Chapter 166 - Wen Xinya, Give Me a Hug!
Returning home, Wen Xinya threw the phoenix-styled earrings that Ning Shuqian gave her into a random corner in the cloakroom and rubbed her forehead fretfully. Ning Shuqian had dug such a huge hole for her, of which she was at the losing end. Regardless if she jumped into it, she would also have to keep her grievance to herself—how should she deal with it?
She was Wen Haowen’s daughter who had just returned to the Wen Family, without any foundation in the circle. Even though Ning Shuqian was a mistress, she also had to show some respect to Ning Shuqian on the account of Wen Haowen, managing her own reputation in the circle. After all, she had been a street gangster, it was a piece of cake for Ning Shuqian to plot for her to have the reputation of a dominating, arrogant, overbearing person who could not tolerate her stepmother and foster sister and was unfilial to her father—and people would easily believe.
Was Grandpa’s intervention needed?
It was common knowledge in the circle that Grandpa did not recognize Ning Shuqian’s identity. He was a senior, the person who held the power in the Wen Family with absolute authority—nobody would doubt Grandpa’s decision. If Grandpa came forward and declared his stand, she would have a reason not to attend Ning Shuqian’s birthday cocktail party.
After all, with Grandpa on one side, and Father on the other side—both were seniors, both were being filial—even if she didn’t attend Ning Shuqian’s birthday cocktail party, nobody would have much to say.
Halfway through, Wen Xinya threw the thought out of the window—with Ning Shuqian setting her up like this, this would let her off too easily.
Wen Xinya was deep in her thoughts when her phone rang.
