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

At this moment, the beautiful Du Ruoxin rose from her seat slowly with a smile. However, she looked rather menacing because of how thin her lips were. “Madam, may I ask if the seats are arranged according to the reputation of every heiress here today?”

Du Ruoxin’s appalling question attracted everyone’s attention. Due to her ravis.h.i.+ng and gorgeous appearance, she was undoubtedly a major compet.i.tor and threat in the eyes of the other heiresses. Hence, they paid more attention to her.

Instead of answering her question directly, the owner of Boya Pavilion asked, “Do you have an issue with it?”

Glaring daggers at Wen Xinya, Du Ruoxin pointed at her and asked, “Madam, are you just treating her better than the rest because she’s Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter?”

What a bold and mean woman. She immediately targeted me.

Wen Xinya finally realized that Ye Feiyu was seated in between her and Du Ruoxin.

Wen Xinya was supposed to be ranked at the bottom in terms because of her family’s intellectual background. However, the owner of Boya Pavilion had to consider the esteemed status Old Mr. Mo held in the literary world.

Du Ruoxin’s agenda for pointing that out was unclear. Wen Xinya had no idea if Du Ruoxin harbored any ill intentions towards her.

Meanwhile, Xia Ruya, who was seated opposite Wen Xinya, smirked in a gloating manner while her emotions flowed out of her eyes. She was filled with an inexplicable sense of thrill when she heard the “lunatic” Du Ruoxin attacking Wen Xinya.

Lin Yingxin glanced at Wen Xinya from the corner of her eye with a tinge of maliciousness and vaunter.

The owner nodded and said, “Putting her family’s intellectual background aside, Wen Xinya has been taught by Old Mr. Mo himself and hence, she deserves to be a.s.signed to that seat. Miss Du, do you still have any qualms?”

Du Ruoxin shook her head, though she still had a cold and aloof gaze in her eyes which made her look mean and standoffish.

Although everyone had accepted the reasonable explanation, they felt even more indignant and displeased with Wen Xinya.

Ye Feiyu leaned closer towards her and whispered, “Did… you offend her?”

Du Ruoxin was known as a lunatic in the circle, for she was extremely arrogant and sharp-tongued. Those who had offended her would definitely get a hard time.

She was obviously out to provoke Wen Xinya by asking that question.

Smiling wryly, Wen Xinya shook her head and said, “I only got to know her today.”

She was just attacking Xia Ruya just now and yet, she’s suddenly pointed the arrow at me. I really don’t know how I have offended her in any way. I’ve only spoken to her once.

“What are you guys gossiping about? Surely it can’t be about me?” Du Ruoxin gibed derisively with an aloof tone.

Ye Feiyu got a great shock and her face turned red, suddenly at a loss for what to do.

Du Ruoxin snorted with laughter as a look of contempt formed on her face.

Although Wen Xinya did not feel awkward or embarra.s.sed because of what Du Ruoxin had said, her face stiffened and thought to herself, This Du Ruoxin is such a tough nut to crack. I can’t get along with her at all.

Du Ruoxin glanced at Ye Feiyu and Wen Xinya in a mocking manner before blatantly remarking sarcastically, “Badmouthing others behind their backs is not something that an upright person would do.”
