Old Mrs. Wen cried even more sadly: "Old man, please help Ruya. Ruya is really pitiful. Scandals like this should be dealt with as soon as possible so that the impact can be minimized and Ruya will suffer less grievances. You don't know that Ruya is completely broken now. She is only fifteen years old. How can she withstand such attacks from the media?"
Mr. Wen was moved by Mrs. Wen's sincere words. He hesitated for a moment and said, "If Ruya doesn't come out to express her position on this matter, how can we directly intervene?"
When Mrs. Wen heard this, she knew something was going to happen. She didn't remember clearly what Ruya had taught her before, so she said quickly, "Those media reporters are just writing nonsense. Why do they need Ruya to show up? We can take them to court and make them not dare to report Ruya's scandals. Wasn't the last Wen Xinya scandal resolved in the same way? In terms of a clean background, Ruya is much more innocent than Wen Xinya. Wen Xinya can win the case, so Ruya can definitely win too."
Mrs. Wen's words instantly turned Mr. Wen's face cold and hard: "I think you are possessed by a ghost. You are belittling your own granddaughter to elevate someone else's daughter. If Ruya is innocent, then Xinya is not innocent?"
When Mrs. Wen heard this, she was completely stunned. She stared at the old man blankly, trying hard to recall what Ruya had said before and try to make amends.
Old Master Wen said sternly, "Since you mentioned Xinya's previous scandal, I'll leave it at that. Xinya dealt with her scandal herself. Now that Ruya has encountered such a thing, I will naturally not intervene. Otherwise, how will outsiders see me, Wen Zhihang, and think that I am praising other people's daughters more than my own granddaughter? How will Xinya feel!"
Mrs. Wen's mind was in a mess. She didn't realize that she had said the wrong thing. She thought about the old man's cold rejection when she mentioned Ruya's scandal a few days ago. She was only out for a while today, but the old man's attitude changed completely. She looked at Wen Xinya and scolded her: "You jinx, did you gossip to your grandfather and stop him from helping Ruya?"
Wen Xinya frowned slightly and said, "Grandma, as you said, Miss Xia is the adopted daughter of the Wen family. Now that she has been in such a situation, if our Wen family does not intervene, it would seem a bit cold and heartless. As the eldest daughter of the Wen family, I will naturally not do anything that would damage the reputation of the Wen family."
Old Madam Wen sneered, "You speak better than you sing. You think I'm not in harmony with you? Ever since you returned to the Wen family, you have always disliked Ruya and made things difficult for her and bullied her. You pushed her into the water before. You also schemed to embarrass Ruya at Zhou Tianyu's birthday party last time. You also made things difficult for her at the academy. You don't know how happy you are and how much you gloat over her misfortune."
Wen Xinya felt that no matter how much she explained, it would be futile in front of Old Lady Wen, so she simply lowered her head and kept silent.
Her silence made Mrs. Wen feel more justified, and she scolded Wen Wenya again: "The photo of Ruya published in the magazine was taken when Ruya made a fool of herself at Zhou Tianyu's birthday party last time. You planned for Ruya to make a fool of herself. You were also there at the time. Tell me honestly whether you were the one behind Ruya's scandal this time. Ruya is such a well-behaved and obedient child. If someone didn't deliberately frame her, how could she be written so embarrassingly by the media?"
Wen Xinya remained silent.
This was probably Xia Ruya's plan! If Grandpa still refused to come forward to clarify for her, then she would use Old Lady Wen's unreliable mouth to reveal what happened at Zhou Tianyu's banquet, so that the Wen family would be suspicious of her. After all, the grudge between her and Xia Ruya had existed since she returned to the Wen family. This was something that everyone in the Wen family had witnessed, and she did have motives to harm her.
"Shut up!" Old Man Wen suddenly picked up the magazine beside him and threw it hard at Old Lady Wen.
"Ah!" Old Mrs. Wen's eyes widened in fear, and she stood rooted to the ground as she watched the magazine fly toward her. Then a cold breeze blew past her ears, and the magazine passed by her ears.
Her wildly beating heart finally landed on the ground with a thump and then slowly returned to its original position. She suddenly touched her chest and took a deep breath, but her face was as silent as a cicada.
Mr. Wen's voice was extremely cold, and even his expression became harsh and indifferent: "Stop talking nonsense to me. I repeat, Xinya is the direct descendant of my Wen family. You must listen carefully, clearly, and remember it firmly in your heart. I don't care how good your relationship with Ruya is, but don't push the blame on Xinya when Ruya gets into trouble."
Old Mrs. Wen's peaceful heartbeat began to race again. She and the old man had been married for decades, but she had never seen him with such an expression. It was as if every word he said was like a heavy hammer hitting her brain, making her scalp numb and her brain filled with dull pain and numb chaos.
Mr. Wen was still furious, and looked at her fiercely: "During this period of time, you must stay at home and don't go anywhere, let alone see Xia Ruya, otherwise I will break your legs."
Old Mrs. Wen didn't dare to say a word. After all, she had lived with the old man for decades and knew his temper very well. Although his temper had improved a lot as he got older, his tough and uncompromising character was exactly the same as when he was young.
Seeing this, Wen Xinya breathed a sigh of relief. Before, her grandfather had asked her about what happened at Zhou Tianyu's birthday party. She said frankly that she got her clothes wet. The place where Xia Ruya and the others had the accident was the cloakroom. She did not hesitate to express that she was related to this incident, but she also said frankly that she went to Zhou Tianyu's room to change clothes. Her grandfather has always been very suspicious. If she explained, she would seem guilty. If she didn't explain, she couldn't express her position, which would make it easier for her grandfather to be suspicious. She spoke in such an ambiguous way, neither denying nor explaining, leaving it to her grandfather to judge for himself.
It was a simple sentence, but it was a battle of wits and courage between her grandfathers.
She took this gamble, and luckily she won, so the old lady used the incident at Zhou Tianyu's birthday party as an excuse to suggest that she was the one who framed Xia Ruya, and that's why grandpa stood by her side without hesitation.
Xia Ruya, just experience the feeling of being isolated, helpless and despair!
Everything I endured in my last life, I will return to you double in this life, this is just the beginning...
