Chapter 295: Overcrowded with the Finest Goods

The next day was the school’s anniversary celebrations. It was held in the grand hall of the Institute from 6 P.M. to 10 P.M.—a total of four hours.
The venue was arranged in a similar way as a large-scale banquet, having all that was necessary—beverage, fruit juice, food, and mild red wine. These were usually sponsored by the families of current students, so the Institute did not spend much.
The students of the Institute streamed in and had all arrived. With beverages, fruit juices, and wines in their hands, they gathered in groups and chatted away happily, filling the place with peace and harmony.
Accompanied by Zhou Tianyu and Gu Junling, Wen Xinya entered the grand hall and actually bumped into Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue at the entrance.
Jiang Yuqian sized Wen Xinya up from head to toe. Seeing that she was merely wearing a long dress of an unknown brand and a tattered wooden chopstick on her head without any other accessories, she said with a mocking smile on her face, “Indeed, so what if one became the eldest daughter of the Wen Family—you can never change the inferior aura radiating from her bones. Unpresentable thing.”
Xia Ruxue looked at Wen Xinya in a gloating manner and said, “Although it’s only the school’s anniversary celebrations, everyone is dressed to the nines. Just look at her getup—and she’s not embarrassed to call herself the eldest daughter of the Wen Family.”
Wen Xinya looked at Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue. Both of them were wearing the latest summer gowns from Chanel with matching diamond jewelry which looked pricey. They both had nice smiles on and coupled with their similar clothes and dressing styles, looked like a gorgeous sisterly pair which attracted everyone’s attention.
Xia Ruxue shot Wen Xinya a glance, looked at the diamond necklace on Jiang Yuqian’s neck with envy, and said, “Qianqian, the diamond necklace on your neck is really pretty.”
Jiang Yuqian proudly reached her hand out, gently adjusted the diamond necklace on her chest, and looked at Wen Xinya with upturned eyes. “This necklace was bid by my father at an auction with five million yuan—its value is comparable to the Wen Family’s Star of the Sea.”
“Five million yuan, what a hefty sum—oh dear! Your father is so good to you!” Xia Ruxue widened her eyes in shock as they glistered with envy and looked towards Wen Xinya smugly.
Smiling complacently, Jiang Yuqian looked at Xia Ruxue and said, “Your bracelet isn’t too bad either—it’s a Cartier diamond chain. If I’m not mistaken, the dangling gems surrounding it should be sapphire, carnelian, as well as tourmaline—it shouldn’t be lower in value than my diamond necklace!”
Xia Ruxue’s brows raised instantly as her face filled up with pride. “This chain is purely handmade—just this chain alone costs over two million yuan. The sapphire, carnelian, and tourmaline on it were all crafted by the most professional jewelers. It’s a birthday present from my mother—I’m not sure how much it costs exactly, either.”
Wen Xinya couldn’t help but go silent for a while. On the surface, Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue looked like they were showing off, but they were actually intentionally riding on the opportunity to humiliate her!
“Psst!” Hearing them praise each other on the pretext of mocking Xinya for being unpresentable, Zhou Tianyu really couldn’t help but chuckle out loud—seemed like they were overcrowded with the finest goods.
Gu Junling looked at Zhou Tianyu helplessly and said, “Little Yu, although Miss Jiang accidentally compared her necklace to the value of the Star of the Sea ten years ago, you can’t laugh out loud—this is very impolite of you.”
Jiang Yuqian’s face swelled up with redness as she felt a sense of embarrassment. “Was I wrong—previously, on the charity dinner organized by Teacher Zhou, the Star of the Sea donated by the Wen Family had indeed fetched a price of eight million yuan—even less than that of the pink diamond earrings bid by Madam Wen.”
Zhou Tianyu laughed so hard that she almost teared. “I suggest you look up the true value of the Star of the Sea on the Internet—it’s really terrible to be ignorant.” Saying which, her gaze was fixated on the bracelet on Xia Ruxue’s wrist.
Panicking from Zhou Tianyu’s stare, Xia Ruxue instinctively hid her hand behind her back.
Wen Xinya couldn’t help but feel for her forehead, looked at Zhou Tianyu, and said, “Although Miss Xia’s bracelet doesn’t have Cartier’s diamond logo on it, you don’t have to keep staring at someone else’s hand.”
Xia Ruxue instantly felt embarrassed and couldn’t help but hide her hand behind her back even more tightly.
However, Zhou Tianyu burst out laughing. “She said that it’s a Cartier bracelet herself, so I’m guessing that she was probably tricked! That’s why I couldn’t help but give it a few more looks. However, that diamond is real.”
Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue looked extremely embarrassed as they stared at Wen Xinya and said, “You still have the face to comment about us—from top to toe, you’re worth less than a few thousand yuan in total! Your stinginess simply disgraces the Wen Family.”
“Psst!” Once again, Zhou Tianyu couldn’t help but chuckle out loud. “Hahahaha. This tickles me so badly. Call yourselves daughters of wealthy families with this taste.”
Gu Junling also suppressed his laughter and said, “You can’t blame Miss Xia and Miss Jiang, either. After all, not everyone can tell that the chopstick on Xinya’s head is a five hundred-years-old yellow rosewood chopstick—a single tattered wooden chopstick can already more than match their getup from head to toe added together.”
Jiang Yuqian suddenly widened her eyes and said, “How is this possible!”
Xia Ruxue was also extremely stunned. “This is obviously just a tattered piece of wood! Actually dare to say that it’s a five hundred-years-old yellow rosewood—you’re probably lying! In any case, even if it’s yellow rosewood, it’s merely wood—how can it be more valuable than diamonds and gemstones.”
Wen Xinya gently touched the yellow rosewood chopstick on her head. “You can go and ask Xia Ruya—she should know that my Grandma gifted me such a precious set of wooden accessories. By the way, you can also ask about the value of yellow rosewood—see if it’s more valuable than diamonds and gemstones.”
Now, it was already not up to Xia Ruxue and Jiang Yuqian to doubt it. Their faces alternated between turning green, white, and red—presented wonderfully like a palette.
Finding it fun, Zhou Tianyu purposely said, “Not sure if the both of you have heard about the Henry Poole Family?”
Gu Junling and Wen Xinya looked at Zhou Tianyu and couldn’t help but shake their heads helplessly.
Xia Ruxue and Jiang Yuqian’s faces looked puzzled.
Zhou Tianyu looked at them solemnly and said, “You can go and ask Xia Ruya—she definitely knows.”
Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue wished that they could dig up a hole and bury themselves in it—Zhou Tianyu was outrightly mocking them for being ignorant and having bad taste.
“Let’s go!” said Wen Xinya in a low voice, looking at Zhou Tianyu.
Zhou Tianyu shook her head and purposely said out loud as she walked away, “Gosh, actually can’t even identify such a precious wood like yellow rosewood, don’t even know about Cartier’s diamond logo and even the Henry Poole Family. Still dare to call themselves the daughters of wealthy families—even I feel ashamed for them.”
Wen Xinya smiled and said, “One of them is an unofficial illegitimate daughter and the other is a pretty lady from a humble background. Why do you bother with them—belittling your status for no reason.”
Following closely behind them and ready to enter the hall, Xia Ruxue and Jiang Yuqian were so outraged that their eyes reddened as they wished that they could go up and tear Wen Xinya and Zhou Tianyu’s damned mouths apart.
