Chapter 1228 - The Winner of the Heiress’ Gala (1/2)

Wen Xinya was not at all surprised since the gala was Xia Ruya’s chance to make a comeback. Besides, she had the support of the host, which gave her confidence.

Although the host was no longer as famous as she used to be, she still commanded great respect in the upper-class society. In fact, she was even more senior than Zhou Huiyan and Tang Xiaowei. When she was at the peak of her fame in Capital city, Zhou Huiyan and Tang Xiaowei were barely famous.

The two of them had also shot to fame and build a name for themselves because they had joined the Heiress’ Gala. Hence, their success was related to the owner of the Boya Pavilion.

In recent years, there had been plenty of women who gained fame and reputation because of the Heiress’ Gala and hence, owed the owner of Boya Pavilion a huge favor. As a result, she had a wide network of connections in the upper-class society of Capital city.

Since the owner and the judges had all spoken highly of floral tea and praised Xia Ruya, the latter was halfway done with her plan to clear her name.

Wen Xinya reckoned that the rest of her plan had something to do with her.

To be exact, it could very likely have something to do with the tea and snakes that she had consumed.

The heiresses began actively discussing about floral tea and expressing their opinions of it, as well as their interest in picking up the skill. After Xia Ruya returned to her seat, the heiresses beside her immediately began chatting with her too.

Wen Xinya previously noticed that Xia Ruya had never once interacted with anyone before she performed the techniques of brewing floral tea. The ladies beside her did not bother looking at her, either.

After a moment of silence, the owner of Boya Pavilion, who was also the host, said smilingly, “The ladies have showcased a plethora of talents and skills during the various showdowns and performances during the gala today. Everyone has their own strengths, be it in music, chess, calligraphy, painting or brewing tea. It’s my utmost honor to have been able to host such an extravagant event.”

Everyone then knew that the gala was coming to an end.

The owner continued, “Miss Xia’s performance will give this year’s Heiress’ Gala a perfect closure. Next, we’ll be announcing the winner of this year’s gala. I believe you have all made your choices.”

Ye Feiyu exclaimed, “Wen Xinya!”

Next, a few others chimed in. “The title belongs to Wen Xinya!”

The roars got everyone excited as more and more people began to yell Wen Xinya’s name.

No one expected that to happen, including Xia Ruya and the host. Xia Ruya’s face turned extremely gloomy and sullen.

Ye Feiyu had intentionally yelled Wen Xinya’s name out loud. The host and the judges were obviously out to put Xia Ruya on a pedestal while Lin Yingxin and Xia Ruya played along with each other to pique everyone’s interest in floral tea, thus allowing Xia Ruya to receive a ton of attention all of a sudden. She even ended up stealing Wen Xinya’s limelight.

Hence, Ye Feiyu decided to take the lead and shift everyone’s attention back onto Wen Xinya.

The genuinely talented people were the ones who were worth paying attention to.

She was also confident that everyone would be influenced by her.
