Old Mrs. Wen held Xia Ruya's hand and spoke to her for a long while. Although she seemed to be listening attentively on the surface, she was in fact, filled with frustration and incredibly peeved by the chattering noises around her. She could not stand it at all. Although she used to find Old Mrs. Wen to be kind and benevolent, she could not help but find her useless at this juncture. How incompetent! She cursed in her head.
If she didn't give in to Wen Xinya's provoking words and got into an argument with Old Mr. Wen, the latter would have probably agreed to take Xia Ruya in instead of turning her down.
