Xia Ruya was filled with disgruntlement and anger. Images of Wen Xinya flooded her brain.

Ever since Wen Xinya reunited with the Wen Family, nothing Xia Ruya did went smoothly, just like her plan which she had devised meticulously this time. She initially thought that her plan was clever and smart. Yet, it was still foiled by Wen Xinya in the end.

It had never crossed her mind that Wen Xinya would be able to get into the good books of Old Mr. Wen within less than a year of reuniting with the family. Recalling the way Old Mr. Wen had looked at her, she deduced that he must have found her suspicious and hence, declined the help offered by the Xia Family.

Xia Ruya began to get a major headache, for she knew that her father and grandfather were definitely going to reprimand her for failing to carry out the plan and that she would have to face the music when she returned home.

Hence, she deliberately sought an excuse to stay in the Wen Family’s Old Mansion, so as to let the Xia Family know that she still had a place in the Wen Family. Thus, there was nothing the Xia Family could do to her even if they were upset with her.

As soon as she stepped foot inside the Xia Family home, she began to be overwhelmed with frustration and anger. Although they were her biological family, she did not enjoy being around them at all. After all, she grew up in the Wen Family home and had been pampered and doted on for twelve years. The Xia Family were inferior to the Wen Family in almost every aspect, be it class, culture or manners. She truly despised the Xia Family’s despicable and mercenary nature.

A servant scurried towards Xia Ruya and exclaimed, “Second Missy, Old Sir and Sir would like you to go to the study now.”

“Got it!” Xia Ruya said with a look of disdain in her eyes. She thought to herself, Even the servants here are inferior to those at the Wen Family home. These servants don’t have any manners at all. Back in the Wen Family, the servants would never yell and exclaim in such a flustered manner, for they had been through proper training and etiquette classes.

The servant stared at Xia Ruya and muttered angrily under her breath, “Psht! She’s just an illegitimate daughter. Who does she think she is? Does she actually still regard herself as the glorious and mighty Miss Wen?”

Xia Ruya froze and stopped in her tracks, feeling incredibly humiliated. Ever since she returned to the Xia Family, the servants had never treated her with respect.

She took a deep breath and unclenched her fists before walking towards the study.

“Hey, I was just wondering who has come home. Turns out it’s the glorious Miss Wen from the Xia Family.” As soon as Xia Ruya entered the study, she heard the sarcastic remark which angered her greatly.

Xia Ruya looked over to see that it was her stepmother Chen Linfang, who seemed to be gloating and staring at her smugly. She subconsciously lowered her head and yelled, “Mother!”

Chen Linfang humphed and treated her indifferently.

Xia Ruya could not help but resent her father and grandfather for keeping mum instead of chiding Chen Linfang for making such a snide remark. However, she would often hide her emotions ingeniously by staring at the ground.
