Mr. Wen's silence angered Wen Haowen. He was furious and his temper suddenly became perverse: "Dad, Mom and I have been looking forward to this child for a long time, and we still don't know what the situation is with him. Instead of caring about him, you accuse Mom of being cruel to Wen Xinya. Even if you don't like Shu Qian, she is pregnant with the blood of our Wen family. Aren't you too biased?"
Mr. Wen's eyes suddenly shot towards Wen Haowen: "I am biased? If I were biased, would I have allowed you and Ning Shuqian to make such a scene at the Wen Group's annual meeting today, bringing shame to the Wen family without showing up?"
Wen Haowen was speechless for a moment, but when he thought of Ning Shuqian in the clinic and the child in her belly, he was furious: "You speak so righteously, don't treat me like a fool. Do you think I don't know that you didn't show up just to protect Wen Xinya, that beast?"
Master Wen sneered and said, "Xinya is the blood of the Wen family, so I naturally have to protect her, but what I want to protect even more is the face and reputation of the Wen family. Don't you understand the principle of losing the lips and the teeth?"
Wen Haowen couldn't listen to what Grandpa Wen said. With bloodshot eyes, he said, "Dad, no matter what you say, I will not let this matter go. Wen Xinya hurt the unborn child of Shu Qian and me. I must make her pay the price!"
Mr. Wen asked sternly, "So what do you want?"
Wen Haowen opened his mouth and said angrily: "I have decided. I want to sever the father-daughter relationship with Wen Xinya."
Mr. Wen's sharp eyes suddenly shone with a sharp light, and suddenly shot at Wen Haowen: "What did you say? Say it again?"
Facing his father's cold and sharp gaze, Wen Haowen felt a chill in his body, but he stiffened his neck and said, "Dad, I want to sever my father-daughter relationship with Wen Xinya. I don't dare to have a daughter like Wen Xinya who is so rebellious and attacked her father."
The sudden silence completely enveloped the people present. The atmosphere was like water constantly gathering under the eaves. When it reached a certain weight, it would fall from the eaves. Although it seemed like a few drops of water, it had the ability to wear away a stone.
Old Madam Wen looked at Wen Haowen in shock. She had not expected him to say such a thing. Although severing ties with one's own flesh and blood had happened in the capital before, each time it had a huge impact.
Old Master Wen looked at Wen Haowen with an increasingly cold and sharp gaze. He actually dared to think of such a heartless thing as severing the father-daughter relationship with his own flesh and blood for a woman.
But Wen Xinya just stood there quietly, her silence seemed to have erased all traces of her existence.
As soon as the words came out, Wen Haowen became bolder and looked at Old Man Wen and said, "Dad, you don't have to say anything. I have decided that I will publish an announcement in the newspaper tomorrow to sever my relationship with Wen Xinya as my father."
Wen Xinya thought that her grandfather would be furious and out of control and accuse Wen Haowen, but she didn't expect that her grandfather would just calmly say, "It's up to you. You can't represent the Wen family. Even if you and Xinya sever your father-daughter relationship, Xinya is still the heir of the Wen family."
Wen Haowen was speechless for a moment. He had to admit that the old man was right. Even if he and Wen Xinya severed their father-daughter relationship, as long as the old man recognized Wen Xinya, this matter would at most be a topic of conversation after dinner and would not have a fatal impact on Wen Xinya.
Old Master Wen said calmly, "I have to make some things clear. Even if Ning Shuqian is pregnant with the blood of the Wen family, it cannot change Xinya's status as the heir of the Wen family. If she gives birth to a boy in the future, then the child must be raised by me personally, and you are not allowed to interfere in the child's upbringing."
The child hasn't been born yet, but he has already done something ridiculous like severing the father-daughter relationship. This is just to prevent Ning Shuqian from using the child in her belly to cause trouble and bring disgrace to the Wen family. More importantly, what kind of child can a mother like Ning Shuqian teach? He must be on guard against Ning Shuqian manipulating his child to do something that is detrimental to the Wen family in the future.
Wen Haowen wanted to give birth to a child to replace Wen Xinya as the heir of the Wen family, but she didn't expect this result. It was like a bolt from the blue, and she screamed, "You, how could you do this?"
Old Master Wen said calmly, "You can sever the father-daughter relationship with Xinya, so why can't I do the same? I don't want our Wen family to have a bloody fight over property in the future."
Wen Haowen said angrily: "Dad, what you are doing is unfair to Shu Qian and me!"
Old Master Wen sneered, "You and Ning Shuqian had an extramarital affair, which caused Yunyao to die prematurely. Less than half a year after Yunyao's death, you married Ning Shuqian. Have you ever been fair to Yunyao? Xinya disappeared as soon as she was born and lived away from home for fifteen years. When she returned to the Wen family, did you have any father-daughter feelings for her? Is it fair for you to treat her like this? You are ashamed of Yunyao and don't reflect on yourself. You are ashamed of Xinya and don't think about the blood relationship. How dare you talk about fairness?"
Wen Haowen's aura instantly collapsed like a defeated rooster. All his self-righteousness was replaced by a miserable state. Mo Yunyao had been dead for fifteen years, and he didn't even dare to think of her name. Whenever this name popped up in his mind, he would ruthlessly cut it off.
Except... the day the old man fell into a coma!
With a "clang", the door of the consulting room was opened and a doctor in a white coat walked out.
Wen Haowen rushed to the ward almost reflexively and asked, "Doctor, how is my wife? Is the baby okay? Can it be saved?"
The female doctor slowly took off her mask and said, "The patient is five weeks pregnant. She ate too many tonic foods before, which caused her qi and blood to be too full, resulting in an unstable fetus. Because she accidentally fell, she had abdominal pain and signs of miscarriage. Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time. The baby's condition is basically stable now, and the patient is fine. However, because the fetus is unstable, it is best to stay in the hospital for observation for three months."
Wen Haowen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and was so overwhelmed with joy that he rushed into the treatment room.
Old Mrs. Wen clasped her hands together excitedly: "Thank God, everything is fine."
Even Mr. Wen's stern expression softened.
Ning Shuqian is actually pregnant!
Wen Xinya had a feeling of disbelief and always felt something was strange in her heart, but when she thought about it carefully, she had also checked Ning Shuqian's pulse before, and it did seem to be the pulse of early pregnancy, and the results of the doctor's examination were similar to the results of her pulse check.
