Xia Ruya listened to the gossip about her and ducked into a corner, feeling extrely dejected. She recalled the tis when she was still Miss Wen, during which she received various complints from everyone in the circle. They even tried to cozy up to her and get into her good books. Now that she had beco a lowly illegitimate daughter, those people had begun despising her and adding fuel to the fire.
Wen Xinya had beco a posh and elegant heiress while she had beco a shaful and distasteful illegitimate daughter!
Wen Xinya is the esteed heiress of a wealthy family while I’m just her accessory!
Wen Xinya is breathtakingly beautiful while I’m nothing but redundant!
Wen Xinya is an elite and noble beauty while I’m just a shaless bitch who doesn’t know her place!
Since when have I beco so pathetic as to live under Wen Xinya’s glory? I have beco so detestable and disgraceful even without my knowledge!
Xia Ruya watched as Wen Xinya stood amongst the crowd as a well-rounded person. Whenever she received complints, she would put on a courteous smile with a cold gaze in her eyes. The coldness of her gaze was so intense that it seed everyone near her could feel it. Yet, everyone regarded her with great respect and knew that she was multi-talented and cultured.
The reporters continuously snapped photos of Wen Xinya, clearly planning to make reports about her evolution, the headlines for tomorrow’s news.
She’s indeed extrely glorious!
Seemingly having noticed that Xia Ruya was staring at her, Wen Xinya looked up abruptly and shot Xia Ruya a condescending glance smugly, causing the latter to stagger backward, almost losing her balance and falling onto the ground.
She squinted and watched as Wen Xinya approached her, dressed in gold.
Her pupils constricted and she forced herself to keep her balance. Since when have I lost the courage to even face her?
“Xia Ruya, did you write your feelings of disgruntlent and jealousy all over your face?” Wen Xinya questioned, incredibly thrilled to rip off Xia Ruya’s angelic facade to reveal her true colors; her greed, ugliness, viciousness, and cunningness. Hence, she had never spared Xia Ruya any rcy when exposing her.
Xia Ruya clenched her fists tightly while her emotions consud her. Her throat beca dry and she beca at a loss for words.
Wen Xinya approached her slowly and stared at her with eyes like a venomous snake. “What are you feeling indignant about? What are you jealous about? What are you angry about?”
“Wen Xinya, don’t you spout any nonsense!” Xia Ruya took a step back and looked at Wen Xinya who was standing tall. All of a sudden, Xia Ruya felt like her heels were not high enough, thus causing her to be shorter than Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya smirked coldly and stared at Xia Ruya, who was trying her best to keep her smile on her face. She said, “You’re just feeling indignant because my appearance turned you into an illegitimate daughter and you’re jealous because I have the status, family and wealth that you don’t. You hate because I used to be a gangster who had led a wandering life for fifteen years and yet, I’m enjoying so much glory now.”
“Don’t you spout any nonsense. That’s just your imagination. Don’t think that everyone is as scheming as you.” Xia Ruya retorted, incredibly agitated by her words which seed to have struck a sour note within her. She stared at Wen Xinya quietly while breathing quickly. Wen Xinya’s pale face was flushed red and she looked extrely beautiful.
Xinya pursed her lips and said coldly, “If I’m spouting nonsense, why are you so agitated? If you’re upright and have a clear conscience, you won’t have to worry. You’re acting like you have a guilty conscience.”
“You...” Xia Ruya began trembling uncontrollably in anger, though she felt incredibly embarrassed. She wanted to retort but found that she was at a loss for words.
“Silence ans consent!” Wen Xinya then sneered in a llower voice. “There’s no point even if you’re feeling jealous and indignant. Just bla it on yourself for failing to reincarnate into a better family. Or perhaps, you could bla your parents for failing to give you what you want.”
Extrely agitated by Wen Xinya’s condescending tone, Xia Ruya spluttered. “Wen Xinya, there’s nothing for you to be proud of. You only have a brilliant family and a reputable grandfather. Otherwise, you’d be nothing compared to .”
She was afraid of being looked down upon by Wen Xinya.
“However, you must admit that a good family background is important too. You’re just feeling jealous. It’s sour grapes,” Wen Xinya said while staring at Xia Ruya with wide eyes as if she was shocked that the latter would say such words.
Xia Ruya stood rooted to the ground in shock, unable to move at all.
Wen Xinya stared at her calmly and said, “I’m going to undermine you using my enviable family background and my reputable grandfather.”
Xia Ruya took a few steps back and glowered at Wen Xinya. “Wen Xinya, you...” Her chest moved up and down while her heart pounded rapidly in anger. “You’re being a tyrant and a bully!”
Wen Xinya licked her dry lips and stared at her in exhilaration. “I’m being a bully? What a joke. How many tricks did you pull before my coming-of-age ceremony? If I didn’t steal the lilight, I’d be letting your efforts down.”
Xia Ruya’s eyes widened in shock and she said, “Xinya, you shouldn’t spout nonsense so casually. Have you got any evidence to prove that I plotted against you?”
Wen Xinya sneered. “Are you asking for evidence? You’re just deceiving and yourself. I’m not the police. Witnesses and evidence are not needed for everything.”
Xia Ruya was speechless.
Wen Xinya never failed to agitate Xia Ruya effortlessly and cause her to be at a loss for words.
Wen Xinya extended her fingers and rubbed them gently on her lips. “Sure, if you’d like to remain tight-lipped. I’m afraid you won’t get to co up with a convincing explanation to defend yourself!”
“What do you an?” Xia Ruya asked, feeling extrely flustered the mont she felt a numbness on her lips. She then took a step back and moved away from Wen Xinya’s hands.
Wen Xinya chuckled and said, “I ant what I said, literally.”
Next... she turned around and walked away gracefully, seemingly having outshone everyone else in the hall.
Xia Ruya was plagued with a feeling of uneasiness. What tricks is Wen Xinya getting up to?
Wen Xinya slowly turned around, seemingly having thought of sothing. She then smirked and said, “Xia Ruya, I’m waiting to see your coming-of-age ceremony!”
