After Ning Shuqian comforted Wen Yuya, she turned to look at Wen Xinya with warmth in her eyes. “Xinya, I apologize to you on Yuya’s behalf. She is just an outspoken child. Please do not hold it against her,” she said.

Wen Xinya replied with a fake smile, “It is my fault. I have caused unnecessary worry to Aunt Ning and Sister Ruya since my return to the Wen Family. Please don’t hold it against me.”

Compared to the ill-mannered Wen Yuya, Wen Xinya displayed a kind-hearted and easy-going temperament. This was the appropriate demeanor for the true daughter of the Wen Family. Ning Shuqian felt uneasy as if she had swallowed a fly. She could see the meanness in Wen Xinya’s eyes.

It seemed like someone was praising Wen Xinya. Xia Ruya raised her head and saw Wen Xinya trying to conceal her smile, but continued to look pitiful. Xia Ruya immediately tried switching topics. “Xinya, there are quite a few new launches this month. In fact, the shop assistant just showed us a few pieces of long dresses that suit your size. They were asking about why you didn’t come with us. And what a coincidence, here you are!”

Wen Xinya glanced at Xia Ruya. She really knew when to make advances and when to retreat. “Oh! Really? I will give it a try later,” she responded.

Ning Shuqian looked at Xia Ruya with gratefulness and said, “Xinya, go on and try them out. If you like any of these dresses just ask the shop assistants to wrap them up for you.”

It seemed that Ning Shuqian was hinting that she would be footing the bill. Wen Xinya thought she would be stupid not to take advantage. She replied without hesitation, “Thank you, Aunt Ning.”

Wen Xinya turned around to make her selection.

Ning Shuqian looked at Wen Xinya’s back with bitterness in her eyes.

“Mother, why are you paying for her again?” Wen Yuya stared angrily at Wen Xinya who had her back facing them, wanting to swallow her alive.

Ning Shuqian pulled her to the resting area where no one was around and explained to her with a frown, “How many times have I told you not to clash with Wen Xinya directly? You just won’t listen. Think about it, when have you ever successfully took advantage over her? Every time it was me who had to step in to save you after suffering a humiliation. Why can’t you just remember what I say?”

Ning Shuqian did not want to have such a conversation with her daughter in a public place like this. However, she was also afraid that Wen Yuya might do further silly things later on. Thus, she had no choice.

Wen Yuya felt sorry for herself. “Mother, didn’t you told me she was just another ‘fake Missus’ who just returned to the Wen Family and I wouldn’t have to care about her. Why are you asking me to leave her alone now?”

“I didn’t expect this little bitch to be so difficult. I think there is something going on with her. Do you remember when she just returned to the Wen Family she was a rough and unrefined little girl? Her words and actions were full of vulgarity. We just had to be a little nice to her and she would treat us like her benefactors.”

Wen Yuya agreed. “Mother, you are right. I feel there’s something weird going on with her too. She used to be simple-minded and believed in whatever I said. I even managed to trick her to go to Black Sunday without any difficulty! Soon after she seemed to become a totally changed person. Now she always goes against me in everything I say, as if there is great enmity between her and us.”
