Xia Ruya’s scandal caused an uproar because of the fact that she was the former heiress of the Wen Family. Everyone in the circle was still gossiping about the matter fervently because of the comparison between the real and fake Miss Wen. Hence, lots of people were paying attention to the mater and everyone was shocked to see how wild Xia Ruya was beneath her pure and innocent facade.
News often spread like wildfire in today’s society. Within just a few days, Xia Ruya became a hot topic for discussion and almost every forum, blog, Weibo post, and website was about her, in which netizens dug up all the history and information about her, including all the schools that she had attended, the people whom she had interacted with, as well as all the gossip about her rumored relationships.
Everyone soon found out all the fishy details about her private life after analyzing the boys who admired Xia Ruya, as well as those who contacted her frequently.
Due to the fact that Xia Ruya was pretentious and hypocritical, there were lots of males who were fooled by her innocent front, and she also was in close contact with a massive number of boys.
Everyone simply thought that she was just a popular person at first. However, at this point, they soon began to find that she was in fact, a deceitful bitch who pretended to be innocent and pure.


That was also the reason why they began castigating her relentlessly, completely disregarding the fact that she was underage.
Xia Ruya sat on the bed in her ward, dumbstruck. Actually, she had long recovered from her illness and was merely continuing to be hospitalized because she did not wish to go back to the Xia Family home to face her evil and condescending family members.
Staring blankly at the newspapers and magazines strewn across the bed, she turned pale and ghastly. Her face was just like a broken mirror that was shattering bit by bit. She lost control of her emotions and her face was contorted into a grimace, making her appear devilish, maniacal and terrifying.
She grabbed the magazines and newspapers and tore them into shreds abruptly, appearing extremely deranged and hysterical.
Just who’s harming me like this?

Who?

All of a sudden, a stunningly gorgeous face popped up in her mind, the face staring at her condescendingly while exuding a formidable yet prestigious aura. It seemed as if the face in her mind was glaring at her in disdain and mocking her.
Xia Ruya screeched at the top of her lungs.
Wen Xinya!

Yes… it must be Wen Xinya. No one except her would harm me like this.

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open and Ning Shuqian entered, only to get a great shock upon sight of the mess on the ground.


Xia Ruya had long lost her rationality and she glared at Ning Shuqian with bloodshot eyes. Her vision started to become blurry and she began losing focus on the face in front of her.
Ning Shuqian got a great shock and hurriedly blinked a few times to look at Xia Ruya, who had turned pale and appeared extremely aggrieved and devastated.
Ning Shuqian heaved a sigh of relief. She thought to herself, Seems like my eyes have been playing tricks on me. Ruya is so kind and innocent, how could there be such a menacing expression on her face?


Aunt Ning, what brings you here?
asked Xia Ruya, who expended all her energy while struggling to speak.
Staring at her sympathetically, Ning Shuqian said,
I came to visit you.


Aunt Ning…
Xia Ruya murmured feebly, gazing at Ning Shuqian with tears in her eyes. Choking with sobs, she asked,
How’s your injury? Are you feeling better? I’m sorry, I… I haven’t been able to visit you lately.

Ning Shuqian stared at her reddened eyes, the paleness of her face causing her beauty to vanish. She seemed like a flower that was about to wither before it could even blossom fully. She was lethargic and weak. Touched to hear that Xia Ruya was still concerned about her even though she was in a terrible plight herself, Ning Shuqian said,
You’re an obedient child. I know, I understand. My wounds have already healed.

However, the wounds that she had gotten from being slashed on the arm and stomach repeatedly had yet to heal completely. Hence, she still felt a dull ache in them.
She did not encounter any more assassinations when the mysterious man arranged for two bodyguards to look after her. However, the two mysteriously disappeared without a trace two days ago. Being extremely paranoid, she found the hospital to be too dangerous and hence, decided to get discharged and stay at home instead.

That’s great!
Xia Ruya then teared up again.


Ning Shuqian hurriedly grabbed her clammy hand and said,
Your hand is so cold. You should turn up the heater. You’ve just recovered. Don’t catch a cold and fall ill again.


Aunt Ning… I’d rather just die and all my problems would be solved. Everyone out there… is criticizing me. I’m too ashamed to go out and face them,
said Xia Ruya, who began burying her face in Ning Shuqian’s arms and bawled loudly in immense grief and agony.
Ever since the incident that took place in Black Sunday she had been facing castigations from the Xia Family, who berated her for bringing shame to the family. Although they were blood-related, they had never shown her any concern at all. She tried to call Xia Ruxue, Jiang Ruoyin and Jiang Yuqian in a bid to get them to clarify what took place at Black Sunday. However, she could not reach them at all.
Even the Wen Family decided to stay out of the matter, despite telling her back then that they wouldn’t leave her in the lurch if she were to require help in the future, and that she was still the adoptive daughter of the Wen Family even though she was not related to them by blood. Yet, everything changed within just a few months and the Wen Family did not bother helping her out at all.
She had a look of disdain in her eyes. She had long understood that those who seemed to be treating you best could very likely abandon you during times of need. She merely did not want to be implicated in the incident with Black Sunday.
Hence, she decided to stay hospitalized using the excuse of being ill. Upon hearing the malicious comments and remarks about her made by the nurses and doctors, she felt a strong urge to rush forward and hit them.
Everyone was staring at her in disdain and contempt. They were condescending and despised her…
She had really had enough.
Ning Shuqian pulled Xia Ruya into her embrace and comforted her gently.
Ruya, I know the media is just making false reports. I watched you grow up and know fully well what a kind person you are. It’s obvious that Wen Xinya was the one who harmed you during Zhou Tianyu’s birthday party. It has nothing to do with you.

Ning Shuqian did not believe the reports at all, for she knew that Xia Ruya had always respected herself and her body.


Xia Ruya began bawling loudly and exclaimed,
Aunt Ning, you’re the only one who believes me!

She had lost her reputation which was built through great efforts. To everyone else, she was now nothing except a pretentious and shameless bitch who was loose and slutty. They also castigated her for being promiscuous.
Ning Shuqian said coaxingly,
Ruya, everything will be alright. There are lots of news happening in the city every day and the matter will blow over soon. Everyone will forget about it in due time.
