Indeed, the next day, the media exposed that Wen Haowen was framed by Yang Ziyu. The papers even published photos of Yang Ziyu’s apartment that the reporters secretly shot—of the newspaper clippings of Wen Haowen and his poster in her room. A media company even dug out that Yang Ziyu was learning to cook Wei cuisine at the moment—it was no secret in the circle that Wen Haowen liked to eat Wei cuisine.
The reporters even discovered that on the night of their affair, Yang Ziyu had followed Wen Haowen to the bar.
Therefore, everyone had reason to believe that Yang Ziyu had ulterior motives towards Wen Haowen, wanting to seize the opportunity to seduce him while he was in talks with Ning Shuqian about the divorce.
And the reporters also surrounded Yang Ziyu, who didn’t have any valid rebuttal.
The news caused a stir instantaneously. The masses didn’t expect things to take such a huge turn—Wen Haowen had turned from an immoral jerk with bad character to the victim.
Although everyone understood the truth and expressed their understanding, it didn’t equate to their forgiveness. Although Wen Haowen’s circumstances were understandable, it was a fact that he had cheated. While his reputation as a jerk had paused, due to this incident, his reputation was still negative.
Wen Xinya was reading the papers when she sneered and said, “Yang Ziyu attracted trouble without accomplishing her goal. Ning Shuqian’s tactic is indeed brilliant—the reporters are so good at digging news and yet she isn’t implicated.”
The Celestial Detective Agency’s detailed investigation results were already out. As per hers and Si Yiyan’s expectations, nothing was uncovered.
Wen Xinya started to suspect the appearance of the person behind Ning Shuqian. However, what irked her was that Ning Shuqian seemed even more cautious than before—to date, she couldn’t find out anything.
Si Yiyan said mildly, “Seems like this time, Ning Shuqian is victorious. However, it’s a miserable victory—she’s already severely injured and it’s even more difficult for her to recover, unless…”
His gaze turned harsh with a cold tone.
Wen Xinya understood his meaning. Ning Shuqian had never amounted to a threat. It was their biggest accomplishment to force the person behind her out. If she wanted to regain what she lost, she would majorly ride on the person behind her and those people would surface sooner or later—they wouldn’t be able to hide as well as they did more than two years ago.
Si Yiyan stroked her long hair gently—it was soft, smooth, and great to touch. “Xinya, are you ready? In the future… your opponent is a venomous snake hiding in the deep, dark cave instead of simply Ning Shuqian alone.”
Xinya had forced the person behind Ning Shuqian out with harsh methods. After this incident, Ning Shuqian would definitely ride on the other party more. Those people were like venomous snakes who bit them when they let their guards down but would retreat to the cave after being hit.
Wen Xinya took in a deep breath and said, “I know! Regardless of who the other party is, I’ll get to the bottom of Mother’s death. I’ll also find out exactly what ulterior motives do they have against the Wen Family. I’ll not let anyone who hurt me off. Thus, I’ve already been ready since two years ago.”
Now that she was already of legal age, stabilized her footing in the Wen Family, and had her own status in the circle, she was in a better capacity. She didn’t need to hold back—she would fight back ruthlessly at whoever bullied her.
Si Yiyan kissed her gently and said, “Don’t worry. No matter what happens, I’ll be by your side.”
His plain words were filled with firm determination, warming Wen Xinya’s heart. “I know!”
Indeed, with his presence, she was full of confidence. Perhaps, two years ago, she wouldn’t accept Si Yiyan’s help outrightly, as she was indeed too weak then and was too different from him. She had urgently strived to become stronger so as to control her own fate and fight alongside the man she loved to prove her own capabilities. However, the two years of striving made her realize that possessing a strong man was also a kind of capital.
Si Yiyan looked at her pure, jade-like, and long eyes, feeling that they appeared even more gorgeous.
Wen Xinya looked up at him and said, “Si Yiyan, in the future, no matter what happens, don’t fool around with your own health. I want you to be well at all times…”
She had been kidnapped twice. The first time, Si Yiyan had rescued her with an injury, without regard for his life. The second time, Si Yiyan’s old ailment had posed a great danger to him. Recalling how she watched him laying weakly on the bed with tubes attached all over his body from the adjacent ward previously, she couldn’t help but feel her heart ache.
Si Yiyan locked his gaze on her. “I’ll take care of my own health.”
He and Wen Xinya were going to be man and wife and still had a lifetime to spend together. Her happiness and peaceful years were all pinned on him—only with a good health condition could he provide her with even more.
Only then did a smile appear on Wen Xinya’s face. “Now that I’ve already been discharged from the hospital, shall I bring you over to Grandpa Du for a check in the next couple of days?”
Now, through the doctor and Gu Yuehan, she already had a basic understanding of Si Yiyan’s condition—the more she knew, the more worried she felt. Si Yiyan’s old ailment was almost haunting her—she couldn’t accept the threat of Si Yiyan dying due to his old ailment. Previously, it was luck that made him pull through when it struck. What if one day… she really didn’t dare to imagine.
Thus, this had been bothering her. Grandpa Du was a highly skilled physician who could definitely heal Si Yiyan.
Si Yiyan knew that she meant well, so he agreed with appreciation. “Naturally, I’ll listen to you.”
This time, when his old ailment acted up, as he didn’t operate on it, the doctor suggested that he stay longer in the hospital for observation for a period of time. She had always disliked the hospital but had acted out of the norm by staying put at the hospital despite already having recuperated herself. It was all because she was worried about his health, and, afraid that he wouldn’t cooperate with the doctor’s arrangement, merely used herself to make him stay at the hospital.
Wen Xinya hugged his arm and said coquettishly, “Come that time, you must cooperate with Grandpa Du’s treatment.”
Traditional Chinese Medicine’s treatment was very cumbersome. As many people couldn’t tolerate it, they chose the simpler and faster western medicine, causing the downfall of Traditional Chinese Medicine and its magnificence. Some truly capable Traditional Chinese Medicine physicians were totally respected and almost worshipped.
Si Yiyan nodded. “Okay!”
Wen Xinya’s face melted into a smile. Watching that pair of beautiful eyes, totally rid of harshness, left only with the gentleness towards her, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of sweetness in her heart.
She had already sent Si Yiyan’s medical history to Du Ruo so that she could help to devise a nourishing prescription. Du Ruo was very interested in Si Yiyan’s condition and had already started to delve deeply into research. She had just spoken to her over the phone yesterday and she seemed to have some progress.
Regarding this, she was very happy and increasingly believed that Si Yiyan’s condition would definitely recover. She had also started to devise a plan in her heart to understand more information about Si Yiyan’s condition and symptoms so as to help him recuperate in the future.
