Old Mr. Wen used to look at her with satisfaction and awe. However, he only realized now that she was much more intelligent than he had thought.
He used to compare Wen Xinya to Xia Ruya all the time and find that she was inferior to Xia Ruya.
However, he finally realized that Xia Ruya was inferior to Wen Xinya.
Xia Ruya was brilliant at hiding her ulterior motives and pulling scheming moves while Wen Xinya was brilliant at making her life better. She had found the position that she belonged to and withheld everything that she owned, shining brightly in her own unique way. She managed to gain his recognition bit by bit and allowed herself to shine.
How could such an outstanding girl be inferior to anyone else?
Old Mr. Wen looked at her with a complicated mix of emotions. He then said, “You’re a genuinely upright girl. Ruya is inferior to you.”
Wen Xinya smiled calmly without uttering a single word.
Old Mr. Wen knew that she did not wish to continue talking about that topic. He asked, “When did you find out that Ning Shuqian was not actually pregnant?”
Having lived through the decades, he had experienced almost everything that the world had to offer. Although he took pity on Xia Ruya, he soon got a grip on his emotions. The most important thing to deal with now was Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy issue.
Wen Xinya answered, “I found out about it long ago, but I couldn’t find any clues or evidence. Hence, I couldn’t expose her.”
She had indeed gotten incredibly frustrated about Ning Shuqian’s fake pregnancy, thus compelling her to focus all her energy on her coming-of-age ceremony.
She was just trying to drag Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya into the matter. She had slowly lured Xia Ruya into her trap, after which she took the chance to expose her true colors in front of the Wen Family.
She had managed to kill two birds with one stone.
Every step of hers was well planned and premeditated.
Old Mr. Wen said calmly, “Hence, you used your coming-of-age ceremony to expose Ning Shuqian’s fake pregnancy and paid her back in her own coin?”
He had long found out about Wen Xinya’s plans. What she had done during the coming-of-age ceremony was truly impressive and had caught him by surprise.
Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Ning Shuqian was trying to use her child to deal with me. I naturally won’t let her off easily. Besides, she’s very scheming and manipulates Father very well. If I didn’t expose her in that manner, she would have definitely found a way to save herself.”
She had to hit the jackpot. Otherwise, Ning Shuqian would definitely stir even more trouble.
“Have you ever thought that your actions would cause the Wen Family’s reputation to be affected? You might have even caused the Wen Family to become the talk of the town,” Old Mr. Wen said with a frown. In fact, he did not approve of Wen Xinya’s actions. After all, dirty linen should not be washed in public.
Having naturally understood his concerns, Wen Xinya smiled calmly and said, “Grandpa, I understand your concerns. However, Ning Shuqian is still the illicit daughter-in-law of the Wen Family and the matter will blow over with time…”
Old Mr. Wen nodded and said, “You’re right. Ever since your father married Ning Shuqian, everyone in the circle has treated us like a joke. This doesn’t matter anymore.”
