Hypochondria!
The Wen family members were horrified, and what Mr. Du had said before involuntarily came to their minds. They hurriedly sent Ning Shuqian to the hospital.
The doctor gave her a sedative, and she calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.
After all this trouble, everyone in the Wen family was exhausted.
When Xia Ruya returned to the Wen family, the lights were on. Her heart suddenly sank and she had a bad premonition. She clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and then entered the living room.
Old Master Wen sat on the sofa with a solemn and cold expression. His cold and hard face was tense, his sharp eyes were full of viciousness, his old lips were pressed into a straight line, and his whole body exuded a chilling coldness.
Old Mrs. Wen sat on the sofa awkwardly, her expression full of uneasiness.
Wen Haowen had a dejected look on his face, and his neatly trimmed hair was messed up by him.
Xia Ruya looked at Wen Xinya who was standing beside her.
As if she had sensed her gaze, Wen Xinya raised her head and looked towards Xia Ruya. Her expression was filled with a faint emotion, with an indiscernible coldness. However, her lips, as beautiful as flowers, seemed to be slightly curved, as if mocking, ironic, sarcastic, or ridiculing...
Her heart suddenly gasped and she felt as if she couldn't breathe.
Xia Ruya walked over slowly: "Grandpa Wen, Grandma Wen, Uncle Wen, Xinya, why haven't you rested yet so late?"
Ning Shuqian's fake pregnancy was exposed, and the situation was so chaotic that it would inevitably implicate her. So she made an excuse to stay in the hospital and stayed with Ning Shuqian for a while before returning to the Wen family. She thought that it was so late and the Wen family must have gone to bed. After calming down for a night, she would be able to make excuses for herself the next day.
She looked up at the clock on the wall and saw that the hour hand had already pointed to one o'clock in the morning.
No one answered her. Xia Ruya's face turned pale, but she forced a smile and said, "Aunt Ning's condition has completely stabilized, but the doctor said that Aunt Ning's mood is still a little unstable, so she may need to be hospitalized for observation for a while."
It was really beyond Ning Shuqian's expectation that she would suffer from such a disease.
Old Master Wen looked at her coldly: "Ruya, do you know about Ning Shuqian's pregnancy leave?"
He didn't beat around the bush but asked directly. He had lived with his granddaughter for twelve years, so how could he not know what kind of person she was
Xia Ruya suddenly took several steps back and looked at him in disbelief: "Grandpa Wen... you... you doubt me?"
Her lips were trembling, and her body was like a withered flower blooming in the autumn frost, shaking on the branch, and swaying as if she could no longer withstand any wind and rain, otherwise she would fall off the branch and become broken.
Old Master Wen stared at her with a sharp gaze, his cold face showing no emotion: "The hospital has confirmed that Ning Shuqian is not pregnant. Lin Mengxue, the doctor who diagnosed Ning Shuqian, was confirmed to be Ning Shuqian's junior high school classmate. It was Ning Shuqian who used her money and connections to get her to the current hospital. The hospital has found out that Lin Mengxue faked the diagnosis and concealed Ning Shuqian's condition. The hospital will file a lawsuit in court tomorrow, accusing Lin Mengxue of the crime of fake diagnosis."
Xia Ruya looked at Grandpa Wen in bewilderment, as if she didn't understand why he said this to her.
But a storm was brewing in my heart. What did Mr. Wen mean? What was he going to say next
Mr. Wen's expression changed, and he changed the subject and continued, "I have just asked a lawyer to sue Master Basil for the same crime. The lawyer's draft will be submitted to the court tomorrow morning."
Xia Ruya shrank her eyes, and then she understood what Grandpa Wen meant. He was using Lin Duoxue's matter to attract Master Basil, not giving her the slightest chance to argue, but leaving her speechless.
"Grandpa Wen, I... you... what do you mean?" Xia Ruya trembled her lips, wanting to explain, the explanation she was best at, but under Grandpa Wen's words, it seemed pale and weak and vulnerable, because the old man never mentioned her from beginning to end. If she took the initiative to explain, it would seem that she was trying to cover up something, and if she didn't explain, she would be acquiescing.
It's wrong either way.
Wen Xinya was amazed watching from the side. The old ones are the most experienced. Grandpa knew Xia Ruya's character very well and left her speechless.
Old Master Wen said calmly, "I know you have a history with Master Luo Le, and it was you who introduced Master Luo Le to diagnose your Aunt Ning's pulse, so I specially informed you, and it can be regarded as an explanation to you."
Xia Ruya's body went limp and she fell to the ground, feeling as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing. Old Master Wen's words had made it clear that the Wen family did not intend to pursue the matter with her. Now, whether she admitted it or not, whether she argued or not, it was all useless.
Old Master Wen looked at her with a trace of pity in his eyes: "You... take care of yourself!"
"Grandpa..." Xia Ruya raised her head and cried sadly. The wet tear marks on her face, the dry lines on her lips, and the choked and sad voice made her look so pitiful.
She used Ning Shuqian's pregnancy to deal with Wen Xinya. She thought of thousands of ways to exonerate herself and clear herself of all blame, but Wen Xinya schemed against her at every step and caught her off guard. All her excuses and defenses became pale and powerless.
Seeing her like this, Mr. Wen's heart softened and he sighed, "Ruya, you have been by my side since you were a child. I taught you all by myself. You are smart and scheming. You can judge the situation and use your means. You are insightful and discerning but also good at using people's hearts. You understand the world but know how to judge the degree. You can do everything just right and abide by your duties. You have always been a good child."
I used to feel satisfied with such a cautious child, but now, looking at him from a bystander's perspective, I can see clearly that this is not a character that the Wen family can cultivate.
Xia Ruya sobbed and crawled on the ground weakly.
Mr. Wen's voice was filled with emotion, and his expression was exhausted. "But I never thought that one day you would use your scheming to play with people's hearts and scheme against the Wen family. It's also my fault... You were very careful about your duties, and I thought you were educated in the orphanage. I felt sorry for you and raised your heart, which led to your current unfaithful character."
Xia Ruya had already burst into tears: "Grandpa, I didn't, I didn't..."
Old Master Wen interrupted her defense, looked at her steadily and said, "You are still the adopted daughter of the Wen family. This is an unchangeable fact. I don't want to pursue the past anymore. Don't say anything more."
After Xinya came back, he finally understood some of her little thoughts and actions, but he didn't expect that she would plot against the Wen family in this way.
