Wen Xinya was standing not far away from Ning Shuqian, enjoying the show gleefully—Ning Shuqian should also taste everything that she had endured in her previous lifetime; it had only just started.

Naturally, she also saw Wen Haowen’s self-centered and conceited act, leaving his wife in the lurch among the reporters to face their offensive questions and slaughtering—seemed like they were not as loving a husband and wife pair as they portrayed!

Husband and wife were birds of the same forest, yet flying off in different directions when disaster struck—now, disaster had yet to even strike.

Ning Shuqian said to the media that they were a loving couple. Wen Xinya lightly browsed the photos on her phone. If she were to send this photo to the media, not sure if tomorrow’s papers would slap Ning Shuqian in the face?

Thinking of which, her gaze inadvertently saw Xia Ruya standing not far away. Her lips curled up into a sneer uncontrollably—probably similar to the charity auction banquet the other time, it was Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian who brought her over!

Xia Ruya obviously also saw her. Compared to her calmness, Xia Ruya instead appeared very stunned, as if it was totally impossible for her to appear here, and walked over with a glass of red wine in her hand.

“Xinya, I thought you wouldn’t attend tonight’s banquet event—didn’t expect you to actually come.” Xia Ruya was really very stunned, because she had gotten to know from Grandma Wen way earlier that Grandpa Wen wouldn’t be attending tonight’s banquet, and naturally, Uncle Wen and Aunt Ning wouldn’t bring Wen Xinya to the banquet to enjoy the limelight. Thus, she had been sure that Wen Xinya wouldn’t appear here.

She had purposely incited Ning Shuqian to persuade Wen Haowen to bring her to attend the banquet. She wanted to let everyone in the circle know that even though she was not the eldest daughter of the Wen Family, she was still classy and elegant—just like such a high-profile banquet that even the legitimate eldest daughter of the Wen Family couldn’t attend, she could instead attend. She wanted everyone to know that although Wen Xinya had returned to the Wen Family, she still couldn’t replace her position in the hearts of the members of the Wen Family.

However, what she didn’t expect was that not only did Wen Xinya come, but she even appeared in a splendid attire. From where she stood, she happened to be able to clearly see the embroidered interlocking branches and flowers on the moon-white satin skirt—between the interlocking branches and vines, leaves extended outwards and flowers bloomed gradually, as if a wisteria plant laid within her skirt, extremely vivid and gorgeous.

“Even you, a disgraceful bastard child of an inferior family, can come, why can’t I, the decent legitimate eldest daughter of the Wen Family, come?” Wen Xinya casually stirred the red wine in her glass, the red ruby-like liquid, under the refracted lighting from the chandeliers, appeared especially translucent and beautiful.

The elegant and classy smile on Xia Ruya’s face froze slightly but did not affect her overall image. Her gaze scanned the banquet before turning back onto Wen Xinya’s face as she smiled and asked, “It was Uncle Wen and Aunt Ning who brought me over. Did you come with Grandpa Wen? Why don’t I see him?”

It was unnecessary for Wen Xinya to answer her question. She glanced sideways at her plainly, her eyes filled with despise and disdain. “Is it? Why didn’t I see you coming into the banquet with Aunt Ning just now?”
