She’s gone crazy!
Shock and fear were written all over everyone’s faces. They constantly thought about Old Mr. Du’s words and hurriedly sent Ning Shuqian to the hospital.
The doctor sedated her, after which she finally got a grip on her emotions and slipped into slumber.
The Wen Family members were all mentally and physically exhausted.
Xia Ruya returned to the Wen Family home to see that the lights were still on. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest and an ominous feeling filled her heart. She then clenched her fist and took a deep breath before entering the living room.
Old Mr. Wen was sitting on the couch with a sullen and tense expression on his face and an icy cold gaze in his eyes. He looked extremely stern and aloof with his lips pressed into a line.
Old Mrs. Wen was seated beside him, appearing extremely ill at ease.
Wen Haowen, too, had a sullen expression on his face, and his usual neat and slick hair was now in a complete mess.
Xia Ruya shifted her gaze onto Wen Xinya who was seated at the side.
Seemingly having sensed that Xia Ruya was staring at her, Wen Xinya looked up at her with a cold composure. Her beautiful lips curled into a smug smirk and she seemed to be mocking Xia Ruya…
Xia Ruya’s heart dropped and she felt like she was going to suffocate because of the overwhelming ominous feeling.
Xia Ruya walked towards them slowly and asked, “Grandpa Wen, Grandma Wen, Uncle Wen, Xinya, it’s already so late. Why aren’t you guys resting yet?”
Since the exposure of Ning Shuqian’s fake pregnancy had been blown out of proportion, Xia Ruya would definitely be implicated. Hence, she had deliberately stayed behind at the hospital under the pretext of accompanying Ning Shuqian for a long while before returning to the Wen Family home. She thought that the Wen Family members must have already fallen asleep since it was the wee hours of the night and that the buffer time would be sufficient for her to stay out of trouble.
She looked at the clock on the wall to see that it was already 1 AM.
No one answered her. Turning as pale as a sheet, Xia Ruya forced a smile and said, “Aunt Ning’s condition has become stable but the doctor said that she’s still emotionally unstable and will have to be hospitalized for further observation.”
She did not expect that Ning Shuqian would be diagnosed with a mental illness.
Old Mr. Wen stared at her coldly and questioned, “Ruya, did you know about Ning Shuqian faking her pregnancy?”
He did not beat around the bush and chose to cut straight to the chase instead. Having lived with her for twelve years, he was well aware of her character.
Xia Ruya took a few steps back abruptly and stared at him in disbelief. “Grandpa Wen… you… are you suspecting me?”
Her lips quivered like a withering flower in Autumn, swaying uncontrollably from side to side. It was as if she could not withstand the impact of wind and rain, completely vulnerable and on the verge of becoming ruined.
