Ning Shuqian picked out a complete set of blue diamond jewelry. The texture and style of the blue diamond jewelry were extremely beautiful, but Ning Shuqian's eyes still flashed with a discerning light when she looked at the necklace.
Although this necklace is very beautiful, it is in no way comparable to the Ocean Star necklace that the Wen family gave to Mo Yunyao. The entire diamond weighs more than 40 carats and is one of the few large diamonds in the world. Now the Ocean Star is in the old man's hands.
Ning Shuqian's eyes sparkled. She was thinking of finding an opportunity to persuade Haowen to get the Ocean Star for her. Otherwise, it would just be given to that little bitch Wen Xinya for nothing. How could a little girl with yellow hair wear such a precious and elegant diamond like the Ocean Star with such elegance? Only she could match it.
Wen Xinya was shocked when she saw Ning Shuqian paid the money readily. A whole set of blue diamonds cost more than 8 million, and Ning Shuqian was so generous.
Ning Shuqian smiled and said, "Aunt Ning's birthday is in two days. Your father is holding a birthday party for me at the Pearl Hotel. Xinya, you must come then!"
She begged Haowen for a long time to attend this birthday party before Haowen reluctantly agreed. Ning Shuqian knew that if Yuya had not been kicked out of the Wen family and sent abroad, Haowen would not have agreed.
After all, the old man has never acknowledged her identity to the outside world, so her status in the circle is awkward. Haowen naturally can't hold a birthday party for her in a grand manner. If it gets out, outsiders will probably think that Haowen is singing against the old man for her, which will not be good for Haowen's reputation.
This was her first birthday party, and this set of blue diamonds worth more than eight million was the accessories she had chosen specifically for the party. She was determined to be the center of attention that day, solidifying her identity as the wife of the Wen family and making sure that everyone attending the party would not dare to look down on her.
"Dad is going to hold a birthday party for you in a hotel?" Wen Xinya was shocked and subconsciously looked towards Ning Shuqian. She actually forgot such an important thing as Ning Shuqian's birthday.
"Yes! I was quite surprised too. The time is set for eight o'clock the day after tomorrow evening." Ning Shuqian's lips curled up in a gentle smile, her slightly raised eyebrows carrying a hint of pride.
"Does my grandfather know that you are holding a birthday party?" Wen Haowen actually wanted to hold a birthday party for Ning Shuqian. This was really beyond her expectations.
But if you think about it carefully, Wen Haowen agreed to hold a birthday party for Ning Shuqian probably because he wanted to compensate Ning Yuya for being kicked out of the Wen family and sent abroad. On the other hand, Wen Haowen was upset about moving out of the Wen family's old house, so he deliberately took this opportunity to disgust her and intimidate her.
Ning Shuqian's smile froze a little, but she quickly returned to normal: "It was your father who insisted on holding a birthday party for me, and I couldn't stop him. Your father may have already told your grandfather!"
"So that's how it is! No wonder Aunt Ning bought such beautiful accessories, it turns out she was preparing for a birthday party." Wen Xinya guessed that Wen Haowen had not told grandfather at all, nor did he plan to tell grandfather. He was planning to hold a birthday party for Ning Shuqian without telling grandfather.
Ning Shuqian took her hand and looked at her affectionately and said, "Xinya, will you go to Aunt Ning's birthday party?"
Wen Xinya didn't know how to answer for a moment. She looked at Ning Shuqian with some embarrassment and said, "Aunt Ning, I..."
She finally understood why Ning Shuqian had gone to such great lengths to ask her out today. Ning Shuqian had deliberately invited her shopping and given her expensive jewelry to show her gentle and amiable stepmother demeanor in front of others.
When it was Ning Shuqian's birthday party, if she didn't attend it, this matter would be exposed, and with Ning Shuqian's gentle and kind attitude, everyone would think she was overbearing and intolerant of her stepmother. The birthday party was initiated by Wen Haowen, and if she didn't go to the party as the chairman, outsiders would think she was arrogant and didn't even give face to her father.
After all, as soon as she returned to the Wen family, Ning Yuya was kicked out of the family and sent abroad, and Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen also moved out of the Wen family's old house. This is a fact, and outsiders only know one side of the grievances in the Wen family, but not the other.
If she attended Ning Shuqian's birthday party, it would mean that she was implicitly acknowledging Ning Shuqian's identity as her stepmother and building momentum for Ning Shuqian. Her identity as the heir to the Wen family was recognized by her grandfather in front of the entire upper class at the homecoming introduction dinner. Her recognition of Ning Shuqian's identity as her stepmother was equivalent to the Wen family recognizing her identity.
It doesn't matter whether you go or not.
This was the trap that Ning Shuqian had set for her.
Ning Shuqian was so calculating that she actually came up with such a way to deal with her. She really underestimated Ning Shuqian.
Ning Shuqian held her hand, her expression becoming softer: "Xinya, Aunt Ning sincerely invites you. This is the first time Aunt Ning is holding a birthday party, and I really hope you can attend."
Wen Xinya lowered her head and said, "Aunt Ning, how about this! If grandpa and grandma go to your birthday party, then I will go with them."
Naturally, grandpa and grandma would not lower themselves to attend Ning Shuqian's birthday party.
Ning Shuqian looked at her with a sad look in her eyes: "Xinya, I know you can't accept me as your stepmother, and I won't force you, but I hope you can think about it carefully. Even if you don't consider my face, please consider your father's face and attend my birthday party."
"Aunt Ning, you know grandpa..." If you want to act, you have to play it to the fullest. Since Ning Shuqian can act, she will accompany him to the end.
Ning Shuqian's eyes overflowed with tears: "It's Aunt Ning's fault. I just wanted to prevent your father from being too embarrassed, but it was too difficult for you, a child."
This kind of compromise made it seem as if Wen Xinya had bullied her.
"Aunt Ning always thinks of Dad, I'm very touched. In that case, Aunt Ning might as well persuade Dad not to hold this birthday party!" Wen Haowen took great pains to hold a birthday party for Ning Shuqian, but in the end no one from the Wen family showed up. This was indeed embarrassing, and it was not good for his reputation. Wouldn't Ning Shuqian let people know that she was an unfilial daughter
Ning Shuqian widened her eyes and suddenly looked towards Wen Xinya. The gloom in the depths of her eyes, which had not yet been concealed, was suddenly exposed in front of Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya's face was panicked, and she shrank her shoulders in fear: "Aunt Ning, I...did I say something wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Ning Shuqian quickly restrained her emotions and said softly, "You are right. I should persuade your father again. I can't let your father do what he wants."
This little bitch is so sharp-tongued, but so what? She is destined to suffer this time.
I wish you all a happy new year and all your wishes come true!!
