Seeing Ning Shuqian grinding her teeth and gulping in agony, Wen Xinya finally realized that Ning Shuqian had her eyes set on her mother’s old belonging. However, her mistake had by some chance reduced Ning Shuqian’s hope to dust. Upon realizing this, her heart was filled with elation.

The disappointment of failing to get what you want must be hard to bear.

Although it looked so innocent and pure, there was a deeper meaning behind Wen Xinya’s smile. The second reason why she made use of her mother’s reputation and donated the Star of the Sea was to announce to everybody that her mother was the original Madam Wen. This would remind them that Ning Shuqian was nothing but a mistress, and was just monkeying around when she stirred up trouble in the circle previously to defame her. At the same time, this would raise her profile in the circle!

Old Mr. Wen took a glance at her before he said flatly to Wen Haowen, “That’s enough. Xinya did suggest to me to donate the Star of the Sea, but I was still the one who made the final decision. It was not her fault, so stop blaming Xinya.”

Thinking about the promise he had made to Ning Shuqian, Wen Haowen was adamant to protect his pride. “Even if that’s the case, you should’ve discussed with me before making the decision. On top of that, there was no need to donate anything under Xinya’s name.”

Old Mr. Wen snickered coldly. “I think you have your head in the clouds. Xinya is the one who has just returned to the Wen Family. If not Xinya, whose name should we donate under in the name of Yunyao? This old man here?”

Wen Haowen’s face stiffened. He took a glance at Ning Shuqian, before continuing, “How do you think you made Shuqian feel at this event with all that you’ve done? She has married into the Wen Family for fifteen years, how can she bear this?”

The old man wanted to raise Wen Xinya’s profile, and he did so by using Yunyao’s reputation as the original Madam Wen to declare Wen Xinya as the true successor of the family.

“Haowen, I’m fine. Don’t argue with father at a place like this, everybody’s watching.” Ning Shuqian said pleadingly with tears in her eyes.

Everything left behind by Yunyao was invaluable. She had wanted them for a long time, but Old Mr. Wen guarded them tightly. After Xia Ruya grew up, the things slowly landed in her hands, and it would not look good for her to ask for them. Later on, Xia Ruya became the illegitimate child of the Xia Family and Old Mr. Wen demanded the items back before sending them to Wen Xinya’s room. The Star of the Sea was an exception, which Old Mr. Wen kept with him. As such, she developed the thought to own it for herself.

With such a commotion, a few people were unhappy and left. Grandpa gathered together with a few of his old friends and began chatting. Wen Xinya looked at Xia Ruya who was standing at the exhibition area staring intently at the Star of the Sea, which was encased within a bulletproof glass. Her eyes lit up as an idea popped into her head.

Xia Ruya, you took everything from me in her previous life.

Now, in this life, I would much rather donate everything I have to charity than to let a b*tch like you take them!

With that in mind, she walked over to Xia Ruya with a wide grin. “Don’t you think the Star of the Sea is absolutely beautiful? Under the light from the chandelier, that shade of blue which glows just like the ocean is so mesmerizing that it captivates everybody.”

Xia Ruya raised her gaze and looked at her calmly with glistening eyes. “Yes, It’s beautiful! That’s one of the few large diamonds in the world. While the other large diamonds are either missing or unknown, this Star of the Sea is the only one that’s widely known. It exudes the most astounding glow in the world. It’s said that anybody who owns it will receive happiness and achieve everything they want.”
