Chapter 1213 - Since Youre Here, Please Settle Down (1/2)

The porch in the middle of the lake had an octagonal roof and a jade interior. The porch contained calligraphy tables, ink, and paper, brushes, tea poys, chess tables, zither tables as well as other facilities. The porch was held by eight pillars and the owner was so meticulous as to think of building a green bridge in between each of the pillars, which would extend all the way towards the sh.o.r.e. The seats were situated along the bridges of each pillar.

There were two ends of the bridge and five seats on each end. Every guest would be seated on a long, cus.h.i.+oned bench.

Since everyone would be seated around the porch, they would not have to compete with each other for better seats which would give them a clearer view of the porch.

Of course… there was also a ranking system that was used for the allocation of seats.

The so-called ranking system ranked the heiresses according to their family background and reputation. Ever since history, men were usually positioned in the left while women were positioned in the right. That was how the Yin and Yang came about. Hence, the person seated on the most extreme right was the leader.

The owner said, “It’s almost time now. Please take a seat, everyone!”

The owner led the judges to one of the bridges before entering the porch and taking a seat.

There were designated seats for the judges on the porch.

At this moment, ten-odd waitresses clad in pink Cheongsam dresses appeared one after another and ushered the heiresses to their respective seats.

One of the waitresses walked towards Wen Xinya and said, “Miss Wen, please follow me.”

“Thank you!” Wen Xinya answered smilingly.

The waitress then led Wen Xinya onto one of the bridges and ushered her to the first seat from the right.

The waitress retreated politely.

Wen Xinya finally discovered that she was seated in the leader’s seat, directly next to the panel of judges. Lin Yingxin was seated on her left.

At this moment, she did not plan to look at Lin Yingxin, though she could sense that the latter was staring at her with animosity. Wen Xinya felt a cold s.h.i.+ver down her spine and gooseb.u.mps formed on her skin. However, she had no idea what thoughts Lin Yingxin was harboring.

Wen Xinya frowned slightly. Ever since she arrived at the Heiress’ Gala, she had a strange feeling about the people and the venue, all of which she found to be rather complicated.

What could Lin Yingxin and Xia Ruya be getting up to at such an event?

Du Ruoxin was such a vicious and sharp-tongued woman. How did Xia Ruya even offend her? She actually insulted Xia Ruya brazenly an in front of everyone.

Although the owner of Boya Pavilion and Wen Xinya’s grandmother were known as the most beautiful women of Capital city back then, Wen Xinya had never heard Old Mr. Mo mention about her before. How is the Mo Family related to her? Clearly, this person doesn’t seem too significant to Grampy. Yet, she actually complimented me in front of everyone and asked about Grampy’s health. This is definitely not a coincidence.

What is this? Does she harbor ill intentions towards me or what?

Wen Xinya glanced at the owner, who was seated in the judges’ seats in under the middle of the porch. Her eyes glistened before coming to a halt.

There’s no point in dwelling on this. Since I’m here, I shall settle down.

Wen Xinya slowly returned to her seat.

As soon as she did, she sensed numerous glances being shot at her. There was a clear animosity in their gazes. Wen Xinya finally understood what Si Yiyan meant when he told her that everyone at the gala could be her enemy.
