Wen Xinya washed up and groomed herself briefly before heading to the living room.
The living room was empty and spacious, and there were several magazines and newspapers placed on the coffee table. She slowly sat down on the couch and grabbed a stack of newspapers. She then began reading them.
Just like she had expected, reports about the incidents that took place during her coming-of-age ceremony were plastered all over the newspapers and magazines.
“Miss Wen holds her coming-of-age ceremony at Shande Mansion and transforms into the noblest and prestigious heiress in the city!” There were several photos of the lavish decoration of her coming-of-age ceremony attached to the detailed reports. Wen Xinya’s immaculate dress was also featured in the reports.
“Miss Wen throws a lavish coming-of-age ceremony and Old Mr. Wen transfers Wen Corporation shares to her!” There was also a photo of Old Mr. Wen and Wen Xinya hugging each other, along with some captions about Old Mr. Wen giving her his recognition.
“Old Mr. Mo gifts Wen Xinya with exorbitant dowry on the day of her birthday!” The piece of news had already gone viral on the internet yesterday.
“Miss Wen used to be a gangster but has now attained glory and wealth!” The piece of news reported about some of Wen Xinya’s past which she had mentioned to the reporters the night before. After the reporters put them into words, her drastic change was further emphasized.
“The elite beauty Miss Wen transforms drastically!” The report was implying that Wen Xinya was just like a phoenix which used to be an unassuming sparrow. She had grown from an awkward and hideous sparrow into a ravishing phoenix.
“The Second Young Master of the Xu family becomes a military Major and surprises Miss Wen at her coming-of-age ceremony!”
Needless to say, there were also lots of reports about Ning Shuqian.
“Wife of wealthy man gets her fake pregnancy exposed during her stepdaughter’s coming-of-age ceremony. How is the Wen Family going to react?” The report described the entire process of Ning Shuqian’s fall and Old Mr. Du taking her pulse.
“Wife of wealthy man pretends to be pregnant so as to plot against her stepdaughter!” The report brazenly brought up the events that took place during the Wen Corporation annual gala, during which Ning Shuqian tried to frame Wen Xinya for causing her to fall down and almost suffer a miscarriage.
“Wife of wealthy man has a scheming ulterior motive beneath her glamorous facade!” The report made a comparison between Ning Shuqian’s gracious and elegant front and her actual vicious personality.
“Wife of wealthy man is suspected to have a mental disorder. Is this retribution?”
Wen Xinya smirked and put down the newspapers in her hand before looking up to see that Xia Ruya had walked into the living room.
Xia Ruya did not expect to run into Wen Xinya at the Wen Family home when she was back to collect her luggage. She immediately grabbed her luggage but dropped it by accident, causing there to be a loud thud that broke the silence in the living room.
Wen Xinya glanced at her coldly before looking away.
Xia Ruya bent forward to pick up her luggage before walking towards her slowly. “Wen Xinya, I’m leaving now. Are you thrilled?”
Wen Xinya raised her brows and said sternly, “You’ve already lived in the Wen Family home for so long. However, you’ve never affected me. Get over yourself.”
Xia Ruya’s smile vanished and she looked like a tuberose basking under the golden rays of the sun in the bright early morning. “Wen Xinya, why do you have to say one thing and do another? You’ve always been plotting against me. Don’t you just want me to fall out of favor and be chased out of the Wen Family home?”
Wen Xinya smirked slowly and stared at her. “Miss Xia, you’re making it sound too serious. Grandpa has said previously that you’re still the adoptive daughter of the Wen Family. He didn’t chase you out either. You’re the one who wants to leave out of your own accord… don’t blame me for it.”
Xia Ruya’s emotions began to spill out of her eyes and she stared at the distant expression on Wen Xinya’s face. She was somehow reminded of the glory and attention that Wen Xinya had enjoyed during her coming-of-age ceremony.
No one could compare to her at all!
However, no one could duplicate Wen Xinya or imitate her either.
She had an exorbitant set of dowry, five percent of the Wen Corporation shares, a set of phoenix ceremonial attire, ostentatious jewelry and hairpins…
Those cannot be duplicated!
She was indeed elite, beautiful and posh!
Wen Xinya had successfully attained everything that Xia Ruya had ever wished for. Xia Ruya’s jealousy was getting the better of her sanity.
She was extremely infuriated.
She burst into tears and glowered at Wen Xinya before guffawing sinisterly. “Wen Xinya, what’s so great about you? Why are you so proud? I’ve indeed lost to you but… you won’t necessarily trump me!”
Ever since Wen Xinya returned to the Wen Family, she knew that Wen Xinya would forever be her jinx and her arch-enemy and nemesis. She did not have another way out and had no choice but to do whatever she could to defeat Xia Ruya.
Wen Xinya stood up from the couch slowly and stared at Xia Ruya’s fading facade which had turned into a menacing look of viciousness. “Xia Ruya, you’re nothing more than a sore loser to me now. Come at me if you have the guts. I’m up for it.”
She had never felt that she had scored a victory over Xia Ruya by making Xia Ruya fall out of favor. In fact, that had happened because Xia Ruya had snatched away what originally belonged to her. However, she did not think that she could control the resentment that Xia Ruya felt towards her. At this moment, her feud with Xia Ruya would go into full swing.
Xia Ruya grimaced, though her expression quickly returned to normal. “Wen Xinya, just go ahead and bask in your triumph. You’ll find out very soon that victory is not that sweet. In fact… it’s even poisonous.”
Wen Xinya had never denied that it was indeed poisonous. “Thank you for your reminder, Miss Xia. I’ve led a wandering life for fifteen years and I’ve already been through all sorts of cruel and arduous hardship.”
Xia Ruya was still smiling, though she was also gritting her teeth at the same time, making her look bizarre. “Let’s just wait and see.”
Remaining composed and collected, Wen Xinya watched as Xia Ruya left the Wen Family home with her luggage.
