Old Mr. Wen looked at Wen Xinya and said, “I’ll leave it to you to handle the matters in school. If you really don’t like Lan Feng, we can always change schools—don’t have to make yourself feel bad!”

Previously, she had handled the scandal very well, allowing him to have confidence in this granddaughter of his. Thus, he promised not to intervene. However, with things blowing up to such an extent in school, to endure the criticism must have caused immense pressure to this child. Although he promised not to intervene, he actually didn’t wish for her to continue staying in Lan Feng.

Although Lan Feng was good, after this incident, would Xinya really continue staying in Lan Feng as though nothing had happened, and complete her high school studies with a peace of mind? He expressed his suspicion.

Enduring Old Madam Wen’s murderous glare, Wen Xinya looked at Grandpa and said, “Grandpa, please believe me—I have my plans. If I were to scramble away in fear merely because of some gossips and criticism, how can I continue to survive in the circle in the future?”

Old Mr. Wen saw a glimmer of sharpness coming through her eyes, couldn’t help but feel relieved, nodded, and said, “Okay! Grandpa trusts you!”

Old Mr. Wen realized that the more he interacted with this granddaughter of his, the more he admired her. She had always had a mind of her own, was not easily influenced nor aloof and detached. She could weather harsh storms and steady streams and remain rock-solid and self-assured.

Old Madam Wen couldn’t bear being isolated at a corner, stared at Wen Xinya and said, “Old Man, what are your thoughts on the matters that I’d previously talked to you about? I was thinking it’s just a small matter, why don’t we help the Xia Family out!”

Wen Xinya’s ears immediately erected as she vaguely guessed that Xia Ruya had already mentioned to Old Madam Wen about the Xia Family opening a mega-high-end mall, and managed to persuade Old Madam Wen to put in a good word in front of Grandpa.

Old Mr. Wen’s expression dampened. “Did Ruya mention this matter in front of you? Previously when Xia Mingde called me, I’d already openly rejected him—why does he still bother to persist like this?”

Old Madam Wen hurriedly said, “Don’t misunderstand Ruya—I didn’t hear about this from her but heard news from the circle by chance. I feel that since Ruya’s return to the Xia Family, our relationship with the Xia Family has also become closer. Since it’s just a small thing, there’s no harm in helping them!”

Previously, she had indeed heard rumors regarding this, but she didn’t intend to help the Xia Family put in a good word. It was just that when she saw Ruya today and asked how was she doing at the Xia Family, Ruya had acted like she was about to cry and was unwilling to talk about it. She thought that, after all, she was an illegitimate daughter, had a legitimate stepmother above her who had a sister and brother beneath her, and guessed that she must be having a tough time at the Xia Family.

Thus, she had thought of this—if she could help the Xia Family on Ruya’s account, the Xia Family would definitely treat her like a goddess—who would dare to bully Ruya.

Wen Xinya asked in a curious manner, “Grandpa, is it regarding the Xia Family opening a high-end mall, hoping that the Wen Family will enter the mall and boost its reputation?”

Previously, she had intentionally spilled the beans about this matter in front of many people in school, ruining Xia Ruya’s chances of asking Grandpa for help. However, she didn’t expect Xia Ruya to actually be such a torn in the flesh to let Grandma know about this and used Grandma to ask Grandpa for help.
