Chapter 1411: Old Mr. Mo Is in an Emergency
“Young mistress, Old Mr. Mo has suddenly fainted. He is now in the hospital and the doctors said he is in a dangerous condition.”
Uncle Zhang’s anxious words replayed in Wen Xinya’s head. Her mind was blank and the cold breeze outside of the window sped up along with the car. The wind whizzed into the car and pierced through her flesh like knives. Her entire body felt cold and she could not stop s.h.i.+vering.
Grampy is in danger?
She was in a daze and this line kept repeating in her head. The cold must have numbed her brain and caused her to lose her thoughts. For a moment, she could not understand what that sentence meant.
Until the scene of Grampy’s death in her past life appeared in her vision.
The sound of the DJ was deafening and colorful lights danced along with the swaying bodies of men and women. Everybody grooved to the music and shook their bodies wildly, indulging themselves.
Wen Xinya was wearing a cropped top that exposed her waist. She danced along to the rhythm of the music seductively just like a snake. She had on hot pants, revealing her slender and fair legs. With her inviting dance moves, those legs looked extremely tempting.
In the bar, beautiful and single ladies easily attracted the attention of lecherous men. Soon, Wen Xinya was surrounded by a group of men. Wen Xinya was not only unafraid, but looked at them provocatively with her sharp eyes and danced together with them without a care.
Wen Xinya had a great figure and was an amazing dancer. She moved along with four men at once without missing a beat.
The music was pa.s.sionate and their dance was rhythmic. Everybody there was cheering.
Just then, Wen Xinya’s phone rang.
A hint of annoyance could be seen on her face that was covered in thick makeup. However, she still got away from the dance floor and went to a quiet corner before answering, “h.e.l.lo, who’s this?”
“h.e.l.lo, is this Miss Wen?” A gentle and elegant voice replied.
Hearing that it was an unfamiliar voice, Wen Xinya was even more annoyed. “Yes, if you have anything to say just spit it out!”
Maybe because the other party was shocked by Wen Xinya’s rude att.i.tude, he was silent for a moment. The last shred of patience Wen Xinya had was gone. She muttered “lunatic” under her breath and prepared to hang up the phone.
“h.e.l.lo, Miss Wen. Sorry to disturb you. I am Old Mr. Mo’s student. It’s like this, Old Mr. Mo was really interested in a literature study course previously. Now that the course is actually out…”
Wen Xinya was not in the mood to listen to him. She interrupted without a care. “If that’s the case, go and find my grandfather. Why are you calling me?”
“I have been unable to contact Old Mr. Mo for the past few days. Can I ask if you know how to find him? He didn’t seem to be in great condition, is his health okay?”
Her patience ran out and Wen Xinya replied irritatedly, “I don’t know!”
With that, she hung up the call.
After the call ended, she returned to the dance floor.
However, she felt uneasy for some reason. That person mentioned that her grandfather’s health was not good which made her worry. She tried to force herself to continue dancing but left the dance floor in the end. She changed into decent clothing and headed for the Mo Family.
She had a key to the Mo Family since her Grampy forced it into her hands. However, she had never once used it. For some reason, she always felt guilty and afraid whenever she saw Grampy. As such, in the three years she was back in the Wen Family, she barely visited the Mo Family.
Now, only Grampy was left alone in the Mo Family. Other than the cleaners who came twice a week, the huge mansion was empty and cold. Wen Xinya felt remorseful. As Grampy’s only kin, she was not filial and let him live a lonely life. She was a terrible grandchild.
She thought, I must come can visit Grampy more in the future.
As she made her decision, Wen Xinya no longer felt as afraid as she was in the past. She raised her voice and called out, “Grampy, Grampy…”
Silence answered her.
Wen Xinya searched everywhere but could not find her grandfather. She kept repeating uneasily, “Grandfather, are you home?”
Wen Xinya went up to the second floor. She knew that Grampy usually liked to stay in his study room to practice his calligraphy. Normally, she would never dare to disturb him.
Wen Xinya stood in front of the study room which was closed. Thinking of Grampy’s stern expression, she was a little nervous. “Grand… father… are you… are you in there?”
n.o.body replied.
Wen Xinya frowned, an ominous feeling creeping up her back. She suddenly reached out and pushed open the door.
“AHH—”
A high pitched scream escaped her lips and reverberated around the Mo Family mansion.
Wen Xinya’s pupils shrank and she was frozen in fear by the sight before her.
The table was messy and ink was splattered everywhere, spilling onto the ground. Books, paintings, and papers were scattered all over the floor. Even Grampy was lying on the floor looking yellow and pale.
“Grampy…” Wen Xinya reacted and rushed to him.
When she touched him, he was cold and stiff.
Boom—
At that moment, her mind snapped and all she could hear was a sharp and piercing sound that played in her head like a broken piano. Tears began falling down her eyes uncontrollably.
“Grampy, Grampy…” She cried into his chest.
With her blood kin gone, she was extremely emotional and lost as she continued to shake his cold and stiff body.
From the looks of the color of his skin and the stiffness of his body, Grampy must have died quietly in this house for at least two days. The study room was in a mess as well, indicating that he died a painful death as he struggled.
Suddenly, Wen Xinya gained back all her senses.
In the eighteen years of her life, she had never felt so awake and clear-headed as now.
“Grampy, wake up. I beg you, please wake up. Don’t ignore me… I’m sorry… It’s my fault… I know I’m wrong, I’ll listen to anything you say, I’ll do anything you want…” Wen Xinya wailed. There were no words to describe her feelings at that time, but it felt painful to her bones.
It was as if now that her blood tie was cut, her heart became empty and was filled with fear and despair.
It felt like her blood was being drained from her. It was excruciating just like a nightmare.
