Chapter 1782: How Could You Not Collect Any Interest?
Wen Xinya was being very obvious about the fact that she felt that she was worth much more than a high-grade box of tea. She looked at the owner of the Boya Pavilion and stared at her with provocative eyes.
The owner of Boya Pavilion felt a stifling feeling in her chest and her jaws tightened. Even if she was wearing a mask, it would not be hard to imagine how vexed she felt right now. Wen Xinya stated that she was worth more than a billion, and thus, a box of high-grade tea would seem too stingy, causing her to be embarra.s.sed.
She clearly wanted her to be angry.
“Good tea must be paired with good accessories such that they can complement each other. I’ve kept a set of the Song Dynasty’s Azure Ruku tea set, I shall give it to Miss Wen. Hope Miss Wen don’t brush me off.”
Ruku was one of the best porcelain in Country Z, made using precious agate. The method of burning such a precious item had already been lost, and the Ruku sets that were left in recent times were all of private possession.
And her set of Azure Ruku was clear as day and as beautiful as jade, with intricate and elegant designs, and could be considered an extremely rare item.
This was her most treasured collection.
However, Wen Xinya was clearly not settling for anything less, and she was unable to handle her demands. To prevent any trouble, she had to give her the best that she had.
Wen Xinya’s eyes sparkled as she stared at the Ruku tea set. She already coveted her Grampy’s Ruku set for many years already and never expected she could have one of her own as well. “Owner, since you’re so willing and kind, I shall not reject your kind offer. Thank you for your generosity.”
Wen Xinya indeed had the idea of getting as much as she could from the owner of Boya Pavilion but did not expect that she would present her with such an important item.
The entire Ruku tea set was priceless. Back then Xia Ruya coveted her Mother’s Ruku flower vase, which was then smashed into pieces by her. Only afterwards did she realize that it was such an expensive item.
However, Grandpa made it up to her with a Ruku lotus bowl.
That bowl was still displayed in her room in her collection.
“Miss Wen, as long as you like it.”
The owner of Boya Pavilion looked at the bright smile on her face. Her piercing gaze caused her throat to itch and her chest to tighten, and she immediately regretted not putting further thought into just letting go of her Ruku tea set.
In her collection, there were many sets of other precious goods, and she even had antiques and books that were worth a lot. How did she end up giving out her favorite set of Ruku?
Zhou Huiyan announced, “The gala is about to start!”
She knew that the owner of Boya Pavilion had some important and expensive items in her collection, but she never expected her to give up her Ruku tea set to Wen Xinya just like that.
Thinking about it carefully, she more or less understood that she did not want much more to do with Wen Xinya.
After all, Wen Xinya was not someone easy to deal with, and if they really argued, the one to lose her face would be Boya Pavilion.
Her sentence broke through the stale atmosphere.
Boya Pavilion’s owner said, “It’s almost time, I shall go down now.”
She then stood up to leave the pavilion.
Not only was she embarra.s.sed by a junior, but she also felt emotionally unstable at that point, so she had to leave quickly, before Wen Xinya played anymore tricks on her.
Wen Xinya was not a good person at heart.

After Boya Pavilion’s owner left, there was only Zhou Huiyan and Wen Xinya left on the pavilion, and the atmosphere became less tense.
Zhou Huiyan looked at her, her eyes full of admiration, and wanted to say something, but she found herself speechless at that moment. “You, you… I don’t even know what to say about you.”
In the world, other than Wen Xinya, there was no one else who was as self-indulgent.
For Wen Xinya to cause the owner of Boya Pavilion to be at a loss still surprised her.
Wen Xinya ate the delicacies on the table. “She made use of me like this, how could I not collect any interest?”
She was right, and she sounded even more righteous.
Thinking about how Boya Pavilion owner’s hands were secretly trembling on her knees earlier on, she felt joyful.
Although the tea and Ruku tea set were all material items, the way she talked to the owner of Boya Pavilion made her realize that she was not someone easy to deal with, and the owner of Boya Pavilion could tell what she meant. Hence, she dealt with her in a fast and straightforward manner to avoid complications.
“The owner of Boya Pavilion seems to be gentle and generous, but she’s quite narrow-minded. You made her lose face earlier on, so she probably will not let this go. You had better be careful next time since it’s easy to protect yourself from your enemies but not from an unexpected foe.”
Although Zhou Huiyan was not too close to the owner of Boya Pavilion, she still knew a little about her.
The owner of Boya Pavilion had much more depth and power than she imagined, so she felt a little worried for Xinya.
Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”
The Korean-Chinese Alliance Alliance had already made moves on the Wen Family, but there was no reason to be at their mercy.
Zhou Huiyan looked at how confident she was and did not press on the issue. After all, when they were at someone else’s place, they had better be more careful.
Looking at the area in front, the rich ladies attending the gala gathered in groups of two and three, and it did not seem to be a bustling scene. She then thought back to when she first joined the gala.
It had been too long ago, so her memories were not very clear.
“The owner of Boya Pavilion’s snacks are really quite nice, you should try it!” Wen Xinya was drinking tea while eating snacks and really did not care about much else.
The owner of Boya Pavilion’s snacks always had something special about it.
Zhou Huiyan shook her head and just drank tea.
Wen Xinya happily ate. “I wonder how these snacks are made. When I go back later, I’ll be sure to ask her for a dome.”
Zhou Huiyan exasperatedly said, “You must be too fond of making enemies!”
She could imagine how terrible the owner of Boya Pavilion would feel if Wen Xinya actually asked her for some snacks.
Wen Xinya disapprovingly said, “She was so willing to give up her Ruku tea set, I’m sure she would not mind giving up some snacks.”
She said this quite loudly.
Not far away, the owner of Boya Pavilion, who was walking towards them while talking to someone, suddenly halted and stopped talking.
Clearly, she heard what Wen Xinya said.
What she said was just like a pin in her eyes, and she felt that it was full of mockery and sarcasm.
“Miss, is there anything else you would like me to do?” Her helper did not hear anything at all and could not help but ask her.
The owner of Boya Pavilion coldly said, “Not as of now, you may leave!”
Her voice was angry and domineering, as her hidden emotions were peaking at that moment. It was all because of Wen Xinya that she felt so horrible as if she was being stabbed.
Her helper was stunned speechless and left hurriedly.
