Chapter 631: How Unlucky!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wen Xinya managed to cause a stir during Xia Ruya’s coming-of-age ceremony. Even Old Mr. Wen did not say much about it. In fact, he left together with Old Mrs. Wen, even before the banquet ended.

Ever since Old Mr. Wen retired, he had rarely attended the social events of the upper-cla.s.s society. He would merely show up to important ones and leave midway. After all, no one would say a word about it since he was respectable and old in his years.

However, things were no longer the same as before, and the fact that Old Mr. Wen had left midway through the coming-of-age ceremony, indirectly meant that he believed that Xia Ruya had colluded with Ning Shuqian to harm Wen Xinya and plot against the Wen Family.

Hence, lots of guests made up excuses to leave halfway through the ceremony too.

There was a sudden decrease in guests.

The supposedly lavish and extravagant banquet came to a pathetic end.

Xia Ruya dashed into the washroom and stared at her own reflection in the mirror, utterly stunned and bewildered. Although she had already changed her hairstyle and touched up her makeup, she still looked pathetic.

She suddenly turned on the faucet and splashed water onto her face, as if it could wash away her humiliation.

By the time she exited, the Xia Family had already seen off the last guest, and there were no longer any guests in sight.

Old Mr. Xia flew into a rage and gave her a hard slap across the face.

The sound of the loud slap echoed in the empty and s.p.a.cious banquet hall.

Xia Ruya felt a sudden numbness in her legs and lost her balance. She stumbled forward and fell straight onto the ground, causing the blood from her mouth to drip all over the place. One drop, two drops, three drops…

The blood looked just like a vibrant flower!

Old Mr. Xia turned pale and looked extremely daunting. “You b.a.s.t.a.r.d child. The Xia Family has paid such a huge price to throw a lavish coming-of-age ceremony for you so as to bring you pride and glory. That way, we’ll enjoy some face value too. But what did you do…”

Old Mr. Xia felt extremely aggrieved at the thought of the hefty sum that he had spent to throw the banquet. He swallowed his pride and socialized with the esteemed members of the upper-cla.s.s society, so as to forge some connections. Yet, they simply patronized him and looked down on him in a condescending manner, as if he was a lowly and disgraceful piece of garbage. Xia Ruya was a wastrel to him. Not only did she fail to bring any benefits to the Xia Family, she even made them lose so much money.

“Grandpa, I…” She felt a stinging pain in her face as if chili had been rubbed onto it. The sound of the hard slap was still ringing in her ears and giving her a dull ache.
