Chapter 1130 - Even the Powerful Can’t Defeat a Local Villain (1/2)

The unbearable warmth of the sun made Xia Ruya feel like she was being baked in an oven. Beads of perspiration trickled down her forehead and dripped into her eyes, causing there to be a stinging pain in her eyes.

Xia Ruya remained standing quietly while watching Wen Xinya, who was dressed in a mint green-collared shirt and white cropped pants. She looked youthful and captivating beneath the sun.

Wen Xinya would perpetually remain composed as if nothing could faze her at all. She would forever keep her back straight and hold her head high, despite having a shameful past which she somehow did not feel bothered by. But… she’s just a shameless person, Xia Ruya thought.

I used to be the Wen Family’s beloved daughter and an esteemed heiress. I’ve always been that way, be it when I was living with the Wen Family, or when I was the illegitimate daughter of the Xia Family. Even now, I’m still an elegant and noble heiress of the wealthy Li Family.

But, why am I not as calm and confident as Wen Xinya?

Could it be because of her filthy past that she has somehow managed to conceal perfectly?

Xia Ruya suddenly felt parched and giddy while sudden stuffiness filled her chest. Next, she was overwhelmed with a wave of nausea.

She staggered forwards!

Mother Yang hurriedly rushed forward to hold her. “Missy, are you feeling unwell?”

That Wen Xinya is arrogant and overbearing. Missy is so kindhearted. She’s obviously no match for Wen Xinya, so of course she’d feel uncomfortable.

Xia Ruya’s panted heavily and her head began to feel heavy too. She subconsciously shook her head and said feebly, “Mother Yang, don’t worry. I’m alright. I just feel a little giddy.”

She had always been in poor health and her condition only improved slightly after she took care of it when living with the Wen Family. However, after she got raped, she continuously fell ill for more than a month and her body seemed to have crumbled all of a sudden. Her illness debilitated and her immune system became weaker too. Once she fell ill, she would take a long and hard time to recover.

“Missy, you’ve already become so pale. Yet, you still say that you’re alright,” said Uncle Yu, who noticed that she had turned as pale as a ghost. Her skin looked particularly fair and translucent under the sunlight, so much that her veins could be seen clearly. Uncle Yu could not help but feel a little flustered, for she was the only heir left of the Li Family whom Old Mr. Li treasured dearly. Hence, he could not afford to let her meet with any mishap.

Xia Ruya became increasingly pale and sweat droplets trickled down her face continuously.

Noticing how sickly she looked, Mother Yang hurriedly said, “Missy might be suffering a heatstroke. Hurry… let’s help her to a cooler place.”

Women were still much more meticulous compared to men, after all. Mother Yang immediately sensed that there was something amiss with Xia Ruya’s health. Xia Ruya was physically weak and she could not tolerate extreme temperatures at all. She was also very fragile and would feel uncomfortable after being exposed to the sun for a while.

Uncle Yu and Mother Yang helped Xia Ruya onto the cool bench, after which Mother Yang gave Xia Ruya some water and wiped her face with wet wipes. She then applied some cooling cream to help dispel the heat. Xia Ruya’s complexion finally became better.

Seeing that she had gotten better, Uncle Yu heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Missy, if you ever feel any discomfort, do inform us as soon as possible. Don’t put on a strong front. You’re Old Sir’s precious gem. He’s going to be so upset if he finds out.”

He sounded unnaturally concerned about her. Although she was clearly the only descendant left of the Li Family, she was still careful and humble towards them.
