She could not reject the Xia Family's request, and neither did she have any reason to turn them down. Just like what Chen Linfang had said, she would benefit from the Xia Family being in an advantageous position. After all, she was indeed not the rightful heiress of the Wen Family and the Xia Family was the only family whom she could rely on. Besides, she had also fallen out of favor with the Wen Family.
She had to bear with the Xia Family even though she despised them.
Xia Ruya was utterly disgusted by how mercenary the Xia Family was. She felt incredibly ashamed by their behavior and how desperate they were to bootlick and socialize with the members of the upper-class society. She could almost feel them staring at her in disdain.
Had she known earlier that this would happen, she would have just endured with the embarrassment and canceled her coming-of-age ceremony. She also would have refrained from letting the Wen Family help her.
