Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress Chapter 1070 - Traitor

Chapter 1070: Traitor

Si Yiyan arranged for a ten-seater limousine to pick them up.
The guys were having a casual conversation in the backseat. Gu Junling was talkative while Ling Qingxuan was bubbly. Han Mofeng did not make things difficult for Si Yiyan, either. Of course, they were all talking about common topics amongst men.
Gu Junling took the chance to sound Si Yiyan out, in a bid to find out about his family background. Being smart and sharp, Si Yiyan obviously understood what he was trying to do. However, he played along because he knew that they were just concerned about Wen Xinya.
Although Han Mofeng was not as upset with Si Yiyan as he used to be, he still felt rather conflicted. As Wen Xinya’s friend, he ought to respect Wen Xinya’s choice and decision. Besides, there seemed to be no flaw in Si Yiyan’s appearance, manners, eloquence, and aura. Xu Zhenyu may not be inferior, but he still lacked a brilliant and scheming mind.
The girls chatted merrily in front.
Zhou Tianyu held onto Wen Xinya’s hand and said in awe, “He’s indeed the rare Mr. Perfect. We pale in comparison to him.”
She had observed Si Yiyan for a long time. Putting the fact that he had risked his life to rescue Wen Xinya aside, she also noticed that Si Yiyan had never once taken his eyes off Wen Xinya.
Xu Tongxuan laughed and said, “Look at those two rascals behind. When we were in the room, they were still thinking of how they should punish you. In the end, they ended up paling in comparison to Si Yiyan. I feel so ashamed for them.”
Wen Xinya did not show her amusement. Everyone was too shocked by Si Yiyan’s brave decision to step into the dangerous fire to rescue Wen Xinya, so much that they did not even think about anything else. After recovering from the shock, they felt that they would be letting Si Yiyan off too easy if they were to just let the matter slide.
Du Ruo giggled and said, “Xinya and Brother Si are so compatible with each other. They’re both elegant and talented. One of them is like bamboo in the mountains which has been through snowstorms, while the other is opulent and resplendently beautiful like a flower in spring.”
They nodded in agreement with Du Ruo.
Zhou Tianyu lowered her volume and asked, “Xinya, this Si Yiyan doesn’t seem like a simple person. He’s full of rigor and he looks murderous too. How much do you know about his background?”
Zhou Tianyu was always sharp and sensitive when it came to judging people. Hence, she was rather worried about Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya nodded hesitantly and said, “I know all about his background. He’s never hid anything from me before.”
Her answer was sincere and concise.
After exchanging glances with Zhou Tianyu, Xu Tongxuan said, “Si Yiyan seems to be very mysterious. However, none of the promising youths in our city can compare to him in terms of looks and aura. Logically speaking, such an outstanding man should be very well known. We’ve been living here for so many years, but we’ve never once seen him before. Such a powerful man like him is not easy to control. We’re just worried that you might be too deep into the relationship.”
Wen Xinya had her own reasons for not telling them about her boyfriend’s background and true identity. As her friends, they could understand her plight, though they had to say what was necessary.
Touched to know that they were doing it all for her own good, Wen Xinya said, “I know you guys are worried about me. He’s indeed very outstanding, but I’m not weak either. Besides, I won’t forever stay this way. I’ll slowly strengthen myself and grow to be as strong as him. Besides… he’s also my Grampy’s best student. My Grampy is never wrong about people. Not to mention, he treats me very well too. Remember when I got abducted? Both times… he risked his own life to save mine, just like what he did just now…”
She could not put Si Yiyan’s attributes into words, neither could she make others experience the good that he had done her. She was the only one who could feel it.
Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan remained silent. All women fantasized about being rescued by a hero. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many stories about damsels in distress being saved by the hero ever since history. Any woman would be touched by a man who risked his life to save hers.
Xinya has always been calm and rational. She’s never the type to let love take over her head. She probably has her own ideas. I should have faith in her.
Just like Xinya said, Si Yiyan is Old Mr. Mo’s best student and she’s Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter. They definitely have a strong relationship.
Du Ruo laughed and said, “Xinya, you should know him best. However, you just have to remember that we’ll always be by your side to support you, regardless of your decision.”
She was not as conscientious as Zhou Tianyu or as worried as Xu Tongxuan. She felt that Wen Xinya’s happiness was the most important.
The few girls held onto Wen Xinya’s hand and said, “Ruoruo is right. We’ll be by your side no matter what happens.”
No matter what, Wen Xinya’s happiness mattered the most.
“Thanks, guys!” Wen Xinya was moved to tears and her eyes began to feel a little painful. However, she was extremely happy.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Amongst the few of them, Wen Xinya had it the toughest. Hence, everyone was more worried about her.
Zhou Tianyu poked Wen Xinya’s arm and laughed out loud. “I’ve yet to chide you. When your boyfriend apologized to us after we left the building, you rushed to defend him and put the blame on yourself before we even said anything. It’s no wonder that they always say that girls are traitors. You’ve yet to marry him and yet, you’re already siding with him.”
Extremely embarrassed, Wen Xinya said, “I… Since when…”
Fine, she admitted that she was really worried that her friends would be displeased with Si Yiyan. That’s why…
Noticing that she seemed to be embarrassed, Xu Tongxuan laughed loudly and said, “You’re still denying. Be lucky that we didn’t call you out for prioritizing your boyfriend over your friends.”
Wen Xinya’s face turned sullen and she glared at her. “Go ahead and keep laughing. There’ll come a day that I laugh at you guys instead.”
Du Ruo giggled and said, “Hehe, this is what they mean by turning embarrassed and angry.”
Zhou Tianyu put an arm around Du Ruo’s shoulder. She giggled and said, “Here, here, here. Sis Du, let me tell you, it’s not good to be too shrewd. Have you ever heard that you won’t have friends if you’re too blunt all the time?”
Du Ruo was bewildered.
Wen Xinya gritted her teeth angrily and wondered if her friends were insulting her on purpose.
