Zhong Rufeng took her away, and Wen Xinya said quickly: "You go and do your thing! I'll go to the food area to eat something by myself."
Before Zhong Rufeng could answer, Wen Xinya couldn't wait to leave.
Wen Xinya had noticed that the snacks at the banquet were quite exquisite, so she wanted to try them early in the morning. She took the food plate, picked out the snacks she liked, and soon filled the plate.
At this time, two girls walked towards this side. Wen Xinya was immediately happy when she saw them. They were Jiang Ruoyin and Xia Ruya.
They say that enemies often meet on a narrow road, and it is absolutely true.
She didn't expect that Xia Ruya could even get into the Zhong family. It seems that she still underestimated Xia Ruya.
Xia Ruya quickly pulled Jiang Ruoyin over to greet Wen Xinya: "Xinya, I didn't expect you to come to Grandpa Zhong's birthday party today."
There was jealousy, resentment and anger hidden deep in Xia Ruya's eyes. She thought of the time when she was surrounded by people, receiving praise from Grandpa Zhong and admiring looks from everyone. At that moment, she suddenly realized that Wen Xinya, whom she had always looked down upon, had actually grown to this point.
No, she couldn't let her continue to grow, she had to nip her growth in the bud. Otherwise, once the introduction dinner was held, it would be difficult to shake her position as the eldest daughter and heir of the Wen family.
Wen Xinya raised the corners of her lips, with a cold look of contempt in her eyes: "You didn't expect it? Stop being pretentious. Don't you know that Grandpa Zhong and my grandfather are good friends? If you didn't get to know Grandpa Zhong through my grandfather, would you be here today?"
Xia Ruya's expression froze, and the blood color on her delicate face faded slightly. With a touch of pale red on her face, she looked unusually beautiful: "I... I came here with Uncle Wen and Aunt Ning today."
What she meant was that she didn't come here today in the name of Mr. Mo, and Wen Xin had wronged her.
Wen Xinya was stunned. She didn't expect that Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian would also come. Logically speaking, a family of scholars like the Zhong family would not look down on Wen Haowen's reputation. Why would they invite Wen Haowen
Then she thought of Xia Ruya's social skills. She must have been the one who went the way. After she returned to the Wen family in her previous life, she knew that there was another most important reason why Xia Ruya was valued so much by the Wen family. That was Xia Ruya's powerful social skills, which allowed the Wen family to be adept in the social circle and gain many benefits for the Wen family. She had been raised by his side for twelve years, but she knew how to be grateful and always considered the interests of the Wen family. No wonder she caught the eye of her grandfather. In her grandfather's eyes, nothing was more important than the interests of the Wen family.
Xia Ruya looked at her uncertain expression, lowered her head in grievance and said: "Xinya, I know I shouldn't attend the banquet with Uncle Wen, but Uncle Wen insisted that I come with him, and I couldn't refuse. You..."
Wen Xinya interrupted her coldly, "My dad is really something. He brought an illegitimate daughter to attend Grandpa Zhong's birthday party. The Zhong family is a family of scholars and they value a clean family tradition the most. Isn't this just tarnishing their reputation?"
After hearing this, Xia Ruya's pale face turned transparently white. She staggered back a step, her shaky body almost unable to stand. She moved her lips to say something, but her trembling lips silently resisted her words.
Jiang Ruoyin pulled Xia Ruya behind her and said, "Enough, Wen Xinya! Ruya has lived with Uncle Wen and Aunt Ning for so many years. Their relationship is much stronger than yours, a daughter who appeared out of nowhere. Why can't she come to the party with Uncle Wen and Aunt Ning? You are obviously jealous of Ruya's good relationship with them! You are jealous that even if Ruya is not the daughter of the Wen family, she can still be loved by Uncle Wen and Aunt Ning. This is something you can't get no matter how hard you try."
Xia Ruya hid behind Jiang Ruoyin, revealing half of her body. She lowered her head and trembled her shoulders. She sobbed softly. When she heard Jiang Ruoyin's words, she raised her head in disbelief and looked at Wen Xinya. Her eyes were wet with tears and her eyelashes were stained with water. She looked fresh and moving like a lotus flower after rain. "Xinya, is what Ruoyin said true? Do you really think so?"
"What's the use of my dad loving me? Will he give the Wen family's property to outsiders? Do you think I would be jealous because of such a boring thing? Ha... That's ridiculous. What I have now is what Xia Ruya can never have." If it were in the previous life, Jiang Ruoyin's words would be true, but in this life, she knew Ning Shuqian's greed and viciousness, and Wen Haowen's indifference, and she no longer had any expectations or fantasies about them.
Xia Ruya's face was pale and gloomy, her body staggered and she almost fell to the ground. Her pale face was bloodless and transparent, and was covered with cold sweat stains.
"Wen Xinya, don't go too far." Jiang Ruoyin suddenly stepped forward angrily, but she tripped over something and fell towards Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya was startled and subconsciously dodged to the side. Although she avoided Jiang Ruoyin's pounce, her arm hit the lamp stand beside her. She felt a numbness and pain, and the handbag in her hand fell to the ground.
But Jiang Ruoyin was not so lucky. She fell to the ground and cried out in pain: "Ah... It hurts!"
Xia Ruya finally reacted, and quickly went up to pick up Wen Xinya's handbag and handed it to Wen Xinya, then helped Jiang Ruoyin up: "Ruoyin, are you okay?"
Jiang Ruoyin held back her tears and shook her head: "It's okay!"
But whenever she thought about the last time at Zhou Tianyu's banquet, when she fell to the ground in the same way and looked so miserable, she couldn't help but feel angry and resentful. Both times she was embarrassed because of that bitch Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya frowned slightly and hugged her still numb arm. She couldn't help but cursed her bad luck, then turned around and left the banquet, walking towards the bathroom.
Jiang Ruoyin's pain subsided. Thinking back to when she fell to the ground and her left hand seemed to have hit a lamp post, she couldn't help but exclaimed in panic, "Ah! My watch!"
Xia Ruya asked quickly: "What's wrong? Is your watch broken?"
Her eyes fell nervously on the watch on Jiang Ruoyin's left wrist. It was the most classic style of Vacheron Constantin. The exquisitely polished crystal watch was inlaid with pure and deep sapphires, and the finely crafted strap showed its elegant charm in a subtle and elegant way.
Among Swiss famous watches, her favorite brand is Vacheron Constantin, because every finished product of Vacheron Constantin has to go through several years of refinement to show the perfection of meticulous craftsmanship.
Among the Vacheron Constantin brand, her favorite is the one on Jiang Ruoyin’s wrist. It is delicate, elegant, profound and beautiful, which is fully displayed in this watch.
Jiang Ruoyin quickly checked the watch on her wrist. Seeing the intricately carved scale on the watch beating one by one, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, it's not broken. This watch was given to me by my father. It's worth more than five million. If it was broken, it would have to be sent to the original factory in Switzerland for repair."
Xia Ruya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that it's not broken!"
