As soon as she approached Ning Shuqian, Wen Haowen pushed her away. In a fit of anger, he slapped Wen Xinya in the face: "Xusheng, what else do you want to do? Your Aunt Ning is pregnant with the Wen family's child, how can you be so cruel?"
"Pa!" The loud slap echoed in the banquet.
Everyone couldn't help but stare at the scene with eyes wide open, and reporters took photos frantically when seeing this.
Wen Xinya's cheek was tilted to the side after being hit. She slowly turned her face, and the slap mark on her face appeared shockingly red. The blood at the corner of her mouth flowed down along her perfect white jawline, and when it reached her chin, it was like raindrops breaking off from the eaves, rolling to the ground and splashing out a gorgeous flower that was enchanting to the bone.
"Dad, I don't care whether you believe it or not. Aunt Ning's fall has nothing to do with me." Her eyes fell on Ning Shuqian, who was curled up on the ground in pain. "I learned some medical knowledge from Grandpa Du before. Let me feel Aunt Ning's pulse and see how she is doing."
Wen Xinya's calm attitude made everyone doubt the matter again.
It is well known in the circle that Wen Xinya and Ning Shuqian do not get along.
Wen Xinya wouldn't be so stupid as to attack Ning Shuqian at the Wen Group's annual meeting!
But Wen Haowen had already lost his mind. Looking at Ning Shuqian's pale and miserable face, his mind was in a mess. All he could think about was that the child might not be saved. Thinking of the pain of losing a child, his eyes turned red with anger: "You beast, how can you be so kind?"
Xia Ruya also burst into tears and said, "Xinya, I know you have always been upset about Aunt Ning killing Aunt Mo, so since you returned to the Wen family, you have been confronting Aunt Ning in every way. But even if Aunt Ning is wrong in every way, what's wrong with the child in her belly? How can you be so cruel? That's a living life!"
Xia Ruya's words were heartfelt, and her accusation against Wen Xinya was well-founded. After all, the reason why Mo Yunyao died of premature birth was because she was greatly traumatized by knowing the affair between Ning Shuqian and Wen Haowen. Anyone who knew the cause of death of their mother would feel resentment towards the person who killed her.
Moreover, more than two years ago, just two days after Wen Xinya’s introduction dinner, Ning Shuqian’s daughter Ning Yuya was kicked out of the Wen family and sent abroad. It is also a fact that Wen Haowen and his wife moved out of the Wen family’s old house.
Wen Xinya looked at Xia Ruya calmly and asked, "Xia Ruya, how do you know that I am still upset about Aunt Ning killing my mother? Do you have any evidence to prove it? Or is this just your guess? How can you be sure that I killed Aunt Ning's baby? Did you see me pushing her? Miss Xia, you are now a member of Zhishan Yahui. You are making such wild guesses and tarnishing my reputation in front of everyone. I believe that Zhishan Yahui will not allow you to do so."
Xia Ruya was speechless for a moment. Looking at the tears silently flowing from Wen Xinya's eyes, she felt a sense of fear in her heart. She had finally become a member of Zhishan Yahui. If the top management of Zhishan Yahui became dissatisfied with her because of this, it would be a loss.
Wen Haowen looked at Wen Xinya's calm and indifferent expression, and he became even more furious. He stared at Wen Xinya with red eyes, as if he wanted to pounce on her and eat her. "You beast, do you think I don't know what you are thinking? You are just worried that if your aunt Ning gives birth to the child safely, you will no longer be the only heir to the Wen Group. You are afraid that the child in your aunt Ning's belly will threaten your current position."
Wen Xinya still looked at Wen Haowen calmly: "Dad, Aunt Ning's condition doesn't look good. If we continue like this, we don't know what will happen."
Wen Haowen's anger turned into panic.
Wen Xinya took this opportunity to squat beside Ning Shuqian and reached out to grab Ning Shuqian's wrist.
When she was studying medicine with Grandpa Du, although she had no intention of curing diseases and saving lives, Grandpa Du still taught her some basic knowledge about pulse conditions. Although she did not know much about pulse diagnosis, she could still detect simple pulse conditions such as pregnancy pulse.
At this time, Ning Shuqian's pulse was very disordered, rising and falling rapidly, and neither slippery nor slippery. According to the pulse, it did look like the symptoms of pregnancy. It might be because it was too early in the month and her knowledge of pulse was too shallow.
When she was about to reach for Ning Shuqian's other hand, Wen Haowen reacted and waved Wen Xinya's body away: "Wen Xinya... You are not allowed to touch her. If anything happens to your Aunt Ning and the baby in your belly, I will not let you off easily. Even if your grandfather protects you, it will be useless."
Wen Xinya said calmly, "Aunt Ning's body has excess Qi and blood. She probably took some tonic food, which caused her to have abdominal pain. You should send her to the hospital immediately!"
It is best not to take too much tonic in the early stages of pregnancy. Tonics can easily cause excess qi and blood, which can lead to signs of miscarriage. Ning Shuqian had probably been injured by artificial insemination and ovulation injections before, so she had been taking some tonic foods, which caused the disordered pulse in her body.
Wen Xinya's performance was too calm and composed. After listening to her words, everyone vaguely believed what she said. After all, artificial insemination and ovulation injections both require body nourishment, and there is no lady from a noble family present who has not given birth to a child. She also knows very clearly about some things during pregnancy. Wen Xinya is a girl who has not yet reached adulthood, but she speaks with details and eyes, so they cannot help but doubt her.
Wen Haowen suddenly thought of the bird's nest, donkey-hide gelatin, and Korean ginseng that were always in the house, and he was a little skeptical about Wen Wenya's words.
After hearing what Wen Xinya said, Xia Ruya immediately reacted and said quickly: "Uncle Wen, it's important to send Aunt Ning to the hospital first. If we delay any longer, if something really happens..."
She bit her lip and couldn't say any more.
Wen Haowen seemed to react suddenly, picked up Ning Shuqian and rushed out of the banquet.
Previously, the old man of the Wen family publicly confirmed the identity of Miss Wen as the heir of the Wen family, which seemed to have become a joke, like a heavy slap in the face of Miss Wen.
Now that Ning Shuqian is pregnant, Wen Xinya is no longer the only heir to the Wen family, and may even no longer be the heir to the Wen family.
Everyone looked at Wen Xinya with meaningful eyes.
There were even some people who started whispering and discussing in public.
A good banquet turned into a farce because of Ning Shuqian. The eldest daughter of the Wen family, who had just been standing beside Mr. Wen, shining brightly and attracting everyone's attention, seemed to become embarrassed in an instant because of Ning Shuqian's pregnancy.
Wen Xinya stood at the banquet, the cold crystal light poured down on her, making her thin figure look even more lonely and desolate. She slowly reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth and ignored the crazy photos taken by the guests.
