Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 47: The Power Of The Media

"Good morning, Grampy, Uncle Zhang, Mother Jiang, Mother He!" Wen Xinya greeted them as she walked into the living room. After doing some morning exercises, she freshened herself after taking a bath. Fortunately, with Si Yiyan's help last night she did not catch a cold though she was exposed to the chill wind of the night.

The ambiance in the living room was intense. Old Master Mo was holding the newspaper in his hands and he looked serious. "You mentioned you attended a birthday party last night. Was Second Young Master Xu the birthday boy?"

"That's right! Last night, Xu-er introduced me to his group of friends from society. Everyone had a great time," replied Wen Xinya. She had a weird feeling. Grampy had never probed about anything relating to her personal life. Why was he showing concern towards her friends this morning?

Old Master Mo did not look happy. He handed the newspaper over to Wen Xinya and said, "Look at it yourself!"

Wen Xinya took over the newspaper and looked at it. The headline wrote: Young Missus Wen's secret rendezvous with Second Young Master Xu in the evening!!!

There were three exclamation marks added to the end of the headline. This clearly indicated there was an affair going on between them.

Following the headline was four photographs. The first one showed both of them walking out from the Ninth-Heaven Club. The second was a picture of Xu Zhenyu hugging her. The third picture showed Wen Xinya putting on an ear stud for Xu Zhenyu. It was a little blurry, plus some trick with the camera's angle it appeared that Wen Xinya was kissing on his cheek. The last photograph showed Wen Xinya helping Xu Zhenyu getting into the taxi! And there were two red circles to highlight each of their ears. Anyone who was close to Xu Zhenyu would notice the difference in his ear studs.

The written content was even more shocking. It revealed everything about Wen Xinya's past identity for the past 15 years. It also reported how Xu Zhenyu was a spoiled brat and how this spoiled brat made use of his wealth to support Wen Xinya's bad behavior. Wen Xinya was described as an unrefined person with no virtues and a bad character. In fact, she has had numerous secret affairs with many different male counterparts.

Wen Xinya took a deep breath and placed the newspaper on the table. "Grampy, there is nothing going on between me and Xu Zhenyu. It wasn't anything like what the newspaper described. Xu Zhenyu was dead drunk last night and I had to send him home by taxi. As for the ear stud, I was rushing and did not have time to buy a birthday present for him. Therefore I gave him my ear stud as a present. It doesn't mean anything special."

Old Master Mo believed her. "The ear stud with a red diamond on your ear. Is it a gift from Xu Zhenyu?" he asked.

Wen Xinya unconsciously raised her hand to feel the ear stud and replied, "Yes, it is."

Old Master Mo frowned. He said, "This ear stud is extremely valuable. You should have avoided accepting such an expensive gift."

Though Grampy was a little unhappy, he was not really angry with her. Considering she was young and innocent, she could be inexperienced and did not handle such matters well. Thus creating an opportunity for the media to come up with a story that was untrue. Little did he expect that after her rebirth, Wen Xinya and Xu Zhenyu had developed their relationship into a deeper level.

Wen Xinya frowned too. "I didn't expect things to turn out this way. Obviously, I was being monitored and someone was out to get me. I just returned to the Wen Family and the people in the media industry have been watching me closely. They will make use of the slightest opportunity to blow up any news on me and create rumors. Whoever was out to get me, he just found a perfect timing."
