The press conference progressed very smoothly. Grandpa was very skilled at handling the reporters and also very thorough in his arrangements. Never was there a moment when he lost control of the conference, unlike Wen Haowen’s earlier affair.
The reporters’ questions mostly centered on Grandpa’s earlier pronouncements. Some also expressed concerns about his health.
It was already 4 pm by the time the press conference ended. Grandpa looked rather fatigued.
Wen Xinya and Assistant Yang accompanied Grandpa back to the hospital, where the doctor examined him and assured them that his condition was still good. Only then did Wen Xinya heave a sigh of relief.
Old Mr. Wen laid in bed, looking very tired and somewhat haggard.
Wen Xinya sat by the bed peeling some fruit. Her heart was full of worries.
Grandpa’s public proclamation today that he was cutting all father-son ties with Wen Haowen—Grandpa himself was probably the one who felt the worst about this!
Her previous conjectures were founded. Wen Haowen was definitely involved in Grandpa’s fainting spell, which was why Grandpa would lay down all these edicts and announce them in such a major press conference the moment he awoke.
“Grandpa, Yang Ziyu’s child still doesn’t have a name. Won’t you give him one?” Wen Xinya broke the silence in the room.
Previously, Grandpa had felt rather conflicted over that kid as he was an illegitimate child and a dishonor to the family. But as he watched him grow day by day, Grandpa started to develop true feelings for that baby.
Old Mr. Wen sighed, his face still full of weariness. “Let’s call him Jinyu then! It means precious jade. Strict parents will raise a child as wonderful as a piece of precious jade, while overly-lax parents will only raise a child who is a disgrace.”
Jinyu. Precious Jade. It also indicated a person with high morals.
Wen Yuya smiled. “Wen Jinyu! This is a superb name. It sounds pleasing to the ear and has a good meaning behind it!”
Strict parents would raise a child as wonderful as a piece of precious jade, while overly-lax parents would only raise a child who was a disgrace!
It was a famous saying from “The Family Instructions of Master Yan”, a 26 chapter book by Chinese writer Yan Zhitui, detailing his philosophy and life-advice to his sons.
Grandpa was completely disheartened by how cold-blooded Wen Haowen was. As a result, he had named the baby Jinyu as a cautionary reminder.
Her own name “Xinya” had been given to her by her Grampy. It was a name that also expounded on the importance of good virtues.
Old Mr. Wen nodded in a somewhat disgruntled manner. “I plan to personally raise this child and forbid Wen Haowen from interacting with him. From now on, you will have to work harder for the Wen Corporation!”
First was Xia Ruya, and now this Wen Haowen. Old Mr. Wen’s heart ached tremendously whenever he thought of these two.
As a result, he planned to set aside everything else and focus on raising this child, to avoid repeating the same mistakes made with Xia Ruya and Wen Haowen.
Wen Xinya naturally understood his intentions. “Grandpa, don’t worry!”
She felt more at ease now that she knew Grandpa would have his own plans and arrangements for this child.
Wen Xinya fell silent as she observed how despondent her Grandpa was.
Old Mr. Wen patted her hand. “You don’t have to worry about me. I already arranged for all these long before I fainted. It’s just that my plans were slightly delayed by my coma. The Wen Family cannot afford to keep on a ruthless bastard like Wen Haowen.”

Old Mr. Wen could see how concerned his granddaughter was for him. Although he was indeed somewhat dispirited, he had already resigned himself to some matters and was no longer as stubborn as before.
Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief. “Grandpa, no matter what happens, Jinyu and I will always be by your side.”
Gaining this new little life after losing Wen Haowen would bring a fresh new start to the Wen Family. After being discharged from the hospital, Grandpa would focus all his attentions on Jinyu and no longer be distracted by Wen Haowen.
Old Mr. Wen finally smiled.
It was a warm and cozy scene as grandfather and granddaughter chatted on companionably.
***
The door to the ward was thrown open with a loud bang.
Old Madam Wen rushed into the room and started shouting. “Old man! What do you mean by this? Why are you cutting off all father-son ties with Haowen and driving him out of the Wen Family? No matter how many mistakes he has committed, he is still your son…”
She hadn’t believed Haowen when he claimed that Old Mr. Wen would cut off all father-son ties with him and cast him out of the Wen Family. Who knew such an earth-shattering thing could happen overnight.
She just couldn’t believe that Old Mr. Wen would do something like that.
Looking at how angry Old Madam Wen was, Wen Xinya wisely decided that she should take her leave now.
She was not worried about Old Madam Wen going overboard and making too much of a scene. Old Madam Wen herself also cared a lot about Grandpa’s health.
Old Madam Wen noticed Wen Xinya and instantly glared daggers at her. “Wen Xinya, was it you who incited your Grandpa to do such a wicked thing? You unfilial girl. The Wen Family doesn’t recognize a heartless bitch like you as part of us. If there is to be any cutting of family ties, it should be with you…”
Old Madam Wen’s mind was full of Wen Haowen’s earlier pointed words. She was so angry that, if not for concern over that old man’s health, she would have already charged over and slapped that girl.
“Shut up!” Old Mr. Wen angrily halted Old Madam Wen’s nonsensical ranting.
Old Madam Wen glared wrathfully at Old Mr. Wen.
Wen Xinya had no idea whether she should leave or stay now.
Old Madam Wen carried on grievously. “Old man, Haowen said you have no room left for anyone in your heart except for your granddaughter Wen Xinya. He is indeed correct. You are protecting her at the expense of your relationship with Haowen. You are so vicious…”
Old Madam Wen started wailing as she berated Old Mr. Wen.
The Wen Family had completely changed since Wen Xinya arrived. It was all her fault.
Old Mr. Wen ignored Old Madam Wen and just gazed toward Wen Xinya. “Xinya, I have things to discuss with your grandma. You head off first.”
It was not appropriate for Xinya to participate in matters concerning her elders.
Moreover, Old Madam Wen would just find all sorts of ways to needle her if she stayed on.
Wen Xinya nodded and prepared to leave.
Old Madam Wen hollered. “You are not allowed to leave! We must clear up everything today, once and for all.”
Old Madam Wen was a formidable force when she got mad. She had already convinced herself that Wen Xinya was behind Old Mr. Wen’s decision to cut off all ties with Wen Haowen. There was no way she would allow that girl to sneak off now.
Old Mr. Wen instructed calmly. “You can go off now!”
Wen Xinya understood her Grandpa’s intentions. She quietly closed the door after leaving the ward.
Old Madam Wen had always treated Wen Haowen as her precious baby. Now that something like that happened, it was inevitable that Old Madam Wen would create a ruckus. Nevertheless, Wen Xinya was not worried. Grandpa had always been able to subdue the old lady. She wouldn’t be able to fuss for much longer.
