Reborn Aristocrat: Return of the Vicious Heiress

Chapter 1196: The Talented Girl, Lin Yingxin

Ye Feiyu said, “I heard that Yan Menglu has been behaving herself for the past few days and keeps a lower profile than before. She has also stopped putting on airs. It’s really shocking to see a spoiled brat like Yan Menglu succumbing to you.”

She naturally knew about the conflict that Wen Xinya had gotten into with Xia Ruya and Yan Menglu. Besides, plenty of people in Capital University knew about it too.

“Yan Menglu is not silly, either. I just let her get used to the environment in Capital City in advance.” She had already expected there to be changes in Yan Menglu’s behavior, for the latter was rather smart.

Before Teacher Ji accepted an apprentice, Wen Xinya and Yan Menglu got into a conflict. However, it was more likely that Yan Menglu had taken Wen Xinya as her competitor. She only showed her animosity when Teacher Ji revealed her intentions to accept Wen Xinya as her apprentice.

Xia Ruya and Yan Menglu were just using each other to deal with Wen Xinya. One of them was scheming and manipulative while the other was good at making use of humanity.

They manipulated each other and got into cahoots.

However, as long as she used the right tactics, Yan Menglu would not become her enemy, even though she would be her competitor.

Although Wen Xinya made things sound simple, Ye Feiyu obviously wouldn’t actually think that way. However, she did not plan to probe any further. She looked up and exclaimed, “Xinya, look!”

Wen Xinya looked in the direction that she was staring at, only to see a girl dressed in green walking towards her gracefully like she belonged to an exquisite painting in which ink had the ability to wash away the complexity of the world.

Wen Xinya had never seen a girl who exuded such an oriental elegance.

Ye Feiyu said, “Her name is Lin Yingxin and she was born to a famous family of scholars in Jiangnan. She managed to win an accolade for her zither rendition of ‘The Sun and Snow In Spring’. She’s known to be a girl of endless talent in Capital city and the faculty of arts. She’s now the president of the Zither Club and a popular figure on campus. However, she’s already in Year Four and rarely comes to school.”

So Ye Feiyu was referring to Lin Yingxin when she told me that the president of the Zither Club was looking at me.

Wen Xinya nodded and agreed. “She really lives up to her nickname!”

As the old saying goes, Poets exude a unique aura. Although Lin Yingxin did not have an outstanding appearance, she had a unique and outstandingly refined elegance. Clearly, she was extraordinarily talented.

Ye Feiyu said with a look of contempt, “She may be talented, but she doesn’t have that great of a personality.”

She had never quite liked Lin Yingxin.

Wen Xinya took a glance at Ye Feiyu and began to admire Lin Yingxin a little less after hearing the nonchalance in her tone.

Ye Feiyu suddenly exclaimed, “She’s walking towards us!”

There was a deeper meaning to her words.

Wen Xinya wondered, Is Lin Yingxin coming for me?

Just as she was deep in thought, Lin Yingxin had already reached her together with two other girls. Although Wen Xinya had never spoken to them before, she could tell that the three of them were close, just from the way they interacted with each other.

Wen Xinya raised her brows and thought, I don’t know Lin Yingxin at all!

Lin Yingxin first shot Ye Feiyu a glance and remarked, “Feifei, I didn’t think you’d be here too.”

Ye Feiyu expressed assent with a straight face

Not bothered by her aloofness, Lin Yingxin shifted her gaze to Wen Xinya and scanned her from head to toe. “You must be Wen Xinya, Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter! I’m Lin Yingxin. I’m a Year 4 History student and the president of the Zither club.”

Lin Yingxin introduced herself to Wen Xinya in a sweet voice that was much gentler than Xia Ruya’s.

Wen Xinya asked calmly, “Senior Lin, what’s the matter?”

Lin Yingxin’s intentions were clear and perhaps, even knew that Wen Xinya would be making her way to school. Clearly, she was well aware of Wen Xinya’s whereabouts, so there was no need for her to introduce herself at all.

Lin Yingxin smiled and said, “I was lucky enough to have been invited to the Heiress’ Gala held by Boya Pavilion this year as a judge. I heard that you’re incredibly talented, Miss Wen. Hence, I admire you and would like to invite you to the gala. I’m sure a talented girl like you will add a touch of vibrancy to the event.”

Lin Yingxin smiled gracefully and her words sounded so pleasant that it would be hard for anyone to turn her down.

Wen Xinya did not accept the invite immediately. Instead, she asked, “Senior Lin, since you’ve already heard those rumors about me, I’m sure you know that others are just calling me talented in order to curry my favor. In that case, why do you insist on inviting me?”

She actually didn’t want to get involved with the Heiress’ Gala, but Lin Yingxin’s invitation seemed suspicious to her. She deduced that Lin Yingxin was not sincere in inviting her. She also guessed that Xia Ruya’s goal was the Heiress’ Gala.

Lin Yingxin had obviously already come up with an excuse beforehand. She answered unhurriedly, “Rumors are just rumors. As the granddaughter of Old Mr. Mo, you definitely wouldn’t be like what they claim you to be.”

Wen Xinya’s face stiffened as she took Lin Yingxin a little more seriously. “Is that so?”

Lin Yingxin was not easy to deal with. By mentioning about Old Mr. Mo blatantly, she seemed to be telling Wen Xinya that she would be disgracing Old Mr. Mo if she were to turn down the offer to perform and showcase her abilities. However, she managed to sugarcoat her words perfectly and politely, so much that Wen Xinya could not reject her.

Knowing that Wen Xinya had understood what she meant, Lin Yingxin said, “I meant every word I said.”

Wen Xinya grabbed the invitation card and said with a faint smile, “Since you’re sincere in inviting me, I promise to turn up, Senior Lin.”

Since Lin Yingxin had used Old Mr. Mo as an excuse, she had no choice but to accept the invitation. She decided to see what the great deal about the Heiress’ Gala was about.

Lin Yingxin exclaimed smilingly, “That’s great!”

I shall see how special Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter really is.

Of course, she wouldn’t voice her thoughts.

Wen Xinya was no fool and obviously knew that she had other thoughts in mind.
