Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1170: Xia Ruya Is Rather Good at Bouncing

After thinking it through and realizing that Xia Ruya could not pose a threat to her, Wen Xinya was no longer as worried. However... the Li Family’s presence made Wen Xinya feel a little uneasy. Given Xia Ruya’s character, the best solution for Wen Xinya now was to act before Xia Ruya got the chance to.

However, she could not do that.

Firstly, the Li Family was esteemed and held high authority in Harbor City. Hence, the Wen Family might not be able to defeat them.

Secondly, the entertainment city project had already affected the Wen Corporation’s current operations. Hence, there was plenty for the Wen Family to handle at the moment.

Thirdly, the Li Family may be less competent than they seemed, but the Wen Corporation would be greatly affected by the entertainment city project if it were to go on.

The thought of it made Wen Xinya feel intolerant towards Xia Ruya.

At night, Wen Xinya arranged to meet Zhou Tianyu and the rest of her friends. They began discussing about the military training program.

Gu Junling sighed and said, “Xu-er finally made it back and got the chance to meet us. Yet, he’s gone again before we even got to see him.”

They only heard the news of Xu Zhenyu’s return after Wen Xinya completed the military training program. It was so obvious that Xu Zhenyu valued his crush over his friends.

However...

Gu Junling glanced at Wen Xinya with a look of morose in his eyes.

Wen Xinya did not reciprocate Xu Zhenyu’s feelings towards her. In the end, Xu Zhenyu’s efforts had gone to waste.

Wen Xinya said smilingly, “We’ll have plenty of time to meet him once he’s back from the mission.”

Zhou Tianyu nodded in approval and said, “By then, we must punish him harshly. We’ll see if he dares to do this to us again.”

He was going overboard by hiding his return from them for so long.

Xu Tongxuan said, “Not only must we punish him by making him drink, but we must also force him to do a thousand push-ups too.”

Xu Zhenyu had developed a good liquor level after joining the military and his friends were no match for him at all. Hence, the punishment would be a piece of cake for him.

Ling Qingxuan glared at Xu Tongxuan. “Heck, it’s no wonder that they always say that women are vicious. One thousand push-ups? Are you sure you’re not trying to kill Xu-er?”

He initially wanted to chide Xu Zhenyu for being a bad friend. However, he suddenly felt sympathetic towards his buddy after hearing that they were planning to make him do a thousand push-ups.

“What did you say?” the three girls chorused, feeling offended by his sexist remark.

Ling Qingxuan frantically tried to make up an excuse. “Hehe! You guys are just girls now. You’re not women yet. You don’t even deserve to celebrate International Women’s Day.”

Gu Junling clutched his stomach and laughed out loud uncontrollably.

After teasing each other for a while, Zhou Tianyu suddenly asked, “Xinya, does Xu-er... know about your relationship with Mr. Si yet?”

After giving it some thought, she felt that there definitely had to be a particular reason for Xu Zhenyu’s sudden mission, for it didn’t make sense for him to be assigned to a task so soon since he had just returned to the city.

The faces of Gu Junling and the rest stiffened after they heard Zhou Tianyu’s question.

Seemingly having failed to notice the change in the atmosphere, Wen Xinya sipped on her beverage and answered, “He knows! He even got upset at me for a long time because I didn’t inform him beforehand. You guys have no idea how hard he made me train. I had to train 16 hours a day for four days. After training, I would be dead beat and I almost had to crawl back to my dorm.”

Wen Xinya could not control herself and began criticizing Xu Zhenyu.

After hearing her words, they figured out that Xu Zhenyu must have felt devastated after finding out about Wen Xinya being in love with another man and hence, left the city right after the military training program ended.

A sudden tension filled the air in the room.

They were rather glad about Wen Xinya’s relationship with Si Yiyan. After all, he was genuinely good to her. However, they took pity on Xu Zhenyu because they were his friends. It was not that Xu Zhenyu was not outstanding enough, but rather it was because Wen Xinya had met Si Yuyan who was even more outstanding than him.

Xu Zhenyu was way too prideful for his own good, unlike Si Yiyan, who could love Wen Xinya endlessly and unconditionally. Having known Wen Xinya for so long, they all knew how high her standards were. Hence, it was only understandable that Si Yiyan would be able to win her heart.

Wen Xinya only found out about it later. “What’s wrong with you guys?”

Gu Junling answered smilingly, “Nothing much, I just didn’t expect Xu-er to be so petty.”

Xu Tongxuan kicked Gu Junling and changed the subject. “Xinya, that woman Xia Ruya actually became the successor of the Li Family from Harbor City. She’s really in luck.”

They had found out about Xia Ruya’s return since a long time ago and had even found out about the reason. Apart from feeling astonished by how lucky Xia Ruya was, they also felt like she was like a cockroach that could not be killed.

Xu Tongxuan’s words managed to draw everyone’s attention away.

Zhou Tianyu’s face grew sullen at the mention of Xia Ruya. “Ever since Xia Ruya returned to Capital city, she got admitted to Capital University and seems to be having a good time. You guys were only away for the military training program for a month and yet, rumors about her are already spreading like wildfire.”

“Oh! Is that so?” Wen Xinya asked. She knew that Xia Ruya had always been the topic of gossip in Capital city, but she was very curious about what Xia Ruya had gotten up to since she had just returned to Capital city.

Ling Qingxuan laughed and said, “Xia Ruya withdrew from school ever since the release of her virginity test report. Hence, everyone had begun gossiping about her using her connections and underhanded means to get into Capital University. There are lots of discussions. And Xinya, your fans are causing such a stir. Within just a few days, however, her final examination results were released on the Capital University’s discussion forum.”

Wen Xinya’s expression changed. She had experienced the same thing when she first got admitted to Lan Feng Institute.

Gu Junling smirked and said, “Although she followed in your footsteps, this is a very useful method.”

Xu Tongxuan said with a look of disdain, “Most importantly, the news of her talent in fashion design spread within Capital University like wildfire in less than a month. I heard that her relief teacher admires Xia Ruya and even wants to tutor her in private.”

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Xia Ruya really hasn’t changed a single bit at all.”

She had just been admitted to the university and yet, she already kept up such a high profile. Wen Xinya was certain that Xia Ruya definitely did something to cause that. To put it blatantly... she was just trying to steal the limelight.

Xia Ruya was still as vain and materialistic as she used to be. She still loved having these superficial reputations.

However... Wen Xinya knew that Xia Ruya was involved in too many rumors and the first thing that came to everyone’s mind when they thought of Xia Ruya would be her erotic photos, scandals and the fact that she was a vicious ingrate. Hence, Xia Ruya desperately needed this superficial glory and fame to give herself a better image.
