Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 58 Be willing to admit mistakes and treat others with sincerity

The assistant entered the ward and told Wen Tingye that Madam Wen had woken up and was looking for him.

Wen Tingye then instructed Hu Mingyu, "I'll come back later. Don't leave here. Take care of Ning Yao personally."

Before Hu Mingyu could say anything, Wen Tingye turned and left with his assistant, heading towards Old Madam Wen's side.

The empty ward was left with only Hu Mingyu and Ning Yao. He looked helpless and sighed softly as he glanced at the woman who was still unconscious on the bed.

He's the dean, he's incredibly busy, he doesn't have time to take care of a woman.

Besides, Ning Yao is fine now and just needs to rest, so what can he do by staying here?

When Wen Tingye arrived at Madam Wen's ward, he saw Lian Jiaorui sitting beside Madam Wen, crying with tears streaming down her face.

He frowned in displeasure. Seeing that Wen Tingye was unhappy to see her crying, Lian Jiaorui quickly shut up and silently wiped away her tears.

Without even glancing at Lian Jiaorui, Wen Tingye stepped forward and asked the elderly Madam Wen, who was half-lying on the bed, "Mom, how are you feeling? Is anything bothering you?"

"I'm fine, I was just a little dizzy, but I feel much better now."

"How could a runaway car just happen to be heading straight for me and Jiao Rui? That's terrifying!"

When Madam Wen recalled the near-car accident, she felt a pang of fear and patted her chest.

Wen Tingye remained silent. He had already arranged for someone to investigate the matter to see whether it was intentional or an accident, but there were no results yet.

Seeing that Madam Wen did not mention Ning Yao, Wen Tingye sat down in the leather chair brought by his assistant and took the initiative to ask about it.

Do you know who saved you?

When the old lady was bumped by someone, she was so dizzy that she couldn't remember who it was. So she looked at her son and waited for him to continue.

“It’s Ning Yao.” After Wen Tingye finished speaking, he glanced at Lian Jiaorui, who was sitting and crying beside him, without any emotion.

Madam Wen was surprised that the person who saved her was Ning Yao. Since Lian Jiaorui was right beside her, she couldn't say anything. She coughed lightly, her expression somewhat unnatural.

"I will give her some money as compensation."

"Money? She saved your life and is still in the intensive care unit under observation," Wen Tingye said, frowning.

"She's fine, isn't she? I'm old and I'm fine, how could she, so young, be more seriously injured than me?"

Madam Wen felt that her son had been brainwashed and bewitched by Ning Yao. Perhaps that woman was crying and acting pitiful in front of him, and he would soften his heart and feel that the Wen family owed her something.

“What if something happened? What would have happened if she hadn’t pushed you away? Have you thought about the consequences?” Wen Tingye asked.

Old Madam Wen was speechless after Wen Tingye's words, and could only lower her face and stop replying.

Wen Tingye knew that his mother had listened to slanderous words and misunderstood Ning Yao. She was not a bad person by nature, nor was she such an unreasonable person. She was just proud and unwilling to admit that she had misjudged Ning Yao.

“After Ning Yao recovers, I’ll invite her over for a simple meal to express my gratitude, and also to ask you to get to know her better, Mom.” Wen Tingye paused, then said with utmost seriousness, “Your initial intention in finding me a daughter-in-law was for Ai Xiu and Bao Ying, because Bao Ying liked Miss Lian, which is why you chose her. But now Ai Xiu and Bao Ying prefer Miss Ning. Shouldn’t we change our choice for the Wen family’s daughter-in-law?”

When Madam Wen and Lian Jiaorui heard Wen Tingye's words, they spoke up to refute him almost simultaneously.

"I will absolutely not allow Ning Yao to become my Wen family's daughter-in-law!"

"no!"

Hearing Lian Jiaorui's shrill voice saying no, Wen Tingye gave her a cold glance, his imposing aura and warning evident in his words.

He's just an outsider, how dare he interfere in his marriage?

Lian Jiaorui lost her composure in a moment of panic. She realized that she shouldn't have expressed her attitude in front of Wen Tingye. Old Madam Wen had already decided that Ning Yao was a scheming and wicked woman. There was no need for her to say anything more, and Old Madam Wen would not allow Ning Yao to be her daughter-in-law.

She, Lian Jiaorui, was the Wen family's daughter-in-law chosen by Old Madam Wen!

She's set on this position; Ning Yao can forget about taking what's rightfully hers away!

"Any woman can be a daughter-in-law of the Wen family, but not this woman of unknown origin!" Old Madam Wen's attitude was firm; she would not allow her son to get involved with a woman like Ning Yao.

“I think Jiao Rui is a good wife. She is a very qualified wife and will take good care of your two children and manage the household affairs.”

After adjusting her expression, Lian Jiaorui said to Wen Tingye in a gentle voice, "Tingye, your aunt has already said that she will express her gratitude to Miss Ning and will compensate her. If you invite Miss Ning to your home and express your gratitude in such a formal way, outsiders will misunderstand. Rumors are very dangerous. Don't be soft-hearted just because she saved your aunt and agree to her request."

Lian Jiaorui unwittingly placed a huge accusation on Ning Yao, leading Old Madam Wen to believe that Wen Tingye's request was entirely due to Ning Yao's instigation behind the scenes.

"I heard that when the car accident happened, Miss Lian was holding my mother's arm. How come it wasn't you, Miss Lian, who was admitted to the intensive care unit, but Miss Ning, who was several meters away?"

"My mother and Miss Ning have both been admitted to the hospital, but Miss Lian, you are completely unharmed, without even a scratch?"

Wen Tingye used sharp words, showing no mercy whatsoever, and stared indifferently at Lian Jiaorui as if she were a wicked woman he had never met before.

Lian Jiaorui felt flustered under Wen Tingye's gaze and awkwardly looked away, stammering, "The car came too fast, I was so scared I didn't notice..."

"I really didn't mean it. I've never encountered anything like this before. It won't happen again."

"What do you mean, 'next time'? Are you cursing me to get hit by a car again?"

Madam Wen immediately realized what was happening. She frowned and glanced at Lian Jiaorui's guilty look beside her, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

At that moment, Lian Jiaorui immediately let go of her hand and took several steps back, moving away from the tracks. Of course, the car couldn't hit her. But even so, Madam Wen still didn't have a good impression of Ning Yao, who had saved her.

Ning Yao is fine, isn't she? Maybe she's just putting on a show for her son in the ICU!

Once a woman like that enters the Wen family, she'll be scheming and plotting all day long, resorting to underhanded and shady tricks. Will the Wen family ever have a peaceful day again?

Seeing that Madam Wen was unhappy that she had only cared about protecting herself in the critical moment and didn't care about Madam Wen's life or death, Lian Jiaorui hurriedly tried to explain.

“I’ve always been timid since I was a child, and I would only run away when faced with trouble. But from now on, I will try my best to become brave and be a good wife, a good mother, and a good daughter-in-law…”

“Auntie, I didn’t mean to curse you. I just hope you can give me a chance.”

After hearing what Lian Jiaorui said, Old Madam Wen's expression improved considerably.

Lian Jiaorui had been well protected since childhood, and she had never encountered such a frightening scene as a car going out of control, so it was normal for her to let go.

Compared to the scheming Ning Yao, Old Madam Wen preferred a girl like Lian Jiaorui who dared to admit her mistakes and treated people sincerely.

Wen Tingye sneered. He had no patience to stay in the ward and watch Lian Jiaorui put on an act any longer, so he left after saying just one sentence.

"Once Miss Ning is feeling better, I will invite her to our home for dinner. You should get some rest."
