Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 661: Playing Tricks in Front of Me

The lights suddenly came on, followed by passionate cheers from the dance floor as the DJ started spinning once again. Everyone on the dance floor swayed their bodies with all their might along with the music from the DJ, shaking their slim waists and bottoms, drenched in perspiration from showcasing their passion.

The lustrous and dazzling lights reflected from the dance floor to this corner. Wen Xinya saw Ning Yuya, whose gorgeous face seemed to be in a trance.

She seemed to enjoy this kind of atmosphere very much.

After all, Ning Yuya had changed too much from the past, so much that she almost couldn’t recognize her.

Wen Xinya sipped on the alcohol in her hand, smiled mildly, and said, “Indeed, it tastes exquisite and fragrant.”

Ning Yuya stared at the alcohol in her hand, her gaze glowing for some reason. “Is that so? I thought you wouldn’t wanna drink it.”

Wen Xinya returned the glass to the table and said mildly, “It’s the first time that you, Ning Yuya, is treating me to a drink. How can I say no, right?”

Ning Yuya frowned slightly. She had long known that Wen Xinya was filled with harshness. However, like before, she still couldn’t handle such sharpness and hostility.

Wen Xinya looked at Ning Yuya mildly and said, “I’ve finished the alcohol and caught up with you. Where’s the stuff? I don’t have any more patience for you.”

Previously, at her coming-of-age ceremony, she had already reminded Ning Shuqian and given Ning Yuya a deadline of three days. Due to the myriad of events happening after that, she had forgotten about it. Unexpectedly, Ning Yuya actually took the initiative to deliver the jewelry.

Ning Yuya’s expression tightened as she stared at Wen Xinya for a while, before retrieving a jewelry box from her bag and stuffed it in front of her. “It’s here. Now that I’ve returned it to you, you can stop using this set of jewelry as an excuse to cause trouble.”

Mother and Xia Ruya were right. Wen Xinya wasn’t easy to get along with, so it was better to return the stuff to her as early as possible. Otherwise, if she were to use it as an excuse to cause trouble, it would be adding insult to her and her mother’s injury at this point.

Wen Xinya received the jewelry and dumped it into her bag without taking a look.

“You’re not opening it up for a look? In the future, don’t say that there’s a problem with the jewelry and use it as an excuse to frame and cause trouble for me.” Ning Yuya’s expression became slightly awful as she thought about how she had previously loved the jewelry so much that she even tried means and ways to own it. Now, Wen Xinya was actually nonchalant about it—it was like a slap on her face.

Wen Xinya looked at her with subtle confidence on her face. “What’s there to look—you’re a smart person and naturally know the consequences. I doubt you’ll dare to play any tricks.”

Ning Yuya only returned the jewelry on her own accord as she had come to terms with reality. Thus, she wouldn’t play any tricks on the jewelry.

Ning Yuya’s expression kept changing as she couldn’t help but grit her teeth and say, “Thanks for your compliment.”

Naturally, she wouldn’t tamper with the jewelry as it was giving Wen Xinya an opportunity to deal with her—she wasn’t that stupid. It was just that Wen Xinya’s confident expression and scornful look intensified the hatred in her heart—it was despising her.

Wen Xinya locked her gaze on Ning Yuya, her thin lips with a tinge of coldness. “I hope that Miss Ning remembers to return things to people after borrowing them and don’t try to claim them as your own. Otherwise, it just brings humiliation upon yourself.”

Against the dazzling light, Ning Yuya’s face appeared slightly twisted. She suppressed her voice and said with a tinge of suppressed anger, “Wen Xinya, I’ve already returned the stuff to you. Don’t take it too far.”

Wen Xinya didn’t bother with her. She only raised the glass before her slowly, and, while Ning Yuya was caught off guard, suddenly splashed the entire glass of alcohol on her face. “Aren’t you as close to Xia Ruya as sisters? In that case, you guys should share all weals and woes together.”

Shocked, Ning Yuya looked at the Wen Xinya before her—so arrogant and overbearing, as if she had the right to do it. She suddenly recalled that on the night of Ruya’s coming-of-age ceremony, she had also splashed alcohol all over Ruya’s face without giving a damn.
