Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress - Chapter 1128

“Miss Wen!”

Wen Xinya immediately froze and stood rooted to the ground in shock. The soft and tender voice rang in her ears like the sound of rain in Summer. Although she spoke in a normal volume, it was somehow crisp and distinct. In fact… it stood out from the other miscellaneous noises.

Wen Xinya thought that she had heard wrongly.

Reason being, that voice shouldn’t be heard here, be it in the previous or present lifetime.

Hence, she turned around abruptly, only to have the heel of her stiletto rub against the ground forcefully with a loud thud because of her sudden, forceful movement. Wen Xinya almost sprained her ankle but didn’t notice it.

The bright rays of the sun shone into her eyes and she finally realized that she was staring right at the sun which blinded her momentarily. She squinted and began to feel a little giddy while her vision began to blur. It seemed all that she could see was a blurry silhouette.

Wen Xinya could vaguely see a familiar figure strutting towards her gracefully and beautifully.

She shook her head and shut her eyes tightly before looking up again.

Her vision became clearer and so did the figure that was pacing towards her. At last, she focused on the familiar face.

It was Xia Ruya!

She had shown up in a place where she was not supposed to.

Wen Xinya rubbed her giddy head, feeling warm and uncomfortable, so much that she began sweating on her forehead and her nose.

Xia Ruya appeared in front of her before she even managed to find out Xia Ruya’s whereabouts.

“Miss, please slow down. The weather is sweltering. Be careful not to get a heatstroke.” Xia Ruya was walking in front of two people who were following her and helping her lug her suitcases while nagging at her.

Wen Xinya squinted.

The sight before her seemed to have blinded her and her heart was filled with an ominous feeling.

At this moment, Xia Ruya slowly stood in front of her and said, “Miss Wen, long time no see.”

Before Wen Xinya could even answer, one of the servants scurried towards her with a suitcase. “Oh my god, Missy, look at all that sweat on your face. Hurry and wipe it away. The weather is too warm today. Of all days, why did you choose to register your name in school today? As long as you’re happy, you can report to school whenever you please. All it takes is one call from Old Sir.”

Wen Xinya frowned slightly at the sight before her, feeling a little out of sorts.

The servant continued to rattle on and on while wiping away Xia Ruya’s sweat, completely disregarding Wen Xinya’s presence.

Xia Ruya seemed to have forgotten about Wen Xinya too. She smiled tenderly and said, “Mother Yang, I came to Capital University with the purpose of pursuing a degree. Of course I’d have to express my sincerity and not rely on connections. The weather is blazing hot today. Do get some rest. I just saw an old friend of mine. I’ll go say hi to her.”

Another servant stared at Wen Xinya condescendingly and quipped. “Missy, we know that you’re kindhearted and we have no objections if you’d like to continue hanging out with your old friends. However, you status is now different. You can’t just call any Tom, Dick or Harry your friend.”

The servant made the harsh remark while glowering at Wen Xinya in a hostile manner.

Xia Ruya frowned slightly and said, “Uncle Yu, don’t say that. I know you’re worried about me, but you shouldn’t say such things either. Miss Wen is the heiress of the Wen Family, not some random person. The Wen Family is a renowned aristocratic family in Capital city and Miss Wen’s Grampy is Old Mr. Mo, an esteemed scholar of the education industry. Hurry and apologize to Miss Wen.”

Xia Ruya sounded stern yet respectful towards Wen Xinya.

Mother Yang and Uncle Yu were displeased with the fact that Xia Ruya seemed to be afraid of Wen Xinya.

The Li Family knew about Xia Ruya’s past, including the fact that she had been living well with the Wen Family before Wen Xinya appeared out of nowhere, plotted against her to ruin her reputation and caused her to be chased out of the Wen Family, thus leaving her with no choice but to flee to Harbor City.

Hence, they were resentful towards Wen Xinya.

Missy is too kind not to bear a grudge against her and instead greeted her amicably, they thought.

Uncle Yu’s attitude made Xia Ruya feel extremely awkward. She looked at Wen Xinya and apologized earnestly. “Xinya, I’m really sorry. Uncle Yu didn’t mean to say that. I apologize to you on his behalf.”

Wen Xinya watched the exchange between Xia Ruya and her servants with a cold smirk. She then glanced at Uncle Yu and gibed. “You can always just sack a disobedient servant like him. Why do you bother going to such great lengths to apologize to me on their behalf? Others might just think that you’re allowing your evil servants to bully someone else. Don’t ruin your own reputation.”

She was well aware of what Xia Ruy was thinking. She knew that Xia Ruya was just letting her servant insult others on her behalf. Although Wen Xinya was afraid of dogs, she was not afraid of bitches.

Xia Ruya’s face immediately stiffened.

Uncle Yu turned pale, though his good manners allowed him to stay calm and rational. However, he retorted harshly. “What a sharp-tongued troublemaker. It’s no wonder that Missy is no match for you.”

Wen Xinya ignored Uncle Yu and instead stared at Xia Ruya coldly. She smiled suavely and said, “Miss Xia, we may have our differences, but aren’t you being a little inappropriate by indulging your servants and letting them insult me? Everyone’s staring at me.”

There was no way Xia Ruya could shirk the responsibility since they were her servants.

Xia Ruya subconsciously looked around, only to realize that all eyes were on them. She frantically apologized. “Miss Wen, Im really sorry.” She then turned to look at Uncle Yu with an austere expression and ordered. “Uncle Yu, you’ve been working for my grandfather for decades and you’re our old servant. Grandpa told you to accompany me to Capital city and I respect you a lot. However, you’re at fault today. Hurry and apologize to Miss Wen!”

There were two meanings to Xia Ruya’s words.

Firstly, she was trying to express her respect for Uncle Yu so as to make him feel grateful.

Secondly, Uncle Yu was a servant whom her family valued greatly and she had to show him some respect too. Hence, she was just trying to say that she had nothing to do with Uncle Yu’s rude behavior.

Wen Xinya glanced at Xia Ruya smilingly, well aware of the hidden meanings behind her words.
