Chapter 1238: Bombarding the Owner of Boya Pavilion

Chapter 1238: Bombarding the Owner of Boya Pavilion


Wen Xinya stared at Xia Ruya, who was currently in her most disheveled state. Even when Ning Shuqian’s false pregnancy was exposed during Wen Xinya’s coming-of-age ceremony and when Xia Ruya was disowned by both the Wen Family and Xia Family, Wen Xinya had never seen her looking so pathetic before.


Xia Ruya was just a greedy animal that could never be satisfied. She would never know what exactly she wanted and when it was enough. Yet, she insisted on wanting everything. Hence… she would never be content and she would have endless desires.


Xia Ruya was extremely pampered and spoiled. She had put herself on a pedestal and felt that the world revolved around her. She felt the need to be the most outstanding one and hence, she brazenly manipulated everyone as and when she pleased. At the same time, she was also rather self-righteous and felt that nothing she did would ever be wrong. The problem would forever lie with others and she would never be at fault. Meanwhile, she also had a twisted mind and often victimized herself into thinking that the entire world owed her a living and that everyone was indebted to her. She would resort to all means to get what she wanted.


She was self-centered and selfish, so much that she would never consider things from the perspective of others.


Wen Xinya looked away calmly and slowly entered the porch. Standing in front of the owner, Wen Xinya gibed. “Madam, thank you for inviting me to the gala today. It is my utmost pleasure and honor to be here. However, something unfortunate occurred today and I even got implicated despite being an innocent party. Please give me an explanation, Madam.”


Wen Xinya decided not to be kind to anyone involved, regardless of whether the owner had taken part in Xia Ruya’s scheme or not. After all, the owner was the host and the organizer of the gala and hence, she ought to be liable for everything that happened during the gala.


Not to mention, the matter involved Xia Ruya poisoning others.


The tea and snacks were all provided by Boya Pavilion, and the fact that Xia Ruya could dauntlessly spike the food and tea simply meant that the owner was more or less involved.


Despite being aware of the plan, the owner did not stop Xia Ruya at all. Although she did not directly harm anyone, she already harbored ill intentions in the first place.


The owner of Boya Pavilion did not expect Wen Xinya to question her in front of everyone else. Although her emotions were hidden beneath her mask, she was still exuding a dominant and commanding aura. She retorted sternly. “Miss Wen, what do you mean? Are you trying to question me? May I ask, what rights do you have to question me?”


As the owner, she had a strong sense of pride and authority. Besides, she was also Wen Xinya’s elder and hence, she did not take Wen Xinya’s provoking question seriously. She felt that she would have lived her life in vain if she could not even deal with a greenhorn la.s.s.


If even the true victim of the incident, Lin Yingxin, did not bombard her and question her, what rights did Wen Xinya have to do so?


Wen Xinya smiled calmly and remained composed despite being faced with the stern and austere owner. “You’re making it sound too serious, Madam. I wouldn’t dare to question you at all. I just wanted to ask you a question.”


The owner glared at Wen Xinya coldly and exclaimed, “Go ahead!”


Wen Xinya said, “Madam, you’re the owner of Boya Pavilion, the venue where the gala is hosted. Yet, something like this happened. Doesn’t that mean that you, the venue, and the gala have something to do with it?”


The owner did not expect to have been stunned speechless by Wen Xinya. “Boya Pavilion definitely has to bear some responsibility. I don’t need you to remind me, Miss Wen.”


Wen Xinya s.h.i.+fted her gaze onto the heiresses before saying, “Madam, the gala is an event that has been recurring for several years in Capital city, where talents and skills are showcased. The ladies here have all decided to attend the gala because of your reputation as well as that of Boya Pavilion and the gala. Now that someone has been poisoned during the gala, how am I supposed to feel, Madam?


“Madam, it’s your fault for failing to manage and host the event well, and your staff is to blame too. In that case, shouldn’t you be giving all of us here a reasonable explanation? I just want an explanation, but you think that I’m questioning you for your mistake. You’re really scaring me, Madam.”


The owner of Boya Pavilion had never been questioned by anyone throughout her life before. Exasperated, she retorted. “Miss Wen, you’re right, I do have to bear the responsibility for what happened, but you’re exaggerating! Who are you to decide the truth behind the poisoning incident? We still need evidence to find out the truth.”


Lin Yingxin had only said those words in deranged state and Xia Ruya had never once admitted to spiking the tea and food.


Wen Xinya’s smile stiffened and she retorted. “Madam, are you asking me for evidence? In that case, I shall tell you more in detail.”


After witnessing Wen Xinya splas.h.i.+ng wine onto Xia Ruya, the owner of Boya Pavilion knew that Wen Xinya was not to be trifled with. “Miss Wen, you’ve got the wrong idea. What I meant was, regardless of whether Lin Yingxin’s claims are true or not, we still have to give the innocent you and all the other ladies here an explanation.”


At the end of the day, the owner had been roaming around the upper-cla.s.s society for decades and was incredibly shrewd in playing mind games and resorting to scheming tricks.


Wen Xinya nodded and exclaimed, “You’re right, Madam!”


The owner continued, “However, this incident happened during the gala organized by Boya Pavilion and we’re responsible for finding out the truth. There’s no reason to stain our reputation because of this. Otherwise, how am I supposed to continue hosting the gala in many more years to come?”


She sounded haughty and self-righteous and even managed to turn the situation around. However, she did make sense and Boya Pavilion indeed should not be shouldering the burden of everything.


Wen Xinya nodded in agreement and gibed. “You’re right, Madam. But I don’t believe you.”


Greatly taken aback, the owner questioned, “Miss Wen, what do you mean?”


Wen Xinya and the owner made eye contact. She then said, “Lin Yingxin once mentioned that you and Miss Xia are on close terms with each other and you didn’t deny it either. Clearly, Lin Yingxin was speaking the truth. In that case, how can you guarantee that you wouldn’t be biased towards Miss Xia when handling this matter?”


As soon as Wen Xinya said those words, everyone gasped. Clearly, they were all reminded of something after hearing her words.


The owner of Boya Pavilion flew into a rage and said, “Miss Wen, I do know Miss Xia, but…”


Wen Xinya scanned her surroundings and interjected. “I believe, I’m not the only one who has these qualms. The ladies probably are in doubt, too.”
