Chapter 1254: The Power of Fans
Capital city was way too large and there was plenty of fresh news every day. Hence, no one would really remember Xia Ruya’s scandals. The past scandals that she was involved in, had all died down when she left for Capital city for a few months.
Although she had a bad reputation in Capital city, didn’t they always say that to err was human?
As long as Xia Ruya gave herself a new image and put her ident.i.ty as the Li Family’s successor to good use, she’d definitely secure a footing in the upper-cla.s.s society.
Hence, Xia Ruya thought that she would be able to return to Capital city with great confidence after becoming the successor of the Li Family. However, Du Ruoxin decided not to let her have her way.
She decided to shame and taint her reputation again and again.
Xia Ruya would never be able to clear her name.
Hence, she secretly recorded the conversation between Lin Yingxin and Xia Ruya, just so she could give Xia Ruya a huge blow after the banquet ended.
Being extremely intelligent, Du Ruoxin knew that the owner of Boya Pavilion did not quite make an issue out of the fact that Xia Ruya had plotted against Wen Xinya. Hence, the news was drowned out by Wen Xinya’s glory.
Hence, Du Ruoxin had also guessed that Wen Xinya would be attacking Xia Ruya next and so, decided to hand the evidence over to Wen Xinya.
However, was Du Ruoxin just out to watch an interesting show this time? Or was there any other reason?
Wen Xinya decided to cast those thoughts away and look for Liu Yanhua.
Liu Yanhua played the voice recording of Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin discussing their plan to harm Wen Xinya during the gala. “Where did this come from?”
Wen Xinya briefly told Liu Yanhua about Du Ruoxin.
Liu Yanhua hesitated silently for a moment before saying, “This Du Ruoxin is really interesting.”
Most people wouldn’t bring a recorder around with them, and even if they were to overhear a conspiracy, they wouldn’t think much about it and simply treat it casually. Who would think of recording it!?!
Wen Xinya nodded and agreed. “Well, but I owe her another favor now.”
Although Du Ruoxin had given her a hand during the gala, she could credit it to Si Yiyan’s communications with the Du Family. However, Du Ruoxin was obviously giving her a huge favor today by giving her that recording.
If she were to turn Du Ruoxin down…
Du Ruoxin wouldn’t allow her to do so, anyway.
Liu Yanhua said, “It’s okay to owe her a favor. Who knows if you’d have the chance to return it in the future? Du Ruoxin may seem unapproachable and unfriendly, but you can forge some ties with her.”
Liu Yanhua could actually understand what Wen Xinya was thinking. Since she was a bystander, she could definitely see the bigger picture. Although Wen Xinya kept her guard up against Du Ruoxin, she had never felt disgusted towards Du Ruoxin.
Most importantly, Wen Xinya would never hide her emotions when she was with Du Ruoxin, because she knew that the latter was too prideful to harm anyone.
She had already approved of Du Ruoxin.
Both of them were prideful and arrogant. Du Ruoxin expressed her pride through her words while Wen Xinya kept her arrogance to herself.
However, since the two of them were extremely prideful, they wouldn’t be willing to trust each other easily. Hence, they both admired each other but remained aloof and wary.
Wen Xinya rubbed her forehead, realizing that she often felt conflicted when it came to Du Ruoxin. “You’re right, I must have been possessed. I have a feeling that I’ll be facing Du Ruoxin a lot more in the future. There’ll definitely be a chance to get to know her better.”
Previously, she had been keeping her guard up against Du Ruoxin and hence, could not get along with her naturally. Actually, after she got her mindset straight, she felt that it was not that difficult to get along with Du Ruoxin.
Liu Yanhua smiled and changed the subject. “After my intentional manipulation, plenty of your die-hard fans have s.h.i.+fted their attention to the post published by Boya Pavilion, regarding the matter about Xia Ruya poisoning the food. Many of your sharp-witted fans have also sensed that the matter is not as simple as it seems. They’ve also begun investigating it.”
Thanks to Liu Yanhua, Wen Xinya now had plenty of fans who supported her greatly on various famous discussion forums in the city. Most of the reputable heiresses of the upper-cla.s.s society all had such fan clubs, though only a few could be on par with Wen Xinya. Reason being, Wen Xinya’s life was interesting and eventful. Besides, she was also frank, candid, grounded and possessed all of the qualities of a G.o.ddess.
Most importantly, she had a legendary evolution from a gangster to a resplendent heiress, which served as a form of motivation for plenty of people. They all felt that she was not highly mighty and was instead rather down to earth and personable, unlike most wealthy heiresses.
Wen Xinya said, “Although it’s no secret amongst the heiresses, Boya Pavilion has always kept a low profile and they would definitely remain tight-lipped about the scandal. What can the fans possibly find out?”
Liu Yanhua said calmly, “Xinya, don’t ever underestimate the power and capabilities of your fans. Sometimes, they’re even more resourceful than reporters.”
It was the reason Liu Yanhua insisted on managing her fan club.
Wen Xinya nodded. She did not belittle her fans who practically wors.h.i.+ped her, and she knew better than anyone how powerful their faith could be.
Liu Yanhua continued, “Once Xia Ruya’s misdeeds are exposed, we’ll post the video clip of what she did during the gala on the internet. When that happens, the fans will definitely react agitatedly and we’ll then post the conversation on the internet and ruin Xia Ruya’s reputation. It’ll be a piece of cake.”
Liu Yanhua absolutely detested Xia Ruya.
Wen Xinya said, “You may arrange this as you deem fit. Even if Xia Ruya returns to Capital city, she won’t be posing a threat to me. Xia Ruya has yet to come to terms with reality and truly realize the distance between me and her. Her status as the Li Family’s successor can’t make up for it, either.”
Wen Xinya’s best quality was not her status as the Wen Family’s successor, but rather, it was the experience, reputation, and network of connections that she had gained for herself after she returned to the Wen Family home.
Xia Ruya had once possessed all of those. However, she would never get to earn them back again!
