Chapter 1296: Old Mr. Mo’s Gossip

As soon as Wen Xinya returned to the Mo Family home, she was enthusiastically welcomed by Mother He, Mother Jiang, and Uncle Zhang. They were often friendly and kind towards her throughout all these years. Wen Xinya also treated them with great respect.

She could not help but be reminded of the previous lifetime where she moved to the Mo Family home not long after she reunited with the Wen Family. Due to the disrespect that she showed to the servants whom Old Mr. Mo treated like his family members, they all ended up leaving the Mo Family home one by one. Their departure resulted in Old Mr. Mo being all alone.

Old Mr. Mo was an esteemed and reputable figure of the literary world and he had taken a countless number of apprentices under his wing. Yet, he ended up in such a sorry plight. The thought of it made her tear up in agony. She could not forgive herself at all, not even after the rebirth.

Everything had changed in this lifetime.

Uncle Zhang’s son had opened a small company that brought in a reasonable revenue. His son had been wanting to bring Uncle Zhang home several years ago. However, Uncle Zhang could not bear to leave Old Mr. Mo and Wen Xinya. Hence, he turned his son down and stayed behind in the Mo Family home.

Due to the fact that Mother He and Mother Jiang were old in their years, they could not perform any chores apart from cooking. Hence, they had been wanting to retire and go back home to spend their remaining years. After much persuasion by Wen Xinya, they finally conceded and stayed behind to look after Old Mr. Mo.

With Uncle Zhang, Mother He and Mother Jiang around to accompany and take care of Old Mr. Mo, she was not too worried about him feeling lonely.

Old Mr. Mo would definitely not pass away alone at home as he did in the previous lifetime. He was so lonely that no one even knew about his death.

Feeling very much at ease, Wen Xinya walked through the hall and arrived at the backyard where the sun was shining brightly. Wen Xinya glanced at Old Mr. Mo, whose silhouette began to appear a little dreamy to her.

She could not help but feel a little flustered all of a sudden. She suddenly closed her eyes and tried to clear her thoughts for a while. A few moments later, she opened her eyes and her vision finally began to get a little clearer.

She frantically scurried towards him and exclaimed in a shaky voice, “Grampy!”

Old Mr. Mo looked up at her and noticed the anxiety on her face. He put down the scissors in his hands and asked tenderly, “What’s wrong with you? You look really flustered.”

Wen Xinya’s face looked rather pale and feeble beneath the sunlight.

Wen Xinya grabbed onto Old Mr. Mo’s arm as she began to feel much more at ease. She smiled and said, “Nothing much. I’m just starting to miss you because I haven’t seen you in days, Grampy.”

Wen Xinya looked up at Old Mr. Mo and smiled at him radiantly… while her trauma from her previous lifetime began to fade.

She felt that it was time she started getting over Old Mr. Mo’s death in her previous lifetime. It had already been three years and she had also managed to change Old Mr. Mo’s destiny. He was now in the pink of health, all thanks to her meticulous care and the herbal soups that she had been feeding him with. She was certain that he would definitely live a long life and she would stay by his side for the rest of his years.

Scrutinizing her carefully, Old Mr. Mo said, “You silly child. You were so mature and composed at the start, but you seem to be regressing now.”
