“Father!” Wen Xinya cried while holding back her tears. She had already experienced in her previous life the heartless treatment from the Wen Family. She thought she wouldn’t mind this time, yet she couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of humiliation, anger, and resentment.

What wrong have I done? I was not given any opportunity to prove myself before I was condemned.

Wen Haowen saw how plain and simple Wen Xinya dressed, and the charm and poise she possessed. The tears welling up in her eyes was as clear as the morning dew. The movement of her quivering eyelashes was like petals of a flower exposed in the cold wind of winter. She looked helpless and pitiful. He was reminded of his late wife, as if she was there standing outside the study room hearing every word he said. He instantly felt at a loss.

However, that feeling of loss was quickly replaced by anger. “The adults are talking, why are you eavesdropping at the door? You have no manners,” he reprimanded.

Wen Xinya closed her eyes slowly. A drop of tear fell from her eyes onto her cheek and then slid down onto her lips. She could taste the bitterness and pain…

She told herself, this would be the last time she’d shed a tear for the Wen Family.

When she finally opened her eyes, she saw brightness with some refraction from the tears, like dew from the snowflake. She bitterly said, “Yes, I have no manners indeed. That’s because of you… because the Wen Family has never raised and taught me before.”

Therefore you have no right to blame me for it!

Wen Haowen interpreted her words and expression. He became even angrier. “You ungrateful child! Is there anything wrong with me lecturing you as your Father?”

Wen Xinya replied plainly, “Father has every right to lecture me.”

Wen Haowen’s words instantly lost power in her plain and calm reply, as if punching a piece of cotton. He swung his arms backward and stomped off.

The door of the study room was opened once again. Old Madam Wen barged out in anger and saw Wen Xinya standing by the door. “All because of you, the Wen Family has not had any peace. Are you happy now?” she asked coldly.

Wen Xinya was flustered. She replied while shaking her head. “Grandma, I…”

Just when Old Madam Wen was going to continue with her lecture, they heard the voice of Old Mr. Wen from the study room. He sighed. “Xinya, come on in!”

Wen Xinya gave Old Madam Wen an apologetic look and walked into the room dropping her head. “Grandpa, you haven’t had your breakfast yet. I have brought it here for you,” she said.

Old Mr. Wen saw sorrow on her face. She was acting with caution as if she was an outsider. He knew she heard their conversation. “I have no appetite. I’m not having breakfast,” he answered.

After some consideration, Haowen’s suggestion to send Xinya abroad wasn’t a bad one, even though his original intention was selfish and ruthless, and it might actually be beneficial to both the Wen Corporation and Xinya. The education system abroad was indeed better than the local one. Letting her receive education abroad and experience a different culture might do her good. It could also be a good chance for Old Mr. Wen to see if she could grow and transform into the true Wen Family’s daughter, and hence be the Wen Corporation’s heir.

Wen Xinya lowered her head. Her eyelashes quivered and she remained silent.

Old Mr. Wen sighed. “Xinya, would you…”
