After Mrs. Wen left, Ning Shuqian's eyes flashed with a hint of cruelty, and her eyes flashed with obvious fear and uneasiness: "Haowen, this is not good! My parents are old, and if we move out alone, will we give people a reason to talk about us..."
In fact, she was already very happy in her heart. She could move out of the Wen family and live outside. She wouldn't have to look at the old man and the old lady's faces, and she wouldn't have to live under the same roof with Wen Ya. In the other home, she would be the real hostess. Naturally, she was eager for such a life.
Wen Haowen said, "There's nothing wrong with that. Dad only has eyes for his granddaughter now, so there's no room for us. It's just right for us to move out so we don't get in her way."
Over the years, he had thought about moving out of the Wen family more than once, but he was the old man's only child after all, and moving out like this would easily lead to criticism from outsiders. This time, he took this opportunity to move out of the Wen family and show his position.
Outsiders would certainly think that he and Wen Xinya have a bad relationship. This is a matter between father and daughter. As a father, he is the best parent in the world. Outsiders would not say anything to him. They would just keep speculating about Wen Xinya, and would never scold him for being unfilial!
Ning Shuqian looked at Wen Xinya again, with a hint of flattery in her eyes: "After all, Xinya just returned to the Wen family from the Mo family. If we move out like this, I don't know what outsiders will think. Will this affect the reputation of the Wen family?"
Wen Haowen's face turned livid. Looking at her cautious words and flattering expression, his eyes also turned cold and hard: "You don't have to be afraid of her everywhere. In terms of status, you are her stepmother and an elder. She should respect you."
Ning Shuqian lowered her head all of a sudden, wanting to say something but stopping herself, as if she had something to hide.
Wen Haowen's face turned ugly, and his sinister eyes suddenly shot towards Wen Xinya: "Come here!"
Wen Xinya looked up at Wen Haowen in confusion: "Dad, you called me?"
Wen Haowen's face was filled with impatience, and his tone was extremely bad: "Just come over when I told you to. Why are you talking so much?"
A dark light flashed in Wen Xinya's eyes, and her aura became fainter. Although she was extremely disgusted with Wen Haowen, she would not openly disobey him, so she still walked over obediently.
Ning Shuqian looked at her with pride in her eyes.
Wen Xinya looked at Ning Shuqian, her cold eyes filled with countless strange and cold thoughts, but when Wen Haowen looked at her, her eyelids moved slightly and she suppressed all the coldness.
Wen Haowen looked at her coldly, his eyes gloomy: "Your stepmother and I are moving out of the old house today. From now on, you will be the only descendant to take care of your grandpa and grandma. You must take good care of your grandpa and grandma. If anything happens to them, I will hold you accountable."
Wen Xinya understood at this moment that Wen Haowen was deliberately using her to demonstrate in front of Ning Shuqian to support her. Her eyes became colder and colder: "Dad, don't worry, I will naturally be happy with my grandparents."
What the later generations should do is to take care of the elderly.
With these words, Wen Haowen couldn't find any fault, but he always felt that something was wrong. He couldn't understand the meaning for a moment, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.
Ning Shuqian understood the implication immediately and looked at Wen Xinya with a panicked look on her face: "Your father and I cannot live with your grandparents. As your father's only daughter, you must take good care of them for him and put your father at ease so that he can work without any worries."
It is natural for a daughter to be filial to her father. Wen Haowen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Your stepmother is right. She is a reasonable person. You should learn more from her. After all, you have been living away from home for fifteen years and have such adoptive parents. Fortunately, you have your stepmother, so I don't have to worry about your upbringing."
Ning Shuqian's eyes flashed with joy, and she quickly said, "If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me."
Wen Xinya watched the two of them singing the same tune, and she understood at once that Wen Haowen's move was actually to openly clear Ning Shuqian's name. She felt even colder in her heart: "I have my own mother. Although my mother is gone, I still have my grandfather and grandfather. You don't have to worry about my upbringing. Besides, I am the eldest daughter of the Wen family, and not just anyone is qualified to raise me."
The smile on Ning Shuqian's face froze. She originally thought that Wen Xinya would not dare to openly oppose Haowen and would naturally acknowledge her identity. Who knew that she would not even buy into Haowen's account and even openly embarrassed her: "Xinya, what do you mean by this? After all, I am your father's wife who was married with a formal matchmaker. Even if you don't consider my face, you have to consider your father's face. You say this to me, doesn't it mean that you don't take your father seriously? How can your father bear this!"
As expected, Wen Haowen was furious because of Wen Wenya's words. When he heard Ning Shufu's words, he was even more furious: "You evil girl, you don't even listen to me?"
Wen Xinya said calmly, "Dad, I naturally dare not disobey you, but grandpa is the elder in the family, so naturally I have to listen to grandpa first."
Wen Haowen was speechless: "You evil creature!"
Wen Xinya still stood in front of him with her back straight, her facial expression remained calm, not changing at all because of his scolding.
Wen Haowen felt like he had punched cotton and had no strength at all. He angrily said to the people upstairs, "Mom! I'm leaving. If I stay any longer, I'm afraid someone will make a nest over my head."
Having said that, he turned around and left with big strides.
There was a cold light flashing in Wen Haowen's sinister eyes. Even if he moved out of the Wen family, he would not let Wen Xinya, who appeared from nowhere, have an easy life.
Old Madam Wen ran down from upstairs and chased after him, shouting, "Haowen, Haowen, Haowen, if you move out like this, your dad will definitely be unhappy and will be even more dissatisfied with you. What's more, if you move out, this old house will become someone's world, and she can do whatever she wants in the old house? Don't be impulsive..."
"Mom... stop talking. Wen Xinya is my daughter after all. Although I despise her vulgar appearance and have some opinions about her past, she is my own flesh and blood after all. But that evildoer didn't even take me seriously. What I said was like the wind blowing in one ear and another. How can I still have the face to stay in the Wen family?" Wen Haowen's angry voice came into the living room from outside the door.
Then the sound faded away until it could no longer be heard.
Ning Shuqian didn't get any benefit from Wen Xinya, and she was thinking about the 5% shares, so she naturally didn't dare to break up with her and had to go back to her room to pack her things.
