Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress - Chapter 1221

Chapter 1221: The Battle of Calligraphy

Wen Xinya made her way down the porch and returned to her seat before winking at Ye Feiyu.

2 minutes and 20 seconds!

84 moves!

Everyone was astonished.

The judge explained the game to everyone before saying, “Miss Wen and Miss Du have both showcased their impeccable chess-playing skills, especially Miss Wen, who has amazing talent in chess. Her strategies, setups, and moves are all very interesting. Please have a round with me when we have the opportunity to do so.”

The judge’s words were like a tossed stone that raised a thousand ripples. By inviting Wen Xinya to a round, the judge was showing his approval of Wen Xinya’s chess-playing skills. Does that mean that Wen Xinya is just a skilled as that judge in playing chess? she wondered.

That was utterly astonishing.

Wen Xinya rose from her seat and said humbly, “Thank you for the compliment, Teacher. It’d be my honor to receive some guidance from you.”

The owner of Boyu Pavilion laughed out loud and said in a mellow voice, “You seem to have really inherited Old Mr. Mo’s chess-playing skills. You’re different from Old Mr. Mo’s daughter.”

Wen Xinya felt a little awkward because she understood exactly what the owner meant.

Her grandmother was horrible at chess and had poor chess ethics while her mother had good chess ethics but was mediocre in terms of skill…

At this moment, Wen Xinya did not realize that she had inherited those impeccable skills.

Wen Xinya’s skills earned her plenty of praises and the other heiresses were all shocked and green with envy.

They envied Wen Xinya for her talent and were jealous of her for having an influential grandfather like Old Mr. Mo. There were even some who had begun discussing and gossiping.

After hearing her words, Du Ruoxin humphed coldly and said, “She may be Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter, but she might not really be a talented lady who’s proficient in all four arts. Wisdom and talent play a huge part too. Instead of being all bitter and jealous, you people might as well shut up and make up for your own shortcomings with hard work.”

Du Ruoxin’s words were shrewd and vicious. Of course, she was also hinting at something.

The ladies who were gossiping amongst themselves turned red with embarrassment and were all speechless. The rest then glanced at Xia Ruya.

Xia Ruya had been Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter for twelve years.

Did she lack wisdom or talent?

Xia Ruya was attacked for nothing. She turned pale at the instant that she sensed everyone staring at her with looks of disdain, disgust, and apprehension. She wished she could dig a hole and jump into it to hide herself.

She cursed Du Ruoxin in her heart and developed a strong sense of resentment towards her. At the same time, she also utterly detested Wen Xinya. If it weren’t because of Wen Xinya, she wouldn’t have had to suffer that humiliation.

Lin Yingxin was filled with an inexplicable and complicated mix of emotions. She was best at playing the zither but was poor in chess. Wen Xinya had earned plenty of praise for her skills, and if she were to fail in beating Wen Xinya at chess, it would be difficult for her to gain a better reputation.
