Chapter 289: Plot Falling Through As Tables Turned

Not far away, Xia Ruya watched this scene with eyes glowing with satisfaction. In this way, everyone present at the banquet would know that Wen Xinya actually came to the banquet on her own accord—see if she would still have the face to hang out in the circle.

Zhou Huiyan was slightly stunned before she suddenly smiled and said, "Mr. Wen, you've misunderstood. It was me who especially invited Xinya over—I was friends with Xinya's Granny and this child really appealed to me. Thus, I especially invited Xinya to attend the banquet under my name."

The sudden change of events made Wen Haowen instantly widen his eyes. As he listened to the whisperings and discussions which suddenly rang through the banquet hall, he suddenly felt ashamed and without a place to run to. He suddenly shot a harsh look at Wen Xinya, as if questioning and reprimanding her for not telling him about this, making him so humiliated.
