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.”

Wen Xinya held on to her Grampy’s elbow. “Grampy, I want to stay here with you!”

Although she knew that she was only moving back to the Wen Family on the surface and that she would still continue to go back to the Mo Family in the morning to play music, chess, read and draw with Grampy, she couldn’t help but feel a bit sad.

“What are you saying? Now that your homecoming party is over, you’re the veritable Miss Wen of the Wen Family, how could you continue to stay at the Mo Family?” Old Mr. Mo felt sad too, wanting her to stay at the Mo Family forever. The Wen Family was like a tiger den, not suitable for a growing young girl like her to stay in. action

He felt uneasy just remembering Wen Haowen’s actions at yesterday’s dinner. That beast did not have any care or feelings towards his own flesh and blood, even treating his adopted daughter better than he treated his biological daughter.

Of course, Wen Xinya knew that. She was only trying to act playfully with Grampy. “I’m only sleeping at the Wen Family anyway, I’ll still be coming here in the mornings to learn music, chess, literature, and art from you.”

“When you return to the Wen Family, you have to be very cautious. Your father is ruthless and sinister and only cares about benefits and his interests. Ning Shuqian and her daughter will definitely cause trouble for you, and they won’t give up easily. Although I can’t see through Xia Ruya and her intentions, she gives off a bad vibe. Stay away from her too.” This child may be clever and rational, but she was only 15 years old, causing him to feel worried.

Wen Xinya was filled with all sorts of mixed emotions. Grampy had said these exact same words to her in her previous life. Back then, she had a huge argument with him, saying how he was trying to ruin her relationship with the members of the Wen Family. His disappointed expression from then had been carved into her memory. If only she listened to him, she would not have ended up in such a sorry state.

Hearing the same words now, she felt at peace. “Grampy, I’m now the official Miss Wen of the Wen Family, and I also own 5% of Wen Corporation’s stocks. Ning Shuqian will not dare to do anything to me.”

Old Mr. Mo knew that Xinya only said that to put him at ease. “It’s easy to hide from the obvious, but not easy to dodge something hidden. Old Mr. Wen is such a tough guy, and yet he couldn’t stop Ning Shuqian from becoming his daughter-in-law. Her skills must be quite good.”

“Grampy, I will be careful. Before I gain enough skills, I will not become public enemies with her.” Wen Xinya thought back to Yang Chongguang’s death, feeling as if there were still a mysterious layer of fog hiding Ning Shuqian’s true evilness. Currently, she had not attained enough power and skills to fight Ning Shuqian head-on openly. So, she couldn’t afford to have a rift with her.

“As long as you know your limits.” Old Mr. Mo nodded in approval. He was afraid that with her new reputation backing her up, she would overestimate herself and forget her place.

Wen Xinya shook Grampy’s elbows slightly. “Grampy, don’t just care about me. After I move back to the Wen Family, don’t stay up too late to practice writing and drawing, you have to go to bed at 10 o’clock. When you wake up at 7:00 AM every morning, you have to practice Taiji three times, and you cannot refuse to eat the medicines Mother Jiang and Mother He makes for you. After every meal, you have to take a walk or stroll around the backyard for 15 to 30 minutes.”

Wen Xinya’s tiny mouth nagged away as if she forgot that despite moving back to the Wen Family, she was still spending a large half of her day at the Mo Household.

Old Mr. Mo stared at her without a word!

After saying her fill, Wen Xinya paused before adding, “I will make Uncle Bo watch you.”

At this moment, Uncle Bo was just walking into the house. He promised Wen Xinya, “Little Miss, you don’t have to worry. I will definitely watch after Old Mr. Mo well.”

Wen Xinya smiled at Grampy gleefully. “Grampy, you better listen well!”
