Wen Haowen rushed into the living room angrily and saw Wen Xinya talking to a servant. He rushed forward and slapped Wen Xinya in the face.
"Pa!" The loud slap echoed in the living room. Wen Xinya tilted her head, covering her burning face, but her heart was filled with sadness.
"You beast, what are you doing?" Old Master Wen was in the study. Mother Wang hurried upstairs and said that Wen Haowen was back. He hurried downstairs and saw Haowen slapping Xinya without thinking.
The servants in the living room were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they huddled together, fearing that the little ghosts would suffer from the fight between the King of Hell and the King of Hell.
Ning Shuqian walked into the living room from the backyard and looked at this scene with a gloating light in her eyes. A feeling of pleasure of revenge arose from the depths of her heart.
"Haha!" Wen Xinya giggled and slowly turned her head. Her indifferent eyes were stained with tears, which were slightly beating and flashing with stubbornness. She raised her eyes and looked directly at Wen Haowen: "Dad, why did you hit me?"
Perhaps it was because her eyes were washed by tears and seemed particularly clear and bright, he felt that everything about him, including his soul, was seen through by these eyes. She saw through the unbearable thoughts beneath his handsome appearance. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed. The hand that had hit her felt numb and painful, as if it had touched a branding iron and was burned.
"You instigated your grandfather to kick Yuya out of the Wen family? Let me tell you, Yuya is the adopted daughter of the Wen family. You can't kick her out of the Wen family."
Wen Haowen's slaps were the same as in his previous life, always with such unreserved strength, as if he had a deep hatred for her. Wen Yuya's eyes became cold, and there seemed to be frost flashing in them: "Yes! Yuya is just the adopted daughter of the Wen family. There is a world of difference between us. We, the Wen family, can afford to give her food to eat. Why should I drive her out of the Wen family?"
Such contemptuous and bland words, as if Wen Yuya had never been taken seriously, made Wen Haowen speechless for a moment, and a surge of anger rose up in his heart: "You are still quibbling!"
Wen Xinya's eyes flashed with sadness and tenderness, as well as stubbornness and indifference. Two completely different emotions were displayed in those eyes, contradictory to each other, but more distressing: "If Dad thinks so, then so be it!"
She smiled faintly, but tears fell from her eyes for no reason. Smiling and crying at the same time made people feel extremely disheartened.
Old Master Wen felt more and more pity and guilt towards his granddaughter. He hurried down the stairs with big strides, and said in a cold and sharp voice, "It was me who kicked Wen Yuya out of the Wen family. Do you also want to slap me in the face like you did to Xinya?"
Such a terrifying and sharp voice immediately brought back Wen Haowen's rationality, but it did not extinguish his anger: "Dad, why do you talk like that? Am I such an unfilial person?"
Old Master Wen sneered, "You are not only unfilial, you are simply rebellious. I opposed you marrying Ning Shuqian, did you listen to me? I opposed letting Wen Yuya join our Wen family, did you listen to me? For everything else, which one of you did you listen to me willingly? I think you are simply blinded by greed and bewildered by ghosts."
Wen Haowen said angrily: "Dad, I know you despise Shu Qian because of her low social status, but our Wen family is not a snobbish family that despises the poor and loves the rich."
Old Master Wen was so angry that his face twitched and his hands were shaking. He was indirectly accusing him of being snobbish. He couldn't help but feel disappointed. He looked up and saw Ning Shuqian standing quietly at the back door of the living room, with malice in her eyes that she had not yet restrained.
Wen Haowen said angrily, "Dad, I don't agree with you kicking Yuya out of the Wen family, and I don't agree with you sending Yuya abroad. You can do whatever you want!"
Mr. Wen held the handrail at the entrance of the stairs tightly, with such force that the veins on the back of his hand popped out and throbbed. "You don't need to say more. I have already made up my mind about this matter. It is useless for anyone to object."
Wen Haowen didn't expect the old man to reject her so thoroughly. He shouted angrily, "Dad, Yuya has been the adopted daughter of the Wen family for fifteen years. You are so cruel and heartless. Aren't you afraid that others will criticize you?"
Old Master Wen sneered, "You value the reputation of the Wen family and your own face so much. Have you not read today's newspaper?"
Wen Haowen thought about when he went to the company today, the employees in the company seemed to be gathered together whispering something, and when they saw him coming, everyone scattered in panic. He just thought that his accumulated prestige made these employees afraid.
Hearing the old man say this, he thought about it and realized that today's newspapers were all about Wen Yuya, and there was nothing interesting to read. So when he heard the old man say this, he subconsciously rejected it: "Dad, don't change the subject. Anyway, I don't agree to kick Yuya out of the Wen family."
Old Master Wen was too lazy to talk to him any more: "I have already removed her household registration from the Wen family, and have informed the relevant departments that her name is not allowed to appear on the Wen family's household registration in the future."
The old man has always been the one who has the final say in the circle. He is also the one in power in the Wen family. As long as he speaks, everyone will give him some face. Wen Haowen's anger erupted all of a sudden: "Dad, if you must drive Yuya out of the Wen family, then Shu Qian and I will move out of the old house, and no one will bother anyone in the future."
Hearing the news, Mrs. Wen rushed back to the Wen family. As soon as she entered the door, she heard her son's words. She was immediately frightened and rushed over: "Haowen, Wen Yuya is just a burden. She can be kicked out. Why do you have to be so angry with your father and say such cruel words?"
Old Madam Wen has always looked down upon Ning Shuqian's background, so she has always been lukewarm towards her, and was even more dissatisfied with the burden she brought with her. So when she heard that the old man drove Wen Yuya out of the Wen family, she didn't think it was a big deal.
Old Master Wen sneered and said, "If that's the case, you should move out immediately. This small temple of the Wen family's old house can't accommodate a big Buddha like you."
When people get old, they naturally hope to have many children to sit around and enjoy the happiness of family life. However, when he saw the triumph and viciousness in Ning Shuqian's eyes, he already knew that Ning Shuqian wanted to separate Haowen from him and sever the remaining affection Haowen had for him. In the future, the whole family will live together with Xinya caught in the middle and Ning Shuqian will get involved. It may not be a good thing. It is better to let Haowen move out now so that the only affection between father and son can be preserved.
Old Mrs. Wen widened her eyes: "Old man, you took the wrong medicine, didn't you! Haowen lives well in the old house, why do you want him to move out? I don't agree!"
