Chapter 1120: Little Mischievous

By the end of August, the long summer vacation was almost over. These days, studying was not as stern as before. Wen Xinya finally got rid of the intense studying and could not help but let loose.

Old Mr. Mo slowly put down his teacup and whispered, “It is almost time to start school!”

Wen Xinya nodded. “Well, Capital University will start on September 1st. It’s one week away.”

Talking about the start of school, Wen Xinya felt a little anticipating.

In her previous life, she had suffered contempt and ridicule because of her college entrance exam failure, and she was full of resentment. Later, with the wealth of the Wen family, she barely reached the threshold of the Department of Design of Qingyuan University. She had a weak heart and did not feel much about college life.

Later, at school, because of Xia Ruya and Ning Yuya’s machinations, she suffered exclusion and ridicule everywhere. Her reputation in the circle was not good. Everyone disdained to deal with her. Later, she was plotted against and threatened by Ning Yuya. Her college life could be described as a tragedy.

This life, however, was different.

She got into college with her own efforts and would work hard to fulfill her dreams and experience her college life.

Old Mr. Mo looked at her eyes, flashing with expectation seeing her beautiful little face, full of youthful activities, and could not help but smile. “You have been studying zither, chess, painting, and calligraphy for more than three years. I ought to make a test and see just how much you have learned.”

Wen Xinya smiled and answered, “Grampy, don’t you laugh at me.”

Old Mr. Mo then tested Wen Xinya’s improvement.

This included chess, calligraphy and painting, and historical economy.

This was the first time Grampy had tested her seriously, so Wen Xinya put down her slight bit of scorn and tried to perform to the best of her ability.

After the test was completed.

Wen Xinya only felt that her whole body was tired and exhausted. It was even more tiring than the college entrance examination.

Old Mr. Mo’s attitude was correct and rigorous. “Chess, calligraphy and painting, each has its own benefits, but your painting skills are slightly weaker. However… you are only learning for entertainment and self-interest, so you do not need to bother studying with too much effort.”

Old Mr. Mo sighed slightly.

This child was like her mother, clever and her nature was perfect, but she was also like her grandmother. She was impatient and was quick to be disappointed. No matter what she learned, she would start quickly. While others needed ten years of hard work, she would accomplish it well in three or four years. Although this was attributed to his careful teaching, it was also related to Si Yiyan’s daily guidance. Of course, more importantly, because of her talent and hard work.

Wen Xinya, having won Grampy’s praise, smiled. “I also feel that I have made great progress.”

Could she have made little progress? Grampy was a literary grand Confucian. As the only blood relative of her grandfather, she could not humiliate him. Ninth Si was so talented, and as his girlfriend, she also could not lag behind him too much. Under such pressure, she could not relax at all.

Old Mr. Mo sternly said, “Although you have made great progress, you can’t be complacent just because you have made a small achievement. You must know that there is no limit to learning, and there is no end to it. You must always take the correct attitude towards learning.”

Looking at Xinya’s slightly raised eyebrows, he could not help but give a lecture. Although she was not proud and complacent, she still had to be reminded.

Wen Xinya was so proud that when she was lectured by her grandfather, it was like being splashed in the head with cold water. She pursed her lips and straightened her attitude. “Grampy, I know.”

Grampy nodded. “Xinya, your learnings in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting have made great progress, and your grandfather has nothing left to teach you. In the future, you do not have to learn from your grandfather. You can rely on yourself for how much you can achieve in the future. But if you have any questions, you can ask me.”

Old Mr. Mo felt a little sorry. Xinya was a natural, and she was more suitable to inherit his mantle. In this way, they would be able to learn from each other, but she had her own ideas, and he felt it would not be good to force her. So, the more he taught, the more time it would take to dig in, and it would be a burden to her. It was a pity, given she was such a one-of-a-kind jade.

Thinking of this, Old Mr. Mo felt somewhat inexplicable.

His whole life he was wise and fortunate to have a few talented students, but unfortunately, none of them had succeeded him.

Having heard this, Wen Xinya felt stunned. “Grampy, was I inadequate in any area?”

Although it was hard to learn something from her Grampy, she enjoyed every little bit. At this moment, her Grampy’s words had left her overwhelmed.

Mo Gong said indifferently, “Since you are not aiming to become a talented and capable woman in this age, why do you have to learn so much? You think I am not aware that you have other ambitions in your heart? Any further learning will not be beneficial to you, but rather become a burden.”

Xinya had always been filial and obedient, so no matter what he taught her, she would work hard to master it. For this, he was very pleased. But he knew that Xinya had some business, heavy learning and busy work in private. In the future, Xinya would be the one suffering.

Wen Xinya understood the circumstances. Holding her Grampy’s arm, she coquettishly said, “Nevertheless, Grampy’s future instructions must remain, and you must not retain them just because I cannot inherit your mantle.”

Her high-pitched voice, accompanied by those words, was amusing.

Old Mr. Mo glanced at her lightly. “Who raised this daughter? She is so petty!”

Pouting softly, Wen Xinya said, “Who else!”

Old Mr. Mo was affected by her cheekiness and could not help laughing. “Not only petty but also mischievous.”

Wen Xinya said, “Grampy, how can you put your granddaughter down like this?”

The smile on Old Mr. Mo’s face grew deeper. “Okay, stop laughing non-stop. School will start in a few days. When do you plan to move back?”

Xinya had spent the Summer vacation at Old Mr. Mo’s house, and staying longer would not be appropriate.

Wen Xinya sulked and said, “Grampy, how can you be so direct.”

She had originally planned to move back to the Wen family in two days. Although she could not bear to leave her Grampy, she was about to start school. For the rest of the time, she still wanted to accompany her grandfather.

Old Mr. Mo also felt that his words were a bit harsh, so his voice softened. “Capital University is not far from the Mo Family, and it will be convenient to travel to in the future.”

Wen Xinya smiled contentedly, took her Grampy’s arm, and said, “You are the one who said this, so you are not allowed to chase me away in the future.”
