Xinya caused such a scene at Xia Ruya's coming-of-age ceremony that even Old Man Wen didn't say much. She left before the banquet was over, claiming to be feeling unwell. Naturally, Old Lady Wen followed suit and left in embarrassment.
After Mr. Wen retired from the business world, he seldom attended banquets in his circle. Even if he did attend some special banquets, he would usually show up and leave halfway. After all, given his status and age, no one would think it was a big deal.
But things are different now. Mr. Wen's withdrawal from Xia Ruya's coming-of-age ceremony in the middle of the ceremony made everyone speculate that Xia Ruya was almost convicted of helping Ning Shuqian frame Wen Wenya and plotting against the Wen family.
As a result, many guests left the event midway with excuses.
The huge banquet gradually became deserted.
This grand coming-of-age ceremony banquet ultimately ended in a bleak manner.
Xia Ruya rushed into the bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror. She had a new hairstyle and put on exquisite makeup, but she could still feel the previous embarrassment on her face.
She suddenly turned on the faucet and kept scooping water to wash her face, as if only this could wash away her previous embarrassment and humiliation.
By the time she came out, the Xia family had already sent away the last guest, and there was no one else at the huge banquet.
Old Master Xia was furious. He suddenly rushed forward like a dragon and a tiger and slapped her hard in the face.
"Snap!" The crisp sound, with a pleasant tone, and with a gentle echo in the empty banquet hall, seemed particularly ethereal and clear.
Xia Ruya's body was shaken by such a heavy force that her feet became unstable. She stumbled on her stiletto-heeled shoes and fell heavily to the ground. A sweet and fishy taste came out of her mouth. A drop of blood fell on the shiny floor, followed by a second drop, and a third drop...
The blood blossomed into bright red flowers on the ground, blooming so gorgeously!
Old Master Xia's face was ashen, and there was a flash of fire in his cloudy eyes, which looked particularly terrifying: "You evil daughter, the Xia family spent so much money and countless money to hold this grand coming-of-age ceremony for you, and also wanted to create momentum for you and make you glorious, so that our Xia family can also have face, but what have you done..."
Whenever Grandpa Xia thought about how he had spent so much money to host such a banquet but ended up getting nothing in return, he felt a piercing pain in his heart. He tried to build relationships with the celebrities attending the banquet, but those people didn't buy his account. They looked condescending and disdainful, as if he were lowly mud. Xia Ruya, this money-losing item, not only did not bring any benefits to the Xia family, but made the Xia family lose money.
"Grandpa, I..." My cheeks felt burning as if someone had smeared chili water on them. The moment he opened his mouth, he felt a heart-wrenching pain. Even his ears were buzzing and aching.
Old Master Xia's face was twisted with anger, and he glared at Xia Ruya fiercely: "I didn't expect that you were so vicious and conspired with stepmother to frame the eldest daughter of the Wen family and scheme against the Wen family, making the Xia family lose face. Whenever I think of the way those people looked at me at the banquet, I wish I could give up my old face and find a hole to crawl into."
If Xia Ruya hadn't been so bad at being a human being in the Wen family, and had angered the Wen family's eldest daughter and the Wen family's old man, how could those people at the banquet today not give him half a face? It was all because of Xia Ruya, the money-loser.
Xia Ruya crawled on the ground dejectedly. It was obviously the Xia family that was not up to standard, but they blamed her for it. She couldn't even defend herself. The Xia family only cared about their own interests, so she was wrong no matter what.
The old man of the Xia family looked fierce, kicked Xia Ruya, and cursed again: "The Wen family has raised you for twelve years, but you are so cruel and ruthless to plot against the Wen family. We dare not want such a heartless and ruthless person like you. We are afraid that you will sell out the Xia family one day!"
Now, Xia Ruya has lost the favor of the Wen family, completely offended the eldest daughter of the Wen family, and lost her reputation in the circle. Even if she is a member of the Zhishan Ya Society, she will not bring any benefits to the Xia family. She has become a discarded child.
Xia Ruya's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at him in disbelief: "Grandpa...you...are you going to abandon me again?"
Her body collapsed and she was finally overcome by the straw that broke the camel's back. She even lost the last straw that saved her life. She knew that the Xia family was only interested in profit and that no amount of begging and crying would be in vain and would only make her more pathetic.
Mr. Xia's expression flickered for a moment, and he said sternly, "You are the one who has a vicious heart, you can't blame others."
The Xia family's new shopping mall is undergoing transformation. Originally, they thought that Xia Ruya was the adopted daughter of the Wen family and had been raised by the Wen family for twelve years. The deep feelings between them could not be faked. With Xia Ruya around, the Wen family would definitely agree to help. However, the family card did not work. Later, Xia Ruya supported the family and took advantage of the Xiao family's acquisition of Ai Shang to extend an olive branch to the Wen family, intending to take advantage of the fire. However, the Wen family was indifferent. Now, they are preparing to take advantage of Xia Ruya's joining the Zhishan Yahui and her high reputation in society to strike while the iron is hot and organize the transformation of the new shopping mall. However, Xia Ruya's reputation has been completely ruined.
Whenever he thought about the failure of the Xia family's new shopping mall transformation and the heavy losses it suffered, and the huge amount of money spent on Xia Ruya's coming-of-age ceremony banquet, he felt a surge of resentment in his heart.
Chen Linfang got the chance and spoke harshly, "I saw from the beginning that she was a big-hearted person. How could she be a daughter of the Xia family? She conspired with her stepmother to plot against the eldest daughter of the Wen family. It's because she despises the Xia family and wants to use her status as the adopted daughter of the Wen family to get promoted and get rid of the Xia family completely."
Chen Linfang's words made the old man of the Xia family and Xia Haolin change their expressions.
Xia Ruya said palely: "I didn't..."
Chen Linfang's words hit hard at the darkest and ugliest place in her heart. The heart-wrenching pain left her with almost no strength to argue.
Xia Haolin looked down upon her coldly: "If I had known that you would be so restless and so vicious, I should not have taken you back in the first place."
"Bah!" Chen Linfang spat at Xia Ruya and sneered, "Who are you pretending to be like this for? It's disgusting. She's just the daughter of a cheap whore. She thinks she's so noble. She pretends to be a chaste heroine all day long, but in fact, she's worse than anyone else. She can even make her private photos public for everyone in the world to see, and she still thinks she's noble. The Wen and Xia families are unlucky for having a relationship with a woman like you..."
Xia Ruya could only helplessly acknowledge the thousands of accusations and insults!
