Chapter 1180 - Ill-Mannered and Uncultured (2/2)

Who is Wen Xinya? She led a wandering life ever since she was a child and lacks manners and class. She’s just an embarrassing and disgraceful piece of garbage, unlike me. I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

Wen Xinya’s face grew sullen and she said threateningly, “Yan Menglu. Since you’re from Harbor City, you ought to be refined and well-mannered. Hence, you should also know what to say and what not to say. Don’t taint yourself while insulting others.”

Yan Menglu was just looking down on others because she found herself to be superior.

Yan Menglu turned pale in exasperation after hearing her words, for she knew that Wen Xinya was obviously just beating around the bush to mock her and imply that she was ill-mannered. She laughed and gibed. “Wen Xinya, I heard that you were addicted to the vices and often cheated others when you were a gangster. You even got into fights and smoked cigarettes. Jewelry design is the most glorious and prestigious profession in the world. Uncultured boors like you have no right to learn jewelry design. Please don’t stain this profession.”

Her words were full of malice and she had a condescending look on her face. She was obviously mean-spirited.

Yan Menglu’s malicious insult immediately angered a girl who had never liked her. “How could you say that? So what if you’re Miss Yan from Harbor City? Regardless of how formidable the Yan Family may be, that’s only in Harbor City. This is Capital city, don’t you forget that. Stop trying to put on airs here. You’re really disgusting.”

“So what if Classmate Wen had once led a wandering life for 15 years? She still managed to make it to Capital University. You’re just putting on airs and you only managed to get into Capital University through underhanded means. What’s there to be proud of?”

“Why do you have to be so arrogant and condescending all the time? You act like you’re better than everyone else. As if you’re the only one who deserves to study jewelry design. All humans are created equal, but not all hearts are equal.”

Yan Menglu flew into a rage and she scowled at Wen Xinya. “Wen Xinya, the best you can do is get these classmates to attack me.”

Staring at her composedly, Wen Xinya said, “Jewelry design is prestigious and noble, not because it’s the nature of the profession, but rather because the designer has created these captivating jewelry and made them luxurious. Prestigious jewelry can only be produced when the soul of the designer is prestigious and noble. An impure designer will only create defective and tainted jewelry.”

A sudden silence filled the air in the classroom as the students stopped arguing. Although they were familiar with what she said, there were only a few of them who could recite it perfectly.

Wen Xinya continued coldly, “Yan Menglu… this was what Miss Li taught us during the first lesson. She wants us to maintain a prestigious soul in order to create prestigious jewelry. You’ve completely thwarted the significance of the profession.”

She seemed to be correcting Yan Menglu’s understanding of the jewelry design profession being prestigious.

However, Yan Menglu turned red with exasperation as fury filled her eyes. Wen Xinya managed to rebut her reasonably by using the teacher’s words. It was as if her words were daggers being stabbed into Yan Menglu’s heart.

At the end of the day, all Wen Xinya was trying to say was that the character of the designer mattered the most and that her soul was prestigious regardless of her past.

However, Yan Menglu was speechless.

Although she disagreed with what the teacher said, she could not voice her opinions because the words had come out of the teacher’s mouth.
