Xia Ruya hung her head in embarrassment, the fog in her eyes instantly coagulated into tears suspending in her eyes, shimmering and glowing, just like a budding pink lotus tainted with clear dew, emitting a fresh and tender aura under the sunlight. “Xinya, I know you’re upset with me for not speaking up for you when you had a conflict with Jiang Ruoyin at the student union office just now. But I’m also friends with Jiang Ruoyin, and was stuck in the middle watching you girls argue.”
Lan Feng was an elite school. Although there were also many poor students, most students were people from reputable, wealthy, or asset-rich families—people from the circle. Thus, most of them knew who was Wen Xinya and Xia Ruya.
This moment, upon hearing Xia Ruya’s words, people around gathered in whispers.
“Who does this Wen Xinya think she is? Making a scene at the student union once she came to Lan Feng, having a conflict with Miss Jiang from the student union, and now pushing Xia Ruya to the ground. Previously, I didn’t believe the rumors in the circle saying that she’s vulgar, unreasonable and overbearing. Can’t believe they are indeed true.”
“Previously, I’ve attended her homecoming party and felt that she’s very pretty and classy. If not for the fact that I’ve witnessed it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe that she’s so heartless as to push someone to the ground no matter what.”
“Not that we don’t know Xia Ruya—all along, her reputation in the circle has been very good—everyone says she’s pretty, elegant, graceful, and kind. Previously, when someone tried to defame Wen Xinya online, she’d even stood up for Wen Xinya—can’t believe Wen Xinya is so ungrateful, bullying her in the blink of an eye.”
“Why is Wen Xinya at Lan Feng—don’t tell me she’s also going to be studying at Lan Feng from now on? I heard that she’d previously led a wandering life for fifteen years, was a little thug on the streets, and didn’t even go to secondary school—how can she get into Lan Feng?”
“Guess somebody’s rich! Although Lan Feng only admits the cream of the crop, money makes the world go round. Not that you don’t know, her Grampy had participated in compiling many of the books in our school—since the institute is on good terms with Old Mr. Mo, it’s normal to pull some strings!”
“So she has strings to pull, no wonder she’s so arrogant—first day reporting to school and she dares to make a din at the student union office. I loathe such people who think that they’re so great just because of their powerful background—without her background, she’s actually just an arrogant idiot.”
“Me too. I’m extremely disgusted by such people who think that they’re so superior and can look down on everyone else. Actually, she’s but a wild sparrow, with undeniable intrinsic qualities of a sparrow, who has flown a little higher from the branch.”
Everyone around was set buzzing with an almost unanimous conclusion.
Wen Xinya knew that Xia Ruya had always had an extremely good reputation in the circle that she could easily make use of to make everyone believe her. Nobody would believe a little thug who had led a wandering life for fifteen years.
“Xinya, it’s not easy for us to finally study at the same school. We should have each others’ backs instead. Don’t be angry anymore.” Xia Ruya looked at Wen Xinya as though she was about to cry.
