Wen Xinya took a breath and strolled in the courtyard behind the Wen family's old house. There was a white magnolia tree planted in the courtyard. Its branches were wide and its appearance was elegant and graceful. Because the climate was warmer this spring, the white jade flowers were already blooming on the branches before April. They swayed gently in the breeze, as beautiful as thousands of butterflies playing with pearls.
When she was first brought back to the Wen family, she fell in love with the blooming magnolia at first sight. When her grandfather asked her which room she wanted to live in, she subconsciously asked for a room near the magnolia.
The slightly cool night breeze caressed her face, which was a little hot due to drunkenness, and it felt smooth and indescribably comfortable.
She took a deep breath, and the fresh and elegant scent of the magnolia filled her nose. Her restless heart, which had been restless because of her rebirth, calmed down in an instant.
How long has it been since she enjoyed such a night breeze
It seems like ten years!
Yes! For ten years, she was taken back to the Wen family when she was fifteen years old. At the age of twenty-five, she died of heart failure after being injected with drugs by Xia Ruya. For ten whole years, she lived under the shadow of others, under the conspiracy and calculation of others, and gradually lost herself, abandoned herself, and became depraved!
Wen Xinya opened her arms, looked up at the night sky, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: I'm back, are you ready
"Where did you go last night? Why did you come back so late?"
The majestic voice was mixed with complex warnings, and it was stiff and indifferent. Wen Xinya's body froze, and she stood there woodenly, without even the courage to look back! In her previous life, this old man was the only person in the Wen family who cared about her, and he was also the one who gave up on her.
"You have just returned to the Wen family. It is best for you to stay at home quietly and do not go out for no reason. The media outside are all focused on you. Your every word and action is under close attention. How can you still act recklessly like you did before?" Grandpa Wen's tone was full of displeasure. He knew that she had such a complicated past, but he still insisted on taking her back. Mainly because she was the blood of the Wen family and he could not bear to see the only bloodline wandering outside. However, he did not expect that after returning to the Wen family, she would not behave herself at all and was even so vicious as to push Ruya into the water.
Wen Xinya slowly wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, slowly turned around and timidly called out: "Grandpa! I understand, I won't run around anymore in the future."
Old Master Wen walked towards her and could smell the alcohol on her from a distance. He frowned slightly and said, "Whenever you are not satisfied, you go out and get drunk. How can you be so rude? You are no longer the Zhang Xiaolan who used to hang out on the streets. You are Wen Xinya, the eldest daughter of our Wen family. I don't care whether you can adapt to the current life, but you must learn how to be a real daughter of a noble family."
"Grandpa, what should a real daughter of a famous family look like? Is she like Xia Ruya?" Wen Xinya looked at her grandfather with clear eyes, and there was an invisible humiliation and grievance in her eyes.
She had just returned to the Wen family and had never lived with her grandfather. How could she compare to Xia Ruya? Even though she was an adopted daughter, her grandfather had raised him for twelve years, and emotionally speaking, his heart was still biased towards Xia Ruya. She wanted her grandfather to recognize who was the eldest daughter of the Wen family.
Old Master Wen didn't know how to answer her for a moment, and then he realized that she had been living away from home for fifteen years, and Ruya had enjoyed everything that should have belonged to her on her behalf, and she had not received any of the lessons that a daughter of a famous family should learn.
Seeing that Mr. Wen was silent, Wen Wenya lowered her head timidly and twisted her skirt: "Grandpa, have I embarrassed the Wen family? Do you regret taking me back?" At this point, her face was full of panic: "Grandpa, I didn't push Ruya into the water on purpose, I really didn't mean to do it. Please believe me and don't send me away, Grandpa..."
Mr. Wen frowned so hard that it looked like he could pinch a fly to death. “When did I say I was going to send you away? You are the eldest daughter of the Wen family. Now that I have brought you back, I will naturally not send you away again.”
Wen Xinya mustered up her courage and looked at her grandfather: "But Grandpa, I don't know anything that Xia Ruya knows, so is it okay?"
Mr. Wen's expression became increasingly ugly, and he angrily said, "You are you, and Ruya is Ruya. You don't have to compare yourself with her in everything. She has lived in the Wen family since she was a child, and the education she received is different from yours. You have just returned to the Wen family, and you can start all over again."
Wen Xinya's eyes were filled with tears, and she choked with grievance and said, "You have always compared me with Xia Ruya, thinking that I am vulgar and not as noble and elegant as Xia Ruya."
In this life, she would never let others compare her with Xia Ruya again. She would use all means to create more favorable conditions for herself, even if it meant taking advantage of her grandfather's love for her. She wanted her grandfather to completely stand on her side. Today was just the beginning.
Old Master Wen couldn't help but think of what happened yesterday when Ruya came to see them. The whole family was happily surrounding Ruya, while Xinya was hiding in a corner by herself. At that time, he saw her hiding and envious, but he chose to continue to ignore her. His heart softened slightly: "You just returned to the Wen family, you are not used to it yet, I will ask a tutor and etiquette teacher to teach you in a few days."
Wen Xinya's eyes lit up, and her tender little face was filled with joy: "Grandpa, can I also learn all kinds of etiquette, ballroom dancing, using knives and forks, wearing high heels, and tasting red wine?"
"Well, there are more things besides this." Old Master Wen felt mixed emotions for a moment. Due to the gap of fifteen years, she had not only lost the love of her relatives, but also the education, cultivation and inner self that should have belonged to her. How could she catch up so quickly? It was he who was too impatient and ignored the child's feelings. He kept making demands but never really taught her.
Wen Xinya's eyes suddenly shone with a resolute and bright light: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will study hard and become the eldest daughter of the Wen family that you can be proud of. I will never embarrass you."
A determined light flashed on the girl's face. She was wearing a light red long skirt. The skirt seemed to be ill-fitting. The waist was a little wide and the skirt was a little too long, making her look even thinner and weaker. He remembered that this skirt was a gift from his daughter-in-law Ning Shuqian to Ruya when she came back from France not long ago. Ruya wore it twice and never wore it again. He didn't expect that it would be worn by his real granddaughter.
After being home for four or five days, she didn't even have a piece of clothing of her own! The Wen family had ignored her to such an extent, no wonder she would do such a thing today.
She is his real granddaughter, the real eldest daughter of the Wen family! He is such a failure as a grandfather.
There was a gleam in Wen Wenya's eyes. She had just returned to the Wen family, and only her grandfather's attitude could determine her position in the family. She couldn't show too radical a personality, nor could she be too ambitious and strong. Either of them would easily make the Wen family compare her with Xia Ruya, which would be counterproductive. As long as she acted innocent, people would easily accept her.
