Chapter 609 - Grandpa Wen, Are You Suspecting Me? (2/2)

Old Mr. Wen kept his eyes fixed on her coldly with an austere expression. “The doctors at the hospital have already verified that Ning Shuqian is not pregnant and that her former physician, Lin Mengxue, is indeed her secondary school classmate. Ning Shuqian had bribed others and pulled her connections to transfer Lin Mengxue to the hospital. The hospital authorities have also stated that Lin Mengxue made a false diagnosis and helped Ning Shuqian falsify her medical reports and condition. They’ve also decided to charge Lin Mengxue and file a lawsuit against her.”

Xia Ruya looked at Old Mr. Wen in astonishment as if she had no idea why he was telling her that.

Deep down, ripples formed in her heart and she wondered, What is Old Mr. Wen trying to drive at? What is he going to say next?

Old Mr. Wen continued, “I’ve already called my lawyer to sue Master Luo Le for the same reasons. The lawyer will file the case in the court tomorrow morning.”

Xia Ruya’s pupils constricted, finally understanding what Old Mr. Wen meant. He was merely trying to make her speechless and at the loss for words for an argument by citing the examples about Luo Le and Lin Mengxue.

“Grandpa Wen, I… you… what do you mean?” Xia Ruya asked, her lips trembling uncontrollably in a bid to explain herself. Although she had always been an expert at explaining herself, she was weak and speechless after hearing Old Mr. Wen’s words. Reason being, he had never mentioned a word about her yet and if she were to explain herself first, it would seem like she had a guilty conscience. However, if she chose to stay mum, it would seem like she was admitting to it.

Nothing she did would be right.

Wen Xinya watched on in awe of her grandfather. Indeed, he was experienced and could render Xia Ruya speechless with seemingly no effort at all.

Old Mr. Wen said calmly, “I know you have some ties with Master Luo Le and that you were the one who requested for him to take Ning Shuqian’s pulse. So, I decided to inform you so as to give you an answer.”

Xia Ruya lost her balance and immediately fell onto the ground, feeling as if the world had come crashing down on her. Old Mr. Wen’s words meant that the Wen Family did not plan to pursue the matter and hold her liable. Hence, no amount of explanation, and whether or not she chose to admit, would make a difference.

Old Mr. Wen stared at her with a tinge of sympathy in his gaze and said, “You… should know what to do!”

“Grandpa…” Xia Ruya looked up and began weeping in agony with tears flowing out of her eyes like a broken faucet. Her cracked lips and sobbing voice made her look extremely pitiful.

She had racked her brains and come up with a million ways to shirk the responsibility of using Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy to deal with Wen Xinya. Yet, Wen Xinya’s scheming plot had caught her off guard and caused her to be at a loss for explanation and excuses.

Old Mr. Wen’s heart softened and he said with a sigh, “Ruya, you grew up alongside me and I have taught you ever since you were young. You’re intelligent and ambitious, shrewd and careful, yet kindhearted and meticulous. You’re understanding and you always act appropriately. You’re really a good child.”

He used to be extremely satisfied with how careful and meticulous she was. Yet, now that he looked at things from a bystander’s viewpoint, he felt that she was indeed not like a child belonging to the Wen Family.

Xia Ruya continued to weep and sprawled herself across the ground feebly.

Old Mr. Wen said in exhaustion and disappointment, “However, I’ve never expected that you would one day use your scheming wit to manipulate others and plot against the Wen Family. It’s all my fault… I used to think that you were cautious because of the personality that you had developed after staying in the orphanage. I took pity on you and showered you with love. Yet, I’ve also caused your ambitiousness and greed to grow.”

Xia Ruya’s voice had become hoarse from the crying. “Grandpa, I didn’t, I didn’t…”

Old Mr. Wen interrupted her explanation and stared at her calmly. “The fact that you’re the Wen Family’s adopted daughter cannot be changed. I don’t wish to pursue the matters in the past either. Don’t say anything else.”

Ever since Wen Xinya returned, he had seen through Xia Ruya’s cheap tricks and scheming thoughts. However, he did not expect that she would plot against the Wen Family.
