Chapter 146: Turning rich in one second

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Those were all antiques and artifacts! In this case… the true value of everything she owned was definitely more than just a billion dollars! Wen Xinya finally realized why the older generation had such expectations of their descendants. Books and knowledge were truly the most valuable treasures in the world.

“These gold, silver, and jade pieces can be used to find out the total market value of everything. Although the value of gold has depreciated over the years, these gold articles contain pure and original gold, so their value won’t be affected much.

“There are fewer silver pieces here and more jade ones. As jade has been over-exploited these years, high-quality jade pieces are few in the market, causing the prices of these to skyrocket. These jade articles are worth more than a billion dollars.

“There are also some gemstone jewelry, rare gadgets, antique embroidered brocade, and various rare wood items. Together, everything will be close to 300 million dollars. Perhaps, when you actually start using them, their value may have risen even further.”

Grampy’s words were fiercely hammered into her head, turning Wen Xinya’s head into chaos. She felt as if a meteor had dropped on her, causing her to feel dizzy and confused. “Grampy, this must be how it feels when a rock falls on your head!”

Old Mr. Mo saw her stunned expression, yet her eyes were still bright and pure. She didn’t lose herself at this sudden gain in wealth. He gently patted her head affectionately. “Once you turn 18, I will pass this dowry to you! You can do whatever you want with them!”

Wen Xinya was in a daze. “Grampy, I didn’t realize that the Mo Family and the Ren Family were so rich.”

Old Mr. Mo smiled. “Your mother’s grandmother, also your great grandmother, was from a family of famous jewelers. When she married into the Ren Family, the wedding was the most sensational thing in town. Unfortunately, she died early, and since the Ren family only had your grandmother as heir, all of this dowry was passed down to her, who passed it to your mother, who finally left them to you.”

“I see!” Wen Xinya felt like she was in a dream. She felt as if these dowry items were more of an inheritance and not expensive items for sale. Although she knew that these belonged to her, and that she could use them in any way in the future. But after hearing Grampy’s words, she did not have any thought of using them.

Old Mr. Mo looked at her sternly. “Although you own so much wealth, which will let you avoid many detours in life, I hope that you continue to strive for self-improvement. Don’t stop working hard and seek for shortcuts because of these added riches.”

Wen Xinya nodded firmly and solemnly. “Grampy, please believe in me. If I have a choice, I will definitely not use these items. These were given to my grandmother by my great grandmother, who passed them on to mother, who left them for me. I hope to present them to my future child too, and let them become heirlooms to be passed from one generation to another.”

Old Mr. Mo understood her intentions and felt comforted. He patted her head softly. “Things must be used at appropriate timings for their true worth to shine through. Otherwise, they will always remain as dead items. I know that you have great ambitions and will use them well in the future.”

Wen Xinya nodded. “Grampy, don’t worry. I will use the dowry well.”

This child is kind and trustworthy. Old Mr. Mo touched her head. “I will get Mother Jiang and Mother He to pack your things. Your Grandpa will come to pick you up in a bit to return to the Wen Family.”
