Chapter 1214 - The Conflict That Arose Because of the Change of Seats (1/2)

Knowing that she was at fault, Ye Feiyu turned red and was at a momentary loss for words. She could not bring herself to apologize to Du Ruoxin even if the latter wanted her to. After all, she did not actually badmouth Du Ruoxin.

Unable to tolerate it any longer, Wen Xinya glanced at Du Ruoxin coldly and said, “We were just mentioning about you casually. There’s nothing to be sorry about. We weren’t badmouthing you, anyway. Miss Du, please don’t be so overbearing.”

Wen Xinya felt that Du Ruoxin gave off a mysterious vibe and her mood was also erratic. She often spoke and behaved in a self-righteous manner which made her look extremely unapproachable. As if she was above everyone else.

She was extremely difficult to deal with.

Du Ruo stared at Wen Xinya in an overbearing and hostile manner before sneering. “You’re very interesting!”

Her remark was ambiguous. Wen Xinya had no idea if she was praising her or just making a sarcastic remark.

Remaining calm and composed, Wen Xinya said coldly, “Thank you for the compliment, Miss Du.”

She could not tell what Du Ruoxin was exactly like, though she knew that the latter was no saint. Hence, she did not wish to continue getting involved with her.

Du Ruoxin scoffed before s.h.i.+fting her gaze onto Ye Feiyu. “Miss Ye, if you don’t mind, let’s exchange seats! You should know that I always like vying with others for second place. Hence, I obviously have to take the second seat this time.”

Du Ruoxin sounded extremely self-righteous and hostile.

Everyone who knew Du Ruoxin, also knew that she was second in her family and perhaps, that was the reason she felt a strong and bizarre sense of belonging to the number two. Ever since she was a child, she would vie to be second in everything she did.

Over time, everyone got used to her peculiar behavior which some even poked fun at.

Ye Feiyu naturally knew about Du Ruoxin’s strange habit too. However, she wouldn’t exchange seats with Du Ruoxin just because of that. “Miss Du, that’s not very appropriate, is it? The seats have been arranged beforehand by Boya Pavilion. It’d be unruly of us to just exchange seats without their consent.”

Du Ruoxin chuckled sarcastically and questioned, “Miss Ye, are you going to tell me to discuss with Boya Pavilion and gain their approval, after which you will follow the arrangements made by them?”

Ye Feiyu’s face grew petulant because those were indeed her intentions. If Du Ruoxin were to harp on it and continue to pester her, she would have no choice but to use Boya Pavilion as an excuse. However, now that Du Ruoxin had already exposed her, she could not bring herself to say it. Hence, she was stuck in a dilemma.

However, Du Ruoxin continued to push her limits. “Miss Ye, don’t bother using the Boya Pavilion to fool me. You’re just pus.h.i.+ng the problem to them. Just tell me if you’re going to exchange seats with me or not.”

Wen Xinya began to show a tinge of anger. She nodded and interjected. “Miss Du, you don’t have to put Miss Ye in a spot. I believe you’re aware that the guests would have to follow the instructions of the host. Hence, we’ll have to gain the approval of the Boya Pavilion before exchanging seats. Please don’t act rashly lest you come off as rude.”

Wen Xinya’s words were stern yet reasonable. She immediately rescued Ye Feiyu from an awkward predicament and made Du Ruoxin look like a disrespectful guest while throwing the problem to Boya Pavilion.

Feeling rather frustrated and angry, she thought to herself, What is going on with this Du Ruoxin? She’s so mean and condescending. It’s as if everyone’s her enemy. As soon as she arrived, she attacked Xia Ruya before attacking me and Ye Feiyu. What is she trying to do?

Ye Feiyu held Wen Xinya’s hand gently in a bid to express her grat.i.tude.
