Chapter 558: I, Wen Xinya, Have Never Been a Saint
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wen Xinya could still hear Wen Haowen berating her and calling her a treacherous bastard . She could completely imagine his expression .
Wen Xinya walked towards the backyard slowly . After a night of thunderstorms, the leaves had fallen onto the ground, causing it to be filled with lush greenery and the yard to be full of life . The ground was also covered in red, white and pink petals of withered flowers . However, there were also flower buds on the vines boasting of life .
Only flowers that had been through rain could blossom so vibrantly .
Xia Ruya stood quietly beside her and looked up at the flowers that only had their branches left, appearing as beautiful as a white swan, exuding a melancholic beauty .
“Yesterday, there was still white magnolia in the vase on the second floor . However, they were replaced with gorgeous begonia flowers this morning . It was just a thunderstorm and yet, everything is scattered and the ground is muddy . ”
“It’s only common for flowers to bloom and wither,” Wen Xinya said with pursed lips . Xia Ruya was clearly trying to mock her and was referring to the scandal this morning .
“I think that the weather and life are far more predictable . Life is all about ups and downs, and it’s the same case for flowers,” Xia Ruya said while shifting her gaze onto Wen Xinya who was still beaming with joy . It was as if the thunderstorm last night had nothing to do with her at all .
Even if Wen Xinya is the rightful heiress of the Wen Family, has a reputable grandfather like Old Mr . Mo, and made her postpone her coming-of-age ceremony by three days, so what?
Wen Xinya is nothing but a joke now . Regardless of how successful the coming-of-age ceremony may be, it’s not going to overwrite her boorish nature . No amount of glory can erase her shameful past .
Soon enough, I’ll be the brightest shining star in the city, especially when Wen Xinya’s unglamorous past is juxtaposed against my glory .
Wen Xinya said calmly, “I do agree with your words, but there’s a popular ancient Chinese saying that roughly means ‘misfortunes and blessings go hand-in-hand’ . Look… the flowers have withered but the leaves have grown again . Isn’t that a perfect example?”
Xia Ruya was at a sudden loss for words . She stared at Wen Xinya in a bid to see the despair within her .

Wen Xinya stared at Xia Ruya and said profoundly, “Miss Xia, the sun always shines brightly after the thunderstorm . Humans… have to be more open-minded . If you keep pretending to be sad and melancholic all day, you’ll shorten your lifespan and be prone to illnesses . ”
Xia Ruya had an awful expression on her face, yet she was speechless .
“The emperor Jingyun said that the mind affects the spleen and overthinking is harmful for the stomach . The stomach is also the root of all diseases . I heard from the servants at the old mansion that growing up, Miss Xia has always been frailer than others . Look… you’ve only moved in with the Wen Family for a few days and yet you’ve already caught a cold and gotten diarrhea . ” Wen Xinya had never planned to let Xia Ruya off like that . Since Xia Ruya had provoked her first, she decided to pay her back in her own coin .
“I’ve always been weak since I was born,” Xia Ruya said while staring at her . Wen Xinya’s lips seemed venomous and she appeared extremely terrifying underneath the sunlight . Every word of hers was filled with mockery . She was just beating around the bush and trying to say that she was scheming .
Wen Xinya burst into laughter and said, “Oh, I see! But that also means that it’d be difficult to treat your condition . You should relax and nourish your body properly . I do have a few herbal recipes…”
“No… no need for that . I’ve already recovered and gotten much better,” Xia Ruya said, appearing as pale as a sheet . At the thought of all the strange-tasting herbal soups, she felt a sudden wave of queasiness .

A sullen expression formed on Wen Xinya’s face and she said, “You don’t have to be so nervous . I was just making a casual comment . I have some herbal recipes, but I don’t give them to anyone, especially not to such hypocritical saints like you . You’re just greedy and vicious on the inside . ”
“Xinya, I know you’re fretting over the news reports of your scandal in the magazines and newspapers . That’s why you’re saying such nasty words to me . I can understand how you’re feeling right now,” said Xia Ruya, who felt as if the coldness in Wen Xinya’s eyes had penetrated through her skin and into her bones . She clenched her fists tightly, feeling as if she was a scaled fish .
Wen Xinya snorted with laughter and looked at Xia Ruya in disdain . “Miss Xia, please don’t go around acting like a Saint again . That’s too noble for a peasant like me . ”
Wen Xinya stared at Xia Ruya, appearing utterly disgusted .
Xia Ruya stared at Wen Xinya who was clad in a black and white suit, appearing noble and elegant with a look of disdain .
Wen Xinya guffawed incessantly and continued, “Hahahaha… speaking of scandals, no one can compare to you, Miss Xia . Two years ago, you became the loosest woman in the city and you were called a hypocritical, fake, pretentious bitch . Even until now, the photos of your virginity test report are still circulating around the internet . How could I compare to you?”

“Xinya, do you feel proud about deriving joy from others’ pain? Even if my scandal went viral, I still managed to prove my own innocence . How about you… could you deny that those reports are fake?” Xia Ruya asked, turning as pale as a sheet . Her tender face was contorted ghastly due to her immense anger and her eyes were like dark pools of ink that knew no bounds .
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “I’ve never denied that I used to have a shameful past and I won’t sell myself short either . I’ve never been one to be trifled with . ”
Xia Ruya watched as Wen Xinya left, her slender waist and back exuding an intricate beauty .
