Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1653

Chapter 1661 - You'd Better Pray Grandpa Is Fine

As time passed minute by minute, Wen Xinya became increasingly worried and thought back to the time when she had just gone back to the Wen Family.

Grandpa originally insisted on having her back home, mainly because of the promise he made to Mother on her deathbed. He promised Mother that he would take good care of Wen Xinya, and this was as a result of his guilt towards Wen Xinya and her. Of course, it was also because there were not many descendants in the Wen bloodline, and if the Wen family could not produce any, it would be left to any other biological child of the Wen Family.

Afterward, she returned to the Wen Family, but she was too vulgar to fit into the upper-class society. Even her return alone made the Wen Family feel shame, and with the addition of Xia Ruya and Ning Suqian’s comments, as well as Wen Haowen and Grandma’s dislike towards her, Grandpa always treated her less than he would treat any other offspring.

Grandpa began looking at her differently when she started staying with the Mo Family.

Because her maternal grandfather sheltered her, no matter how much the Wen Family disliked her, they had to keep it under wraps.

Over time, however, as she became more refined and capable, and looked more like a high-class elegant lady, Grandpa started paying more attention to her and favor her. After so many years of interaction, the gap between the two of them had faded and they started to treat each other like a family of the same bloodline.

Although Grandpa’s affability towards her used to be armed with motives of his own self-interest, she could not deny that he had been genuinely nice to her nowadays.

Therefore, as Grandpa was now lying in the emergency room, in a critical condition of life and death, she was really, truly worried about him.

“What really happened? Why would Grandpa suddenly enter the hospital in a critical condition?”

At this time, Wen Haowen hurriedly rushed towards the entrance of the emergency room, his head of messy hair and a body of disheveled clothes, looking drab and sloppy, with a worried look on his face, as if he was truly worried about Grandpa.

Wen Xinya sharply glanced at Wen Haowen but did not reply to what he said.

She was filled with suspicion and doubt towards him.

Mother Wang shook her head and said, “I have no idea what happened. I found him unconscious and sent him to the hospital immediately.”

Mother Wang’s emotions and feelings have already stabilized, and she replied to Wen Haowen’s question calmly and methodically and was able to enunciate her words properly, unlike her flurried and panicked self earlier on.

Wen Haowen then secretly heaved a sigh of relief, before worriedly asking again, “Then how is his condition? What did the doctor say?”

Right now, Wen Haowen’s mind was in a flurry, and his thoughts were all jumbled up.

Earlier on, he did not do anything to help the old man when he saw him, but the moment he went back to his room, he felt disturbed and struggled with guilt, unease, and fear, causing him to feel extremely perturbed.

However, he never thought that Mother Wang would find him so fast after he was unconscious, and even sent him to the hospital fast enough for treatment by A&E.

If the old man recovered successfully, given his personality, he would never let him go easily.

Right now, he was no longer struggling within with guilt, all he could think of now was for the old man’s resuscitation to fail and for him to pass on. Only then could he safeguard what he had as of now.

Mother Wang shook her head with a face full of worry. “He’s still in the midst of the operation, his condition is currently unknown.”

Wen Xinya remained silent, saying nothing at all.

She refused to believe that Grandpa’s current critical condition was unrelated to Wen Haowen.

Right now, looking at Wen Haowen pretending like he cared made her feel disgusted, and she felt sad and sorry for Grandpa.

At this very moment, Wen Haowen acted as if he had just realized that Wen Xinya was sitting beside Mother Wang, his face darkened and he said, “Wen Xinya, tell me honestly, is Grandpa’s sudden critical condition related to you?”

Grandpa’s condition was unclear, which proved that he was in a dangerous condition. As Wen Haowen calmed down for a while, all he could think of was to absolve himself of any guilt related to this whole incident.

Wen Xinya stood up slowly from the bench, her slender frame standing tall and straight, looking elegant. “Dad, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. Rather, I would like to ask, where were you when this happened to Grandpa?”

Wen Family’s bungalow was an old and traditional building and placed a lot of emphasis on privacy. There weren’t many monitoring devices, but there were a couple of CCTV at the entrances and exits of each room.

Whether or not Wen Haowen went home before Grandpa fainted could be easily checked from the records of the CCTV, and given that there were so many helpers at the Wen Family, it was impossible that no one noticed Wen Haowen arriving back home.

Wen Haowen panicked slightly but immediately reacted by glaring at her coldly. “What do you mean? You suspect that Father’s fainting is related to me?”

In Wen Haowen’s head, he had already scolded Wen Xinya badly, many times over.

He never expected that Wen Xinya would be so astute and alert, even daringly questioning him. Looked like the fact that he did go back to the Wen Family home earlier on could no longer be covered up.

Yet, so what if she knew?

When Grandpa fainted, he was not at the scene, and as long as he refused to admit any fault, how could Wen Xinya ever push the blame of the old man’s critical condition to him?

Wen Xinya coldly replied, “No, it’s only that you are already so old, yet you still appear on the tabloids periodically and cause me to feel so much shame and embarrassment. Furthermore, Grandpa is already so old, as his son, you should cultivate yourself to become a filial son and avoid ruining Grandpa’s reputation and be backstabbed by other people.”

What Wen Xinya said was entirely rude, and she did not hold back at all.

She was implying that Grandpa was agitated and could no longer stand the blow of Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian’s family scandal, which was what caused him to go into a critical condition.

Wen Haowen was utterly shocked by the things that she said, and he was boiling mad. Angry, he said, “You evil pest, who do you think you are? Who are you to care about my personal affairs? I had better warn you, you should know your place better. If something really happens to Grandpa, I will never let you off.”

This was clearly a flagrant threat.

Wen Haowen had thought it through. If the old man’s resuscitation was unsuccessful, he would push all blame onto Wen Xinya, then cut his ties with her, before chasing her out of the Wen Family.

“That’s just nice, you stole my lines! God’s watching whatever you are doing, and there’s nowhere on Earth where you can hide what you are doing. You had better pray that Grandpa is fine, or even the emperor himself can’t save you.”

Wen Xinya dished out such cold and vicious words while looking extremely stern. Her gaze was locked tight on Wen Haowen, so sharp that it was as if it could pierce right through his soul.

“You…” Wen Haowen was flustered and exasperated and wanted to slap her badly. Yet, he knew that things were different now, and he did not actually lift up his palm to slap her face.

Except, under Wen Xinya’s strange and cold gaze, his breathing turned irregular. He did not know why, but he started to feel uneasy and fearful.
