Although Ning Shuqian concealed her emotions very well, Xia Ruya saw it. Her eyes flickered and she smiled: "I heard that Yuya has a great talent for jewelry design. I'm really happy for her."
When talking about this, Ning Shuqian smiled: "I heard her brag about it herself. She was just praised by the teacher a few times, and she became so proud of herself. She really doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
Her words were quite sarcastic, and when she thought about some recent rumors about Wen Xinya in the capital, Xia Ruya understood that Ning Shuqian was just making indirect accusations.
She also cleverly agreed: "Yuyan is really talented."
Ning Yuya is really talented, but it’s hard to say about others.
Sure enough, these words made Ning Shuqian feel very relieved: "Don't praise her too much, lest she become proud and complacent."
Xia Ruya laughed: "Aunt Ning, you are too strict with Yuya."
Although Ning Shuqian was smiling, her eyes were filled with gloom. She held Xia Ruya's hand and asked with concern, "Ruya, I didn't expect you to have such good fortune. You have become the only heir of the Li family. Your status is much more noble than Wen Xinya's."
When she had talked to Xia Ruya on the phone before, she had already learned the whole story from her. She was shocked. She didn't expect Xia Ruya to be so lucky and her true identity was so full of twists and turns.
The Li family is wealthy and powerful, but their children are even rarer than those of the Wen family. As soon as Ruya returned to the Li family, she was valued by the Li family. Isn't she much luckier than Wen Xinya
When Xia Ruya mentioned this, she was full of emotion. "Speaking of this, I have to thank Aunt Ning. If you hadn't helped me escape from the capital and go to Hong Kong, I'm afraid I would never know my true life experience, let alone meet my great grandfather."
Xia Ruya looked at Ning Shuqian, her face full of sincere gratitude.
When Ning Shuqian mentioned the past, her eyes flickered. To be honest, she just did nothing at that time. "Why are you thanking me? You were ruined by that little bitch Wen Xinya and lost everything. You had no reputation left. You couldn't stay in Beijing. If I didn't help you, who else could? I was hoping for your best."
Xia Ruya was very moved. She held Ning Shuqian's hand and choked with sobs, unable to speak.
Ning Shuqian patted her arm, her eyes were extremely gentle: "Ruya, I have watched you grow up since you were a child. Now you have become the only heir of the Li family. Why don't you stay in Hong Kong to study, but return to Beijing to study? I heard that Hong Kong has several good universities, which are also quite famous in the world."
If she stayed in Gangcheng, she would have the opportunity to take over the Li Group as soon as possible and truly control the Li Group in her hands. She didn't believe that Ruya didn't have such ambition. The Li family agreed to let her come to Beijing to study. Could it be that they haven't fully recognized her identity
She did not forget that when Wen Wenya was first brought back to the Wen family, the Wen family tried every means to send Wen Wenya abroad. In the end, Wen Wenya had to ask to stay at her grandfather's house for a while, which calmed the storm.
"Aunt Ning, I don't want to say anything else, but you should be very clear about my suffering." Xia Ruya could guess Ning Shuqian's thoughts to some extent, and became secretly alert. Ning Shuqian was actually much smarter than before. She lowered her head, a little sad.
When she returned to the capital, she naturally wanted to get up from where she fell, but more importantly, the situation of the Li Group was not very good. Her great-grandfather was old and power was falling into others' hands. The internal struggle of the Li Group was fierce and the situation was complicated. It was impossible for her to intervene in the Li Group in a short period of time, let alone control the Li Group.
Since she couldn't get in with the Li family's gang for the time being, it would be better for her not to go and wait for the right opportunity.
Her departure to the capital seemed to be a disadvantageous decision for her, but Great Grandfather knew it clearly in his mind, so he would definitely strengthen the control over the Li Group. In this way, the conflicts within the Li Group would inevitably intensify, and everyone would point the finger at her. Her departure to the capital avoided unnecessary trouble, and this move was a retreat to advance.
Ning Shuqian looked at him with a gloomy look and sighed, "Of course I know how bitter you feel. I'm just worried that you'll be wronged after returning to the Li family, so I asked you this."
She knew the grudge between Ruya and Wen Xinya better than anyone else. It would have been fine if Wen Xinya had left Ruya penniless, but she also caused Ruya to flee the capital like a stray dog. Not to mention Ruya, no one else would let it go easily.
Xia Ruya raised her head, her face still a little pale: "Grandpa treats me very well!"
Ning Shuqian nodded and changed the subject: "I heard from Yuya that you are going to attend the Qianjin Banquet, what's going on?"
The Thousand Gold Banquet is not an ordinary gathering. Although it is not well-known in the capital, it does not mean that everyone does not attach importance to it. The meaning behind the Thousand Gold Banquet is known to almost everyone in the upper class and those famous families.
It was a pity that Yuya had no talent to show off and was addicted to drugs, but Xia Ruya was very happy that she could attend the Qianjin Banquet.
Xia Ruya smiled and said, "I was invited by a senior from our school. I don't have any talent to show off, except for tea art, which is just barely acceptable!"
Wen Xinya's good show is about to begin, so how can she not be there? She has established a connection with Lin Yingxin, so it is easy for her to attend the banquet.
Ning Shuqian frowned slightly and asked, "I heard that Lian Wenya was also invited."
Speaking of Wen Xinya, Ning Shuqian's face wasn't very good. Ever since the "elegant" fashion trend made Wen Xinya the theme character, her image has begun to turn positive. She used to be a wanderer and hang around on the streets, but now people call her inspirational. Words like "metamorphosis from cocoon to butterfly", "transfiguration into phoenix", "stunning counterattack" and so on have become her synonyms.
The name of the "Elegant" fashion magazine is deeply rooted in people's hearts, so the interviews with warm and elegant theme figures of the "Elegant" fashion magazine have also been sought after and made everyone believe in it.
It seemed as if all of Wen Xinya’s unbearable past was whitewashed in an instant, allowing people to see the positive energy and the beautiful side.
Now, Wen Xinya is going to attend the banquet for a wealthy man again. If she stands out at the banquet, she will probably be in the limelight again.
Xia Ruya looked at her expression and smiled in an ambiguous way: "Wen Xinya is Mr. Mo's granddaughter after all. As soon as she returned to the Wen family, she was taught by Mr. Mo. It is legitimate for her to attend the Qianjin Banquet. Besides... some of the rumors about her in the circle recently can only be redeemed by the Qianjin Banquet."
Ning Shuqian was so smart that she understood Xia Ruya's hidden meaning immediately. Then she thought about the recent rumors about Wen Xinya in the circle, which were vaguely related to Ruya. Combined with her words, she naturally understood that this banquet worth thousands of gold was not a good place to go.
She couldn't help but laugh: "I'm beginning to look forward to the Qianjin Banquet."
