There were less than twenty days left until her return introduction dinner. In her previous life, Wen Xinya had only attended a handful of formal banquets, let alone a banquet like this one that concerned the entire Wen Group, the entire media, and the entire upper class. She had not even held her coming-of-age ceremony at the age of eighteen.
Having lived two lives, she knows better than anyone how important this banquet is to her. The starting point of her life will begin from this banquet, and she will not allow any mistakes in this banquet which is related to her strong comeback.
So she asked her grandfather and grandfather to find many books on banquet etiquette for her.
At this time, Mother He ran to the backyard and whispered in her ear: "Miss, there are guests at home, you should be careful later."
Wen Xinya was startled. Maybe he came to see her because of her kidnapping! Why did He Ma ask her to be careful? "Who is coming?"
"It's your stepmother and stepsister, and the fake lady who occupied the Phoenix Nest before! Uncle Zhang said that they came here with bad intentions this time, so he asked me to inform you in advance so that you can be prepared." Mother He's tone was very bad.
Wen Xinya's face darkened. It was them. What were they going to do? "Aunt He, I know. They wouldn't dare to do anything in the Mo family."
Only then did Mother He feel relieved.
Wen Xinya walked into the small reception hall. Uncle Zhang was entertaining Ning Shuqian and others. Wen Xinya walked over quickly and pretended to be surprised and asked, "Aunt Ning, Yuya, Xia Ruya, why are you here?"
"I heard from your grandfather that you were kidnapped and were quite frightened, so I came to see you." She had just found out not long ago that this damn bitch was so lucky that she didn't get addicted to drugs. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel angry.
Ning Shuqian looked at Wen Xinya standing not far away in the living room. She was wearing a light blue long skirt. The pure and ethereal blue was covered with a thin white veil, just like the white clouds floating in the blue sky in autumn, elegant and graceful to the extreme. She had a huanghuali wooden hairpin on her head, and she looked so quaint, like a lady from an ancient noble family who had traveled through time and space!
A deep look flashed across Wen Xinya's eyes, and she smiled: "I'm fine, it was just a false alarm. I feel really bad for making Aunt Ning and the others go all the way here."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You've been in such trouble, I'm worried about you, so I have to come and see you to put my mind at ease." Ning Shuqian suddenly realized that Wen Xinya had shed her vulgarity and turned into a real daughter of a noble family. In just over two months, she had changed so much, and this discovery made her eyes flash with a hint of viciousness.
"That's right. I heard that my sister was kidnapped before, and I was so scared that I had nightmares for several nights. Now that I see that my sister is fine, I feel relieved." Wen Yuya walked to her side happily and took her arm, with deep resentment in her eyes. This bitch was actually fine. She was not injected with liquid drugs, and she was not injured anywhere. The hatred in her heart suddenly grew and extended like algae on the seabed, emitting a fishy green and black toxin. No matter what it was, it would die if it got entangled with it.
Xia Ruya quickly agreed: "Aunt Ning and Yuya are worried about you, and I feel uneasy too, so we made an appointment to come over to see you."
Wen Xinya pulled her arm away unnoticeably and led Ning Shuqian and others into the main living room.
Ning Shuqian then realized that the small hall was not the living room for them, but a small hall for welcoming guests. After entering the small hall, they had to wait and see whether the host was willing to see them.
Ning Shuqian's face looked a little ugly. It was her first time to come to the Mo family. She didn't expect that Mr. Mo would be so disrespectful to her. Not only did he let the servants receive her, but he also took her to the small hall.
Wen Xinya saw Ning Shuqian's expression and quickly explained to them, "Aunt Ning, you know that the Mo residence only has Grandpa as its owner. Grandpa's generation is there, and he is a great scholar of the time. Many people come to see him, so naturally he can't bring everyone into the main living room."
But he was laughing in his heart. Uncle Zhang is really a talented person. He actually thought of such a way to humiliate Ning Shuqian and others!
Ning Shuqian felt better after hearing this. After all, it was inappropriate to let Mr. Mo, an elder, come out to receive them. "Of course I understand."
Ning Shuqian and others then entered the main living room.
It was Ning Shuqian's first time to visit the Mo family. Although she tried her best to remain gentle and graceful, her wet eyes could not help but look around carefully, and there was a hint of fiery greed and shock in her eyes.
After all, Wen Yuya was young and didn't know the value of these things. She just thought that the furnishings of the Mo family were classical, so she was not as greedy and shocked as Ning Shuqian. However, she looked at the Mo family with a pair of straight eyes without any disguise, as if the Mo family was her home.
Xia Ruya's performance was much more noble, elegant and decent, but Wen Xinya still saw a flash of unwillingness in her eyes.
Wen Xinya took in all the expressions on their faces, and a flash of disdain flashed across her eyes: "Aunt Ning, don't just stand there, come and sit down!"
Ning Shuqian quickly smiled and said, "You were kidnapped before and were quite frightened. I specially brought you some blood bird's nest produced in Thailand's Roland Rock Mountain to nourish you."
Wen Xinya looked at the boxes of supplements on the coffee table. They were bought from the "Food Charity Hall". As expected, she spent a lot of money on them. "Thank you, Aunt Ning. I'm already very happy that you came to see me. Why did you bring anything with you?"
Wen Yuya said: "I have also prepared a gift for you, sister. It is a peace amulet that I specially went to Qingquan Temple to ask for. If you wear it, it will surely keep you safe and healthy." As she spoke, she took out a small sachet with exquisite embroidery and handed it to Wen Wenya.
This amulet was indeed obtained at Qingquan Temple, but it was not a lucky amulet, but an evil one. When she obtained it, she prayed very sincerely to the Buddha to protect Wen Xinya from choking to death when drinking water, falling to death when walking, choking to death when eating, or being hacked to death when going out...
Wen Xinya took it and said with deep emotion: "Yuya, you are so thoughtful."
Xia Ruya handed Wen Xinya an exquisite box and said with a smile, "Yuya and I went to Qingquan Temple together. Yuya asked for this amulet. I asked the master of Qingquan Temple to consecrate this jade so that it can ward off evil and remove filth."
She was not as naive as Wen Yuya, and she specially asked someone to draw a little ghost pattern on it. This piece of jade was really blessed by a master, but she never believed in these things, and it was still unclear whether it could work, so she did not do anything.
Wen Xinya took it gratefully: "Thank you!"
Ning Shuqian saw that the atmosphere had become very harmonious and couldn't help asking, "Before you were kidnapped, your grandfather was so anxious that his hair turned white. Later, when he heard that you were rescued, he was so happy that he forgot to thank the person who rescued you. Today, your grandfather specially asked me to come here to ask you who the person who rescued you was, so that our Wen family can thank him properly."
