Ning Shuqian tried to use her fake pregnancy to deal with Wen Xinya. After several failed attempts, Xia Ruya had finally seen clearly that Wen Xinya was no longer the same person that she used to be. She was no longer the Wen Xinya who did not have a stable position in the Wen Family and the upper-class society.

She had gained the recognition of Old Mr. Wen using her own abilities, so much that even Ning Shuqian’s child could not pose a threat to her. She had also built her own social circle and established her own network of connections.

Not only did she manage to foil the plan that I hatched meticulously and used Du Ruo to test if Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy is real, but she also even managed to make Old Mr. Wen raise suspicions about Ning Shuqian. My plan didn’t work out.

Besides, Wen Xinya has already verified that Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy is fake. She’ll definitely do everything she can to expose Ning Shuqian. The situation is disadvantageous to us!

Once a lie was told, it would have to be covered up by numerous lies.

A sullen expression formed on Ning Shuqian’s face, her overbearing resentment making her look extremely terrifying. “Wen Xinya, you little bitch. She’s actually so difficult to deal with. I was initially planning to use the herbal recipes to sow discord between her and the Wen Family. Yet, she actually took the chance to take advantage and retaliate against me.”

Ning Shuqian broke out into cold sweat at the thought of Wen Xinya’s suggestion to have Du Ruo take her pulse, which the Wen Family had agreed to. She even had a nightmare last night, during which the Wen Family found out about her fake pregnancy and Old Mr. and Mrs. Wen berated her while Wen Haowen flew into a rage and divorced her. In the end, she was chased out of the Wen Family and ended up having to work in a nightclub. She then developed lots of sexual diseases and was thrown onto the streets, stark naked.

She was jolted awake during the nightmare, drenched in cold sweat.

“We’ve truly belittled Wen Xinya. She’s become much more scheming in the past two years,” Xia Ruya said while staring at the grotesque expression on Ning Shuqian’s face.

Throughout the twelve years that Ning Shuqian had been living with the Wen Family, she had been trying her best to imitate Mo Yunyao’s graciousness and hide her boorishness. Having lived in luxury for eighteen years, the privileged environment gave her a sense of superiority and she had gradually begun acting like a wealthy lady. However… even then, she could not hide her true nature.

Although Ning Shuqian did not wish to accept that truth, she had no choice but to admit that Xia Ruya was right. Suppressing her resentment, Ning Shuqian said, “Thank god you were quick to react and managed to save me using Master Luo Le. However… after this, Father-in-law is definitely going to be displeased with me. It’s going to be harder and harder to sow discord between Father-in-law and Wen Xinya.”

After some thought, Ning Shuqian realized that hers and Wen Haowen’s lives had gotten much better ever since they moved back to the Wen Family home. Although Old Mr. Wen was still blowing hot and cold to Wen Haowen, he was no longer as stern or harsh as before. She believed that Old Mr. Wen would definitely become soft-hearted as long as they continued to work hard and get into his good books.

After all, Wen Haowen was still the flesh and blood of Old Mr. Wen and Wen Xinya could not replace him at all. Without Old Mr. Wen’s support, Wen Xinya would be easily manipulated by Ning Shuqian.

However, now that Old Mr. Wen was displeased with her, Wen Haowen would definitely be implicated and Xia Ruya’s plan was foiled.
