"Crunch, crunch!" Wen Xinya held a box of tomato-flavored potato chips in her arms, biting the chips while watching the gossip entertainment program on TV.

The program is reporting on Xia Ruya’s recent scandal.

There were a lot of photos of Xia Ruya's daily tenderness and purity, which formed a sharp contrast with the recent sensation of "sexy photos". She thought that almost everyone who saw this program would subconsciously look through newspapers and magazines to compare them with the photos above.

She took out her phone and logged into her email, then anonymously sent a file to **** Private Detective Agency. Seeing the message "Sent successfully" appear on her phone, the corners of her lips slowly curled up into a cold sneer. She would never miss such a gratifying opportunity to kick someone when he's down, and besides... the target was Xia Ruya, her enemy in both her past and present lives.

"What are you doing?" Si Yiyan came over and took the potato chips from her arms, and put a cup of warm water on the coffee table in front of her.

Wen Xinya shook her head and said calmly: "Nothing!"

Si Yiyan did not continue to ask, watching the report about Xia Ruya on the TV program: "Xia Ruya's scandal has been going on for several days, but she is still hiding in the hospital. She has not made any response or taken any action. I wonder what she is planning?"

He had never underestimated Xia Ruya. She played around with Ning Shuqian and Ning Yuya, and took advantage of Old Lady Wen and Wen Haowen. Such a woman was never an easy person to deal with. Many things that happened to Xinya had her shadow on them, but every time she was able to clear herself of all responsibility and stay out of it.

Wen Xinya sneered, "She wanted to use the Wen family to settle the matter for her and keep herself out of it. I have blocked this path for her with my own hands. She wanted to stir up suspicion among the Wen family towards me, but instead she sacrificed the only chess piece she could use. At this point, what else can she do?"

Grandpa has already said that he will not care about Xia Ruya's affairs, and the Xia family has not taken any action so far. The Xia family members even stay indoors to avoid the media. Judging from this incident, the Xia family probably will not help her to settle the scandal. Xia Ruya wants to rely on others to settle the scandal for her, but she forgets that if you rely on the mountain, the mountain will fall; if you rely on people, people will fall. It is better to rely on yourself than on others. It is extremely stupid to put all your hopes on others.

I didn't expect that someone as smart as Xia Ruya would make such a mistake.

She had always been successful in playing with people's hearts, but finally she tasted the bitterness of failure.

Si Yiyan said, "That being said, Xia Ruya is not that simple. You'd better not take it lightly."

Every time there is trouble, she manages to stay out of it. Such scheming is by no means accidental. She should not be helpless in the face of a mere scandal.

Wen Xinya agreed with Si Yiyan's words. If Xia Ruya was so easy to deal with, she wouldn't be Xia Ruya. But she also had her own opinion on this matter: "I know Xia Ruya too well. For the sake of her image and reputation, Xia Ruya would not easily come forward to deal with such a scandal. Instead, she would find ways to calculate others to deal with it for her. Only in this way can she not be affected by the scandal and stay out of it."

Si Yiyan didn't say anything. In terms of understanding, he naturally knew Xia Ruya far less than Wen Xinya, so he listened to her words carefully, but with reservations.

Wen Xinya's eyes flashed with cold sarcasm, and her thin and sharp lips opened slightly with sharp sarcasm: "But now... who else can she plot against? Wen Haowen? Hehe... Wen Haowen has always been heartless and ungrateful, and he cares a lot about his reputation. He would rather stay away from such a scandal. Would he stand up for Xia Ruya? Even if he stands up for Xia Ruya, what does it matter? Can he represent the position of the Wen family? He has no fewer scandals than Xia Ruya. Will the media buy his account? Will Grandpa let him go?"

Grandpa was hospitalized because Wen Haowen fainted. During this period, Wen Haowen was trying to please Grandpa by being a filial son. How could he disobey Grandpa for just Xia Ruya

"And Ning Shuqian is even more impossible. She is just a mistress who has risen to a higher position. Her reputation is even worse than Xia Ruya's. What can she do?" Ning Shuqian is not a fool. She would naturally not do such a thankless task that would make her the target of public criticism.

"Don't count on the Xia family. They are just a third-rate family in Beijing. Even if they come forward, what's the problem? They will only bring shame upon themselves in front of the media. Besides, the Xia family has always been calculating and scheming. They are selfish. If it weren't for the relationship between Xia Ruya and the Wen family, they would have cut off their relationship with Xia Ruya in the newspapers. They would not have let Xia Ruya bring trouble to the Xia Liansuo Supermarket. I think the Xia family hates Xia Ruya to death. How could they come forward for her?"

In her previous life, Xia Ruya single-handedly facilitated the cooperation between the Wen family and the Xia family on such a large project as the transformation of a high-end shopping mall, which established her position in the Xia family. The Xia family knew that although Xia Ruya was no longer the daughter of the Wen family, they still valued her, so they naturally did not dare to neglect her, and would even try to please her in order to gain more benefits for the Wen family.

But in this life, Xia Ruya's repeated attempts to make the Wen family and the Xia family cooperate were in vain. Given the Xia family's mentality, how could they let Xia Ruya have an easy life? It is estimated that in the eyes of the Xia family, Xia Ruya has become a useless child.

"Xia Ruya has spent twelve years working hard to build up her image and reputation in the industry, so she naturally values it more than anything else. This image and reputation have indeed earned her a lot of praise and honor in the industry, and brought her a lot of convenience. If Xia Ruya is really upright and has nothing to fear, and if she is truly honest and has nothing to fear, then that's fine. But for someone like her who has a beautiful appearance but is actually vicious and cruel in her bones, and wants to play with people's hearts by pretending to be human, the truth that water can carry a boat but can also overturn it has always been about people like Xia Ruya."

Si Yiyan agreed with her point of view: "Since ancient times, the word "reputation" has always been a double-edged sword. If you can't be upright and can't truly control it, it will hurt you sooner or later."

Wen Xinya's lips showed a chill that penetrated her bones: "Xia Ruya wants to clear herself this time and stay out of this matter. It is simply impossible because... she has no one to rely on. She can only rely on herself."

However, as long as she comes forward, this matter will affect her and become a stain that she will never be able to erase in her life.

Si Yiyan said: "It is human nature to choose the lesser of two evils. Xia Ruya has been forced to such a point, so she will definitely make some considerations. Don't underestimate the human instinct of thinking."

Wen Xinya sneered: "You are right, but this good show is still going on, let's just watch it."
