Chapter 129 - An Illegitimate Child (2/2)

Wen Xinya peeled the packet open with her slender fingers. Pinching lightly with her thumb and index finger, she pulled out a piece of tissue and cleaned her hand gently and meticulously. Her jade-like fingers appeared translucent under the chandelier lighting, her movements deliberate and elegant, yet allowing everyone to feel every bit of the biting wind radiating from her.

Suddenly, everyone could not read her—she appeared aloof in such an embarra.s.sing situation and dealt with it indifferently. She seemed to be able to deal with the greatest disaster with composure and emitted an elegant, calm, and collected vigor.

Yes, vigor!

Strangely, a young, merely fifteen-year-old girl possessed a vigor absent even in many esteemed families.

She made men feel ashamed, and women feel jealous!

Wen Xinya returned the tissue to the public relations manager and said, “Discard this piece of garbage for me!”

The words “discard” and “garbage” were emphasized in tone and clearly articulated, signifying piercing coldness.

“Yes, Miss Wen!” The public relations manager obeyed without hesitation.

With a half-smile on her face, Wen Xinya’s gaze swept the hall. Though gleeful, her eyes were frosty and did not reflect the slightest warmth. Similarly, her ornate and thin lips looked ready to spew sleet and hail.

Li Yun crawled aside and started bawling her eyes out, her heart-wrenching, sharp sobs ringing throughout the hall. She simultaneously wailed, pounded the ground, and occasionally even rolled around. “Life’s unfair, the foster daughter that I’ve raised for twelve years turned out to be a deadly ruthless sn.o.b, can’t be counted on at all, let me die… Boohoo…”

Aside, Zhang Guang jumped in with his vehement scoldings. “Little b*tch, if we hadn’t retrieved you from the garbage bin, you think you could soar to where you are today? Now you’re being ungrateful.”

The hall was filled with upper-cla.s.s elites who had never witnessed such a shrewish scene. They could not bear the sight and looked at each other helplessly.

Wen Yuya was stunned. “Sister’s foster parents are mortifying, she’s so pitiful for having such foster parents! Sister has lived with such people for so long, no wonder…”

She caught her tongue, bit down on her lips, and hung her head nervously.

However, it left those around with limitless imaginations—no wonder what? Previously, the rumors spreading in the circle regarding Wen Xinya’s gross mannerisms, arrogance, vulgar language… were they true?

Xia Ruya tugged at Wen Yuya hurriedly. “Yuya, don’t speak nonsense. If you make Grandpa unhappy, he’ll definitely punish you.”

Xia Ruya’s words unquestionably confirmed everyone’s guesses—the rumors regarding Wen Xinya were indeed true, albeit covered up by Old Mr. Wen’s means.

Li Yun started out faking her cries; however, her emotions escalated as she sobbed, and then she started swearing. “F*ck you, who do you think you are? Don’t think you’re a human just because you have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. You’re but an old pig about to be slaughtered—a good, a crossbreed between a camel and a donkey—a freak, a Sorghum seed planted within the millets—an illegitimate child, a pet of pigs and dogs with uneven ears…”

Wen Xinya observed with a cool detachment, as though she were not the person that Li Yun was scolding. The chandelier lightings seemingly showered her with a coat of golden armor, highlighting her elegant, gorgeous good looks, making her emotionless face appear even more mysterious!

Someone tried to determine her emotions then. However, her eyes revealed complete stillness—an unascertainable look!
