Chapter 9 - How Dare You Challenge Me? — Umm? (2/2)

Unbothered, Wen Xinya turned to Ning Shuqian, asking her, “What have I done to her? I did not beat or scold her, did I?”

Ning Shuqian was speechless. Indeed, Wen Xinya had done nothing to harm Wen Yuya physically. She could only look at her poor daughter suffering in fear and hatred after being browbeaten by Wen Xinya’s words. Yet, there was nothing she could do to help except feel sorry and harbor a great sense of enmity towards Wen Xinya.

She had underestimated this little bitch!

Seeing Ning Shuqian suffering from humiliation, Xia Ruya had to step in. “Xinya, Sister Yuya is someone who speaks from the heart. She is so outspoken and direct that sometimes even Aunt Ning cannot do anything about it. You’ll get to know her better after some time.”

Xia Ruya managed to catch her breath. She almost felt breathless earlier when Wen Xinya walked towards Wen Yuya with such an unspoken power of authority. Her brain was screaming for her to escape. To Xia Ruya, Wen Xinya was as scary as a devil that came from hell.

Wen Xinya answered, “Yes, I have just returned to the Wen Family. Hence, I don’t know her as well as you do.” Then she looked at Ning Shuqian and apologized respectfully. “Aunt Ning and Sister Yuya, please pardon me if I have offended you in any way.”

When Ning Shuqian was just feeling a little better and wanted to display her broad-mindedness, Wen Xinya interrupted. “Aunt Ning, pardon my honesty. There is nothing good about being direct and outspoken. Calling others names like ‘mother hen’ or ‘bitch’ won’t do any good to Sister Yuya’s reputation as an adopted daughter of the Wen Family, and could even do a discredit to the Wen Family. Fortunately, it was me who was being scolded by Sister Yuya today. I won’t hold it against her, naturally, but it could be a different story if she did it to someone else.”

She then spoke to Wen Yuya in a lecturing tone. “Sister Yuya, you have to take note of this. The Wen Family could buy anything you want, but not your reputation.”

Ning Shuqian almost spat blood onto Wen Xinya’s face. She never expected to be lectured by this little bitch. She became so speechless that it felt like almost nothing she said was going to make things right.

By now, Wen Yuya who was seated at the sofa, feeling extremely pissed. As she heard this, she sprung up from the sofa. However, Ning Shuqian swiftly grabbed her hands and said in a moderate tone, “Your sister is right. You are an adopted daughter of the Wen Family. You grew up with a civilized upbringing. Do watch your behavior as a daughter of the Wen Family.”

After hearing Ning Shuqian’s words, Wen Yuya tilted her head up high. She was 1.66 meters tall and looked tougher than Wen Xinya, who was only 1.58 meters tall. She felt a sense of great contentment from within.

Wen Xinya chose to ignore such attempts to ridicule her. She turned around and walked away.

Wen Xinya did not realize there was a man sitting at the resting area at a short distance away. With a magazine in his hands, this man had seen everything that just happened.

That beautiful silhouette of Wen Xinya looked slim and charming under the refracted lights from the chandelier. The man had captured the act of this enchanting character in his eyes. He mumbled to himself, “Is this the eldest daughter of the Wen Family?”

After seeing what just happened, the shop assistant was trembling with horror. It was the first time she saw someone being able to attack relentlessly with her words and still maintain a class of high status and elegance. The eldest daughter of the Wen Family seemed to be a powerful character.

The shop assistant quickly walked up to her with a welcoming smile on her face, saying, “Miss Wen, we have just launched a new series of long dresses with a nostalgic design. You have long beautiful legs and will definitely look nice in them.”

It had been a common misconception that long dresses are made especially for ladies with shorter legs to conceal them. Those with a pair of long legs would present themselves even better in long dresses with a nostalgic effect.

Wen Xinya followed the shop assistant’s lead to browse for other outfits.
