The orange and red sunlight of the early morning arrived with clouds of mist, causing the viburnum tree from outside the windows to pass through the light blue screenings, infiltrating the bedroom. The light, warm yellow shadows brought rays of soft light.

With a rare good night’s sleep, Wen Xinya sat up in her bed and stretched. Getting up, she walked to the window and opened the light blue colored screenings. A branch of viburnum flowers peeked out. All she had to do was stretch her arm and touch it.

The morning was slightly cold, and the viburnum flowers outside the window were in full bloom, inviting Xinya with the slightly cold moisture in the surrounding atmosphere. The warm sun refracted brightly and beautifully.

Today would be a wonderful day!

With that thought in mind, she turned and went to the bathroom to wash up. She changed into a white gown, which was left behind by Xia Ruya. Xia Ruya was dressed and fed like royalty, so even at 15 years old, she was already 163 centimeters tall. Even the growth of her body had good proportions. Unlike Xinya, who was starved as a child and grew up to be only 158 centimeters tall. With a skinny body, her growth could not be considered great. Wearing Xia Ruya’s clothes was really not a good fit for her.

When she first arrived in the Wen Family, she was mesmerized by the variety of beautiful clothes in the wardrobe and did not care about whether they fit her. Hence, the Wen Family did not think that she needed new, fitting clothes.

However, now, she would not be moved like she was in the past. Whatever belonged to her, she would fiercely fight for it!

As she arrived in the living room, Grandpa and Father were reading the newspaper, Grandma was talking to Ning Shuqian, and Wen Yuya was happily playing games on her phone. Xinya smiled and greeted, “Grandpa, Grandma, good morning! Father, Aunt Ning, good morning! Sister Yu, good morning!”

Grandpa put down the newspaper, glanced at the dress that did not fit her and frowned. He then gently asked, “Did you sleep well last night?”

“I slept well!” As Wen Xinya caught sight of his tightly knitted brows, she lowered her head to inspect herself. Then, she cowardly went to sit next to Wen Yuya.

Grandpa nodded and returned to his newspaper.

Grandma only glanced at her once, then returned to talking with Ning Shuqing.

Ning Shuqing smiled towards her then turned away.

Only Wen Yuya kept her head down, playing games on her phone, acting as though Wen Xinya did not exist.

Wen Xinya did not mind either.

However, Grandpa frowned. He put down the newspaper in his hands and shouted, “Did you not hear your older sister greet you? Did you feed the manners you were taught to the dog?”

Pa! Grandpa’s cold words scared Wen Yuya until she turned white and dropped her phone on the floor.
