Chapter 443 A bite landed on his face.
The woman crying in the garden wore a custom-made white shirt and work pants, and the tassel pendants on her earlobes shimmered silver in the setting sun.
Ning Yao had met this woman before; she was Wen Tingye's younger sister, Wen Qingjia.
The moment Ning Yao saw Wen Qingjia, Wen Tingye's image appeared in her mind.
Wen Qingjia and Wen Tingye are twins, and they are about the same age. They also have some similarities in appearance, especially in their eyebrows and eyes.
Ning Yao had always thought of Wen Qingjia as a carefree girl, and she wondered what had caused her to cry like this.
"Miss Wen, are you alright?" Ning Yao wasn't familiar with Wen Qingjia; they had only met a handful of times.
Especially after hearing that she was injured after returning, she has been recuperating almost entirely at her private residence and rarely appears in public.
Wen Qingjia heard a clear, cold female voice beside her and turned around in surprise, just in time to see Ning Yao wearing sportswear.
Ning Yao already has long arms and legs, and now that she's wearing loose sweatpants, her legs look straight, long, and slender.
The young woman sized her up with her fox-like eyes, her gaze kind but too direct, making Wen Qingjia uncomfortable.
Before Wen Qingjia could think it over, Ning Yao reached out and gently handed her a pack of tissues.
Wen Qingjia turned her face away in a disheveled manner, trying to hide her tears. She did not take Ning Yao's tissue, and instead spoke in a cold and dismissive tone.
"Do you even know how many things you've done?" With that, Wen Qingjia gritted her teeth, got up, and quickly ran away.
Her fists were clenched so tightly that she didn't even glance at Ning Yao.
Wen Qingjia wanted to visit her nephew and niece today, but when she arrived, she found out that they had gone out with their mother, and that Old Madam Wen and Old Master Wen were not at home either.
Feeling utterly bored, she sat down in the courtyard and stared blankly at the flowers and plants.
When you're alone, it's easy to overthink, especially when you're in a bad mood. After sitting for a long time, Wen Qingjia started to cry quietly.
There weren't many servants around at this time, and Wen Qingjia didn't expect to be seen by Ning Yao.
Even though Ning Yao is the biological mother of her nephews and nieces, she hasn't entered the Wen family yet, so she can't be considered one of their own.
Wen Qingjia felt increasingly embarrassed as she thought about it. She had rarely lost face like this in her entire life, especially in front of strangers.
So what if I saw her? Why did she come over to talk to me?
Wen Qingjia was extremely frustrated and locked herself in her room, refusing to go out again.
Inside the garden, Ning Yao watched Wen Qingjia run out of her sight, bewildered. She didn't know whether to chase after him or stay.
Did she say something wrong just now?
Perhaps Wen Qingjia didn't want anyone to see her crying in a corner. If she rushed over rashly, Wen Qingjia probably wouldn't think she meant well, and might even feel uncomfortable having her ugly side exposed.
Thinking about it, Ning Yao suddenly realized and raised her hand to slap her forehead hard.
Stupid!
Why didn't you think of being more tactful and roundabout?
Did the brain you use when negotiating business deals get eaten by zombies?
Ning Yao cursed herself a few times in her heart, then indifferently took back the tissue, folded it neatly, and put it back in her pocket.
Stepping out of the Wen family mansion, Ning Yao discovered that the car parked at the gate and the child had both vanished...
The young woman outside the courtyard gate stood still, her face cold as she looked around, and finally opened her lips silently.
"Where's the car? Where are you?" Ning Yao muttered to herself, her voice low, barely audible to herself.
"You've got some nerve, leaving me in the hospital."
Wen Tingye suddenly walked out, like a ghost, without making a sound.
Ning Yao was genuinely startled by him; her pupils contracted for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure.
How dare Wen Tingye be so fierce to her?
He protected that woman, and Wenna caused Wen Aixiu to be wrongly accused. Anyway, she couldn't swallow this insult.
The young woman, wearing sneakers, casually crossed her arms and adopted a cold, icy expression.
"Wen Tingye, do you know what you're doing? Wenna wronged Ai Xiu, and you're actually protecting her?"
Wen Tingye took a step forward, subtly closing in on Ning Yao, and raised an eyebrow, saying in a deep voice, "How did I protect her?"
"You arranged for someone to check the surveillance footage. It was clearly not Ai Xiu who did it. Why didn't you say so immediately?"
Ning Yao didn't have Wen Tingye's extensive network of connections, so she couldn't easily access the surveillance footage. She could only ask Ning Chen for help to hack into the trampoline park's surveillance system as soon as possible. This back-and-forth took up a lot of time.
"The video didn't capture the assault; it's only for reference. Are we going to frame another person?" Wen Tingye looked at Ning Yao, his voice deliberate and forceful.
"Who said you could falsely accuse someone else? What I meant was..."
"Never mind..." Ning Yao said, her eyes dimming, and she suddenly lost interest in continuing the conversation with Wen Tingye.
What's there to talk about?
Wen Na's existence held extraordinary significance for Wen Tingye.
The other party held a special exemption card; no matter what mistakes she made, as long as she was still Wen Na and the sister of Wen Tingye's comrade-in-arms, Wen Tingye would forgive her.
Ning Yao turned around and started to leave; she really didn't want to see Wen Tingye right now.
She knew that Wen Tingye had his reasons for doing this, and she didn't necessarily want Wen Tingye to punish Wen Na against his will. Ning Yao felt that her son was being wronged.
He is only six years old this year, and he has to face several adults making baseless accusations against him at the same time. How much damage must his little heart suffer?
Just thinking about it made Ning Yao's heart ache.
She thought that since Wen Tingye couldn't teach Wen Na a lesson, she could do it herself.
Her son cannot suffer in vain; Ning Yao's son will never be bullied!
Ning Yao hadn't taken more than a few steps when her feet were lifted into the air. The man behind her hoisted her up and suddenly landed on his broad shoulders.
"Wen Tingye, what are you doing?" Ning Yao glared at him with her fox-like eyes wide with anger, her temper flaring up.
"Don't let your emotions fester overnight. If you're feeling angry, take it out on me. Hit me, bite me, anything goes." Wen Tingye carried Ning Yao into the Wen family's old house with one arm around her waist.
"You weren't the one who caused this, so why am I getting angry at you!"
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. If I need to vent, I should go to Wenna, not you!"
Wen Tingye said in a deep voice with a forceful attitude, "I will handle Wenna, so you don't need to worry about her."
"Fine, then tell me, how are you going to educate her?" Ning Yao persisted, her voice chillingly cold.
Wen Tingye paused briefly, then said, "I accepted her black card."
"Aishu almost got sent to a juvenile detention center, and all you did was accept her black card?" Ning Yao said, her voice rising in dissatisfaction.
Before Wen Tingye could answer, the young woman on his shoulder suddenly opened her cherry-red lips, revealing a row of snow-white teeth.
"Hiss..." The man suddenly gasped, his brows furrowing slightly.
He was caught completely off guard when the woman on his shoulder bit his cheek, as if he were being sucked into a toilet plunger.
Ning Yao didn't use much force; she just bit him in a fit of pique, leaving two shallow teeth marks on Wen Tingye's right cheek.
