Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1132

The Celestial Detective Agency had completed its investigations on Xia Ruya.

After disappeared, Xia Ruya had indeed gone to the Harbor City. What happened after that was simply awful.

Although Xia Ruya couldn’t continue staying in the Capital city, as the Wen Family had given her a big sum of money, she had led a rather good life after going to Harbor City, often organizing some high-profile events. Thus… she got noticed.

Mentioning of which, she had to talk about the wealthy Li Family in the Harbor City.

The background of the Li Family was not worse than that of the Wen Family. They dealt mainly in branded clothes and were also rather reputable in the world—even slightly better than the Wen Family.

When Old Mr. Li was young, he had a great relationship with his wife. However, they didn’t have the fortune of having many children and only had a son. Old Mr. Li eventually married two other women, hurting their relationship, and his wife passed away at a young age. Feeling regretful and resentful, Old Mr. Li lost the drive to conceive more children and his interest in relationships faded.

The lone successor of the Li Family was quite competent and made the Old Mr. Li rather proud. However, he also had a short life. Forty years ago, due to a car accident, Old Mr. Li’s son and daughter-in-law passed away just like that, leaving behind a daughter who had just been born. Old Mr. Li groomed her as the successor of the Li Family, intending to get his granddaughter a husband when she grew up.

Unexpectedly, his obedient twenty-five-year-old granddaughter suddenly became rebellious and resisted Old Mr. Li’s marriage arrangements for her. From then on, she disappeared without a trace. Thus, the Li Family lost their only successor.

Old Mr. Li searched earnestly for decades to no avail. Just when he was fretting over who to hand over the massive business of the Li Family to when he died, Xia Ruya appeared.

Initially, it was an old friend of Old Mr. Li who incidentally saw that Xia Ruya looked just like Old Mr. Li’s granddaughter and noticed her.

Then, the Li Family checked on Xia Ruya, even secretly obtaining her hair for a DNA test, and finally verified that Xia Ruya was a bloodline left behind by his granddaughter.

Old Mr. Li was overjoyed to finally recover the bloodline of the Li Family and hurriedly acknowledged her.

In a state of shock and disbelief, coupled with Old Mr. Li’s explanation and persuasion, Xia Ruya finally succumbed to this pitiful and lonely old man and acknowledged him!

After that, Xia Ruya was quickly promoted and transformed into the only bloodline and successor of the Li Family.

Old Mr. Li finally found the only bloodline of the Li Family and naturally pampered her like the apple of his eye. He even unwillingly agreed to Xia Ruya leaving home to further her studies at the Capital city.

After knowing about how she the odds and converted into Miss Li of the Harbor City, Wen Xinya was really speechless. Undoubtedly, Xia Ruya was lucky.

In the past, she had gone missing and eventually led a wandering life for fifteen years, suffering the harshest treatment and seeing the worst sides of humanity. Yet Xia Ruya had raised through the ranks from the orphanage and became a daughter of a wealthy family.

Eventually, her identity was uncovered. However, she was still the illegitimate daughter of the Xia Family and the foster child of the Wen Family and continued enjoying the riches.

Even after she broke off from the Wen Family and the Xia Family and became an orphan, she still had the wealthy status of being Miss Li waiting for her.

What could she say about such luck?

She had tried hard to deal with and suppress Xia Ruya. She had originally thought that Xia Ruya was done for, but what happened?

Such was fate.

Such is life even if it didn’t treat me well or bless me!

She believed in fate but won’t succumb to it. Although Xia Ruya was blessed by fate, as if she were meant to be a star, she won’t succumb to it.

At this point, Wen Xinya only lamented at the ill-fated relationship between her and Xia Ruya. Previously, they were linked by their identities and now, even their backgrounds were so similar.

This was probably the legendary old foes!

Foes meant to be!

Not to be escaped nor resolved, only resting upon death.

Wen Xinya sighed slightly and said, “Xia Ruya is a disaster all along. Now that she’s back in the Capital city, who knows what storms will she cook up.”

Xia Ruya was selfish, manipulative, and greedy in character. In her heart, she definitely believed that the Wen Family owed it to her. Now that she became Miss Li of the Harbor City, she naturally wouldn’t let the Wen Family off easily.

Things were not looking good for the Wen Family. There was a mysterious group of people scheming against the Wen Family secretly, a Ning Shuqian manipulating Wen Haowen to openly stir up storms in the Wen Corporation, and now there was a Li Family of the Harbor City. She truly felt worried for the future of the Wen Family.

Si Yiyan said slowly, “Why worry unnecessarily—your Grandpa is securing the foundation of the Wen Family and things can’t get too bad. Moreover, the Li Family of the Harbor City, being separated by the sea, even if they want to deal with the Wen Family, they won’t be able to do much in the near future. Although Xia Ruya is the successor of the Li Family, she has just returned to them and has yet to control the Li Family. So, she won’t be able to do anything to the Wen Family so soon.”

Most importantly, he was by her side.

He hated to see her, at such a young age, always furrowing her brows and looking all worried.

Wen Xinya naturally knew this. However, she still felt rather uneasy. “I’m still jealous of Xia Ruya’s good luck. She’s definitely fate’s lucky star.”

In order to establish her foothold in the Wen Family, she had put in so much hard work, effort, and even her sorry fate in her previous lifetime. It was obviously the same fate, except that Xia Ruya actually immediately became the only bloodline of the Li Family. Without a stepmother and foster sister making life difficult for her, without a heartless father, and without a harsh grandma—once she got into the Li Family, she became the successor of the Li Family right away and enjoyed the wealth and riches like it was meant to be.

Si Yiyan laughed—he really didn’t know what to say about Xia Ruya’s luck. “Regardless of Xia Ruya’s good luck, she doesn’t have a respectable Grampy who’s a notable personality in the literary field. Moreover… regardless of her good luck, she can’t be compared to you. Just look at you… you’re well-versed in poetry, chess and painting—how can Xia Ruya hold a candle to you.”

It seemed like Xia Ruya returned to the same footing as Xinya. However, in actual fact, Xinya was already way ahead of Xia Ruya.

After hearing this, Xinya felt much better. Her eyes were filled with honor—Si Yiyan’s words were full of pride for her. “Si Yiyan, you’re really the best at cheering people up.”

She had Grampy, Si Yiyan, and many friends—she totally didn’t need to compare herself with Xia Ruya.

Seeing that she cheered up, Si Yiyan smiled and sneered. “Who said I’m cheering you up—I’m saying the truth.”
