Ning Shuqian's outspoken and self-righteous words not only failed to serve as an excuse, but instead directly stirred up a hornet's nest, making everyone angry, and their original words of condemnation turned into insults.
Wen Xinya, who was always calm and composed, couldn't help but become extremely angry because of these words. She slowly clenched her hands into fists, then loosened her five tightly clenched fingers stiffly, and suddenly raised her hand towards Ning Shuqian.
"Wen Xinya, what are you doing!" An angry shout, accompanied by raging rage, came towards Wen Xinya like a tidal wave.
Wen Xinya looked at her raised hand, which was tightly grasped by a large hand belonging to an adult. The anger in her heart was like a raging storm, but strangely, it calmed down bit by bit.
She raised her eyes and looked directly at Wen Haowen: "Dad!"
Wen Haowen's face was ashen, and due to indulging in alcohol and sex, his eyes were slightly sunken, with a dark blue color, which made his originally handsome face even more sinister and cold. At this moment, he stared at Wen Wenya with a pair of cold eyes, flashing with murderous rage, and the expression on his face became ferocious.
Wen Haowen glared at Wen Xinya fiercely and said angrily, "Wen Xinya, you are the eldest daughter of the Wen family and the future heir of the Wen Group. You made trouble in public at the jewelry exhibition held by the Wen Group, disregarding the face of the Wen family, the interests and reputation of the Wen Group. You are not worthy of being a daughter of the Wen family at all!"
What Wen Haowen said in public was extremely serious.
This meant that Wen Haowen denied Wen Wenya in front of everyone.
Wen Haowen now controls 23% of the shares of Wen's Group, and has the support of several small shareholders at the shareholders' meeting. He has an unshakable position in Wen's Group. His words at this time also represent his denial of Wen Wenya as a major shareholder.
Wen Xin's identity as the heir to Yawen Group may not be secure under such denial.
Wen Haowen's words were like a stone that caused a thousand waves, causing an uproar among the crowd.
Wen Haowen wanted to use Wen Xinya to cause trouble on the spot to show his attitude to everyone and make Wen Xinya's identity as the heir to the Wen Group questionable. This plan was extremely vicious.
However, Wen Haowen was wrong. He did not figure out the truth of the matter. He only saw Wen Wenya beating people, but did not notice the fact that Ning Shuqian had aroused public anger, so his plan was doomed to fail.
His inability to distinguish right from wrong and his blind favoritism towards Ning Shuqian made everyone feel ashamed.
However, at this time, Ning Shuqian had not yet realized this. She thought that Wen Haowen had come and defended her in public, so she could get rid of the embarrassment of stealing jewelry. She looked like she was about to cry, and said pitifully: "Haowen, I don't know what's going on with Xinya. She just insisted that I stole the Eternal Light. No matter how I explained, she was unwilling to believe it, and even..."
At this point, Ning Shuqian was heartbroken. She slowly raised her head, and her face, which was swollen and red from being beaten, was exposed in front of Wen Haowen.
Wen Haowen looked at the red and swollen face and took a deep breath, unable to believe what he saw.
Ning Shuqian saw his expression changing unpredictably, anger surging in his eyes, and she pulled Wen Haowen's hand sadly, and said anxiously: "Haowen, you... you quickly explain to Xinya that the Eternal Light was not stolen by me, but you gave it to me personally."
The reason why Ning Shuqian was able to control Wen Haowen, manipulate Wen Haowen, and play with Wen Haowen in the palm of her hand was because she knew Wen Haowen too well. At this moment, Wen Haowen's anger had been completely aroused by her.
Next... A faint and strange smile appeared at the corner of her lips. Wen Xinya would soon have to endure Wen Haowen's rage.
Wen Xinya probably didn't know that after these three years, Wen Haowen's temper had become even more violent than before.
Wen Haowen squeezed Wen Xinya's hand, and the force suddenly increased. The anger in his body was like a real flame of rage, which burst out instantly: "Wen Xinya, you vicious woman, the jewelry was given to your stepmother by me, what qualifications do you have to cause trouble and hit people?"
Wen Xinya slowly broke free from Wen Haowen's grip, a faint and cool smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "That is my mother's legacy..."
Wen Xinya didn't say anything extra, but everyone present understood what she meant. Giving the deceased wife's belongings to the mistress who killed her, as a daughter... how sad she must feel for her mother.
Wen Haowen didn't know why. He was clearly holding her wrist tightly, but when she struggled to break free, all his strength seemed to be vulnerable. This feeling of powerlessness made Wen Haowen furious: "It's just a loss of the world..."
Before he finished the rest of his words, he realized that he had said something out of turn. He subconsciously looked around and saw faces that were filled with contempt, disdain, and cold mockery. Suddenly, Wen Haowen felt a tightness in his chest, and a mouthful of blood got stuck in his throat. He couldn't swallow it, nor could he spit it out. He felt extremely uncomfortable.
Wen Xinya was slightly sad, and finished what Wen Haowen had not yet finished saying: "Yes... it's just a masterpiece..."
The clear and gentle voice revealed a hint of sarcasm.
Wen Haowen didn't know what to do for a moment. It was not until this moment that he realized that he shouldn't have shown up rashly.
Wen Xinya's expression darkened, and her face became stern, with a hint of sharpness: "Even if you don't have the slightest affection for my mother in your heart, but considering what she has done for the Wen family and the Wen Group, you shouldn't treat her legacy like this. And I... won't allow you to do this."
Yes, she would never allow Wen Haowen to do this.
Wen Haowen felt that behind him, there were people pointing fingers, talking and whispering, all of which were contemptuous of him. For a moment, he really didn't know how to be selfish.
Judging from his current behavior, he is clearly favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife!
In this circle, most men have big affairs at home and outside, but any man with conscience and reason will tacitly abide by the rules. No matter how they play outside, they will maintain respect for their wives, not to mention that the wife is already deceased. Even if there is no love, they cannot not give her the most basic respect!
Only then did Ning Shuqian realize that something was wrong, and she regretted it so much that her intestines turned green.
Wen Haowen's clarification not only failed to help her escape the embarrassing situation of stealing jewelry, but also dragged Wen Haowen into the water, making him despised by everyone.
In everyone's eyes, Wen Haowen is an unkind husband and an unkind father.
And she was convicted of the crime of instigating discord between the father and daughter of the Wen family, and naturally, she was also convicted of the crime of instigating discord between the father and son of the Wen family.
Ning Shuqian almost fainted from anger.
