Wen Xinya looked at Xia Ruya. There was a hint of trouble on her soft and beautiful face, as if she was really worried about Ning Shuqian. But if you noticed her wet and sparkling eyes, you could see a hint of coldness in her eyes.
As expected, Mrs. Wen was enraged by Xia Ruya and Ning Shuqian's behavior. She stared at Wen Wenya, her eyes wide open like Wen Haowen's, flashing with ferocity: "Wen Wenya, your Aunt Ning is your stepmother after all. She apologized to you so humbly, what else do you want?"
The old lady's words made Ning Shuqian look aggrieved. She choked and cried, "Mom... As long as I can give birth to a safe and healthy child for the Wen family, I'm willing to do anything, not to mention just apologizing to Xinya..."
Ning Shuqian's words made Old Madam Wen even more furious: "Wen Xinya, do you think I don't know that you didn't take out the medicinal recipe just because you didn't want your Aunt Ning to give birth to the child safely and threaten your position in the Wen family in the future? You are so selfish and vicious."
Xia Ruya slowly raised the corners of her lips, and a hint of coldness disappeared in an instant: "Xinya, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Even if you don't consider Uncle Wen and Aunt Ning's face, please don't be so cold and heartless because Aunt Ning is carrying a fresh little life in her belly."
Wen Xinya looked at them talking to each other, and the saying "three women, one drama" was indeed true: "When did I say I would not take out the medicinal recipe?"
Wen Xinya's gentle words made several people's voices stuck in their throats, and they were stunned for a moment.
Xia Ruya looked at Wen Xinya's calm expression, and kept speculating in her heart, what exactly did Wen Xinya mean? Was she really going to take out the recipe for the medicinal diet? No... This was simply impossible. She must have known the pros and cons of taking out the recipe for the medicinal diet. With such a serious matter, no matter how stupid a person was, he would not take it out.
But... her expression at this moment didn't seem fake? Was she trying to play some other trick
A sense of vigilance rose in her heart.
Ning Shuqian's thoughts were similar to Xia Ruya's. She looked at Wen Wenya with wariness in her eyes.
Wen Xinya looked at Old Lady Wen and said, "Grandma, you can't just take medicinal food casually. Pregnant women have a lot of changes in their physical condition. You have to take medicine strictly according to the doctor's instructions. Even ordinary cold medicines should be taken with caution. The medicinal food recipe was given to me by Du Xinglin and Du Qianjin. If I take it out like this, and if Aunt Ning gets hurt after taking it, do you think it's Du Xinglin's fault or mine?"
Mrs. Wen was speechless for a moment, but her face remained livid. She thought that Wen Xinya was deliberately making excuses for not taking out the recipe: "After all, you just don't want to take out the recipe."
Wen Xinya shook her head and said, "Grandma, I haven't finished what I'm saying yet. Du Xinglin's granddaughter Du Ruo is very good at health care and has a very good reputation in the industry in recent years. I have a good relationship with her, so I plan to ask Du Ruo to come to the Wen residence tomorrow to take Aunt Ning's pulse and see how it looks. Then, based on Aunt Ning's physical condition, I'll ask her to prescribe some herbal recipes for maintenance. Wouldn't that be better then?"
Xia Ruya thought she had planned everything out, but she was too confident. She thought she had seen through the Wen family's emphasis on bloodline, and that she could have any success by taking advantage of the baby in Ning Shuqian's belly. So she would play along and see whether Ning Shuqian was really pregnant or just faking it.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wen's eyes lit up, and she no longer had any anger. "Can you really invite Du Xinglin's granddaughter, Du Qianjin, to come and check your Aunt Ning's pulse?"
Du Ruo's reputation is well-known in the circle because of the Lanxin cosmetics store she opened, the amazing effects of Chinese herbal skin care, and the wonderful various health-preserving soups.
Wen Xinya nodded affirmatively: "Of course it's true."
Wen Xinya's words made Ning Shuqian feel a tingling sensation on her scalp. She was pretending to be pregnant, so how could she deceive an expert like Du Ruo? Naturally, she couldn't let her come to take her pulse.
She felt like she had shot herself in the foot.
Xia Ruya was also stunned. She didn't expect Wen Xinya to use this method to help her out.
If they agreed to let Du Ruo take their pulse and prescribe medicine, then... Wen Xinya would clear herself of all blame. Even if the medicinal food caused harm to someone, it would have nothing to do with her. Ning Shuqian would also seem indifferent to the trouble caused by the medicinal food.
More importantly, Wen Xinya was clearly taking the opportunity to test whether Ning Shuqian was really pregnant. If she was really pregnant, no one would refuse such a good thing as inviting Du Xinglin's granddaughter Du Ruo to come and take her pulse and prescribe medicine. After all, Du Xinglin's reputation was there, and Du Ruo was also well-known, unless Ning Shuqian was not pregnant.
She suddenly felt like she was trying to steal a chicken but ended up getting pecked. She had clearly dug a trap for Wen Xinya to fall into, but in the end... Wen Xinya tricked her back and tried to find out whether she was really pregnant or not.
People in the circle say that Du Ruo has a weird personality and is arrogant. She spends all day doing various research and is a research maniac. Such a person is naturally difficult to get along with. She doesn't think that Wen Xinya, a little girl who has been wandering around the streets for fifteen years, can catch her eye, so naturally she won't make friends with her.
She still missed it.
Ning Shuqian was flustered, and looked at Wen Xinya with sharp eyes: "Wen Xinya, you almost caused my child to miscarry at the annual meeting before, and now you have taken the initiative to agree to ask Du Qianjin to come and check my pulse. Would you be so kind?"
Old Mrs. Wen was startled. Only then did she realize that it was not appropriate to ask Wen Xinya to ask Miss Du to come and take Ning Shuqian's pulse. You know, the child in Ning Shuqian's belly may threaten Wen Xinya's position as the heir of the Wen family in the future. How could she be so kind
Previously at the Wen's Group's annual meeting, Mingming had tried every possible means to almost cause Ning Shuqian to have a miscarriage.
Wen Xinya looked at Ning Shuqian and said calmly, "Aunt Ning, since you don't believe me, then don't ask me for medicinal recipes again. I don't want to do a good deed and then get stained with it."
At this point, she had basically confirmed that Ning Shuqian's pregnancy was totally fake. If she wanted to obtain evidence, she had to start from the hospital and Ning Shuqian's attending physician.
Xia Ruya watched Wen Xinya kick the ball to them easily, and she felt nauseous but couldn't spit it out. She felt so heavy in her heart that she couldn't express it in words.
Before, she was cold-blooded and unwilling to hand over the medicinal food, but now the situation has reversed. Ning Shuqian has taken her kindness for granted. From now on, no matter what happens to Ning Shuqian through her stomach, it has nothing to do with her.
Her painstaking plan was unexpectedly broken up by Wen Xinya with just a few words.
Xinya’s counterattack in the next chapter is about to begin!
