The preparations for Wen Xinya’s coming-of-age ceremony were in full swing and yet, Wen Xinya was extremely free and bored. Hence, she decided to use her energy to brew some herbal soups for Si Yiyan and revise for her final year examinations. She also made some preparations for the expansion into the Traditional Chinese Medicine health supplements field.

Now that Yan Shaoqing had already begun preparing for the development of Traditional Chinese Medicine health supplements, the factory and training of staff were estimated to be ready by the end of the year. Due to their ample funds, everything had proceeded rather smoothly.

The effects of Luo Le’s herbal recipes were indeed brilliant, for Ning Shuqian’s appetite had improved significantly after consuming the herbal soups.

Hence, the Wen Family was extremely pleased with Xia Ruya.

Old Mrs. Wen said smugly, “I knew Ruya was a blessed child who would grow up to become an outstanding person. I was right about her. She became a member of the Zhishan Club even before she turned legal. None of the heiresses in our nation have been so successful.”

Old Mrs. Wen could not help but feel smug and thrilled at the thought of how successful Xia Ruya turned out to be. She had become the subject of envy amongst her mahjong mates as well as other wealthy ladies whom she could hold her head high around.

“Grandma…” Xia Ruya turned red upon hearing her words.

Ning Shuqian guffawed and said, “Exactly, that’s how outstanding our Ruya is. Even Wen Xinya could not attain that much success despite having the guidance of the mighty Old Mr. Du.”

She sounded rather derisive and was trying to mock Wen Xinya.

Xia Ruya appeared a little uneasy. Wen Xinya had joined the Zhishan Club at fifteen and even got promoted to an elite member. Hence, Xia Ruya was no match for her at all.

An icy cold look formed in Xia Ruya’s eyes.

After chatting for a while, Xia Ruya suddenly said, “Grandma Wen, Aunt Ning, I’ve been staying here for some time now, so I’m planning to go home tomorrow.”

This time, she had managed to stay in the Wen Family for a few days under the pretext of taking care of the pregnant Ning Shuqian. However, she did not have a good time at all. Ever since Wen Xinya openly questioned Luo Le during the pulse reading session, she had been plagued with an ominous feeling whenever she saw Old Mr. Wen looking at Ning Shuqian.

Although Ning Shuqian was still of use to her and she could not abandon her just yet, she could not get herself implicated either. Hence, it was best to move out of the Wen Family first and stay out of it.

Xia Ruya’s words caught Old Mrs. Wen and Ning Shuqian by surprise. Ning Shuqian said agitatedly, “You were staying so well here. Why did you suddenly decide to leave?”

Old Madam Wen held her hand and said, “Yeah, why did you suddenly decide to leave?”

Xia Ruya grabbed Old Mrs. Wen’s hand and said tenderly, “I was previously worried about Aunt Ning’s health and so I’ve been staying in the Wen Family. Now that Master Luo Le has prescribed some recipes for Aunt Ning and she seems to be regaining her health, I can finally feel less worried. Her pregnancy is becoming more stable too. Besides… it’s not appropriate for me to continue staying in the Wen Family. After all…”

She could not continue the rest of her sentence.

Old Mrs. Wen frowned slightly and said, “What’s so inappropriate about it? Everyone knows that you’re our adoptive daughter and the Wen Family has raised you for twelve years. No one is going to say anything even if you keep living with us.”

Ning Shuqian hurriedly chimed in. “Your Grandma is right. You can live in the Wen Family for as long as you’d like. There’s nothing inappropriate about this.”

Xia Ruya looked down and remained silent for a while before looking up again. She turned pale and said, “Grandma Wen, I’ll come by and visit you and Aunt Ning regularly from now on.”

However, Old Mrs. Wen insisted. “Ruya, look… ever since your Aunt Ning got pregnant, she had been in poor health and she’s been very moody and depressed. You’ve finally seen her smile after such a long while. So, you’d better not return.”
