Chapter 1187: Messing Around
In school, rumors about Wen Xinya had become increasingly more intense and had even spread to other departments of Capital University. In recent years, Wen Xinya was the hot topic of Capital city. After the Poise Magazine’s editorial, she became even more well-known. From a little gangster girl on the streets to her current status, her change was like the splendid transformation of a larva into a butterfly, a bat metamorphosing into a phoenix. Her life was legendary.
Such a reputation was naturally attracting the attention of the students, who were amazed that such talent was residing in Capital University with them.
Someone even released the video of Wen Xinya at the post-military training party, playing “Fighting the East Wind”, which shocked the entire campus.
Therefore, when Wen Xinya least expected it, her name and her talents were widely spread across the campus at an incredible speed.
So, when Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan came to find her and showed her the video, she was also shocked. “You know this video too!!”
At the post-military training party, everyone had performed for the show meticulously. Although it was only a small party event, many of the programs were quite outstanding. Wen Xinya knew that playing “Fighting the East Wind” was a little conspicuous, but at the time, that was the only song that would best express her feelings of admiration in her heart for the soldiers. Furthermore, this song could paint how these soldiers looked like heroes in her mind. Overwhelmed by her emotions and affection, she played this uncontrollably.
She also did not expect the sensational fame playing the song would get her, since there were few people present.
No one would have guessed that in just a few days, someone would make this performance video go viral.
Zhou Tianyu said, “You know where Beihua University stands. Many of the students there are self-proclaimed talented people. Your video became so popular in the internal forum of Beihua University that it has invited wide discussion amongst the student body, with many expressing admiration for your performance.”
When she learned about it, it had already begun to go viral on the forum of Beihua University. From her temperament to her looks to her talents, Wen Xinya was exceptional. It was only natural that this drew the attention of those self-proclaimed talented young men and young ladies.
Wen Xinya felt uncomfortable. She had thought that the video was only circulated within Capital University and would only spread in a small circle outside. To her surprise, it had reached this point.
Xu Tongxuan said, “Xiao Xunzi said that their school forum also has your video on it, but as the vice president of Qingyuan University Student Union, Xiao Xuanzi has the authority to control the forum, so he managed to stop it from spreading.”
Although it was merely a video, it caught a lot of attention. She did not believe that no one was plotting behind it, the other party must have devised some plan.
Wen Xinya went quiet and her beautiful eyebrows arched into a thin line. She continued sharply, “The only person who likes to use fame to attack people is Xia Ruya. This must be due to her manipulation.”
She had thought that after that Wen family incident, even if Xia Ruya hated her to the core, she would not act so quickly. She did not expect her to move so fast. This really surprised her.
Zhou Tianyu nodded in agreement. “Except her, I can’t think of anyone else.”
Xu Tongxuan said, “Xinya, regarding the accidental release of the video, it showcased a talented woman. But it was plotted by someone deliberately to cause an uproar. People’s focus will be shifted from the video to the intentions behind it. They will think that you were behind this, with the intention to leverage the opportunity to gain fame and get into Capital University. As a result, many will look at you with disdain. If that happens… you will not have an easy time at Capital University.”
Capital University was filled with talented people who were all very brilliant. They competed with each other all the time and would not hesitate to use others as stepping stones in order to get ahead.
Wen Xinya became quiet. How could she not understand Xu Tongxuan’s words? In her past life… it was precisely because of Xia Ruya and Ning Yuya’s schemes that caused her to be shunned out by everyone until she could no longer stay in school.
Zhou Tianyu said, “Xia Ruya has a vicious heart. This is surpassing the previous time where she used public opinion to attack you at Lan Feng Institute. Xinya, do you have a plan in mind?”
At Lan Feng Institute, what she had used was like a tangible knife, which was easy to stop and use against her. But now, she was using an intangible knife as her trick, by leveraging the power of the masses as a killer move. Even if it was exposed that the video release was due to Xia Ruya, she could just claim that she thought this video was good and thus shared it on the Internet. Regarding how much the video spread, it would have nothing to do with her.
Wen Xinya groaned. “Xia Ruya is so troublesome, and this one scheme definitely does not showcase the full extent of her plan. But I can’t guess what’s on her mind.”
Furthermore, since the video incident arose due to the rumor that she was only accepted as a student by Teacher Ji because she was good friends with her mother, despite there being no obvious connection between the two incidents, it must have been related. Based on the video alone, it was indeed easier to understand her intentions. But if Xia Ruya’s mind was so easy to read, why should she be so prepared?
Zhou Tianyu and Xu Tongxuan could not help but shudder, looking at each other after Wen Xinya’s words. Xu Tongxuan said, “If what you said is true, then Xia Ruya has become more unpredictable.”
When Xia Ruya returned to the capital, Xinya was not the only one who observed her closely, their group was merely being a little cautious. But now that Xia Ruya was back in the capital after how she fled, she must be prepared to start up a storm.
Zhou Tianyu frowned slightly. “What are you going to do now?”
Xia Ruya was entangled with her and was really relentless. Would it not be better for her to just remain the heir of the Li Family of Harbor City? Why must she come to the Capital city to keep getting into the mix?
Wen Xinya shook her head. “I think it’s better to wait and observe the changes first. Acting without a comprehensive understanding is not my usual style. If she wants to plot against me using the video, she can do as she likes. When have I ever been afraid of such cunning tricks?”
She also needed to use this incident to understand how low could Xia Ruya stoop to, and figure out Xia Ruya’s current methods and strengths. After all, she had experienced so many new things and disappeared for so long. Surely the way she thought would have changed.
