Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1250: The Scheme Devised by the Owner of Boya Pavilion

They did not wish to talk about Xia Ruya any longer. In conclusion, she had brought it all upon herself.

Zhou Tianyu barked. “Hey, can we please focus on the main point? The main point is that Xinya has won the gala, alright? Who is Xia Ruya!?!”

The few of them were frantically congratulating her while holding up their wine glasses. “C’mon, let’s cheers to Xinya winning the title. Cheers!”

Wen Xinya hurriedly said, “Don’t overreact, guys. I’m sure you guys know the standards of the other heiresses at the gala. I can’t be compared to the other talents in the Capital city. You guys know how mediocre I am!”

Just like what Old Mr. Mo had said, the foundation was very important when it came to the four arts. Although she did rather well, she had only been learning for a little more than three years and hence, was stuck in an awkward and mediocre level.

She only managed to excel in playing the zither because of her impeccable technique and Si Yiyan’s pointers.

She clearly did not have any foundation in calligraphy and had only won the showdown thanks to Ye Feiyu.

She won the painting contest because she had applied a shortcut.

The only thing that she was really good at, was chess.

Xu Tongxuan laughed and said, “Xinya, don’t beat yourself up or measure yourself using the strict standards that Old Mr. Mo enforces on you. You’re currently one of the top talents in Capital city and there are people who are more outstanding than you, but... what’s most important is your flair.”

Gu Junling agreed. “Xuanxuan is right. We all know how outstanding you are. Here, let’s toast. Cheers!”

Ling Qingxuan grabbed her arm and said, “Trust you to have the cheek to toast with so little wine. Fill it!”

Smiling smugly, Zhou Tianyu said, “Stop putting Xinya in a spot. She’s a married woman now. She’s so submissive to her husband.”

Wen Xinya was incredibly embarrassed as they laughed uncontrollably.

They then began talking about Boya Pavilion’s attitude towards the gala.

The reason for the gala’s lack of reputation was not because the owner was not famous enough but rather, it was because she had been keeping a low profile when organizing the gala. Hence, everyone began to speculate about the owner after hearing Wen Xinya’s recount.

Gently swirling the glass of wine in her hand, Zhou Tianyu said, “The owner of Boya Pavilion is just trying to make an issue out of the fact that Xinya had excelled in all four arts, so as to draw the attention away from the scandal caused by Xia Ruya. In that case, Boya Pavilion wouldn’t be affected either. What a smart move.”

Although the owner of Boya Pavilion had handled the commotion caused by Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin in an appropriate manner, it was still considered a scandal that affected their reputation.

By advertising and promoting Wen Xinya’s talents, they would also be reflecting the success of the gala. Hence, they would be able to cover up the Xia Ruya scandal. Everyone would then think of it as a minor incident that did not cause too drastic a damage during the gala. After all, there were only less than 200 people at the gala and no one really knew what happened.

Gu Junling sneered. “I doubt it’s that simple. The owner is also using Xinya’s talent to bring more fame and glory to the gala since it’s no longer as famous and reputable as it used to be. They’re about to become obsolete soon.”

“Xinya managed to shine and perform outstandingly this time. Most importantly... Xinya is Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter and by using her status, they would be able to give the Boya Pavilion a better reputation.”

It was the most brilliant move ever. Everyone in Capital city wanted to make use of Wen Xinya’s status as Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter to do something constructive, but no one except the owner had dared to do so.

Ling Qingxuan chimed in. “The owner is definitely trying to favor Old Mr. Mo, too. Even if the owner has handled the matter well, Old Mr. Mo would definitely still be displeased. Everyone who joined the gala did it for fame, and the owner definitely loves having a good reputation too, just like those ladies.”

Although the gala had already ended and the matter had been resolved, Old Mr. Mo had yet to give his nod of approval and he would definitely do something about it.

Having already expected that to happen, Wen Xinya sighed and said, “The owner is the kind to take revenge where it’s due to. Since I’ve plotted against her during the gala, she would definitely get back at me. She’s really quick, though.”

The owner had taken revenge by paying Wen Xinya back in triple. Indeed... she was not to be belittled.

Xu Tongxuan sneered. “They all say that the owner is refined, elegant, beautiful, graceful, intelligent and quick-witted. She doesn’t seem that high.”

Although Boya Pavilion was said to have remained solitary and neutral, what the owner had done after the gala made her feel like they did not live up to their reputation.

Wen Xinya said calmly, “Everyone in this world has the intention to vie for interests. The owner isn’t really that neutral. She has been helming the Boya Pavilion and hosting the gala and using it to build her own network of connections. There were also plenty who had risen to fame because of the gala. How much does Boya Pavilion earn from these galas?”

Everyone agreed with what Wen Xinya said.

Zhou Tianyu said indignantly, “But what they’ve done has allowed Xia Ruya to escape the media’s attention. How unfair.”

They all felt displeased about the fact that Xia Ruya did not get criticized by the public for what she had done to Wen Xinya. She almost suspected that the owner was out to defend Xia Ruya.

Wen Xinya sneered and said with an icy cold gaze, “Who said it’s over? She can’t escape because I won’t let her off.”

She had already gotten Liu Yanhua to trim the video of Xia Ruya spiking the food and tea. She was planning to get her fans to attack Xia Ruya and destroy her life in Capital city.
