Chapter 307 - How Much Is Your Pride Worth? (2/2)

“What… what are you trying to do?” Jiang Yuqian asked, turning pale as a ghost. She instinctively took a step back. Although her wounds had already healed, they began to ache dully all of a sudden.

“You… you’re not allowed to hit others within the school compound. You can’t do this…” Xia Ruxue spluttered while taking a few steps back, trembling uncontrollably from head to toe. Staring at Wen Xinya, she couldn’t help but feel terrified.

Xia Ruya walked towards them and gazed at Wen Xinya with a look of melancholy. “Xinya, please let Yuqian and Ruxue off on my account! I’ll apologize to you on their behalf if they said anything to offend you.”

Wen Xinya scoffed and looked at Xia Ruya. “On your account?”

“Xinya…” Xia Ruya murmured, sensing that Wen Xinya wouldn’t concede.

“Why should I? How much is your pride worth?” Wen Xinya interrupted, not giving her the chance to continue. She smirked sarcastically, clearly despising Xia Ruya.

Xia Ruya staggered backward and swayed unsteadily from side to side while quaking slightly.

Boiling with anger, Xia Ruxue glowered at Wen Xinya and gibed. “Wen Xinya, you’d better know your limits. You managed to steal the limelight during the school’s anniversary celebration all because of Ruya. If Ruya didn’t cover up the truth for you, do you really think you can replace her as the school belle? Do you think you could have come in seventh place during the pageant?”

“Oh, turns out she did it all for my sake!” Wen Xinya exclaimed sarcastically while staring at Xia Ruya with a menacing smirk and raised brows.

Xia Ruya turned even paler. She felt as if there was no place for her at all whenever Wen Xinya was around. She grabbed Xia Ruxue’s hand and said, “Ruxue, didn’t you want to use some beauty masks? Let’s hurry up and go back to the condominium!”

Refusing to concede, Xia Ruxue pushed Xia Ruya’s hand away and exclaimed angrily, “Ruya, you may be afraid of Wen Xinya, but I’m not intimidated by her at all. I was just stating facts, anyway. If you didn’t stop President Chu from exposing the matter on the discussion forum, how could she have the cheek to stay in Lan Feng!?!”

Jiang Yuqian chimed in. “Exactly. Ruya, don’t be afraid of her. If she gets us riled up, we’ll expose it on the forum and see if she still has the audacity to be so arrogant!”

Wen Xinya raised her brows and waved her hands nonchalantly. She sneered. “You guys go ahead and expose me. You’d better let the whole world know about this. However, no one will believe you!”

Jiang Yuqian and her pals would only be making a fool out of themselves so long as Chu Jingnan did not intervene. Besides… Xia Ruya would not let them ruin her well-devised plan.

“Good… just you wait and see. I’ll announce this on the forum immediately. I shall see if you can still continue being the school belle once this matter is exposed.” Jiang Yuqian sneered, before whipping out her mobile phone to go on the forum.

Xia Ruxue said, “Yes, we must make sure everyone finds out her true colors.”

Xia Ruya was stuck in a dilemma and at a loss for words. She obviously couldn’t let Jiang Yuqian and Xia Ruxue expose the matter about the celebration online and ruin her plan. Hence, she exclaimed while sobbing, “Ruxue, Yuqian, don’t bring this up again from now on. If you really expose this on the forum, we’ll… no longer be friends!”

Wen Xinya guffawed sarcastically. All Xia Ruya does is manipulate others into standing up for her while pretending to be innocent. I really hope to see the day that she receives her retribution. After all, not everyone can be easily manipulated. Wen Xinya thought to herself.
