At this moment, Old Mrs. Wen rushed towards the hospital and the loud, crisp noises of her heels knocking against the ground were extremely audible.
Panic was written all over Old Mrs. Wen’s face, and she seemed to have failed to notice the anger radiated by Wen Xinya and Wen Haowen. She darted forward and asked straightaway, “Haowen, is Ning Shuqian really pregnant? How did she fall at the gala?”
Old Mrs. Wen had received a call from Xia Ruya earlier on, during which the latter informed her that Ning Shuqian was pregnant and had a great fall at the gala because of Wen Xinya. Although she was not clear about the details, she told Old Mrs. Wen that Ning Shuqian’s stomach hurt terribly and seemed to be extremely unwell.
She was consumed by panic and instantly scurried to the hospital.
Wen Haowen scowled at Wen Xinya and said to Old Mrs. Wen, “Mother, you should ask this jinx whether or not Shuqian is pregnant and how she fell.”
Old Mrs. Wen’s eyes widened and she asked Wen Haowen in disbelief, “Is Ning Shuqian really…”
After receiving a call from Xia Ruya earlier on, she was still hoping that it would be a false alarm. Although one had to pay attention to the fetus during the first trimester, she felt that fetuses were not that fragile and that Ning Shuqian probably wouldn’t suffer a miscarriage just after a fall.
When she was pregnant with Wen Haowen, she had to work fourteen hours a day as a dishwasher at a restaurant in order to make ends meet, for Old Mr. Wen’s business had failed at that time. She had to stand for several consecutive hours and her back would ache all the time. Yet, she still gave birth to Wen Haowen, safe and sound.
Staring at the closely shut doors of the gynecologist’s office, Wen Haowen said with a menacing look on his face, “Shuqian turned as pale as a sheet previously because of the excruciating pain in her stomach. Her sweat was dripping like a broken tap and she’s already been in the treatment room for more than half an hour. There hasn’t been any news yet.”
Old Mrs. Wen was instantly flabbergasted and her spirits were dampened before she could even feel happy about the existence of her grandchild whom she had been hoping dearly for.
Wen Haowen buried his face in his palms and said in a soft and hoarse voice, “Shuqian only got pregnant after the fertility treatments. I heard that the chances of a miscarriage are very high when ovulation jabs are used. Besides… if there’s a miscarriage, the mother’s life will be at risk too.”
Old Mrs. Wen suddenly felt giddy, as if her blood was being drawn away from her body. She blacked out momentarily and almost collapsed onto the ground. She hurriedly grabbed Wen Haowen’s arm and asked, “Aren’t there any other solutions? Haowen, didn’t you tell the doctor that we’d be willing to pay any amount of money so long as he can save Ning Shuqian’s child… The child is the most important… the child… I went through so much effort to get a grandchild.”
Old Mrs. Wen sounded extremely aggrieved and melancholic.
Wen Haowen felt a sudden pain in his arm because of how tightly Wen Xinya had been grabbing it earlier on. He grimaced and shrieked. “Ah… Mother! Hurry and let go, it hurts…”
Old Mrs. Wen realized that she had hurt Wen Haowen and hence, hurriedly let go of him. Staring at the grimace on his face, she asked worriedly, “What’s wrong with your arm? Are you injured? I didn’t grab you that tightly.”
Wen Haowen glared at Wen Xinya menacingly again.
Old Mrs. Wen instantly put the blame on Wen Xinya and glowered at her. “Did you hurt your father’s wrist?”
Wen Xinya hung her head low and remained silent.
Having already suffered a huge blow, Old Mrs. Wen flew into a greater rage and pushed Wen Xinya. “You unfilial bastard. How could you touch your father?”
Wen Xinya staggered backward and crashed into the wall, causing her back and spine to ache terribly. However, she continued to remain silent because it was a fact that she had hit Wen Haowen and there was nothing to argue about.
Her silence aggravated Old Mrs. Wen’s anger. She tugged at Wen Xinya’s hand and said, “Wen Xinya, you were born to become the Wen Family’s jinx. You must be here to seek revenge. Your Aunt Ning went through painstaking means to get pregnant and yet, you had to be so vicious and make her get a miscarriage. Now, you’ve even laid a hand on your father… we shouldn’t have brought you home back then.”
Old Mrs. Wen grew flustered at the thought of the possibility of her grandchild dying in a miscarriage. Her feelings of anger and resentment towards Wen Xinya exploded.
“Aunt Ning’s fall has nothing to do with me, and I didn’t know she was pregnant either,” said Wen Xinya, who would not allow anyone to continue to frame and accuse her, though she was at a loss for words for a rebuttal.
Old Mrs. Wen barked in exasperation. “Who else could it be, if not you? So many people at the gala have already seen it. Are you still trying to defend yourself?”
Old Mrs. Wen had been turning a blind eye to Wen Xinya since she had been rather obedient for the past two years and had also treated all of her ailments. Yet… it had only been two years and her true colors had already shown.
Wen Xinya said calmly, “Grandma, who told you that I was the one who made Aunt Ning fall? Was it Xia Ruya? Did she witness it with her own eyes? Why don’t we make things clear now?”
Grandma must have heard the news from Xia Ruya who definitely said something to her. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have flown into such a rage and rushed to the hospital without getting her facts right.
Old Mrs. Wen flew into a rage and began hitting Wen Xinya continuously. “What exactly did the Wen Family do to have such a cruel and vicious granddaughter like you…”
She cold feel Old Mrs. Wen’s hands scratching, pinching and hitting her continuously. Although Old Mrs. Wen was at a loss for a rebuttal, she did not have the courage to hit Wen Haowen back.
Wen Haowene stood by the side and watched Wen Xinya getting hit, wit no intention to stop the argument at all. Recalling that that was how he got hurt by Wen Xinya previously, he felt a sudden urge to take revenge.
Old Mrs. Wen refused to let go and instantly vented all her anger on Wen Xinya. “Wen Xinya, I put in so much effort and time to get a grandson. He means a lot to me. How could you…”
A sour note was struck within Old Mrs. Wen and she lost her rationality. She grabbed Wen Xinya’s hair and broke into hysterics. “Give me my grandchild back. Wen Xinya, you jinx, evil soul, bastard. Return me my grandchild…”
