Chapter 17 - I Will Be Back, There Are Plenty of Opportunities (2/2)

Wen Yuya froze with fear. “Grandpa, I…”

Old Mr. Wen softened slightly. He said, “I am sorry to disappoint the two of you. Xinya’s Grampy called and asked me to bring her over so that she can stay with him for a while. She will return.”

Ning Shuqian was puzzled. Why wasn’t she being sent abroad? Why did the plan change to her staying in the Mo Family?

Ning Shuqian tried to explain. “Father…”

Old Mr. Wen had a ferocious look in his eyes. “When Xinya is away, if you create any more trouble, you will not get away with it. Either I or someone else will take care of you.”

Ning Shuqian shivered at the thought of how clear-minded Old Mr. Wen was. There were almost no evil intentions that could escape his eyes. She turned and looked at Wen Xinya, who was grinning with numbness. She had almost forgotten Wen Xinya had a connection with Old Mr. Mo.

Ning Shuqian suddenly regretted making the suggestion to let Wen Xinya go abroad. She had unintentionally created an excuse for her to go to the Mo Family. Old Mr. Mo held high-status in the literary world and everyone feared and respected him. Going to the Mo Family would be like adding wings to Wen Xinya’s back.

She started panicking just at the thought of it.

But she also remembered Old Mr. Mo had a cold temperament. When Ruya entered the Wen Family years ago, he didn’t treat her very well. They only met during special occasions and did not have a close relationship. All these years Ruya didn’t receive any benefits from the Mo Family.

In comparison, Wen Xinya was even more unrefined. It’s unlikely Old Mr. Mo would be nice to her, and she too wouldn’t receive any benefits from the Mo Family.

Old Mr. Wen looked at Wen Yuya sharply. “Whatever the Wen Family has given to you, we can also take it back easily. If that ever happens, even your stepfather wouldn’t be able to protect you.”

He emphasized the word “stepfather” with purpose, signaling her to take his words as a severe warning.

Wen Yuya turned pale with fear. She clenched her fists hard. Hatred filled her eyes. It was all that bitch, Wen Xinya’s fault. Otherwise, Grandpa wouldn’t treat her badly.

Wen Xinya, watch and see. I will not let you die in peace!

Old Mr. Wen knew what they were thinking. Xinya was away for 15 years and had an unglamorous past. She had no relationship with the Wen Family. Moreover, Old Madam Wen and Wen Haowen didn’t like her. Once they succeeded in making the Wen Family detest Xinya, they would be the rightful heirs to the Wen Family’s wealth.

Xinya’s return had triggered Ning Shuqian and her daughter’s greed! And it created an opportunity for them to act in accordance with the greed within.

Old Mr. Wen stomped out of the living room furiously.

Wen Xinya slowly walked towards Ning Shuqian and stood in front of her. She bent down and whispered into her ear, “Hold on, I will be back! There are… plenty of opportunities!”

Wen Xinya’s light breathing landed on her ears. It felt itchy and irritating, as if a caterpillar was crawling on her ears. Ning Shuqian said with a forced smile, “Xinya, I don’t understand what you mean.”

Wen Xinya came face to face with her expressionless. Her lengthy fingers pointed at her chest and said, “It doesn’t matter. As long as your heart understands.”

Wen Xinya’s action caused Ning Shuqian’s heart to race— Lub-dub, Lub-dub . When she finally started calming herself down, Wen Xinya had already walked out of the Wen Mansion.
