At night, to celebrate Wen Xinya’s discharge from the hospital, Zhou Tianyu, Xu Tongxuan, and the rest reserved seats at the Bai’s private restaurant.
Mother Bai personally prepared a walnut pig’s brain soup for her which was effective for calming and brain nourishment. Her way of preparation made the walnuts fragrant, the pig’s brain melted in her mouth, the soup was of the right consistency, and tasted superb. Wen Xinya loved it and was very grateful to Mother Bai.
Seeing that Wen Xinya looked all radiant, Zhou Tianyu couldn’t help but tease her. “Wow wow wow wow, you finally bear to leave the hospital! I thought you’d keep staying in the hospital until you conquered the finest Prince Charming in the adjacent room.”
Regarding the finest Prince Charming who was admirable but not to be blasphemed against, she was merely joking about it. She didn’t really think that Xinya had anything for him, and all the more wouldn’t think that there was something between him and Xinya.
Xu Tongxuan pouted and said, “I went to the hospital to visit an elder today and only know after asking around that the finest Prince Charming in Xinya’s adjacent room has already been discharged from the hospital the day before, so…”
She turned and looked at Wen Xinya with eyes filled with mischief.
Wen Xinya looked calmly at Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan’s duet. Previously, she had stayed on in the hospital mainly because Si Yiyan’s presiding doctor said that although his condition was stable, it was better for him to stay at the hospital for observation for a period of time. Now that his work was piling up and it wasn’t convenient for him to stay in the hospital, she naturally had to be discharged as well.
Ling Qingxuan saw the exchanges between the girls and couldn’t help but gasp. “Hey! What do you girls mean? There’s really someone that Wen Xinya likes?”
Xu Zhenyu’s interest in Wen Xinya was known by everyone. Of course, he selfishly hoped that the two of them could end up together. However, if Wen Xinya had a better choice, he would also wish them well. After all… love couldn’t be forced.
Gu Junling looked towards Wen Xinya and giggled. “You’ll have to ask Wen Xinya that.”
The few of their gazes looked towards Wen Xinya in succession as she pouted and said, “Hey, will it kill you guys to not gossip! After all, I’ve been discharged from the hospital, which is a good thing, right? Aren’t we celebrating for me? Why don’t I see you guys asking about my health!”
Zhou Tianyu sized Wen Xinya up from head to toe. “Do we even need to ask? Look how radiant you are—so perfectly recuperated. There’s definitely nothing wrong with your health.”
Xu Tongxuan added, “Oh? Why don’t I know that the fengshui of the hospital is so good? You’ve been hospitalized for less than half a month and are looking all radiant with moisturized skin—a good color like that of a blooming peach blossom.”
Wen Xinya felt a little shy—radiant probably meant that she put on weight, and the moisturized skin was actually credited to Si Yiyan! As for looking like a blooming peach blossom… alright! Wasn’t a girl in love exactly like a blooming peach blossom…
Even Ling Qingxuan and Gu Junling couldn’t help but size Wen Xinya up after hearing this. They agreed fully with what Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan said. “Your recuperation is indeed perfect. Now, you seem to be three tones brighter than previously.”
Wen Xinya was extremely awkward as she hurriedly changed the topic. “Stop talking about me. Oh yes… what’s Xu Zhenyu busy with recently—since he helped me settle some media reports regarding my kidnapping previously, he seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth.”
Recently, she had been too busy recuperating, handling the matters regarding the Xia Family, and Wen Haowen’s infidelity to take note of Xu Zhenyu’s matters.
Gu Junling said, “He’s probably on a mission! As you know, he’s a Special Ops army officer—many missions are absolutely confidential.”
Wen Xinya guessed as much. She only felt slightly weird that after Xu Zhenyu returned to the capital city, he had taken up the urgent mission of the western district military to be responsible for cracking the terrorism case. Now that the case had already been completed fully, as he didn’t belong to the military of the capital city, he couldn’t partake in the missions of the capital city. So why was he suddenly on a mission again?
Could it be linked to the terrorism case previously?
Ling Qingxuan said, “Don’t bother about Xu-er anymore. What’s the matter about your father’s extramarital affair being exposed suddenly and got caught red-handed by the reporters? I’ve asked some of the reporters that I’m closer to and heard that your father was framed by that woman? Is this matter related to Ning Shuqian?”
Wen Haowen always had to make a big fuss out of the things he did. His divorce had long been spread throughout the circle. As his infidelity was too coincidental, some people thought that it had to be related to Ning Shuqian. However, it was a fact that Ning Shuqian’s condition had worsened after being agitated over Wen Haowen’s infidelity. More people felt that Ning Shuqian wouldn’t be so stupid—after all, with such a thing happening to Wen Haowen at this time, the first to be suspected was her.
More importantly… with Wen Xinya’s mother, Mo Yunyao’s death being mentioned time and again, as Wen Haowen had a history, the majority of the people would rather believe that Ning Shuqian was innocent than Wen Haowen was being framed.
Now, Ning Shuqian was completely playing the role of the victim.
“Wen Haowen was definitely schemed against by Yang Ziyu. However, it’s uncertain if this is related to Ning Shuqian. After all, regardless of how this matter turns out, she’s the one who stands to benefit the most from the start to the end.” Wen Xinya suddenly had an idea. She didn’t expect Grandpa to actually move so quickly—he had just discussed the strategy with her in the morning and there was already an outcome at night. She could imagine that the headlines of the papers and magazines tomorrow would definitely be news of Yang Ziyu’s scheming against Wen Haowen.
Wen Xinya’s words didn’t clarify things, but everyone present was sharp and naturally understood. Wen Haowen’s infidelity was all the rage, the Wen Family had lost both their face and reputation, and the Wen Corporation’s shares had already continued to plummet to 500 points today. If this continued, it would definitely fall to a level that made history.
At this point, the Wen Family could only make a good escape out of Yang Ziyu. Only by making Yang Ziyu’s scheming against Wen Haowen a reality and making Wen Haowen the victim could they regain their reputation and face.
As for Ning Shuqian, at such a stage, Wen Haowen would definitely be unable to divorce her.
Zhou Tianyu sneered and said, “Ning Shuqian is really capable, seizing on the entire Wen Family’s face and reputation. She’s really a cockroach that can’t be killed—filthy and smelly, totally disgusting.”
Xu Tongxuan said, “No wonder everyone says birds of a feather flock together—it’s indeed right. She and Xia Ruya are totally the same type of people—Xia Ruya could even damage her own reputation, and she could even send her own husband to another woman’s bed—no wonder the two of them would mix together.”
Wen Xinya agreed.
Gu Junling frowned and said, “Xinya, you better don’t meddle in this matter. After all, you’re the younger generation—if you were to mishandle it, it’ll look bad on you.”
Wen Xinya said, “Got it. My Grandpa says the same.”
Ling Qingxuan said, “I’m on good terms with quite a number of reporters. Later I’ll talk to them and ask them to help clear Wen Haowen’s name.”
He couldn’t care less about helping Wen Haowen. However, Wen Haowen’s matter implicated the Wen Family, which was disadvantageous to Wen Xinya, the successor of the Wen Family.
Naturally, Wen Xinya was extremely appreciative.
