Back when Xinya was taken away, he was filled with grief and frustration, with nowhere to let them out. The last request made by Yunyao at her deathbed weighed heavily on his mind, and the only thing he could think of was the skinny body of his granddaughter. Having lost his mind, he searched everywhere for Xinya.
It was during then that Haowen and Ning Shuqian had their marriage licensed. He neither had the energy left to stop Haowen nor to prevent Ning Shuqian from bringing the daughter from her previous marriage into the family.
He had a huge fight with Haowen over this. However, he softened after seeing the scrawny little baby in the arms of Ning Shuqian who reminded him of his lost granddaughter, and Haowen then registered Wen Yuya under the Wen Family discreetly. Although he was against it, he did not stop them.
