Old Mr. Wen’s words sent a cold chill down Xia Ruya’s spine and she immediately stopped weeping. She stared at him in utter shock, as if she had lost her soul.

Old Mr. Wen said calmly, “You…”

“Grandpa Wen, are you suspecting that I deceived you by hiding the truth about Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy?” Xia Ruya questioned, staring at Old Mr. Wen in astonishment. Her face turned as pale as a sheet and there were tears in her almond-shaped eyes. Her beautiful lips had also turned paler and she put on a pitiful and vulnerable front.

Old Mr. Wen focused all of his attention on Xia Ruya and thought to himself, Things have already come to this and she still refuses to admit.

Xia Ruya put on a lopsided smile and appeared crestfallen and melancholic. She parted her lips gently and said pitifully, “Are you suspecting that I helped Ning Shuqian to plot against the Wen Family just because I sought Master Luo Le’s help to treat Ning Shuqian?”

It was as if she was utterly disappointed. Her refusal to explain put a frown on Old Mr. Wen’s face and he questioned, “What are you trying to say?”

Xia Ruya chuckled and said, “Grandpa, you’ve overestimated my abilities. Now that things have already come to this, what else can I possibly say? Grandpa, you’ve already decided that I’m in the wrong. Nothing I say will convince you and everything that I say will just come off as an excuse. Why should I stoop to that level?”

Old Mr. Wen’s words had hit the nail on the head, causing her to be at a loss for an explanation or reb.u.t.tal.

Old Mr. Wen glanced at her and said with a deepened frown, “Are you feeling indignant and angry?”

Xia Ruya’s smile became more and more melancholic and she said with misery, “Should I be feeling indignant and angry?”

Her voice was raspy and she sounded like she was mocking herself.

Old Mr. Wen said coldly, “The Wen Family did not let you down in any way.”

Seemingly not having heard his words, she said in a gentle voice, “There you go again, Grandpa. You’re always like this. You love deciding the fate and destiny of others without giving them the chance to reject at all. You don’t give others the chance to retaliate either.”

Old Mr. Wen was at a sudden loss for words.

Xia Ruya burst into tears in a ghastly and hideous manner. “Grandpa, just what am I to you? Back then, you were certain that I was the flesh and blood of the Wen Family and hence, you brought me home, showered me with love, care, and concern, and pampered me to no end. However, when you found out that I was not the biological child of the Wen Family, you made me return to square one and treated me coldly and heartlessly…”

Old Mr. Wen was utterly shocked, not expecting that Xia Ruya would mention the things that happened back then.

Xia Ruya bawled in agony and said, “You said that I’m the heiress of the Wen Family and the successor, the only flesh and blood of the Wen Family. Yet, you again claimed later that I’m the illegitimate daughter of the Xia Family and I had to accept that too. You’ve been taking control of my life and I was just like your puppet, at your mercy and subject to your manipulation. Do you think… I shouldn’t be feeling angry and indignant?”
