Wen Xinya stepped into the main floor of the ballroom and stood silently. She had a sense of calmness and elegance in her, just like a viburnum tree. Her beauty was enhanced with purity, and not even the grandness of the majestic chandelier in the ballroom could compare to her demeanor.

This was the first time she had ever attended a party from within the circle. Everyone was curious about the Young Missus Wen and had all of their attention on her.

When she had just returned to the Wen Family, there were rumors about her circulating in the circle. They said she was an unrefined and arrogant person, lacking etiquette and intelligence. Afterward, during the period when her scandals were published by the media, she had used her own methods to resolve the matter and was able to demand a huge sum of compensation from those media companies. This was the first impression she gave to the public. Also, everyone had a deep impression on the words she spoke to the reporters — "If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. For those who had offended me, I will avenge a hundred times!"

She had displayed such arrogance on that day. It was such a beautiful victory that no one dared challenge her!

Moreover, Old Mr. Wen had also discreetly given her tremendous support and acknowledgment through his response to the media. Thus, everyone was looking forward to the day of her introductory banquet event.

The Young Missus Wen was no ordinary girl indeed!

This was the impression everyone in the circle had of her.

Wen Xinya did not mind the curious looks at all. She took a glass of red wine from the waiter and saw Han Mofeng and Ling Qingxuan walking towards her.

"I would have expected you to arrive together with Xu-er." Han Mofeng had just arrived. He noticed Wen Xinya was alone and therefore knew that Xu-er had not arrived yet. It was the first time Wen Xinya attended a formal party in the circle, and it would be best if someone she knew accompanied her.

"I asked Xu-er earlier, but he said he was busy and would be late for the party. So I came alone." Wen Xinya understood that Xu Zhenyu was still very much affected by their previous scandalous news and wanted to keep a distance from her in public.

Ling Qingxuan noticed her glass was empty. He took a glass filled with red wine from the waiter and replaced the empty glass in her hand. "Let's not bother about him. He's always the last one to arrive for any event."

Wen Xinya took over the new glass of wine. She smelled the fragrant, sweet scent from the glass and tasted it. She liked it. "Are you guys aware that Xu-er has mentioned about joining the military?"

Han Mofeng was shocked. "I've not heard him saying anything about this!"

Ling Qingxuan was taken aback as well. "How is that possible? Previously, when Old Mr. Xu mentioned sending him to the military camp, he opposed the idea strongly. Why did he suddenly change his mind?"

"You guys had better find a chance to talk to him. The military training camp is not a fun place. One must have a strong determination. I'm just worried that he might not be serious." Wen Xinya thought they knew about his decision, but did not expect Xu Zhenyu to keep it from even Han Mofeng.

Han Mofeng nodded. He could see mixed emotions from Wen Xinya's eyes. He grew up with Xu Zhenyu and understood him well. Ever since the scandalous reports, Xu Zhenyu became depressed. Now that he had suddenly changed his mind about joining the military, it was obvious that he made this decision because of Wen Xinya.

Ling Qingxuan did not think too much about it. "It's good that Xu-er has decided to join the military. I was still worried he might continue to waste his youth away. He has already passed the playful age and should start giving some serious thoughts about his future."
