Chapter 1202 - I’m Looking Forward to the Heiress’ Gala


Chapter 1202: I’m Looking Forward to the Heiress’ Gala
Although Ning Shuqian managed to conceal her emotions well, Xia Ruya still managed to notice them. Her eyes glistened and she said with a smile,
I heard that Yuya is very talented in jewelry design. I’m so happy for her.

The mention of it made Ning Shuqian smile.
You must have heard her bragging about herself. She only received some compliments from her teacher and yet, she’s already so arrogant. She really doesn’t know any better.


She sounded rather mean. After thinking about the rumors revolving around Wen Xinya lately, Xia Ruya understood that Ning Shuqian was just indirectly criticizing Wen Xinya.
She chimed in.
Yuya is really capable.

Ning Yuya was capable, but it might not be the case for someone else.
Indeed, her words made Ning Shuqian feel extremely comfortable.
Don’t shower her with compliments, lest she gets too arrogant and complacent.

Xia Ruya smiled and said,
Aunt Ning, you’re being too strict with Yuya.

Although Ning Shuqian was still smiling, she could not quite hide her emotions of misery. She held onto Xia Ruya’s hand and said concernedly,
Ruya, I didn’t expect that you’d turn out to be the only successor of the Li Family. Your status is so much more prestigious than Wen Xinya’s.

When she spoke to Xia Ruya over the phone previously, she found out from Xia Ruya about her becoming the Li Family’s heir. She was rather astonished because she did not expect her to be so lucky.
The Li Family had a massive business but rarely had any heirs. As soon as Xia Ruya returned to the Li Family, she was highly regarded by them. Hence, she was much luckier than Wen Xinya.

The mention of it made Xia Ruya rather emotional.
Now that we’re talking about this, I still have to thank you, Aunt Ning. If you didn’t help me flee to Harbor City back then, I probably wouldn’t have ever found out the truth about my birth, let alone reunite with Grandpa.

Xia Ruya stared at Ning Shuqian with sincerity and gratitude.
Ning Shuqian’s eyes glistened. Frankly speaking, she was just doing her a simple favor.
What’s there to thank? Back then, that bitch Wen Xinya caused you to end up with nothing and ruined your reputation. You couldn’t stay in the Capital city anymore. Who else would help you, if not me? I just wanted you to do well.

Xia Ruya was extremely touched. She held onto Ning Shuqian’s hand and began sobbing.
Ning Shuqian patted her arm and said with a tender gaze,
Ruya, I watched you grow up. Since you’ve already become the successor of the Li Family, why don’t you study in Harbor City instead of coming back? I heard that there are a few prestigious universities there that are world-renowned.

As long as she stayed in Harbor City, she would have the chance to take over the Li Corporation as soon as possible. She was certain that Xia Ruya definitely had the ambitions to do so. Since the Li Family had agreed to let her study in Harbor City, could it be that they still had not acknowledged her completely yet?
She did not forget how the Wen Family tried their best to send Wen Xinya abroad when she first returned to the Wen Family home. At last, Wen Xinya had no choice but to move in with the Mo Family home so as to put the matter to rest.

Aunt Ning, I don’t want to talk about the rest, but I’m sure you know the difficulties that I’m facing.
Xia Ruya could guess Ning Shuqian’s
She returned to Capital City with the intention of getting up from where she had fallen. Most importantly, the situation in Li Corporation was not ideal for her. Old Mr. Li was old in his years and there was also an internal struggle going on in the Li Corporation. Hence, it would be impossible for her to intervene with the Management of the Li Corporation as soon as possible, let alone take over.
Since she wouldn’t get to interfere for a while, she might as well give up and wait for a better opportunity.

Although the matter about her heading to the Capital City seemed to be disadvantageous to her, Old Mr. Li was clearheaded and he would be controlling the Li Corporation even more in the near future. By then, things would get even more complicated and Xia Ruya would be blamed. Hence, by leaving to Capital City, she would be avoiding unnecessary trouble. She was retreating for her own good.
Staring at Xia Ruya who was hanging her head low. Ning Shuqian sighed and said,
I definitely understand your troubles. I’m just worried that you might be treated unfairly in the Li Family. That’s why I asked you that question.

She knew clearly that there was a feud between Wen Xinya and Xia Ruya. Not only did Wen Xinya cause Xia Ruya to end up with nothing, she even left Xia Ruya with no choice but to leave Capital City. No one would let Wen Xinya off easily if she were to be in Xia Ruya’s shoes.
Appearing a little pale, Xia Ruya looked up and said,
Grandpa treats me very well!

Ning Shuqian nodded and changed the subject.
I heard from Yuya that you’re planning to join the Heiress’ Gala. What is that about?

The Heiress’ Gala was not an ordinary event and, although it did not have that great of a reputation in Capital City, it didn’t mean that everyone didn’t take it seriously. All the wealthy and prestigious families knew of its significance.
It’s such a pity that Yuya doesn’t have any remarkable talents and is even a drug addict. I would be glad if she could join the gala,
 Ning Shuqian thought.
Xia Ruya smiled and explained,
I was invited to the gala by one of my seniors who’s currently in her fourth year of university. Well, I don’t have any presentable talents except brewing tea. I’m just mediocre at that too!

Since Wen Xinya was about to put on an interesting show soon, she obviously had to be there. She and Lin Yingxin had decided to work together. Hence, it was a piece of cake for her to attend the gala.
Ning Shuqian said with a slight frown,
I heard that Wen Xinya has been invited too.


Ning Shuqian’s face grew sullen at the mention of Wen Xinya. Ever since the release of the issue of Poise Magazine that Wen Xinya was featured in, Wen Xinya had a positive image and was praised for her determination and perseverance to turn over a new leaf. She was then nicknamed as
The Cocoon that Evolved Into A Butterfly
and seen as a gangster who turned into a resplendent Phoenix.
Since Poise was an esteemed magazine, the issue that Wen Xinya was featured in was well received by many, who showed their support for Wen Xinya and the magazine.
It was as if Wen Xinya’s disgraceful past had been overwritten by her new image which was positive and pleasant.
Now that Wen Xinya was going to join the gala, she would definitely get to enjoy a glorious moment again if she were to perform outstandingly.
Noticing the look on her face, Xia Ruya laughed and said,
Wen Xinya is Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter, after all. She’s been taught by him ever since she reunited with the Wen Family. It’s only understandable that she’d join the gala. Besides… the rumors about her have been spreading like wildfire. She can only redeem herself by joining the Heiress’ Gala.

Ning Shuqian was intelligent enough to know what Xia Ruya meant. She knew that the Heiress’ Gala was not a good place to be at.
She smiled and said,
I’m starting to look forward to the gala.
