Chapter 1261: The Villain Plays the Victim

As soon as Wen Xinya entered the Wen Family mansion, she was greeted with a sudden sense of emptiness. The servants were all busy performing their respective chores while Old Mrs. Wen was out for her daily mahjong sessions which usually only ended at night. Ever since Wen Xinya moved out, Old Mr. Wen was the only one who was frequently alone at home. The thought of it… made her heart wrench in agony.

Old Mr. Mo and Old Mr. Wen were both lonely old men.

She suddenly felt guilty.

Old Mr. Mo was seated on the ouch with an icy cold expression on his old and wrinkly face. He looked stern and his eyes were glassed over, seemingly deep in thought.

Wen Xinya frantically walked towards him and asked softly, “Grandpa, what happened? Did something go wrong with the entertainment city project?”

Old Mr. Wen had taken charge of the Wen Corporation again and the entertainment city project was now in his hands. Apart from the entertainment city project, she could not think of another reason for his displeasure.

Old Mr. Wen snapped back to reality and glanced at her with a gentler expression. “Old Mr. Li called just now.”

The thought of it made Old Mr. Wen’s face grow petulant as an icy cold gaze formed in his eyes.

Even Wen Xinya could not help but get a great shock. “Grandpa, why did he call?”

She could guess that Old Mr. Li was definitely displeased with the fact that she had exposed Xia Ruya’s misdeeds during the gala and even splashed red wine on Xia Ruya. That was why he decided to question Old Mr. Wen. It was no wonder that he looked so upset.

Although she had openly exposed Xia Ruya for spiking the food and tea during the gala, Old Mr. Li knew of the feud between her and Xia Ruya. Besides, Xia Ruya was an expert at defending herself. Hence, he would definitely side with his own granddaughter.

In the eyes of Old Mr. Li, Wen Xinya was the one who had plotted against Xia Ruya and set her up. Even though there was concrete evidence, he would probably believe Xia Ruya because he did not see her spiking the food with his own eyes.

Besides, Old Mr. Li felt that the matter wasn’t that severe since Wen Xinya did not end up getting poisoned. He also saw Wen Xinya’s actions as an insult to Xia Ruya and the Li Family.

Anyway, Old Mr. Li was tyrannical and unreasonable. He felt that Wen Xinya was at fault regardless of what happened and that her behavior resulted from Old Mr. Li’s failure to take her in hand.

Old Mr. Wen said sternly, “What else could it be for? He obviously called to question me. He blamed me for failing to take you in hand and causing you to be haughty and arrogant. He even gave me a lecture.”

The thought of Old Mr. Li speaking to him condescendingly with a sense of superiority made Old Mr. Wen’s face grow pale. He flew into a rage after finding out about Xia Ruya spiking Wen Xinya’s food and drink. However, he did not pursue the matter because Wen Xinya did not get poisoned in the end and even managed to solve the matter herself. Besides, he also took pity on Xia Ruya.

Yet, the villain played the victim.

After hearing Old Mr. Wen’s words, Wen Xinya said agitatedly, “Grandpa, that Old Mr. Li is too unreasonable. There’s no point in getting upset because of him. We know the truth and others can see the clear picture too.”

The Li Family failed to take Xia Ruya in hand and allowed her to wreak havoc in Capital city. Yet, they’re still so self-righteous. Doesn’t he feel ashamed for having such a vicious, ungrateful and selfish granddaughter?
