Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 942 - Dimwit Who Never Gets Anything Done Right

Chapter 942: Dimwit Who Never Gets Anything Done Right

Si Yiyan pressed his lips tightly together with a gloomy and petulant expression, appearing much more menacing because of the golden dragon mask. The dragon looked extremely arrogant and condescending, with a formidable aura that was not to be trifled with.
Dragons were said to be invincible in Chinese mythologies and it was a representative of endless prestige and power. It was a Chinese cultural symbol. Dragons were extremely daunting and full of danger.
It was Rex’s symbol.
Duke Moville was rather respectful and intimidated by Rex.
At this moment, Gu Yuehan suddenly said, “Earlier on, Miss Avrora constantly taunted Miss Bella into an equestrian competition and Miss Bella tried to turn her down countless times, but to no avail. At last, she had no choice but to agree to compete with her. Miss Avrora was behaving peculiarly and I was worried about Miss Bella, so I took a video recording of the competition. You’ll find out the truth after watching the video.”
He initially recorded the competition simply because he felt that Wen Xinya was way too awesome. However, he did not expect that it would come in hand at such a juncture.
Si Yiyan’s lips curled into a faint and cold smirk. “Gu Yuehan, show Duke Moville the video so that we can find out the truth.”
Si Yiyan hugged Wen Xinya and leaned back against the chair sluggishly and nonchalantly. He was just like a dormant beast waiting to lose his temper, exuding a dangerous and threatening vibe.
Wen Xinya was almost resting her entire body weight on his chest. Listening to his heartbeat, her heart scrunched up.
On the other hand, Duke Moville was stuck in a difficult predicament and he broke out into cold sweat.
Although Duke Moville was a Russian aristocrat who did not have to fear Rex at all, the latter was way too formidable. The very first move that he pulled had rendered Duke Moville helpless, for he had already lost the rights to be in dominance. He had no choice but to be at Si Yiyan’s beck and call. As a result, he became submissive and was at Si Yiyan’s mercy, for he no longer had a say in anything.
Si Yiyan was an expert at negotiations and he could manipulate and subdue someone without them realizing.
Gu Yuehan immediately connected his tablet and played the video.
Wen Xinya was seen riding Blazing Flame as it galloped furiously while she leaned back and whipped it with the whip that she was gripping tightly in her hand, after which Blazing Flame darted forward like an arrow.
For the first five minutes, Wen Xinya was in control of the situation and it was as if she had become one with the horse. She was full of splendor and energy.
Si Yiyan was surprised by her impressive horseback riding skills.
To his knowledge, Wen Xinya met Xu Zhenyu sometime after she met Si Yiyan and, although there was a period of time that she had been close to Xu Zhenyu, Xu Zhenyu soon left for the military. If she had not been practicing horseback riding for a prolonged period of time, it would be impossible for her to be so impressive.
Throughout the past two years, he knew Wen Xinya’s life at the back of his hand and, although she did have some secrets, he had never probed about them or made her reveal them to him. However, he was certain that she must have been practicing horseback riding for more than two years.
Could it be that she had started before she returned to the Wen Family?
Previously, he deliberately rushed back from Italy to help Old Mr. Mo verify if he had truly found his biological granddaughter after hearing the news. He did not want him to be hurt any further.
However, he did not manage to find out about any horseback riding experiences before reuniting with the Wen Family. Hence, he could not help but wonder, Could there be something that I don’t know? She has too many secrets.
“Miss Bella’s horseback riding skills are indeed very impressive.” Blazing Flame was the best horse in the entire racecourse and after some taming and training, it was still difficult to tame. He did not expect that Wen Xinya would be able to control it and even win the race. Avrora was nowhere comparable to her.
At this moment, Wen Xinya was already right next to Avrora’s horse in the video and Avrora whipped Wen Xinya, who then leaned backward and dodged the attack. However, her arm was still hit by the whip.
Gu Yuehan’s videography skills were commendable, and he managed to conceal Wen Xinya’s actions of whipping Avrora’s horse by adjusting the camera angle. Hence, in the eyes of the audience, Wen Xinya was merely whipping her own horse.
In the video, Avrora’s horse indeed stopped running and began throwing a tantrum.
Hence, the truth was already out and it was apparent that Avrora had harmed Wen Xinya in order to win the competition.
Duke Moville had already lost the right to say anything to Si Yiyan.
Si Yiyan sneered. “Duke Moville, would you like to get Miss Avrora to come here and question her? It would be bad if you come up with more excuses.”
He did not spare him any face value at all and was obviously out to stir conflict.
Although Duke Moville felt a little guilty, he felt that Si Yiyan was going overboard by questioning him in such a hostile manner all because of a woman. A little displeased, he said, “Avrora has hurt Miss Bella and that’s indeed our fault. I hereby apologize to you and Miss Bella, Rex. I’ll definitely punish Avrora and give Miss Bella an explanation. Besides, we’ll also compensate Miss Bella for her losses.”
That silly Avrora. So what if she loses? There’s no need to make things so ugly. She used to be smart, sensible and shrewd. However, it seems she’s nothing more than a dimwit who’d lose her rationality because of a man.
Now that Rex has such a poor impression towards Avrora, it would be even harder to make him marry her.
She’s just a dimwit who never does anything right.
Si Yiyan pursed his lips and remained silent.
Duke Moville ordered his servant. “Relay my orders to the rest and give Avrora three lashes of the whip before grounding her for a month. She will be denied allowance for three months too. The punishment will commence immediately.”
The servant immediately did as instructed.
Duke Moville glanced at Wen Xinya benevolently and said, “Miss Bella, you seem to be a scholarly girl from China. I have a volume from Wang Xi. It’s considered to be a precious collection. I hereby present it to you as a gift.”
It was his most prized possession out of all the items in his collection, and he obviously was reluctant to give it away. However, he had no choice but to placate Rex since Avrora was the one who made the mistake first.
