Chapter 528 - Your Pregnancy Wont Pose a Threat to My Status (2/2)

Keeping her eyes fixed onto Ning Shuqian, Wen Xinya said coldly, “Actually, even if you pretend to have a tummy ache, it’s not really going to work. Once I take your pulse, I’ll know if you’re really pregnant or not. If Grandma and Grandpa don’t believe me, I’ll then suggest that you undergo a checkup by another doctor. By then, the truth will be out.”

She glared at Ning Shuqian coldly, seemingly having seen through her soul. Not only was she indirectly threatening her, but she also tried to sound her out and warn Ning Shuqian that her pregnancy posed no threat to her. If she were really pregnant, she would not be afraid of a doctor’s checkup.

“Xinya, please don’t say that. You and I are the same. I’m worried that you’d harm my child. After all… my child is going to cause you to no longer be the only successor of the Wen Family. Besides… you might actually be stripped off your t.i.tle as successor,” said Ning Shuqian, who did not show her fear and worry. Just like what Xia Ruya had warned her about, Wen Xinya had really doubted her pregnancy.

Wen Xinya believed that Ning Shuqian was smart enough not to continue making use of her pregnancy. Hence, she walked towards Ning Shuqian and whispered, “Don’t be too quick to sound so confident. We’ll only find out in a few months, whether or not you’re really pregnant.”

Ning Shuqian’s heart began to pound rapidly, and Wen Xinya’s cold and terrifying voice rang in her ears continuously. It was as if her voice had penetrated into her soul. After all, she was indeed faking her pregnancy and hence, felt worried about her lie getting exposed.

Just as Ning Shuqian was about to answer, Wen Xinya hurriedly retreated and stared at Ning Shuqian from afar. She guffawed and said, “Everyone says that pregnancy makes women dull-witted. Seems like you’re no exception, Aunt Ning! I’ll be turning eighteen very soon and Grandpa has instructed Soaring Public Relations company to organize my coming-of-age ceremony.”

All Ning Shuqian had been thinking about was how she should use her pregnancy as an excuse and cause more trouble in the Wen Family. Yet, she actually forgot about such an important matter because she had been overly confident.

Ning Shuqian’s eyes widened in shock. It was merely a coming-of-age ceremony and yet the old man has handed it over to Soaring Public Relations company. He’s just planning to use the coming-of-age ceremony to inform everyone not to doubt Wen Xinya’s status as the successor of the Wen Family.

I actually didn’t know about it.

Wen Xinya’s rosy lips curled into a smile and she sneered. “So… your pregnancy is not going to pose a threat to me.”

“You…” Ning Shuqian clenched her jaw in exasperation. Despite having risked her health and put in lots of effort, her plan did not work out in the end.

Wen Xinya smiled and continued, “By the way, did my father tell you? If you give birth to a son, Grandpa will discipline the child himself and neither you nor father can intervene. Otherwise… your son will not be fit to be the successor of the Wen Family.”

Wen Xinya was certain that Wen Haowen did not tell Ning Shuqian about what Old Mr. Wen had said at all, for he was afraid of agitating her.

“You… you’re lying!” Ning Shuqian exclaimed, her face turning as pale as a sheet. Regardless of whether she was pregnant or not, she could not tolerate Old Mr. Wen’s actions. Isn’t he just trying to come in between me and the child? If I can’t depend on my child, what can I do in the Wen Family?

Wen Xinya stared at her and gibed. “If you don’t believe me, you may ask my father about it. By the way… don’t tell Father that I was the one who told you this. Otherwise, he’ll definitely teach me a lesson too!”

Ning Shuqian gritted her teeth, overwhelmed with resentment and anger. The Wen Family is actually so heartless and cruel towards me.
