Chapter 1527 - Chancing Upon Yan Menglu (1/2)
Ever since she knew about the design curriculum of the finals, Wen Xinya had mostly stayed in her room working on her designs. Her days were rather pleasant.
The only imperfection was that she couldn’t contact outsiders and had not spoken to Si Yiyan on the phone for a few days already. Ever since she got together with Si Yiyan, although they were frequently apart as Si Yiyan was busy with work, such instances of no contact for days were rare.
Thus, an uncontrollable longing for Si Yiyan arose in Wen Xinya’s heart.
Four days passed while Wen Xinya was immersed in working on her designs and missing Si Yiyan at the same time.
It was finally the deadline for the submission of the drafts for the finals.
Mr. Ronda knocked on Wen Xinya’s room door and finally brought her to the Milan World Expo. This time, the International Jewelry Design Competition was held right at the Milan World Expo.
Wen Xinya stayed at a hotel slightly further out from the Milan World Expo—it took about one hour by driving.
When they reached the Milan World Expo, it was already 10 A.M.
At the Milan World Expo, Wen Xinya chanced upon a familiar person.
About three years ago, when school started at the Capital University, she had come to the Capital city with Xia Ruya for further studies and had been jealous and resentful towards her because she had become Ji Shihan’s student—Yan Menglu from the Yan Family from Harbor City!
Yan Menglu obviously saw Wen Xinya too as her footsteps halted slightly before she walked towards Wen Xinya. “Miss Wen, it’s been a few years. How have you been?”
The few years had done tremendous changes to Yan Menglu. She was wearing a red cheongsam with peony embroidery. On the collar of the cheongsam was a pigeon-blood ruby, the size of a fingernail, which was polished, glowing, and gorgeous. Her light brown hair was kept in a bun behind her head with a red jadeite hairpin with flower engravings. She radiated the strong aura of a Chinese beauty.
The cheongsam, which was known for its conservativeness, elegance, and mysteriousness, when worn on her, gave off an arrogant, cold, and overbearing feeling. However, the hostility from her eyes had decreased dramatically.
Wen Xinya could tell that her tone wasn’t friendly and smiled mildly. “Still the same.”
Honestly, Wen Xinya was indifferent to Yan Menglu. Previously, when she just came to the Capital city with Xia Ruya to sow discord, she had indeed had a few clashes with her, attributed to Yan Menglu’s arrogance. After that, after everything had cleared up, things were peaceful between them. Undoubtedly, Yan Menglu was indeed an intelligent person.
Yan Menglu was quite talented in jewelry design and often secretly competed with her. However, during the second semester of their first year in the university, Yan Menglu had returned to Harbor City. It was rumored that the Yan Family had found a world-renowned jewelry designer to tutor her.
Since then, Wen Xinya had stopped noticing her.
She had heard that her talent in jewelry design was well-known in the upper-class society of Harbor City. This time, at the International Jewelry Design Competition by the Milan World Expo, she had proceeded smoothly through the stages only to be eliminated before the grand finals. Nevertheless, her accomplishment at such a young age had been praised by everyone.
