Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1210: Miss Wen, Please Kindly Guide Me Along

Wen Xinya, Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin each had their own strengths and were all known to be the most outstanding ladies of the gala. Wen Xinya was graceful and refined while Xia Ruya was poised and pretty. On the other hand, Lin Yingxin was dainty and polished. Each of them gave off a different aura.

However, there was still a hierarchy and Wen Xinya was very obviously the most outstanding one out of the three, especially since she had a mysterious and noble elegance. Xia Ruya looked pure and graceful while Lin Yingxin was delicate like a classic beauty. Only those who had impeccable taste would be able to tell that Wen Xinya trumped the other two.

Vigor was important for both male and female descendants of intellectual families. Vigor was something that had to be natural and cultivated from a young age, along with one’s character and morals. It could not be learned intentionally or emulated. Wen Xinya was one who possessed a graceful and outstanding type of vigor.

Her elegance and vigor were also the reason she could stand out from the rest and become the center of attention wherever she went.

Vigor was an aura that could be understood but not passed on. So long as one possessed vigor, he or she would be regarded highly by others, even if they used to be a criminal or a thug.

Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin did not possess any vigor.

They were inferior to Wen Xinya in terms of sartorial elegance. Wen Xinya would be heavily criticized if she were to dress herself up extravagantly just to triumph over the other two. However, her choice of classy but simple outfit was excellent. Reason being, one would have to be incredibly gorgeous, stunning, elegant and have a perfect figure in order to outshine others while dressed in a plain outfit.

Wen Xinya obviously managed to achieve that.

Her simple yet chic outfit made the two of them pale greatly in comparison to her.

Wen Xinya did not know about the stark contrast between her and them. However, Ye Feiyu had noticed all the anger and frustration in Xia Ruya’s eyes, as well as the jealousy in Lin Yingxin’s heart. However, even then, they were all putting up a harmonious front and pretentiously speaking to each other amicably.

Lin Yingxin sneered to herself while smiling faintly. She stared at Ye Feiyu with gloomy eyes and asked, “Feifei, what brings you here? Do Uncle and Auntie know that you’re here? Be careful not to let them berate you for being insensible again.”

Ye Feiyu had often refrained from getting into a conflict with Lin Yingxin, whom she knew a lot about. Ye Feiyu was actually in a disadvantageous position because her appearance would make her seem like a spoiled, willful and insensible brat. It would be advantageous for Lin Yingxin because there would then be a viable explanation for Ye Feiyu’s actions if the latter were to criticize her or badmouth her later.

Fortunately, others would believe her words, because she was reputable in Capital city.

Wen Xinya’s eyes turned dark as she found Lin Yingxin to be truly complicated.

Ye Feiyu obviously understood what she meant. She snorted with laughter and decided not to continue involving herself with her. Her past lessons had taught her that she would be placed in a disadvantageous position if she were to get embroiled in a complicated situation with the pretentious Lin Yingxin.

“Since it’s your first time here at the Heiress’ Gala, you may ask me directly if there’s anything that you’re unsure of,” Lin Yingxin said, not feeling awkward at all. Instead, she pretended to be an understanding and kind woman who was taking care of her insensible sister.

Of course, everyone witnessed everything.

Next, Lin Yingxin shifted her gaze onto Wen Xinya with a look of animosity, though she hid it rather well. “Miss Wen, I was planning to get to know you better before the gala begins, but it’s going to begin very soon. I’m afraid the heiresses are going to be disappointed.”

Lin Yingxin’s words made her sound as if she was trying to defend the heiresses and stick up for them because those ladies would usually arrive earlier to communicate and get to know each other better.

Since Wen Xinya was late, she obviously missed the interaction and icebreakers. However, Lin Yingxin seemed to be implying that Wen Xinya turned up late on purpose and did not wish to communicate with the rest.

Wen Xinya naturally knew what she was driving at. She smiled faintly and said, “I happened to be caught in a traffic jam after I left home. That’s why I was late. I, too, find it a shame that I didn’t get to interact with everyone.”

As soon as Ye Feiyu saw Lin Yingxin, she kept her guard up against her and looked out for Wen Xinya. Hence, she immediately chimed in. “The gala is going to begin very soon and we’ll have plenty of chances to interact. There’s no rush.”

She managed to give Wen Xinya an out and put everyone in a more comfortable position.

“In that case, let’s have a showdown later if we get the chance. Miss Wen, please kindly guide me along.” Lin Yingxin then glanced at Ye Feiyu with a sullen expression. When she saw Ye Feiyu just now, she felt uneasy but did not manage to think much about it because she was preoccupied with dealing with Wen Xinya.

At this moment, Ye Feiyu’s defense of Wen Xinya made Wen Xinya seem less lonely. The Ye Family was a renowned intellectual family in Capital city and Ye Feiyu was rather reputable too. With Ye Feiyu around to help Wen Xinya, everyone would give Wen Xinya some face on the account of her friendship with Ye Feiyu. Hence, there was now an obstruction in their scheme.

Wen Xinya answered composedly, “Don’t stand on ceremony with me, Senior Lin. We’re just going to be learning from each other. Actually, you should be the one giving me some guidance since you’re older than me and you’re even one of the judges for the Heiress’ Gala this year.”

Wen Xinya’s words made Lin Yingxin’s face grow petulant as she thought to herself, What does she mean by those words? Isn’t she just beating around the bush just to say that I’m old? A woman’s age is her privacy.

No matter how magnanimous Lin Yingxin may be, she could not tolerate the insult and hence, shot Wen Xinya a daunting glance.

Xia Ruya smiled and said, “Miss Wen, you shouldn’t say that. Senior Lin may be a few years older than you, but there is no end to learning. As Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter, you ought to give her some tips and guidance.”

Xia Ruya was much more scheming than Lin Yingxin. The reason she dared to brazenly plot against Wen Xinya, was solely because Wen Xinya knew nothing about the social circle of the intellectuals and scholars. Hence, she would know nothing about her competitors and end up losing the upper hand. She was certain that Wen Xinya would lose terribly, especially because of the plan she had devised.

However, Ye Feiyu’s appearance gave Wen Xinya an edge because Ye Feiyu had told her everything about the ladies from the other families. Given her family’s status in the circle, Ye Feiyu definitely knew more than others.

Ye Feiyu’s appearance made them lose the upper hand.
