Wen Xinya saw Ning Shuqian gnashing her teeth and swallowing her grievance, and only then did she realize that Ning Shuqian had actually set her sights on her mother's old things. She accidentally made Ning Shuqian's thoughts go to waste, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of pleasure in her heart.
It's a very unpleasant feeling to be unable to get what you want.
Wen Xinya's smile was deep, but it was pure and innocent. The second purpose of donating the Ocean Star in her mother's name was to announce to everyone her mother's original wife's status as a legitimate wife, and to remind Ning Shuqian of her status as the third youngest. Her previous efforts to discredit her in the circle were nothing more than a clown's monkey show. At the same time, it also created momentum for herself and improved her status in the circle!
Old Master Wen looked at her deeply, then looked at Wen Haowen and said with a straight face, "Don't say any more. Xinya did suggest to me that I donate the Ocean Star, but I made the final decision, so it's none of Xinya's business. Don't blame her anymore."
Wen Haowen thought about his promise to Ning Shuqian, and he still felt embarrassed: "Even so, you should discuss it with me before making a decision. Besides, you don't have to donate things in the name of Xinya."
Old Master Wen sneered, "I think you are possessed by a ghost. Xinya has just returned to the Wen family. If we don't donate things in the name of Yunyao and Xinya, do we have to donate in the name of an old man like me?"
Wen Haowen's face froze, and he glanced at Ning Shuqian: "How can Shuqian handle herself at this banquet if you do this? She has been married to the Wen family for fifteen years, how can you make her feel embarrassed?"
The old man wanted to build momentum for Wen Xinya. This move was nothing more than borrowing Yun Yao's reputation as the original legitimate wife of the Wen family to declare Wen Xinya's legitimate identity, raise Yun Yao's status and reputation, and naturally belittle Shu Qian's status in the Wen family.
Ning Shuqian had tears in her eyes: "Haowen, I'm fine, don't argue with dad in this situation, everyone is watching."
All the jewelry left by Mo Yunyao were extremely valuable. She had coveted them for a long time, but the old man kept them very tightly. When Xia Ruya grew up, they were slowly given to her. Naturally, she didn't want to ask for them. Later, Xia Ruya became the illegitimate daughter of the Xia family, and the old man asked for these things back and sent them to Wen Xinya's room. Only the Star of the Ocean had been in the old man's hands, so she wanted to claim it for herself.
After this commotion, several people left unhappily. Grandpa and a group of old friends gathered together to chat. Wen Xinya looked at Xia Ruya, who had been standing in the middle of the booth staring at the Ocean Star in the tempered bulletproof glass, with a flash of satisfaction in her eyes.
Xia Ruya, in my last life you took away everything that belonged to me.
In this life, I will donate everything I have to charity, and I won’t let a bitch like you get anything for free!
Thinking of this, she smiled and walked to Xia Ruya's side: "Isn't this Ocean Star beautiful? The blue is as deep and clear as the ocean. Under the illumination of the crystal lamp, it is so dazzling that it takes your breath away."
Xia Ruya looked up at her, her eyes were calm, her eyes were clear as water, "Yes, it's beautiful! It's one of the few large diamonds in the world, and the others are either missing or unknown. Only this Ocean Star is vast and exudes the most beautiful light in the world. It is said that everyone who gets it will be happy and have everything they want."
Her voice was too calm, and the calmness made Wen Xinya feel a strange sense of disharmony. No wonder Xia Ruya liked this Ocean Star so much in her previous life. It turned out that the Ocean Star had such a meaning.
Thinking about the previous life, Xia Ruya got the Star of the Ocean and indeed got happiness, and it also took away everything that belonged to her. It seems that the Star of the Ocean is indeed a lucky thing.
Wen Xinya smiled, her eyes flashing with mockery, especially her flower-like delicate lips, which were slightly puffed, her breath was as fragrant as orchid, and every texture on her lips exuded softness and delicacy: "I heard that this ocean star belonged to you before, and you often took it to various banquets and events."
Xia Ruya looked at her in astonishment, as if she had not expected her to say such a thing. When she saw the sneer in her eyes, her eyes seemed to be stabbed suddenly, and she subconsciously drooped down. Her eyes were filled with jealousy and hatred. Her deep and bottomless eyes gradually became cold, and slowly a bloodthirsty madness emerged. The storm condensed and accumulated bit by bit, and there was a kind of madness unfolding...
“Now it seems that the so-called beautiful halo and metaphor of happiness of Ocean Star are nothing but rumors, otherwise you would not have become the illegitimate daughter of the Xia family.” Wen Xinya looked at her with cold eyes, with scrutiny in her eyes, as cold and hard as a steel knife.
Xia Ruya looked at Wen Xinya's receding back. That figure revealed an innate nobility and elegance, as if it was looking up and down between heaven and earth, so dazzling that it was blinding. Just one glance at it made people feel like a moth flying into a flame and being torn into pieces.
She suddenly clenched her hands, her sharp nails piercing into the tender flesh of her palms, causing her to grit her teeth in pain. For a moment, a fierce look suddenly appeared between her brows, which she could not conceal no matter what she did.
Among Mo Yunyao's priceless jewelry, her favorite was the Star of the Ocean. She wore it to many banquets. Everyone in the circle knew that this large diamond, one of only a few in the world, belonged to her, and it had become a symbol of her identity.
After Wen Wenya was found, the old man of the Wen family did not ask her for Mo Yunyao's old things at first, but she was embarrassed to refuse things that did not belong to her, so when she left the Wen family, she did not take anything with her.
There was only this star of the sea. She thought that after all, she was the daughter of the Wen family who had been raised for twelve years, and her grandfather would not be reluctant to give her even a star of the sea. However, she did not expect that her grandfather would ask her for it back. She still remembered her embarrassment and shame at that time.
She thought that this star of the ocean was to be given to Wen Xinya, and she also had a malicious thought in her heart that this necklace was also worn by her before and now it was Wen Xinya's turn to wear it. When she thought about Wen Xinya walking around in circles wearing the necklace she had worn, she felt a strange balance in her heart.
But she never expected that the old man of the Wen family would actually use this necklace for charity auction, as if he was disdainful of the Wen family because Xia Ruya had worn it. This was a slap in her face!
Her eyes fell on Wen Xinya, a whole set of pigeon blood rubies, pure, saturated and bright. Under the dazzling crystal light, when still, it looked like a burning flame, like a phoenix bathing in fire; when moving, it looked like flowing blood, filled with a strong vitality and rich colors, making Wen Xinya's tender and youthful face even more vivid and beautiful.
Pigeon blood rubies like this one, which are free of any impurities, are rare collectibles and their value is incomparable to that of sea stars.
What Wen Xinya had were things she had never had before! This discovery made her extremely jealous.
