Chapter 1127: Reporting to School
It was the 1st of September, the first day of school at Capital University!
The weather was merry and the warm sun cast its golden rays down onto the earth and the freshmen who were standing below it.
The chauffeur, Tao, sent Wen Xinya to Capital University at ten in the morning.
Old Mr. Wen initially wanted to send Wen Xinya to school personally, but she turned him down and hence, he had no choice but to accept her refusal.
Wen Xinya stood in front of the entrance of Capital University and stared at the freshmen who were lugging their suitcases into the school compound alongside their parents and friends. They were all smiling proudly and smugly. Indeed… being admitted to Capital University was something to be proud of because it was the top university in the city.
Wen Xinya did not feel frustrated by the noisy crowd and was instead overjoyed.
The university that she dreamed of being admitted to in her previous lifetime was now right in front of her. Hence, she was much more excited and delighted than she thought she would be.
Wen Xinya said to Tao, “Uncle Tao, you may drop me off here. I’ll go in by myself.”
Staring at the small suitcase beside him, Tao said hesitantly, “Missy, I’d better send you all the way in!”
Although the suitcase was not too heavy, Wen Xinya was spoiled rotten and would definitely have a hard time lugging the suitcase by herself in the sweltering heat.
Wen Xinya said smilingly, “It’s alright, I can manage on my own.”
She then grabbed the suitcase from Tao. Although she was pampered, she was still strong enough to carry her own luggage. Besides… she didn’t have to actually carry it since she could just wheel it. Compared to her fellow schoolmates, her suitcase was considered to be small.
Tao did not insist any further, for he understood her character very well. “Missy, be careful.”
Wen Xinya nodded and followed the crowd to enter Capital University.
Due to the fact that it was the day of welcoming freshmen, the seniors were all busy handing out fliers and advertising for their respective clubs and societies. They were all actively bragging about the benefits of their clubs and societies to the freshmen, in a bid to recruit more members.
Wen Xinya could not help but be reminded of her first day at Qingyuan University in her previous lifetime.
On that day, she too, lugged her suitcase into Qingyuan University, though with a heavy heart at that time. She could not bring herself to be happy at all because she had not been admitted based on her own merit.
Back then, she was surrounded by numerous seniors who pleaded her to join their respective clubs and societies, perhaps because of her beautiful looks. Her ego was fed and she was spoiled for choice. The seniors even began arguing over her.
At the next moment, Xia Ruya and Ning Yuya walked towards her.
Ning Yuya stared at her with a look of disdain and quipped harshly. “The seniors ought to have some standards when it comes to recruiting new members. Don’t be so blind as to recruit everyone that you see. If you end up recruiting a silly dimwit, you might just ruin your club’s reputation.”
The seniors immediately stopped arguing and instead looked at Ning Yuya and Wen Xinya curiously.
As pale as a sheet, Wen Xinya retorted in exasperation. “Ning Yuya, don’t go overboard. What has me joining a club got to do with you?”
Rivals were bound to run into each other. Despite there being thousands of freshmen on the first day of school, she still ran into Xia Ruya and Ning Yuya. Not to mention… they were the ones whom she dreaded seeing the most.
She spent the entire summer break being mocked by Ning Yuya and Xia Ruya.
She could not put her misery and agony into words at all.
Ning Yuya gibed. “Of course it doesn’t have anything to do with me, but it does have something to do with the seniors. I just can’t bear to see the seniors getting deceived by that beautiful face of yours. Little do they know, that beneath that pretty face, lies an ugly, vicious, filthy, boorish and imbecile soul.”
“You…” Wen Xinya turned as red as a tomato. She was overwhelmed with anger but did not know what to say in return.
Ning Yuya was extremely smug and wanted to provoke her even further.
Xia Ruya then tugged her arm and said, “Yuya, cut it out. Xinya is very pitiful too.”
Wen Xinya flew into a rage at the instant that she saw the pretentious look of sympathy on Xia Ruya’s face. “Xia Ruya, I don’t need you to be a hypocrite and pretend to take pity on me.”
She could allow others to call her names, but she would never let anyone else take pity on her. Her pride and dignity was the only thing that she was proud of.
Xia Ruya acted as if she did not expect Wen Xinya to treat her that way. She stood rooted to the ground in shock with tears in her eyes. She looked rather pitiful and she murmured, “Xinya I… I’m sorry. Yuya didn’t mean to say that about you either. If you’re feeling upset about that, I can apologize to you on her behalf.”
Her pretentiousness helped her win everyone over.
Wen Xinya was the only one who knew how greedy and vicious Xia Ruya really was. “This is between me and Ning Yuya. What has this got to do with you? Don’t be a busybody.”
At that moment, everyone looked at her with a different gaze in their eyes.
Previously, Ning Yuya seemed like the sinner to everyone, because of the harsh remarks that she made about Wen Xinya. However, after seeing how Wen Xinya refused to accept the innocent Xia Ruya’s apology and even scolded her, everyone began to think that Wen Xinya deserved to be treated that way.
The seniors secretly left.
However, Wen Xinya was not bothered at all.
Extremely infuriated, Ning Yuya said, “Wen Xinya, you’re being too much. Ruya was kind enough to put in a good word for you and yet, you still criticized her like that.”
Xia Ruya gazed at Wen Xinya aggrievedly while trying to hold her tears back.
If she were to cry immediately, she would seem just like a pretentious woman. Hence, her determination would win her more sympathy.
Wen Xinya was not unfamiliar with her tricks and pretense. Hence, she was not at all bothered or upset about it.
Reason being, she could still pursue her dreams of majoring in jewelry design, which she loved.
The memories put a smile on Wen Xinya’s face. It was such a pity… that she was full of ambitions back then, but did not expect that her dreams would be shattered.
Wen Xinya took a deep breath and got rid of her negative feelings.
Xia Ruya… we probably won’t end up in the same university in this lifetime!
Just as she was deep in thought, she heard someone calling her name.
“Miss Wen…”
