Chapter 163: It’s Hard to Be a Stepmother

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The news of Wen Yuya being sent overseas after she was kicked out of the Wen Family, as well as Wen Haowen moving out of the family with his wife, spread like a wildfire within the circle.

n.o.body dared question Wen Xinya’s position as the successor of the Wen Family now that she had displayed her authority.

No matter what people said, Wen Xinya did not pay any attention. She followed Grampy’s advice and kept a low profile during this period, immersing herself in her studies.

While Wen Xinya was reading about Chinese medicine and memorizing the various types, effects, and uses of herbs, her phone rang.

She put down her book and picked up her phone. To her surprise, Ning Shuqian was the one calling her. The world must be ending soon for Ning Shuqian who hated her to the core to actually call her.

However, every action Ning Shuqian took had an ulterior motive behind it. There must be a scheme behind this sudden call. Wen Xinya mentally prepared herself as she answered the phone.

Wen Xinya did not bother with the fake formalities and went straight to the point. “Aunt Ning, why are you calling me?”

Ning Shuqian replied, “It’s nothing much. I just wanted to ask you to go shopping with me.”

“Shopping?” Wen Xinya exclaimed in shock. She didn’t expect Ning Shuqian to call her for something so trivial.

Ning Shuqian replied sweetly, “Yes, we have not gone shopping together in a long time. Are you free today?”

She made it sound as if they had gone out together many times in the past. If her memory served her correctly, she and Ning Shuqian had only gone shopping once when she first returned to the Wen Family. “Sure! I just so happen to be free today. Let’s go shopping!”

She wanted to know what Ning Shuqian was planning. She did not believe that Ning Shuqian would stop her schemes just because Ning Yuya was sent overseas. In fact… she should be planning a thousand different ways to avenge her daughter.

“That’s great. Ever since Yuya went abroad, it has been really boring shopping alone.” Ning Shuqian said, sounding especially happy.

Wen Xinya didn’t believe her one bit. Ning Shuqian still had Xia Ruya even if Ning Yuya was sent overseas, and Xia Ruya would definitely be more than happy to keep her company.

They agreed to meet at Pearl Street, and Tao drove Wen Xinya there.

When Wen Xinya reached, Ning Shuqian was already there waiting for her.

Ning Shuqian had a sweet smile on her face. “Xinya, you are here.”

Wen Xinya matched her smile and replied, “Aunt Ning, sorry to make you wait.”

Ning Shuqian looked at her with such kindness and a broad smile, playing the perfect role of a calm and loving stepmother. “I’ve only just reached as well. By the way, Xinya, it’s been a few days since you moved into the Wen mansion. Are you used to living there?”

Ning Shuqian’s voice was filled with gentleness, as if she really cared for her from the bottom of her heart, with no ulterior motive.

This was the one thing that Wen Xinya feared most about Ning Shuqian. “I’m fine! Aunt Ning, you must’ve forgotten that I’ve already lived in the mansion for a few days before I moved in with the Mo Family. Of course, I’m used to living there.”
