Chapter 1200: The Hidden Significance of the Heiress’ Gala

The news of Wen Xinya being invited to the Heiress’ Gala spread like wildfire amongst the entire Capital city and caught the attention of many. After all, apart from being the heiress of the Wen Family, Wen Xinya was also Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter.

In the past, Wen Xinya used to be a gangster but turned over a new leaf after reuniting with the Wen Family. She had been staying by Old Mr. Mo’s side and learning the four arts. During that period of time, she actually changed a lot and developed an elegant aura as she became much more refined. Everyone in the circle had witnessed her progress. Old Mr. Mo was undoubtedly a good teacher. However, everyone wanted to know if Wen Xinya was as talented as the rumors claimed her to be.

She would never believe that Xia Ruya and Lin Yingxin had nothing to do with the rumors.

The two of them were doing it for different reasons. One of them was attacking her for the sake of taking revenge while the other was doing so for her reputation.

As long as they blew up the matter, everyone would find out about it and hence, they would gain more when they attained their goals.

Wen Xinya was disgusted by their actions.

Old Mr. Wen placed the porcelain bowl in his hand on the table and said, “The Heiress’ Gala is known for its poise, but all of the girls who stand out from the rest during the event have bright futures.”

Although the heiresses perhaps didn’t think that way, they could not stop the prestigious families in Capital city from paying attention to these outstanding and talented girls. Hence, the more attention they got, the more they would change. Not to mention, they all came from wealthy and powerful families. Even if they came from weaker families, they would gain more recognition by claiming to be scholarly.

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “With the title, they wouldn’t be too far off.”

Otherwise, Lin Yingxin wouldn’t have painstakingly devised such a plan.

Old Mr. Wen shot her a peculiar glance. Clearly... she did not understand what he meant. “To my knowledge, the president of the Zhishan Club, Tang Xiaowei, and the deputy president, Zhou Huiyan, both used to be women of talent and had won titles during the Heiress’ Gala.”

Next, Old Mr. Wen then mentioned a few more prestigious women of the upper-class society and told her about their background.

Wen Xinya was suddenly enlightened and realized what Old Mr. Wen was referring to when he mentioned that those girls often had bright futures. “Prestigious and aristocratic families often have strict standards for their daughters-in-law. In fact, they probably go through various selection processes to pick out one that they’re satisfied with. Women from scholarly families have been educated well since a young age and were all taught to be virtuous, talented and well-mannered. Hence, they’re better than most heiresses and would mostly be the preferred candidates.”

Moreover, Tang Xiaowei and Zhou Huiyan, who had performed outstandingly during the Heiress’ Galas that they took part in, both became well known in the upper-class society for their virtues and talent. Hence, everyone began to regard the Heiress’ Gala more highly. The girls who had joined the Heiress’ Gala would naturally receive more attention, and those who stood out from the rest would be in the limelight. As a result, they became the best choice to be daughters-in-law of prestigious families of the upper-class society.

Over time, the significance of the Heiress’ Gala changed.

That was exactly the point of Lin Yingxin’s scheme.

As long as she gained a reputation for being talented, she would get to marry into a good family and enjoy a life of luxury with fame and status.

In a woman’s life, there would only be two turning points. A woman could either alter her destiny by gaining more knowledge or by marrying a wealthy man. It was no wonder that Lin Yingxin would devise such an elaborate scheme.

Since it concerned her fate for the rest of her life, she would obviously take a gamble. Anyone else would do the same.

However, Wen Xinya did not approve of her tricks even though she could understand the rationale behind it, because it was way too scheming.

Old Mr. Wen smile and said, “Exactly. So, Xinya, you must be careful when dealing with them. Nowadays, the girls who are confident in their own talent wouldn’t bother joining the Heiress’ Gala. Only those coveting something would do so. Once they harbor desires, they would do everything they can to achieve them. Sometimes... they might even resort to despicable means. So, that’s not quite an upright place.”

Hence, when Wen Xinya informed him that she would be joining the Heiress’ Gala, he was rather shocked. However, he decided to support her after thinking about the controversial rumors that had been revolving around Wen Xinya.

Now that Wen Xinya had found out more about the Heiress’ Gala, she decided to be more careful. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll be conscientious.”

She had never dared to belittle women, for the tricks that women pulled were daunting and women would resort to anything to get what they wanted. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many popular television dramas about harem battles.

Old Mr. Wen was not actually worried about her. However, he was just afraid that she would fall into a trap because she didn’t know the rules well. “I’ve consolidated some relevant information about the Heiress’ Gala in recent years. If you’re free, do take the time to flip through them and get to know the rules better.”

The information that he had collected was rather detailed and included the details of the participants as well as their performances.

Wen Xinya grabbed the document and said agitatedly, “Thank you, Grandpa.”

The gala was to be held tomorrow and she had indeed intended to find out more about it.

Old Mr. Wen said smilingly, “Don’t be too nervous, either. Your Grampy was the one who taught you the four arts. Although you’ve only practiced them for three years, you’ve made much more progress than others have in 30 years.”

Ever since history, people were told that they would make much more progress by learning from a good teacher, as compared to working hard blindly for ten years. Since Wen Xinya had Old Mr. Mo to teach and guide her along, she had a head start and progressed faster than others. All she needed was some reminders from Old Mr. Mo. That was the advantage of having a good teacher.

Wen Xinya smiled and changed the subject. “Grandpa, how is the entertainment city project going?”

Old Mr. Wen had shifted his attention to the Wen Corporation. Hence, she was not worried about it since he was there to tend to matters at the company. Her main concern was the entertainment city project.

Old Mr. Wen said, “The entertainment city project has started and we’ve begun planning the land use. I didn’t stop them, but I created lots of obstructions. Currently, the entertainment city project is progressing as we had expected.”

Since Wen Haowen was in charge of the entertainment city project, he refused to let Old Mr. Wen or the board of directors intervene. Even Ning Shuqian had resigned from her position as director. Apart from the funds, there was no relation between the corporation and the project.

Old Mr. Wen had taken that into consideration.

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Grandpa, you’re really impressive. You managed to keep everything within control in such a short period of time.”
