“This is my goddess… Go and check out her previous music videos; they are simply exquisite…”

“Ahhh, I’m back, and I’ve returned on my knees. Who would have thought Sister had such a status… A genius piano composer… That’s just too incredible!”

Diwu Qixian, Zhou Xiaoxiao, and all the students who had seen the Weibo posts were shocked as they watched Wen Xin, who casually draped her arm over Tan Xingyue’s shoulder, chatting with Wen Huai.

Now, Wen Xin perfectly embodied the image of a formidable figure, far from the rustic demeanor Su Shan had described.

Jiang Linfei watched the online opinion rapidly spiral out of control and, in a fit of irritation, tossed her phone into her backpack.

She had thought this was her chance to tarnish Wen Xin, but not only had she failed to make Wen Xin despised by everyone, she had inadvertently boosted Wen Xin’s reputation at Beijing University.

It felt like a large stone was lodged in her chest, neither moving up nor down, causing her great discomfort.

As she vented her frustrations on her phone, the assistant to the president of Beijing University approached her, lingered for a few seconds, and then moved to another girl.

“Wu Yali, the president asked to see you.”

Wu Yali panicked, glancing at Jiang Linfei, who frowned slightly, showing a hint of impatience.

“Just go if the president is calling you. Be careful of what you say, and don’t cause trouble,” Jiang Linfei said slowly, her tone carrying a warning that everyone could hear.

Wu Yali hesitated as she looked at Jiang Linfei, then stood up and left with the president’s assistant.

After Wu Yali and the assistant had left, the girl sitting beside Jiang Linfei tugged at her skirt.

“Linfei, what if she betrays you?”

“She wouldn’t dare. Her brother still needs money for school, and she’s taken my money, so she’ll willingly take the blame. Don’t worry, I won’t let Beijing University expel her,” Jiang Linfei reassured, pulling out her phone and making a call.

Although she wasn’t as favored in the Jiang family as Jiang Linyan, there wasn’t a problem she couldn’t solve with Jiang Linyan around.

After connecting with Jiang Linfei, Jiang Linyan discovered that the uproar on Weibo was Jiang Linfei’s doing and smiled with satisfaction.

“FeiFei, don’t worry about the president of Beijing University; I’ll speak with him. Your classmate won’t face any trouble, but next time you do something like this, remember to tell me in advance to avoid implicating yourself.”

Jiang Linyan had enjoyed seeing everyone criticize Wen Xin on Weibo yesterday.

She had wondered how Wen Xin had managed to offend people so soon after starting school, predicting that Wen Xin’s days at Beijing University wouldn’t be peaceful.

“Okay, sister, I won’t let her have an easy time at Beijing University. Thanks for handling my classmate’s situation.”

Jiang Linfei hung up gratefully. Jiang Linyan put down her cigarette and dialed the president of Beijing University.

After a few rings, the call was answered, and Jiang Linyan quickly said, “President Lu, may I take a few minutes of your time to discuss something about Miss Wu…”

“Is this issue related to you too?” Mu Chengxi, holding President Lu’s phone, spoke indifferently.

Jiang Linyan panicked upon hearing Mu Chengxi’s voice; she hadn’t expected President Lu’s phone to be in his hands.

She adjusted her tone, making it softer.

“Chengxi? Why do you have President Lu’s phone? Linfei called me to help her classmate who the president took away for some reason.”

“She’s just concerned about her classmate and wanted me to inquire about the situation.”

Sitting opposite Jiang Linyan, Qian Meng frowned upon hearing her hypocritical words. He realized this woman could lie without batting an eye, which was truly disgusting.

“Chengxi, are you listening?” Jiang Linyan asked tentatively after hearing no response from Mu Chengxi for a while.

“Do you believe your own words? Jiang Linyan, you wouldn’t be foolish enough to meddle in Beijing University’s affairs, would you? Have I been too lenient with you? You know some things should be left as they are; there’s no need to overdo it.”

Mu Chengxi had already figured out that Jiang Linfei was the planner behind this incident before she called. Still, she had already found a scapegoat who took all the blame, making it impossible to expose the real perpetrator behind the scenes, which was frustrating.

Wen Xin suddenly appeared in President Lu’s office. She took the phone from Mu Chengxi and hung up.

“Don’t waste words on her. Engaging in shady tricks, there’s no need to deal with such things. It’s just some public opinion making a fuss, utterly unnecessary.”

Wen Xin didn’t care about this kind of issue; if it hadn’t impacted Beijing University, she wouldn’t have bothered dealing with it.

“Grandma called me early today to ask if I was being bullied at school. Aren’t you going back to the old house for dinner tonight? Help me tell Grandma that I’m doing fine at Beijing University, and she doesn’t need to worry.”

Wen Xin spoke softly to Mu Chengxi, trying to calm his agitated mood.

Mu Chengxi looked down at Wen Xin, his eyes filled with uncertainty, “Is this matter just going to pass?”

“Pass? It won’t just pass, but there’s no need to waste breath on Jiang Linyan. The issue happened at school; it should be resolved at school. You don’t need to intervene. Their little schemes are not worth my attention.”

Wen Xin was playing the long game, aiming to catch a bigger fish. She couldn’t afford to cause a stir at Beijing University right from the start, as it would only cause trouble for the leaders.

“Then take your time, don’t worry about causing trouble; if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you.”

Mu Chengxi lifted his hand, gently pinching Wen Xin’s ear, his voice tender yet filled with doting affection.

“Ahem, excuse me, how do you plan to handle this Wu Yali…” Just then, President Lu coughed awkwardly behind them, his approach somewhat cautious.

“Handle it according to school rules. Spreading rumors that defame the school and its students, isn’t that easy to manage? Since she wants to take the blame, let her carry it properly.”

Wen Xin turned around, handed her phone to President Lu, and flashed a sweet smile that sent a shiver down his spine.

It seemed this situation was becoming more complicated.
