Growing up, Xia Ruya rarely liked one thing purely, and scented tea happened to be something she simply liked. Although she had some utilitarian thoughts when she learned to brew scented tea in the past, the more she came into contact with it, the more she was attracted by the elegance and uniqueness, simplicity and grace of scented tea, and she began to study it with all her heart.
Xia Ruya sipped the scented tea in the porcelain bowl elegantly. The rich aroma filled her lips and teeth, leaving her with an endless aftertaste.
Tomorrow is the banquet worth a thousand gold coins, and the real show is finally about to begin. She has been planning for a long time and can't wait for tomorrow to come.
The Qianjin Banquet was just a trap set up by her and Lin Yingxin.
It was a trap set for Wen Xinya. No matter how smart Wen Xinya was, even if she had thought of her plan and knew Lin Yingxin's thoughts, she might not be able to guess the trap set by the two of them.
She and Lin Yingxin hit it off right away, one seeking revenge for a personal grudge, the other for fame and fortune.
Lin Yingxin, this woman, seems gentle and docile, but in fact, no one knows how big her ambition is. She gave up the little influence of the Lin family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and went north alone to study. She planned painstakingly and climbed up step by step. She was known as a talented woman, but she was not satisfied.
The fame she wanted was to be known as a talented woman on par with Mo Yunyao back then.
The appearance of Wen Xinya gave her this ambition and opportunity.
They have been planning for many days, and even dragged Yan Menglu into the trap. Now everything is ready, except for the east wind. They just need to wait for Wen Xinya to return empty-handed at the Qianjin Banquet and lose all her reputation. With the reputation that she and Lin Xinying have created for her, Wen Xinya will be confirmed. She will have a reputation that she has gained in vain by wooing popularity. Let's see if she will have the face to gain a foothold in the circle in the future, and there will be no place for her in Jingcheng University.
Teacher Ji Shihan pays the most attention to the character of her students. With Wen Xinya's character, Ji Shihan would not want such a student to inherit her mantle even if she took into account the friendship with her long-dead friend. Yan Menglu, who is equally talented as Wen Xinya, has an opportunity to take advantage of.
Lin Yingxin achieved her wish and defeated the granddaughter taught by Mr. Mo himself. She will become the focus of attention of all the famous families and wealthy families in Beijing. Then, her wish to marry into a top family will naturally come true.
Look, with just one plan, all three of them achieved their goals.
Ning Shuqian saw her sipping tea seriously, with a sincere smile on her face, and a proud look on her beautiful face: "Xinya, how about the jasmine tea I brewed?"
Xia Ruya's smile did not fade. She lowered her head to take a look at the jasmine flower that had sunk to the bottom of the cup and bowl. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Very good. Aunt Ning has only learned it for a few days, but she has such skills. It's really amazing."
Jasmine tea is the most common type of scented tea, but she loves jasmine the most. A truly good tea-making technique is one that can ensure that the scented tea does not sink to the bottom of the cup for a long time.
However, Ning Shuqian's tea making skills were very crude. The flowers had sunk to the bottom of the cup after only one or two minutes of brewing.
Ning Shuqian raised her eyebrows slightly. She also liked the elegance of scented tea very much. "I can never compare to you. I envy your skills in making scented tea."
Ever since she learned how to make scented tea, Ning Shuqian has used this skill to show off in some noble occasions, and received a lot of praise, which made her feel a little flattered. Even Wen Haowen praised her.
Xia Ruya took another sip of tea and put down the tea in her hand. The light tea flavor lingered on the tip of her tongue. The rich fragrance just now was just an illusion.
Xia Ruya changed the subject and asked, "Aunt Ning, it's been so long since I came back to the capital, and I'm just now coming to see you. You won't mind, right?"
Before leaving the capital, Ning Shuqian was just a useless person. It was after she discovered the changes in Ning Shuqian that she began to feel a little suspicious. Later, she had no choice but to ask Ning Shuqian for help and asked her to help her escape from the capital.
Unexpectedly, Ning Shuqian really did it!
It was not until that moment that she realized that Ning Shuqian was the one who should not be underestimated.
After returning to the capital, she hesitated whether to meet Ning Shuqian. After all... Ning Shuqian's help made her alert. She always felt that Ning Shuqian had escaped her control and had become something she knew nothing about. Such a person was not easy to provoke. If you were not careful, you would be doomed.
However, the power behind Ning Shuqian made her very excited. No matter how wealthy the Li family was, they were in Hong Kong City, which was beyond her reach. No matter how noble her status was, she had just returned to the Li family after all. It was a pipe dream to want to control the Li family easily.
She came to the capital to deal with Wen Xinya and even the entire Wen family. Since the Li family was useless, she had to set her sights on Ning Shuqian. She believed that if she used her properly, Ning Shuqian would definitely help her fulfill her wish.
So, she couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she used some tricks to keep her relationship with Ning Shuqian hanging.
It was not until today that she made up her mind to come and find Ning Shuqian.
Ning Shuqian laughed: "Ruya, what are you talking about? I know you have your difficulties, as long as you still care about me in your heart, I will be very happy."
She has always liked Ruya. On the one hand, they have a common enemy, and on the other hand, Ruya is really sincere to her and her mother. When she and her mother were down and out, she did not change her ways like others. Now that Xia Ruya has become the heir of the Li family in Gangcheng, her status is naturally different from before, so she will naturally try her best to make friends with her.
Xia Ruya held her hand, her expression touched: "Aunt Ning, I know you treat me the best. By the way...how is Yuya? I have been back for so long, and I have only talked to Yuya on the phone for a few days. I haven't seen her yet."
Speaking of Ning Yuya, Ning Shuqian's expression was slightly stiff, but it only lasted for a moment before she returned to normal: "This child is very wild. I haven't seen her for several days. I heard that she has been very busy with her studies recently. I don't know if it's true."
Yuya has successfully entered Qingyuan University and studied jewelry design. She is quite talented in jewelry design, which makes her very happy. She heard that Wen Xinya has a very high talent for jewelry design, so she naturally wants Yuya to surpass her. So she spent a lot of money to invite a well-known jewelry design master to teach Yuya, and also enrolled Yuya in a cram school. Although Yuya is also studying hard, but...
Because of her drug addiction, she still often hangs out in shady places and gets entangled with shady men, which makes her very disappointed and painful.
Yuya is her only child!
