Chapter 1250 - The Scheme Devised by the Owner of Boya Pavilion (1/2)

They did not wish to talk about Xia Ruya any longer. In conclusion, she had brought it all upon herself.

Zhou Tianyu barked. “Hey, can we please focus on the main point? The main point is that Xinya has won the gala, alright? Who is Xia Ruya!?!”

The few of them were frantically congratulating her while holding up their wine gla.s.ses. “C’mon, let’s cheers to Xinya winning the t.i.tle. Cheers!”

Wen Xinya hurriedly said, “Don’t overreact, guys. I’m sure you guys know the standards of the other heiresses at the gala. I can’t be compared to the other talents in the Capital city. You guys know how mediocre I am!”

Just like what Old Mr. Mo had said, the foundation was very important when it came to the four arts. Although she did rather well, she had only been learning for a little more than three years and hence, was stuck in an awkward and mediocre level.

She only managed to excel in playing the zither because of her impeccable technique and Si Yiyan’s pointers.

She clearly did not have any foundation in calligraphy and had only won the showdown thanks to Ye Feiyu.

She won the painting contest because she had applied a shortcut.

The only thing that she was really good at, was chess.

Xu Tongxuan laughed and said, “Xinya, don’t beat yourself up or measure yourself using the strict standards that Old Mr. Mo enforces on you. You’re currently one of the top talents in Capital city and there are people who are more outstanding than you, but… what’s most important is your flair.”

Gu Junling agreed. “Xuanxuan is right. We all know how outstanding you are. Here, let’s toast. Cheers!”

Ling Qingxuan grabbed her arm and said, “Trust you to have the cheek to toast with so little wine. Fill it!”

Smiling smugly, Zhou Tianyu said, “Stop putting Xinya in a spot. She’s a married woman now. She’s so submissive to her husband.”

Wen Xinya was incredibly embarra.s.sed as they laughed uncontrollably.

They then began talking about Boya Pavilion’s att.i.tude towards the gala.

The reason for the gala’s lack of reputation was not because the owner was not famous enough but rather, it was because she had been keeping a low profile when organizing the gala. Hence, everyone began to speculate about the owner after hearing Wen Xinya’s recount.

Gently swirling the gla.s.s of wine in her hand, Zhou Tianyu said, “The owner of Boya Pavilion is just trying to make an issue out of the fact that Xinya had excelled in all four arts, so as to draw the attention away from the scandal caused by Xia Ruya. In that case, Boya Pavilion wouldn’t be affected either. What a smart move.”
