Chapter 508: A Call from GrampyTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Instead of entering the room to see Ning Shuqian, Wen Xinya walked out of the hospital slowly.

She did not expect that Ning Shuqian would execute her next move at the Wen Corporation annual gala after keeping a low profile for two years. Ning Shuqian had even used her pregnancy to embarra.s.s Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya could totally imagine what the headlines would be like tomorrow; they’d no longer be about Xia Ruya appearing in the same outfit as Sun Xiaorou, but rather an accusation against Wen Xinya, claiming that she had caused her stepmother to fall and almost suffer a miscarriage. Once the news spread like wildfire, the media was also going to start doubting her ident.i.ty as the successor of the Wen Family.

Wen Xinya took a deep breath. As much as she hated to admit, Ning Shuqian’s scheming plan was indeed impressive.

Due to the fact that she had been too preoccupied with being restricted by her memories of the previous lifetime, she did not expect that Ning Shuqian would use her pregnancy against her.

Fortunately, she had kept things within her control.

Although Wen Haowen had mentioned about disowning her, Old Mr. Wen’s words had stabilized her position in the Wen Family and she believed that she would one day grow to the point of being completely independent of the Wen Family. She believed that she could s.n.a.t.c.h everything that belonged to her, using her own capabilities.

After calming herself down, Wen Xinya whipped out her mobile phone and sent an email to the Tianchao Private Investigation Agency. She was bent on making an issue out of Xia Ruya coincidentally appearing in the same outfit as Sun Xiaorou. Since I was unlucky to have been framed by Ning Shuqian, I must drag Xia Ruya down with me and get her to share some of the attention with me.

At this moment, she received a call from Old Mr. Mo.

Wen Xinya teared up at the thought of everything that happened at the hospital and the bruises on her body, as well as how aggrieved she felt. She got a grip on her emotions before picking up the call.

Old Mr. Mo sounded extremely aged and anxious. “Xinya, where are you now? I tried to call you just now but I couldn’t reach you at all.”

During the banquet, he had witnessed Ning Shuqian accusing Wen Xinya and Wen Haowen hitting her in front of everyone. However, it was the Wen Family’s issue, so it would be inappropriate for him to intervene. Furthermore, he did not want to complicate matters and make Wen Xinya feel even more awkward, though he was exasperated.

Hence, he decided to look for Old Mr. Wen and inform him of the matter. By the time he was done talking to Old Mr. Wen, Wen Xinya was no longer at the banquet hall and could not be reached by phone either. He was filled with worry at the thought of what happened.

Wen Xinya covered the microphone and sniffled while holding her tears back. She then answered calmly, “Grampy, I’m at the hospital now. I think the reception is poor here. That’s why you couldn’t reach me.”

Old Mr. Mo instantly knew what she was at the hospital for. Although he admired her for being able to remain composed, he was extremely sympathetic towards her as well. “How are your injuries? Ruoruo has concocted some ointment for you. Remember to apply them when you’re home. The medicine provided by the hospital is not as potent as the ones concocted by Ruoruo.”

“Yes! Got it,” said Wen Xinya. Although she tried to hold her tears back, she could not stop them from rolling down her cheeks. She suddenly realized that the wound on her face hurt and she felt an excruciating, stinging pain in the corner of her lips.

Old Mr. Mo’s heart softened the moment he heard her sobs. “Remember to apply some ice to your face before putting on the ointment. You’ll recover sooner that way.”

Wen Xinya murmured a.s.sent.
