At eight o'clock in the evening, the warm and elegant coming-of-age ceremony was officially held in Shande Manor. This coming-of-age ceremony was grand and precious. The guests who came to attend included prestigious figures from various fields of military, politics, culture, commerce, and entertainment, as well as celebrities and elites from all walks of life. Even some guests from Lord Mo were invited.
There are long alleys and rows of square bluestone lamp posts. The fragrance of pine oil fills the air, and the yellow light of the pine oil illuminates the dim night. The lights are sparse for ten miles, but they are rare and beautiful.
On the high beams of the east hall of the corridor hang huge glazed coral lamps. The finely polished glazed glass sets off the colorful corals, making the entire east hall glow with brilliant light, so gorgeous that it takes your breath away.
The hall is furnished with a central hall, a long desk, an armchair, a coffee table and other furniture. The floor is covered with calm and majestic brown and yellow marble, which is gorgeous and restrained, and exudes an air of nobility.
There is a picture of Guanyin sitting on a lotus hanging in the central hall. Dazzling golden light is concentrated on the body of Guanyin Bodhisattva, purple light is radiating, and auspiciousness is everywhere, making people who watch it feel as if they are bathed in holy dew and are convinced!
On the long ebony table was an incense burner with a gold-inlaid Boshan phoenix pattern. Incense was rising from the burner and spreading. On the left side of the table was a foot-high rosewood-mounted mutton-fat jade Buddha's hand, and on the right side was a Ru kiln sky-blue glazed flower vase.
On the east side, there is a red sandalwood floor-to-ceiling canopy with a beautiful blue curtain. In the middle of the second room, there is a treasure chest, which contains a copper enamel inlaid with jade flower baskets, a blue and white porcelain plum vase, a Qishou Changchun white stone bonsai, a green glass vase with purple flowers...
To the west, there is a twelve-panel embroidered screen with crape myrtle flowers embroidered in Suzhou embroidery. From a distance, they look like flowers in the mist. In the four-cornered vases, pear blossoms are inserted.
The ancient charm is everywhere.
It’s just so… luxurious!
The luxury is breathtaking.
With just one look, you will know that these things are genuine antiques, priceless, and not high-end imitations. The genuine antiques convey an antique elegance that high-end imitations can never achieve.
Those who were invited to attend the banquet were all well-known figures who had seen all the world, but they were still shocked by what they saw.
"Oh my god! The eldest daughter of the Wen family's coming-of-age ceremony is really grand. Look at the furnishings in the east hall, every piece is a priceless antique, and every piece of the decoration in this room is carefully planned..."
"She has a fortune of 2 billion. Which daughter of a famous family in Beijing has such wealth and value? Even if she lives on, she can still live a life of wealth and glory. If it were me... I'd rather not be the heir to the Wen family."
"Before Ning Shuqian got pregnant, I thought Wen Xinya, the heir of the Wen family, could no longer be kept. She had such a miserable past, which was always a stain that could not be washed away. If there was no other way, why would the Wen family take her back? Mr. Wen is in good health, and Wen Haowen is in his prime. It's not too late for Ning Shuqian to get pregnant and train a better heir."
"You're not the only one who thinks so. Everyone thinks so! But who could have thought that Mr. Mo would actually build up momentum for her like this? Compared to her worth, the embarrassment she experienced in the past is nothing. On the contrary, her embarrassment in the past makes her even more outstanding. Didn't she say at the introduction dinner that she was a butterfly emerging from a cocoon? Only now do I believe that she is the butterfly emerging from a cocoon."
"Once such a precious coming-of-age ceremony is held, Wen Xinya's status and reputation in the Beijing circle will also rise to a higher level. A super luxurious introduction dinner, a grandfather of noble status, a family fortune of billions, and a grand and precious coming-of-age ceremony. No other daughter in Beijing has such a precious one as hers."
Xia Ruya stood not far away, listening quietly to the whispers around her. Those voices were like cold blades piercing her heart. Almost everyone's topic was about Wen Xinya and her. When they talked about how grand Wen Xinya's coming-of-age ceremony was, they would always bring up how bleak her adult ceremony was. When they talked about Wen Xinya's excellence, they would always mention her scandals.
She seemed to have become a cannon fodder to set off Wen Xinya, existing specifically to highlight her transformation!
How exactly is she inferior to Wen Xinya
What's so great about Wen Xinya? She just took away her brilliant halo. She has everything that Wen Xinya has. The only thing she can't compare with is that she doesn't have a grandfather like Mo Gong!
She suddenly pressed her chest, the resentment, jealousy, hatred and malice bursting out from there made her almost worried that she would not be able to suppress it at all.
At this moment, she had completely lost, completely defeated. Under the warm and elegant light, she couldn't even breathe.
"Ruya, are you okay?" Ning Shuqian stepped forward to support her shaky body and held her hand, which was wet and cold.
Xia Ruya forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, her pale face showing extreme dejection: "Aunt Ning, I'm fine! I didn't expect Wen Xinya's coming-of-age ceremony to be so expensive."
Ning Shuqian's face was also distorted, and hatred arose spontaneously. Even she had not expected that the warm and elegant coming-of-age ceremony was not only grand but also precious. She seemed to have shed all her embarrassment in an instant and truly turned into a noble lady who was admired by everyone.
The sky-high dowry of 2 billion yuan was like a heavy slap in her face, burning with pain. That bitch Mo Yunyao would trample her into the mud even in her death.
How hateful... Wen Xinya was actually safe and sound in the rear-end collision just now.
Xia Ruya felt that breathing was a little difficult, and there was a suffocation in her chest that was difficult to relieve. "Aunt Ning, find a chance to get rid of your stomach as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if the dirty water is not thrown on Wen Xinya. I always have a bad premonition."
Wen Xinya knew that Ning Shuqian’s pregnancy was fake. Before, because there was no evidence, they were fearless. They calculated that Wen Xinya would not dare to use this matter to stir up trouble in the Wen family. If she was not careful, she would fall into their trap. However... Wen Xinya’s attitude towards this matter was too calm. Since she tested the truth, she has never shown anything. Before, because of the old man’s suspicion, they did not dare to act rashly. After Wen Haowen’s scandal, Ning Shuqian was even more afraid to act in order to win over Wen Haowen...
She felt that ever since Ning Shuqian became pregnant, Wen Xinya seemed to be leading her every step.
She didn't feel it before, but today she suddenly had a bad feeling.
"I understand." Ning Shuqian nodded with a slight breath in her heart. As long as she could solve the problem as soon as possible, she could take the initiative and cover up the matter. Otherwise, if Wen Xinya took advantage of the opportunity, she would be doomed.
