Chapter 1184 - Who Is Mo Yunyao?
Chapter 1184: Who Is Mo Yunyao?
Xia Ruya’s tender lips formed into a beautiful smile. She was the one who convinced Yan Menglu to come to Capital city to study with her. The purpose was to use Yan Menglu to deal with Wen Xinya.
The Yan family was a famous family in Harbor City. Well… This family was not famous for its wealth status, but for its population. The Yan family’s men were very frivolous. The women at home, the secret lovers outside and the children of the family were all famous in the city.
They had many children, but there were limited assets and properties. However, everyone yearned for their lineage and assets, as well as fought for their favor to rise in ranks. It was terrifying what sort of devious methods this family used to keep their power.
Menglu, in such a family, not only lived in peace but also became a little princess recognized by both her elders and siblings.
She might seem arrogant, but she was nothing like the dimwits Jiang Ruoyin and Jiang Yuqian.
Yan Menglu asked curiously, “Who is Mo Yunyao? Is she great? Why have I never heard of this name?”
There was a hint of indifference and disdain in her voice. Afterall, Mo Yunyao was Wen Xinya’s mother. They all say, “like mother like daughter”. Come to think of it, Mo Yunyao must stink like her daughter.
It’s just… Mo Yunyao!
She pondered for a moment and noticed that the name seemed familiar.
Xia Ruya took a sip of the flower tea, and a piece of white jasmine petal stuck onto her lips. It made her look more beautiful, fresh and elegant. “Even if I talk directly about Mo Yunyao, you may not know her. But… I wonder if you have heard of the ‘Dragon Soul’ that is still in the Royal Museum of France?”
This set of “Dragon Soul” was well known by everybody at that time. Even today, when jewelry designers talked about it, they were full of admiration. In the field of jewelry design, almost everyone knew about it.
Yan Menglu’s eyebrows twitched and her eyes widened. She said incredulously, “I recall now, the designer of the Dragon Soul is Mo Yunyao. Wow, she’s actually Wen Xinya’s mother.”
Yan Menglu was shocked and her whole body trembled. She began to believe that maybe Wen Xinya really had a talent for jewelry design. After all, her mother was Mo Yunyao.
Xia Ruya smiled softly. “So, you should also know that Mo Yunyao and Ji Shihan participated in that fashion jewelry design competition together.”
This was a well-known fact.
Yan Menglu subconsciously replied, “Ji Shihan won fourth place in the fashion jewelry design competition that year. The final result of that fashion jewelry design competition had two people from China in the top five positions. It was called the pride of the country’s jewelry design industry. Teacher Ji Shihan also became famous at that time, but unfortunately, she entered Capital University to further her study and after that, stayed in the school to teach.”
Xia Ruya put the porcelain cup in her hand on the coffee table. Her soft red lips were just like beautiful rose petals.
Yan Menglu did not realize anything yet, and continued to say, “I heard that Teacher Ji Shihan and Mo Yunyao knew each other well…” Yan Menglu stopped. She suddenly looked up at Xia Rhys with mixed emotions. “So, the reason why Wen Xinya can become Teacher Ji’s student is not because of her jewelry design talents, but because her mother and Teacher Ji Shihan were close friends…”
Having said that, Yan Menglu’s face was filled with resentment. Her voice was cold, making people feel a sense of unease.
Xia Ruya held Yan Menglu, who had clenched her fists out of hatred. “Lulu, Wen Xinya and Ji Shihan are connected by such a link. No matter how good your talent is, it’s useless. Wen Xinya is just like that, she always gets everything that others want.”
Yan Menglu shook off Xia Ruya’s hand. Her face was twisted with unhappiness. “So it was like this. I did so much to please Ji Shihan, but it turns out I was just a clown in their eyes. I thought that Ji Shihan was a rare and famous teacher, but I didn’t expect her to be so worthless.”
She lost to Wen Xinya, not because of her talent, but the fact that she did not have a mother who was friends with Ji Shihan!
This shitty Ji Shihan did not deserve to be a teacher.
She understood Yan Menglu’s feelings clearly at that moment. Back when she thought, “what am I lacking compared to Wen Xinya?”, she was just being jealous just like her.
When you are jealous of someone, you are just proving that you are inferior compared to that person.
Now that she had become the heir of the Li family, she would never feel such a way towards Wen Xinya again.
Xia Ruya said softly, “Lulu, don’t be sad, your jewelry design talent is famous in the circle of Harbor City.”
Yan Menglu said a little irritably, “But Ji Shihan has not taken me seriously. I just can’t swallow this pill. If Wen Xinya defeated me and became Ji Shihan’s student by her own strength, then there is nothing to say, but why can she become a student of Ji Shihan without any effort?”
Ji Shihan had a great reputation in the field, and she thought she would be a suitable teacher for her after looking into her. However, it was not like the Yan family could not find a better teacher.
After hearing her words, Xia Ruya looked sad. “The world is like this, nothing is fair.”
Yan Menglu noticed her expression and said indignantly, “I can finally understand your sufferings now.”
She knew about the grudge between Xia Ruya and Wen Xinya, but she never cared much about it. She had seen many internal squabbles in big families and did not pay attention to the Wen Family. Only when she came across Wen Xinya did she realize how difficult she was to get along with.
Two days ago, she was so embarrassed in the classroom. She was shamed in public, and she really hated it.
The corner of Xia Ruya’s mouth lifted up into a forced smile, but coldness remained in her eyes.
