As Old Mr. Wen saw that the play was almost over, his eyes shined with disdain. “You have grown up in the Wen Family since young, maybe you have forgotten your true identity and treated yourself as the real Miss Wen of the Wen Family.”
After hearing these words, Wen Yuya was overwhelmingly flustered. Grandpa’s old, yet sharp and shrewd eyes landed on her body, seeing right through her soul. A sense of horror grew within her, and she tried to justify herself, but his fierce gaze caused her to swallow her words.
Old Mr. Wen’s stare was hostile. “Having this sense of belonging is not your fault, either. After all, you had been brought back to the Wen Family not long after you were born and grew up here ever since. The Wen Family has never compromised you in your basic necessities, and you receive a pretty sum of allowance every month too. All of the brands you wear are expensive luxury brands. Every single accessory you own is worth a hefty sum.”
Such straightforward and direct words caused Wen Yuya to have a very bad feeling!
Ning Shuqian could also vaguely make out that something ominous was coming and forced a smile. Her smile pulled on the wounds on the corners of her lips and her face, hurting her almost to tears. “Father, Yuya owe all of this to the Wen Family. The Wen Family has never ill-treated her or me, we both understand that deep down in our hearts. We will always be grateful for that.”
“What gratefulness. We, the Wen Family, cannot afford that.” Old Mr. Wen glared at Ning Shuqian. This woman was definitely not ordinary. She could hit herself so hard, hit her own child so hard, no wonder Wen Haowen had been fooled by her for years.
Wen Yuya’s eyes widened in shock. Hearing the mean and nasty words of the Grandpa she had respected for 15 years, her world suddenly turned dark with despair. “Grandpa… I have always treated you as my real Grandpa…”
Old Mr. Wen replied curtly, “Don’t call me Grandpa. You’re nothing but an adopted step-granddaughter. Even a dog raised by the Wen Family would be more loyal than you. In a bit, I will get Old Man to go down to the police station personally and change your surname. From now on, you will not even be the adopted daughter of the Wen Family.”
Wen Yuya’s eyes darkened and slid onto the floor like mud. She knew how important the title of Miss Wen of the Wen Family was in bringing her glory and wealth. She never knew that the Wen Family would take this all back and return her to her original state.
Ning Shuqian was also extremely shocked. She had already put on the show and disciplined Yuya, why was Old Mr. Wen unwilling to forgive Yuya and even wanted to chase her out of the Wen Family? Her legs turned weak, and she kneeled on the floor. “Father, Yuya knows that she is wrong, please just forgive her once more. I swear that she will never do such things ever again. She will live with Xinya harmoniously. Father…”
Wen Yuya crawled toward Old Mr. Wen’s feet and tugged on his pants, crying. “Grandpa, I know that I’m wrong. I will never dare to do this again, please don’t kick me out of the Wen Family, please forgive me! Grandpa…”
Old Mr. Wen looked at her indifferently. Besides hostility, his eyes were filled with disgust and contempt.
“Grandpa, I’m wrong… Why don’t you punish me! As long as you’re willing to forgive me, I will accept any punishment no matter what. Grandpa, please say something… Grandpa…” Wen Yuya cried even louder and harder, her face near his calf. The tears on her face dripped down continuously.
Old Mr. Wen coldly observed.
Wen Yuya knelt on the floor, crying till her voice turned hoarse, and continued screaming and crying. She crawled to Wen Xinya and clung on to her leg tightly, crying. “Sister, I’m sorry, this is all my fault. I will bow down to you, so please ask Grandpa not to kick me out of the Wen Family, I beg you…”
Wen Xinya stayed silent.
Wen Yuya refused to give up and tugged at Wen Xinya’s skirt relentlessly, kowtowing to her non-stop till her head was bleeding, crying out in a hoarse voice. “Sister, I will bow down to you, please don’t chase me out of the Wen Family. I have been here since I was young, this is my home, all of my relatives are here. I don’t want to leave the Wen Family…”
Looking at Wen Yuya now, Wen Xinya was reminded of herself in her past life. When she first returned to the Wen Family, she lost her body at Black Saturday due to Ning Shuqian’s schemes and was recorded on video. Grandpa was angry, Grandma scolded her harshly, Father slapped her, and she knelt down on the floor just like Wen Yuya, hugging Ning Shuqian’s leg, tugging Wen Yuya’s skirt, pleading, begging them to aid her with Grandpa and Grandma not kick to her out of the Wen Family.
She never expected that in this life, the same scene repeated itself, but the main character had changed to Wen Yuya!
During that time, Grandpa was heartbroken and disappointed, but he didn’t intend to chase her out of the Wen Family. It was Ning Shuqian who instilled the thought that she would be chased out if she did not obey into her head.
In this life, however, Grandpa really wanted to kick Wen Yuya out.
Realizing how silent she was, Wen Yuya lifted up her head to look at Wen Xinya. She faintly saw her gaze full of superiority, looking at her pathetic state, slightly mocking, taunting as if she were looking at an ant.
She felt her entire self, including her soul, being seen through by those eyes and felt awkward. The hand that was tugging on Wen Xinya’s skirt felt like it was touching burning metal. She let loose of her hold as if burned and hid her hand behind her back.
Wen Yuya suddenly raised her trembling hand and slapped herself in the face. “It was me being blinded by my greed, me not knowing my place, me being ungrateful…”
After every sentence, she proceeded to slap herself with force, the sound ringing across the living room non-stop.
Wen Yuya’s cheeks turned red and swollen in no time, and the blood from the corner of her mouth left bright drops of color on the floor.
“Yuya!” Ning Shuqian’s heart hurt till her eyes turned red. She crawled over to hug Wen Yuya but did not stop her, She only watched as Wen Yuya continued to slap herself.
Wen Xinya! One day, I will make you kneel in front of me, licking my toes. I will repay everything you have done to us.
An ominous feeling grew in Wen Xinya’s heart. Wen Yuya could treat herself so mercilessly, hitting herself so harshly. Not only did she throw away her dignity, but she also abandoned her etiquette and sense of shame. She had a sword in her heart, aiming at herself, determined to achieve her goal.
If this sword were pointed at her, she definitely wouldn’t rest until she had gotten her revenge.
“Grandpa, please forgive me!” After saying so, she slapped herself again.
