Wen Haowen headed straight to the office early in the morning. However, he could not focus at the thought of Wen Xinya being related to what happened to Ning Shuqian.
Less than two hours later, his assistant returned with the investigation report. Staring at the content, he turned as pale as a sheet and immediately finished up all his work. By the time he did, it was already the afternoon. He grabbed his coat and made his way to the car park before setting off to the Wen Family’s mansion in his car.
Wen Haowen strode into the living room. Upon sight of him, the servants hurriedly shunned and made way from him, for fear that he would take it out on them.
Wen Xinya was in the midst of speaking to Mrs. Wang in the living room. She exclaimed, “Father, you’re home!”
Wen Haowen glowered at her and asked, “Tell me, did you go to the hospital yesterday? Were you with Shen Mengting?”
Wen Xinya instantly knew that Ning Shuqian must have been the one who complained to him about getting stabbed by Shen Mengting. She knew that the truth would be out sooner or later and that no explanation she made would convince him.
Noticing that she was remaining quiet with her head hung low, Wen Haowen asked, “Do you have something to do with your Aunt Ning getting stabbed by Shen Mengting?”
Wen Haowen looked up and stared at Wen Haowen in bewilderment. She had turned as pale as a sheet and teared up. “Father, is that what Aunt Ning said?”
Wen Haowen would be overwhelmed with resentment whenever she saw the look of innocence on her face. “Don’t pretend to be innocent. Your Aunt Ning is too kindhearted. She’s been so tolerant and forgiving towards you. How could she possibly tell me about this?”
“Aunt Ning is kindhearted? Does that mean I’m vicious and cunning?” Wen Xinya retorted, feeling as if she had heard the greatest joke ever. If Ning Shuqian was kindhearted, there would be no vicious people on this earth. Extremely tolerant… as if!
She suddenly felt sympathetic towards Wen Haowen for having to face such a scheming and hypocritical woman for more than a decade. He had no idea that he was being manipulated like a puppet at all.
Noticing that she was staring at him in contempt, Wen Haowen said with a sullen expression on his face, “Stop trying to make excuses for yourself. I’ve already sent someone to look into it. You went to the sanatorium to look for Shen Mengting’s mother and you were also the one who sent them to the hospital because Shen Mengting’s mother had a seizure.”
Noticing the change in Wen Haowen’s expression and the look of fury on his face, she felt extremely embarrassed and pathetic for having a father like him. Why did I even try so hard to please him in my previous lifetime…
Seething with anger, Wen Haowen questioned, “Tell me. Were you the one who caused your Aunt Ning to be stabbed by Shen Mengting? When did you even get yourself acquainted with Shen Mengting? Didn’t you say that she stabbed you in school? Were you just lying then? You’re still so young and yet are already full of lies. You’re such a vicious person!”
Wen Haowen’s relationship with his father had become strained ever since Wen Xinya reunited with the Wen Family. He had also been facing lots of trouble and problems at the office. He was certain that Wen Xinya was the one stirring trouble.
Staring at him, Wen Xinya said, “Father, since you’ve checked everything so clearly, did you find out that Shen Mengting was stabbing Aunt Ning like crazy and that I was the one who risked my life to stop her from continuing?”
