Chapter 1193: Xinya’s Anger

She spoke directly, no longer beating around the bush. There is no way Wen Xinya will be able to rebut this.

The smile on Wen Xinya’s face faded, replaced by an icy glare. “Yan Menglu, please mind your words. How the teacher picked me as a student is the teacher’s own decision. If you have any objections, please bring it up to her directly rather than gossiping behind her back, spreading malicious speculations and corrupting the teacher’s reputation.”

She already knew that Yan Menglu was aware of her mother’s relationship with Teacher Ji and was expecting this challenge. She had seen too many of this kind of provocation and was unfazed.

Yan Menglu was speechless as her provocation totally backfired on her. In anger, she retorted. “I am ‘spreading malicious speculations’? Wen Xinya, this is a known fact amongst the Capital University’s students. I do not acknowledge that I am ‘gossiping’. You should blame yourself, for letting people come up with such rumors about you.”

Yan Menglu was not someone who could be shut up by a few words and insults. She had that confident and superior aura present in the people from Harbor City. When facing Wen Xinya, she wanted to push her down in every place possible.

Wen Xinya laughed. “As far as I know, student Yan is from the Yan family of Harbor City. My Grampy once told me that the Yan Family is an educated family of scholars, and I’ve always yearned to meet them. But Ms. Yan’s words and actions from today’s observations have deeply disappointed me. The so-called educated scholar is speaking rashly. Wise men once said, ‘Do not look at indecency, do not speak indecently, do not act indecently.’ Ms. Yan has behaved so.”

What Wen Xinya said was untrue. Although Grampy did mention the Yan Family, he said something completely different. What he said was: The seeds of a tree do not stray far, the Yan Family are rotten from the roots.

Wen Xinya’s words could be described as unscrupulous, as it included the entire Yan Family. Yet she used it in Old Mr. Mo’s words, making her irrefutable. Yan Menglu wished that she could go up to Wen Xinya and give her two tight slaps.

However, she could not do that. The Yan Family had a long history and heritage in Harbor City as a family of educated scholars. If she acted so rudely, she would be proving Wen Xinya’s words and bringing shame to the entire Yan Family.

Yet, if she did not refute, would she not be letting Wen Xinya insult the Yan Family?

Whatever she did would be wrong. No matter what she did, she would at a disadvantage.

Xia Ruya held onto Yan Menglu’s hand, turning to Wen Xinya with a smile. “Xinya, isn’t that a bit too overboard? Teeth sometimes can also bite your own tongue, disagreements between people are also possible. Opposing opinions are inevitable and also very common. If you bring up family history and heritage during every conflict, that might be a little too harsh on others!”

Xia Ruya walked up to Wen Xinya warmly, smiling sincerely. “Of course, I know that you tend to be stricter and are used to nitpicking every small detail, but not everyone in this world has a morally upright senior like Old Mr. Mo to teach them with great care.”

Xia Ruya’s words meant one thing: Wen Xinya was too strict and harsh.

Yan Menglu looked at Xia Ruya in gratitude, her frustration ebbing away as she spoke proudly, “I’ve heard that the so-called gifted and talented women are all extremely arrogant and look down on others. Seems like... Miss Wen might have been contaminated with such bad habits.” Her words were sharp and her smile sullen. She continued brightly, “A wise man once said that. I’m not sure if Miss Wen has heard it.”

Wen Xinya smiled quietly. Watching Xia Ruya and Yan Menglu defend each other, she was suddenly reminded of Jiang Ruoyin, Jiang Yuqian, and Xia Ruxue.

Unfortunately, for those three brain-disabled friends, the Jiang Family was reduced to a mere third level family, Jiang Ruoyin could not even enter the door of their social circle. Jiang Yuqian... the Zhang Family and father Jiang had a divorce, father Jiang lost his job, and was later involved in a bribery case. His official position kept dropping lower and lower until Jiang Yuqian and her father finally left the Capital city.

As for Xia Ruxue, the Xia Family’s defeat was inevitable. Even if they sold their land for a large sum of money, with her secret operation on the Xia Family, they could only maintain their status as it would be difficult to return to their past glory.

Yan Menglu did not notice the look on Wen Xinya’s face. Laughing, she joyfully went on, “That is: ambitions greater than the sky, yet lifespan thinner than paper. I remember, there was once a well-known and talented girl in Capital city. The year she died, there was so much sorrow and grief.”

As soon as Xia Ruya heard this, her heartbeat sped up.

This really spelled trouble!

Wen Xinya stepped forward, her movements swift and fierce just like a beast from the jungle. She pinched Yan Menglu’s cheek. Due to her ferocious and sudden movements, Yan Menglu’s stepped back in response, trapping herself between Wen Xinya and the barricade.

Wen Xinya yelled, “Yan Menglu, I warned you earlier to be careful and cautious, yet you refused to listen. If that’s the case, I won’t care either. What you said just now, do you dare to say it in front of me and the Old Mr. Yan again?”

Her furious voice was intimidating and deterring.

Yan Menglu felt suffocated, her body stunned into shock by her. Her frozen body seemed to be shattered into pieces by her fierce aura. Her hands pinching onto her cheeks were strong as if they were about to crush her whole body, and her nails that were close to stabbing into her flesh were painfully stinging. Yet, the scariest was the horrible look in her eyes.

Her deep dark eyes appear calm, yet the calmer they were, the stronger the turbulent waves and tides beneath the surface. They were like the vortex in the sea, ready to swallow people whole, causing fear in others.

What was even more chilling was Wen Xinya’s words.

Wen Xinya smiled icily. “Do you dare?”

Yan Menglu was humiliated, how can she bear this. “Why wouldn’t I dare. Even if I repeated it, what can you do to me? I...”

Wen Xinya warned. “Miss Yan, I advise you to think carefully before you speak.”

Yan Menglu opened her mouth...

Xia Ruya quickly cut her off. “Lulu, what you said just now is not right. Between fellow students, there is bound to be verbal disputes and conflicts. However, when involving the elders, you must speak appropriately. Quick, apologize to Miss Wen.”

Yan Menglu, even if she violently insulted Wen Xinya, it would be alright with her, yet she just had to say this.
