At this time, the three people in the three-way confrontation finally tore off their hypocritical masks and began to show their claws. Although they showed the grace and bearing of their origins and maintained their nobility and elegance, the atmosphere was tit-for-tat.
Although Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin do not get along with each other, Wen Xinya has been better than them in terms of clothing since she appeared, and with Ye Feiyu's help, the two of them choose to temporarily put aside their past grudges and fight the foreign enemy together.
Therefore, their plan at this moment was just to suppress Wen Xinya in the verbal confrontation, so as to destroy Wen Xinya's prestige and save some face for themselves.
As a judge of this Qianjin Banquet and a well-known talent in the capital, Lin Yingxin would never let Wen Xinya steal the limelight and endure it.
And Xia Ruya hated Wen Xinya in her heart. She planned for Wen Xinya to attend the banquet just to embarrass her. How could she let her be in the limelight
"What are you talking about? It seems quite interesting." The sudden voice broke the tense atmosphere between the three people.
Wen Xinya looked at Du Ruoxin who suddenly appeared and couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Du Ruoxin's appearance is so beautiful, like a gorgeous peony in full bloom, but it seems to have thorns. Her beauty is an aggressive beauty. There is arrogance and coldness between her eyebrows. Her red lips are a little too thin, with a cold and harsh look, making people feel a little difficult to approach.
She stood next to Xia Ruya, one in a white dress and a red rose shawl, the other in the opposite, a white dress and a snow-white fur shawl. No one had expected that the two of them wore the same clothes.
However, compared to Xia Ruya's surprise and embarrassment, Du Ruoxin's expression remained calm and he didn't even glance at Xia Ruya.
Wen Xinya suddenly felt that Du Ruoxin was a wonderful person, so she smiled and said, "We just chatted for a few minutes."
Du Ruoxin was extremely beautiful, and she was wearing a bright red dress. She was as gorgeous as the beautiful crabapple blossoms in early spring. Her extreme beauty instantly made Xia Ruya beside her look dull.
Xia Ruya's smile was a little forced, but it was hidden very deeply: "It turns out to be Miss Du. I have heard that Miss Du is unparalleled in beauty. Seeing her today is indeed true."
Wearing the same clothes as Sun Xiaorou, a third-rate female star, was undoubtedly a source of shame and shadow for Xia Ruya. At the annual meeting of Wen's Group, she wore the same clothes as Sun Xiaorou, a third-rate female star. This incident tarnished her reputation and made her the object of ridicule. This incident was still a thorn in her heart.
Therefore, wearing the same clothes as others is not a good thing for Xia Ruya.
In her heart, she was even filled with deep pain and disgust.
Naturally, facing Du Ruoxin, no matter how good her disguise was, she couldn't help but reveal her emotions. Compared with Du Ruoxin, she was directly inferior.
Du Ruoxin seemed to have just noticed Xia Ruya. She glanced at her with a pair of threatening eyes, neither too light nor too heavy, neither too salty nor too bland: "Who are you? I haven't heard of anyone like you among the famous scholars in the capital."
Du Ruoxin's words were extremely venomous. Xia Ruya was quite famous in the capital because of her viciousness. I'm afraid everyone in the capital knew her. But she was indeed, firstly, not a daughter of a scholarly family, and secondly, no matter how rich the Li family was, they were in Hong Kong. Du Ruoxin's words were clearly a slap in the face.
Wen Xinya couldn't help but look at Du Ruoxin twice more. She didn't expect that she was such a sharp-tongued woman.
Xia Ruya turned pale on the spot, her mouth slightly open with a hint of astonishment, her big eyes full of innocent and pitiful looks, as if she couldn't react for a moment.
But now, Xia Ruya can only have this reaction.
After all, they are allies, so Lin Yingxin naturally has to help out, so she smiled and said, "This is Miss Xia Ruya, the heir of the Li family in Gangcheng. Miss Xia is very skilled in brewing scented tea. Scented tea originated in the Song Dynasty. It would be a pity if such a long-standing tea culture were to be forgotten by the public. So I invited her to the Qianjin Banquet and she will show you her skills in brewing scented tea."
Lin Yingxin's words were reasonable and convincing.
Xia Ruya's embarrassment was eased a little, and her stunned mood also subsided.
But Du Ruoxin didn't buy it: "So it's Miss Xia! I just don't understand, you are obviously the heir of the Li family in Gangcheng, why is your last name Xia? I have heard before that the Xia family, a third-rate small family in Beijing, has an illegitimate daughter named Xia Ruya, oh! No, it should be an abandoned daughter, can it be you, Miss Xia!"
Du Ruoxin's words were really venomous and hurtful. In just a few words, she had uncovered Xia Ruya's embarrassing life story, exposing it to everyone at once.
Even if Xia Ruya became the heir of the Hong Kong Li family, she could not change her status as the illegitimate and abandoned daughter of the Xia family. How could she be the heir of the Hong Kong Li family? She could only pretend to be the heir of the Beijing Li family...
Many people around couldn't help laughing, and the bold ones even whispered to each other, totally ignoring Xia Ruya.
"Miss Du, what do you mean by this?" Xia Ruya was extremely embarrassed by being slapped in the face by Du Ruoxin. Her face was pale and fragile and trembling, as if she had suffered a lot of injustice.
She had imagined many times the problems that would arise when attending the Qianjin Banquet. With Lin Yingxin's help and her own flower tea-making skills, it was only natural that she would win the attention of the crowd at the Qianjin Banquet and redeem herself from some of her bad reputation.
But she had never expected this woman, Du Ruoxin.
Du Ruoxin showed a look of realization: "So, you are the Xia Ruya I know. I'm so sorry, I thought we just had the same name."
Xia Ruya was so choked up that she couldn't utter a word. This wasn't an apology at all, it was clearly a stab in the back. She had no idea how she had offended Du Ruoxin.
Lin Yingxin now didn't know how to get out of the predicament.
Wen Xinya couldn't help but admire Du Ruoxin. She was really bold and daring in what she said and what she did. One could tell at first glance that she was not an easy person to get along with.
Although the Du family was gradually declining, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. In addition, Du Ruoxin had a good reputation in the capital. Everyone had heard of Du Ruoxin to some extent, but they did not expect that Du Ruoxin was actually a troublemaker.
Before the banquet started, Xia Ruya was stabbed severely, making her lose face.
Xia Ruya was extremely embarrassed for a moment, and changed the subject in a panic, "It's already past ten o'clock, why hasn't the Qianjin Banquet started yet?"
Xia Ruya's words reminded everyone. Everyone suddenly woke up and looked at the time. It was already 10:10, and ten minutes had passed since the Qianjin Banquet was about to start.
Why was the Qianjin Banquet postponed
