Wen Xinya took a breath and strolled in the courtyard behind the old house of the Wen family. There was a white viburnum tree in the courtyard, with branches spreading out and elegant and graceful. Because the climate was warm this spring, the white jade flowers were already blooming on the branches before April. They swayed gently in the breeze, just like thousands of butterflies playing with pearls.
When she was brought back to the Wen family, she fell in love with the viburnum at first sight. When her grandfather asked her which room she wanted to live in, she subconsciously asked for a room near the viburnum.
The slightly cold wind at night blew on her face, which was a little hot due to drunkenness, and it was smooth and indescribably comfortable.
She took a deep breath, and the fragrance of the viburnum was refreshing and elegant. Her impetuous heart, which was reborn, calmed down in an instant.
How long has it been since she enjoyed such a night breeze?
It seems to have been ten years!
Yes! For ten years, she was taken back to the Wen family when she was fifteen years old. At the age of twenty-five, she died of heart failure due to an overdose of drugs injected by Xia Ruya. For ten whole years, she lived under the shadow of others, lived under the conspiracy and calculation of others, gradually lost herself, abandoned herself, and became depraved!
Wen Xinya opened her arms, looked up at the night sky, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: I'm back, are you ready?
"Where did you go last night? Why did you come back so late?"
The majestic voice was mixed with complex warnings, and the stiffness was indifferent. Wen Xinya's body stiffened, and the whole person stood there woodenly, without even the courage to look back! In the previous life, this old man was the only person in the Wen family who cared about her, and he was also the one who gave up on her.
"You just returned to the Wen family, you'd better stay at home quietly and don't go out for no reason. The outside media are all focused on you, and your every word and action are under great attention. How can you still act recklessly like before?" The old man Wen's tone was full of displeasure. He knew that she had such a complicated past before, but he still insisted on taking her back, mainly because she was the blood of the Wen family, and he couldn't bear to see the only blood of the family wandering outside. However, he didn't expect that after she returned to the Wen family, she would not behave herself at all, and was so vicious that she pushed Ruya into the water.
Wen Xinya slowly wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, slowly turned around and timidly called out: "Grandpa! I know, I won't run around anymore."
Old Man Wen walked towards her and smelled the alcohol on her from a distance. He frowned slightly and said: "You go out and get drunk when you are not satisfied. How can you be so shameless? You are no longer Zhang Xiaolan who used to hang around on the streets, but Wen Xinya, the eldest daughter of our Wen family. I don't care whether you can adapt to the current life, but you must learn how to be a real daughter of a noble family."
"Grandpa, what should a real daughter of a noble family look like? Is it like Xia Ruya?" Wen Xinya looked at Grandpa with clear eyes, and her eyes flashed with humiliation and grievance that could not be seen.
She had just returned to the Wen family and had never lived with Grandpa. How could she compare with Xia Ruya? Even though she was an adopted daughter, Grandpa had raised her for twelve years. In terms of feelings, Grandpa still preferred Xia Ruya. She wanted Grandpa to recognize who was the eldest daughter of the Wen family.Old Man Wen didn't know how to answer her for a moment, and then he realized that she had been wandering outside for fifteen years, and Ruya had enjoyed everything that should belong to her instead of her, and she had not received everything that a daughter of a famous family should learn.
Seeing Old Man Wen's silence, Wen Xinya timidly lowered her head and twisted her skirt: "Grandpa, have I embarrassed the Wen family? Do you regret taking me back?" At this point, her face was full of panic: "Grandpa, I didn't push Ruya into the water on purpose, I really didn't mean to, believe me, don't send me away, Grandpa..."
Old Man Wen frowned tightly, as if he could pinch a fly to death: "When did I say I would send you away? You are the eldest daughter of the Wen family. Since I took you back, I will naturally not send you away again."
Wen Xinya mustered up the courage to look at Grandpa: "But Grandpa, I don't know anything that Xia Ruya knows, so there is no way Is it related?"
Old Man Wen's face became more and more ugly, and he said angrily: "You are you, Ruya is Ruya, you don't have to compare with her in everything. She has lived in the Wen family since she was a child, and the education she received is different from yours. You have just returned to the Wen family, and you can learn everything from scratch."
Wen Xinya's eyes were filled with tears, and she choked with grievance and said: "You have always compared me with Xia Ruya, thinking that I am vulgar and not as noble and elegant as Xia Ruya."
In this life, she will never let others compare her with Xia Ruya again. She will use all means to create more favorable conditions for herself, even if it means taking advantage of her grandfather's love for her, to make her grandfather stand on her side completely. Today has just begun.
Old Man Wen couldn't help but think of the situation when Ruya came to see them yesterday. The whole family surrounded Ruya happily, and Xinya hid in the corner alone. At that time, he saw her hiding and envious, but chose to continue to ignore her. His heart softened slightly: "You just returned to the Wen family and you are not used to it yet. I will ask a tutor and etiquette teacher to teach you in a few days."
Wen Xinya's eyes lit up, and her tender little face was full of joy: "Grandpa, can I also learn various etiquette, ballroom dancing, using knives and forks, wearing high heels, and tasting red wine?"
"Well, there are more things besides this." Old Man Wen's heart was mixed for a while. In the gap of fifteen years, she not only lost the love of her relatives, but also the education, cultivation and inner qualities that should have belonged to her. How could she catch up so quickly? He was too impatient and ignored the feelings of this child. He made demands blindly without really teaching her.
Wen Xinya's eyes suddenly burst into a firm and bright light: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will study hard and become the eldest daughter of the Wen family that you are proud of, and I will never embarrass you."
The girl's face flashed with a firm light. She was wearing a water-red long skirt. The skirt seemed a little ill-fitting, the waist was a little wide, and the hem was a little too long, which made her look even thinner and weaker. He remembered that this skirt was a gift from his daughter-in-law Ning Shuqian when she came back from France not long ago. Ruya wore it twice and never wore it again. Unexpectedly, it was worn by his real granddaughter.
After returning home for four or five days, she didn't even have a piece of clothing of her own! The Wen family ignored her so much, no wonder she would do such a thing today.
She is his real granddaughter, the real eldest daughter of the Wen family! He, as a grandfather, failed too much.
There was a gleam in Wen Wenya's eyes. She had just returned to the Wen family, and only her grandfather's attitude could determine her position in the family. She couldn't show too radical a personality, nor could she be too ambitious and strong. Either of them would easily make the Wen family compare her with Xia Ruya, which would be counterproductive. As long as she acted innocent, people would easily accept her.
