Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Xia Ruya pulled Li Yuzhen towards her and said, “Yuzhen, someone is calling your name. Hurry and go take a look.”

Li Yuzhen stared at Wen Xinya hesitantly and said, “But…”

“It’s alright, I’ll go to the medics myself later,” Xia Ruya said in a gentle and alluring voice.

Li Yuzhen had no choice but to leave.

Wen Xinya guffawed sarcastically and quipped. “Xia Ruya, are these little tricks all you can do? You’re perpetually making use of others to get what you want. Is this your so-called kindness and purity?”

Biting her lip gently, Xia Ruya said with tears in her eyes, “Ruya, I didn’t expect Yuzhen to blame you for my fall, either. Don’t worry, I’ll explain it to her.”

Staring at Xia Ruya composedly, Wen Xinya’s eyes grew gloomier as if she could see through her soul. All of a sudden, she recalled her previous life where she was still smiling gracefully despite saying the most vicious words ever during the very last moment before her death.

Xia Ruya’s eyelash vibrated and she said to Wen Xinya, “Xinya, I didn’t fall down on purpose. I just lost my balance because I was too eager to talk to you…”

“Whatever you have to say to me, say it now!” said Wen Xinya, who did not mind watching another of Xia Ruya’s shows.

Xia Ruya answered, “Here’s the thing. The student union is organizing a literature symposium and the topic to be discussed is regarding the field of literature. The list of schools participating includes various prestigious institutes in the city. Hence, we’re hoping that Old Mr. Mo can help us by writing some calligraphy for our literature club.”

Having already guessed what Xia Ruya’s intentions were, Wen Xinya said, “Why should I help you?”

Staring at Wen Xinya in astonishment, Xia Ruya answered, “Didn’t Big Brother Chu say that he’d like to invite you to be part of the student union? Since you’re part of the student union, you’re naturally obligated to serve the union.”

Wen Xinya questioned, “As you said, it was just an invitation. I’m not a member of the student union yet, so why are you raising such a request to me?”

Xia Ruya was at a loss for an answer.

This was definitely not the outcome that Chu Jingnan wanted to see by inviting Wen Xinya to join the student union. Hence, mentioning about the symposium to Wen Xinya would just make it seem like Chu Jingnan had invited her solely because the student union needed the help of old Mr. Mo. Given how much she understood Wen Xinya and her prideful nature, Xia Ruya was certain that Wen Xinya would definitely turn down the invitation.

Wen Xinya stepped forward and probed overbearingly. “Why aren’t you answering me?”

Xia Ruya’s face stiffened and she answered, “This large-scale symposium is an unprecedented event that Lan Feng Institute is hosting for the very first time. Not only will we get to engage the students of different institutes in an interesting discussion where they can share and exchange opinions, but we can also help them improve their learning. Old Mr. Mo’s calligraphy would serve as a great encouragement to the students and bring about lots of benefits to the symposium. I definitely had to inform you of this matter beforehand, especially since it’s so major and important.”

Wen Xinya smirked and sneered. “Xia Ruya, don’t think I don’t know what your intentions are. These are just sneaky tricks that you’ve employed in order to stop me from joining the union. Do you really think I’m a fool who can’t tell what you’re up to?”

Xia Ruya turned pale instantly. “Xinya, you’ve gotten the wrong idea. The decision to join the student union lies entirely with you. No one can stop you from joining if you’d like to.”

Wen Xinya smiled and gibed. “Well said. It’s indeed up to me to decide if I want to join the union. Nothing you say will affect my choices.”

Xia Ruya retreated subconsciously with a massive amount of emotions hidden beneath her eyes. However, she could not conceal them completely and Wen Xinya had noticed the fear and astonishment in her eyes.

Wen Xinya exclaimed blatantly, “Although I’ve always hated how pretentious you are, I’ll have no choice but to fulfill your wishes this time…” She walked towards Xia Ruya and said straight to her face, “I won’t be joining the student union! However, whatever you do is not going to affect me. They’re just small little tricks that can’t deceive me!”

Xia Ruya stared at Wen Xinya, who was staring at her condescendingly. Wen Xinya’s overpowering dominance and aura made Xia Ruya feel extremely small and insignificant. She noticed the lethal beauty and seductiveness in Wen Xinya’s lips.

Wen Xinya’s words of mockery and sarcasm were just like sharp daggers piercing through Xin Ruya’s heart and cutting the flesh of her heart relentlessly.

Wen Xinya used her immense confidence, pride, and arrogance to deal with Xia Ruya, who felt a sudden urge to flee. She clenched her fists tightly and dug her nails into the tender flesh of her hand, causing her to feel a sharp pain in her hand.

Wen Xinya gently removed some dust from Xia Ruya’s knee and said nonchalantly, “Your love for Chu Jingnan is none of my business. Don’t get me embroiled.”

Xia Ruya’s eyes widened and her pupils repeatedly constricted and dilated, back and forth. “Don’t spout any nonsense…” she said, shocked to hear that Wen Xinya had seen through her innermost feelings.

“Don’t be in such a hurry, let me finish my sentence.” Wen Xinya interjected. She continued smilingly, “If you dare to get up to any devious tricks and try to harm me again, I’ll snatch away the man whom you fancy. You’ll get to have him after I discard him.” She emphasized on the word “discard.”

“You… you’re too scary!” Xia Ruya exclaimed, shaking her head profusely while taking a huge step backward and staring at her in utter disbelief.

Wen Xinya yelled, “Hey! Wait, I haven’t finished!”

Xia Ruya froze in shock for a moment before fleeing at godlike speed.

“I just wanted to ask you if you still wanted your books,” Wen Xinya muttered under her breath while pouting her lips and staring at Xia Ruya’s receding figure.
