Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1209 - The Beauties Compete

Chapter 1209: The Beauties Compete

Although all of the invites would usually have been given out ten days before the Heiress’ Gala, the gala was just like a talent show and hence, the invited guests would keep the gala a secret because they were afraid that the history between Ye Feiyu’s cousin and Lin Yingxin would repeat itself.

The invitation handed out by Boya Pavilion was secretive and confidential. Hence, whenever there was an Heiress’ Gala, everyone would try to investigate and find out the guest list so that they could get prepared beforehand. However, it was rare for anyone to find out any substantial information.

Meanwhile, Wen Xinya was a little unlucky to have been plotted against by Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin. As soon as she accepted the invitation, everyone found out about it. However, it was fortunate that she was not part of the circle. Hence, she rarely showcased her talents and everyone knew only a bit about her.

Likewise, she barely knew much about others.

Ye Feiyu took the opportunity to tell Wen Xinya more about the more outstanding heiresses who came from better families or were prettier. After the stroll, Wen Xinya began to feel a little more confident.

Ye Feiyu continued, “There are a total of five judges for every Heiress’ Gala, one of which would be the winner of the previous gala. The other four would be mentors from Boya Pavilion. All of the mentors from Boya Pavilion are reputable and esteemed in Capital city. They’re all proficient in the four arts and everyone respects them greatly.”

Wen Xinya listened attentively to Ye Feiyu’s words. Although the information that Old Mr. Wen had given her was rather detailed, it was not as descriptive as Ye Feiyu’s words. After listening to Ye Feiyu, she had a deeper understanding of the gala.

Just as they were in the midst of a conversation, Lin Yingxin and Xia Ruya walked towards them.

One of them was like an elegant fairy.

The other was stunningly gorgeous.

Wen Xinya had no choice but to admit that they were very outstanding, be it in terms of beauty or elegance.

Ye Feiyu took a glance at them before looking away. She secretly whispered into Wen Xinya’s ear, “Seems like they’ve put in effort into dolling themselves, but…” She burst into laughter and said with a malicious smile, “Xia Ruya’s ensemble is tackier than yours while Lin Yingxin’s fairy-like outfit makes her look cold and a little duller. When compared to you, they look so dull and unsightly like country b.u.mpkins. I wonder how jealous they are of you, deep down.”

She was looking forward to seeing how begrudging Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin would look.

Wen Xinya was a little speechless. Lin Yingxin and Xia Ruya were obviously coming for her. By whispering into Wen Xinya’s ear so blatantly, Ye Feiyu was obviously trying to provoke them.

Ye Feiyu said excitedly, “They’re coming.”

Wen Xinya suddenly felt like Ye Feiyu was just waiting to see drama happen. She isn’t here for my sake, is she? She’s just here to watch an interesting show!

Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin noticed from afar, that Wen Xinya and Ye Feiyu were having a joyous chat. Although they were standing at a distance away, Wen Xinya’s radiance still caught their eye.

At this moment, Wen Xinya was standing resplendently in front of them, appearing a little mysterious and n.o.ble. The moon was the only thing that could compete with the sun in this world, and Wen Xinya looked just like a s.h.i.+ning star.

Xia Ruya smiled and said, “Miss Wen, you’re really outstanding today. Your outfit is going to make you outs.h.i.+ne the rest of the heiresses here.”

Xia Ruya stared at the unique fabric of Wen Xinya’s blouse and immediately recognized it to be a rare and almost extinct silk that was as precious as phoenix silk. Wen Xinya actually managed to get her hands on some.

However, Xia Ruya felt that it was only right that she would be able to get the fabric since the Mo Family owned quite a fair amount of Chinese textiles.

She then s.h.i.+fted her gaze to Wen Xinya’s jewelry and accessories which she could not take her eyes off. Beeswax. She’s wearing a full set of beeswax jewelry and every piece is a rare find in this world. Every piece had been formed after miraculous changes over the span of thousands of years.

She subconsciously touched the exquisite ruby bracelet on her own wrist as she thought about the similar ruby jewelry that Wen Xinya also owned. She was rather envious of Wen Xinya for having that jewelry and hence, chose to don them for the gala this time.

She suddenly realized that she had already begun competing with Wen Xinya and comparing herself to her subconsciously. She wanted to have every piece of jewelry, clothing, shoes, and bags that Wen Xinya owned.

However, it was also at this moment that she realized that there was no way she could be on par with Wen Xinya and the unique beeswax jewelry was a perfect example of that fact. Beeswax was something that she could never get her hands on, regardless of the fact that she was the successor of the Li Family.

She suddenly felt sour about it.

Wen Xinya said coldly, “Miss Xia, you’re gorgeous like a flower today. I can’t take my eyes off you at all.”

Lin Yingxin shared the same thoughts as Xia Ruya, but her sense of jealousy was stronger than Xia Ruya’s. She realized that she had already lost to Wen Xinya before the banquet even began, at the instant that she saw Wen Xinya’s outfit and jewelry, all of which were perfectly exquisite.

Lin Yingxin tried to suppress her jealousy but to no avail. Although she was smiling, she sounded rather bitter. “I used to hear about your remarkable evolution from an unkempt girl to a glorious and outstanding phoenix. Now that I’ve seen you, you really do live up to your name.”

She sounded as if it was her first time meeting Wen Xinya. However, her remark was obviously sarcastic. Wen Xinya was indeed the center of attention lately, but most of the rumors about her were controversial.

Wen Xinya said calmly, “You flatter me, Senior Lin. No one is as resplendent as you, the winner of the last gala.”

She sounded collected and monotonous.

Lin Yingxin looked at her straight face before turning to look at Ye Feiyu, who had a derisive smirk on her face. She knew then, that Wen Xinya must have already found out what she had done to her cousin. Hence, Wen Xinya’s polite words were actually a sarcastic insult.

Lin Yingxin could not help but feel extremely angered and uncomfortable, wis.h.i.+ng she could grit her teeth.
