Yan Menglu has always been successful, so how could she possibly apologize to others? She glared at Wen Xinya fiercely: "Wen Xinya, you..." Dream on!
She was the daughter of the Yan family, the recognized little princess of the Yan family. It was always others who apologized to her. When was it her turn to apologize to others? Who was Wen Xinya? Would she dare to accept her apology? Could she afford it? She was not afraid of humiliating herself. Who was Xia Ruya? How dare she ask her to apologize to others? She just saw that Xia Ruya was quite scheming and had an old grudge with Wen Xinya, so she kept her by her side to deal with Wen Xinya.
When Xia Ruya saw Yan Menglu, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire. She quietly pulled Yan Menglu's arm and shook her head at her secretly.
If Yan Menglu showed weakness because of Xia Ruya's ambiguous hint, then she would not be Yan Menglu. She looked at Xia Ruya with a sinister warning.
Of course, these two people were openly flirting with each other in front of Wen Xinya. Wen Xinya was not blind, so how could she not see it? She laughed, and her laugh was quite ostentatious, even arrogant: "Ms. Yan, you haven't figured out the situation yet! Why don't you ask Miss Xia next to you for advice?"
It's okay to say some things, but saying some things will make you an enemy. Mom has passed away, and the dead are gone. It is wrong for Yan Menglu to openly use the deceased's name and speak arrogantly and viciously. What's more, in her heart, mom is her taboo.
Xia Ruya rushed to speak before Yan Menglu, "Miss Wen, what happened today was caused by Lulu and I speaking out of turn. I will ask the elders in my family to apologize to Mr. Mo someday."
She didn't take Wen Xinya seriously, and she was not afraid even if she plotted against her.
But Yan Menglu chose to insult the dead. The name Mo Yunyao is not only a taboo in the Wen family, but also a taboo in the Mo family. If a dragon has a reverse scale, it will be hurt if it is touched. If Yan Menglu does not bow her head today, Wen Wenya intends to make a big deal out of this matter. Mr. Mo is a scholar who pays most attention to the etiquette of saints. He will definitely not let it go when the time comes.
It's gone too far. Neither the Yan family nor the Li family will benefit.
Wen Xinya glanced at Yan Menglu with a half-smile, and asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with my grandfather? Besides, the person who insulted my mother was Miss Yan, so what does she have to do with Miss Xia?"
Wen Xinya knew that Xia Ruya was afraid of her grandfather, so she pretended to be confused.
Xia Ruya looked embarrassed. She gently pulled Yan Menglu and said, "Lulu, Aunt Mo is gone. The dead are gone. As the younger generation, even if we have some quarrels, we should not involve the elders. Besides, you studied jewelry design, and Aunt Mo is a pioneer in jewelry design. What you said just now was indeed quite inappropriate."
Yan Menglu is not a fool after all. She just grew up in Hong Kong City and is not so sensitive to Mo Gong's reputation. She even forgot that Wen Xinya has a grandfather who is a respected literary scholar. At this time, when Xia Ruya openly mentioned the name Mo Gong, she reacted immediately.
When she came to the capital, the elders in her family told her that there are three people in the capital who should not be provoked, one of which is Mr. Mo. Although she did not understand what it meant, she had learned the skills of house fighting over the past decade and was therefore required to obey the orders of her elders.
Her face turned pale, and she finally suppressed the anger in her brows and said reluctantly, "It was me who was rude just now."
Wen Xinya slowly took the hand that was pinching her cheek away and gently stroked her face. There were bruises on her face. "I'm so sorry. I was so angry just now that I didn't use any gentle force."
Yan Menglu was so angry that she almost vomited blood, but she dared not say anything. That's how people are. Once their momentum is suppressed by others, it is impossible for them to fight back in a short period of time.
Wen Xinya clapped her hands gently, slowly took two steps back, turned around and prepared to leave.
Yan Menglu felt proud.
However, Wen Xinya just took a step forward and suddenly turned around. She pointed to her cheek and said, "I'm so sorry. I accidentally ruined your makeup."
All the anger in Yan Menglu's chest exploded in her body, and she was shaking with anger.
Looking at Wen Xinya's leaving back, I felt so angry that my teeth were itching.
Xia Ruya quickly comforted her: "Lulu, don't be angry."
Yan Menglu waved away Xia Ruya's outstretched hand and said in a harsh voice, "Tell me, what is so special about Mr. Mo?"
Xia Ruya knew that she had suffered a loss at the hands of Wen Xinya today, and she was upset, so she explained to her: "Mr. Mo is not special, but he is highly respected and admired. Who in the world does not admire him? He has many students all over the world. The students he taught are spread across the military, politics, literature, business and entertainment circles. Who doesn't fear him? Why do you think Wen Xinya, a young lady of the Wen family, can be so famous in the capital, where there are many talented people? Isn't it because of her reputation as Mr. Mo's granddaughter?"
"Is he really that powerful?" Yan Menglu was a little bit unbelievable. People in Gangcheng worship the strong in their bones. In that city with unprecedentedly developed economy, being rich and powerful means nothing. Influential literati like this are the ones who are truly respected.
Xia Ruya laughed, "Yeah! Very impressive. Ninety percent of the people in Hong Kong's upper class are familiar with Mr. Mo, and are willing to give him some face. You can go back and ask your grandfather about this."
As soon as Yan Menglu heard it, she understood the crux of the matter. The families in Hong Kong City did not get along peacefully with each other. They maintained superficial favors, but competed fiercely behind the scenes, and even used all kinds of shady means. This Mr. Mo was so influential in the upper class circles of Hong Kong City. Did it prove that if the Yan family offended Mr. Mo and Mr. Mo intended to suppress the Yan family, would 90% of the famous families in Hong Kong City give him face
Although the Yan family is powerful, they cannot withstand this pincer attack.
Yan Menglu finally understood why her grandfather had specifically told her before she left not to provoke the three most troubled people in the capital.
Yan Menglu's heart began to beat wildly: "Then Wen Xinya, we..."
Wen Xinya is Mr. Mo’s granddaughter. If they offend Wen Xinya like this, will it anger Mr. Mo
Xia Ruya knew what she meant, and smiled to comfort her, "Don't worry, Mr. Mo is a great scholar of the time, and he acts with integrity and principles. As an elder, how can he interfere in the affairs of the younger generation? Today you insulted his daughter, which is not in accordance with etiquette. I was also afraid that Wen Xinya would find fault with this, and it would be bad if Mr. Mo misunderstood."
The more respected a scholar is, the more he cares about his reputation and character, so she dared to deal with Wen Xinya so blatantly without having to consider Mr. Mo. But Mo Yunyao is a different matter. Dead people need to be protected even more, even at the cost of face.
Yan Menglu breathed a sigh of relief: "Ruya, this time, it's all thanks to you."
If, because of those insulting words to Mo Yunyao today, she really offended Mr. Mo and brought crisis to the Yan family, she would be the sinner of the Yan family and the Yan family would definitely not let her off easily.
That was a close call!
It seems that the capital city is not a place that is easy to deal with. You have to be more cautious when doing things in the capital city in the future.
