After the first dance was over, Wen Xinya danced with her grandfather again. Feeling a little hungry, she went to the food area to get some food.
There was no one else in the food area at this time, but Wen Xinya saw Ning Shuqian in the food area. She looked a little pale and was holding a tray, carefully selecting food. There was already a lot of food piled on her plate.
Wen Xinya found it a little strange. She knew that Ning Shuqian had the habit of not eating at any banquet no matter what kind of banquet she attended. Could it be that two years could really change a person's habit
Then she thought about today's Wen Group annual meeting. Ning Shuqian seemed to be too quiet and low-key. She never took the opportunity to chat with the ladies she was familiar with in the circle, and never took the initiative to provoke her. If she hadn't seen her in the food area now, she would have almost forgotten her existence.
This is not consistent with Ning Shuqian's usual behavior. Could it be that her previous speculation that Ning Shuqian would do something at the Wen family's annual meeting was just her own imagination
Alarm bells rang in her heart instantly. No... Impossible! If Ning Shuqian really stayed silent like this, she would not be Ning Shuqian anymore. She must have some ulterior motive.
At this time, Ning Shuqian raised her head and saw Wen Xinya, who walked towards her with elegant steps, her pale lips slightly raised: "It turned out to be Xinya! Are you here to get food too? I heard that the food for tonight's banquet was prepared by a French five-star chef, so you must taste it carefully."
It was a gentle voice, but paired with her slightly distorted pale face, it seemed unusually strange. Wen Xinya had a bad feeling in her heart: "I remember Aunt Ning never seemed to have the habit of eating at banquets. Since even you can't resist the temptation of delicious food, I naturally want to taste it carefully."
"I just saw Ruya at the banquet. She was surrounded by a group of reporters. I almost mistook her for you. After all, you are the protagonist of today's annual dinner." Ning Shuqian looked at Wen Xinya in front of her. She had watched her grow up little by little in the past two years, suppressing the hatred in her heart. Now she saw that she exuded an innate elegance from head to toe. The suppressed hatred in her heart could not help but stir.
Wen Xinya slowly curled her lips and said nothing. Ning Shuqian was just using the fact that Xia Ruya had stolen her limelight to disgust her.
Ning Shuqian looked towards Xia Ruya and couldn't help but sighed, "I haven't seen you for two years. Ruya seems to have changed a lot. I didn't expect that she would become a member of Zhishanya Club. There is no young lady in our capital who can compare to Ruya."
Of course, she was also included. Wen Xinya smiled faintly and said, "Miss Xia returned to the capital to attend the annual meeting of Wen's Group. Why didn't Aunt Ning come out to greet her? Instead, she stayed in the food area alone?" She changed the subject and asked in confusion, "I just saw several ladies and young ladies from aristocratic families who are familiar with you, Aunt Ning, at the banquet, but I didn't see you go up to say hello. Why is that?"
Ning Shuqian's face froze, and she said calmly, "I just felt a little uncomfortable, so I stayed in the food area alone to keep quiet."
In the past two years, she has faded out of the sight of everyone in the circle, because she is doing artificial insemination and ovulation, which is not a glorious thing in the circle. She simply does not go out to see people. Anyway, once she becomes pregnant and secures the title of Mrs. Wen, no one will dare to look down on her or laugh at her.
Wen Xinya looked at Ning Shuqian's overly pale face and slowly put on a cold smile: "Aunt Ning, if you are not feeling well, why don't you go to the hospital? Anyway, you are not recognized as a lady by the Wen family. In such an occasion, it doesn't matter whether you are there or not."
Ning Shuqian's pale face twisted instantly, but a strange smile appeared on her lips: "The old man specially held such a grand annual meeting for you, so that everyone can witness you becoming the heir to the Wen Group. How can I miss it..."
The moment I missed you, I fell from heaven to hell.
The extreme paleness, coupled with the distortion on her face, actually gave people a creepy and gloomy feeling. She had never seen Ning Shuqian like this before, which made her even more alert: "I thought you would be the one who least wanted to see this kind of scene."
Ning Shuqian's face became uglier and uglier, and the skin on her beautiful face was slightly sagging, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were deeper than before: "Wen Xinya, don't think that everything will be fine just because you have secured the position of heir to the Wen family. There is always a thin line between heaven and hell."
Wen Xinya sneered, her eyes flashing with coldness and scorn, and her arrogant expression was full of disdain for her: "Why, Aunt Ning's witchcraft can't deal with me, what new tricks do you want to use against me?"
Ning Shuqian couldn't help but think of what happened in Wen Ya's room in the old Wen family mansion two years ago. The hatred in her heart suddenly surged up wildly. The palm of her hand... the wound that had been cut by the silver needle on the doll had obviously healed long ago, and there was not even a scar left, but it seemed to hurt again. She seemed to see the scene of gorgeous and enchanting blood beads vying to emerge from the wound.
The image of her skinny body standing in front of her was still clearly engraved in her mind. She was obviously not as tall as her, but her burning body made her feel stiff and uncomfortable. She still remembered how she was forced into a cramped and small space by her, like a humble and tiny ant.
Hatred, resentment, viciousness, and all kinds of negative emotions came flooding in at once, drowning her whole body. She looked at Wen Xinya sinisterly and uttered vicious words: "Yes, I really don't have the ability to deal with you now, but you also can't do anything to me. We are on the same side, don't be too arrogant."
Wen Xinya looked at her with a half-smile, revealing all her contempt: "Same here? Ning Shuqian, do you think too highly of yourself?" She changed the subject and her eyes shot out a cold chill: "Don't flatter yourself. I see that your beauty is about to fade. How can your appearance in the twilight years of Xu Niang win my father's heart forever?"
"Wen Xinya, we'll see!" Ning Shuqian's face twisted. The side effects of artificial insemination and ovulation injections were very severe. Even if she took good care of herself, she still couldn't resist the aging of her body. In the past two years, Wen Haowen did not treat her as well as before, and sometimes he would not come home at night.
Wen Xinya was extremely wary of her, so she didn't want to get entangled with her any further: "Let's wait and see!"
Ning Shuqian smiled strangely and slowly walked towards Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya's heart began to beat rapidly. Just as she reacted, the food plate in Ning Shuqian's hand suddenly fell to the ground with a clang, and she fell to the ground with it.
