Chapter 1787 - : The Boya Pavilions Ploy Fails (1/2)

Due to the media frenzy over the Boya Pavilion, all the dirty secrets of the various heiresses were all dug up and exposed one by one. An event that was meant to display the talents of the heiresses had ended up being a minefield of scandals. Everyone’s minds were blown.

The Heiress’ Gala used to be a renowned event in Capital city. In the blink of an eye, it had turned into a scandalous affair.

It was indeed a very fine line between heaven and hell.

In just a short period of time, the Boya Pavilion no longer held a high status within Capital city. The impeccable name cultivated by its owner over so many years was destroyed.

“Are these supposed to be the gracious and refined ladies of high society? Haha! What a joke!”

“If the Boya Pavilion owner is not just seeking personal gains, why is she making such a big deal about the Heiress’ Gala? It has been claimed that she stays aloof from worldly affairs—it looks like that’s a completely undeserving reputation.”

“The owner of the Boya Pavilion has been making use of the Heiress’ Gala to gather connections and influence for herself. So many reigning Madams from the many prestigious families have had their debuts at the Heiress’ Gala. Who would dare to speak out against the Boya Pavilion?”

“Parliament will be held soon. The Boya Pavilion is purposely holding the Heiress’ Gala now to stir up Capital city. What is her true purpose?”

…

As the Boya Pavilion owner read a fresh new piece of criticism, her pupils narrowed and her face dimmed.

After the Heiress’ Gala ended, the media was flooded with news on the Boya Pavilion. At first, it had only been a few of Wen Xinya’s fans fussing online, and she had taken none of their comments to heart. Who knew that things would spiral out of control in just the blink of an eye?

The netizens’ disappointment toward the Heiress’ Gala and their displeasure toward the Boya Pavilion had turned into a vicious onslaught against her name. By the time she started taking countermeasures, the rumors swirling online were already totally out of control.

She would be a fool if she still hadn’t realized by this point that it must be Wen Xinya who was behind this online assault.

“Madam, what should we do now? With all these scandalous rumors miring the Boya Pavilion, we can no longer interfere with the upcoming Parliament. I am afraid our plan to make use of the Heiress’ Gala to stir up Capital city and take the opportunity to expand the Xiao Corporation and Li Corporation’s influence will come to naught.”

The person who was speaking was none other than Jiang Kelan, who had previously interacted with Wen Xinya. If Wen Xinya was around, she would definitely have recognized her. She was the shadowy figure who had flashed by the garden during the previous Heiress’ Gala.

The Boya Pavilion owner gently fingered the prayer beads in her hand exuding a chilly aura. “I have underestimated Wen Xinya. I never knew she was such a petty and vengeful person. I made use of her to hype up the Heiress’ Gala, but she has managed to beat me at my own game—making use of the gala to rake up all these dirty rumors and implicating the entire Boya Pavilion.”

The Boya Pavilion owner felt her chest constrict and had difficulty breathing as she thought of how her meticulously-planned scheme had completely backfired.

She also thought about how Wen Xinya had destroyed her grand reputation, carefully cultivated over so many years. She started coughing violently.

Following that, she recalled how she had given Wen Xinya that Ru porcelain tea set in hopes of placating her, but all she got in return was Wen Xinya’s vicious backlash.
