Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heires

Chapter 1776: All the Best for the Heiress’ Gala

Xia Ruya sat at the porch in the middle of the lake of Boya Pavilion, taking in the scenery. Sitting opposite her was the mysterious owner of Boya Pavilion.

She was still wearing a mask. Her exquisitely maintained beautiful hands were looking even better than girls at their peaks.

At this point, she was brewing tea. The lingering scent of the tea and the thick mist was slightly novel in itself.

“It’s been six years and Boya Pavilion seems the same.”

Xia Ruya stared at the person opposite her. Although the rising humid mist blurred her vision and covered the person opposite her, making her feel as mysterious as something that was unfathomable in the clouds.

Six years had passed and this person was still as mysterious as previously.

However, it also seemed natural.

If she wasn’t so mysterious, how could she scheme against Wen Xinya without a trace and even made her sink into her plot unguardedly and be willingly manipulated by her?

“It’s been six years, and it seems like much has changed about Miss Xia.”

Her voice was elegant with the depth and reservation of great experience. Every time she spoke, there was an unknown majesty to her. She was brewing tea without raising her head as if she was more interested in tea than the person opposite her.

Xia Ruya’s face changed, slightly unable to grasp the meaning behind her words. “It seems like although the pavilion’s owner is hidden from the world, many things still can’t escape your eyes.”

This statement was both polite and questioning.

Previously, due to her great grandfather, she had been acquaintances with Boya Pavilion’s owner.

However, at the Heiress’s Gala six years ago, she had fallen out with Wen Xinya and Boya Pavilion had punished her on the spot. After that, she had returned to Harbor City and lost contact with her.

This time, it was also because Boya Pavilion was holding a grand Heiress’s Gala and she had exposed the pavilion’s owner’s scheme to exploit Wen Xinya that brought her visit.

Boya Pavilion’s owner stirred the tea mixture gently. “You don’t have to test me out. You should be clear about the upper-class society in the Capital city. Since Boya Pavilion can hold its place here with an extraordinary standing, being mysterious and detached are merely tricks to fool some ignorant people!”

When it came to benefits, one definitely couldn’t be careless.

Thus, Boya Pavilion had been hiding within Capital city and silently observing the situation.

Although Xia Ruya got the answer that she wanted, she wasn’t that happy and changed the topic. “You’re making use of Wen Xinya to hype the Heiress’ Gala up. However, I’m afraid that Wen Xinya has already seen through your scheme. She’s arrogant and thinks highly of herself—according to my understanding of her over the years, she’s unlikely to let the matter rest!”

Xia Ruya had already stopped trying to test the waters.

This Boya Pavilion’s owner was deeply scheming like none other. It was as though she could see through one’s heart, making her raise her guards up.

“Don’t dream of implicating me in your grudges with Wen Xinya either. Regardless of how useless Boya Pavilion is, it’s not to be trifled with.”

Boya Pavilion’s owner gently lifted her tool, brushed the foam of the tea aside, scooped out some tea, and poured the amber-colored and translucent tear into the plain and elegant porcelain cup in front of her.

With her intentions exposed by a mere statement, Xia Ruya looked awkward for a moment before looking normal again very quickly. “You holding a grand Heiress’ Gala is indeed a major event in the upper-class society.”

Six years ago, she had embarrassed herself at the Heiress’ Gala—Boya Pavilion’s owner naturally wouldn’t invite her.

And regardless of how shameless she was, she wouldn’t attend the Heiress’ Gala.

Boya Pavilion’s owner’s smile deepened. “Boya Pavilion has been quiet for too long. It’s time to show ourselves.”

Xia Ruya smiled and said, “In that case, I’ll wish your Heiress’ Gala all the best and the highest fame in advance.”

Boya Pavilion’s existence was as mysterious as that of the Jiayuan Club.

She had previously gotten Mr. Z to check on Boya Pavilion but had gotten even less useful information than that of Jiayuan Club.

She had a vague feeling that Boya Pavilion had formed an extremely mysterious and powerful influence in Capital city which didn’t pale in comparison to that of Zishan Club.

Based on Xia Ruya’s observation, Boya Pavilion didn’t seem to like Wen Xinya at all. If she could get her to join her side, it would be a piece of cake to deal with Wen Xinya.

However, her tries had been countered and she sank deeper into the passive stance, slightly out of her expectations.

“Thank you for your blessings.”

A tinge of frustration flashed past Xia Ruya’s eyes. She tried to hold back but still couldn’t help but say, “According to my knowledge, you and the Mo Family had once...”

Boya Pavilion’s owner plainly interrupted her. “This is the white silver needle tea cultivated by Boya Pavilion. Although it’s slightly inferior compared to the Junshan silver needle tea, it’s aromatic and refreshing. Why don’t Miss Xia try it?”

Boya Pavilion’s owner delivered a teacup before Xia Ruya.

Xia Ruya knew that she had overstepped her boundaries. “The pavilion owner is getting better at brewing tea.”

The awkwardness just now was resolved by a cup of tea.

Boya Pavilion’s owner remained silent.

Her attitude made Xia Ruya slightly perturbed. Somehow, when facing this Boya Pavilion’s owner, she always felt uncertain. “To have the pavilion owner personally brew tea for me make the trip today a worthwhile one.”

Xia Ruya was very tactful.

Since Boya Pavilion’s owner wasn’t the kind of person that she could manipulate, she wouldn’t make herself unwelcome.

“Since you’ve come personally, how can I let you leave empty-handed?”

Boya Pavilion’s owner was holding a teacup and tasting the tea with her mask covering her expression. However, her words were filled with deeper meanings.

Xia Ruya instinctively looked up at her with a tinge of joy in her eyes. “Does the pavilion owner mean...”

She was obviously cautious about the rest of her sentence, afraid that she had gotten the wrong message and would upset her.

“I’m interested in reinstating Boya Pavilion’s reputation. Your stirring up of things in Capital city this time is slightly beneficial to me. I’ve always clearly distinguished kindness and grudges. Since I’ve benefited from you, I’ll naturally repay you similarly.”

Saying that, she removed the pouch on her waist and handed it to Xia Ruya.

Stunned, Xia Ruya hurriedly received it. “Thank you.”

This pouch was rather exquisite, embroidered with elegant lilies-of-the-valley. The faint floral scent lingered in her nose and was very pleasant. She was really curious—what exactly did this pouch contain?

For some reason, she felt vaguely excited. Still, she forced herself not to open the pouch on the spot.

“Open it after you go back!” Boya Pavilion’s owner glanced at her plainly, her tone becoming slightly dull.

Xia Ruya knew that she was already hinting for her to leave and reciprocated. “Thank you for your generous gift. Please forgive me for my presumptuous visit today.”

Saying that, Xia Ruya initiated the goodbye.

Looking at Xia Ruya’s back view gradually leaving, Boya Pavilion’s owner looked down gently, looked at the bright yellow fluid in the teacup, and smiled mysteriously.
