Chapter 752 - Xia Ruya’s Tolerance (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Due to the recent scandal that Wen Haowen was embroiled in as well as Wen Xinya’s abduction, the news of Xia Ruya being a vicious woman had begun to die down. She was rather intelligent to take advantage of it as well.

Xia Ruya had taken the Wen Family’s money and severed all ties with them. However, she had lost the clout of being the Wen Family’s daughter and was living just like a commoner. She became a third-class citizen who was just waiting to eat, sleep and die! Every single day, she stood on the streets and watched the pedestrians walk past her. Whenever she saw them, she would start comparing herself to them!

However, she pathetically realized that she was no different from those people.

Even though she was dressed in designer clothing from head to toe, accompanied by exorbitant jewelry, only a few people could tell that she was wearing expensive apparel and she seemed to blend in dully with the crowd.

Is this really the life I want?

She repeatedly asked herself that question.

Her inner demon seemed to be yelling, “This is not the life I want! I was born to be the subject of envy of everyone else, the princess that everyone wants to be. I should be standing on the peak of the pyramid of life!”

She did not want to be like those ants, slogging away from nine to five for the sake of a meager amount of salary to make ends meet. She did not want to be dressed in cheap clothing, wear unsightly jewelry. She did not want to be bossed around and be at someone else’s beck and call.

I am the brightest shining pearl and only I can be in control of someone else’s life. My life shall never be controlled by others.

Not even Wen Xinya!

Yes, not even Wen Xinya!

Xia Ruya looked rather calm while trying to suppress her maniacal emotions.

She knew that it was not the best time to deal with Wen Xinya now. She had previously tried to deal with Wen Xinya using those abductors. Yet, Wen Xinya’s time was not up yet and she managed to survive the ordeal. Fortunately, Xia Ruya was not implicated. Later on, she colluded with Ning Shuqian in a bid to use the media to ruin Wen Xinya’s reputation by releasing the information about the abduction to the media. However, Xu Zhenyu ended up sabotaging their plan.

Everything made her realize that she was no longer the same Xia Ruya whom she used to be. Now that she had nothing to her name, she was no match for Wen Xinya at all.

Hence, she quietened down.

She looked on coldly and watched the events play out after Ning Shuqian plotted against Wen Haowen. She was secretly thrilled that Ning Shuqian had managed to keep her status as Madam Wen… Ning Shuqian was indeed very scheming and Xia Ruya was certain that she could use Ning Shuqian to deal with Wen Xinya, so long as Ning Shuqian remained in the Wen Family home.

As Xia Ruya visited Ning Shuqian at the hospital with some fruits, she ran into Ning Yuya outside the ward.

Delighted to see Xia Ruya, Ning Yuya asked, “Ruya, what brings you here?”

There were still some reporters camping outside the hospital. Given how sensitive Xia Ruya’s status was, it was rather inconvenient for her to show up in front of the media. Yet, she actually braved through the odds and showed up at the hospital to visit Ning Shuqian, making Ning Yuya feel extremely touched.

Appearing a little upset, Xia Ruya answered, “I’m here to see Aunt Ning, of course. I’m very sorry… about what happened with Uncle Wen. I didn’t expect that Aunt Ning would get so agitated. Yuya, I’m sorry!”

She had gone through painstaking means to avoid the reporters.

At the mention of Ning Shuqian, a sullen expression formed on Ning Yuya’s face and she said, “Ruya, this is not your fault. Wen Haowen’s extramarital affair sparked such a major outrage and it’s only a matter of time before my mother finds out. Don’t hold it against yourself.”
