Zhou Tianyu draped an arm around Wen Xinya鈥檚 neck and said while giggling, 鈥淴inya, tell me the truth. Were you the one who uploaded Xia Ruya鈥檚 scandalous videos on the internet?鈥?/p>

Ever since Ning Shuqian announced her pregnancy, Xia Ruya had been taking the chance to stir trouble. Firstly, she and Ning Shuqian colluded against Wen Xinya. She then took the chance to move to the Wen Family home for a long stay and expose Wen Xinya鈥檚 scandal. She also coerced the Wen Family into helping her organize her coming-of-age ceremony.

Hence, Wen Xinya was incredibly thrilled about Xia Ruya鈥檚 scandal being exposed.

Wen Xinya smiled and said, 鈥淥f course it鈥檚 me. That video was taken by Xu-er during your birthday party last year. I didn鈥檛 expect that I鈥檇 be able to put it to use.鈥?/p>

She definitely would not allow Xia Ruya to harm them like that. Besides, she was best at paying others back in their own coin.

Gu Junling stared at Wen Xinya and said, 鈥淒oes your father鈥檚 scandal have something to do with you too?鈥?/p>

Wen Haowen had no idea that he had already faced his downfall, despite having already clarified the controversial news on the internet. When Wen Xinya鈥檚 scandal was exposed previously, he never once clarified things on her behalf. Now that the scandal had already affected the Wen Corporation, he instantly stood up and made clarifications. It showed just how cold and cruel he was to Wen Xinya.

The smile on Wen Xinya鈥檚 face faded and she said menacingly, 鈥淔rankly speaking, this isn鈥檛 my fault. My father was the one who sinned and gave others the chance to use him.鈥?/p>

Everyone was well aware that the Jiang Family had thrown Wen Haowen out of the Jiang Corporation office tower, and that Wen Haowen was the one who caused the Jiang Family to be in a tough predicament for the past two years. Wen Xinya had her own set of principles and she definitely wouldn鈥檛 harm her father that way. After all, there were no secrets in the circle. She would definitely be blamed if the matter got exposed.

Gu Junling stared at Wen Xinya in awe and said, 鈥淔rankly speaking, I didn鈥檛 expect that you鈥檇 make such a huge retaliation after your scandal which was blown out of proportion. You actually ruined everything and manipulated the media. Your father had no choice but to step up and clarify the rumors.鈥?/p>

He felt that Wen Xinya was always extremely intelligent and would never let herself be attacked. She would often have a hold against others and cause them immense pain.

Wen Xinya smiled and said, 鈥淭here鈥檚 no way for me to clarify my scandal, but I would be at a huge disadvantage if I were to let it continue escalating. It鈥檚 not like me to sit back and do nothing either. So, it鈥檇 be better to jeopardize it and make things worse than they already are. There鈥檒l definitely be someone who鈥檇 stand up and give an explanation.鈥?/p>

Everyone admired Wen Xinya and took their hats off to her for coming up with such a trick.

Ling Qingxuan heaved a sigh of relief and said, 鈥淚 was afraid that there might be trouble during Xinya鈥檚 coming-of-age ceremony. The thought alone gives me the chills. However, now that Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya are in deep trouble, they wouldn鈥檛 have the time to harm or plot against Xinya. Xinya can finally have peace of mind and prepare for her coming-of-age ceremony.鈥?/p>

Zhou Tianyu burst into laughter and said, 鈥淲ell said. When Xia Ruya harmed Xinya at the start, she probably didn鈥檛 expect that this day would arrive. Xia Ruya finally knows what it鈥檚 like to harm herself while trying to harm others. I wonder if her virginity test report is going to work again this time.鈥?/p>

Zhou Tianyu absolutely detested Xia Ruya, for she found her to be extremely pretentious. Beneath that angelic facade of hers, lied her vicious and cunning true colors. In fact, Xia Ruya was so much more terrifying than Ning Shuqian because she often manipulated others into harming Wen Xinya while shirking the responsibility and staying out of trouble.

Xu Tongxuan sneered with a look of disdain. 鈥淒ear, Xia Ruya is not going to understand such a profound logic. She鈥檚 uncultured. You thought too highly of her.鈥?/p>

Everyone burst into laughter. Due to her scandal, Xia Ruya had withdrawn from school.

Ling Qingxuan sighed and said, 鈥淚 wonder if Xia Ruya plans to join the entertainment industry. Given how scheming and pretentious she is, she鈥檒l definitely bag an Oscar award within a few years. Besides, she鈥檚 quite the looker as well.鈥?/p>

Such scheming women were rare.

While everyone chuckled, Wen Xinya squinted and said, 鈥淵ou鈥檙e right, Xia Ruya is so great at acting, it鈥檚 such a pity that she isn鈥檛 an actress. The entertainment industry has lost yet another potential star. What a waste!鈥?/p>

Zhou Tianyu quipped. 鈥淗er? Bagging an Oscar? You guys have overestimated her! She only deserves to be an evil villain. She鈥檒l never get to be the protagonist or the female lead.鈥?/p>

Wen Xinya laughed and said, 鈥淭he villain can also counterattack.鈥?/p>

In the previous lifetime, the villainous Xia Ruya had managed to launch a successful counterattack.

Gazing at Wen Xinya, Zhou Tianyu said, 鈥淪he must be dreaming if she thinks she can counterattack you with those incompetent tricks of hers.鈥?/p>

Wen Xinya remained silent.

Xu Tongxuan said, 鈥淓ver since the day that we were born, we have all assumed an identity that belongs to us and we鈥檙e destined to have a certain status in the circle. Money has never been an issue for us, but Xinya鈥?you have to work hard to achieve the things that others can have without putting in any effort. That includes kinship.鈥?/p>

There were plenty of incompetent people in the upper-class circle. However, they could get by and continue surviving because of the wealth and status that their powerful families had. No one would despise them even if they sponged their families for the rest of their lives. However, if Wen Xinya was not outstanding enough, she would be abandoned by the Wen Family.

The topic was a little too somber and Xu Tongxuan got the chills, feeling awkward and at a loss for words.

Wen Xinya thought about her previous lifetime and realized that that was what happened to her.

Trying to change the subject, Zhou Tianyu hurriedly said, 鈥淏y the way, how are the preparations for your coming-of-age ceremony going? Why haven鈥檛 we heard you talking about it before? I was so busy when I organized my coming-of-age ceremony. How are you having it so easy? How infuriating.鈥?/p>

Aware of their thoughts, Wen Xinya smiled and said, 鈥淭he preparations are more or less completed. However, it鈥檚 going to be an ancient-style ceremony and I haven鈥檛 been able to tell you because the processes are too complicated.鈥?/p>

Wen Xinya鈥檚 words gave everyone a great shock. Although coming-of-age ceremonies were common, ancient-style ones were rare in the city. Wen Xinya was a pioneer.

Wen Xinya smiled and said, 鈥淭ianyu, I鈥檇 like to invite you to be the tribute for my ceremony.鈥?/p>

Needless to say, Zhou Tianyu was incredibly thrilled. 鈥淎t least I didn鈥檛 dote on you for nothing. Since you鈥檝e invited me for such fun, I can鈥檛 turn you down.鈥?/p>

Xu Tongxuan said with pouting lips, 鈥淴inya, can鈥檛 you have two tributes?鈥?/p>

Amused by her reaction, Wen Xinya said smilingly, 鈥淵ou鈥檒l be a VIP guest.鈥?/p>

Xu Tongxuan applauded and said, 鈥淕reat! Xinya, you鈥檙e such a good friend!鈥?/p>

Gu Junling and Ling Qingxuan guffawed.
