Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At eight o’clock at night, Wen Xinya’s coming-of-age ceremony officially commenced in Shande Mansion. This time, the ceremony was extremely grand and the invited guests were all figures of authority in vastly different fields, such as the military, civil sector, and corporate world. The elites of the upper-cla.s.s society were also invited, including some of Old Mr. Mo’s a.s.sociates.
There were lampposts on the sides of the long and narrow pathway and the fragrant scent of pine oil lingered in the air. The yellowish pine oil complemented the lights in the night and created a beautiful sight.
There was a large gla.s.s coral lamp on the high pillar of the East Hall. The polished gla.s.s lamp looked extremely beautiful and eye-catching.
There were tables, a grand chair, a teapoy, as well as other furniture in the hall. The ground was also covered with dark brownish-yellow marble which was gorgeous and elegant.
There was a painting of the G.o.ddess of Mercy hung on the wall in the hall. All of the glow from the gold seemed to have been focused on the G.o.ddess of Mercy, making it look extremely ravis.h.i.+ng and opulent. It was also pleasing to the eye.
There was a golden phoenix incense burner on the long, ebony table. The thick fumes from the incense rose into the air and diffused away. On the left side of the table was a rosewood mahogany jade bergamot while on the right, was a glazed flowerbed.
On the Eastside, there was an indigo canopy on the wall and there was also a shelf which contained some bronze-enamel flower baskets, blue and white porcelain jars, bonsais with pits made of white stone, as well as some green and purple floral gla.s.s jars.
On the Westside, there were twelve part.i.tion screens, on which there were Lagerstroemia embroidered with some premium thread. From afar, it looked just like an actual flower and was extremely beautiful.
The entire place boasted of a cla.s.sic and elegant vibe.
It was simply too… opulent!
It was so extravagant that one might just suffocate.
Everyone could tell with just one look that the items on display were all authentic antiques which were priceless, and not high-quality replicas or counterfeits. The cla.s.sic vibe exuded by the authentic antiques could not be mimicked by counterfeits or replicas.
Although all of the guests who had been invited were reputable people of status and fame and had experienced lots of things before, they were nonetheless dumbfounded by the sight before them.
“Oh dear! Miss Wen’s coming-of-age ceremony must have cost a bomb. Look at the decor of the hall. All of the ornaments are expensive antiques and the house was obviously meticulously prepared.”
“No one in the city can compare to her at all. She’s become a billionaire after inheriting those a.s.sets. She can safely live in luxury for the rest of her life. If I were her… I wouldn’t mind giving up the place as the successor of the Wen Family.”
“When Ning Shuqian announced her pregnancy previously, I thought that Wen Xinya would lose her place as the successor of the Wen Family. She had such a shameful past which cannot be erased. If it weren’t because of desperate needs, the Wen Family wouldn’t have brought her home at all. Old Mr. Wen is in the pink of his health and Wen Haowen is in his prime as well. Ning Shuqian still has time to give birth to another outstanding successor.”
