Ever since Old Mr. Wen agreed to help Xia Ruya organize her coming-of-age ceremony, Old Mrs. Wen had been openly interfering with the preparations of her coming-of-age ceremony, so much that the media knew everything about it. They had even published reports about Wen Xinya organizing her own coming-of-age ceremony.
Wen Xinya had suffered a huge blow.
Wen Xinya was the heiress of the Wen Family while Xia Ruya was only the adoptive daughter. Although they were both holding a coming-of-age ceremony each, the latter had received the help of the elders while the former had to handle it herself. Everyone understood the prejudice.
Everyone was initially doubtful of Wen Xinya's status as the successor of the Wen Family but soon stopped doubting it because of the Wen Family's attitude towards her. However, Old Mrs. Wen's actions made the public doubt Wen Xinya's identity again.
It was a tactic that Ning Shuqian often used.
