Wen Shufen was stunned into silence. Why did she feel frightened all of a sudden? This Lu Xinyi was so scary.
How could Lu Xinyi do that? Was she really than invincible that she wouldn’t yield to Wen Shufen?
“Lu Xinyi! You impudent! Where are getting such confidence? Have you no shame at all?” Wen Shufen spat out which such intense hatred in her eyes. Deep inside, her feelings were in havoc. She was truly shaken by Lu Xinyi’s words.
Wen Shufen was a known bully within the academy. Because she couldn’t pa.s.s the main entrance exam, she resorted to taking short courses to be able to attend Silver Leaf.
Her arrogance moved up to another level when she became a right hand of one of the members of Cream of the Crop. She’d always use this fact to hara.s.s the other students of the academy.
For other students who were watching the scene before them, they were glad that someone was able to put Wen Shufen in her right place.
She dared to bully Lu Xinyi? Who would have thought that today, the victim becomes the bully herself?
Lu Xinyi tossed her braided hair behind her before regarding her.
“I should be the one asking those questions. Where are you getting such confidence to tell me to leave this academy when you are just a student like me?” she replied, her face remained expressionless.
Only Tang Lilou, who was sitting beside her, took notice of the sudden coldness in Lu Xinyi’s eyes with an intent that wouldn’t please anyone. She inched forward to take a closer look at Lu Xinyi’s face.
This Lu Xinyi unexpectedly talked back to those who try to bully her. All the students within the cafeteria were stunned into silence.
“Lu Xinyi, do you really think you are welcome here at Silver Leaf? Your presence itself will tarnish the school’s reputation. Do you think we have no way of kicking you out of this school? Just wait and see, Lu Xinyi. You aren’t going to stay here for long!”
Hearing those threats, Lu Xinyi let out a low chuckle and rubbed her chin.
“Eh? How is that possible? How could a fellow student who came from no-name family be so powerful that she will dare to kick me out, a student favored by the Shen family? Could it be Miss Schoolmate has a bigger leg to hug than me? I wonder what kind of idiot would dare to challenge ‘my person’.” .
Sure enough, Wen Shufen’s complexion suddenly changed.
Although Lu Xinyi hadn’t directly admitted her relations.h.i.+p with President Shen, her words were ambiguous. When she mentioned her person, was she referring to the demon king himself?
Who in their right mind would challenge President Shen?
Within the business world, he was considered a young emperor who was able to build his empire overnight. Seven years ago, the Shen family wasn’t part of the Big 5 families; and now, their influence within the capital was comparable with the Li family.
It was all because of Shen Yi that the Shen family was being acknowledged by everyone. To offend such person… Wen Shufen wanted to cry.
If Lu Xinyi really had such power over the demon king, her career as a professional chef would be over even before it starts.
Lu Xinyi had deliberately made a point about her person with a few words to threaten Wen Shufen. She was clearly hinting that she couldn’t be bothered with Wen Shufen’s empty threats when she had Shen Yi to back her up.
Finding no other words to defend herself, Wen Shufen could only retreat for now.
“You’ll pay for this, Lu Xinyi,” she hissed before storming out of the cafeteria, with her companions trailing behind.
“I’ll be waiting!” Lu Xinyi called out with a laugh.
Ye Xieren, Surya Rath.o.r.e, and Tang Liang had stood closely on their table, speechless from the commotion that just happened. Shaking his head, Ye Xieren sat across Lu Xinyi, lazily lifting his legs to the other chair for support.
“d.a.m.n. First day of school, and you’re already making enemies,” he commented.
Lu Xinyi shrugged her shoulders.
“They’re the one who started it, but I’m willing to put an end to their bulls.h.i.+t.”
Ye Xieren stared at her for a moment, probably surprised by her vulgar words.
“So fiery. I like that.”
“Sister Lu has a very sharp tongue,” Surya Rath.o.r.e nodded.
“It would be wise to stay low-profile, Xin Jiejie. That woman was Wen Shufen, and she’ll probably tell Han Yixin what happened today.” Tang Liang said worriedly as he sat beside his sister.
“Han Yixin? Isn’t that the current rank number 10 this year?” Ye Xieren asked with interest. Find authorized novels in ReadNovelFull，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
“En,” Tang Liang replied, “She also holds the t.i.tle ‘Queen of Patisserie’ within the academy. She started her own club that mainly focused on developing and improving cakes and pastries. So don’t get surprised if she shows up one of these days.”
Hearing that, Lu Xinyi laughed. “Then let her come. I’ll let them see that they have chosen the wrong enemy.”
“I thought you said you don’t want violence,” Ye Xieren reminded her.
“Eh? But violence is better if one couldn’t get past of one’s stupidity.”
—
On the second floor of the cafeteria, two men were watching the group of junior year talking among one another. They were having their dinner when Lu Xinyi and her cla.s.smates stepped inside the cafeteria.
A loud bang coming from their table had taken their attention. It was then they saw Wen Shufen trying to hara.s.s Lu Xinyi into submission, but the later easily swat away the fly in front of her, angering Wen Shufen further.
“Lingyu, I didn’t know your sister could be so scary. She easily suppressed Wen Shufen and humiliated her instead. Does this kind of savageness run to your family?” Huang Shenghao said as he made a slurp from his Miso Ramen.
Tian Lingyu looked up from the book he was reading and then turned his eyes to Lu Xinyi’s way. He was glad that she had grown some backbone over the years they haven’t met and was able to stand up for herself now.
“Did you expect less from our family? Members of the Lu family are no pushovers,” he replied as he closed his book.
Huang Shenghao frowned. He then realized what Lu Xinyi started. He suddenly lost his appet.i.te and didn’t finish his food. Surely, this commotion would reach Han Yixin’s ears, and soon, a challenge for a cooking battle between her and Lu Xinyi would surface.
Man, it was hard to be ranked number one will all the duties thrown his way. He glanced at Tian Lingyu, seeing him taking a bite on his food. He was starting to think that Tian Lingyu settled at rank number two so he could avoid the trouble of being number one.
Since it was the start of a new school year, all points of the students were reset and went back to zero. The senior year was also antic.i.p.ating the challenges that would start once the midterm pa.s.ses, but before that, all students must earn the necessary score to stay within the academy.
“Lingyu, it’s only the first day; and your sister is already asking for trouble. Han Yixin will not be happy with his.”
“Do I care if she’s happy or not? If she’s offended by Xinxin’s action, then they could settle the problem in a cooking battle.” Tian Lingyu said nonchalantly as he continued to eat while watching his sister from afar. “Han Yixin can try, but she cannot beat Xinxin easily.”
Huang Shenghao made a low whistle.
“Wow, you really have such confidence in your sister.”
“With her performance during the devil’s food cake, you still doubt her ability?” Tian Lingyu retorted.
In all honesty, his sister’s specialty was cakes and pastries. Even he could tell that she had exceptional skills in baking than him. Her sweet tooth addiction was caused by him anyway so anything that was related to cakes and sweets would surely get her utmost attention.
Why else would that old shop of Gong Yijun and his mother be popular on their area if it wasn’t for Lu Xinyi?
Anyone could possibly beat her in a cooking battle except for baking cakes and pastries. Lu Xinyi was on another level once her hands started to do its magic. Han Yixin should be worried and prepare herself to pa.s.s her t.i.tle ‘Queen of Patisserie’ to Lu Xinyi soon.
