Old Mr. Wen was reading some newspapers when a frown creased his forehead, forming a deep dent in his face. He looked extremely cold and austere.

The sounds of him flipping through newspapers filled the air in the silent living room.

Wen Xinya took a glance at the sullen expression on her grandfather’s face.

Old Mr. Wen placed the newspapers down and pressed his pale lips together. “Xinya, there have been lots of reports about Ruya all over the news lately. What are your thoughts?”

He looked at Wen Xinya, well aware that she was a sensible and decisive girl. Hence, he would seek her opinion on lots of matters.

Hanging her head low, Wen Xinya handed Old Mr. Wen an apple and said, “I don’t know Miss Xia too well. Hence, I can’t make any comment.”

She knew better than to criticize Xia Ruya in front of her grandfather. After all, Xia Ruya had lived with the Wen Family for twelve years and was much closer to them than she was. Besides, the scheming Xia Ruya had kept her image too well. Wen Xinya wouldn’t waste time trying to shame her.

Old Mr. Wen grabbed the apple and looked at Wen Xinya’s coolness and collectedness. Ever since she returned to the Wen Family, she would often refer Xia Ruya as Miss Xia and kept an aloof and distant attitude towards her. Old Mr. Wen said, “Ruya grew up in the Wen Family and has always been an obedient child who follows the rules. She rarely patronizes nightclubs and bars. Those scandals must have been fabricated. It’s obvious that someone is trying to frame her.”

Wen Xinya hung her head low and listened without making any comment. She was well aware that Xia Ruya had put in lots of effort to maintain her image as a pure and innocent girl, especially when she was with the Wen Family. The Wen Family would never believe that she was a wild girl, even if the entire world did.

Xia Ruya had done lots of vicious things to her in their previous lifetime, and whenever she tried to complain and seek help from the Wen Family, all she got in return were harsh scoldings. Reason being, Xia Ruya was perpetually classy, elegant, gentle, and magnanimous to the Wen Family, unlike Wen Xinya, who was angst, reckless, and hot-tempered. Hence, they would forever put the blame on her.

Old Mr. Wen looked at Wen Xinya to see that she had a gloomy look in her eyes. “There’s a photo of Ruya that was taken on the day of Zhou Tianyu’s birthday party that was published in the news and tabloids. I’ve consulted a professional and got him to analyze the photo. It’s real and hasn’t been digitally altered. I remember Yuya committing some misdeeds during the party, but how did it concern Ruya? You were also there that night. Do you know what happened?”

Wen Xinyae said calmly, “One of the waiters spilled some drinks on me and Zhou Tianyu told her butler to take me to her room to get changed. I’m not sure what actually happened, and I only heard about it from others. However, Ning Yuya and Miss Xia used to be inseparable. I’m not surprised that she was implicated.”

Grandpa just said that someone is framing Xia Ruya and now, he brought up the incident that took place during Tianyu’s birthday party. There are no secrets in the circle, and many people witnessed Ning Yuya and Xia Ruya embarrassing themselves. Grandpa can easily find out about what happened. He must have started suspecting something.

Old Mr. Wen’s eyes glistened. Having been a businessman for years, he could tell that there were lots of fishy things just by hearing Wen Xinya’s recount. The fact that Wen Xinya told him about her changing out of her wet clothes simply meant that she had nothing to hide. However, he was certain that she must have known what happened. Was she trying to avoid the question, or did she not want to be implicated?
