Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Novel - Chapter 716

Chapter 716: Ruining Wen Xinya’s Innocence

Ning Shuqian read the reports on the newspapers with a smug expression. “I didn’t expect the media to act so soon. I merely spilled some information about Wen Xinya getting kidnapped and they have already managed to find so much information within such a short period of time.”

She was the one who had informed the media about Wen Xinya’s abduction and mentioned to them about the terrorists from the West Region. To her surprise, the media was smart enough to project it at Wen Xinya.

Ning Yuya smiled smugly and said, “Isn’t Wen Xinya really something? I shall see if she can still use the law to prove her innocence and save her reputation this time.

She sounded condescending and sarcastic as she raised her brows.

Xia Ruya was peeling an apple while listening to Ning Shuqian. She suddenly realized that she had belittled Ning Shuqian. Despite being in a pathetic state, Ning Shuqian’s scheming tricks were not to be trifled with. She was initially still worried that she would be implicated by Wen Xinya’s abduction and yet, Ning Shuqian had already come up with such a vicious plan to deal with Wen Xinya.

Xia Ruya handed the peeled apple to Ning Shuqian and said, “Aunt Ning, the doctor said that you should eat more fruits. They’re beneficial for your body.”

Ning Yuya grabbed the apple and glanced at Ning Yuya from sideways. She chastised. “Look how caring and meticulous Ruya is, unlike you. You’re so careless and uncaring towards me. You won’t even pour me a glass of water, let alone peel an apple for me.”

Feeling a little ashamed, Ning Yuya hugged Ning Shuqian’s arm and said, “Mother, you know that I’m careless. Besides, Ruya is no outsider. She shall be in charge of being filial towards you while I will be in charge of making you happy. Wouldn’t that be great?”

There was nothing Ning Shuqian could do except glower at her.

Xia Ruya said softly, “Aunt Ning, we may have found a chance to deal with Wen Xinya this time, thanks to her abduction. However, Wen Xinya has always been cunning and sly. We don’t know if she’ll escape our clutches again this time.”

Ever since she found out about Wen Xinya’s abduction during which the military had intervened to provide rescue efforts, Xia Ruya had been living in fear and anxiety, especially after hearing that the military had arrested Ning Yuya. She could not help but feel afraid that the military would find out that she was the culprit. However, several days passed and there was still no news from the military, and neither did Wen Xinya take any action. She gradually felt more relieved.

Back then, she had used Ning Shuqian’s mobile phone to ask Ning Yuya out, and the bar that she had asked to meet Ning Yuya at was also provided by the terrorists. The terrorists had fled to the city from the West Region and hid in the city for a long time. Hence, she was certain that the place that they provided would be safe. Now that the terrorists had been arrested but she was yet to be implicated, she had a hunch that they would not reveal anything about her.

“Ruya is right. That bitch Wen Xinya is full of scheming tricks. We never know when she’ll come up with a trap to set us up,” said Ning Shuqian, who found her words to have made sense. After all, she had dealt with Wen Xinya countless times before and Wen Xinya often managed to escape her plans to set her up.

Ning Yuya sneered, “Mother, Ruya, what are you guys worried about? This is different from the scandal between her and Xu Zhenyu. She can’t use the law to prove her innocence or salvage her reputation.”

Xia Ruya looked up at her, well aware of what she was about to say next.

Just like she had expected, Ning Yuya continued, “How is she going to prove her innocence? Hold a press conference? But who is going to believe her? Announcing the hospital’s test reports would be advantageous to us. We can frame her. Besides, we still don’t know if she’s been sexually violated by the terrorists. Well… Wen Xinya is still in the hospital now.”

Wen Xinya had been hospitalized for five days and yet, there was no news of her yet. Hence, they were certain that something shameful must have happened during her abduction. Otherwise, the Wen Family wouldn’t have been so tight-lipped and secretive about it.

A smile graced Ning Shuqian’s face and she continued, “Even if she didn’t get violated, how is she supposed to prove her innocence? She can’t possibly get a virginity test report done and publish it like Ruya did. Even if she does, she might not be a virgin. Well, she’s led a wandering life for fifteen years and used to be a gangster. I doubt it’d work!”

As soon as Ning Shuqian finished speaking, she realized that she had said something inappropriate and frantically looked at Xia Ruya.

Xia Ruya hung her head low, seemingly deep in thought. Hence, she did not notice that Ning Shuqian was looking at her.

Thinking that Xia Ruya was upset by the things she said, Ning Shuqian felt a little guilty. She held her hand and said, “Ruya, it was just a slip of the tongue. Don’t take my words to heart.”

Previously, Xia Ruya had indeed shocked everyone when she revealed her virginity test report, though she gained their understanding much later. She then joined Zhishan Club and earned the approval of many, who complimented her and praised her for her kind deeds. She had somewhat rebuilt her reputation. However… ever since Ning Shuqian’s fake pregnancy was exposed, Xia Ruya was rumored to have helped Ning Shuqian and everyone started berating her for being vicious and scheming.

At this moment, Ning Shuqian was doing nothing except rub salt into her wound by bringing up the matter again.

Xia Ruya snapped out of her thoughts and hurriedly grabbed Ning Shuqian’s hand. “Aunt Ning, I’m fine. I know you don’t mean anything else. I won’t take it to heart. You’re right… this time, Wen Xinya won’t be able to prove her innocence at all… Anyway… what’s happened in the past is in the past. I… I… don’t mind it anymore.”

Wen Xinya had always been proud and arrogant. Even if her hymen was still intact, she wouldn’t resort to publishing her virginity test report to prove her innocence. Xia Ruya was waiting to see just how Wen Xinya could clear her name this time.

Ning Shuqian stared at her pale expression and trembling lips. Xia Ruya’s tone showed how pitiful she was. How could she not take it to heart?

She held her hand and said, “Ruya, I know you’re a kind girl. If it weren’t because of how intolerant Wen Xinya is towards you, and made life hard for you all the time, you wouldn’t have retaliated. Don’t worry, there will be a day that everyone sees Wen Xinya’s true colors.”

Ning Yuya held her hand and comforted. “Ruya, don’t be sad. Wen Xinya is the one who caused us to be in such a state today. However, she’ll lose her reputation very soon and become the public enemy. By then, everyone will know that she was the one who framed you.”

Xia Ruya nodded while sobbing silently. She clenched her fists tightly at the thought of all the pain that she had suffered recently.
