Chapter 304: Okay, Wen Xinya—You Win!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After sending Xia Ruya back to the grand hall, Chu Jingnan went to look for Wen Xinya!

Wen Xinya was standing in a corner of the grand hall with a gla.s.s of red wine in her hand. As she casually watched the performances on the stage, she had on a dreamy, lonely expression, as if worn out by the vicissitudes of life.

At this moment he realized that he didn’t recognize the Wen Xinya before him again. In his eyes, Wen Xinya was always peerlessly beautiful, bedazzling in anger, and elegant in hostility—since when was she lonely like this.

Chu Jingnan went to the food area nearby, took a gla.s.s of fruit juice, walked up to her, and reached out to take her wine gla.s.s. “Although the alcoholic content of red wine is very low, it’ll also cause one to be drunk. It’s better for girls to drink less.”

Wen Xinya moved the wine gla.s.s in her hand away and looked at Chu Jingnan with a slight frown. “My matters have nothing to do with you. You better stay out of them.”

Her coldness humiliated Chu Jingnan. When he thought about her exploitation and Xia Ruya’s gentleness and thoughtfulness, he couldn’t help but feel enraged. “What is this, calling it quits after exploiting me? What kind of person does Miss Wen treat me as? I, Chu Jingnan, am not someone that you can manipulate—you better get this clear.”

Wen Xinya’s emotionless eyes slowly landed on Chu Jingnan—that gentlemanly face was slightly twisted with anger, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing obscurely. “That’s right—I exploited you. So what?”

Her unapologetic words stunned Chu Jingnan. “So what? Okay… Wen Xinya, you win! You actually can still talk like this after exploiting others.”

Chu Jingnan couldn’t help but feel defeated. He was not ignorant about Wen Xinya’s hostility and coldness towards him—it was precisely because of it that she had piqued his interest. However, Wen Xinya seemed totally different from the girls he knew. It seemed like she did not take to both the hard and soft approaches and was without any weakness, making him unable to conquer her even after so long.

Wen Xinya’s eyes flashed with mockery and disdain as she sneered. “If you dare to, you can always expose me on the discussion forums. Stop acting as if I’m indebted to you in front of me. It’s disgusting to watch.”

In her previous lifetime, she had paid the price of her death to see through Chu Jingnan. After her rebirth this time, she had observed indifferently and studied him at an even deeper level. Chu Jingnan was a perfectionist who never tolerated mistakes. For such an opportunity to show his abilities like the school’s anniversary celebrations, if he were to make a mistake because of her, causing a hit to his reputation in the Inst.i.tute, the impact on him would be huge. Now that Xia Ruya was willing to bear the sole responsibility for everything, he naturally wouldn’t go the lengths to expose the truth.

Her intense gaze was filled with a piercing glow, and the mockery and disdain within it made Chu Jingnan almost suddenly clench his fists tight as veins emerged on the back of his hands one by one. He gritted his teeth and said, “Wen—Xin—Ya!”

He was probably really enraged by her. The name spat out by his thin lips were filled with a frightening, harsh, and overbearing aura. Wen Xinya laughed out loud at him. “What is it, you dare not? Since you don’t dare, why do you bother to make a scene before me.”

She was sure that Chu Jingnan didn’t dare to do it. A position like the president of the student union in a high-end inst.i.tute was a highly recognized t.i.tle in all arenas. It was an affirmation of his talents and capabilities. It couldn’t be ruled out that this had formed part of the reason that the Xiao Family was willing to admit him as their illegitimate son previously.

Needless to say, a position like this could give him access to many connections and opportunities to showcase his capabilities. It could also very well have played a part in him gaining the ident.i.ty as the head of the Xiao Family previously when he had just returned to the Xiao Family as their illegitimate son.
