Chapter 1785: All That Wealth Would Still Not Be Enough for You

After the Heiress’ Gala ended, all the socialites started to take their leave.

Wen Xinya naturally had no inclination to linger on. She immediately said her farewells to the owner of the Boya Pavilion. “Thank you, Madam, for your great hospitality tonight.”

The Boya Pavilion’s owner’s smile dimmed a little. “Miss Wen’s appearance at tonight’s Heiress’ Gala greatly enhanced the event. I have specially prepared some of our specialty pastries for you to show our gratitude.”

With that, she glanced at the usher by her side.

She was worried that Wen Xinya would really demand some pastries from her, so she had prepared quite a number beforehand.

The usher hurried forward with an exquisitely-wrapped box for Wen Xinya.

“Madam is too kind.” Wen Xinya was somewhat shocked. She was just teasing when she made her earlier request for the pastries. She never expected the owner of the Boya Pavilion to be so thorough in her hospitality.

Nevertheless, she really did enjoy the Boya Pavilion’s pastries.

The owner of the Boya Pavilion looked somewhat weary. “I will have someone deliver the Ru porcelain tea set and the Biluochun tea leaves to your car.”

She had ended up spending a huge sum on Wen Xinya tonight. As a result, she was extremely displeased with her.

She remembered how Wen Xinya had competed against Miss Su during the Heiress’ Gala. Although it was just one round, her performance was exceptional. She could just imagine how Wen Xinya’s reputation would be even more resounding by tomorrow morning.

She felt rather vexed.

But on second thought, the Wen Family wouldn’t be triumphant for long. As a result, her tumultuous emotions settled down.

***

The Ru porcelain tea set was a three-piece set. It comprised of two delicate little teacups and an exquisitely-made teapot. Although the Heiress’ Gala had disgusted Wen Xinya, the Ru porcelain tea set was a nice surprise.

“Green as grass, smooth as jade, shimmery as the morning star, delicate as cicada’s wings. It is truly a premium item.”

Leaning across the side table, she could barely tear her eyes away from the tea set.

Although the owner of the Boya Pavilion had promised to give her a Ru porcelain tea set, she never expected it to be such a premium item. No wonder the owner had looked so gloomy as Wen Xinya left the Boya Pavilion.

Anyone would feel unhappy at losing such an exquisite treasure.

Si Yiyan was rather surprised. “It looks like jade but is not, and is even better than jade. It is as lovely as the skies right after the rain, with a green as luscious as rolling hills in the countryside. This Ru porcelain tea set is just as good as the one your Grampy owns.”

Wen Xinya had been eyeing Old Mr. Mo’s Ru porcelain tea set for very long, but he refused to part with it. She could only gaze at it from afar.

The art of creating Ru ware had already been lost, and it was now impossible to buy them on the market. Most of them existed only in the private collections of the wealthy. He had tried to get her a set, but he had no connections in the world of luxury items and failed to do so.

He never expected her to manage to wrangle a set from the owner of the Boya Pavilion.

Wen Xinya said happily, “Say, how much do you think this Ru porcelain tea set costs?”

She wished to know just how much the owner of the Boya Pavilion had sacrificed.

“I remember that in 2012, a Sotheby’s auction for Country Z’s porcelain artwork was held in Harbor City. A Northern Song Dynasty Ru washbasin was auctioned off for 200 million yuan. Your Ru porcelain tea set should fetch at least 500 million, and this is already a conservative estimate.”

The owner of the Boya Pavilion had really suffered a heavy loss!

Nevertheless, he could more or less understand her reason for doing this.

Wen Xinya was not an easy person to handle. She must have known that and decided to try and smooth things over. Meanwhile, Wen Xinya had a Grampy who was famous in the arts and literary world, while she herself had a dowry worth billions of yuan left to her by Mo Yunyao. What treasures had she not seen?

She would not be so easily impressed by some common objects.

Rather than have her make an issue out of that incident and creating an awkward scene, the owner of the Boya Pavilion had chosen to just throw money to smooth over the matter.

After all, the Heiress’ Gala was part of a grand scheme and her plans might be spoiled if Wen Xinya decided to kick up a fuss.

Wen Xinya’s eyes brightened as she gave a radiant smile. “I managed to get such a great treasure without doing much. I am happy to let the owner of the Boya Pavilion make use of me a few more times. This Ru ware is not something that can be attained by money alone.”

At this point, Wen Xinya no longer felt any dissatisfaction over being used by the owner of the Boya Pavilion.

Being given this Ru ware after being used was a pleasant surprise.

Si Yiyan glanced at her greedy little face which looked so adorable. “If so, then no matter how wealthy the Boya Pavilion is, it will not be enough to satisfy you.”

She had surpassed his expectations. Not only did she not suffer any losses during this Heiress’ Gala, but she had also even raked in such a prized possession from the owner of the Boya Pavilion. This girl was truly… not one to be trifled with.

Nevertheless, he liked this side of her!

Wen Xinya happily hugged the little teapot. “I will bring this Ru porcelain tea set to show off to Grampy tomorrow!”

She recalled how every time she went to the Mo residence and could only gaze covetously at Grampy’s Ru porcelain tea set.

Si Yiyan asked, “What if your Grampy likes it?”

This girl could never resist offering Old Mr. Mo all sorts of good things. He wanted to know if she would really give Old Mr. Mo the tea set.

Wen Xinya hugged the teapot tighter. “No. I will never give this to anyone, no matter how much they like it.”

Si Yiyan couldn’t help smiling at her expression.

Wen Xinya said in all seriousness, “My great-grandfather, my Grampy, and my mother accumulated a huge dowry for me. I also want to start amassing my own dowry to pass on to my children and grandchildren.”

Since she already decided to have children, then she had to start planning for everything.

Good things like this Ru ware must definitely be left to her descendants.

Anyway, Grampy already had one Ru porcelain tea set of his own.

Si Yiyan laughed out loud and puller her into his arms. “You are really a little imp!”

He was still troubled over the matter of having children, but at this point in time, he just felt that they would worry about it when the time came.

Wen Xinya ate the pastries from the Boya Pavilion with a smug smile. “These pastries from the Boya Pavilion are really good. I should have just asked for the recipe instead.”

Wen Xinya truly felt somewhat regretful at that.

Looking at how easily the owner of the Boya Pavilion gave out these pastries, she would probably be willing to share her recipe too.

Si Yiyan smiled while shaking his head. The owner of the Boya Pavilion would probably vomit blood in anger if she knew that all these goodies Xinya managed to wrangle from her were not enough, this girl was still eyeing her pastry recipes.
