The fact that Xia Ruya and Sun Xiaorou wore the same clothes caused quite a stir at the banquet.
But soon, Xia Ruya changed into a new evening gown and reappeared at the banquet, still smiling. When asked by reporters about wearing the same clothes as others before, she just smiled and said, "It is very common to wear the same clothes as others. Who in the circle has never encountered the same clothes as others?"
Wen Xinya looked at Xia Ruya, who was surrounded by a group of men and women and was smiling sweetly. She no longer felt the shame and humiliation she had felt when they wore the same clothes before.
However, she was not so naive as to think that she could hit Xia Ruya by taking advantage of the fact that she wore the same clothes as her. It was just because Xia Ruya was very popular recently, and she wanted to use the fact that she wore the same clothes as her to suppress her arrogance.
Old Master Wen looked at Xia Ruya, who was surrounded by the crowd, smiling and talking sweetly, and said indifferently: "I watched Ruya grow up. She is scheming, has means, is purposeful, and has strong ambitions. I used to think that she inherited all the advantages of the Wen family. As the heir of the Wen family, this is a good thing, but..."
The following words were not spoken.
"Grandpa, I know what's going on." Wen Xinya couldn't help but be surprised. She didn't expect her grandfather to say this to her. But when she thought about it carefully, Xia Ruya had disappeared in the capital for the past two years, and as soon as she came back, she caused a stir in the capital. How could her grandfather not have some thoughts in his mind
Old Master Wen nodded and did not continue talking. After all, in his heart, he admired Xia Ruya the most. After all, he had seen how serious the scandal and hymen incident two years ago were. He had also seen her depression, sadness, grievance, pain, humiliation, and unbearableness at that time.
However, within just two years, she was back in the prosperous world of the capital, and seemed more calm and shining more brightly than before.
Such dazzling light is definitely not accidental.
Then he thought of the incident of wearing the same clothes, but he was back to normal in a short time, which is not something an ordinary person can do.
Mr. Wen brought Wen Xinya to greet his old friends in the circle.
At this time, Xiao Zhiyuan and Xiao Chengyu, the eldest son of the Xiao family, slowly walked over: "Old man, long time no see! Since you retired from the business world, I rarely see you in activities in the circle. I see you today, and you are still as charming as before!"
Xiao Zhiyuan greeted Grandpa Wen politely, but his deep gaze fell on Wen Xinya beside Grandpa Wen. His calm and clear eyes flashed with a calm and rational light. He looked quite arrogant, with a faint smile on his lips. He was obviously beautiful, but he revealed a hidden edge.
It was not until this moment that he was certain that the Xiao family's acquisition of Ai Shang had ultimately failed because of this girl.
Mr. Wen said calmly, "It's just some old stories that you still look as good as you did in the past. The world is now ruled by young people."
Although the Xiao family and the Wen family have no business dealings, they are both one of the four great families in Beijing, so the Wen family invited the Xiao family to attend today's annual meeting. The Xiao family failed in the acquisition of Ai Shang and suffered heavy losses. After two years of recuperation, it has now returned to its former heyday.
Xiao Zhiyuan's eyes fell on Wen Xinya: "Miss Wen has changed dramatically in the past two years. I heard that she is studying at Lanfeng College and her grades are very good. She is indeed worthy of being the blood of the Wen family."
Wen Xinya pretended to blush and said shyly: "Uncle Xiao, thank you for the compliment."
It is certain that she was the one behind the Xiao family's acquisition of Ai Shang. Now that she has taken the initiative to approach and talk to him, it must be that she has bad intentions.
Xiao Zhiyuan's eyes suddenly fell on Xia Ruya, who was surrounded by many stars not far away. He smiled and said to Mr. Wen, "You are so lucky, Mr. Wen. Not only does the Wen family have such an excellent bloodline as the eldest sister of the Wen family, but also has an adopted daughter who is not only outstanding but also highly praised. Now that Miss Xia has become a member of Zhishan Yahui, the Wen family will definitely move to a higher level in the future."
Overtly and covertly, they looked envious and jealous, but the hypocrisy revealed in their eyes was just a satire on the fact that Wen Wenya was not as good as Xia Ruya. The Wen family picked up a sesame seed but lost a watermelon. Combined with the fact that the Xia family transformed into a high-end shopping mall, it was a satire on the fact that the Wen family had worked hard to raise a daughter, but in the end the Xia family got the advantage for nothing and the Wen family just watched from the sidelines.
Mr. Wen had been in the business world for many years, so how could he not understand what he meant? He glanced at Xia Ruya and said calmly, "You are right. Xinya and Ruya are both excellent children. The one next to you is Chengyu, right? I haven't seen him for many years, and Chengyu has grown up."
When he mentioned Xinya and Xia Ruya, his tone was full of pride, as if he didn't hear Xiao Zhiyuan's sarcasm. When he mentioned Xiao Chengyu, his tone suddenly became calm, as if he was just mentioning it casually.
Xiao Zhiyuan's expression changed instantly, but soon stabilized. Although Chengyu was an excellent child, compared with Wen Xinya's talent and Xia Ruya's excellence, he seemed much more mediocre. Old Master Wen was just taking the opportunity to mock him.
Wen Xinya was watching in amazement, it turned out that the old ones were the wisest, and no one could find fault with Xiao Zhiyuan's words. They could only suffer in silence, but his grandfather managed to get back 10% of the points.
Xiao Zhiyuan laughed and said, "Chengyu is naturally no match for your two granddaughters. When it comes to teaching the younger generation, I am far from being as good as you. I am really ashamed."
No matter how good you are at teaching the younger generation, after carefully training a Xia Ruya, she still became someone else's.
The expression on Mr. Wen's face faded: "No, no, although Xinya is an excellent child, she was not taught by me. I dare not compete with Mr. Mo for this credit."
Old Master Wen fought back with a gentle and neither soft nor hard approach. It was true that Xia Ruya was outstanding, and it was also true that she was the daughter of the Xia family. However, Wen Xinya was being taught by Old Master Mo, so who else dared to say anything
"Mr. Mo is indeed worthy of his reputation." Xiao Zhiyuan was defeated twice by Grandpa Wen, and finally understood why his father was so wary of the old man of the Wen family. His every word and action was impeccable, but he was the one who suffered a loss because of his indomitable spirit.
Grandpa Wen finally smiled. "Xinya is well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is talented in all these areas. I was almost worried that Xinya would inherit her grandfather's legacy."
Xiao Zhiyuan didn't know what to say for a moment.
Wen Xinya looked at Xiao Zhiyuan's embarrassed smile, a hint of coldness flashed across her eyes. This Xiao Zhiyuan simply wanted to take advantage of Xia Ruya's popularity to flatter her and her grandfather, and wanted to take the opportunity to belittle her, but her grandfather directly used her grandfather to slap him in the face.
The Xiao family leader, who was known as the Smiling Fox in the circle, was self-righteous, but he still suffered at the hands of his grandfather.
