"Dad!" Wen Xinya called out softly, holding back her tears. Although she had experienced the Wen family's ruthlessness towards her in her previous life and thought she wouldn't care, why did she feel so unwilling, humiliated, angry and sad
What did I do wrong that you never gave me a chance and just denied me like this
For some reason, Wen Haowen looked at her extremely elegant outfit. Her eyes, which were filled with tears, were like fresh dew, flashing crystal clear ripples. Her trembling eyelashes were like flower stamens exposed to the deep spring chill. She looked so delicate and helpless that he couldn't help but think of his deceased wife. Thinking that she might have heard what he said in the study before, he felt a sense of emptiness.
But that trace of pretense was quickly replaced by anger: "The adults were talking, and you stood outside the door and eavesdropped. What an uneducated person."
Wen Xinya gently closed her eyes, and a crystal clear tear fell from her eye socket, sliding down her cheek into her lips. The taste was so bitter, so astringent, and so painful...
She told herself that this was the last time she would shed tears for the Wen family.
When she opened her eyes again, they were clear, with some tears still in them, like ice and snow just beginning to melt, with a bone-chilling chill: "I am indeed uneducated, because you, because of the Wen family, have never educated me for a single day."
Therefore, you have no right to scold me like this!
Wen Haowen understood the emotion in her eyes and immediately flew into a rage: "You evil girl, what's wrong with me, your father, giving you a few words of advice? Is that wrong?"
Wen Xinya said calmly: "Dad should teach me a lesson."
Such a bland tone made Wen Haowen's anger seem like he was venting it on a ball of cotton. He didn't even have the strength to do anything. He was so angry that he threw his arms behind his back and strode away.
The door of the study was opened again, and Mrs. Wen came out angrily. Seeing Wen Xinya standing at the door, her face turned cold: "Seeing that the whole Wen family has been in turmoil because of you, you are happy now, right?"
Wen Xinya shook her head in panic: "Grandma, I..."
Just as Mrs. Wen was about to teach her a lesson, the old man Wen's sighing voice came from the study: "Xinya, come in!"
Wen Xinya looked at Old Madam Wen apologetically, then lowered her head and entered the study: "Grandpa, you haven't had breakfast yet, I brought it to you specially."
Old Master Wen looked up at her with her eyebrows lowered. She was reserved and cautious, as if she were an outsider. It seemed that she had heard those words: "I don't have any appetite, so I won't eat breakfast."
In fact, if you think about it carefully, Haowen proposed to send Xinya abroad. Although his starting point was a bit selfish and cruel, it might not be a bad thing for Xinya and the Wen family. Education abroad is indeed better than that in China. There is nothing wrong with sending her abroad for reform for a few years. He can also take this opportunity to see if she can become an outstanding eldest lady of the Wen family and be qualified for the identity of the heir of the Wen family.
Wen Xinya's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her head without saying a word.
Mr. Wen sighed: "Xinya you..."
Want to go abroad
Wen Xinya suddenly raised her head and looked at Grandpa Wen, interrupting him abruptly: "Grandpa, I happened to hear Aunt Wang mention that I have a grandpa, so I want to go see him."
Grandpa has been shaken. He seems to be questioning her, but in his heart he has already leaned towards Wen Haowen. She has finally got her grandfather to support her, and she can't let Ning Shuqian ruin it, and she can't let the Wen family send her abroad. The only way is to stay with her grandfather for a while.
Wen Haowen, Ning Shuqian and the others wanted to send her abroad, but they failed to convince grandfather. Ning Shuqian must have another trick up her sleeve. Thinking of what Ning Shuqian had done in her previous life to drive her out of the Wen family, Wen Wenya felt a chill in her heart. It is easy to dodge an open attack, but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. It would be good if she could take this opportunity to avoid Ning Shuqian.
This sentence seemed to give her great courage. She looked at her grandfather firmly and repeated it again, showing her determination: "Grandpa, I want to stay at my grandfather's house for a while."
Wen Xinya knew from the memories of her previous life that Wen Haowen was very afraid of her grandfather, and her grandfather's status as a leading figure in the literary world also made many people feel in awe. So if she went to stay at her grandfather's house for a while, Wen Haowen would definitely be afraid. No matter how powerful Ning Shuqian was, she would not dare to do anything without Wen Haowen's support.
This move of retreating in order to advance aroused Grandpa's inner guilt towards her. If Ning Shuqian did anything weird again in the future, Grandpa would naturally have more to think about.
Mr. Wen was stunned and silent for a while. After a long sigh, he said, "Okay, your grandpa called me two days ago and said he wanted to meet you, but because you just came back, I didn't agree. I was planning to take you to meet your grandpa in a while, but I didn't expect..."
He did not continue the conversation. Since she did not mention the matter about the study, he would not mention it either. Although he wanted to send her abroad, he would still respect her wishes. But she herself proposed to stay at the Mo family for a while, so he would naturally not refuse.
"Thank you, Grandpa! I heard from Aunt Wang before that I am his only relative, so I have always wanted to find an opportunity to visit him. Now is my chance." Wen Xinya had a smile on her lips, but her voice was a little choked and tears welled up in her eyes. The tears seemed to be full of resentment, and they kept beating and circling in her eye sockets, but they never fell.
Old Master Wen was filled with mixed emotions as he endured the grievance and tried to find a way out for him. "You might as well go over and accompany your grandpa. Your grandpa only has your mother as his daughter. Since your mother passed away, he has no other relatives around him. He was not close to Ru before."
"I will spend more time with grandpa on behalf of my mother and do my best to be filial to her." Wen Xinya's voice was choked with sourness. After her rebirth, she had actually seen things clearly. In her previous life, it was Ning Shuqian, Wen Yuya and Xia Ruya who pushed her into the abyss of no return. But if the Wen family had not always put profit first, she would not have ended up like that.
Mr. Wen was very pleased: "You are a good child!"
Wen Xinya held back her tears and remained silent.
Old Master Wen looked at her trembling shoulders, his heart aching, as if trying to convince himself: "Your grandfather is very knowledgeable, you will definitely be able to learn a lot."
“I… I know!”
Old Master Wen pulled her into his arms and gently stroked her head. "I'm old and useless. I can't take care of many things at home. I'm sorry that you've been wronged. I'll let Aunt Wang clean up for you. I'll take you to your grandpa in a while."
Wen Xinya knew that because she had just returned to the Wen family, everything she showed was not recognized by her grandfather. Her grandfather also doubted whether she could really become the eldest daughter of the Wen family who was the focus of everyone's attention, rather than a street girl who brought shame to the Wen family, so he gave up on her temporarily.
