Chapter 14 - Are You Jealous of—Me? (2/2)

Wen Haowen begged to differ. “If she didn’t have a past like that, no one would be able to bad-mouth her.”

Old Mr. Wen sighed. “Regarding Xinya’s past, the Wen Family owns her much. She didn’t have a choice to live like that. Let’s not bring this matter up anymore.”

After finishing his sentence, Old Mr. Wen stood up and walked to the study room upstairs.

“Father!” Wen Haowen pursued.

“What a disaster! Since you returned to the Wen Family, we have not had a day of peace. Sigh . It was a very different situation than when Ruya was around.” Old Madam Wen stared hard at Wen Xinya. She followed them immediately as she was afraid that Wen Haowen and his father would start quarreling.

Only Wen Xinya, Ning Shuqian, and Wen Yuya remained in the living room.

Wen Yuya raised her eyebrow and seemed content at what had just happened. She said, “Don’t ever think you are the real Miss Wen despite having returned to the Wen Family. In this family, only Grandpa acknowledges you.”

Wen Xinya clenched her fists so tightly that her fingers turned colorless. Her sharp fingernails pressed against her palms, the pain almost piercing through her heart. She took a deep breath and forced her tears back. “I’m the eldest Miss Wen. This is an undeniable truth.”

Every word sounded strong and crisp. Her voice had a hidden strength that was unchallengeable. She looked cold and unshakable. Wen Yuya was stunned and didn’t know how to react.

“Why are you always against me? Are you jealous of me?” Her expression turned from gentle to cold and unbothered, especially at the last few words.

Wen Yuya unconsciously shivered and slowly recovered from her daze. Wen Xinya’s words were like a sharp arrow that shot right through her heart, making Wen Yuya turn pale. She responded angrily, “Don’t spout nonsense! Why do I have to be jealous of you? Do you know your etiquette on the dining table? Do you know social dancing? How about red wine tasting? I know all that you don’t. You are just an unrefined girl, a gangster from the streets. Don’t think too highly of yourself.”

Wen Xinya smiled coldly and said, “Yes, I am indeed not worthy. But the title of ‘eldest Miss Wen’ is well worthy.”

Wen Yuya suddenly jumped up from the sofa and wanted to rebuke. “You…”

Ning Shuqian held and patted Wen Yuya’s hand, trying to console her. She said, “The title of ‘eldest Miss Wen’ is indeed worthy. But not everyone is able to match this title.”

Wen Yuya realized her mother was right. Her anger was gone. She started to gloat over Wen Xinya’s misfortune with a wide smile on her face. “What is the point of arguing? There’s nothing you can do. It doesn’t help to put a false front. You will soon get into deep trouble.”

Wen Yuya’s words acted as a reminder to Wen Xinya. She felt a strong sense of danger coming to her.

“Mother Wang, please get someone to send breakfast to my backyard shortly,” said Ning Shuqian while pulling Wen Yuya away.

Now, only Wen Xinya was left in the living room. She saw Mother Wang walking towards upstairs with breakfast in her hands. “Mother Wang, is this Grandpa’s breakfast? Please pass it to me! I will bring it upstairs,” she requested.

Mother Wang gladly passed the breakfast to Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya brought breakfast to Old Mr. Wen’s study room. She was approaching the door when she heard a commotion inside.
