Chapter 1775

After Wen Xinya accepted Boya Pavilion’s owner’s invitation and agreed to be a judge at the Heiress’ Gala, this piece of news spread all over Capital city rapidly. At the same time, others started talking about Wen Xinya’s participation in the Heiress’ Gala six years ago, where she emerged the winner with her talent in the four arts.

Up till today, Wen Xinya really deserved her reputation as one of the Dynamic Duo of Capital city.

Before the Heiress’ Gala was held, it was already the talk of the town because of Wen Xinya—something that she found hard to comprehend.

“From this, we can deduce that talks in the circle regarding your reputation as the Dynamic Duo of Capital city previously was Boya Pavilion’s work.”

Si Yiyan had already found it weird previously. From the start of the acquisition war with T-K Corporation, Xinya had mellowed down in the upper-class society. In the name of Bella, she had navigated China’s health supplements market well and shocked the business world.

At the peak of Bella’s fame, talks of the Dynamic Duo of Capital city had spread across the media in the upper-class society rapidly—he refused to believe that nobody was manipulating it in the dark.

“Why would Boya Pavilion’s owner want to do this?”

Somehow, Wen Xinya felt that this act of Boya Pavilion’s owner had more to it than met the eye. However, probably because she didn’t know much about Boya Pavilion’s owner, she couldn’t make sense of her thoughts.

“I’m guessing that they’re probably doing this for fame,” Si Yiyan said after a sigh.

He raised his guards towards Boya Pavilion. This Boya Pavilion was secretive in itself and the things they did—even he couldn’t find out everything about them. Regardless of their intentions for the Heiress’ Gala this time, he was sure that the other party was targeting Xinya.

This was something that he couldn’t tolerate.

Wen Xinya frowned slightly.

“The Heiress’ Gala has been quiet for many years and has already started its decline in recent years. This time, Boya Pavilion’s intention for holding a grand gala is obviously to reinstate Boya Pavilion’s influence and fame previously and reactivate their connections in Capital city all these years.”

The Heiress’ Gala had an extraordinary status in the upper-class society and was extremely well-connected.

However, after all these years, the Heiress’ Gala gradually became ostentatious, lost its style and talents, and was a far cry from its reputation then. Many ladies from scholarly families in the upper-class society even felt that thought better of themselves and slightly despised the people who dabbled in the Heiress’ Gala.

Over the years, the Heiress’ Gala had failed to produce peerless talents like Tang Xiaowei and Zhou Huiyan. Thus, it had already gradually lost its shine.

Wen Xinya asked with confusion, “What has this got to do with me?”

She and the Heiress’ Gala had always stayed in their own lanes and had never miscommunicated or clashed with each other. Why did the Boya Pavilion’s owner want to provoke her time and again?

“Xinya, you’ve underestimated yourself.” Si Yiyan looked at her attentively.

Said without context, this statement made Wen Xinya feel even more lost.

“Boya Pavilion wants to reinstate its reputation in the past. Thus, they used the opportunity to hype your reputation as the Dynamic Duo of Capital city, pushing your reputation to an extremely high point. Then, they used your reputation to create hype about the Heiress’ Gala. This is a rather brilliant tactic.”

It only took Si Yiyan a few words to expose Boya Pavilion’s scheme.

He was slightly displeased with Boya Pavilion’s silent scheme towards Xinya.

Previously, after the Heiress’ Gala ended, Boya Pavilion had tried to plot against Xinya and created hype using Xinya’s reputation. At that time, as Xinya needed the reputation of being a talented lady, he had let the matter rest.

Unexpectedly, six years later, Boya Pavilion relapsed.

His bottom line for everything was that once was acceptable, but not twice.

Very obviously, Boya Pavilion had already touched his bottom line.

Wen Xinya widened her eyes as realization finally hit her. “So, by accepting Boya Pavilion’s invitation, I’ve somehow become the spokesperson for the Heiress’ Gala’s image and their tool for rising their reputation!”

No wonder the topics regarding the Heiress’ Gala had been all the rage in the upper-class society the last two days after she accepted the gala’s invitation.

So, this was the deep meaning behind these.

“Putting aside the rest, just your identity as Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter who has succeeded him, are proficient at each of the four arts, and deserve the reputation as a talented lady—furthermore, you’re stunningly reputable in the jewelry world—only by creating hype with your reputation can Boya Pavilion really attain their goal.”

Over the years, Xinya had already become one of the leading people in this generation in the upper-class society—bedazzling and gorgeous. Also, her reputation had always been very positive with the message of encouraging legendary transformations.

This was also the reason behind the Boya Pavilion’s exploitation of Xinya.

Wen Xinya wanted to slap herself hard. “Boya Pavilion’s owner is simply too much, making use of me time and again. I’m really too dumb to actually not see through their scheme. I really shouldn’t have accepted that invitation and let others make use of me for no reason.”

Saying that, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth and feel even more displeased with Boya Pavilion’s owner.

Boya Pavilion’s owner had already made use of her more than a couple of times.

More terrifyingly, she had done so silently each time—when she reacted, she had already sunk far too deep in.

“Boya Pavilion’s owner always evaded one’s guards when she schemed against someone. This person is more deeply scheming than anyone I’ve ever met. Don’t blame yourself—previously, I’ve also not seen through his trick.”

Si Yiyan’s eyes were harsh and cold.

Obviously, over the years, he had been too negligent over Boya Pavilion’s existence. Xinya was schemed against under his nose—this was simply like pulling a front tooth from the jaw of the tiger to him.

Wen Xinya took in a deep breath and calmed her anger down. “I’d originally thought that I and Boya Pavilion’s owner stayed in our own lanes. However, now it seems like the other party doesn’t think so. She has time and again plotted against me and has already touched my bottom line. I’d really like to see just how capable is this Boya Pavilion.”

Boya Pavilion had a mysterious existence in Capital city.

Over the years, even Si Yiyan couldn’t find out much about it. In her heart, she was rather guarded against Boya Pavilion’s owner and naturally wouldn’t provoke her unless necessary.

And Boya Pavilion’s owner had obviously never provoked her either.

However, now, Wen Xinya didn’t understand that things were peaceful merely because of insufficient stakes.

“Boya Pavilion is too mysterious. When we’re out in the open and the enemy’s hidden, it’s not a good time to strike.”

Previously, he had tolerated with Boya Pavilion because there was no clash of interests.

However, now, he would never tolerate an uncontrollable and unknown presence existing under his nose.

Wen Xinya nodded. “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Didn’t Boya Pavilion’s owner try so hard to make me participate in the Heiress’ Gala? I’ll meet her at the gala then. I’ll really like to see what is up her sleeves.”

Only at this point did Wen Xinya really start to take the Heiress’ Gala seriously and become guarded towards Boya Pavilion’s owner.
