Chapter 1336: Si Yiyan VS Old Mr. Wen!

About 20 minutes later, Si Yiyan stopped icing Wen Xinya’s ankle and the swelling seemed to have subsided along with the pain. Old Mr. Wen had just arrived at the hospital, and so did Old Mr. Mo, who rushed there as soon as he received the news.
The two of them heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that Wen Xinya was alright.
Old Mr. Wen was especially worried about Wen Xinya because he had witnessed the terrifying incident and thought that Wen Xinya had not been able to survive it. He seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden as his hair turned gray and his wrinkles deepened. He no longer looked as energetic as he was at the start of the exhibition.
“Xinya, you… good that you’re alright, good that you’re alright!” Old Mr. Wen exclaimed in a shaky voice, feeling extremely fortunate and thankful for the fact that she was safe and sound. He stared at Wen Xinya with tears in his eyes.
Everything took place too suddenly during the exhibition and he thought that he had already lost Wen Xinya, the only remaining heir of the Wen Family. The massive blow seemed to strike him in his heart and he could not take it at all.
He knew that it was all planned by the Korean-Chinese Alliance, and the resentment that he bore towards them for killing Mo Yunyao gave him the courage to get a grip on himself.
To his surprise, Wen Xinya managed to escape the ordeal. Heaven was rather kind to the Wen Family, after all.
Staring at the sullen expression on Old Mr. Wen’s face, Wen Xinya frantically comforted him. “I’m sorry to have given you a great fright, Grandpa. Are you alright?”
She remembered what the doctor said about Old Mr. Wen having to avoid suffering huge blows or getting too agitated. She was extremely worried to see how worked up he was.
Old Mr. Wen shook his head and said, “I can still take it. I have my medicine with me.”
Wen Xinya finally felt relieved.
Staring at her swollen ankle, Old Mr. Mo said with a slight frown, “How’s your ankle? What did the doctor say?”
Old Mr. Mo only knew about what happened during the exhibition based on hearsay because he was not at the venue. Although he felt sorry for Wen Xinya, he was not that worried about her ankle sprain.
After finding out about the incident in detail, Old Mr. Mo could not help but feel alarmed and worried, though he felt rather thankful after noticing Si Yiyan for standing by Wen Xinya’s side. He knew without a doubt that Si Yiyan was the one who helped her out of the ordeal.
He vaguely sensed that things were not as simple as they seemed to be.
Wen Xinya frantically answered, “It’s just a minor sprain. The doctor said that it will heal in at most two weeks with some proper care. Don’t worry.”
Her injury was in control after the emergency treatment and icing.
Old Mr. Mo said with a slight frown, “Since you’re injured, it won’t be convenient for you to stay out alone. Move back home to the Mo Family mansion to nurse your injury!”
Old Mr. Mo had his reasons for making such a suggestion.
Back in the Mo Family home, there were the old servants to take care of Wen Xinya and her injury would be able to heal faster. He felt that the Wen Family… was not a suitable place for her to nurse her injury because Old Mrs. Wen had always been hostile towards Wen Xinya. Hence, he did not want Wen Xinya to suffer any mistreatment while she was nursing her injury.
Old Mr. Wen obviously wouldn’t agree to it. Just as he was about to speak…
Si Yiyan said calmly, “The incident that happened today during the exhibition was too coincidental. We have to investigate thoroughly in order to find out if there was a culprit behind it. Hence, it’d be better for Xinya to stay in the Mo Family home for the time being.”
Si Yiyan had his own reasons for agreeing with Old Mr. Mo.
He definitely couldn’t let anyone else find out that he was cohabiting with Wen Xinya. Otherwise, Old Mr. Wen and Old Mr. Mo would definitely oppose to it strongly. Hence, Wen Xinya definitely had to move back to either the Wen Family or the Mo Family for the time being. However, he felt that it would be better for Wen Xinya to move back to the Mo Family home since she was closer to Old Mr. Mo.
Besides, he would also get to visit Wen Xinya as and when he pleased. He might even get to move into the Mo Family home for a short stay in order to take care of Wen Xinya.
Old Mr. Wen suddenly glanced at Si Yiyan and said, “That sounds appropriate. With Old Mr. Mo around, it would be more appropriate for Xinya to nurse her injury in the Mo Family home.”
It was his second time meeting Si Yiyan.
The first time was during the post-examination celebratory banquet that he threw at Han Palace for Wen Xinya, which he invited Old Mr. Mo to. Si Yiyan showed up together with Old Mr. Mo as his student.
During the banquet, he observed Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan closely and noticed that the two of them seemed to share a close relationship. However, he did not think too much about it because he felt that Si Yiyan was not to be trifled with.
Later on, Wen Xinya came clean with him about her relation to Jiayuan Club, after which he found out that the refined-looking yet dominant and mysterious-looking Si Yiyan was the boss of Jiayuan Club. He was one of the three figures of the triads who were not to be trifled with.
At this moment, he scanned Si Yiyan carefully and had no choice but to admit that the latter was indeed extremely outstanding and strong!
Old Mr. Mo’s face grew sullen, for Si Yiyan’s words had confirmed his conjecture to be true. Someone… was out to kill Wen Xinya!
Old Mr. Wen’s eyes glistened and he said courteously, “Xinya managed to escape this ordeal, all because of Mr. Si’s secret help, right? Thank you so much. The Wen Family owes you a great favor. We’ll definitely return it as long as it’s not against our morals.”
When the chandelier fell off the ceiling, everyone thought that Wen Xinya definitely died. However, she managed to survive. Who else could have had the ability to save her, if not him?
Is he really helping Xinya on Old Mr. Mo’s account? Or is there another reason?
Old Mr. Wen secretly began to wonder.
Si Yiyan said calmly, “You’re being too formal, Old Mr. Wen. Me saving Xinya has nothing to do with the Wen Family. I did it on the account of the ties between me and her. You don’t owe me a favor.”
Old Mr. Wen was clearly suspecting that he harbored designs on Wen Xinya and the Wen Family. Indeed, Old Mr. Wen was sharp and ruthless. His heightened sense of danger was not to be belittled.
Old Mr. Wen asked with a stern expression, “Oh, is that so?”
The so-called ties!
Did he mean that he treats Xinya like his junior? Or is it on the account of Old Mr. Mo? Or is he referring to something else?
Old Mr. Wen realized that he could not see through Si Yiyan at all. The brief conversation and exchange made him feel like Si Yiyan was extremely mysterious and had a background that was far more complicated than he thought.
Wen Xinya got the chills after hearing their exchange. She frantically said, “Hehe, I just realized it’s already eleven something…” She then stifled a yawn and stared at Old Mr. Mo.
Please, Grampy, help me out!
