Chapter 1197 - Trampling on You to Climb the Ladder (2/2)

The thought of being compared to Lin Yingxin by the Ye Family elders who kept saying that she was inferior to Lin Yingxin, made Ye Feiyu feel incredibly revolted.

How could they compare me to such a lowly and despicable person? It’s such an insult to me!

Wen Xinya gradually began to understand how Ye Feiyu felt, for she had also been constantly compared to Xia Ruya in her previous lifetime. Hence, she could empathize with Ye Feiyu.

After criticizing Lin Yingxin for a while, Ye Feiyu felt much better. “Xinya, you haven’t answered me yet. Are you really going to join the Heiress’ Gala?”

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “I’ve already accepted the invitation. I can’t be absent.”

Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin had both laid a trap for her, which she had no choice but to step into.

Ye Feiyu said nonchalantly, “No one can force you if you don’t want to attend the gala. It’s no big deal. You can just absent yourself by using the excuse of being sick.”

Ye Feiyu had a bad feeling about the gala and she felt that Lin Yingxin had ill intentions for inviting Wen Xinya. Hence, she did not want her to attend it at all.

Wen Xinya shook her head and said, “That won’t work. I can’t ruin my Grampy’s reputation.”

Old Mr. Mo was the one who had taught her. By then, if she were to absent herself, she would not only give herself a bad image, she would also ruin Old Mr. Mo’s reputation which he had built for years.

After giving it some thought, Ye Feiyu realized that she was right. She groused. “That woman Lin Yingxin might just do that. By then, Old Mr. Mo will be implicated. I’ve never seen such a shameless and despicable woman like her before.”

Wen Xinya said, “Don’t worry, I can manage.”

Ye Feiyu did not think so, however. Instead, she was a little worried. “Xinya, you don’t know how scheming Lin Yingxin is. I’m worried that she might make use of you to gain reputation during the Heiress’ Gala.”

Wen Xinya was Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter. If Lin Yingxin could perform better than her during the Heiress’ Gala, she would gain a honorable reputation.

Three years ago, Lin Yingxin made use of her cousin to climb the social ladder during the Heiress’ Gala. Back then, she was close to her cousin and had intentionally hidden the fact that she would be joining the Heiress’ Gala from the latter. Later on, she found out the song that her cousin would be performing and proceeded to practice it in secret. At last, she performed that song right in front of her cousin and earned herself the applause and admiration of everyone. Her cousin then had no choice but to perform another song and ended up coming in second because she did not prepare herself well.

Hence, the invitation that she had extended to Wen Xinya was definitely not that simple.

Wen Xinya began to keep her guard up against Lin Yingxin. “I’m not the kind to be manipulated and bullied by others. If she dares to do that, I’ll dare to make her embarra.s.s herself too.”

Lin Yingxin was just a clown to her. Xia Ruya was the one whom she was truly wary about.

Ye Feiyu gave it some thought and felt a sense of relief. “It’s better to be careful.”

Wen Xinya was not one to be trifled with. If Lin Yingxin were to plot against Wen Xinya during the Heiress’ Gala, she would be in trouble.
