Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress
chapter-1131

It was September. In the Capital city, the sun was still as scorching hot as in summer and everyone couldn’t help but groan about the heat.

Wen Xinya and Ye Feiyu walked side by side into the cooling bamboo road. The summer wind made the green bamboo dance and sing, bringing a sense of coolness.

Ye Feiyu smiled and introduced herself to Wen Xinya. “I’m Ye Feiyu.”

She had seen Wen Xinya twice in banquet settings. She had a deep impression of Wen Xinya, especially since Grandfather Zhong was full of praises for her. However, she never had the chance to get to know Wen Xinya. Today, witnessing the way Wen Xinya handled Xia Ruya, she felt a sense of affinity and wanted to know her.

A smile appeared on Wen Xinya’s face as she said, “I’m Wen Xinya. I still have you to thank for just now. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have gotten off so easily.”

Wen Xinya spoke with sincerity. Grampy had mentioned the Ye Family to her before and had a good assessment of them: just and peaceful—worthy of knowing! Now that Ye Feiyu took the initiative to befriend her, she naturally dealt with her sincerely.

Speaking of which, Wen Xinya was really rather sorry that she seemed to be quite unlucky in her friendships. Previously, when she led a wandering life, she had a few lone friends, but none were close to her. Upon returning to the Wen Family, she had gotten out of touch with all of them. Now that she was Miss Wen, she seemed to only have Zhou Tianyu and the rest as her only group of friends. Although she knew many classmates from the three years of hectic and stressful high school, most of them were not deep friendships.

Thus, she didn’t have many friends.

Wen Xinya didn’t have many friends previously as others were unwilling to be associated with her due to her unpleasant past. After that, unexpectedly, it wasn’t because she didn’t have the opportunity to make friends but because of Si Yiyan.

In order to exterminate her suiters, Si Yiyan had added too much glamor on her, pushing her to the position of a queen who could only be admired but not touched—which normal person would be willing to befriend such an outstanding person?

Ye Feiyu pursed her lips and said, “Why are you thanking me? I just can’t stand Xia Ruya’s hypocritical attitude.”

Previously, when Xia Ruya was still Miss Wen, she had already hated her for always acting all pure and innocent when she was actually more vicious than anyone else.

Wen Xinya and Ye Feiyu looked into each other’s eyes and laughed, both seeing the chemistry in one another’s eyes.

Ye Feiyu said in a serious tone, “However, you’ve to be careful of Xia Ruya. She looked at you with teary and vicious eyes. There’s a saying that it’s better to have an open enemy than a false friend—this Xia Ruya isn’t simple at all.”

Although Ye Feiyu disliked Xia Ruya, she had never belittled her.

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “I’ve never belittled Xia Ruya.”

Xia Ruya had disappeared previously and returned to the Capital city now that she was in power and similarly selected the Capital University—obviously, she came for her.

However, she had too many questions in her heart. Xia Ruya had disappeared from the Capital city, did she went to Harbor City? What exactly happened to make her become Miss Lee now? After her rebirth, although many things had already derailed from their original states, it couldn’t have changed someone’s identity?

Although Wen Xinya didn’t feel as tumultuous as before, she still couldn’t quite find peace and felt heavy-hearted.

Xia Ruya was a disaster all along.

Ye Feiyu changed the topic and asked curiously, “Xinya, which course are you enrolled in the Capital University?”

Wen Xinya answered, “The Jewelry Design course.”

Ever since she returned to the Wen Family, she had started to self-study jewelry design. With the precious ancient books that her mother left for her, as well as the foundation from her previous lifetime, things went on smoothly. In the three years, she had learned quite a bit. At the moment, she already had already designed a number of products. However, besides Si Yiyan, nobody else knew, and she intended for it to stay that way.

Although she wanted to show off her talent in design and inherit her mother’s legend, she knew that it had to be done at the right time.

Otherwise, just talent alone couldn’t explain things. The fact that she could produce such outstanding products at such a young age would more or less make others link it to her mother. Come that time, the secret that her mother left her would be exposed. Living in such a materialistic family as the Wen Family, she was afraid that she wouldn’t be able to safeguard the things that her mother left behind for her.

Mother had secretly left those books and design drafts for her. The fact that even Xia Ruya couldn’t lay her hands on them proved that her mother was guarded against the Wen Family. Thus, she naturally wouldn’t defy Mother’s wishes.

Ye Feiyu smiled. “Indeed, a girl takes after her mother. In the past, Madam Wen was a renowned designer known all over the world. My mother has a full set of jade accessories designed by her back in those days. I’ve asked my mother a few times for it and she hasn’t been able to part with it, saying that it would be my dowry when I get married in the future.”

As the Ye Family and the Mo Family were scholastic families, they were rather close. Especially back in the days when Madam Wen was still alive, the two families had mutual interaction. After that, with Madam Wen’s demise, Old Mr. Mo’s health and spirits deteriorated and went out less often, causing their relationship to slowly drift apart. However, the two families were still considered close.

With Ye Feiyu mentioning her mother, Wen Xinya liked her even more and the two of them got closer immediately. As her mother was Old Mr. Mo’s daughter, she was already famous in the Capital city in the past. Additionally, as her mother was an extremely talented woman, there had been many praises for her in the circle.

Ye Feiyu said, “It’s okay. Now that I know you, I don’t have to think about that set of products by Madam Wen in my mother’s hands. In the future, when you become a great designer, I’ll directly get you to design a set for me—isn’t this even more beautiful than taking my mother’s love from her?”

Just now when she asked what course was Wen Xinya enrolled in and she said Jewelry Design, perhaps even she didn’t realize it herself, but her face had radiated confidence, her eyes twinkled, and her voice was so firm—as if she was meant to study this course.

A person showing such confidence was destined to have extraordinary accomplishments in their area.

That was why she dared to say such words.

Being teased by her like this, Wen Xinya felt slightly shy. “It’s easy to say. How do you know that I’ll definitely become a great designer!”

Although Wen Xinya was confident in herself, she didn’t dare to predict the future.

Ye Feiyu said, “I just know it. So, do you agree or not?”

She spoke with a tinge of willfulness.

Wen Xinya couldn’t help but smile. “If that day really comes, I’ll naturally agree.” Following this, Wen Xinya changed the topic and asked, “Oh yes, what course are you enrolled in?”

Ye Feiyu said, “The History course.”
