Chapter 1242: Xia Ruya’s Provoking
At this juncture, everyone was no longer gloating nor were that interested in watching a good show. After all, it was already rather late and the previous galas usually ended before this timing.
Although an incredibly atrocious incident happened during the gala today and dampened everyone’s spirits, they were glad enough to have witnessed Wen Xinya’s incredible talent in the four arts. On top of that, they even got to receive a 70% membership discount card. Hence, it was not a fruitless trip for them.
Besides, the heiresses who had made an outstanding performance during the gala even received rewards and attractive prizes which were highly coveted.
Du Ruoxin was awarded an exorbitant Chinese chess set which she was not too happy about receiving, though she still forced a lopsided smile.
There were two butterflies on the flower bud, one of which had its wings fully spread open while the other had half spread wings. They moved together with the flower bud and seemed to have come to life. The two butterflies exuded an inexplicable beauty.
The bottom of the headband was embellished with red rubies and there were strings of red rubies that formed long tassels that would move gracefully together with the owner.
Every piece of the peony-themed jewelry was beautiful and exquisite. Hence, everyone was in awe of it.
Even Wen Xinya did not expect the prize to be so exquisite and expensive. It was no wonder that so many heiresses were so interested in joining the gala.
The gala came to an official end.
At this moment, Xia Ruya suddenly laughed sarcastically in a high-pitched voice and exclaimed, “Hah, the winner of the gala is enjoying so much glory, huh!?!”
Although the owner had publicly blacklisted her to stop her from entering Boya Pavilion again, Xia Ruya still did not leave, for she wanted to see just how glorious Wen Xinya was.
Only then would she know how much she truly resented Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya stopped in her tracks and slowly turned around to look at Xia Ruya coldly. “You’re still here. I thought… you’re no longer in any place to stay here.”
Xia Ruya was often braver than everyone else.
Wen Xinya’s words were so shrewd that Xia Ruya could not find a suitable response at all. Appearing extremely menacing, she asked, “Wen Xinya, are you really glad to see me in this plight?”
She knew that it would be silly to provoke Wen Xinya now, but she could not help herself because of her strong resentment towards Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya smirked and sneered. “Aren’t you just asking the obvious? You really like making things hard for yourself.”
If Wen Xinya were to say no, Xia Ruya would definitely not believe her. However, if she were to say yes, Xia Ruya would definitely be enraged.
Xia Ruya almost coughed up some blood. Her face twisted into a grimace and she remarked, “Wen Xinya, people always say that you never fail to take revenge where it’s due. I’ve finally gotten the chance to experience it for myself.”
After hearing her words, Wen Xinya slowly approached Xia Ruya and stared at her from above. She said coldly, “Xia Ruya, you’re right. I do take revenge whenever its due. I thought… you’ve long realized that since we’ve been in several conflicts before.”
It was not a compliment, but rather a critical remark. Xia Ruya was just trying to say that Wen Xinya was petty and often bore a grudge for everything.
Xia Ruya was still trying to criticize her at this point.
Feeling extremely amused, Wen Xinya thought to herself, So what if I’m seen as petty and unforgiving? It’s not going to affect me much, anyway. It’s just going to warn others that I’m not to be trifled with.
Xia Ruya smiled, appearing rather daunting because of the scratches on her face. “You’ve admitted. You actually admitted.”
Wen Xinya squatted slowly in front of her and scrutinized the scratches on her face. She gibed. “Yeah, I’ve admitted. So what?”
It had been so long, but Xia Ruya was still in denial of the truth, like she used to be in the past.
Greatly taken aback by Wen Xinya’s rhetorical question, she thought to herself, Yeah… even if Wen Xinya has admitted to it, what can I do? My cheap tricks are not going to affect her much.
Wen Xinya sneered. “Xia Ruya, I’m no longer the Wen Xinya that you used to know. I’m careful and conscientious with every move I make because I’m afraid of making a mistake. Don’t bother trying to hurt me with those cheap tricks of yours, because… it doesn’t work on me at all.”
Xia Ruya stared at the derisive smirk on Wen Xinya’s face as her heart pounded rapidly. She clenched her jaw and exclaimed, “Wen Xinya!”
Not wanting to continue arguing with her, Wen Xinya quipped. “Have fun reaping what you sowed.” She then pointed at her own face and continued with an innocent smile, “Remember to look for a doctor to treat your face. If you end up with scars, it’s going to affect your beauty!”
Xia Ruya subconsciously covered her face and suppressed the urge to scream. “I don’t need you to waste your efforts on me.”
Xia Ruya stared at Wen Xinya’s pretty face and could see the reflection of her pathetic self in Wen Xinya’s eyes. The thought of her current appearance and the conversation that she had with Wen Xinya made her feel an urge to scream.
Wen Xinya burst into laughter.
Her laughter seemed to have pierced through Xia Ruya’s heart. During the gala, she first failed to defeat Wen Xinya in painting before being attacked by Lin Yingxin, who had pounced on her and beat her up into a pulp. She even got blacklisted by Boya Pavilion. Everything that happened was an insult to her.
Most importantly, she had no idea how terribly wounded her face was and whether or not her wounds were deep. She also wanted to know if they would heal and whether there would be scarring.
Although there were plenty of cosmetic surgeries that would help with the removal of scars, she could not accept the thought of her beauty, which was her pride and joy, being marred.
