Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Old Mr. Wen’s attitude had greatly angered Wen Haowen. He flew into a rage and hollered. “Father, Mother and I have been yearning greatly for this child and we don’t even know what happened yet. Not only did you not show any concern for Shuqian, you even blamed Mother for being harsh towards Wen Xinya. Even if you dislike Shuqian, she’s carrying our family’s flesh and blood. Aren’t you being too biased?”

Old Mr. Wen glanced at Wen Haowen and said, “I’m biased? If I’m biased, I wouldn’t have allowed you and Ning Shuqian to cause such a stir at the annual gala this evening. I wouldn’t have chosen not to intervene despite the embarrassing scene that you have caused.”

Wen Haowen was momentarily speechless. At the thought of Ning Shuqian who was still in the treatment room, as well as her fetus, Wen Haowen flew into a rage and said, “You’re making yourself sound so righteous. Don’t think you can fool me. I know you didn’t intervene simply because you wanted to defend that bastard Wen Xinya.”

Old Mr. Wen sneered. “Xinya is the flesh and blood of the Wen Family. Of course I have to defend her. However, I want to protect the Wen Family’s reputation and face. Don’t you understand that?”

However, Wen Haowen could not register his words in his head at all. He retorted with reddened eyes. “Father, no matter what you say, I won’t let this matter rest! Wen Xinya has hurt my child. I’m going to make her pay the price!”

Old Mr. Wen questioned sternly, “What do you want then?”

Wen Haowen barked. “I’ve already decided to sever all ties with Wen Xinya.”

Old Mr. Wen glared daggers at Wen Haowen and walked towards him. “What did you say? Repeat yourself.”

A cold chill was sent down Wen Haowen’s spine and he insisted. “Father, I must sever ties with Wen Xinya. I can’t afford to have such a treacherous daughter like her.”

The sudden silence engulfed everyone and an austere tension filled the air. It was just like a puddle of water that was accumulating beneath the roof, which was about to break at any time.

Old Mrs. Wen stared at Wen Haowen in astonishment, for she did not expect him to make such an astounding statement. No one in the city had ever severed ties with their children before.

Old Mr. Wen glared at Wen Haowen angrily. He thought to himself, How dare he think of severing ties with his daughter and disowning her for the sake of a woman!

Meanwhile, Wen Xinya stood rooted to the ground quietly, as if she was not present at all.

Wen Haowen began to get more and more brazen and he said to Old Mr. Wen, “Father, you don’t have to say anything more. I’ve already decided to publish the notice in the newspapers tomorrow.”

Wen Xinya thought that Old Mr. Wen would snap and reprimand Wen Haowen. To her astonishment, Old Mr. Wen stayed calm and said to him, “It’s up to you. You don’t represent the Wen Family anyway. Even if you disown Xinya, she’ll still be the successor of the Wen Family.”

Wen Haowen was momentarily speechless. He had no choice but to admit that Old Mr. Wen was right. So what if he disowned Wen Xinya? She would still be the successor so long as Old Mr. Wen acknowledged her. It would at most become the talk of the town, but no substantial effect would be made on Wen Xinya.

Old Mr. Wen said calmly, “I must make myself clear about some things too. Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy is not going to change the fact that Xinya is the successor of Wen Family. If she gives birth to a boy, he’ll have to be handed over to me. You guys are not to intervene with discipling him.”

Old Mr. Wen was merely trying to take preventive measures. Ning Shuqian had caused the Wen Family to be embarrassed by using her pregnancy as an excuse. Most importantly, he felt that Ning Shuqian would fail to educate her child and take him in hand. Hence, he had to prevent her from misguiding her child and manipulating him to turn against the Wen Family.

Wen Haowen was bent on giving birth to a child to replace Wen Xinya’s status as the successor of the Wen Family. Upon hearing Old Mr. Wen’s response, he was flabbergasted and screeched. “You... How could you do that?”

Old Mr. Wen said calmly, “If you can disown Xinya, why can’t I do this? I don’t want the Wen Family to end up in a battle for assets.”

Wen Haowen snapped angrily. “Father, you’re being unfair to me and Shuqian!”

Old Mr. Wen sneered. “You and Ning Shuqian had an extramarital affair, causing Yunyao to pass away. You even married Ning Shuqian less than half a year after Yunyao’s death. Were you ever fair to Yunyao? Xinya went missing right after she was born and was stranded outside for fifteen years. After she reunited with us, did you ever treat her like your daughter? Were you ever fair to her? You mistreated Yunyao and Xinya, and yet, you never reflected on yourself. How dare you talk about being unfairly treated?”

Wen Haowen lost all his rationality and looked extremely disheveled. Although Mo Yunyao had already passed away for fifteen years, he had never dared to mention her name or even think about it. Whenever he thought of her name, he would wish that he could erase it.

Except... on the day that Old Mr. Wen passed out!

The doors of the treatment room were opened and out came a doctor clad in a white coat.

Wen Haowen dashed into the ward and asked worriedly, “Doctor, how is my wife? Is my child alright?”

The female doctor removed her mask slowly and said, “The patient is five weeks pregnant and her blood is over-nourished because she has taken too many tonics and supplements, which caused her fetus to be unstable. That’s why she showed signs of a miscarriage. Fortunately, she was sent to the hospital in time and the child is stable for now. There aren’t any major issues with the patient’s health, but it’s best to keep her here for observation for three months because of how unstable her condition is.”

Wen Haowen heaved a sigh of relief and was suddenly overwhelmed with joy. He immediately darted towards the treatment room.

Old Mrs. Wen placed her hands together agitatedly and muttered, “Thank Heavens, everything is alright now.”

Even the tension on Old Mr. Wen’s face had eased up.

Ning Shuqian was really pregnant!

Wen Xinya was in utter disbelief and could not help but find it a little too strange. However, she thought about it carefully and realized that Ning Shuqian’s pulse had indeed shown signs of pregnancy. The results were similar to those of the doctor’s.
