The unbearable warmth of the sun made Xia Ruya feel like she was being baked in an oven. Beads of perspiration trickled down her forehead and dripped into her eyes, causing there to be a stinging pain in her eyes.
Xia Ruya remained standing quietly while watching Wen Xinya, who was dressed in a mint green-collared shirt and white cropped pants. She looked youthful and captivating beneath the sun.
Wen Xinya would perpetually remain composed as if nothing could faze her at all. She would forever keep her back straight and hold her head high, despite having a shameful past which she somehow did not feel bothered by. But… she’s just a shameless person, Xia Ruya thought.
I used to be the Wen Family’s beloved daughter and an esteemed heiress. I’ve always been that way, be it when I was living with the Wen Family, or when I was the illegitimate daughter of the Xia Family. Even now, I’m still an elegant and noble heiress of the wealthy Li Family.
But, why am I not as calm and confident as Wen Xinya?
Could it be because of her filthy past that she has somehow managed to conceal perfectly?
Xia Ruya suddenly felt parched and giddy while sudden stuffiness filled her chest. Next, she was overwhelmed with a wave of nausea.
She staggered forwards!
Mother Yang hurriedly rushed forward to hold her. “Missy, are you feeling unwell?”
That Wen Xinya is arrogant and overbearing. Missy is so kindhearted. She’s obviously no match for Wen Xinya, so of course she’d feel uncomfortable.
Xia Ruya’s panted heavily and her head began to feel heavy too. She subconsciously shook her head and said feebly, “Mother Yang, don’t worry. I’m alright. I just feel a little giddy.”
She had always been in poor health and her condition only improved slightly after she took care of it when living with the Wen Family. However, after she got raped, she continuously fell ill for more than a month and her body seemed to have crumbled all of a sudden. Her illness debilitated and her immune system became weaker too. Once she fell ill, she would take a long and hard time to recover.
“Missy, you’ve already become so pale. Yet, you still say that you’re alright,” said Uncle Yu, who noticed that she had turned as pale as a ghost. Her skin looked particularly fair and translucent under the sunlight, so much that her veins could be seen clearly. Uncle Yu could not help but feel a little flustered, for she was the only heir left of the Li Family whom Old Mr. Li treasured dearly. Hence, he could not afford to let her meet with any mishap.
Xia Ruya became increasingly pale and sweat droplets trickled down her face continuously.
Noticing how sickly she looked, Mother Yang hurriedly said, “Missy might be suffering a heatstroke. Hurry… let’s help her to a cooler place.”
Women were still much more meticulous compared to men, after all. Mother Yang immediately sensed that there was something amiss with Xia Ruya’s health. Xia Ruya was physically weak and she could not tolerate extreme temperatures at all. She was also very fragile and would feel uncomfortable after being exposed to the sun for a while.
Uncle Yu and Mother Yang helped Xia Ruya onto the cool bench, after which Mother Yang gave Xia Ruya some water and wiped her face with wet wipes. She then applied some cooling cream to help dispel the heat. Xia Ruya’s complexion finally became better.
Seeing that she had gotten better, Uncle Yu heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Missy, if you ever feel any discomfort, do inform us as soon as possible. Don’t put on a strong front. You’re Old Sir’s precious gem. He’s going to be so upset if he finds out.”

He sounded unnaturally concerned about her. Although she was clearly the only descendant left of the Li Family, she was still careful and humble towards them.
Old Mr. Li flew into a rage after finding out.
She had clearly developed that character from living with the Wen Family. Ever since she was a child, she had been raised as the heiress of the Wen Family, and later on their adoptive daughter after they reunited with Wen Xinya. She even became the illegitimate daughter of the Xia Family. Hence, she would definitely feel inferior.
Mother Yang said, “Old Sir told us to follow you here so that we could take care of you. It’s our duty to look after you.”
Xia Ruya smiled, still looking a little pale. “Got it, Mother Yang, Uncle Yu. I won’t make you guys worry about me again in the future.”
Mother Yang and Uncle Yu heaved a sigh of relief. Missy has always been sensible and obedient, unlike that irascible Wen Xinya.
Staring at Xia Ruya who had a look of dejection that was evidence of her displeasure about what happened just now, Uncle Yu said, “Missy, don’t take to heart what happened just now. Wen Xinya just didn’t know any better.”
Mother Yang said, “Yeah. Missy, we’re a wealthy and prestigious family in Harbor City, and the Li Family is actually superior to the Wen Family. You’re the successor of the Li Family, so Wen Xinya is inferior to you. You don’t have to take her seriously at all.”
Old Mr. Li is a renowned figure of status in Harbor City. Who would dare to disrespect him?
It’s Wen Xinya’s honor to have been treated so politely by Missy.
Still appearing disappointed, Xia Ruya said, “Even the powerful can’t defeat the local villain. The Wen Family is wealthy and prestigious in Capital city. Wen Xinya has also forged close ties with the elders of the powerful families here. Hence, she’s an esteemed heiress in Capital city too. The Li Family may be powerful, but since we’re in Capital city, we have to keep a low profile. After all, I’m here to pursue an education.”
An inexplicable gaze formed in Xia Ruya’s eyes.
Wen Xinya had made it to Capital University and was enjoying endless glory. Yet, Xia Ruya had to live in terror and flee Capital city while being haunted by her filthy and traumatic memories.
She felt extremely indignant.
She could have gone to another university in Harbor City that was just as good as Capital University, but she chose not to.
She decided to get up from where she had fallen down. It was a logic that she had known about ever since she was a child. If she failed to crawl back up, it would be akin to admitting defeat and losing to Wen Xinya, regardless of how well she might live. That was not the outcome that she wanted. Hence, she could make a comeback time and time again after being destroyed by Wen Xinya.
She believed that she could make it to Capital University if Wen Xinya could do it.
Uncle Yu said with a slight frown, “Missy, you’re right, but you’re the Li Family’s heir and you shouldn’t be treated unfairly. You’re Old Mr. Li’s precious granddaughter and he wouldn’t let you suffer any mistreatment. We’ve never been afraid of trouble. We can turn a blind eye to Wen Xinya if she doesn’t provoke you again from now on, but if she does, you may just feed her with her own medicine.”
Xia Ruya smiled, for that was exactly what she wanted.
She had just returned to the Li Family and, despite being their only heir, it would be inappropriate for her to make enemies for the Li Family and create unwanted trouble. However, she felt much less worried now that she had the assurance of Uncle Yu.
