Chapter 9
Wen Xinya was looking at her reflection in the mirror . Hearing what Wen Yuya said, Wen Xinya turned and walked gracefully towards her . She displayed a strong characteristic of elegance and inner beauty within her . With each step, she had brought out the class of high status coupled with a high level of confidence .
“What… What do you want?” Wen Yuya stammered with anxiety . She suddenly felt flustered and did not dare to look at Wen Xinya in the eyes .
Wen Xinya raised the corners of her lips . She looked sharp—beautiful as a flower and calm as snow; as if a strong breeze of courage just swept through her .
At this moment she was glowing with charm . It felt like the refracted light from the chandelier brought her elegance into the limelight, making it difficult to look at her directly without the glaring light hurting the eyes . Only the contour of her face was slightly visible .
Wen Xinya stopped right in front of Wen Yuya . She lowered her body slowly until she was in a squatted position . She then looked up to Wen Yuya like a devoted believer looking up at God .
Except she did not have the gracefulness of God . Anyone under this beautiful light became so attractive that was able to touch the soul . Even though Wen Xinya was looking up from a lower position it felt like she was the one calling the shots .
“What… What are you doing, bitch? Get away from me…” Wen Yuya started stuttering . She was panicking and her heart was beating faster and faster . Lub-dub! Lub-dub!
Ning Shuqian was certain that Wen Xinya wouldn’t do anything silly in front of her at this moment . Therefore, she didn’t mind her actions . However, seeing her own daughter turning pale and panicky with sweat all over her forehead, she felt something wasn’t right . She had to interfere . “Xinya, what are you doing?”
Wen Xinya did not respond . She raised her hands towards Wen Yuya’s cheek and combed her hair with her slim, long fingers . Wen Yuya could feel the unfriendliness from the touch of her hands . She almost froze and didn’t dare move an inch, asking in a trembling voice, “What do you want?”
Wen Xinya placed her fair and slim fingers on Wen Yuya’s cheeks gently and moved slowly downwards along her rounded cheeks . Then, she held Wen Yuya’s chin authoritatively and lifted her head . “I just wanted to see if you looked like a mother hen too . We are from the same chicken coop, so it doesn’t make sense if I look like a mother hen and you don’t,” she told her .
“Argh! Get lost…” Wen Yuya started screaming nervously while trying to push Wen Xinya’s hands away .
Wen Xinya took her time to stand up . She adjusted her clothes in a tranquil manner . She turned towards the shivering Wen Yuya and gave her an icy look that pierced through her heart like a knife .
Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya who were watching by the side had chills running down their spines .
“How dare you challenge me? — Umm?” Wen Xinya said in a domineering voice . There was no way to defend against her words that attacked like a secret weapon .
The “Umm” even sounded with great power of influence .

Wen Yuya bit her lips tightly . She looked at Wen Xinya with a pair of eyes that were filled with bitterness and resentment . She hated Wen Xinya to the bone .
Ning Shuqian couldn’t believe that she was stunned by a 15-year-old’s words . She quickly recovered from her shock and reproached . “Xinya, Yuya is your sister . How can you treat her this way?”
Unbothered, Wen Xinya turned to Ning Shuqian, asking her, “What have I done to her? I did not beat or scold her, did I?”
Ning Shuqian was speechless . Indeed, Wen Xinya had done nothing to harm Wen Yuya physically . She could only look at her poor daughter suffering in fear and hatred after being browbeaten by Wen Xinya’s words . Yet, there was nothing she could do to help except feel sorry and harbor a great sense of enmity towards Wen Xinya .
She had underestimated this little bitch!
Seeing Ning Shuqian suffering from humiliation, Xia Ruya had to step in . “Xinya, Sister Yuya is someone who speaks from the heart . She is so outspoken and direct that sometimes even Aunt Ning cannot do anything about it . You’ll get to know her better after some time . ”
Xia Ruya managed to catch her breath . She almost felt breathless earlier when Wen Xinya walked towards Wen Yuya with such an unspoken power of authority . Her brain was screaming for her to escape . To Xia Ruya, Wen Xinya was as scary as a devil that came from hell .

Wen Xinya answered, “Yes, I have just returned to the Wen Family . Hence, I don’t know her as well as you do . ” Then she looked at Ning Shuqian and apologized respectfully . “Aunt Ning and Sister Yuya, please pardon me if I have offended you in any way . ”
When Ning Shuqian was just feeling a little better and wanted to display her broad-mindedness, Wen Xinya interrupted . “Aunt Ning, pardon my honesty . There is nothing good about being direct and outspoken . Calling others names like ‘mother hen’ or ‘bitch’ won’t do any good to Sister Yuya’s reputation as an adopted daughter of the Wen Family, and could even do a discredit to the Wen Family . Fortunately, it was me who was being scolded by Sister Yuya today . I won’t hold it against her, naturally, but it could be a different story if she did it to someone else . ”
She then spoke to Wen Yuya in a lecturing tone . “Sister Yuya, you have to take note of this . The Wen Family could buy anything you want, but not your reputation . ”
Ning Shuqian almost spat blood onto Wen Xinya’s face . She never expected to be lectured by this little bitch . She became so speechless that it felt like almost nothing she said was going to make things right .
By now, Wen Yuya who was seated at the sofa, feeling extremely pissed . As she heard this, she sprung up from the sofa . However, Ning Shuqian swiftly grabbed her hands and said in a moderate tone, “Your sister is right . You are an adopted daughter of the Wen Family . You grew up with a civilized upbringing . Do watch your behavior as a daughter of the Wen Family . ”
After hearing Ning Shuqian’s words, Wen Yuya tilted her head up high . She was 1 . 66 meters tall and looked tougher than Wen Xinya, who was only 1 . 58 meters tall . She felt a sense of great contentment from within .
Wen Xinya chose to ignore such attempts to ridicule her . She turned around and walked away .

Wen Xinya did not realize there was a man sitting at the resting area at a short distance away . With a magazine in his hands, this man had seen everything that just happened .
That beautiful silhouette of Wen Xinya looked slim and charming under the refracted lights from the chandelier . The man had captured the act of this enchanting character in his eyes . He mumbled to himself, “Is this the eldest daughter of the Wen Family?”
After seeing what just happened, the shop assistant was trembling with horror . It was the first time she saw someone being able to attack relentlessly with her words and still maintain a class of high status and elegance . The eldest daughter of the Wen Family seemed to be a powerful character .
The shop assistant quickly walked up to her with a welcoming smile on her face, saying, “Miss Wen, we have just launched a new series of long dresses with a nostalgic design . You have long beautiful legs and will definitely look nice in them . ”
It had been a common misconception that long dresses are made especially for ladies with shorter legs to conceal them . Those with a pair of long legs would present themselves even better in long dresses with a nostalgic effect .
Wen Xinya followed the shop assistant’s lead to browse for other outfits .
