Chapter 108 - The Mysterious Si Yiyan (2/2)

Ning Shuqian could not help but feel disappointed. She thought that Wen Xinya would approach her for help preparing the party. “Don’t be afraid, if you need anything, come find Aunt Ning. I will do my best to help you.”

She deliberately emphasized the last part of her sentence. Ever since she married into the Wen Family, Old Mr. Wen had never openly acknowledged her as his daughter-in-law. He was in charge of the Wen Family, and his att.i.tude towards her determined the way others in the circle treated her. Although she held onto the t.i.tle of Mrs. Wen, she could not help but feel embarra.s.sed and awkward about her ident.i.ty.

The ordinary households were not good enough, and she refused to interact with them, but the truly rich households looked down on her ident.i.ty and refused to interact with her. Furthermore, Mo Yunyao had an excellent reputation within the circle. Even until now, many people continued to compare her to Mo Yunyao. Be it background or knowledge, looks or reputation, she was not even half as good as Mo Yunyao.

It would definitely be a rare opportunity for her if she could trick Wen Xinya into letting her plan and arrange this party!

If such an important party was arranged by her, it would indirectly represent her ident.i.ty as Mrs. Wen. If she displayed her virtuous actions and t.i.tle, the people in the circle would naturally think that Wen Xinya had accepted her as her stepmother. Wen Xinya was Wen Family’s only true heir, and her att.i.tude represented Old Mr. Wen’s stance. If even Wen Xinya acknowledged her, the circle would naturally stop comparing her to Mo Yunyao and she would be able to join the high-status circle. Wen Yuya’s reputation would also rise along with hers.

Sure enough, Wen Xinya could not be happier. “Earlier when Grandpa called me, he asked me to start the preparations for my Homecoming party. Since I don’t know anything, how would I know what to prepare? I have been vexing over this issue recently. Since Aunt Ning has offered her help, I finally feel at ease.”

Xia Ruya quickly joined in. “It’s the right choice to approach Aunt Ning. Aunt Ning has a good relations.h.i.+p with actress Lu Xueyi from the entertainment industry. Aunt Lu has attended countless red carpet events in Cannes, during Golden Eagle, and Baihua Film Festivals. These type of parties are common events for her, and thus, Aunt Ning knows quite a bit about them too.”

Wen Xinya’s eyes shone. “Really?”

Wen Ruya quickly figured out her mother’s intentions and nodded furiously. “Of course, it’s true. Aunt Lu’s relations.h.i.+p with my mother has always been good.”

“I’ve always liked Aunt Lu. Aunt Ning, could you introduce her to me?” Wen Xinya’s eyes glowed with adoration and respect.

Lu Xueyi may be very famous, but her reputation in the circle was not good. Her private life was not in check, she was frequently involved in scandals, and she had been exposed many times. She had been reported to be the mistress of a certain rich family by magazines and had even been exposed to being the third party and joining a certain rich family. Sure enough, birds of a feather flocked together!

“Of course, I can. When the chance arises, I will introduce Xueyi to you.” Ning Shuqian seemed to think that Wen Xinya had promised to let her help out with the Homecoming party. If she agreed, no matter how much Old Mr. Wen refused to allow that, it would only be a foregone conclusion.

“Thank you, Aunt Ning!” Wen Xinya was touched beyond words.

“Your Homecoming dinner is going to be the grandest banquet held by the Wen Family in the past 20 years. Not only will it include the entire Wen Family, but the whole upper cla.s.s and media will also have their eyes focused on it. Therefore, there is no room for mistakes. If you need any help, you must tell me. If something goes wrong, it will implicate the entire Wen Corporation.” Ning Shuqian refused to give up and purposely made the problem sound even more serious. Wen Xinya had been wandering out on the streets for the past 15 years and did not understand anything anyway.

As expected, Wen Xinya could not hide her fear. “I understand, Aunt Ning.”
