Xu Zhenyu kept vigil by her hospital bed all night, and only returned home to rest after sending her back to the Mo Family. With nothing to do, Zhou Tianyu, concerned that Wen Xinya had suffered a fright the day before, decided to stay and watch over her.

Uncle Zhang, Mother Jiang, and Mother He all wept with joy. “The hospital food must have been terrible. We’ll cook some of your favorite food later and bring them over when we go check up on you. Why did you leave the hospital so soon? You could have stayed there to rest a little longer.”

Wen Xinya was touched. “I’m fine. It was uncomfortable being in the hospital with the constant smell of disinfectant, so I decided to be discharged earlier.”

Once Mother He discerned that she was indeed alright, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Xinya, bring Miss Zhou inside. Mother Jiang and I will prepare some snacks.”

Mother Jiang gestured heartily to Zhou Tianyu. “This is Miss Zhou’s first time here, yet look at how we left you standing at the door while fussing over the Young Mistress. Please don’t take it to heart!”

Zhou Tianyu took a liking for the enthusiastic helpers already. She smiled. “I’ve been hearing Xinya sing high praises about Mother He’s desserts and Mother Jiang’s skills in the kitchen. Today, I absolutely have to give them a taste.”

Mother He and Mother Jiang beamed with pride and promptly rushed off to the kitchen.

Wen Xinya led Zhou Tianyu into the Mo house. When Zhou Tianyu saw the ornaments scattered artfully around the living room, her eyes went wide. “As expected of a family with generations of scholars. My family has a background of scholars as well, but we are nothing compared to your Grampy’s family.”

Wen Xinya simply smiled and showed her around the rest of the Mo house. In the backyard, Zhou Tianyu circled around the Sycamore tree and sighed. “This Sycamore tree has been well taken care of. What a rare sight. Such a lovely tree with a magnificent canopy!”

As they reached Xinya’s room, Tianyu gushed over the flowers on display. “Oh my, the precious viburnum flowers! With petals like white jade, and a mild refreshing fragrance.”

The moment Wen Xinya brought Zhou Tianyu into her room, Zhou Tianyu was so blown away. She swore. “Oh damn! This is literally a boudoir fit for a princess! Look at all these items, each one costs an arm and a leg! You’re not just merely rich, you are filthy rich!”

“This used to be my mother’s room, all these objects must be from my Granny’s dowry.” Wen Xinya explained.

Zhou Tianyu exclaimed. “No wonder you are staying so happily by your Grampy’s side, unwilling to return to the Wen Family.”

Wen Xinya laughed. “The main reason why I do not want to return is that Grampy is getting old and does not have any other relatives by his side. I wish to accompany him more. On another note, the Wen Family does not think highly of me. Who would want to live under the same roof with people who hate you, and having to abide by their mood swings.”

Zhou Tianyu smirked. “The Wen family really have such bad taste. I have no idea what they see in that Xia Ruya. The more I see her, the more hateful she becomes. After she was humiliated at my birthday banquet the last time, rumors claiming that she was set up surfaced within two days. Some even said that you were the one who did it.”

Wen Xinya was shocked. “Such a thing happened?”

Recently, she was focused on the Ou Yangfeng case and paid no heed to the gossip circulating. To think that Xia Ruya was so vicious. She had clearly stayed out of her way that day, yet she still found ways to make her life difficult.
