Wen Xinya looked at Xia Ruya's changing expression and asked again, "Miss Xia, what's wrong? Is my request too much?"

Xia Ruya's face froze, but she would do everything in full, so she quickly said, "It's Master Luo Le Luo, I have a friend who has a good relationship with Master Luo..."

Wen Xinya smiled faintly and said, "So it's Master Luo. He has some reputation in the field of traditional Chinese medicine."

The following words are self-explanatory. In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, when it comes to superb medical skills, no one can compare to Du Shinan.

Xia Ruya bit her lip and suddenly felt like she was bringing shame upon herself.

Wen Xinya continued to ask, "Miss Xia, have you asked clearly whether the western medicine that Grandpa is taking now conflicts with the medicinal food?"

"Not really!" Xia Ruya's face froze. Basil had indeed said before that some Chinese and Western medicines would conflict with each other when taken together. She had just mentioned it casually and had not asked whether the medicines Grandpa Wen took would conflict with each other.

Wen Xinya nodded and said, "Miss Xia doesn't understand. The medicinal materials used in the medicated diet that Grandpa eats are all mild and nourishing. They are not prescriptions for curing diseases, and there is no conflict with Western medicine."

The implication was that she didn't understand and was talking nonsense in front of Old Madam Wen.

Xia Ruya bit her lips tightly, unable to speak for a moment. She just felt as if she couldn't breathe out her breath, and her chest felt tight and suffocated. Thinking of her previous scandal and Wen Xinya's contempt and ridicule, the hatred in her heart entangled her.

Mr. Wen's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the look he gave Xia Ruya was no longer as loving as before: "Xinya's medicinal food tastes very good to me, and even my insomnia that has lasted for many years has improved."

At this point, Mrs. Wen was speechless, because she and the old man had slept in the same bed for many years, so she knew this clearly.

Wen Xinya smiled and said, "As long as it suits Grandpa, it's fine."

Xia Ruya raised her eyes and looked at Grandpa Wen. His face was slightly gloomy and his sharp gaze stung her eyes. She remembered that when Wen Ruya returned to the Wen family, these eyes were full of satisfaction and trust towards her. However, in just over half a year, everything had changed. It is said that people's hearts are changeable, which is absolutely true.

Mrs. Wen suddenly spoke up, "Old man, Ruya's matter has become so serious, and the Xia family has never stepped in to help Ruya resolve it, forcing Ruya to damage her reputation and make her virginity certificate public. I want to take Ruya back to live with the Wen family. After all, Ruya is our adopted daughter who has been raised by us for twelve years, so it is only right for us to take her back to the Wen family."

Wen Xinya's eyes flashed with a cold light. It turned out that this was Xia Ruya's idea. But she had no confidence whether her grandfather would agree. After all, the twelve years of love were not fake.

Mr. Wen's eyes suddenly became sharp. His old eyes were gray and cloudy, but they revealed a surprising sharpness: "What do you mean by that?"

Old Madam Wen said, "I think the Xia family is ruthless and ungrateful, and there is no need for Ruya to return to the Xia family. It is better to confirm Ruya's status as an adopted daughter."

Mr. Wen's face suddenly turned livid, and he looked at Xia Ruya: "You think so too? You think the Xia family is heartless and ungrateful to you, so you want to abandon them and become our Wen family's adopted daughter?"

The question was asked without any politeness and was too straightforward to be tactful. Xia Ruya was completely overwhelmed by it. Her white lotus skills were completely useless and she was speechless for a moment.

Returning to the Wen family as an adopted daughter was naturally her plan. Fortunately, the old lady had deep feelings for her, and the old man was not completely heartless and ungrateful to her. As long as she planned well, there would naturally be no problem.

But in response to the old man's straightforward words, she replied that it was not good to say yes, and it was not good to say no either.

Mr. Wen stared at her intently: "What are you thinking?"

Xia Ruya lowered her head, as if she was very conflicted, but she kept silent.

Old Madam Wen said quickly: "Old man, why do you have to embarrass Ruya? She is kind-hearted and naturally has conflicts in her heart."

Old Master Wen glanced at Xia Ruya calmly, staring at the old lady with sharp eyes: "Shut up, why are you interfering in this? This matter depends on Ruya's opinion anyway!"

Wen Xinya could see clearly from the side that her grandfather had no intention of taking Xia Ruya in as the adopted daughter of the Wen family, so he faced Xia Ruya directly and asked such questions that put Xia Ruya in an awkward position.

If it weren't for the previous conflict between Chinese and Western medicines, maybe Grandpa would have felt pity for Xia Ruya for a while, and after some persuasion from the old lady, he might have really agreed. But now Grandpa has new considerations, which is to take into account the feelings of her, the legitimate eldest daughter of the Wen family. After all, she is the blood of the Wen family. If he adopts the person who replaced her and enjoyed twelve years of wealth and glory as his adopted daughter and lives with her under the same roof, how can she bear it

Xia Ruya lowered her head, facing the sharp gaze of Master Wen. She already understood what Master Wen meant. She raised her head and said, "There are no parents who are not good in the world. I cannot comment on the Xia family, but they are the ones who gave me life. We are tied by blood, and it cannot be cut off just like that."

Old Master Wen nodded: "You are the one who knows clearly in your heart. If you abandon the Xia family and become the adopted daughter of the Wen family because the Xia family treats you badly, then even our Wen family will not want such a person who betrays blood ties."

Xia Ruya's face stiffened instantly. Even though she tried her best to conceal it, she couldn't disguise the expression on her face perfectly. It turned out that what Mr. Wen said was a trap. No matter how she answered, she couldn't achieve her goal.

It was at this moment that she truly realized that the person in front of her was Wen Zhihang, who was once a master in the business world and decisive in killing, and not the kind and amiable grandfather who loved her so much in her impression.

Mrs. Wen wanted to say something else, but Mr. Wen looked at her suddenly and said, "If Ruya doesn't agree, why bother to get involved? Even if Ruya has a deep relationship with the Wen family, we cannot stand for abandoning our blood relationship. If it gets out, people will think it was us who instigated it. How can we live like this?"

Mrs. Wen also realized the seriousness of the matter, but she still felt a little uncomfortable: "But the old man..."

Old Master Wen stopped her from talking: "Okay, Ruya will stay at the Wen family for a few days. We, the Wen family, have made a gesture. We will return to the Xia family after the Chinese New Year."

This arrangement was reasonable and logical. Even if Old Lady Wen was unreasonable, she couldn't say anything to protest and could only remain silent.

Only Xia Ruya lowered her head, her dark eyes flashing with bone-biting hatred and coldness.
