Old Mrs. Wen interrupted Xia Ruya’s sentence with her eyes wide open. “Old man, what are you talking about? Did Wen Xinya said anything to you? I knew she was a curse to the family. What did Ruya do to offend her? Just because she didn’t like Ruya doesn’t mean that Ruya cannot come to the Wen family to visit us. Who does she think she is?”

“Xinya did not speak ill of anyone in front of me. Even if she had voiced out her unhappiness to me, what’s wrong with that?” Old Mr. Wen took a deep breath and gave Xia Ruya a glance. Her words seemed harmless, but she spoke with a hidden purpose. Well, it made Old Mrs. Wen think that Xinya spoke ill of her in front of Grandpa.

Xia Ruya was lost at Old Mr. Wen’s stare. She subconsciously lowered her head and said, “Grandpa… I understand. You’ve found your biological granddaughter and do not need me anymore. I… I understand. I’ll visit the Wen Family less frequently and not make Xinya unhappy. I… only wish to see Grandma more often. Grandma… has always loved me dearly.”

If Wen Xinya was present, she would have looked at Xia Ruya as a really shameless person. Old Mr. Wen had already made it clear to her and she still said she would visit the Wen Family less frequently…

Indeed, when Xia Ruya had just completed her sentence, Old Mrs. Wen immediately continued, “I don’t agree. Ruya has grown up by my side for the past 12 years. Even if you don’t want her, I still her. What right does Wen Xinya have to be unhappy about Ruya coming to visit me? As the Grandma in the family, do I have to act according to Wen Xinya’s wishes?”

Old Mr. Wen realized that whenever Xia Ruya was present, he could not get his message across. Whatever he said, Xia Ruya would always refer to Xinya, thus deepening Old Mrs. Wen unhappiness towards Xinya. He did not bother to insist on his point further. “I’m not forbidding her of visiting us, I only said she should come less frequently. You’re aware of the recent scandal in our family. Who knows, Ruya might be an innocent party to be dragged into the whole episode?” he said.

His words finally knocked some sense into Old Mrs. Wen. She agreed and also started to advise Xia Ruya to come to the Wen Family’s mansion less frequently. Xia Ruya became speechless and could not defend herself any further.

Ning Shuqian was the mastermind behind the entire scandal incident. She was the one who manipulated the string of events and therefore would not get Xia Ruya involved. Xia Ruya had initially wanted to make good use of this opportunity to get into the good books of the two elderly. Once the Wen Family abandoned Wen Xinya, they would start to think about her who had grown up by their side for the past 12 years. Looking at the current situation, her plans did not seem to have worked.

Xia Ruya left the Wen Family’s mansion with unsettled emotions.

As the phone rang, Old Mr. Wen answered it. It was a call from Wen Corporation’s shareholders. The majority of these senior shareholders were the pioneers of the company. They had a very close relationship with Old Mr. Wen.

“Old Wen, I don’t have any bad intentions. You have taken great efforts and finally found the only heir to the Wen Family. I’m certainly happy for you as a friend. Pardon my frankness but, with such an unfilial granddaughter with such an unglamorous past, she will bring a negative impact to your family from now onwards! I know kinship matters to you. Why don’t you just provide some financial support to her and fulfill your duties as a grandparent? Do not let her harm the reputation of the Wen Corporation which you’ve built spending your life’s effort. It took a great deal for us to make the corporation the great success of today. How can you bear to let it suffer? I suggest that you send her abroad, it will…”

“Old Zhang, Xinya is only 15-years-old; she’s still a young kid. And kids can be rebellious at times. There’s a famous saying—the gem cannot be polished without friction, nor man perfected without trials. Furthermore, she is my biological granddaughter. If I send her abroad, the media will again make a story out of it, saying that the Wen Family chose to abandon kinship over the benefit of our corporation.” He was clear-minded and was aware that it must have been an act by his son, instigating the shareholders to persuade him.

Wen Haowen got home in a rush. He saw Old Mr. Wen and immediately informed. “Father, I have already secured an air ticket for Xinya to the United States this afternoon. I’ve also gotten her passport ready.”

Old Mr. Wen hung up and stared at him plainly. “Who said we are sending Xinya abroad?”
