<h4>Chapter 1201: Ning Shuqian Is the Real Threat Who Is Not to Be Belittled</h4>


    Throughout her life, Xia Ruya had never genuinely liked something before, except floral tea. Although she used to learn how to brew tea, she actually did so for her own benefit. However, after some time, she began to develop an interest in floral tea because she found it to be graceful and attractive. Hence, she decided to find out more about it.


    Xia Ruya held the porcin cup of fragrant floral tea in her hand, which exuded a refreshing aroma that was irresistible.


    The Heiress’ G is going tomence tomorrow and the good show is about to begin. I’ve been nning this for so long and I can’t wait for tomorrow toe.


    The Heiress’ G was just a scheme that she had devised together with Lin Yingxin.


    Regardless of how intelligent and sharp Wen Xinya may be, she might not necessarily guess what exactly they had nned.


    Lin Yingxin and Xia Ruya got along very well because they each had their own reasons for plotting against Wen Xinya.


    Although Lin Yingxin seemed like a gentle and meek woman on the surface, she was actually very ambitious and greedy. Back then, she chose to walk out on the Lin Family in Jiangsu and headed to Capital City alone to pursue an education. She had devised an borate n to climb thedder and achieve her goals. Being awarded the title of talented beauty was not enough to satisfy her.


    She wanted a reputation that was as good as Mo Yunyao’s.


    Wen Xinya’s appearance nted those desires within her and gave her a chance to pursue them.


    They even decided to get Yan Menglu involved in their scheme. Now, everything was already in ce and theycked just one crucial element. They just needed to wait until Wen Xinya ruined her own reputation during the Heiress’ G and prove the rumors of her being talented, which were spread around by them, to be false. When that happened, Wen Xinya would lose her stable position and footing within Capital University.


    The characters of her students mattered the most to Teacher Ji Shihan. Regardless of how close Ji Shihan may be to her deceased friend, Mo Yunyao, she wouldn’t want to ept a student like Wen Xinya who had a poor character. In that case, the equally talented Yan Menglu would stand a chance.


    Once Lin Yingxin achieved her goal of defeating the granddaughter of Old Mr. Mo, she would be the center of attention of all the wealthy and prestigious families of Capital city. Thus, her dreams of marrying into a wealthy family would be realized.


    It was just a simple trick, but it would allow them to achieve their goals.


    Noticing that she was sipping and savoring the tea attentively, Ning Shuqian smiled smugly and asked, “Xinya, how’s the jasmine tea that I made?”


    Still smiling, Xia Ruya looked down at the jasmine flowers which had already sunk to the bottom of the cup. She could not help but say, “It’s great. Aunt Ning, you’ve only been learning how to brew tea for a few days and yet, you’ve already developed such impable skills. It’s really amazing.”


    Jasmine tea was the mostmon type of floral tea, but it was also her favorite. A genuinely skilled tea-brewer would be able to make the jasmine flowers stay afloat for a long time.


    Ning Shuqian’s tea-brewing skills were mediocre, for the jasmine flowers had already sunk to the bottom of the cup within just two minutes.


    Ning Shuqian raised her brows with confidence. She genuinely liked the graceful art of tea-brewing too. “I can’tpare to you when ites to brewing tea. I’m so envious of your skills.”


    Ever since Ning Shuqian began learning how to brew tea, she had been showing off her skills during prestigious events and even earned herself plenty ofpliments which made her feel rather proud of herself. Even Wen Haowen would praise her for her skills.


    Xia Ruya took another sip of tea before putting her cup down. The coarseness of the tea lingered on the tip of her tongue and she realized that the fragrance that she had tasted just now was just an illusion.


    Xia Ruya changed the subject and said, “Aunt Ning, I’ve returned to Capital city for a long time, but I took so long toe and see you. You’re not upset with me for that, are you?”


    Before she left Capital city, Ning Shuqian was just a useless pawn. Xia Ruya only began to suspect something after finding out how much Ning Shuqian had changed. Atst, she had no choice but to seek Ning Shuqian’s help in fleeing Capital city.


    She did not expect Ning Shuqian to have actually seeded!


    From then on, she finally realized that Ning Shuqian was not to be belittled.


    After returning to Capital city, she contemted if she should go look Ning Shuqian up. After all... the fact that Ning Shuqian had given her a hand, made her feel like Ning Shuqian had already escaped her clutches. She felt that she could not afford to provoke Ning Shuqian, lest she gets into trouble.


    However, she was very tempted by the great power behind Ning Shuqian. Regardless of how wealthy the Li Family may be, they were only powerful in Harbor City. Regardless of how prestigious she may be, it was impossible for her to take charge of the Li Family so soon since she had just returned.


    She went to Capital city with the intention of dealing with Wen Xinya and attacking the Wen Family. Since she could not use the Li Family, she had no choice but to shift her attention to Ning Shuqian. She believed that Ning Shuqian would definitely help her aplish her wishes as long as she managed it well.


    Hence, she was suddenly stuck in a dilemma. She decided to use some tricks to get close to Ning Shuqian.


    She only made up her mind to look Ning Shuqian up today.


    Ning Shuqian smiled and said, “Ruya, what are you saying? I know you have your difficulties. I’m d enough to know that you care about me.”


    She had always liked Xia Ruya, partly because they had amon enemy, and partly because she thought that Xia Ruya treated her and Ning Yuya sincerely. When they were down and out, Xia Ruya was the only one who was there for them. Besides, now that Xia Ruya had be the heiress of the Li Family, she felt the need to curry the favor of Xia Ruya.


    Xia Ruya held her hand and said, “Aunt Ning, I know you’re the best to me. By the way... how is Yuya doing? I’ve returned for so long, but I’ve only spoken to Yuya a few times over the phone. I haven’t met her yet.”


    The mention of Ning Yuya made Ning Shuqian’s face turn stiff, though she soon returned to normal. “That kid is really wild. I haven’t seen her in a while. I heard that she’s rather busy with her academicstely. I don’t know if it’s real or not.”


    Ning Yuya had already been sessfully admitted to Qingyuan University and got into the school of design. Ning Shuqian was d about that and she naturally wanted to let her defeat Wen Xinya, who was talented in jewelry design. Hence, she spent a huge amount of money to hire a renowned jewelry designer to teach Ning Yuya and tutor her. Although she was attentive in learning...


    She still engaged in vices and frequented sordid ces because of her drug addiction. Hence, she was very disappointed and miserable.


    Yuya is my only child!
