Chapter 1192: Yan Menglu’s Taunt
These few days, Wen Xinya was also paying attention to the internal affairs of the Wen Corporation. She found out that Grandpa had already taken control of most of the company and she could finally let go of her worry.
After Grandpa had regained control of the Wen Corporation, they were no longer completely on the defense in their battle against the Korean-Chinese Alliance.
Although Grandpa was unable to interfere with the entertainment city project, with him there, he would be able to disrupt their plan from going smoothly. The more they could disrupt the project, the more the Korean-Chinese Alliance would make their moves. This would not only create opportunities for them to defeat the organization but also help them to buy more time.
In the future, even if Korean-Chinese Alliance managed to succeed, the Wen Corporation would still be stable under Grandpa’s control.
Thinking about it, Wen Haowen and Ning Shuqian should still be celebrating since Grandpa was unable to directly interfere with the entertainment city project. They were unaware that Grandpa’s action was precisely to draw the line between the entertainment city project and the Wen Corporation. The less the project gained, the more the Wen Corporation would benefit.
However, n.o.body would come to this realization at this point in time.
Since the arrogant Korean-Chinese Alliance would never think that their plans had already been exposed.
The ending was set.
Wen Xinya could not help but let out a big grin.
“Yo, how strange, I’m actually seeing the talented Miss Wen in school. I thought you were the proud student of Teacher Ji who doesn’t have to come for lessons?” A voice snickered haughtily.
Wen Xinya slowly came to a stop and looked up to see Yan Menglu and Xia Ruya.
Yan Menglu was wearing a red-furred collar coat. She was full of grace and luxury, but her slender eyes were filled with aggression.
Xia Ruya was wearing a fur coat of the same brand. The white-collar of the coat complemented her gorgeous and fair face. Her beauty was elegant yet subtle like an orchid, exuding a completely different aura despite wearing the same design but of a different color.
Wen Xinya gave a faint smile. Hidden behind it was indifference. “Who told you that I don’t have to come to school for lessons after becoming Teacher Ji’s student? Anyways… Why does it matter to you if I come to school or not?”
She said bluntly without any restraint.
Yan Menglu seethed with rage. As the Yan Family’s princess, she grew up with everybody in the palms of her hands. They would all flatter her and let her have her way. Never was she treated this way before.
Xia Ruya gently tugged her arm. She looked at Wen Xinya and smiled sweetly. “Miss Wen, what a coincidence. Today, Lulu said she’s going to bring me for a look around the jewelry design course. I did not expect to meet you here.”
With such a gentle and friendly smile, along with her delicate voice, anybody would let down their guards.
However, Wen Xinya was not fooled. “Capital University is only this big. It’s only natural to meet each other in school. There’s no coincidence in this. I don’t remember us ever being this friendly. The Wen Family and Li Family also do not have any relations. There’s no need for any greetings.”
Wen Xinya’s sarcasm was directed at Xia Ruya.
Xia Ruya was smart and understood it. Her face turned pale with awkwardness for a moment but was overshadowed by her calm and gentle demeanor.
She had been fighting with Wen Xinya for so long with resentment that was hard to resolve. Even if Wen Xinya could ignore her and treat her as a stranger, she could not do the same.
Because she was afraid of Wen Xinya treating her this way the most.
In this world, there was nothing worse than being treated like air.
Yan Menglu did not lose her senses even after hearing Wen Xinya’s words. She did not rush to defend Xia Ruya either, unlike the brainwashed Jiang Yuqian. She smiled brightly and said, “Wen Xinya, to be honest, I really admire you. Who knew you still have the audacity to walk around in school so openly like this…” She chuckled before continuing, “Don’t tell me, you don’t actually know what the students in school are saying behind your back!”
After speaking, she let out a hearty laugh and looked at Wen Xinya tauntingly.
Wen Xinya laughed as well. Compared to Yan Menglu, her laughter did not hide her true feelings. It was cold and sharp, just like the sound of ice breaking. She said, “I really don’t know what everybody’s saying. Why don’t Miss Yan explain to me!”
Yan Menglu maintained her smile even under Wen Xinya’s cold glare. She continued nonchalantly, “Don’t know if you are acting or not, but you should know that best. Don’t think that you can get over this by just acting dumb.”
Wen Xinya said regretfully, “What a shame. It’s rare for me to walk around in school and run into Miss Yan here. I thought that Miss Yan would have many things to say to me, but since you are not willing to tell me, I won’t force you. I’m just afraid that if you don’t say it now, you’ll never get the chance to again.”
Was it really a coincidence running into Yan Menglu? Naturally, she did not believe that. Yan Menglu was just looking for an opportunity to mock her. Now that she gave her a chance to do so, she was not taking it.
Yan Menglu could tell the underlying meaning in her words. Her face turned red with rage and she retorted. “Wen Xinya, don’t think that you are above everyone else just because you are a student of Teacher Ji. Everyone knows clearly the true reason why she even picked you.”
Whenever she thought of Wen Xinya who was chosen to be Teacher Ji’s student, Yan Menglu was filled with anger. Rather than looking up to that Ji s.h.i.+han, it was because her pride would not let her accept this.
She was a prodigy in jewelry design and was acknowledged by many in the high society of Harbor City. She had received many honors which greatly satisfied her prideful self. Now that she had given up on her education in Harbor City and came to Capital city, how was it possible that she was defeated by a hooligan who wandered the streets for fifteen years?
What would people think of her if this were to be spread to Harbor City? They would think that she was really nothing compared to Wen Xinya. At that time, how would she maintain her dignity and foothold in society?
This was the only stain in her smooth-sailing life.
How could she accept this?
Wen Xinya could not understand her. Her smile faded and she asked, “What do you mean by that? Please explain!”
The news that Teacher Ji only chose her as her student since she had good relations with her mother was spread throughout Capital University. In fact, the entire high society in Capital city probably knew about this as well. However, as long as she refused to acknowledge this, who could force it on her?
