Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1226 - Taking the Opportunity to Make a Comeback

Chapter 1226: Taking the Opportunity to Make a Comeback

What’s wrong with Lin Yingxin? She looks like she’s been possessed by a demon.
Wen Xinya’s heart sank and she was overwhelmed with a bizarre and inexplicable feeling which was concentrated in her brain.
At the same time, she was also thinking about everything rapidly. To her knowledge, Lin Yingxin’s greedy and scheming nature was what got her this far. She was just as hypocritical and pretentious as Xia Ruya, who would hide all of her tricks and conceal her true colors beneath a gentle and innocent facade.
The gala is the most important thing to Lin Yingxin now and her goal is to use the second gala to get what she wants. How could a woman like her lose control of her emotions just because she lost the talent showdown?
Du Ruoxin is really strange, too. Why did she have to remind me to look at Lin Yingxin?
Does she know something? Or is there another reason?
In order to plot against her, Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin tampered with her snacks and tea, but there are no other clues at all. What are they trying to do?
What drug did they add to my tea and snacks?
Wen Xinya hung her head low and looked at the tea and snacks in front of her. It was as if all of the secrets were covered by the new set of snacks.
She finally knew why Xia Ruya, Lin Yingxin, and the host were so brazen with spiking her tea and snacks.
Reason being, they had a way to destroy all evidence of their schemes and leave her with no choice but to accept it.
Wen Xinya rubbed her forehead, feeling extremely overwhelmed.
Du Ruoxin stared at her pale face and said, “You don’t look any better than Lin Yingxin.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she decided not to talk to Wen Xinya anymore. She focused on eating her snacks and enjoying her tea as if it had nothing to do with her at all.
Wen Xinya took a deep breath and forced herself to sober up. She then glanced at Du Ruoxin and asked, “Is there something you know?”
She asked the question directly, with no intentions to hide anything at all, for she knew that Du Ruoxin had always liked being straightforward and hated pretentious people.
Du Ruoxin held onto her teacup and answered without looking up, “So what if there is and so what if there isn’t? I won’t tell you, anyway.”
Wen Xinya suppressed her anger, infuriated by Du Ruoxin’s answer. She snapped. “You’re being so extra.”
Wen Xinya admitted that she had a bad temper, but she felt that she had good tolerance. However, she seemed to have lost all control of her own emotions in front of Du Ruoxin. This woman… never failed to make you lose your tolerance.
Du Ruoxin sneered. “You’re just angry!”
Wen Xinya took a deep breath and thought to herself, I really can’t communicate with her at all.
She turned away and ignored her.
However, Du Ruoxin was the type to be self-righteous. “You’re so easily affected.”
Wen Xinya repeatedly tried to convince herself not to get angry and just ignore Du Ruoxin. She had never let someone else outargue her before, though Si Yiyan was obviously an exception. However, Si Yiyan had never mocked her sarcastically.
Du Ruoxin snorted with laughter, seemingly thrilled to see Wen Xinya suppressing her anger and swallowing her pride. It was as if she derived joy from the misfortune of others.
The gala was still ongoing. However, the performances for the rest of the event seemed rather uninteresting and paled in comparison to Wen Xinya’s.
There were also a few other outstanding girls. However, they did not seem that special compared to Wen Xinya.
By half-past three, barely anyone else performed and the gala was about to draw to a close.
At this moment, Lin Yingxin laughed meekly, no longer appearing as demonic as she was just now. “Today’s gala is really interesting. Why don’t we invite Miss Xia to perform her floral tea-brewing techniques now?”
Ever since she lost the showdown, Xia Ruya had been sitting on the couch and hanging her head low. She finally raised her head to reveal her pale face, appearing weak and pitiful in a rose cardigan.
Since I lost to Wen Xinya just now, I must make a comeback. Otherwise, there’ll be no way I can continue staying in Capital city.
However, the heiresses did not say anything, and only a few responded. It was as if they did not hear her at all.
Xia Ruya turned even paler and suddenly felt extremely awkward.
Lin Yingxin’s heart skipped a beat and she explained, “Floral tea originated in the Song Dynasty, began becoming popular in Ming Dynasty and peaked during the Qing Dynasty. It’s a unique tea-brewing technique of our nation. However, with the passing of time, this unique tea-brewing technique has also gradually decreased in popularity. Floral tea is one of the cultural treasures of China and the technique that Miss Xia possesses originated from the Song Dynasty. Not only is it graceful, but it’s also very stunning and worth a look.”
Xia Ruya bit her lips and stared at the pavilion.
At this moment, the host laughed and said, “Tea brewing is widely used in healthcare while floral tea-brewing is part of the culture. Floral tea offers a variety of health benefits and there are even some that may help ward against illnesses or cure illnesses. It sounds amazing. Let’s have Miss Xia perform for us.”
The judges expressed their interest after hearing the host’s words.
Xia Ruya stood up and put on a smile, which made her look like a unique and pretty plum. “In that case, I’ll embarrass myself.”
Xia Ruya stepped up onto the porch.
Wen Xinya was not surprised at all. Xia Ruya had always valued reputation and loved stealing the limelight. Since her reputation had already been ruined, she obviously would try her best to perform well during the gala so as to clear her name and redeem herself.
She had also lost terribly during the showdown. Given her character, she definitely wouldn’t stop at that. Making a comeback was what she would do.
She stared at the host subtly with an ambiguous expression.
