Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Although Du Ruo trusted her, she did not want to be too hasty or careless with planning for the future of the cosmetics store. She felt the need to seek Old Mr. Du’s opinion.

Du Ruo immediately brought Wen Xinya upstairs to see Old Mr. Du. She entered the study straightaway without even knocking on the door.

“Grandpa, Xinya is here,” Du Ruo exclaimed as soon as she entered.

Du Shinan put the book he was reading down and gazed at the knowledgeable Wen Xinya before looking at his granddaughter again.

“Why are you so noisy? That’s so inappropriate.”

Du Ruo stuck her tongue out at Old Mr. Du, not bothered by his chiding at all.

Wen Xinya burst into laughter and stared at the angry Old Mr. Du. She quickly said, “Grandpa Du, I’m here to discuss something with you. I’m not disturbing you, right?”

Old Mr. Du had never disliked Du Ruo for her attitude because he doted on her greatly.

Du Shinan gazed at Wen Xinya tenderly and said, “Xinya, come here and take a seat.”

Although she had already been kicked out, he still admired her greatly for her talent in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Unfortunately, it was not what she was interested in.

Du Ruo pulled Wen Xinya onto the couch.

Du Shinan said, “Give me your hand. I’ll take your pulse again.”

Although the wound on Wen Xinya’s head had already healed, she was indeed much weaker than before because of the excessive blood loss. Hence, he had been paying attention to her health.

Feeling extremely helpless, Wen Xinya stuck her hand out and said, “Grandpa Du, I’ve already recovered. There are no major issues with my health now.”

Du Shinan took her pulse carefully and said, “Yes! Your head injury has healed completely and there are no after-effects. Your health is in a good state too, but you haven’t recovered all of your energy yet. You have to nurse your body properly. I’ll prescribe you with a recipe later.”

She was recovering better than expected and he was rather surprised.

Du Ruo giggled and said, “Xinya, good that you’re alright. At least, Grandpa won’t have to worry about your health. He can’t stop nagging about you.”

Wen Xinya burst into laughter.

Du Shinan’s face grew sullen. He smacked Du Ruo on the head and chided. “What are you blabbering about?”

Du Ruo hung her head low and grimaced at him secretly.

Wen Xinya smiled and handed the proposal to Old Mr. Du. “Grandpa Du, I came here especially to discuss the future expansion of Lanxin Cosmetics with you.”

Du Shinan began flipping through the document. Although there was not much content, there were three main points. One was regarding the expansion of Lanxin Cosmetics’ store front and the second was about the potential progress that Lanxin Cosmetics could make. Lastly, it was about the plan for the future of Lanxin Cosmetics.

Du Shinan finished reading through the proposal pretty quickly. He stared at Wen Xinya solemnly and was reminded of the time when she was debating with him. Back then, she was stern and firm about her decision. She said to him, “No matter what I do, I’ll stay true to my morals.” Although he gave her the green light, he was still rather doubtful.

Now… three years had passed and Wen Xinya’s gaze was still as clear as before, though they resembled polished agate. Time passed and she began to exhibit her resplendence. She had fulfilled her promise to him and was on the path towards success.

He looked at Du Ruo again. She could not hide the glow in her eyes at all and she looked like polished pearl that was just beginning to shine.

Wen Xinya looked at Old Mr. Wen and began to feel a little uneasy. “Grandpa Du, are you upset about the proposal?”

She thought to herself, I’ve already read through the proposal carefully when Li Mengjie handed it to me. What’s wrong?

Du Ruo glanced at Old Mr. Du, who appeared stern and austere. “Grandpa, I believe Xinya wouldn’t harm me.”

Du Shinan smiled, closed the proposal and said, “There’s nothing wrong with this proposal. Also, Ruoruo is already eighteen. She can make decisions for herself. You two may discuss such things amongst yourselves in the future. You don’t have to seek my opinion.”

He absolutely trusted Wen Xinya, who was genuine, sincere and respectful.

Du Ruo and Wen Xinya were over the moon.

Wen Xinya looked at Old Mr. Du and said, “Grandpa Du, thank you. I’ll always remember the promises that I made to you back then. I won’t let you down.”

Du Ruo chimed in. “Grandpa, don’t worry, I’ll do my best. I won’t disappoint you and ruin Father’s and your reputation.”

Extremely heartened, Du Shinan glanced at the two of them and nodded slowly.

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief. Although she wanted to ask about Si Yiyan’s condition, she did not know how to start.

After all, she had been learning alongside Du Shinan for three years and he understood what her intentions were. “Do you want to ask me about Si Yiyan’s condition?”

He had already found out about Si Yiyan’s condition from Old Mr. Mo and knew that he was Old Mr. Mo’s student. He also heard about the relationship between Wen Xinya and Si Yiyan. He felt complicated about it and was rather conservative. In conclusion… he was doubtful.

However, Si Yiyan must be outstanding since he could gain the recognition of Old Mr. Mo.

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “I wonder if his old ailment can be treated.”

Old Mr. Du had already assessed Si Yiyan’s medical records and Wen Xinya felt rather anxious because he had yet to come up with a better treatment solution.

Du Ruo frantically interrupted. “Xinya, Grandpa has been researching about this medical condition lately and he had also discussed the symptoms with many other Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners. They finally came up with a feasible treatment solution, and this is my first time working with Grandpa on a solution. We’ve already come up with a rough plan, though we’ll have to research more about the efficacies of the different medicine.”

Old Mr. Du only began looking into the condition because of the relationship between Si Yiyan and Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Thank you, Grandpa Du, Ruoruo.”

Now that there was some hope for Si Yiyan’s condition, she felt as if a boulder had been lifted off her chest. However, she did not expect that Old Mr. Du would place so much emphasis on Du Ruo’s research, so much that he had even begun working with her.

Du Ruo immediately said, “You’re so formal. Be careful not to upset me and Grandpa.”

Du Shinan looked at Du Ru and chided. “Lass, you’ve finally said something appropriate.”

Wen Xinya hung her head low in embarrassment, though she felt rather grateful towards them.
