Chapter 741: Pseudo-Truth 11
Back pain combined with an unbearable heartache, Xia Yinian felt like there was not a single part of her body that was okay.To live so pretentiously, she had only herself to blame!
The girl cursed herself thoroughly, and then unbelievably fell asleep with her head on the table.
Standing amidst the crowd, Feng Yan’s gaze occasionally swept in Xia Yinian’s direction.
Watching her lift her glass, he originally planned to go over and stop her but was conveniently blocked by someone who approached him.
He made brief pleasantries, and by then, the girl had already slumped onto the table.
"Excuse me!" Feng Yan raised his glass slightly, glancing at the girl in the corner.
The man in front of him caught on and nodded lightly.
"Third Young Master has important matters to attend to, please go ahead."
Feng Yan nodded and stepped towards Xia Yinian.
"Why do you think Third Young Master is so nice to Xia Yinian?" whispered a woman sitting in the corner.
"Not just the Third Young Master. Old Master Feng treats her very well too," another woman frowned, clearly displeased.
"And Seventh Young Master, as well as Young Master Ling, can Xia Yinian’s life get any better?" the woman across scrunched her lips.
"Maybe she really has some merits, is it that easy to win the pity of so many with just a pretty face?"
The girl in the strapless evening dress took a sip of orange juice before raising her eyes to look at the three people at her table.
"Don’t you think about it, Young Master Ling, Seventh Young Master, and even Yaoshan’s Third Young Master Feng, what formidable people they are?"
"Have they not seen enough beautiful women? Why would they all get involved with one girl at the same time?"
"Moreover, if Young Master Ling, Seventh Young Master, and Third Young Master Feng were men who prioritized beauty over all, they wouldn’t be so welcomed by women."
The three women at the table, looking at the speaker, eventually nodded in agreement.
Among the four, the one in the strapless evening gown was the youngest and the only one drinking juice.
The girl glanced over the three people in front of her, raising an eyebrow.
"I heard that during the alchemy trials a few days ago, the organizers rated the essential oil produced by Xia Yinian very highly."
The girl looked around and continued in a lower voice: "Some even say that she is the dark horse in this Alchemy Competition, possibly capable of competing with Yu Wanqing."
"I’ve heard that Old Master Feng is a big fan of alchemy, so if Xia Yinian is indeed an Alchemy Master, it’s normal for the Old Master to like her."
"Third Young Master Feng is just a devoted grandson; if Grandpa Feng likes someone, he would treat them well."
"How do you know so much?" asked the woman sitting directly across from her, in a soft voice.
"Don’t worry about how I know; I just have a way of catching wind of things," the girl frowned slightly.
"I also heard that the rumors between Xia Yinian and Seventh Young Master were deliberately spread by someone wanting to harm her."
"Haven’t you thought about it? How could Xia Yinian almost drown in the pond for no reason?"
"To be honest, I don’t dislike Xia Yinian at all; she never enjoyed being high-profile, something that is much better than a certain person," said the girl as she darted a glance at Yu Wanqing and smirked.
"Maybe it’s because the people who are nice to her have a special status, she seems detestable."
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl continued to lower her head and drink her orange juice, as if the one who had just spoken was not her.
The other women glanced at her, then at Xia Yinian and the woman hanging off the arm of Seventh Young Master, and said nothing more.
Some people—you don’t realize until you compare... sigh, there are always those who are so high-profile that it’s unbearable.
