Chapter 1251 - Whos the Real Pawn? (2/2)

Noticing that she seemed to be deep in thought, Si Yiyan asked, “Are you in a bad mood?”

Si Yiyan could guess that it must have been because of the owner of Boya Pavilion.

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “It’s no big deal, I just feel upset because Xia Ruya resorted to spiking my food in order to harm me during the gala while Lin Yingxin ended up in a pathetic plight after trying to make use of me. Du Ruoxin had also put in effort into causing a stir during the gala and in the eyes of everyone, I’m the winner. However, I got used by the owner of Boya Pavilion. Even the heiresses were implicated.”

“Everyone pulled scheming tricks and competed with each other. Yet, the only winner, in the end, was the owner. We’ve all become her pawns.”

Wen Xinya did not expect that to be the outcome at all. Lin Yingxin’s insanity and Xia Ruya’s scandal did not affect the reputation of Boya Pavilion at all.

Si Yiyan said calmly, “They’re all just there to achieve their own goals. Although the owner was the real winner at the end of the day, you’re not a loser either. Not only were you given a good reputation, but you also managed to teach Xia Ruya a good lesson. It’s not a bad thing that the owner is willing to give you fame and regard you highly. You may not care about reputation, but you can’t deny that it can bring you more benefits.”

After giving it some thought, Wen Xinya felt that Si Yiyan was right. However, she had her own qualms. “The owner bears a grudge against me. I hope she won’t try anything funny.”

The mention of the owner made Wen Xinya’s eyes turn menacing. She added, “Yan… Grampy said that the owner detests me because she has some differences with my granny, but I doubt things are that simple.”

Si Yiyan smiled and remained silent. It would be taboo for Wen Xinya to gossip about her elders, and even if Old Mr. Mo were to know of it, he would just receive a lashing. However, if Si Yiyan were to get involved, Old Mr. Mo would be displeased with him.

Not noticing the look on his face, Wen Xinya continued, “She detests my granny even until today, even though granny has already passed on. She even resents me, granny’s descendant. Things are definitely not that simple.”

Next, she asked curiously, “Do you think she hates Granny because she’s in love with Grampy? After all, I heard that plenty of women harbored designs on him back then.”

Si Yiyan smiled, wishing he could say: “You’ve got a wild imagination. Old Mr. Mo is going to punish you if he finds out.”

The more Wen Xinya thought about it, the more excited she got and the more likely she found it to be. “The owner is still single until now. Most women who remain unmarried for life, usually do so because of unrequited love.”

She could not help but take pity on the owner, thinking that she must have had a feud with Ren Yuqian because Old Mr. Mo did not realize her devotion towards him, nor reciprocated her feelings.

Si Yiyan patted her head and said, “I don’t think you’ve finished the homework that Teacher Ji assigned you. It’s Monday tomorrow.”

Wen Xinya was immediately distracted. “Ah, I almost forgot about that.”

She then scurried towards the study.
