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.

It was Si Yiyan.

Inspired, Wen Xinya suddenly formed an idea in her heart. “Hey! Master Si, how do you have the free time to call me?”

Si Yiyan started to titter and teased her uncontrollably. “Why do I feel that your voice seems to be full of resentment—are you blaming me for neglecting you during this busy period?”

Wen Xinya’s small face blushed, and she couldn’t help but whine to the phone. “Whose voice is full of resentment—are your ears fine? Perhaps you should check them out at the hospital!”

Si Yiyan chuckled. “Don’t worry—my ears are very well, no need to check them at the hospital. I can hear every word you say—crystal clear.”

Wen Xinya did not comment.

Si Yiyan’s voice deepened charmingly. “Xinya, I’m at the Wen Mansion.”

If not for his extremely seductive and sexy voice singing tenderly by her ears, she almost suspected that she heard wrong. “You’re back?”

Si Yiyan replied in a deep voice, “Yup, just got back.”

Wen Xinya recalled that it had not been long since her homecoming party. “Aren’t you very busy? How come you’re suddenly back?”

Si Yiyan tittered and teased her. “However busy with work, there’s a need to make time for romance—otherwise, how to court a girlfriend?”

Wen Xinya’s cheeks warmed slightly, acted ignorant, and said sarcastically, “Oh, so Master Si’s girlfriend needs courtship—I thought that with Master Si’s talents and looks, a casual beckoning with a finger will send a bunch of women fighting to throw themselves at you.”

With a tinge of a smile, Si Yiyan’s voice got increasingly low and charming. “So if I beckon at you with my finger, would you be willing to come out and let me have a look.”
