Wen Xinya raised her eyebrows. Xia Ruya came at this time
What on earth did she want to do? She couldn't be here to laugh at her. This was not in line with Xia Ruya's character.
Xia Ruya was wearing an apricot-colored knee-length skirt with floral patterns, which made her look even more gentle and delicate. She walked into the living room timidly, as if she had noticed that the atmosphere in the living room was not right. Her watery eyes were filled with anxiety. “Grandpa Wen, how are you feeling recently? I’m so sorry that I’ve been busy studying recently, and there are a lot of things to do in school, so I don’t have time to come and see you.” She then glanced around the living room again. “Where’s Grandma Wen? Why can’t I see her?”
Old Master Wen looked at Xia Ruya with a complicated and indifferent look in his eyes: "I am still the same. Your grandma is still playing cards with her friends and hasn't come back yet."
Xia Ruya placed a box of exquisitely packaged health supplements on the coffee table in front of Grandpa Wen: "Grandpa Wen, this is the lotus root powder I asked a friend to bring back from Australia. You and Grandma Wen need to take good care of your health as you are getting older."
There was a smile on Mr. Wen's face: "You are thoughtful."
Then Xia Ruya greeted Wen Haowen again. Although Wen Haowen's face was not good, he still forced a smile.
Just as Xia Ruya was about to greet Wen Xinya, Ning Shuqian came over happily, took her hand and sat on the sofa, and asked with a smile: "Ruya, why did you suddenly come here so late?"
Xia Ruya glanced at Wen Xinya uneasily, and then answered: "Uncle Wen called me before, and his tone seemed wrong. I thought about it and felt uneasy, so I went to your house. Who knew you were not there, so I guessed that you might have returned to the old house, so I came here."
Ning Shuqian's expression faded and she said, "I'm sorry to have made you, a child, so worried." She glanced at Wen Xinya and continued, "You are so sensible, unlike some people who only stir up trouble and hinder your uncle Wen all day long."
Wen Xinya raised her eyebrows and asked without dodging, "Aunt Ning, you are not talking about me, are you?"
Ning Shuqian's face froze. Even a fool could tell that she was actually talking about Wen Xinya. However, she never expected that Wen Xinya would ask her in person. She didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Xia Ruya quickly tried to smooth things over, "Xinya, you misunderstood Aunt Ning. How could Aunt Ning say that about you? Do you really like to stir up trouble as Aunt Ning said?"
Ning Shuqian looked at Xia Ruya and her expression softened. This child was really smart and clever: "Ruya is right, Xinya... don't believe everything you hear!"
Wen Xinya glanced at Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya calmly: "So you weren't talking about me." Then she looked at Ning Shuqian seriously and said: "But Aunt Ning, you should change your way of speaking, otherwise it will easily cause misunderstandings. Didn't I just misunderstand that what you said was directed at me?"
Ning Shuqian suddenly felt as uncomfortable as if she had swallowed a fly, but she couldn't say anything.
At this time, Wen Xinya suddenly looked at Xia Ruya and said, "Ruya, you came at the right time. You can testify for me. Just now in the police station, did Madam Jiang wrongly accuse me of kidnapping Jiang Ruoyin and threatened me?"
Xia Ruya didn't know that Wen Xinya had already blamed the Jiang family for the falling out. She thought that as long as Wen Xinya and the Jiang family broke up, it didn't matter what the result was, so she nodded and said, "Mrs. Jiang is too anxious because she loves her daughter so much."
Ning Shuqian tried desperately to wink at her, but unfortunately Xia Ruya didn't see it because she had a habit of always looking at the other person when she spoke.
Wen Xinya looked at Wen Haowen and said, "Dad, look, Lian Ruya also proved what happened today. It's clear that the Jiang family took the opportunity to tear our Wen family apart. It has nothing to do with me. So you only listened to Mrs. Jiang's one-sided words before, which was completely wronged me."
Wen Haowen's face looked a little ugly, but he couldn't say a word.
Xia Ruya's eyes widened, as if struck by lightning. Wen Xinya had actually put all the blame on the Jiang family for the falling out. Now that she had testified for her, the Wen family would naturally not push the blame onto Wen Xinya anymore.
"Ruya, thank you. If it weren't for you, my father would still misunderstand me." Wen Xinya looked at Xia Ruya sincerely with gratitude in her eyes. Although grandpa did not intend to push the responsibility on her, it was nice to disgust Xia Ruya.
Xia Ruya felt the same as Ning Shuqian at this moment, as if she had swallowed a fly alive.
"Dad, regarding the Xiao family's acquisition of Ai Shang, should we send Xinya abroad, or should our Wen family compete with the Xiao family? You make the decision yourself!" Wen Haowen said this without caring that Xia Ruya was present.
Xia Ruya was shocked and said, "Uncle Wen, there's no need to make such a fuss. My dad said that the Xia family might be able to help with the Xiao family's acquisition of Ai Shang. I was just about to tell you about this."
Wen Haowen couldn't wait to ask, "Does your Xia family have a solution?"
Xia Ruya nodded and said, "It just so happens that the cooperation between Xia's Supermarket and Ai Shang Group is about to expire. My father said that as long as the Xia family refuses to cooperate with Ai Shang Group because the products of Ai Shang Group do not meet the supermarket's quality standards, then the reputation of Ai Shang Group will definitely be damaged, and the products will be questioned by consumers. Naturally, the Xiao family will not acquire Ai Shang Group again."
Wen Haowen was overjoyed: "Brother Xia, this method is really great. Ruya thank your father for me! This time, the Wen family was able to overcome this difficulty thanks to your Xia family."
Ning Shuqian also happily took Xia Ruya's hand and said, "Ruya, you must have put in a lot of effort in this matter for the Xia family to help the Wen family! The Wen family has not raised you for nothing for twelve years. You are a good child who knows how to repay kindness."
Xia Ruya lowered her head and said, "Uncle Wen, Aunt Ning, you are exaggerating. The Wen family has always been supportive of the Xia family. Now that the Wen family is in trouble, the Xia family will naturally not stand idly by if they can help."
Wen Xinya watched coldly. It turned out that this was Xia Ruya's real purpose. If the Xia family helped the Wen family when the Wen family was in trouble, business had always been a give-and-take. Now that the Xia family wanted to transform into a large high-end shopping mall, they needed the Wen family to be stationed in the mall to build momentum for them. If the Wen family really accepted the Xia family's favor, they would naturally have to accept the Xia family's request for cooperation.
Xia Ruya is really good at calculating, she kills three birds with one stone!
On the one hand, deal with her and make the Wen family give up on her.
On the one hand, she helped the Xia family out of trouble, and the Wen family would be grateful to her.
More importantly, she gained the support of the Wen family for the Xia family, and the Xia family will value her more.
Xia Ruya was indeed more scheming than she had imagined. She had managed to do this silently. This plan was so sophisticated that even she couldn't help but applaud and marvel at her.
