Chapter 752: Xia Ruya’s Tolerance

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Due to the recent scandal that Wen Haowen was embroiled in as well as Wen Xinya’s abduction, the news of Xia Ruya being a vicious woman had begun to die down. She was rather intelligent to take advantage of it as well.

Xia Ruya had taken the Wen Family’s money and severed all ties with them. However, she had lost the clout of being the Wen Family’s daughter and was living just like a commoner. She became a third-class citizen who was just waiting to eat, sleep and die! Every single day, she stood on the streets and watched the pedestrians walk past her. Whenever she saw them, she would start comparing herself to them!

However, she pathetically realized that she was no different from those people.

Even though she was dressed in designer clothing from head to toe, accompanied by exorbitant jewelry, only a few people could tell that she was wearing expensive apparel and she seemed to blend in dully with the crowd.

Is this really the life I want?

She repeatedly asked herself that question.

Her inner demon seemed to be yelling, “This is not the life I want! I was born to be the subject of envy of everyone else, the princess that everyone wants to be. I should be standing on the peak of the pyramid of life!”

She did not want to be like those ants, slogging away from nine to five for the sake of a meager amount of salary to make ends meet. She did not want to be dressed in cheap clothing, wear unsightly jewelry. She did not want to be bossed around and be at someone else’s beck and call.

I am the brightest shining pearl and only I can be in control of someone else’s life. My life shall never be controlled by others.

Not even Wen Xinya!

Yes, not even Wen Xinya!

Xia Ruya looked rather calm while trying to suppress her maniacal emotions.

She knew that it was not the best time to deal with Wen Xinya now. She had previously tried to deal with Wen Xinya using those abductors. Yet, Wen Xinya’s time was not up yet and she managed to survive the ordeal. Fortunately, Xia Ruya was not implicated. Later on, she colluded with Ning Shuqian in a bid to use the media to ruin Wen Xinya’s reputation by releasing the information about the abduction to the media. However, Xu Zhenyu ended up sabotaging their plan.

Everything made her realize that she was no longer the same Xia Ruya whom she used to be. Now that she had nothing to her name, she was no match for Wen Xinya at all.

Hence, she quietened down.

She looked on coldly and watched the events play out after Ning Shuqian plotted against Wen Haowen. She was secretly thrilled that Ning Shuqian had managed to keep her status as Madam Wen... Ning Shuqian was indeed very scheming and Xia Ruya was certain that she could use Ning Shuqian to deal with Wen Xinya, so long as Ning Shuqian remained in the Wen Family home.

As Xia Ruya visited Ning Shuqian at the hospital with some fruits, she ran into Ning Yuya outside the ward.

Delighted to see Xia Ruya, Ning Yuya asked, “Ruya, what brings you here?”

There were still some reporters camping outside the hospital. Given how sensitive Xia Ruya’s status was, it was rather inconvenient for her to show up in front of the media. Yet, she actually braved through the odds and showed up at the hospital to visit Ning Shuqian, making Ning Yuya feel extremely touched.

Appearing a little upset, Xia Ruya answered, “I’m here to see Aunt Ning, of course. I’m very sorry... about what happened with Uncle Wen. I didn’t expect that Aunt Ning would get so agitated. Yuya, I’m sorry!”

She had gone through painstaking means to avoid the reporters.

At the mention of Ning Shuqian, a sullen expression formed on Ning Yuya’s face and she said, “Ruya, this is not your fault. Wen Haowen’s extramarital affair sparked such a major outrage and it’s only a matter of time before my mother finds out. Don’t hold it against yourself.”

They often say that you only know who your true friends are during times of crisis. Given how much Xia Ruya had been taking care of them throughout thick and thin, Ning Yuya was too grateful to even blame her for such a trivial matter.

Seemingly in a better mood, Xia Ruya asked softly, “How’s Aunt Ning? There have been so many reporters lately that I haven’t had the chance to visit Aunt Ning.”

Ning Yuya could understand that Xia Ruya was in such a terrible plight that she could not even fend for herself. Yet, she was still so concerned about Ning Shuqian. Feeling extremely touched, Ning Yuya said, “My mother is alright, but she doesn’t seem to remember what happened previously after she got too agitated. So, when you see her later, don’t bring up the events that just took place. The doctor said that she has to rest well.”

She did not expect that her mother would really suffer from amnesia, though she thought it was beneficial for her mother’s recovery.

Xia Ruya asked in astonishment, “What? Aunt Ning has lost her memory? What exactly happened?”

Xia Ruya was truly astounded. She wondered, Did Ning Shuqian really lose her memory? What tricks is she getting up to?

Ning Yuya told her about everything that happened, before informing her about the doctor’s diagnosis.

Upon hearing her words, Xia Ruya appeared a little remorseful like she was blaming herself. “I didn’t think that Aunt Ning would... it’s all my fault for acting rashly. Otherwise, Aunt Ning wouldn’t have...”

She started sobbing, unable to continue.

Ning Yuya frantically said, “Ruya, please don’t say that. I know you’re just worried about Mother. Besides, the doctor has also said that Mother is suffering from the after-effects of her mental condition. However, it did not deteriorate too tremendously because we managed to keep it in control. She will recover after some proper recuperation.”

Xia Ruya felt much better. She said, “It’s not a bad thing that Aunt Ning has forgotten about the unhappy past. I believe she will recover with time.”

Xia Ruya heaved a sigh of relief. After giving it some deep thought, she realized what plans Ning Shuqian had in mind. She was planning to use her amnesia to hide the awful past and history between her and Wen Haowen.

She had been belittling Ning Shuqian all along. However, she suddenly discovered that Ning Shuqian had lots of scheming tricks up her sleeve, though she could never come up with brilliant plots. That made her the best pawn.

Ning Shuqian’s value in her heart had increased.

Ning Yuya said, “I thought so too. Once my mother’s condition has stabilized, she’ll receive psychiatric treatment.”

Xia Ruya nodded and said, “When the time comes and you need help, feel free to approach me. Don’t stand on ceremony with me.”

Extremely grateful, Ning Yuya exclaimed, “Ruya, thank you!”

Xia Ruya finally smiled and said, “Yuya, don’t bother being so formal with me. I’ll go take a look at Aunt Ning.”

Ning Yuya nodded and grabbed the fruits in her hand. “Mother just fell asleep. I think she’s going to sleep for a little while longer.”

Indeed, Ning Shuqian was still sleeping, with her messy hair stuck to her face which was as pale as a sheet. Even if she was just a bystander, she could tell how upset and agonized Ning Shuqian was. Could such a haggard Ning Shuqian still win Wen Haowen’s heart?

Xia Ruya was in doubt.

However, she still carried hopes for Ning Shuqian after being reminded of how scheming she was. She could not help but start thinking about how she should help Ning Shuqian win Wen Haowen’s heart again.
