Chapter 1319: Do You Know Why You Got Slapped?
Ever since her rebirth, Wen Xinya had never been so infuriated before. How dare Wen Haowen have the audacity to gift Ning Shuqian with the jewelry designed by Mother without asking for permission? This pair of adulterous lovers are really going overboard.
Wen Xinya listened to the employee’s recount quietly while noticing that her face had turned red and swollen because of Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian. She had a calm and sullen expression on her face as if there was no emotion at all.
The employee retreated and tried to see Wen Xinya’s reaction. After all, anyone would be angry during such circumstances. However, Wen Xinya’s calmness made the employee feel a little taken aback. A cold shiver was sent down her spine and she instinctively retreated.
Miss Wen’s aura is so overbearing!
It was no wonder that she would be known as a queen.
The employee felt an urge to kowtow to her.
Wen Xinya said calmly, “You don’t have to blame yourself. I know you’ve already tried your best. Your face hurts, doesn’t it? Hurry and get it cleaned backstage.”
The employee had actually already prepared herself to receive a lashing from Wen Xinya. To her surprise, Wen Xinya treated her gently and even showed her concern for her win. She immediately felt touched.
Wen Xinya was indeed a nice person. “Miss… Missy, thank you!”
After the employee left, Wen Xinya glanced at the small hall to see that Ning Shuqian was appearing radiant and smug, a stark contrast from the pathetic state that she was in when she got into a scuffle with Sun Xiaorou.
Wen Xinya sneered to herself. Ning Shuqian, I was kind enough to let you roam around the venue during the exhibition today, but you shouldn’t have provoked me!
Wen Xinya strode towards Ning Shuqian, exuding a stern and domineering aura that caught the attention of many. They hurriedly paid attention to Wen Xinya after discovering that something was amiss.
Wen Xinya’s black velvet gown accentuated her svelte curves and she paced gracefully while appearing mysterious at the same time. She managed to bring out the dominance and power of black.
The resplendent black color of her gown seemed to have consumed all of the warmth and light around it while exhibiting its dominance, austerity, opulence, and class.
The train of the gown swayed gracefully and alluringly together with Wen Xinya.
The blue diamond heels were rather captivating too.
All of a sudden, the sound of a slap filled the air in the small banquet hall and Wen Xinya stood still in front of Ning Shuqian. Next… she placed her left foot onto the spot beside her right.
The slap that Wen Xinya gave to Ning Shuqian took everyone by storm. No one had expected Wen Xinya to slap Ning Shuqian in public.
What exactly happened?
Everyone was curious to know.
“Wen Xinya, you…” muttered Ning Shuqian, who had been slapped twice throughout the event. The resentment within her seemed just like a venomous snake.
Wen Xinya raised her chin and stared at Ning Shuqian condescendingly. “Miss Ning, an employee of ours informed me of an interesting thing just now. Make a guess about what it is.”
Wen Xinya’s voice was crisp and clear, resembling that of a phoenix. It was loud yet melodious. It seemed to have filled the ears of everyone in the hall.
Ning Shuqian tightened her grip on her purse. She had obviously already guessed what Wen Xinya would be saying next. She sneered. “Miss Wen, I don’t think there’s a need for me to beat around the bush with you. You may be the heiress of the Wen Family, but let me warn you, you’d better not be too arrogant. How dare you slap me in public? Are these the manners that you ought to have?”
Ning Shuqian felt a stinging pain on her skin and anger was written all over her face. She did not expect that Wen Xinya would hit her in front of everyone.
Wen Xinya sneered. “Since you’re not interested in guessing, I shall tell you the answer, Miss Ning. You’ll find out why you got slapped after you hear what I have to say.”
Does Ning Shuqian think she can play the victim just by pointing out that I slapped someone? She can dream on.
Why doesn’t she think about her current status and position?
Ning Shuqian stared at Wen Xinya, who had a cold and daunting smirk on her face, and immediately felt an ominous hunch. “Miss Wen, don’t cross the line. Regardless of what happens, I’m still your father’s wife in name and a guest of today’s exhibition. You…”
Too impatient to listen to Ning Shuqian’s nonsense, she immediately interjected, “She said that one of the four sets of the jewelry designed by my mother, named ‘Eternal Light’, has gone missing.”
Her words were like a tossed stone that raised a thousand ripples, shocking everyone there.
Everyone who had watched the jewelry exhibition knew that that set of diamond jewelry was extremely rare.
It actually went missing!
Wen Xinya wouldn’t lie. Since she said that it had gone missing, it had really gone missing.
Everyone could not help but wonder if Ning Shuqian was the one who had stolen the exorbitant “Eternal Light”.
Ning Shuqian’s heart pounded rapidly. Wen Haowen clearly gifted it to me. Yet, Wen Xinya said that it has gone missing. She decided to spill the truth. “Miss Wen, you…”
She could not allow Wen Xinya to accuse her of stealing the jewelry. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to explain herself.
Wen Xinya again interrupted, “She said that she saw you taking the set of jewelry away with her own eyes. She wanted to stop you, but you used CEO Wen as an excuse to brush her off. Miss Ning… did that happen?”
Wen Xinya used the word “take” and not “steal”, though they seemed to mean the same thing in this context.
Since Ning Shuqian had the audacity to incur my wrath, I must make her pay the price.
Wen Xinya’s words made everyone feel greatly taken aback. To their surprise… Ning Shuqian actually stole Eternal Light. How atrocious.
Everyone stared at Ning Shuqian in disdain, finding her to be extremely outrageous.
