Chapter 272: 272
Soon after, Xia Ruya arrived at the hospital and was shocked to see Wen Xinya . “Xinya, why are you here?”
Her eyes opened wide in disbelief . Wen Xinya was not supposed to be here .
“The same reason as you,” said Wen Xinya, smiling .
Xia Ruya’s arrival was not a surprise to Wen Xinya . But it was a bit late; she arrived after Ning Shuqian had come out of the ER .
Xia Ruya was a little embarrassed . “How’s Aunt Ning?”
“Just received treatment . She’s fine now—in the ward . ” Wen Xinya kindly pointed out the direction of the ward for her .
“Thanks!” Xia Ruya quickly went into the ward .
Through the glass panel on the door, Wen Xinya saw Xia Ruya asking about Ning Shuqian’s injuries and comforted Wen Haowen gently .
Wen Haowen calmed down gradually .
Wen Xinya’s lips curled up into a sneer .
It took Xia Ruya quite a while to come out of the ward . She forced a smile when she saw Wen Xinya and said, “Xinya, I heard from Aunt Ning that you injured your head . Are you okay?”
“What? You wish that I’m not okay?” Wen Xinya looked sidelong at her . “Or… you’re disappointed to see that I’m okay?” Xia Ruya liked to pretend to be kind-hearted . Even if their relationship had worsened so much, Xia Ruya still played nice in front of her . Didn’t she feel tired?
Xia Ruya was stunned . Indeed, that was what she was thinking . She felt embarrassed as Wen Xinya seemed to see through her . She forced a smile and said, “You’re mistaken . How would I think that way?”
Wen Xinya stared at her and said, “If that’s true, why do you have that weird expression on your face? Or… you think my recovery is not a good thing?”
“It’s impossible for me to think that way!” Xia Ruya couldn’t stand Wen Xinya’s continuous attacks . She clenched her fists and her face distorted in anger .

“I’m not you . How would I know your thoughts? The most dangerous people are the double-faced ones . Though one speaks well, one’s heart is false . ” The best way to deal with hypocrites was to strip away their disguise .
Xia Ruya tightened her grip, her nails piercing through her flesh . The sharp pain helped to clear her mind and she took a deep breath to calm herself down . “I have nothing to say if you don’t believe me . ”
Xia Ruya’s perfect disguise seemed to be cracked . She wasn’t invincible, after all .
Xia Ruya felt uneasy being watched by Wen Xinya . So, she changed the subject of their conversation, trying to divert Wen Xinya’s attention . “Xinya, do you know why Aunt Ning was injured?”
Uncle Wen was beaten up right after Wen Xinya had injured her forehead . And now Aunt Ning had also injured her forehead . Such coincidence made her believe that all of these was related to Wen Xinya .
Wen Xinya said, “How would I know? You didn’t ask my father? He was there, he must know it very well . ”
Maybe because it was too coincidental, Xia Ruya suspected her . So she asked indirectly to frustrate Xia Ruya .

“He just said that she hit her forehead by accident . ” Xia Ruya felt awkward and rolled her eyes . She knew Wen Haowen was quick-tempered, so she didn’t dare to ask . But Wen Xinya said he was there . This reminded her of the news this morning . She realized that Wen Haowen may be the one who hurt Ning Shuqian .
“My father said it was an accident, then it is . Do you think my father would lie to you? You lived with him for all these years . Don’t you trust him?” Wen Xinya gave her a casual glance .
Xia Ruya was at a loss for words . She forced a smile and said, “How can I not trust Uncle Wen? I’m just too worried about Aunt Ning . No disrespect . ”
“Really?” Wen Xinya stared at her with a sneer . Her pupils contracted, looking sharp and scary .
Xia Ruya gasped and stepped back subconsciously, her back against the white wall . Coldness penetrated her thin clothes, giving her a shiver .
“Don’t you think Aunt Ning was injured because of me?” Wen Xinya advanced and stood in front of Xia Ruya, looking straight into her eyes .
Xia Ruya inhaled deeply and looked at Wen Xinya in surprise . “Xinya, why do you think this way? How would I associate you with Aunt Ning’s injury?” Xia Ruya said with tears in her eyes .

Wen Xinya said frankly, “Xia Ruya, don’t say this to me . Maybe others will be fooled by you, but I won’t . I know that underneath your angelic disguise there’s an ugly heart!”
Astonished, Xia Ruya stepped back and stared at Wen Xinya . Her expression was complicated, and hatred filled her eyes . She could no longer maintain her gracefulness .
Wen Xinya sneered and said, “What? Surprised? So you decided to stop pretending?”
Tears slowly welled up in Xia Ruya’s eyes, making her look even more surprised . “Wen Xinya, you can misunderstand me and be harsh with me . But how can you say that to me?”
“Am I wrong?” Wen Xinya asked sternly . She underestimated Xia Ruya . She didn’t expect a 15-year-old girl to be like this .
Tears streamed down Xia Ruya’s cheeks, leaving a trail on her pale face . It was the first time that she felt so embarrassed by crying . “Wen Xinya, that’s too much!”
She turned around and ran out of the hospital, her staggering steps making her look even more awkward .
