Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1235 - Things Are Getting Interesting

Chapter 1235: Things Are Getting Interesting

Xia Ruya’s explanation began to sound more convincing because it was logical and reasonable. She first twisted the logic to defend herself before pointing out the fact that they did not have any evidence. Lastly, she chose to play the sympathy card and make herself seem like the victim. She was certain that most people would believe that she was innocent, and even those who had suspected her would definitely give the matter some more thought.
All of a sudden, she managed to turn the situation around and defended herself.
Everyone was momentarily speechless.
She had no choice but to admit that Xia Ruya was indeed good at defending herself.
Xia Ruya knew that she had already gotten herself out of trouble and was no longer seen as the culprit. Tears welled up in her eyes and she said, “I really didn’t poison anyone. I swear with all my heart.”
Xia Ruya sounded rather sincere and she looked extremely pitiful.
Wen Xinya sneered and thought to herself, She swears? Swearing only works on those who believe in it. Swearing is something that one would do for the sake of showing others. Xia Ruya is evil and selfish, and all she does is plot against others. Can she really be trusted?
At this moment, Xia Ruya stared at Wen Xinya sincerely and said, “Miss Wen, I really didn’t poison you. Please believe me.”
Wen Xinya was the main character in this incident and hence, there was no way she could shirk the responsibility. Regardless of whether Wen Xinya believed her or not, there would be no way she could accuse Xia Ruya as long as there was no evidence.
If Wen Xinya doesn’t believe me, she’ll have to come up with evidence to support her claims. If Wen Xinya can’t come up with any evidence, she’ll just be framing me like Lin Yingxin.
If Wen Xinya believes me, I would never be suspected as a culprit. After all, Wen Xinya is involved in this matter. If she believes me, everyone else will have no reason to doubt me.
If Wen Xinya remains silent, that would mean that she’s silently admitting that she has no evidence. Once Wen Xinya accepts my explanation, everyone will choose to believe me.
Xia Ruya had resorted to playing mind games and manipulated everyone’s mind.
Hence, whatever Wen Xinya did would be advantageous to Xia Ruya.
Ye Feiyu gritted her teeth and cursed angrily. “This woman is really atrocious and wicked.”
Du Ruoxin remained seated and sipped on some tea with a derisive smirk on her lips. She was waiting to see how Wen Xinya would deal with the trap that Xia Ruya had laid for her.
Wen Xinya walked towards Xia Ruya and laughed sinisterly and sarcastically. She suddenly yelled, “Waiter!”
Wen Xinya’s sudden approach made Xia Ruya tense up immediately as she stiffened her back and kept her guard up.
Everyone was clueless as to what Wen Xinya was planning to do. What did this have to do with the waiter!?!
One of the waitresses frantically stepped forth and asked, “Miss Wen, do you have any orders for me?”
Wen Xinya stared at Xia Ruya and smiled radiantly. “I need plenty of tea. Wine will do too. Of course… if Boya Pavilion can’t bear to serve me wine, water will work as well.”
The waitress was bewildered.
Everyone was equally puzzled. Some even thought that Wen Xinya had gone crazy because of how angered she was by Xia Ruya.
Even Xia Ruya could not help but become perplexed. However, she was filled with a sudden sense of uneasiness which reminded her that Wen Xinya was up to no good.
Ye Feiyu turned to look at Du Ruoxin before asking, “What do you think Xinya is getting up to?”
Du Ruoxin smirked and gibed. “Are you asking me? Do I know you very well?”
Ye Feiyu was infuriated by her answer. Feeling like she couldn’t communicate with Du Ruoxin at all, Ye Feiyu looked away.
However, Du Ruoxin peculiarly liked going against the wishes of others. Seeing that Ye Feiyu had begun ignoring her, she purposely said, “No matter what she’s up to, just know that… there’ll be an interesting show to watch later.”
Ye Feiyu pouted and thought to herself, I obviously know that!
Soon, the waitress entered with a tray of six three-quarter-filled glasses of wine which glowed beautifully under the light like red rubies.
They were almost running out of tea, but they still had enough wine to serve.
The waitress stood beside Wen Xinya.
“You guys are really generous. You actually served me with Cabernet Sauvignon from Bordeaux. It’s such a rare gem,” Wen Xinya said while wrapping three fingers around the stem of the glass. The fairness of her fingers complemented the beautiful win and created an alluring imagery. She swirled the glass gently in her hand while the mesmerizing aroma of wine filled the air. It was like the most refined scent she had ever smiled.
Xia Ruya stared at her, completely unaware of what tricks she was getting up to. She refused to believe that Wen Xinya was still in the mood for wine at this juncture.
Gently swirling the glass of wine, Wen Xinya smiled and questioned, “So what if I believe you and so what if I don’t?”
Xia Ruya stared blankly at Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya’s outfit accentuated her elegance and made her glow like a moon. The full set of beeswax jewelry made her look a little mysterious too.
She stood rooted to the ground quietly, exuding a commanding and domineering aura which was neither dull nor blinding.
Due to the close proximity, Xia Ruya could smell the aroma of the wine.
Wen Xinya questioned coldly, “You want to know whether I believe you or not, don’t you?”
She sounded calm and composed, as if there was no emotion within her and as if she was just stating a fact.
However, Xia Ruya refused to believe it. She took a step back, feeling anxious and flustered because of Wen Xinya’s aura.
Wen Xinya exclaimed, “Xia Ruya, I’ll tell you my answer through my actions!”
She then picked up the glass of wine and splashed it onto Xia Ruya.
Xia Ruya did not expect that Wen Xinya would do that to her in public. She froze in shock and stood rooted to the ground. The astonishment seemed to have robbed her of her senses. The fragrant and alluring liquid blurred her vision and caused her to feel a stinging pain in her wounds. The dried blood on her face was washed away by the wine and she looked extremely horrifying.
However, that was not all.
Wen Xinya continued!
She splashed the second glass, then the third, the fourth, the fifth, and the sixth…
Wen Xinya repeatedly splashed the wine onto her face, glass after glass. She only stopped when she ran out of wine. “Xia Ruya, this is my answer. Do you get it?”
She raised her head slowly, appearing proud and dominant like a mighty queen and a goddess on a pedestal. It was as if she had every right to behave arrogantly.
Everyone else seemed to be insignificant compared to her.
