At 10 o’clock, Ning Shuqian went out with Wen Xinya and Wen Yuya . Grandpa had arranged for his own personal driver, Old Tao, to send them .
They arrived shortly at Pearl Mall and saw Xia Ruya at the entrance .
Xia Ruya wore a lotus green dress tailor-made by Fan Sizhe . Matched with an entire set of diamond jewelry, she looked slender and elegant .
Even if Xia Ruya was back to square one, she continued to have a good life . Everyone will have a nemesis in their lifetime . Just like Xia Ruya was Wen Xinya’s nemesis .
Wen Xinya had a faint rose-shaped birthmark on her chest . When her mother Mo Yunyao passed away soon after giving birth, everyone was devastated and had not paid much attention to the newborn baby . It was that moment of negligence that caused a tragedy that lasted 15 years . The newborn Wen Xinya was carried away by an enemy and abandoned at a club’s entrance .
The Wen Family used up all their resources to trace their precious little granddaughter . After three years, they finally found a female baby with a faint rose-shaped birthmark on her chest . Because of how much they had missed their lost granddaughter, they immediately took this baby girl back and named her Wen Ruya without even doing any DNA tests .
Wen Ruya had a minor accident at the age of 14 and required a blood transfusion due to a huge amount of blood loss . Her blood belonged to a rare Rh-negative type, and the hospital did not have such a blood type in their reserve . The hospital had asked the members of the Wen Family for help, but not one in the family nor the late Madam Wen had the Rh-negative blood type . It was at that moment they realized Wen Ruya was not the granddaughter they were looking for .
However, Wen Ruya knew how to turn things to her advantage . Though she wasn’t the Wen Family’s granddaughter, she continually made Grandma happy, so she did not mind if Ruya wasn’t her genuine granddaughter . On the other hand, old Mr . Wen didn’t want to give up looking for his lost descendant . He also had a sense of guilt towards Wen Ruya and therefore secretly helped her look for her lost family .
Due to the rarity of the Rh-negative blood type, they easily traced her back to the Xia Family . Xia Ruya was the illegitimate daughter of Xia Haolin, the CEO of the Xia Emporium Group .
The Xia Emporium Group had malls built in every corner of the country . Though the Xia Family was considered wealthy, they were incomparable to the Wen Family’s wealth . The Xia Family quickly agreed to fetch Xia Ruya back on the accord that the Wen Family groom her to be a well-mannered and elegant young girl for many years . Furthermore, this would be a good excuse for them to be connected to the prestigious Wen Family . They even wanted to please the Wen Family by just changing Ruya’s surname to Xia and not the original name the Wen Family gave her .
Xia Ruya always had lady luck on her side . After living a life of high status for 12 years, she continued to be a wealthy family’s daughter even after she had to leave the Wen Family .
Xia Ruya happily walked towards Wen Xinya and the rest when she saw them . She said excitedly, “Aunt Ning, Yuya, Xinya, I’m glad to see you here . Shall we go shopping together?”
Wen Xinya laughed with sarcasm in her heart . She knew it was not a coincidence to see Xia Ruya here . It must be Ning Shuqian who had informed her .
Ning Shuqian showed an expression of unwillingness and glanced towards Wen Xinya’s direction . She said, “We’re here today for Xinya . We need to get her clothes and other accessories, therefore…”
Wen Xinya grinned and thought to herself: What a hypocrite! By saying that Ning Shuqian wanted to bring out the contrast between Xia Ruya’s gracefulness and Wen Xinya’s uncouthness .
Wen Yuya was happy to see her too . She tightly held Xia Ruya’s arm and said, “Sister Ruya, what a coincidence! You have such an affinity with the Wen Family that we ran into each other even on the streets . ”
Wen Xinya felt disgusted watching these three women’s acting . She then said with sarcasm, “Of course there’s a strong affinity, so strong that she had been an adopted daughter to the Wen Family for 12 years . ”
Xia Ruya did not expect to hear this . Her head drooped with a sense of wrongness and said, “Xinya, I know you dislike me and think I was the one who took everything from you . But it wasn’t my fault! I was also very sad when I had to leave my beloved Grandpa, Grandma, Father, and Aunt, as well as my dearest little sister . ”
Wen Yuya could not stand it any further . She stared at Wen Xinya, blaming her, “Wen Xinya, you think you have truly become the Wen Family’s eldest daughter? Look at you . Your uncivilized behavior does not even make you close to being part of the Wen Family . You are just a little gangster from the streets . But Sister Ruya is different . Although she isn’t the real Wen Family’s daughter, she is so much better than you! Do you really think you have become a phoenix? You are just a little sparrow in disguise . ”
Pearl Mall was a well-known luxurious shopping mall . It was frequented by the wealthy . In her previous lifetime, Ning Shuqian and Wen Yuya had brought her there as well . And similarly, they had also met Xia Ruya there . After exchanging a few sarcastic and offensive words, the previous Wen Xinya could not hold her temper and started fighting with Xia Ruya on the spot, thus attracting a lot of attention . It was at that time that she got a bad reputation for being a shrew, and then became a laughing stock to the other wealthy ladies .
With no expression on her face, Wen Xinya said to the both of them, “Sister Yuya, why are you agitated? I have not finished my sentence . I mean to say that since the Wen Family can have one daughter, of course we wouldn’t mind having another one . ”
These words drove Wen Yuya mad . She looked at Wen Xinya’s expressionless face and really felt like giving her a hard slap!
Meanwhile, Xia Ruya was observing Wen Xinya closely . She noticed the change in Wen Xinya overnight . She was able to keep her cool and stand quietly . Her face was clear of cosmetics, showing her real beauty from within . This reminded Xia Ruya of the old viburnum tree in the Wen Family’s old mansion . Wen Xinya was beautiful, calm and pure, just like that tree .
Realizing that her initial plan to shame Wen Xinya had failed, Ning Shuqian stepped up and pulled Wen Yuya aside, worried that she might embarrass herself at a public place . She added, “We are going upstairs to help Xinya select a few nice outfits . Ruya, do join us!”
Xia Ruya replied with a smile, “I haven’t shopped with Aunt Ning for ages . I would definitely like to join you!” She then turned to Wen Xinya and said, “Xinya, you wouldn’t mind, would you?”
Wen Xinya frowned slightly, “Aunt Ning is our elder . I have no objectives since it’s her idea . ”
Ning Shuqian happily pulled Xia Ruya along . She said, “Ruya has an eye for style . Her comments will be useful! I am already over 30 . My taste for clothes would be different from younger girls like you . ”
Wen Yuya also went up close to Xia Ruya and exclaimed, “Indeed! Sister Ruya has good taste . She has helped me to choose a lot of nice outfits . ”
The three of them spoke with perfect synchronization, leaving Wen Xinya behind all by herself . Wen Xinya didn’t mind . She would just enjoy their act .
