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

Chapter 74 Ning Yao's Identity is Suddenly Revealed

Ning Yao cursed Wen Tingxian in her heart for being shameless, but she also knew that it was impossible to find the maid to testify. The fact that the maid could turn around and run away when she was bullied showed that she was cowardly and afraid of trouble. How could she dare to provoke the second young master of the Wen family?

When Madam Wen saw that Ning Yao remained silent and did not suggest finding a maid to testify, she was clearly guilty and in the wrong, and Madam Wen's face immediately showed displeasure.

Wen Tingxian was extremely smug. He had been taking advantage of the fact that there were no surveillance cameras in the garden to do his thing. Since Ning Yao couldn't find any witnesses to testify for her, she was bound to suffer this injustice.

Lian Jiaorui was secretly delighted, her smile almost impossible to contain.

Ning Yao even dared to provoke the second young master of the Wen family; she must be tired of living. Heaven truly has eyes. With her smile fading, Lian Jiaorui cleared her throat and said, "Miss Ning, it seems this isn't the first time you've encountered something like this. I heard that last time you got into an argument with several tall, burly men, took that kind of drug, and ended up in the hospital. It's rather disgraceful..."

Upon hearing this, Madam Wen frowned deeply and stepped forward to say something, but was stopped by Old Master Wen.

Madam Wen knew that Old Master Wen was considering Ning Yao's reputation. Ning Yao was their savior, and even though she had done this to the Wen family, they couldn't handle it too badly. They had to leave her some leeway.

Grandpa Wen then glanced at Lian Jiaorui indifferently, a look of displeasure in his eyes.

Lian Jiaorui was so engrossed in gloating that she didn't notice Old Master Wen's gaze at all.

Madam Wen was furious. Since Wen Tingxian was injured, she couldn't vent her anger on Wen Tingye, so she took it out on Ning Yao instead.

"Miss Ning, my elder brother and sister-in-law have been so good to you, even inviting you to their home for dinner, and yet you do such a thing! How can you be so shameless!"

"You can't judge a book by its cover! She looks quiet and refined, but she does such despicable things behind the scenes!"

“You should repay kindness, but one thing is one thing. You must apologize to my son, or don’t even think about leaving the Wen family home!”

Seeing that Madam Wen's hand was almost pointing at Ning Yao's nose, Wen Tingye frowned and stepped forward. His tall figure instantly blocked Ning Yao's way. He exuded a powerful aura, which made Madam Wen's heart tremble and unconsciously lower her voice.

Wen Tingye glanced at Madam Wen with indifferent eyes, then turned his gaze to his cousin and said coldly, "Tell the truth."

Ning Yao was taken aback. She stared intently at Wen Tingye, as if trying to discern something from his expression.

Why would a man who knew nothing about what happened unconditionally believe what she said?

Wen Tingxian, standing to the side, was startled by Wen Tingye's three words and shrank his neck awkwardly.

From childhood to adulthood, he was most afraid of his cousin, and he knew all too well his cold and unapproachable temper.

The fact that he was willing to protect Ning Yao shows that this woman is special to him. If he didn't tell the truth, he might lose his other hand as well.

Even if Wen Tingye wouldn't go too far in front of his elders, behind their backs, he would have a hundred ways to kill him.

Wen Tingxian started sweating. Under pressure from Wen Tingye, after much deliberation, he finally confessed.

"Yes... I attacked the maid first. Miss Ning was just passing by and meddlesome, helping the maid..."

Madam Wen's face turned pale instantly. She hadn't expected things to turn out this way. She opened her mouth, but suddenly couldn't utter a single word.

At this moment, Madam Wen was even more glad that she hadn't spoken up to express her opinion, otherwise she would have been in the same awkward situation as Madam Wen the Second.

Lian Jiaorui was so angry that she clutched her clothes so tightly they were all crumpled. She never expected Ning Yao to escape death like this.

Master Wen remained silent and never joined the argument. He had no interest in this farcical situation and preferred to stay in the hall to play chess, ignoring everything else.

His son was spoiled rotten by his wife. She never let him suffer any hardship from a young age, and she always indulged and coaxed him. Now, Wen Tingxian has become a spoiled brat from a wealthy family. Second Master Wen doesn't even want to look at him and just pretends that he never had this son.

"Tingxian, go and apologize sincerely to Miss Ning. If she forgives you, this matter will be over. If she doesn't forgive you, we'll have to handle it officially and call the police..."

Old Master Wen spoke sternly, controlling the almost frozen atmosphere. He apologized where necessary, and whether the matter could be resolved depended on Ning Yao's magnanimity.

Upon hearing this, Madam Wen immediately felt resentment towards Old Master Wen.

She really didn't expect that Old Master Wen would help outsiders bully his own nephew.

Madam Wen glared at her husband, but seeing that he was acting like a hands-off manager and had no intention of getting involved, she became even angrier.

So Wen Tingxian is her child alone?

Was there really no one in the entire Wen family who came out to say a word in his defense?

"How could you call the police? It's just a trivial matter. Miss Ning is very magnanimous and will definitely not take it to heart!"

"You silly boy, hurry up and apologize!"

Madam Wen couldn't bear to watch her son be arrested by the police, so she quickly nudged Wen Tingxian with her elbow.

Helpless and reluctant, Wen Tingxian walked up to Ning Yao, frowned, and said, "I'm sorry."

Ning Yao waved her hand. She didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Since Wen Tingxian had admitted his mistake, she would let it go.

Seeing Ning Yao looking sullen, Wen Tingye took advantage of the moment when everyone was talking and silently raised his hand to gently pat her head, just like he was petting his own cat, showing affection and protectiveness.

Ning Yao felt Wen Tingye's large hand brush against her hair, and a strange ripple stirred in her heart.

Wen Tingye's unconditional trust and favoritism genuinely made Ning Yao feel some goodwill towards him.

With the matter resolved, the whole family dispersed and returned to the main hall.

The dishes for the thank-you banquet are almost ready, and everyone is preparing to take their seats and begin their meal.

Ning Yao was the main guest at the thank-you banquet, and her seat was below Old Master Wen and Old Madam Wen, while Wen Tingye sat opposite Ning Yao.

When Lian Jiaorui sat down, she deliberately moved closer to Wen Tingye, hoping to take this opportunity to be closer to her sweetheart so that it would be easier to talk.

The moment Wen Tingye saw Lian Jiaorui sit down, he indifferently got up, pushed back his chair, and went to sit down next to Ning Yao across from him.

Everyone present saw Wen Tingye's actions; it was obvious that Wen Tingye liked Ning Yao more, which was why he took such good care of her.

Lian Jiaorui's face burned red. Wen Tingye's actions were tantamount to slapping her in the face, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into on the spot.

Lian Jiaorui even felt that the servants in the villa were secretly glancing at her, and she felt contemptuous of them.

In the future, she will probably become the laughing stock of the Wen family's servants.

When Madam Wen saw what her son was doing, she assumed he was bewitched by Ning Yao and disliked him, so she spoke up to help Lian Jiaorui out of the predicament.

"Jiaorui, come sit next to me."

"Mm." Lian Jiaorui obediently sat down next to Old Madam Wen, while glancing at Ning Yao with a showy expression.

So what if Ning Yao wins Wen Tingye's favor?

Marriages of wealthy families are never just a matter between one or two people. Even Jiao Rui believed that as long as she could gain the approval of Old Madam Wen, Wen Tingye would have to consider his mother's wishes, even if he didn't like her.

Men crave novelty. Even if Wen Tingye likes Ning Yao now, can he guarantee that he will marry Ning Yao and stay with her for life?

Lian Jiaorui comforted herself, telling herself that she needed to play the long game.
