She could not reject the Xia Family’s request, and neither did she have any reason to turn them down. Just like what Chen Linfang had said, she would benefit from the Xia Family being in an advantageous position. After all, she was indeed not the rightful heiress of the Wen Family and the Xia Family was the only family whom she could rely on. Besides, she had also fallen out of favor with the Wen Family.

She had to bear with the Xia Family even though she despised them.

Xia Ruya was utterly disgusted by how mercenary the Xia Family was. She felt incredibly ashamed by their behavior and how desperate they were to bootlick and socialize with the members of the upper-class society. She could almost feel them staring at her in disdain.

Had she known earlier that this would happen, she would have just endured with the embarrassment and canceled her coming-of-age ceremony. She also would have refrained from letting the Wen Family help her.

At this moment, Jiang Ruoyin and Jiang Yuqian walked towards her.

Jiang Yuqian smiled and scanned Xia Ruya from head to toe, then complimented genuinely. “Ruya, you’re so beautiful.”

She took pity on Xia Ruya who had put in lots of effort for her coming-of-age ceremony. Yet, she still could not outshine Wen Xinya and even made Wen Xinya look much more glorious in comparison.

Jiang Ruoyin smiled and said, “She’s just like a beautiful princess.”

She appeared beautiful and gentle in her princess outfit, which made her look attractive and youthful.

Blushing shyly, Xia Ruya said, “Stop teasing me.”

She clenched her fists tightly and thought to herself, All of this glory is supposedly mine, but I’m now just a pretty face. Wen Xinya is much prettier than me too.

Jiang Yuqian stared at her in awe and said, “We wouldn’t dare to tease you. You’re the lead for today, and you’ve outshone all of us.”

Jiang Ruoyin chuckled as well.

Xia Ruya felt even shyer.

Jiang Yuqian scanned her surroundings and said, “I saw Old Mr. and Mrs. Wen just now, but I didn’t see Wen Xinya. Is she going to be absent today?”

If she were to attend the ceremony, she would definitely show up with the Wen Family.

Shaking her head, Xia Ruya said, “I don’t know if she’ll be coming either.”

Logically speaking, Wen Xinya would definitely show up to see how much of a joke Xia Ruya had become, and leave shortly after. However, Wen Xinya was not there at all and she could not help but wonder what Wen Xinya had up her sleeves. She began to panic at the thought of what happened during Wen Xinya’s coming-of-age ceremony three days ago.

Jiang Ruoyin sneered. “Why do you care about her? Good that she’s not here, lest she wreaks havoc and embarrasses Ruya.”

Jiang Ruoyin was filled with resentment towards Wen Xinya at the thought of her father making her apologize to Wen Xinya during the Wen Corporation annual gala last year. Back then, Wen Xinya refused to accept her apology and even made her look bad in front of everyone.
