Chapter 1208: Wen Xinya Is Here
Wen Xinya only arrived at Boya Pavilion at 9:55 AM. The Heiress’ Gala was about to begin soon.
She looked graceful and poised while strutting towards the crowd, clad in her plain but elegant outfit. She exuded a natural and breathtakingly prestigious aura and seemed to be glowing like the moon.
Her beautiful set of beeswax jewelry shone brightly beneath the sun and was fascinatingly stunning. It complemented her outfit and added a touch of feminine delicateness.
Wen Xinya’s refined and alluring features were smooth and bright like jade beneath the sunlight. The calmness in her eyes and her nonchalant mannerisms could not hide her confidence.
At this moment, Wen Xinya’s beauty was the result of the tender care, affection and pampering that her man had showered her with. She was stunning, gorgeous and sultry!
The thought of their intimate session in the morning made Wen Xinya feel weak in her legs. Even after they were done, Si Yiyan still asked for more. If it weren’t because of her rationality, she wouldn’t have been able to make it to the gala.
Wen Xinya stopped herself from letting her thoughts run wild and began scanning the garden of Boya Pavilion with her bright and watery eyes.
All eyes were on Wen Xinya as soon as she entered.
It was because everyone had been paying attention to her and also because her name was prestigious.
The heiresses could all tell with one glance that Wen Xinya was their ultimate competitor for the gala. Those who doubted Wen Xinya’s talent previously were all stunned speechless. After all… there was a type of people who naturally exuded a formidable and domineering aura which would make everyone drop all doubts about them.
The scholarly were resplendent in their own way!
The heiresses of scholarly families absolutely believed that logic.
Hence, those who wanted to stand out from the rest during the gala would first have to outshine Wen Xinya!
Wen Xinya was extremely intelligent and sharp. Hence, she could sense that everyone was staring at her with everchanging expressions.
Indeed, any place could be a battlefield so long as there were women around.
Ye Feiyu was in the midst of admiring the chrysanthemums when she heard the ladies talking about Wen Xinya. Knowing that she had arrived, she happily scurried towards Wen Xinya and said, “Xinya, you’re finally here.”
It was Ye Feiyu’s first time attending the Heiress’ Gala and she was extremely annoyed and bored by the competitiveness between the heiresses of scholarly families. She had been looking forward to Wen Xinya’s arrival.
Wen Xinya was genuinely shocked to see Ye Feiyu, though she soon understood why the latter had shown up. Feeling extremely touched, she said, “I got tied up with something this morning. Thankfully, I’m not late.”
Wen Xinya would only reveal her true emotions to her trusted friends. Hence, she appeared a little unnatural when she mentioned about herself being tied up with something as her eyes darted all over the place.
However, Ye Feiyu was too happy to notice the expression on her face. She stepped forth and held onto Wen Xinya’s arm before complimenting excitedly, “Xinya, you’re really beautiful today.”
Although the garden was filled with beautiful women dressed lavishly to the nines, they all paled in comparison to Wen Xinya, who looked simple but unique.
Wen Xinya said, “You look really pretty too.”
Ye Feiyu was dressed ordinarily and was not exactly dressed to the nines like the others. However, Wen Xinya could tell that she had put in meticulous effort into dolling herself up. She was dressed in a yellow dress which looked fresh and soft with a tender sweetness. It made the pretty and sweet-looking Ye Feiyu look even more outstanding than before.
Ye Feiyu held her hand and said, “I’ll take you on a stroll in the garden. The garden in the backyard of Boya Pavilion is picturesque and worth the visit.”
Wen Xinya nodded.
While strolling in the garden, Ye Feiyu said to Wen Xinya, “There may be plenty of ladies here today, but you don’t have to worry. Those who are really talented and come from prestigious scholarly families wouldn’t bother to attend such events. The ones here may be reputable, but they’re not exactly remarkably talented. I doubt there are many that will really pose a threat to you.”
Ye Feiyu did not want to say directly, that while some of the ladies there were really from prestigious families, they were just extended members whom their families did not regard highly. Hence, they were just trying to use the chance to build a better reputation for themselves so as to impress their families. At the same time, they also wanted to build good connections for themselves. However, most of them were just family members of mediocre families.
Of course, not all of them were useless, though the genuinely talented ones were few and far between.
Having understood what she meant, Wen Xinya sighed and said, “The Heiress’ Gala is supposed to be a posh banquet, but it’s become so pathetic.”
For example, genuine scholarly families like the Ye Family would not bother joining the gala after finding out what it was really like.
Instead of continuing to talk about that topic, Ye Feiyu introduced Wen Xinya to some of the heiresses she knew. “That lady dressed in red is Du Ruoxin. The Du Family used to be an extremely renowned family of scholars in Capital city, but some of their descendants were haughty and heartless. Although they did not harbor intentions to harm others, they were rather mercenary and hence, the other scholarly families despised them. In recent years, the Du Family has lost some of its reputation. Du Ruoxin is known for her beauty and her family probably wants her to showcase her talents during the gala so that she can marry a wealthy man and save her family.”
There were different circles in Capital city, and each kind of family had their own network of connections. The Wen Family was a family of businessmen and hence, Wen Xinya did not know much about the scholarly families, unlike Ye Feiyu, who was part of the circle and hence, was well aware of everything.
The ladies attending the gala were mostly talented beauties of scholarly families. Since Wen Xinya did not know much about the circle, she would easily fall into a trap and be at a disadvantage. Hence, Ye Feiyu was rather worried about that and thus decided to attend the gala so as to inform Wen Xinya more about her potential competitors whom she ought to look out for.
“She’s actually very beautiful,” Wen Xinya said upon sight of Du Ruoxin, who was dressed in a red-colored off-shoulder dress and a white fur cardigan. Her dress accentuated her curves while her cardigan made her look gorgeous like a fairy.
Ye Feiyu said, “Du Ruoxin is good at calligraphy and her emulation of Madam Wei’s calligraphy style is rather famous in Capital city.”
