Chapter 1235 - Things Are Getting Interesting (1/2)

Xia Ruya’s explanation began to sound more convincing because it was logical and reasonable. She first twisted the logic to defend herself before pointing out the fact that they did not have any evidence. Lastly, she chose to play the sympathy card and make herself seem like the victim. She was certain that most people would believe that she was innocent, and even those who had suspected her would definitely give the matter some more thought.

All of a sudden, she managed to turn the situation around and defended herself.

Everyone was momentarily speechless.

She had no choice but to admit that Xia Ruya was indeed good at defending herself.

Xia Ruya knew that she had already gotten herself out of trouble and was no longer seen as the culprit. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said, “I really didn’t poison anyone. I swear with all my heart.”

Xia Ruya sounded rather sincere and she looked extremely pitiful.

Wen Xinya sneered and thought to herself, She swears? Swearing only works on those who believe in it. Swearing is something that one would do for the sake of showing others. Xia Ruya is evil and selfish, and all she does is plot against others. Can she really be trusted?

At this moment, Xia Ruya stared at Wen Xinya sincerely and said, “Miss Wen, I really didn’t poison you. Please believe me.”

Wen Xinya was the main character in this incident and hence, there was no way she could shirk the responsibility. Regardless of whether Wen Xinya believed her or not, there would be no way she could accuse Xia Ruya as long as there was no evidence.

If Wen Xinya doesn’t believe me, she’ll have to come up with evidence to support her claims. If Wen Xinya can’t come up with any evidence, she’ll just be framing me like Lin Yingxin.

If Wen Xinya believes me, I would never be suspected as a culprit. After all, Wen Xinya is involved in this matter. If she believes me, everyone else will have no reason to doubt me.

If Wen Xinya remains silent, that would mean that she’s silently admitting that she has no evidence. Once Wen Xinya accepts my explanation, everyone will choose to believe me.

Xia Ruya had resorted to playing mind games and manipulated everyone’s mind.

Hence, whatever Wen Xinya did would be advantageous to Xia Ruya.

Ye Feiyu gritted her teeth and cursed angrily. “This woman is really atrocious and wicked.”

Du Ruoxin remained seated and sipped on some tea with a derisive smirk on her lips. She was waiting to see how Wen Xinya would deal with the trap that Xia Ruya had laid for her.

Wen Xinya walked towards Xia Ruya and laughed sinisterly and sarcastically. She suddenly yelled, “Waiter!”

Wen Xinya’s sudden approach made Xia Ruya tense up immediately as she stiffened her back and kept her guard up.

Everyone was clueless as to what Wen Xinya was planning to do. What did this have to do with the waiter!?!

One of the waitresses frantically stepped forth and asked, “Miss Wen, do you have any orders for me?”

Wen Xinya stared at Xia Ruya and smiled radiantly. “I need plenty of tea. Wine will do too. Of course… if Boya Pavilion can’t bear to serve me wine, water will work as well.”

The waitress was bewildered.

Everyone was equally puzzled. Some even thought that Wen Xinya had gone crazy because of how angered she was by Xia Ruya.

Even Xia Ruya could not help but become perplexed. However, she was filled with a sudden sense of uneasiness which reminded her that Wen Xinya was up to no good.

Ye Feiyu turned to look at Du Ruoxin before asking, “What do you think Xinya is getting up to?”

Du Ruoxin smirked and gibed. “Are you asking me? Do I know you very well?”
