Wen Xinya came out of her grandfather's room and saw Xia Ruya standing at the corner of the stairs, her eyes fixed on the box in her hand. There was a light red in her wet eyes, and deep red bloodshot crisscrossed like a spider web, just like the cracked expression on her face, which was peeling off bit by bit at a slow speed, exposing the ugliness and twisted emotions hidden behind her calmness bit by bit.
Xia Ruya has always been very cautious. The old lady had just agreed to persuade Grandpa to hold her coming-of-age ceremony in the name of the Wen family, and Grandpa met with her alone in the study. He was worried that she would object to Grandpa's agreement to hold her coming-of-age ceremony in the name of the Wen family, so he eavesdropped on her conversation with Grandpa.
But she never expected that her grandfather would give her a rare and beautiful Ru porcelain bowl to comfort her. She could imagine how unwilling, resentful, and jealous Xia Ruya was at that moment.
Wen Xinya slowly smiled, and she couldn't help but think of her previous life, when she asked for her glazed tea set back, but that made the Wen family even more disgusted with her, and Xia Ruya finally got a set of blue and white porcelain tea set given to her by her grandfather.
That day, she stood where Xia Ruya was standing now, looking at Xia Ruya. Although the expression on her face was not as calm as Xia Ruya's now, it was calmer than Xia Ruya's.
Xia Ruya, in your previous life, have you ever thought that some things will change one day
Wen Xinya walked over slowly and said with a smile: "Miss Xia, Grandpa gave me a Rujiao azure lotus leaf bowl, which is much more beautiful and valuable than the broken Rujiao vase."
[Wen Xinya, Grandpa gave me a complete set of blue and white porcelain tea sets, which are much more valuable than your glazed tea sets! ]
Wen Xinya seemed to still hear those heart-piercing words spoken by Xia Ruya in her soft voice, her joyful and delicate expression changing into a sarcastic look, her smug eyes flashing with contempt, which in an instant trampled her under her feet.
Xia Ruya's face twisted slightly, and she forced a smile and said, "Grandpa Wen really cares about you so much that he even got such a rare treasure for you."
Wen Xinya was showing off to her. No... not only showing off, but also mocking her, mocking her for having spent so much time and effort on scheming, but in the end, it was all in vain.
"Yes! Grandpa really loves me. It was obviously me who broke the vase before, but grandpa not only did not blame me, he even gave me such a rare and precious Rujiao bowl." Wen Xinya's smile became sweeter and sweeter. She looked at the white magnolia flowers in the vase beside Xia Ruya, which had been replaced this morning. Each flower stood tall and graceful like a pure and noble princess, with a graceful posture, noble and beautiful, but the decay on the branches could not be concealed.
Xia Ruya's body trembled slightly. She seemed to hear a loud and crisp sound, and then she felt the stiffness and numbness on her face accompanied by a twitch, which made her emotions distorted. She subconsciously reached out to touch her face, and in an instant she felt like being struck by lightning. For the first time, she felt the reality of this face, as if all the masks had been stripped off, exposing all the emotions.
Wen Xinya slowly walked to Xia Ruya's side, her eyes were cold and indifferent, with a hint of contempt and mockery: "Xia Ruya, it's rare that you like Rujiao so much. You even wanted to use my mother's dowry before. I will spare you the trouble and let you appreciate it, but you have to be careful and don't damage it!"
As she spoke, Wen Xinya handed the box in her hand to Xia Ruya.
"No, don't look at it. Rujiao is precious. You'd better keep it well! Don't accidentally drop the porcelain bowl like last time." Xia Ruya took a step back suddenly as if she had encountered a flood or a beast. Her pupils contracted as she looked at the box in front of her. Looking at Wen Xinya's smug face, she wished she could learn from Wen Xinya's determination when she smashed the Rujiao vase in front of her. She snatched the box from her hand and threw it to the ground. But she didn't dare. She was afraid even when she got close, as if Wen Xin was carefully weaving a trap for her to jump into.
Wen Xinya took another step towards her aggressively.
Xia Ruya took a step back almost reflexively.
Wen Xinya slowly sneered, looking at Xia Ruya with cold mockery in her eyes: "What's in there are rare treasures, not poisonous snakes or ferocious beasts. You don't need to treat it like a formidable enemy and avoid it like a snake or scorpion."
Xia Ruya, it turns out you are just like this!
"I... I didn't!" Xia Ruya felt a dryness in her throat. Every breath she took would impact the dry mucous membrane in her throat. She kept trying to secrete liquid and swallow it into her throat to relieve the slight pain in her throat caused by the thirst, but she had no choice... doing so only deepened the dryness in her throat.
"No?" Wen Xinya sneered and took a step forward.
Xia Ruya did not step back this time, but she placed one hand on the railing and leaned back slightly.
Wen Xinya sneered and said with disdain: "You tried every possible means to get the Rujiao vase from me before, and now you are acting like this again, Xia Ruya... you really make me sick."
Xia Ruya couldn't help but argue: "This is just a misunderstanding. I didn't know that the Rujiao was Aunt Mo's dowry. I thought it was given to me by my grandfather, so I..."
Wen Xinya interrupted her, her eyes were fierce, but her lips were smiling: "Do you think I would frame you and break this Rujiao bowl to pin the blame on you?" Her voice suddenly became cold and icy, like an ice lotus blooming in the depths of the snowy mountains: "Haha! Xia Ruya, you really think too highly of me. I can't bear to break another Rujiao bowl this rare and precious."
Xia Ruya's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she was speechless and said, "I didn't... I didn't mean that..."
Wen Xinya interrupted her again and said, "I, Wen Xinya, disdain to frame others with such evil tricks. Only you, Xia Ruya, can do such a thing. You are the one who judges others by your own standards."
Xia Ruya's cheeks became redder and redder. Under Wen Xinya's fierceness, she was almost powerless to resist, and even her rebuttal became pale. Thinking of the case that Wen Xinya had mentioned before, her body slumped.
Wen Xinya sneered and walked away.
Xia Ruya ran into the bathroom like crazy, turned on the faucet, and white water flowed out. She rubbed her hands twice, then quickly scooped up the water and put it to her mouth. Her chest heaved violently, and she gulped down a few mouthfuls of water in one breath. Only then did the dryness in her throat ease.
But when she realized that she had drunk such unhygienic water, her eyes turned red with anxiety and she quickly crawled into the sink and picked her throat.
The cramps in her stomach made her feel very uncomfortable and painful, and she burst into tears.
In fact... it was just a Rujiao bowl, but it meant that the love of the Wen family no longer belonged to her. The thing she tried so hard to hold in her hands was gradually drifting away from her. She had calculated with all her heart and soul, but in the end she still couldn't get what she wanted.
Once again, special thanks to silence for their support!
