Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1441: The Inner Frailty

Old Mr. Mo had completely regained consciousness and there were no major issues with his health, although the outcome of the checkup was not out yet. Wen Xinya had stayed in the hospital for four to five days and finally returned to the Mo Family home to get some rest after much persuasion by Si Yiyan and Mother Jiang.

She was rather relieved since Uncle Zhang and Mother He were present at the hospital to accompany Old Mr. Mo.

However, she could not stop thinking about how upset Old Mr. Mo must have felt when he was forced to hear about the truth behind his daughter’s death as soon as he came to.

She could understand Old Mr. Mo’s feelings of grief and shock after finding out that his daughter’s death was not an accident like he had thought. It turns out she had been murdered. As her father, he failed to protect her and allowed her death to be unavenged for so many years, allowing the culprits to escape scot-free and stay above the law for decades.

One could only imagine how aggrieved, angry, guilty and remorseful he felt!

It was just like how she felt when she found out that Old Mr. Mo’s death in her previous lifetime was not an accident, and was instead related to Xia Ruya and Ning Shuqian.

Back then, she was overwhelmed with exasperation which seemed to have eroded her rationality. Without hesitation, she decided to kill Xia Ruya!

It was as if Xia Ruya’s death was the only thing that could get rid of her resentment.

“Yan... was I wrong? If I had told Grampy about the truth behind Mother’s death when I first found out about it, would Grampy have not...” Wen Xinya was filled with guilt and she felt that she was the reason for Old Mr. Mo’s illness, which was almost fatal.

“Why do you think that way?” Ever since she returned from the hospital, Wen Xinya had been feeling rather dejected and guilt was written all over her pale face, giving Si Yiyan a heartache.

Everyone had a vulnerable side.

Wen Xinya’s weakness was her family.

Having known Wen Xinya for such a long time, he knew that she had always been resolute, calm, rational and intelligent. It was as if she could resolve any issue effortlessly, regardless of what happened. However, Old Mr. Mo’s illness was an exception this time.

She seemed to have lost all of her strength and became absolutely vulnerable all of a sudden.

“Mother is Grampy’s only daughter. He has the right to know the truth about her death, but I chose to hide it from him because I was worried about his health. This could be considered deception, right? Grampy must be really upset and disappointed in me. I’ve really let him down.”

Wen Xinya thought about the previous lifetime.

Although she already knew that Old Mr. Mo’s death in her previous lifetime had something to do with Xia Ruya and Ning Shuqian, she was the one who hurt him the most!

If it weren’t because of the fact that she had trusted the wrong person and mistaken her grandfather, and subsequently grew distant from him, he wouldn’t have ended up living alone and becoming so disappointed!

She had failed to be a good granddaughter in both her lifetimes.

In bother her lifetimes, she had hurt Old Mr. Mo!

“Xinya, I was also involved in hiding the truth behind your mother’s death from Old Mr. Mo. You and Old Mr. Mo are related by blood, but Old Mr. Mo and I are like friends and family even though he’s also my teacher. I respect him just as much as you do. If you think that what you’ve done is wrong, I was wrong too. I was the one who caused this.”

He knew clearly how well she treated Old Mr. Mo and how reliant she was on him. She did not tell Old Mr. Mo the truth about Mo Yunyao’s death because she was sparing a thought for Old Mr. Mo’s health.

Besides, the Korean-Chinese Alliance was extremely complicated and they did not want Old Mr. Mo to be involved. They did not want him to suffer the agony of finding out about his daughter’s death and getting embroiled in a conspiracy after having lived a simple life for so many years.

They were clearly doing it for Old Mr. Mo’s own good.

However, Wen Xinya insisted that she was the one who let him down!

She put all the blame on herself as if that would make her feel a little better.

He had no idea why she thought that way.

However, he could more or less guess that it had something to do with the feelings of despair that she felt when Old Mr. Mo was gravely ill and hospitalized.

Wen Xinya was at a loss for words and she stared at Si Yiyan in astonishment.

Si Yiyan pulled her into his arms and sighed softly. “Silly girl, don’t put all the blame on yourself. This matter is very serious because the Korean-Chinese Alliance is involved. It’s only a matter of time before Old Mr. Mo finds out about the truth behind your mother’s death. No matter who’s right and wrong, it has already happened and Old Mr. Mo managed to pull through this time because you’ve been nursing his body back to health. You’ve already done a good job!”

The doctor had once said that it was rather rare for a patient to overcome such a dangerous health condition, although it could not be considered a miracle. Apart from the emergency measures taken and the treatment provided, it also had something to do with Old Mr. Mo’s strong willpower and quality of health.

“But I’ve still hidden it from Grampy, after all... He’s not going to hold it against me, right?” The thought of Old Mr. Mo closing his eyes and refusing to speak to her made Wen Xinya feel rather worried.

“You’re Old Mr. Mo’s only family member. Why would he be angry at you? Don’t let your imagination run wild.” Although she was clearly a determined person, she was very vulnerable and emotional when it came to kinship. He felt a heartache, for he knew that it was because of the painful experiences that she had while leading a wandering life for fifteen years.

Wen Xinya hesitated for a moment before nodding!

Indeed, she ought not to let her imagination run wild. Old Mr. Mo had already regained complete consciousness and ought not to let those negative emotions overwhelm her.

Si Yiyan held onto her hand and said, “Xinya, believe me, everything will get better from now on.”

They were no longer as helpless as they used to be when it came to dealing with the Korean-Chinese Alliance. There were too many loopholes and clues present in Wen Haowen’s suspicion against Ning Shuqian, Mo Yunyao’s last designs, the heirloom sales strategy and the entertainment city project. As long as they planned their moves properly, it would only be a matter of time before they carry out Plan S perfectly.

Besides, there was no bad news from the Zhou Family’s side even though there was no good news. The chances of them succeeding were rather high since they had Zhou Tianyu’s help.

Hence, everything would get better from now on.

Wen Xinya said softly, “I believe you. I’m just worried about Grampy and I feel terrible after thinking about the torment that he had to suffer in this life.”

She felt melancholic at the thought of Old Mr. Mo closing his eyes in fatigue when they were at the hospital.

Old Mr. Mo was not just physically tired, he was mentally and emotionally exhausted too!

Old Mr. Mo was in a state of emotional turmoil throughout his life.

Si Yiyan kissed her face and said softly, “From now on, we shall be filial to Grampy and stay by his side.”

Wen Xinya nodded and expressed assent.
