Early the next morning, Wen Xinya changed into the green long dress embroidered with peach blossoms. Her three thousand black hair was tied up with a large green jade carved rose hairpin. The green jade roses at her ears had thin and transparent petals, and long silver stamens extended out from the flowers and hung at her ears. The tips of the long stamens were dotted with noble topaz, which trembled with her movement and stillness.
Such elegant dress makes her look even more pure and clear!
Wen Xinya's mouth contained a gentle and elegant smile, "Good morning, Grandpa and Grandma, good morning, Dad and Aunt Ning!"
Old Master Wen nodded, and the seriousness and hardness on his face softened a lot: "Come sit next to Grandpa."
Wen Xinya smiled and walked over and sat down.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became weird, Wen Xinya immediately went into full gear. Ning Shuqian and her daughter didn't get anything good from her yesterday, so she would definitely not give up. In this family, old lady Wen loves her son dearly, and Wen Haowen is willing to be manipulated by Ning Shuqian.
Wen Yuya smiled sweetly: "Sister, why do you get up later than us every morning? It seems like the whole family is waiting for you alone."
"Don't make fun of your sister." Ning Shuqian glanced at her, then looked at Wen Xinya, with a smile on her face and a kind and gentle look: "Xinya, your sister is a person who speaks without restraint, you know that, so don't argue with her. By the way! Did you sleep well last night?"
With just a few words, Wen Yuya's provocation was turned into a joke. Finally, she changed the subject with a simple greeting. She naturally couldn't keep pestering him: "Thank you Aunt Ning for your concern. I was shopping all day yesterday and was so tired that I fell asleep on the bed and slept until dawn."
The smile on Ning Shuqian's lips deepened, and she looked at Wen Haowen tenderly.
Wen Haowen looked at Wen Wenya with a sullen face. After she changed her clothes, she seemed like a different person. Her whole temperament became noble and elegant. But so what? No matter how she looked on the outside, it could not change her inner vulgarity.
"You are the eldest daughter of the Wen family. Your words and deeds represent the Wen family. You have just returned to the Wen family. You must know what you can and cannot do. Don't bring your street-going demeanor to the Wen family. If outsiders know about this, how can our Wen family put up a good face?"
"Dad, I get it!" Wen Xinya lowered her head aggrievedly. It seemed that it was because of Ning Shuqian's whispering in his ear yesterday.
Wen Haowen felt a surge of anger when he heard her timid and aggrieved voice: "You know you're still going to those shady places. If the media knew about this, I don't know what they would write about it. You don't have the face to do it, but we, Wen, still have the face to do it."
Wen Xinya was immediately shocked by Wen Haowen's anger. She looked up at him blankly, her eyes misty and innocent, as if she didn't understand what he meant. "Dad, did I do something wrong?"
Wen Haowen was furious at her innocent expression and was about to teach her a lesson when Old Man Wen slammed the newspaper in his hand onto the coffee table and said sternly, "Xinya is your daughter. How can you talk like that? Can't you just talk about it calmly? Why do you have to play a big show with gongs and drums so early in the morning?"
Wen Haowen glanced at Wen Xinya sharply, and looked at Old Man Wen with dissatisfaction: "Dad, I'm her father, can't I teach her a lesson? Why don't you ask her what good things she has done? Now it's spread in the circle that our Wen family's eldest daughter is arrogant, violent, and vulgar."
"Xinya has only been back at the Wen family for a few days, and her reputation has already spread throughout the circle. Do you have any brains? It's obvious that someone is deliberately taking advantage of this issue."
Old Master Wen was somewhat disappointed with Wen Haowen. Xinya was his own flesh and blood, with his blood flowing in her body. Even if her bones were broken, her tendons were still connected. Although they had been living away from home for fifteen years and there was no affection between the two of them, he didn't hate her so much.
Wen Haowen was unconvinced and said, "If she didn't have that kind of past, others would naturally have nothing to say."
Old Master Wen sighed and said, "What happened before Xinya returned to the Wen family was because we, the Wen family, owed her something, so we let her fall into this state. Let's not mention it again in the future."
After saying that, Mr. Wen stood up from his chair and went upstairs to the study.
"Dad!" Wen Haowen chased after him relentlessly.
"What a sin! Ever since you came back to the Wen family, we have been living in unrest. It was not like this when Ruya was here." Old Mrs. Wen glared at Wen Wenya fiercely. Fearing that the father and son would start quarreling, she followed them.
Only Wen Xinya, Ning Shuqian and Wen Yuya were left in the living room.
Wen Yuya raised her eyebrows high, with a look of pride on her face: "Don't think that you are the real eldest daughter of the Wen family just because you return to the Wen family. Grandpa is the only one in this family who recognizes you."
Wen Xinya clenched her hands on her knees into fists, her knuckles turning white. Her sharp nails pierced the tender flesh of her palms, causing her heart aching. She took a deep breath and pushed back the tears that were overflowing in her eyes: "I am the eldest daughter of the Wen family. This is an indisputable fact."
Every word he spoke was so powerful and resounding, carrying an irrefutable momentum. His eyes were cold, flashing with tiny bits of indifference and a hint of coldness, leaving Wen Yuya stunned and not knowing how to refute.
"Why are you so provocative to me? Are you jealous of me?" She chewed on the last four words, her expression changing unpredictably. It was gentle at first, but slowly became colder and colder, and finally chilled to the bone.
Wen Yuya shuddered subconsciously, and her slow emotions finally came to her senses. Wen Wenya's words were like a sharp arrow piercing her heart. Wen Yuya's face was twisted with resentment: "Don't talk nonsense. What is there for me to be jealous of? Do you know Western dining etiquette? Do you know ballroom dancing? Do you know how to taste red wine? I know everything you don't know. I'm just a rough girl who grew up outside, a gangster who hangs out on the streets. Don't think you are so noble."
Wen Xinya sneered: "I am indeed not noble, but the title of the eldest lady of the Wen family is very noble."
Wen Yuya suddenly stood up from the sofa: "You..."
Ning Shuqian held Wen Yuya's hand and patted her gently to comfort her: "The title of the eldest daughter of the Wen family is indeed noble, but not everyone can bring out the nobility."
Wen Yuya seemed to have thought of it, and her anger disappeared. She had a gloating smile on her face: "What's the point of being able to talk? You can't even protect yourself. Why are you still being so proud here? You don't even know how you're going to die in a while."
Wen Yuya's words made Wen Xinya feel a strong sense of crisis.
Ning Shuqian pulled Wen Yuya and said, "Mother Wang, send someone to deliver breakfast to my yard later."
Wen Xinya was the only one left in the living room. At this time, Wang's mother was about to go upstairs with breakfast. Wen Xinya called Wang's mother and said, "Wang's mother, is this grandpa's breakfast? Leave it to me! I'll take it up."
Naturally, Mother Wang happily handed the breakfast to Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya brought breakfast to Mr. Wen's study. As soon as she reached the door, she heard a fierce quarrel inside.
