Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Heiress’ Gala took the entire capital city by storm. Zhou Huiyan, who was similarly invited to participate in the gala as a judge, as the Vice-Chairman of Zishan Club, instead got less attention than Wen Xinya as the Dynamic Duo of Capital city.

After meeting Xu Zhenyu, Wen Xinya couldn’t calm down.

Boya Pavilion was powerful and was holding a grand Heiress’ Gala due to the elections. This was simply akin to destruction for the Wen Family. It was only at this moment did she truly realize Boya Pavilion’s ill intentions for the Wen Family.

Wen Xinya immediately called Zhou Huiyan. “Aunt Zhou, I’d like to consult you on some matters.”

Aunt Zhou was on good terms with Boya Pavilion. Since Boya Pavilion had similarly invited Aunt Zhou to the Heiress’ Gala, Aunt Zhou definitely knew more about Boya Pavilion than her.

After hanging up, Wen Xinya rushed over to their meeting place.

Previously, Wen Xinya had mostly met Aunt Zhou at clubs under Zishan Club.

However, this time round, Aunt Zhou had chosen another tea house as their meeting venue.

Outside the vintage and classy tea house hung a wooden sign engraved with the “tea” word. Inside, all sorts of intricately packaged famous teas were placed on the exquisite counter. There were beautiful tea sets which bedazzled her.

At this point, an old person in green Tang Dynasty costume walked over. “Dear Miss Wen, please follow me.”

Behind the tea house was a courtyard filled with an array of rockery, a pond, flowers, and fish tanks.

The old person brought Wen Xinya to a room. Zhou Huiyan was brewing tea inside.

“I actually didn’t know that there’s such a classy venue in capital city.”

Wen Xinya had hurriedly scanned through and saw the famous teas on the counter just now. She had good taste and could naturally tell the quality of those teas. The tea sets were also rare elegant goods.

“This was opened by a friend of mine—not for profit, just for elegance. You can come over often next time.” This tea house only welcomed private guests—basically, one couldn’t get in without being recommended.

Wen Xinya thought about it and understood.

“These are Biluo tea leaves personally cultivated by the owner of the tea house. Planted between plums, bamboo, and pine, picked and manufactured by him personally, these are indeed the finest tea leaves—no harm trying.”

Zhou Huiyan poured her some tea.

Wen Xinya savored it carefully and couldn’t help but praise and say, “Fragrant, elegant, and lofty—this tea is a style on its own.”

This was the most unique Biluo tea that Wen Xinya had tasted.

Zhou Huiyan couldn’t help but smile. “You’re really good at tasting tea. Style is a great word to describe its uniqueness.”

Amidst the fragrant tea mist, Wen Xinya was deep in her thoughts and couldn’t help but become distant.

Placing down the teacup, Wen Xinya said, “Aunt Zhou, what’s exactly the background of Boya Pavilion’s owner?”

The aroma of tea filled the room elegantly.

“Although Boya Pavilion’s owner and me go way back, we’re merely acquaintances. Her real name is Lin Xinrui, had once stunned the capital city with her painting of the country, and was known as the Beautiful Sisters of capital city with your Granny. She had slight differences with your Granny, and after your Granny’s death, she slowly quietened down in capital city’s upper-class society circle. With the passage of time, her looks aged and she became less influential than before.”

Boya Pavilion’s owner had schemed against Xinya like this—of course she could guess that there were ulterior motives and was naturally clear about Xinya’s reason for looking for her today.

Wen Xinya was slightly disappointed. “Unexpectedly, this Boya Pavilion’s owner is actually so mysterious.”

People like Grandpa and Grampy who were of the same generation as Boya Pavilion’s owner actually knew so little about her, and people like Aunt Zhou who went way back with her knew even less about her.

Zhou Huiyan was silent.

Wen Xinya asked, “This time, Boya Pavilion’s owner is holding a grand Heiress’ Gala with the intention to stir up a storm in capital city. Why did you agree to participate?”

Zishan Club was at the heart of capital city’s power circle and would probably know a thing or two about certain matters.

“I’m indebted to Boya Pavilion’s owner for her help and encouragement as a senior and naturally can’t reject her kind invitation this time. More importantly, this also involves some secrets of Zishan Club.”

Saying that, she looked up at her meaningfully.

Wen Xinya’s heart skipped a beat and couldn’t help but beat rapidly. “Even Zishan Club is implicated this time?”

Just what was Boya Pavilion’s background to actually also scheme against Zishan Club?

She could probably understand Aunt Zhou’s reason for especially choosing another venue to meet her today—anything that involved Zishan Club must be handled carefully.

Zhou Huiyan nodded with approval. She had only said a few words and Xinya already saw the picture. “I suspect that there’s someone from Zishan Club behind Boya Pavilion. Not only has this person been lurking in Zishan Club for many years, he even holds a high position.”

Actually, regarding this matter, if Wen Xinya didn’t take the initiative to look for her, she wouldn’t mention it. After all, it was a serious matter and she also didn’t want to implicate Xinya.

However, she had asked.

Wen Xinya’s mind was in a blur. “So you’re participating in the Heiress’ Gala this time for the sake of sounding Boya Pavilion out.”

Wen Xinya was only shocked for a moment before calming down.

If Aunt Zhou had told her these before she met Xu-er, she would probably feel that this matter was slightly bewildering. However, now, she felt that Aunt Zhou’s conjecture wasn’t unreasonable.

Boya Pavilion was deeply mysterious, had been around in capital city for many years, and had always occupied a high position in capital city. Even with Boya Pavilion’s owner’s methods, she didn’t think that based on Boya Pavilion alone, she could penetrate capital city’s power circle.

If Boya Pavilion had the support of the Zishan Club behind them, everything would make sense.

Zhou Huiyan nodded. “Zishan Club has been around for many years and has been at the center of capital city’s power circle and doesn’t even dare to stir up a storm in capital city and dabble in politics, and Boya Pavilion is actually so brazen to do so. Regardless of their reasons, they’re vicious. Once Zishan Club is implicated, it’s unlikely to continue existing.”

Wen Xinya asked, “Then, over at Aunt Tang...”

It was impossible for Aunt Tang to not know such a serious matter—not sure what were her views.

Zhou Huiyan interrupted her. “You’ve gotta remember that this is a serious matter that only you and I know.”

Within Zishan Club, she could only trust Xinya.

Wen Xinya gasped. “I got it!”

Over the years, as Aunt Tang aged, she gradually dabbled less in Zishan Club’s matters. Although Aunt Zhou was the Vice-Chairman, she was managing the entire Zishan Club’s matters.

The situation was already so serious that everyone in Zishan Club was a suspect?

The two of them exchanged glances and stopped the conversation.

Zhou Huiyan’s expression relaxed as she smiled and said, “It’s a rare chance that we’ve got half a day together leisurely. Why don’t we savor some tea and chat casually?”

Some things didn’t need to be discussed in detail.

Wen Xinya naturally wouldn’t reject. “Just what I was thinking!”
