Chapter 1215 - The Conflict About the Wine and Tea

Chapter 1215: The Conflict About the Wine and Tea
Xia Ruya was the person who felt the most joyous about the seat exchange. The fact that Wen Xinya had been receiving a lot of attention lately and undermining Xia Ruya, made the latter feel extremely uncomfortable. Du Ruoxin will definitely steal Wen Xinya’s limelight,
 she thought.

However, she felt extremely sour when she saw Du Ruoxin and Wen Xinya seated side by side.
One of them was plain, yet radiant, mysterious and elegant.
The other was stunningly gorgeous, coquettish and noble.
Even the most stunning and captivating woman couldn’t steal Wen Xinya’s shine. In fact, the juxtaposition even made Wen Xinya look graceful and classy.
The two of them were outstanding in their own ways.
The heiresses could not help but glance at them with complicated gazes.
The thought of herself paling in comparison to Du Ruoxin made Xia Ruya clench her fists tightly and she thought to herself, Don’t get too smug yet. Just you wait… I’ll teach you a lesson soon.

Lin Yingxin, who was seated among the judges, glanced at them with a complicated expression.
She was just feeling smug about the conflict between Du Ruoxin and Wen Xinya as she thought to herself, I heard that this lunatic Du Ruoxin goes around barking at everyone like a mad dog. Whoever offends her will end up in a terrible plight. Since Wen Xinya has offended her today, she’s definitely finished.

However, she could no longer smile.
She had put in a ton of effort into dolling herself up for the gala today and had meticulously picked out her outfit and apparel, just so she could steal the limelight. Yet…
Staring at the two outstanding women beside her, she almost broke her own teeth because of how hard she clenched her jaw. With the two of them beside her, she would lose her shine, regardless of how outstanding she may be.
At this moment, Xia Ruya smiled and said,
I happened to chance upon a few ladies mentioning about the unique floral cakes served at Boya Pavilion. I wonder if we’ll get the honor of tasting it today.

Lin Yingxin smiled and said,
We definitely won’t forget about the snacks meant for you guys. Apart from floral cakes, there are still many other exquisite and unique snacks.
She then paused and laughed out loud.
Look, the snacks have been served.

The waitresses walked along the artificial lake and past the artificial hill before strolling towards them with trays of tea, snacks, and fruits.

The tea from Boya Pavilion was served in glazed teacups that had different designs. Although they were colorful, they did not lose the vintage touch and even the fruits were served on exquisite glass plates.
At this moment, a waitress walked towards Wen Xinya and Du Ruoxin with a tray of snacks. Du Ruoxin extended her hand to grab the teacup, only to knock into the waitress by accident. The tea in her teacup then spilled all over her hand.

Ah!
Du Ruoxin shrieked in terror.
The waitress got a great shock. Since the tea had just been brewed, it was extremely hot and the waitress would be in trouble if she were to scald the guests. However, she was rather quick to react. She placed the tray in front of Du Ruoxin and frantically took a look at her.

Miss Du, did you get scalded?

Du Ruoxin’s reaction was quick too. She placed the cup on the table at the instant that the water came into contact with her skin.
Du Ruoxin shook her head and said,
I’m alright. The tea has spilled all over the table, though.

The waitress hurriedly grabbed the handkerchief and wiped the table dry. Du Ruoxin accommodated and pushed the tray towards Wen Xinya.
It was just a small slip-up which did not cause the gala to be affected. The owner said,
Fortunately, she didn’t make a huge mistake and injure Miss Du.
She then glowered at the waitress and exclaimed,
What are you waiting for? Hurry and apologize to Miss Du!

The waitress frantically bent forward and apologized.
I’m sorry, Miss Du. It’s all my fault for being clumsy and almost hurting you. Please forgive me, Miss Du.

The usually mean Du Ruo said calmly,
It’s alright. I didn’t get injured, anyway.


Hence, the matter came to a rest and the waitress proceeded to serve the two remaining sets of snacks to Wen Xinya and Lin Yingxin before retreating.
Wen Xinya glanced at Du Ruo with a hinting gaze.
Although others thought that Du Ruoxin was just being careless, she knew clearly that Du Ruoxin had intentionally spilled the tea.
Wen Xinya frowned and thought to herself, Ever since Du Ruoxin asked to exchange seats, she proceeded to spill the tea. It looks like she has nothing to do with it, but everything about it seems strange. Her behavior looks casual, but it definitely isn’t that simple. I really wonder what this Du Ruoxin is trying to do.

I hope I won’t provoke her again.

Du Ruoxin seemed to have noticed that Wen Xinya was staring at her. She snorted with laughter and sneered.
What’s wrong? Are you afraid that I’ll set you up too?

Wen Xinya felt a strong urge to place her hand on her head. Does Du Ruoxin know how to be tactful with her words at all? Is it really good to be so direct? Is she even trying to communicate with me? Her tone is so hostile.

Du Ruoxin ignored the sullen expression on her face and gibed.
Don’t worry, I may not be a saint, but I don’t harbor intentions to harm others all the time, unlike some people who look as innocent as an angel, but actually have a hideous heart.


Miss Du, you’re overthinking.
Wen Xinya felt like there was a boulder being placed on her chest. Although she did not like talking to Du Ruoxin… she could not help but notice the hidden meaning in Du Ruoxin’s words.

Du Ruoxin smirked and looked away nonchalantly.
We can’t have a joyous conversation with that attitude of hers!

Wen Xinya felt that she had to take a sip of tea to ease the discomfort in her chest.
Du Ruoxin suddenly turned around, as if the argument never happened before.
I heard that Boya Pavilion’s floral cakes are a specialty in Capital city. It’s made using different flowers and is fragrant and refreshing. It’s also delicious and melts in your mouth. Don’t you plan to try it?

Wen Xinya wished she could roll her eyes at her.
However, she subconsciously shifted her gaze onto the floral cakes which came in different colors such as red, pink, yellow, white, green and purple. There was a different flower carved on each cake and the colors represented the flavors, rose, lotus, osmanthus, lily, plum blossoms, and magnolia. It was unique and exquisite.
Wen Xinya also noticed the different floral cakes in front of others.
The cakes truly lived up to their reputation.
Wen Xinya subconsciously grabbed a piece in a bid to taste it!
Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin immediately shot her a glance.
