When the sun sets, the sky takes on a soft orange-red hue, and the surrounding clouds seem to be coated with bright colors. However, this beautiful scene did not last long. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up and brought dark clouds, which instantly swallowed up the rosy clouds, leaving only a gloomy and dark scene. The branches of the trees in the courtyard swayed like dancing ribbons, and the leaves flew around and spun in the wind. There were whirring sounds and rustling noises, and the air was so stuffy that it made people feel breathless.
A huge flash of light tore through the gloomy sky, thunder and lightning roared, and strong winds mixed with bean-sized raindrops fell on the ground, making a heavy sound.
Xia Ruya was standing by the window, watching the violent storm outside. The rustling sound vibrated her eardrums, causing a slight pain and making her feel very uncomfortable.
"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a slightly urgent knock on the door.
Xia Ruya turned around to open the door and asked in surprise, "Aunt Ning, what do you want to talk to me about?"
"Your uncle Wen said that the old man met with Lawyer Luo today while we were out shopping, and the two of them had a secret conversation in the study, and even the servants were not allowed to approach the study. The servant who brought medicinal food to the old man happened to hear their conversation, and it seemed to be about revising the will, and it seemed to be related to Wen Xinya." Ning Shuqian's mood at this moment was just like the weather outside.
Wen Haowen's words were like the rumbling thunder outside, which made her dizzy and her heart felt like the sky was torn apart by lightning. She was so terrified that she still couldn't calm down.
Xia Ruya's eyes suddenly widened, the bright white light instantly pierced into her eyes, and her pupils suddenly shrank.
When Wen Xinya held her coming-of-age ceremony banquet, she met Lawyer Luo and she knew without thinking that it was related to Wen Xinya. She thought of the Rujiao azure lotus leaf bowl that Grandpa Wen gave to Wen Xinya. There was a roar outside the window, as if it was roaring in her head, making her brain explode. Her eyes reflected the flickering lightning outside the window, which was so ferocious that it seemed to tear her apart.
Ning Shuqian's eyes revealed resentment: "What on earth did this little bitch Wen Xinya fool the old man into thinking of to make him value her so much and protect her everywhere, even ignoring his own son? Ruya, what should we do now?"
She thought of Yuya who was far away in Country M. The hatred in her heart overwhelmed her like a tide. If it weren't for that little bitch Wen Xinya, Yuya would not have been kicked out of the Wen family and sent abroad at such a young age. Two days ago, she tried Wen Haowen's attitude again, but Wen Haowen never gave in. He even said that Ruya would accompany her so that she could take good care of the baby. Seeing that Wen Xinya's coming-of-age ceremony was approaching, Yuya's matter was still not settled. She was really anxious.
Xia Ruya felt. Naked. Her arms were a little cold when exposed to the outside, and goose bumps appeared one by one. Then she realized that the window was open at a corner. The strong wind and rain splashed into the house through the window, taking away the warmth in the house and awakening her reason: "Aunt Ning, don't be nervous. Have you found out which servant heard the conversation between the old man and Lawyer Luo?"
Ning Shuqian nodded: "I found out everything. I even asked the servant over. Although she only heard a few words, she mentioned shares and Wen Xinya."
As she spoke, she told Xia Ruya what the servant had said before.
Xia Ruya's face was very calm. She turned around and walked a few steps, then gently closed the window to keep the wind and rain out.
After Ning Shuqian finished speaking, Xia Ruya suddenly had a bad feeling. She rubbed her throbbing right eye and frowned slightly, saying, "The old man's meeting with Lawyer Luo when Wen Xinya's coming-of-age ceremony was approaching may be related to Wen Xinya's coming-of-age ceremony. I wonder what will happen at Wen Xinya's coming-of-age ceremony this time?"
The old man's actions have always been difficult to guess, even though she grew up with him.
"If what you said is true, then it will be even more difficult for us to deal with Wen Xinya in the future!" Ning Shuqian thought of Wen Xinya's introduction dinner more than two years ago. At that time, the old man transferred 5% of the shares of Wen's Group under his name to Wen Xinya, laying the foundation for her identity as the eldest daughter and heir of the Wen family. When Ruya said this, she also felt a little uneasy.
Ning Shuqian's words made Xia Ruya's face even more solemn: "Now the only way is to use the child in your belly to contain Wen Xinya, but the old man has doubts about your pregnancy, so this trick will not work at all."
Ning Shuqian looked at her solemn expression and became more flustered: "Then should we..."
Xia Ruya understood what she meant. She shook her head gently and said, "No, this will easily backfire."
Using the child to cause trouble at this time is pouring a basin of dirty water on Wen Xinya's head. With such a strong and overbearing personality, Wen Xinya will definitely suffer a loss and will definitely make a huge fuss. The old man already had doubts about Ning Shuqian, and it was just the right opportunity to check her pregnancy. By then, it would be impossible to cover it up.
Ning Shuqian sat down on Xia Ruya's bed dejectedly, her face distorted.
Xia Ruya took a deep breath and licked her dry lips. She gradually calmed down and said in a dry voice, "Aunt Ning, don't panic. The old man just met with Lawyer Luo. It is still unknown whether he will modify his will. We can't panic. Besides, the old man is in good health. If he can modify his will once, he can modify it twice or three times. The world is unpredictable and is always full of endless variables. The victory or defeat at a certain time is nothing."
Having said that, Xia Ruya still felt extremely unwilling and resentful in her heart.
Xia Ruya looked at the weather outside the window. The spring water was moist and silent, but such thunder and lightning, strong winds and heavy rain were rare. It seemed like some kind of warning that the weather in the Wen family... began to change.
Ning Shuqian calmed down a little after hearing her words: "You are right, it is still unknown who will win, whoever laughs last and laughs the best will be the biggest winner."
Wen Xinya has just reached adulthood. Although she can participate in the operation and management of Wen's Group, she still has a long way to go. As Ruya said, things in the world are always unpredictable and full of variables. She looked at the wind and rain outside the window. Who could have imagined that the sunny weather would suddenly be covered with dark clouds, thunder and lightning, and violent storms.
Xia Ruya suddenly asked, "What did Uncle Wen say?"
Ning Shuqian sneered and said, "No one would give away the huge wealth of the Wen family. Besides, your uncle Wen has always hated Wen Xinya, so he will naturally not let Wen Xinya succeed."
A sneer appeared on Xia Ruya's lips, and her pretty face was full of gorgeous charm, like a poisonous magic flower. She thought she should know how to deal with Wen Xinya.
