Si Yiyan and Wen Xinya stayed in Nantong for five days before returning to Beijing with him.
As soon as she entered the Wen family's door, she saw Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian there. Wen Ya was no longer surprised by this. When Wen Haowen had just moved out of the Wen family, he was like a bird out of a cage, not coming back for ten days or half a month. But ever since his grandfather was in a coma and hospitalized because of him two years ago, he has devoted himself to being a filial son, running to the Wen family from time to time, calling the family all the time, and constantly sending his grandfather's favorite food to the house.
Wen Xinya looked at Ning Shuqian who was beside Wen Haowen. She was wearing a dark brown skirt with a light grey fur shawl and a full set of pearl accessories. She was still elegant and noble, but less flamboyant and glamorous than before. She looked low-key.
Probably because she had lost her greatest support, she had not caused any trouble in the Wen family in the past two years. She actively cooperated with Old Lady Wen's various pregnancy plans, including artificial insemination, ovulation injections, ovulation drugs, Chinese medicine conditioning, etc., as if she had lost her greatest support and she dared not offend anyone in the Wen family again.
Therefore, the Wen family has lived a relatively peaceful life in the past two years. In the eyes of outsiders, they are considered to have a loving father and filial son, and a happy family with happy children and grandchildren.
But Wen Xinya knew that if Ning Shuqian really kept quiet, she would no longer be Ning Shuqian. Her low-key and forbearing attitude only revealed her ambition and deep scheming.
Ning Shuqian is a smart person. She gave birth to Ning Yuya by caesarean section, so she had to wait another three years if she wanted to have a second child. When she was able to give birth, the Wen family found Xia Ruya. At this time, she saw how much the Wen family doted on Xia Ruya, and was busy trying to please her stepdaughter and be a gentle and generous stepmother. She wanted to gain a sense of recognition from her stepdaughter and become a legitimate lady of the Wen family. She guessed that Ning Shuqian ignored her own assets and was not in a hurry to get pregnant and have children, which might also be related to Xia Ruya.
After all, Xia Ruya had lived in an orphanage before, where she experienced the fickleness of human nature. Even though she was just an innocent child, she naturally had the jealousy that a normal child would have. At that time, she had just returned to the Wen family, and naturally did not want Ning Shuqian to give birth to a child to share the Wen family's love for her. One had her own intentions, and the other wanted to please. In addition, Ning Shuqian, relying on her youth at that time, ignored the idea of getting pregnant and having a child.
By the time she really wanted to have a baby, she probably failed no matter how many ways she tried. At that time, society was far from being as open as it is now. Women were ashamed to even talk about having a gynecological examination. Being unable to have a baby was a great shame for both women and men. It was a disgrace that would make people unable to hold their heads up. So even though Ning Shuqian was anxious, she did not dare to go to the hospital for a check-up easily.
Wen Haowen probably had the same idea as her, so the two of them just dragged it on like this, never going to the hospital for a check-up, let alone taking any measures.
This delay will miss the best time to get pregnant.
The older a woman is, the lower her chances of getting pregnant.
Now Ning Shuqian has really understood the situation. She knows that only if she gives birth to a child of the Wen family can she consolidate her position in the family. Even if the Wen family does not recognize her, they will not disown the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. As long as the Wen family recognizes her child, they will never think of driving her out of the family. If she gives birth to a boy, the Wen family will certainly not hand over the huge family business to a daughter, and she will no longer be the heir of the Wen family. If she gives birth to a girl, she will also divide the Wen family's property in the future. That's why she puts all her hopes on getting pregnant and having a child.
Wen Xinya looked at Ning Shuqian's face, which had become haggard and swollen due to constant artificial insemination, frequent ovulation injections, **** ovulation drugs, and occasional Chinese medicine conditioning in the past two years. She no longer had the enchanting beauty she had when she first returned to the Wen family. Instead, she had the old age of a woman of her age, the old age of gradually withering after blooming to the fullest.
In this state, can she still win Wen Haowen's heart
She looked towards Wen Haowen, who was sitting on the sofa, and only occasionally glanced at Ning Shuqian. There was no trace of the inseparable love they had before.
As if feeling her gaze, Ning Shuqian slowly raised her eyes and looked towards her. When she met her cold gaze, her pupils shrank and she pretended nothing had happened and looked away.
But the hand that held the handbag pinched the soft leather of the bag so hard that it dented. The joints of the fingers were bulging and pulsating. Everything that happened two years ago played out in her mind, one thing after another, and finally turned into a hidden poison that completely eroded her sanity. Wen Xinya... You won't be so proud for long.
Wen Xinya walked over slowly, greeted Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian lightly, and then returned to her room. She and Wen Haowen had reached this tacit understanding in the Wen family over the past two years.
After reading for a while, Mother Wang came to call her for dinner.
Grandpa sat in the main seat, grandma sat in the first seat on the right, Wen Haowen sat in the first seat on the left, and Ning Shuqian sat next to him.
She slowly walked over and sat next to her grandmother.
The atmosphere seemed a little solemn. Wen Yanya smiled and picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in Grandpa's bowl. "Grandpa, today's sea bass looks very good. It is recorded in the Jiayou Materia Medica that sea bass nourishes the five internal organs, benefits the tendons and bones, harmonizes the intestines and stomach, and treats water retention. Would you like to try it and see how it tastes?"
Since my grandfather fell into a coma and was hospitalized two years ago, she has been arranging his diet, including all kinds of medicinal and dietary supplements. He has had two physical examinations, and the doctor said that he is sixty years old but has the body of a fifty-year-old.
Mr. Wen's stern expression softened, and he picked up his chopsticks again and said, "You eat too, don't just focus on picking food for me."
The two of them were so happy together that they ignored everyone around them. Wen Haowen felt uncomfortable. He couldn't help but regret moving out of the Wen family in anger. Even though he had tried his best to be a filial son in the past two years, the old man was still indifferent to him: "Your grandfather has never liked to eat fish. Don't pick vegetables for him randomly." He then picked up a piece of bamboo shoots with chopsticks and put it in Grandpa Wen's bowl: "Dad, the bamboo shoots look very fresh. Try it."
Mr. Wen's relaxed expression suddenly turned serious.
Mrs. Wen looked a little embarrassed as she put the piece of bamboo shoot into her bowl and said, "Haowen, you only care about your dad. I've never seen you pick up a piece of food for me."
Ning Shuqian looked at Wen Haowen and said, "Dad doesn't like eating green bamboo shoots. He likes noodles with meat in green bamboo shoots. You told me that when I first married into the Wen family. Why did you pick up green bamboo shoots for Dad?"
Wen Haowen finally reacted and looked embarrassed. He quickly picked up a piece of green bamboo shoots and pork and put it in Grandpa Wen's bowl: "Dad, I picked the wrong one. The pork is very tender. Please try it!"
Old Master Wen said calmly, "The doctor said that I should eat less oily meat and eat more light fish."
As he said this, he put the stir-fried pork in the bowl aside.
Wen Haowen looked embarrassed and his face was twisted and gloomy, but he didn't dare to get angry because the doctor had indeed instructed him to do so before. Old Mrs. Wen held the clapper in her stiff hand and quickly put the piece of meat into her bowl. She opened her mouth to explain for Wen Haowen, but she didn't know what to say.
Ning Shuqian's expression changed as she stared at Wen Wenya... In just over two years since she returned to the Wen family, she had completely replaced Ruya's position in the old man's heart. In more than two years, she had already firmly established herself as the heir to the Wen family.
