The tears that were held back in Xia Ruya’s eyes suddenly fell as she looked towards Chu Jingnan, who walked through the crowd, as if she saw her savior. Her eyes were reddened as she bit her lips tightly, looking like an adorable frightened rabbit.
Frowning slightly, Chu Jingnan looked at the pitiful, mistreated Xia Ruya, and the Wen Xinya nearby who had on a cold look. With a stern look on his graceful and gentle face, he said, “Miss Wen, what’s going on?”
Wen Xinya watched Chu Jingnan’s sudden appearance as hidden turmoil surged in her deep, dark eyes. As memories of her previous lifetime played in her mind, overwhelming her with resentment, hatred, and anger, her expression varied non-stop.
Her reddened eyes, filled with streaks of bloody veins interlacing like cobwebs, looked frighteningly crazy.
Inexplicably, Chu Jingnan fell into those eyes of hers, into the world spun by cobwebs. His mind was spinning with her pair of eyes with hidden turmoil, resentment, and hatred, as if only her pair of dark, eerie eyes remained in his world.
“So it’s the honorable President Chu.” With a deep breath, Wen Xinya restrained all of her emotions.
She thought of Si Yiyan. As the details of Si Yiyan danced in her brain at this moment, her heart miraculously calmed down.
Today was the first day of the rest of her life. In her previous lifetime, she had given up everything for Chu Jingnan and ended up as the dead soul that completed Xia Ruya and Chu Jingnan’s love story. This lifetime… to meet again, he was no longer the man that she loved, but an ungrateful jerk who exploited her cruelly.
What he had owed her, she would make him pay for all of them!
Chu Jingnan sensitively felt the whole process—from Wen Xinya looking at him with a complicated glare with repeated turmoil, to finally settling into calmness. In a sudden panic, his tone became unfriendly as well. “Miss Wen, I’m asking you—what happened just now?”
Wen Xinya raised her eyes and looked at him, her glare sharp as blades, voice harsh as frost. “The honorable President Chu, please take note of your words. I didn’t break any rules by the institute or the student union—you don’t have to speak to me with such a tone used to interrogate criminals.”
Chu Jingnan frowned slightly—by going head-on with him in front of the crowd, she made him look very bad. Furthermore, he was the newly elected president of the student union, and she actually did not spare him any face at all, making it hard for him to command authority in front of everyone. “You’ve gotten into an argument and conflict with others, hence disrupting order within the institute. The student union has the rights to assist the institute to manage the school grounds—I naturally can’t turn a blind eye.”
Wen Xinya looked at him sarcastically and asked, “Which eye of yours saw me getting into an argument and conflict with others?” She then shifted her glance towards the surrounding crowd, and asked plainly, “Did you guys also see me and Miss Xia getting into an argument?” Everyone’s eyes looked towards Xia Ruya. Wen Xinya looked at Chu Jingnan and sneered. “The honorable President Chu, I respect you as the president of the student union. But, please don’t make slanderous accusations without any grounds before you find out the truth of the matter.”
“If that’s the case, why is Miss Xia crying so devastatingly?” Chu Jingnan could hardly hold his expression. He had just gotten elected as the president of the student union—if he were to act out rashly without understanding the truth, it would hurt his reputation. Thus, his tone softened drastically into an inquiring one.
Wen Xinya laughed coldly. “That’s funny. I didn’t hit her, didn’t scold her—it’s none of my business that she’s a crybaby. Even if the honorable President Chu has a tender heart for the fairer sex, you’ll have to get the truth of the matter clear.”
The veins on Chu Jingnan’s forehead throbbed non-stop. Such provoking words seriously threatened his authority as the president of the student union. Forbearing his anger, he said, “Precisely because I don’t know the truth of the matter, I’m inquiring from you. With you being uncooperative like this, how can I know what happened?”
Wen Xinya smiled slightly. A seventeen years old Chu Jingnan was still a tad too green—revealing his emotions with a slight provocation, turning his graceful, gentle expression into a twisted, trembling one, his pair of neat brows raising slightly with a hazy aura. “What a joke—I’m not the only one involved. If I’m not cooperative, shouldn’t there be someone who’s willing to cooperate? The honorable President Chu is holding it against me alone, what does it mean—unless you’re biased against me?”
Chu Jingnan’s expression became somber as he looked at Wen Xinya and asked, “Miss Wen, you’re thinking too much. I’ve only met you today, how would I be biased against you—instead, Miss Wen is going against me all the time—unless you’re biased against me?”
Wen Xinya waved her hand and said, “I’ll reply you with the same words.”
Chu Jingnan deeply felt that this Wen Xinya was too hard to deal with—not only did she have a glib tongue, her thoughts were also deep and inaccessible by him.
Xia Ruya saw them going head-to-head with each other, bit her lips tightly, tears falling from her eyes as she sobbed. “President Chu, I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Stop arguing.”
Unwilling to say other things—and they couldn’t be said!
Chu Jingnan only felt that this girl’s tears were so clear that it made his heart ache inexplicably. He consoled her gently. “Is there any misunderstanding between you and Miss Wen—I think Miss Wen isn’t an unreasonable person, you can simply talk things out with her.”
Look, what altisonant words—not offending both parties and demonstrating his own graciousness. People say that birds of a feather flock together—no wonder in her previous lifetime, Chu Jingnan and Xia Ruya became a pair, because both of them were hypocritical people.
A jerk and a slut, indeed a match made in heaven.
“Is that all from the honorable President Chu? Otherwise, I’ll take my leave!” Wen Xinya couldn’t be bothered with Xia Ruya’s acting anymore. She had already exhausted all her tactics and couldn’t play any more tricks—unless she was not afraid of being criticized by the massive crowd around them?
“Xinya, no matter if you believe it or not—I’m really grateful to the Wen Family for raising me up for twelve years, even allowing me to find my birth parents and family. Otherwise, I don’t know how I’ll be like now. Precisely because of this, I’d like to get close to you.” Xia Ruya’s eyes were reddened, two streaks left behind by tears hung on her fair cheeks which were blushing but not covering her good looks, instead, triggering everyone’s compassion even more easily.
What a touching speech! Many people around already started sharing piteous looks for Xia Ruya.
Wen Xinya knew that even if she exposed Xia Ruya’s scheme to defame her, with her positive influence, she would also not end up with a bad reputation. Everyone would only feel that she was frail and pitiful, while feeling that Wen Xinya had an overbearing character even if her reputation was not ruined by Xia Ruya.
Chu Jingnan said, “Since Miss Xia is so sincere, would Miss Wen stop pursuing the matter!”
Wen Xinya turned and looked back at Xia Ruya, her cold face gradually beaming with a smile which felt like a viburnum tree formed by frost, radiating a delicate, jade-like glamor and beauty. Under the bright light of the sun, the rays emitted only made one feel a bone-piercing, bitingly cold chill.
Chu Jingnan only felt as if his heart had been pierced!
