Chapter 1216: Manipulating Lin Yingxin

Since the exquisite and unique flora cakes were highly acclaimed, Wen Xinya naturally wanted to try it too. After all, it was a special delicacy of Boya Pavilion.

Her actions were natural and unassuming. However, she managed to catch the attention of Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin, who stared at her with looks of disdain on their faces. Wen Xinya did not discover it at all.

Lin Yingxin picked up the teacup and sipped on some tea to hide the fact that she was staring at Wen Xinya. Her teacup managed to cover her face a little and her emotions were hidden, though she had an icy cold gaze in her eyes which were raised smugly. One could imagine how devious she looked.

Compared to Lin Yingxin, Xia Ruya was much more open about staring at Wen Xinya. She only shot Wen Xinya a casual glance before looking away. She then grabbed a piece of floral cake and began munching on it gracefully, hiding her emotions beneath her icy cold eyes. She seemed to have completely stopped everyone from looking at her.

Compared to Lin Yingxin, she was much better at controlling her emotions and putting on a pretentious front.

The floral cakes served at Boya Pavilion were indeed very unique and the flavor seemed to become enhanced when combined with specially brewed tea.

After having had her snack and sipped her tea, Xia Ruya curled her lips and remarked, “The cake is smooth and melts in my mouth while the tea is fragrant and rich. The flavor is refreshing too. The floral cakes really live up to their reputation.”

Isn’t Wen Xinya great at stealing the limelight by dressing lavishly? She earned the praises of the host and managed to sit in the leading seat just because her grandfather is Old Mr. Mo.

But so what?

Soon, all of her glory will be gone.

Xia Ruya was an expert at manipulating others, but Jiang Ruoyin, Jiang Yuqian, and Xia Ruxue had all become useless to her. They were no longer pawns that she could use and hence, she had to devise a new scheme in order to go against Wen Xinya.

Yan Menglu was one of her targets. However, Yan Menglu was too arrogant and difficult to handle, thus giving her a major headache. Hence, she decided to target Lin Yingxin instead.

Although Lin Yingxin was self-righteous and did not like letting others manipulate her, she was extremely greedy and ambitious, thus making her a good candidate in Xia Ruya’s eyes. Coincidentally, she was also best at manipulating others.

Lin Yingxin said carefully, “Your suggestion is good, but it’s not foolproof. I heard that Wen Xinya is very scheming and shrewd. She’s hard to deal with too. I doubt it’d be easy for me to make use of her to climb the ladder!”

Since her family had already lost their status and reputation, Lin Yingxin had no choice but to rely on the Ye Family while she was studying in Capital city. Soon, she witnessed the tip of the iceberg of all the wealthy and prestigious families of Capital city and was instantly bedazzled by the fame, glory, reputation, high status, and riches of the upper-class society. The Heiress’ Gala gave her a chance to showcase her talent and even made her grow greedier. Ever since then, she set her mind to resort to all means, just to climb the social ladder.

Throughout all these years, she had been doing rather well. However, it was impossible for an orphan like her to advance further without the support of a powerful family.

Yet, at this juncture, Xia Ruya happened to look her up and offered her a tempting opportunity.

However, she had been in Capital city for several years and was well aware that Wen Xinya was not to be trifled with, even though she had barely interacted with her before. Hence, she was stuck in a dilemma and contemplated for a long time, unsure of whether she should offend Wen Xinya or not.
