At this time, Wen Haowen came over with Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya.
Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya walked behind Wen Haowen, the two of them chatting and laughing, and their relationship was harmonious, which attracted the attention of everyone at the banquet.
Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya's close relationship is well-known in the circle, and now her relationship with the real eldest daughter of the Wen family is not harmonious, which is also widely spread in the circle.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked at Wen Xinya meaningfully.
When Wen Haowen saw Mr. Wen and Wen Xinya near the booth, his face turned a little ugly: "Dad, why are you here? Haven't you participated in activities in the circle for a long time?"
Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya were also slightly startled, as if they didn't expect them to come over, especially Xia Ruya, the smile on her face suddenly became cautious.
Old Master Wen said calmly: "Bring Xinya out to see the world. After all, she is the bloodline of the Wen family and the heir of the Wen family. Since you, the old man, have moved out of the Wen family, I, an old man, have to do the hard work for you."
Old Master Wen glanced at Xia Ruya meaningfully. He did not see any members of the Xia family at the banquet, so Xia Ruya must have come with his son and Ning Shuqian. He thought that he could make his position clear and discredit Xinya by bringing someone else's daughter instead of his own daughter. However, he did not know that people in the circle were laughing at him.
Mr. Wen's words made Xia Ruya's face turn pale. She wanted to explain to him, but it was not a good idea to interrupt him in such an occasion.
Wen Haowen's face froze: "Ruya just wants to see the world, I..."
The atmosphere was a little stiff. Wen Xinya happily walked to Wen Haowen's side, with a hint of cautious flattery, and her voice was full of surprise and expectation: "Dad, you are here too. You have been busy recently and have not returned to the old house to see me and grandpa. Grandpa has been talking about you all the time."
After all, it was a public place, so Wen Haowen didn't dislike her anymore, nor did he embarrass her by turning his face away on the spot. He just nodded lightly, with the expression on his face being extremely indifferent.
The light in Wen Xinya's eyes dimmed all of a sudden, but she forced herself to greet Ning Shuqian, her tone sounding a little cold: "Hello, Aunt Ning!"
But he completely ignored Xia Ruya.
Ning Shuqian had an eager smile on her face. She stepped forward and took her hand and said, "Xinya, how have you been lately?"
Ever since I saw Wen Xinya, I have been looking at her. When I saw that she was wearing a complete set of pigeon blood ruby accessories, I couldn't help but feel envy and jealousy in my heart. Pigeon blood rubies have always been the top type of gemstones, more rare and precious than diamonds. Such a complete set of pigeon blood rubies must be at least seven or eight carats and worth up to tens of millions.
She had never worn such expensive jewelry before. The old man was really willing to spend a lot of money on Wen Xinya.
In such an occasion, Ning Shuqian naturally had to express her gentleness and generosity, and show how good her stepmother was to her. She naturally had to cooperate well, so she suddenly pulled her hand back and looked at Ning Shuqian with a sharp gaze: "It's still the same!"
Ning Shuqian was very happy with Wen Xinya's performance. The more Wen Xinya didn't give her face in front of everyone, the better it was for her: "I didn't expect you to come here. I should have made an appointment earlier."
Wen Xinya said calmly: "I came here with grandpa."
Wen Xinya's words made Ning Shuqian's expression suddenly freeze.
Many people around saw this situation and saw that Ning Shuqian's expression was different again. After all, Grandpa Wen was the elder. When meeting in such an occasion, she should have greeted Grandpa Wen first, but she greeted her stepdaughter first. Such behavior was a bit artificial. Everyone couldn't help but think of the rumors about Wen Xinya in the circle. It seemed that they were all Ning Shuqian's one-sided words, and Wen Xinya had never expressed anything.
Ning Shuqian quickly made amends and greeted Mr. Wen with a smile: "Dad, you are here too. You haven't participated in activities in the circle for a long time."
What I mean is that I didn't expect Mr. Wen to come, so I didn't see him for a while.
However, few people believed such an allegation. For such a large-scale dinner, could the eldest daughter of the Wen family come alone, except coming with old man Wen
Old Master Wen glanced at her indifferently, then looked away without paying any attention to her.
Wen Hao felt embarrassed and couldn't help but said, "Dad, there are so many people watching us, you should at least give Shu Qian some face. It's not good for me to be like this."
Mr. Wen turned around and spoke to Wen Xinya: "Many old friends came to the banquet. I introduced them to you at the introductory dinner before. I will take you over to say hello to them and get to know them better!"
Wen Xinya naturally nodded and agreed: "Okay!"
The atmosphere suddenly became strange. Wen Haowen was angry but dared not say anything. Ning Shuqian stood aside awkwardly, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She was at a loss as to what to do. Her wet eyes were fixed on Wen Haowen with a look of grievance.
Xia Ruya hurriedly stepped forward with a sweet and gentle smile on her face, and called softly, "Grandpa Wen, your body is still as strong as before."
Seeing Xia Ruya, the smile on Mr. Wen's face faded, but after all, he couldn't bear to treat her coldly after raising her by his side for twelve years. He said indifferently, "Yeah!"
When Xia Ruya was involved in Xinya's scandal, she came to the Wen family every day. He had noticed something was wrong. Later, he overheard Wang's mother mention that she had seen Xia Ruya fall into the water by herself and it had nothing to do with Xinya. Wang's mother had been in the Wen family for so many years, so he naturally trusted her. Thinking of Xia Ruya's insistence that it was Xinya who pushed her into the lake, the whole family's scolding and disgust towards Xinya, and Xinya's inability to defend herself at the time, he became wary of Xia Ruya.
Although her grandfather had asked her to visit the Wen family less often before, he had never treated her so coldly. His indifferent expression now made her extremely angry. She forced a sad and weak smile and looked at Wen Xinya who was beside Grandpa Wen, saying hello: "Xinya, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"
Wen Xinya nodded calmly: "TOEFL!"
These two light and indifferent words made Xia Ruya feel like she was putting her face in front of someone who was cold. Xia Ruya raised her eyes to look at her. The cold and bright light of the crystal lamp poured down on her body, making her as dazzling as if she was bathed in a layer of golden light. It seemed as if she was bathing in all the brilliance of the world, revealing her nobility that looked down on everything!
She found the light from the crystal chandelier a little dazzling and her eyes felt sore and swollen. Her hands suddenly clenched, then slowly loosened, her stiff fingers gradually stretching out naturally.
