Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1310 - Others Are Just Accessories!

Chapter 1310: Others Are Just Accessories!

At this moment, Ning Shuqian tightened her grip on the glass of red wine in her hand while glaring daggers at the glorious Wen Xinya, almost breaking her teeth because of how hard she was gritting them.
Ning Shuqian rarely dressed herself in black because she felt that the color black was too dull and gloomy, so much that her glamor and elegance would be dampened by it. She felt like being dressed in black would make her seem like a black widow. However, Wen Xinya’s unique and captivating outfit gave her a new impression of the color black.
As much as she hated to, she had no choice but to admit that Wen Xinya indeed looked extremely magnificent and captivating today, like a beautiful and dark sky that was full of stars.
Wen Xinya managed to pull off the color black in such a unique manner.
Ning Shuqian had meticulously dressed herself up for the gala and she also looked inexplicably beautiful, sultry and perfect in her bandeau-style rose-red gown which accentuated her attractive cleavage and her snowy white skin. Her fair skin seemed to glow like porcelain in the light from the chandelier and her deep cleavage made her look extremely sultry.
There were small and exquisite diamonds on the belt of her gown, which shone resplendently and made her gown look much more outstanding.
She was wearing the diamond necklace that Wen Haowen had gifted her three years ago, which was also an extremely rare and large diamond. The color of her earrings, bracelet, and ring was also matched perfectly with the color of the pure diamond. As soon as she made her appearance just now, the reporters hurriedly rushed to snap some photos of her chest. Since then, she knew that her outfit was extremely eye-catching.
Yet, she seemed to have lost her glow and became dull after Wen Xinya appeared, clad in an elegant and posh black gown that was paired with an opulent set of jewelry. All of a sudden, her red gown seemed to look tacky and hideous.
She had always known that Wen Xinya had the ability to steal the limelight and outshine everyone else, regardless of the event.
Wen Haowen turned pale and groused in pique. “Even if the old man doesn’t wish to be the emcee of the jewelry exhibition, that greenhorn Wen Xinya is in no place to be the host. Who does she think she is? There are still so many other shareholders. Who is she to represent the old man? He’s really silly.”
The thought of Wen Xinya being the reason for the exhibition today made Wen Haowen feel exceptionally infuriated, especially since Old Mr. Wen was intending to push for Wen Xinya’s brand to be established.
Now that Wen Xinya had already become the head designer of the Wen Corporation’s jewelry brand and had earned the approval and praises of the directors and shareholders, she already had a stable position in the Wen Corporation. The efforts that Wen Haowen had put into running the Wen Corporation for the past few decades could not compare to her designs at all.
If Wen Xinya’s brand really managed to be set up successfully, her position in the Wen Corporation would only become stronger, especially since she had the support of Old Mr. Wen. By then, even Wen Haowen would be helpless.
Ning Shuqian sneered. “This was clearly arranged by the Old Man, just so she could gain fame and steal the limelight. The old man has really put in so much effort for Wen Xinya.”
Forget it if he held the exhibition solely for her sake. He even let her make the opening speech. In the past, only the reputable and authoritative elders of the company were allowed to make the opening speeches for such important events. Who does Wen Xinya think she is? The old man is just trying to use this opportunity to tell everyone that Wen Xinya is the star of the exhibition.
Everyone else… is just accessories!
Including the old man, and me, of course.
“What else can that old man do, apart from getting up to these cheap tricks!?!” Wen Haowen snapped before chugging his glass of red wine at one go. He thought about how Old Mr. Wen would do his best to promote Wen Xinya during the past events and banquets, such as the homecoming party, Wen Corporation’s annual gala, Wen Xinya’s coming-of-age ceremony, the Ai Shang product launch and many others. His blood began to boil with fury.
Noticing how angry Wen Haowen was, Ning Shuqian gibed. “It doesn’t matter that his tricks are old, so long as they work. The old man just never fails to find a way to use his typical tricks to give Wen Xinya an advantage. It works all the time.”
Wen Haowen was so angst that he felt an urge to tug at his necktie.
Seemingly having had no idea that she had already agitated and provoked Wen Haowen, Ning Shuqian said, “Look… look at everyone here at the exhibition today. They’re so uncultured and unrefined, unlike the members of the upper-class society. As soon as Wen Xinya appeared, they began screaming, yelling, cheering and swooning, as if she is their favorite celebrity. Where has all their image gone? To put it bluntly, they’re all just people hired by the old man who’s trying to use them to show Wen Xinya some support.”
Throughout the twelve years of her marriage to Wen Haowen, she had never seen anyone from the upper-class society behaving in such an unruly manner.
Extremely frustrated, Wen Haowen grabbed another glass of red wine from the waitress and finished it in one sitting. “They made the exhibition seem like a rowdy wet market. How embarrassing.”
Ning Shuqian snorted and said, “Let them be smug for now. They won’t be able to be smug for too long!”
Doesn’t the old man love supporting Wen Xinya? We’ll let him do so together with her fans. I’ll make sure to teach them a good lesson later.
Since the old man wants to make use of this opportunity to help Wen Xinya create her own jewelry brand… I’ll foil their plans and make it impossible for the event to continue.
Seemingly having thought of something, Wen Haowen glanced at Wen Xinya who was standing on the stage and said with a menacing expression, “You’re right. She may be enjoying glory now, but she’ll be in a pathetic state later.”
The entertainment city project would be coming to an end soon. In no time… the Wen Corporation would become hers. At such a juncture, how could she allow anyone to ruin her plan?
Ning Shuqian finally loosened her grip on the glass of wine and clinked it against Wen Haowen’s glass, producing a loud and crispy voice. She said softly, “Cheers!”
Wen Haowen swirled the glass of wine gently in his hand as the red liquid glowed under the light. “Cheers!”
After downing the glasses of wine, the two of them glanced at Wen Xinya with a peculiar gaze.
