Appearing extremely distraught and infuriated, Xia Ruya retorted with trembling lips. “Wen Xinya, don’t you go overboard. You’ve already ruined my coming-of-age ceremony. Yet, you’re still continuing to insult me. Is there really a point?”
Wen Xinya chuckled and said with lips like a flower bud, “Miss Xia, you won’t face death if you’re not hypocritical. You only have yourself to blame for the plight that you’re in today. Don’t push the responsibility to me.”
Xia Ruya was momentarily speechless. She stared at Wen Xinya with a bright flare in her eyes that burned hot enough to destroy her.
Wen Xinya stared at her with an icy cold gaze that could put out the flames in her eyes. Hanging her head low, Xia Ruya chuckled and said, “Wen Xinya, I really feel so sad for Grandpa Wen, Grandma Wen, and Uncle Wen. They went through such painstaking means to search for you and yet, you turned out to be such a cold and unfeeling person. You... resorted to despicable means in order to get what you want. Are you even true to the Wen Family?”
She was simply trying to say: Have you ever spared a thought for the Wen Family’s face and the Wen Corporation’s interests before you chose to expose Ning Shuqian’s fake pregnancy?
Wen Xinyag glowered at her menacingly while still looking cruel and elegant. It was as if she was staring down at Xia Ruya condescendingly and forcing her commanding austerity onto her, making the latter feel oppressed. “Xia Ruya, you’re the last person who deserves to say that!”
Wen Xinya opened her mouth in a bid to retort but was rendered speechless by Wen Xinya’s menacing aura.
Wen Xinya sneered. “Grandpa has been showering you with love and concern. Yet, you colluded with the Xia Family and helped Ning Shuqian plot against the Wen Family, time and time again. Has your conscience been devoured by dogs? Ask yourself honestly, did the reporters really ask ridiculous questions? Were they not telling the truth?”
Xia Ruya took a few steps back and shook her head, appearing frail and vulnerable yet insistent. “You’re just framing me.”
Wen Xinya sneered. “Things have already come to this. What’s there to frame?”
She was merely the Wen Family’s adopted daughter in name.
Turning as pale as snow, Xia Ruya said, “Wen Xinya, don’t you pretend to be so morally upright and highly mighty in front of me. You’re just a despicable person who’d resort to all means to get what you want. Everyone’s saying that Aunt Ning is vicious, but you and I both know that you were the one who caused all of that to happen. You’re not any better... you simply got the upper hand.”
Xia Ruya then stormed off angrily.
Her lips curled into a smirk and she thought to herself, Wen Xinya... I’ll let you know tomorrow that there’s a fine line between Heaven and Hell.
“Wait a minute!” Wen Xinya exclaimed coldly while darting forward to block her way.
Xia Ruya’s heart dropped and she tried to stay composed with all her might. “Wen Xinya, what else do you want?”
Wen Xinya swirled the glass of wine in her hands gently before walking towards Xia Ruya. She gently caressed Xia Ruya’s brooch with slender and smooth like jade fingers. She remarked, “What a beautiful floral gem.”
Xia Ruya staggered backward and questioned in fear, “Wen Xinya, what are you trying to do?”
“Why are you getting so worked up? I was just trying to take a closer look at your brooch because I found it beautiful and exquisite.” It seemed like she was caressing petals.
Xia Ruya subconsciously tried to dodge, filled with panic and fear.
At the next instant, Wen Xinya tightened her grip on the brooch and tugged the floral gem off. “You may leave, but this has to stay. After all... I’ve put on an act with you for such a long time. I deserve some credit, don’t I? Take this as my reward. It’s not overboard!”
There was a pinhole, audio-enabled camera in the brooch which Xia Ruya had placed in front of her chest, in a bid to record Wen Xinya admitting that she had framed her and exposed the truth about Ning Shuqian. She wanted to show her innocent side and let everyone know that Wen Xinya was the vicious one who had viciously framed her.
She thought that she could expose the video to the media and cause it to become the headlines for tomorrow’s news. By then, the show-stopping Wen Xinya would instantly become the subject of public castigation.
Xia Ruya would then become the center of attention whom everyone would take pity on. The comparison between her vulnerability and Wen Xinya’s glory would help her gain sympathy.
What a seamless plan.
If it weren’t because of the electromagnetic detector embedded in the mobile phone that Si Yiyan had given her, she would have really fallen for Xia Ruya’s trick.
Xia Ruya’s body weakened and she felt a sudden stuffiness in her chest. It was as if she was about to asphyxiate. She closed her eyes slowly, not expecting that Wen Xinya would be that intelligent as to see through her plan.
She had become nothing but a clown to Wen Xinya, for she had greatly embarrassed herself.
Gazing at the floral gem in her hand, Wen Xinya said, “Xia Ruya, are you really confident of winning the games that you play with me? Aren’t you afraid that I’d stir trouble during your coming-of-age ceremony? You’d better not provoke me. Otherwise, I might accidentally attack you and deprive you of the chance to be my accessory.”
Xia Ruya did not understand what she meant...
Wen Xinya moved her arm and splashed her glass of champagne onto Xia Ruya’s face.
Gasping, everyone was terrified by Wen Xinya’s brazen action.
Next, the reporters began snapping away at them, the sounds of shutters clicking incessantly filling the air. Even the elegant and resplendent chandeliers could not conceal the brightness of the camera flashes.
Even Xia Ruya was greatly taken aback and her makeup was smudged, even though she had used waterproof makeup. The champagne trickled down her face bit, by bit, causing her exorbitant dress to be drenched and making her look extremely disheveled.
Staring at her, Wen Xinya said openly, “Xia Ruya, you’re only going to make a fool out of yourself if you’re thinking of getting up to funny tricks.”
Her radiant smile outshone everyone and she seemed to glow amongst the crowd, capturing the attention of the guests.
