If she couldn't get Wen Xinya's forgiveness today, this matter would definitely not end well. The old man would definitely pursue the matter to the end. Neither she nor Yuya could bear the consequences. She would ask for her forgiveness even if it meant sacrificing her face.
"But when I returned to the Wen family, grandpa introduced you to me as my aunt, not my stepmother." Wen Xinya's young face was filled with innocence and confusion. She giggled. Her clear and cold voice seemed to contain fine pieces of ice and frost, which had already pierced deep into their hearts before others realized it, chilling them to the bone.
The forced smile on Ning Shuqian's face froze in an instant, and a feeling of cruelty suddenly rose in her heart. She didn't expect that Wen Xinya, this bitch, would be so disrespectful to her and even insult her in person.
Ning Shuqian's face was completely humiliated. She cursed Wen Xinya thousands of times in her heart. The innocent expression on her young face seemed to be mocking her status. She wanted to tear her face apart: "Xinya..."
"Shut up!" This time it was Old Master Wen who spoke, a terrible storm brewing on his face: "Don't think that just because Xinya forgave her, the matter will be over. Who the hell does she think she is? She insulted the legitimate eldest daughter of the Wen family and she wants to live in peace. Who do you think I am the eldest daughter of the Wen family?"
Ning Shuqian's face turned pale "Dad..."
Wen Yuya felt scared at this moment: "Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I will never scold my sister again. Please forgive me this time!"
Mr. Wen looked at her with a stern and cold look in his eyes: "Let me ask you, why did you lock Xinya in the bathroom at Xinya's introduction dinner yesterday?"
Wen Yuya's face turned pale, and she subconsciously shook her head to deny: "Grandpa, I did, it was my sister who wronged me. How could I do such a thing? My sister is the eldest daughter of the Wen family. If something goes wrong at the introduction dinner, it will also be our Wen family that will be embarrassed. Although there are some misunderstandings between my sister and I, I will not do such a thing that harms the interests of the Wen family." Then she looked at Wen Yuya again, with disappointment and sadness flashing in her eyes: "Sister, why did you frame me like this!"
Wen Xinya then realized that birds of a feather flock together. She thought only Xia Ruya would act pitiful and play the role of a little white flower, but she didn't expect that Wen Yuya's acting skills could actually win an Oscar. No matter how perfect she pretended to be before, she could never show her true feelings like she does now.
On the day of the dinner, she was locked in the bathroom by Wen Yuya. She just gave a brief hint to the public relations manager of Tengfei Public Relations Company and mentioned the matter of the camera. Unexpectedly, he was smart and recognized the situation clearly.
Ning Shuqian also agreed, "Dad, I knew Xinya was locked in the bathroom yesterday. Xinya misunderstood that it was Yuya who did it. I have already asked Yuya, and it was not Yuya who did it. Although Yuya is a little spoiled on weekdays, she would not do such a thing of fighting among herself." Then she looked at Wen Xinya, her eyes full of heartache for her: "Xinya, although there is a misunderstanding between you and Yuya, I believe Yuya will not harm you."
She had already asked yesterday and it was indeed Yuya who did it, but she had inquired about the situation in detail and knew that as long as she refused to admit it, no one could pin the incident on Yuya.
Old Master Wen sneered at the mother and daughter, who were acting and talking to themselves like monkeys at play, and said slowly, "Xinya didn't tell me about this."
Ning Shuqian and Wen Yuya were suddenly struck by lightning. Wen Yuya slightly opened her lips, but the words she was about to say were stuck in her throat.
Mr. Wen sneered and said, "Have you forgotten the surveillance in New Century Manor?"
Wen Yuya's body softened and she slid to the ground. All the strength in her body seemed to be drained away in an instant.
Ning Shuqian was speechless. Looking at the sneer on the old man's face, she felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to her heart, making her feel suffocated. She suddenly pushed Wen Yuya to the ground, knelt on the ground and kept beating and scolding Wen Yuya: "How could you do this to your sister? Have you forgotten who raised you to this age, who provided you with food and clothing, and who gave you the surname of the Wen family? How could I raise an ungrateful dog like you?"
“Mom, it hurts, please stop hitting me, it hurts… I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong…” Wen Yuya crawled on the ground, huddled up, wailing and crying, the hatred in her heart churning constantly, as if it wanted to break her heart.
Ning Shuqian's hands kept falling on her body, each time very hard, Wen Yuya's exposed skin had already turned purple: "I always tell you that you are the adopted daughter of the Wen family, and you should always remember the kindness of the Wen family. Have you ignored my words? Have you forgotten everything? You really disappoint me!"
Wen Xinya watched coldly the drama directed and performed by Ning Shuqian and her daughter, with a cold look on the corners of her lips. Looking at the scratch on Wen Yuya's arm, it was obvious that Ning Shuqian had used a lot of heavy hands to make a big deal out of a small matter in front of the old man.
But, so what
As the legitimate eldest daughter of the Wen family, she still needs to get her grandfather's approval before she can be legitimate after being brought back to the Wen family. As an adopted daughter who has never been recognized by the Wen family, why does she think that she can live in peace by just acting like this
Naive! Stupid!
Ning Shuqian scolded until she was heartbroken, tears kept falling down, and she slapped him hard and fast, looking like she had gone crazy: "It's all my fault that I indulged you too much and made you so willful and capricious. It's also my fault..." As she said that, she slapped herself hard.
The loud slap caused blood to flow from the corner of Ning Shuqian's mouth. She seemed unaware and let the blood flow down the corner of her mouth, dripping onto the smooth and bright floor, blooming into a charming flower.
Through her tearful eyes, she saw Wen Yuya lying on the ground in a curled up ball, her body covered with marks from her scratching, twisting, and slapping. Her heart felt like it was bitten fiercely by a demon with its sharp teeth that flashed with cold light. She felt excruciating pain, but she was powerless to do anything.
She looked up at Wen Xinya. She sat quietly on the sofa and looked at them. Her clear eyes reflected their embarrassment, as if she was the brightest star in the sky, dazzling, high above, but looking down on all living beings, as if she was born to be so noble, as if she was born to despise them, making her suddenly feel small and humble, crawling on the ground.
A crazy hatred suddenly rose in her heart. Bitch, I won't let it go like this. Sooner or later, I will get back everything I've lost with interest.
