Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 163: Being a stepmother is difficult

Views:

The news that Wen Yuya was kicked out of the Wen family and sent abroad and that Wen Haowen and his wife also moved out of the Wen family's old house spread like wildfire in the circle.

Wen Xinya moved into the Wen family's old house with a strong attitude. No one in the circle dared to question her status as the head of the Wen family and the heir.

No matter how this matter is spread outside, it has nothing to do with Wen Xinya. She listened to her grandfather's words and became more low-key during this period. She immersed herself in her studies and was not disturbed by any external affairs or objects.

Wen Xinya was holding a medical book and memorizing the classification, properties, effects, and applicable diseases of some Chinese medicines in it, when her cell phone suddenly rang.

She put down the book in her hand and picked up the phone. It was Ning Shuqian calling. She was stunned. Ning Shuqian hated her to death, but she actually called her. It was really a blessing in disguise.

However, Ning Shuqian always had a purpose for everything she did. She must have her own plans when she called her suddenly. Wen Xinya answered the phone with caution.

Wen Xinya didn't play coy with her, but came straight to the point and asked, "Aunt Ning, what's the matter with you calling me?"

Ning Shuqian's gentle voice came from the other end: "Nothing else, I just want to ask you out for a walk."

"Shopping?" Ning Shuqian called her just for shopping, which was really beyond her expectation.

Ning Shuqian said in a gentle and soft voice: "Yes, it seems like we haven't gone shopping together for a long time. I wonder if you have time today?"

She said it as if she and Ning Shuqian used to go shopping together often. If she remembered correctly, she and Ning Shuqian only went shopping together once when they just returned to the Wen family: "Okay! I happen to have nothing to do today, so let's go shopping together!"

She wanted to know what Ning Shuqian was up to. She didn't believe that Ning Shuqian would just stop being angry after Ning Yuya was sent abroad. On the contrary... she would do everything she could to vent her daughter's anger.

Ning Shuqian seemed particularly happy: "That's good. Ever since Yuya went abroad, it's been boring for me to go shopping alone every time."

Wen Xinya did not comment. Ning Yuya went abroad and she had Xia Ruya with her. She believed that Xia Ruya would be very happy to go shopping with her.

They agreed to meet at Mingzhu Road, and Wen Xinya asked the driver Xiao Tao to take her there.

When Wen Xinya went over, Ning Shuqian was already there and was waiting for her.

Ning Shuqian smiled gently: "Xinya, you are here."

Wen Xinya smiled and said, "Aunt Ning, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Ning Shuqian looked at her with a gentle expression and a gentle smile, playing the role of a gentle and kind stepmother just right: "I just arrived too. By the way, Xinya, you have moved into the Wen family's old house for quite a few days. Are you used to living here?"

Ning Shuqian's voice became gentler and gentler, as if her concern for her came from the heart without any hypocrisy or falsehood.

This is what Wen Xinya is really afraid of Ning Shuqian: "It's okay! Aunt Ning, you forgot that I lived in the old house for a few days before I moved to the Mo family for a short stay. How could I not be used to it?"

Ning Shuqian's expression froze for a moment, but soon returned to normal. She smiled, took her hand and patted it, saying, "Look at my memory. I actually forgot about this for a moment."

Wen Xinya smiled and said nothing.

Ning Shuqian changed the subject and asked, "How are your grandpa and grandma doing recently? Your dad is busy with work, and we haven't been back to see them since we moved out."

"It's still the same, except that grandma always talks about dad."

Ning Shuqian looked guilty: "When your dad is not busy at work in a few days, I will go back with him to see them."

"Grandma will be very happy."

While chatting, the two went to the Cartier diamond store. There were still quite a lot of people in the store at this time. A few ladies came up to greet Ning Shuqian and they seemed to have a good relationship.

Ning Shuqian didn't introduce herself to her, and she didn't want to say hello rashly, so she turned around and looked at the diamond jewelry on the counter.

"I brought Xinya here specially to see the jewelry." Ning Shuqian chatted with a few ladies with a smile. When she looked at Wen Xinya, her eyes were filled with a hint of flattery and caution.

Several ladies laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to be so nice to your stepdaughter and even take her out shopping."

"I heard that she used to be a little gangster who lived on the streets. It's definitely hard to get along with someone like her. I heard that she even sued more than a dozen newspapers and magazines. It's really hard for you to be so strong."

Ning Shuqian's face was a little stiff, and her panicked eyes subconsciously looked towards Wen Xinya, but she saw her looking at diamonds at the counter on the other side, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She turned her gaze back and unexpectedly met several pairs of sympathetic and understanding eyes. Her face became more and more stiff, and she could not help but force a smile: "Although Xinya's temper is a bit strong, she is not unreasonable."

Although Ning Shuqian said this, they did not believe it. Before that, Ning Shuqian looked afraid that their conversation would be heard by her stepdaughter Wen Xinya, and she looked at Wen Xinya's actions in panic, and they all saw it.

"Don't say anything, we all understand."

Ning Shuqian's face became increasingly stiff, but she didn't know what to say.

"It's hard to be a stepmother these days, Mrs. Zhang, you know that! Her stepdaughter actually smashed her head with a vase. If she hadn't been rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment, she would have died. When I went to the hospital to see her two days ago, she cried miserably and held my hand and said: I would rather eat bran and eat prostitutes in my next life than be a stepmother."

"Oh my God, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known. When I met her some time ago, she mentioned her stepdaughter and smiled and told me that she got along well with her stepdaughter. I didn't expect that she was so sad behind her back."

"You know what? The Zhang family is a well-known and wealthy family. If word gets out that she and her stepdaughter don't get along, wouldn't that make people laugh at her? Besides, it's hard to be a stepmother now. If this matter gets out, everyone will think it's her fault. After all, Mrs. Zhang's stepdaughter is only twelve years old this year."

Hearing this topic, Ning Shuqian's face became more and more sad, even with a hint of stiff paleness. She put on a pale and forced smile and said, "You guys chat first, I'll go over and accompany Xinya to look at diamonds."

However, she only talked about her stepmother for a few words before leaving in such a hurry, which made everyone more convinced of their guess.

Everyone couldn't help but think that Wen Xinya had moved back to the Wen family's old house since she returned to the dinner. First, Ning Shuqian's daughter Yuya was kicked out of the Wen family and sent abroad, and then Wen Haowen and his wife also moved out of the Wen family's old house. It seems that things here are not that simple.
