The previous time Xia Ruya had regained consciousness, after knowing about her injuries from Ning Shuqian, she got agitated once again and fainted. Perhaps because she had mental preparation, this time, she wasn’t as badly hit. Moreover, recently, Xia Ruya had been recovering well, her condition had stabilized, and she stayed alive.
However, everything was worse than dying for Xia Ruya.
With 70% of her body burnt and 40% of her face damaged!
The thought of these, and seeing that she was all mummified from head to toe and could only lay motionless in bed, made her feel an urge to scream her lungs out hysterically.
She was disfigured. The looks that she had been the proudest of were completely destroyed.
If she wanted her looks back, she could only do plastic surgery!
However, she was Xia Ruya!
She was the elegant Xia Ruya who was perfect in the eyes of everyone, the only successor of the Li Family, a blooming, graceful white rose in the upper society of the Harbor City, and the pure, flawless, and classy Xia Ruya that everyone knew.
How could she accept plastic surgery?
If she were to accept plastic surgery, she would no longer be that perfect and proud Xia Ruya. She would have to withstand the dirty looks of everyone.
However, if she didn’t accept plastic surgery, she could only put on an ugly and ruined face damaged by flames. She knew very well the importance of a woman’s looks to her—losing her looks meant losing everything.
Regardless of how glamorous and bedazzling her future might be, disfigurement and plastic surgery would become a permanent stain in her life.
She had originally thought that being kidnapped and violently humiliated was the most frightening, shameful, disgusting, and haggard thing in her life. However, she didn’t think that the day would come for her to actually experience disfigurement and plastic surgery!
“Ruya, I know that the accident hit you too badly. If you feel miserable, just cry it out! By acting like this… I feel horrible looking at you.” Ning Shuqian looked at the Xia Ruya, who laid motionless in bed while staring blankly at the ceiling, feeling slightly depressed.
It had already been five days since Xia Ruya last regained consciousness. By laying lifelessly in bed like this, she was like a limp puppet.
Xia Ruya ignored Ning Shuqian and shifted her dazed eyes slowly towards the huge LCD screen in the ward.
On the television, Wen Xinya was helping Old Mr. Mo out of the hospital when suddenly, a massive crowd of reporters swarmed towards them, encasing Wen Xinya in the middle. She was as bedazzling as the moon surrounded by the stars. She envied her.
Ning Shuqian didn’t notice Xia Ruya’s odd emotions. She was still patiently consoling her. “Ruya, the hospital is still on lock down. I’ve already made arrangements within the hospital and no one will divulge information regarding your injury, so no one knows about it. When you’ve recovered, nobody will know about your plastic surgery.”
The car accident had caused extreme trauma to Ruya. She had realized that Ruya was having nightmares a couple of times as she screamed and cried in her sleep in an extremely hysterical voice.
Xia Ruya stared at the television with her dark grey, stationary, and hazy pupils. Just then, a special feature of Wen Xinya’s elegant and gorgeous face reflected clearly on her pupils.
She was indeed so beautiful and peerlessly classy!
“Ah ah ah—” Xia Ruya mustered up an unknown strength, suddenly grabbed a glass on the cupboard by the bed, and smashed it onto the television ruthlessly.
Her looks were totally tarnished, and Wen Xinya looked peerlessly gorgeous!
She was covered in broken skin, and Wen Xinya remained elegant!
“Clang!” Following a smashing sound, cracks appeared on the screen of the huge LCD television, making Wen Xinya’s reflected face seemed broken up.
“Ru… Ruya, stop watching the television. I’ll switch it off right now.” Ning Shuqian scurried around for the remote control. She hadn’t expected that Old Mr. Mo’s discharge from the hospital would attract such crazy attention from the reporters and even be reported live on the Capital city television channel.
“B*tch, b*tch, b*tch, b*tch…” Xia Ruya turned hysterical. Her bloodshot eyes were filled with a blood-curdling glow like those of a monster who came from hell.
She was laying in the hospital, half-dead, and bearing with the pain of being engulfed by ferocious flames.
However, Wen Xinya was enjoying endless fame and having the attention of the masses—as proud as the twinkling stars in the sky.
“Ruya, calm down. The doctor said that you can’t be too emotional and much less be agitated. I know you feel miserable, but now, the focus should be on recuperation.”
After Ning Shuqian turned off the television, she saw Xia Ruya staring ruthlessly at the already dark screen, the deep resentment in her eyes seemingly turning into a real vicious ghost stretching out her ghastly skeletal hands, radiating a frightening coldness all over.
“It’s her… it’s Wen Xinya who harmed me…” Xia Ruya screamed hysterically, her shrill as sharp as a vengeful ghost—earth-shattering, hoarse, and gloomy.
This was how Wen Xinya always took everything she cared about away from her, one by one.
Identity, status, reputation, pride…
Now, she even wanted to rob her of the looks that she prided herself on the most!
“Ruya, calm down. I know you hate Wen Xinya for landing you in this state, but you’ve gotta take care of your health!” Ning Shuqian persuaded Xia Ruya incessantly.
Xia Ruya’s emotions finally mellowed down gradually. She laid motionless on the bed as she muttered in a hoarse voice, “So ruthless. Wen Xinya, you’re so ruthless!”
She had never thought that Wen Xinya would want to kill her and even really strike. She had fought with Wen Xinya for many years and was very clear about Wen Xinya’s bottom line. Deeply etched in her was an aloofness that was totally characteristic of the Mo Family.
As Mo Yunyao was aloof and arrogant, she couldn’t even control her own husband and finally ended up as a beautiful woman with a short life.
As Old Mr. Mo was aloof and apathetic, he didn’t even seek revenge when his daughter died.
And as Wen Xinya was aloof and confident, she didn’t like to use those unorthodox methods.
She had once despised Wen Xinya’s non-negotiable aloofness.
However, she didn’t expect Wen Xinya to actually be more ruthless than anyone else.
Although she didn’t like to use those unorthodox methods, it didn’t mean that she didn’t know how to use them. At desperate times, Wen Xinya was more ruthless and terrifying than anyone else.
Only then did she know that Old Mr. Mo was indeed Wen Xinya’s only weakness.
However, at the same time, Old Mr. Mo was Wen Xinya’s scales.
The one who touched the dragon’s scales was bound to be injured!
She didn’t regret plotting against Old Mr. Mo, not at all.
She only regretted not being thorough enough, giving Wen Xinya the chance to seek violent revenge.
