Wen Xinya ignored Ning Shuqian and watched her stumble out of her room, as if a ferocious beast was chasing her.
Wen Xinya sneered. Now Ning Shuqian should be obedient!
Wen Xinya simply packed some necessary things, carried her luggage and left the room. Surprisingly, she ran into Xia Ruya in the yard. She was leaning under a flower stand made of roses. It was winter now, and only green vines were left climbing all over the flower stand, but they were still vibrant and beautiful, making Xia Ruya look even more fresh and elegant. The whole person seemed like a touch of green in winter.
Perhaps the scandal and the virginity/diaphragm incident dealt her a huge blow. She became even thinner, her body was as slender as a willow branch by the river, and her posture was graceful and elegant. Her beautiful face was transparently pale, but such paleness made her look even more charming and delicate. She could even interpret the color white with a hint of enchantment.
"Xinya, where are you going with your luggage?" Xia Ruya's big eyes were filled with watery light, hazy like the morning mist, curling and beautiful.
Before, she met Ning Shuqian, who was in a state of disgrace, in the yard and was stumbling towards the outside of the Wen family. She called out to her for a long time but couldn't stop her. She guessed that Ning Shuqian's condition must be related to Wen Xinya, so she waited here for her. However, she didn't expect to see Wen Xinya carrying her luggage and leaving the Wen family.
Wen Xinya looked at her calmly and said, "During the time you live in the Wen family, I plan to stay at my grandfather's house. I am not interested in living under the same roof with someone I hate."
Xia Ruya's eyes flashed with astonishment. Wasn't she afraid that this move would cause criticism from people in the circle? Wasn't she afraid that her reputation as being strong, domineering, arrogant, and willful would be confirmed
Xia Ruya looked at Wen Xinya, her expression was cold but mocking.
She had originally planned to kill two birds with one stone. By staying at the Wen family for a while, she could please Old Master Wen. She grew up with Old Master Wen and knew his living habits and temper, so she would naturally try to please him. She wanted to let Wen Xinya know that even if she was the eldest daughter of the Wen family, the deep relationship between her and the Wen family for twelve years was something she could never replace or compare to. Seeing her grandparents and other people's children having such a deep relationship, anyone would be jealous, angry, unwilling, and sad...
These emotions will spread like poison, penetrate into her blood, and corrode her rationality, making her prone to making mistakes. She will then seize her mistakes and exploit them to make Grandpa Wen realize that only she, Xia Ruya, is truly excellent.
Only in this way can she have the opportunity to return to the Wen family.
Xia Ruya clenched her fists little by little, and her sharp nails pierced the tender flesh of her palms. Wen Xinya moved to the Mo family for a short stay, and she should be happy, but she was the eldest daughter of the Wen family, and she openly showed that she didn't like her and didn't want to live under the same roof with her. It was impossible for Mr. Wen to ignore her thoughts and attitude. No matter how scheming she was, I'm afraid she would still be considered by Mr. Wen.
This move of cutting off the source of the problem was indeed ruthless. He was willing to sacrifice his own reputation to stop her from achieving her goal.
Wen Xinya slowly approached her, her eyes full of contempt and ridicule: "Why, are you surprised? In fact, if I leave, wouldn't that be exactly what you want? This way you can use all the tricks you have used against grandpa and grandma unscrupulously to achieve your goal."
Xia Ruya shook her head in panic and said, "Xinya, I don't know what you are talking about. If you don't welcome me to stay at the Wen family, I can move out..."
Wen Xinya said calmly, "No, no, no! I'm not unwelcoming you. As long as you're not afraid of living under someone else's roof, I have no objection. After all... We have plenty of guest rooms in the Wen family. You can stay as long as you want."
Xia Ruya looked at Wen Wenya and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. At this moment, she realized that her stay at the Wen family was actually an act of self-humiliation. She thought that Wen Wenya had just returned to the Wen family and should pay attention to her reputation in the circle. Even if she didn't like her living in the Wen family, she would tolerate it. But she didn't expect that she would openly show her attitude.
Wen Xinya sneered, "However, no matter how long you live here and how powerful your methods are, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve your goal. All your hard work will be in vain. If I were you... you would be smart not to covet things that don't belong to you."
Xia Ruya's tightly clenched fists gradually loosened, and a smile appeared on her pale face, as if a flower bud that had received the dew of grace in the morning had blossomed into a fresh and beautiful flower: "Wen Xinya, you always find fault with me, but you are just jealous of me!"
"Jealous?" Wen Xinya seemed to have heard a huge joke, with a smile on her lips like a blooming flower. Different from Xia Ruya's fresh and soft beauty, she was beautiful and elegant as if rendered by ancient ink, extremely ancient and beautiful.
"Yes, I am jealous." Xia Ruya's pale lips blossomed into a beautiful smile. Her slightly parted red lips were tinged with a bright color as if heavily dyed with cinnabar. Her extreme paleness, set off by her extreme beauty, was actually extremely charming: "Wen Xinya, admit it, you are actually jealous of me. Even though I am not the eldest daughter of the Wen family, the deep relationship between me and the Wen family for twelve years is something you can never replace or erase."
"You are jealous that I once had everything that originally belonged to you. I am the one who enjoyed the family love that you lacked."
"You are jealous that I can get the recognition of the Wen family, but you have put in so much effort and calculated so hard, but still cannot get the recognition of everyone in the Wen family."
"I am jealous of you. While I am enjoying everything you have, you are living on the streets, stealing and cheating to survive, and experiencing all the hunger, cold, warmth and suffering in the world."
Wen Xinya was silent. In some ways, Xia Ruya was right, because in her previous life, she was madly jealous of Xia Ruya, and because of that, she did many wrong things and ended up on a path of no return. But in this life... she would never do anything stupid again.
She remained silent, letting the smile on Xia Ruya's lips spread out, as if a wisteria tree had blossomed into a string of gorgeous flowers: "So, you moved out of the Mo family to stay for a while because you were afraid of seeing the scene of me and Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen having a deep affection for each other. You were just avoiding me..."
"Pa pa pa pa!" Crisp applause suddenly rang out along with the tail end of Xia Ruya's words. Wen Xinya's face was indifferent, her eyes were clear, and her lips were cold: "Very wonderful reasoning, but unfortunately, all of this reasoning is not true. You are an illegitimate daughter of the Xia family, what is there for me to be jealous of? Twelve years of deep feelings and blood ties have not yet been decided. Of course... the deep feelings between you and my grandfather, can you beat them? Grandpa's guilt and pity for me because I have been wandering outside for fifteen years, is also unknown. My shortcomings are also strengths in some ways. More importantly, I moved out of the Wen family with grandpa's consent. Grandpa also said... He will personally send me to the Mo family later!"
Xia Ruya's body suddenly took several steps back. Her face, as pale as a flower, seemed to wither and die in an instant, leaving only desolation. Grandpa Wen's indulgence had indirectly shown his attitude. All her calculations ultimately became empty words.
