Due to the fact that Wen Xinya had gained fame and glory because of her performance during the gala, she stopped paying attention to the news after a few days because she did not care for the superficial clout. Anyway, there was nothing for her to worry about since she had Liu Yanhua to assist her.

Besides, she was indeed rather busy lately, for the Lanxin health supplements brand had already been established and the construction of the factory was already almost completed. As the owner of Lanxin Company, she had to take charge.

On the other hand, there was also more and more content about jewelry design that she had to learn. Hence, she was facing more academic stress and did not have the time or energy to pay attention to the rest.

Wen Xinya heaved a sigh of relief after leaving Teacher Ji’s office. Due to the Heiress’ Gala, she had been neglecting her studies. Fortunately, Teacher Ji was rather pleased with her because she completed the assignment and exceeded Teacher Ji’s expectations.

Carrying a thick stack of notes in her arms, she ran into Du Ruoxin along the way.

It was not coincidental, because Du Ruoxin was waiting right outside the entrance of the school of jewelry design. She was obviously waiting for Wen Xinya to show up.

Wen Xinya’s face grew sullen at the thought of Du Ruoxin’s callous words. She walked towards her and quipped. “Turns out it’s you, Miss Du. I didn’t expect that you’d be studying in Capital University too.”

Everything she knew about Du Ruoxin was told to her by Ye Feiyu during the gala. She also found out quite a bit about Du Ruoxin after interacting with her at the gala, though she stopped paying attention after a while. Du Ruoxin was not to be trifled with and Wen Xinya did not want to incur her wrath, either. Hence, she did not know that Du Ruoxin was attending the same university as her.

Du Ruoxin snorted and exclaimed, “I belong to the faculty of Law!”

Wen Xinya would often get the chills whenever she heard Du Ruoxin’s snorts, though she was rather shocked to hear that Du Ruoxin was majoring in law. However, after recovering from the shock, she realized that it was only right that Du Ruoxin would major in law since it took eloquence and shrewdness to be a lawyer. It was no wonder that Du Ruoxin was often so harsh with her remarks.

Wen Xinya asked smilingly, “Miss Du, are you waiting for someone? What are you doing here at the school of jewelry design?”

Despite knowing that Du Ruoxin was there to look for her, Wen Xinya did not wish to reveal that to Du Ruoxin, for she did not wish to be criticized for being a narcissist.

Du Ruoxin stared at Wen Xinya with a derisive smirk. “It seems you’re not just simple-minded, Miss Wen. There’s something wrong with your eyes, too.”

Wen Xinya’s smiled stiffened and she said coldly, “Miss Du, I admit that it does take some talent to be so sharp-tongued and shrewd, but I don’t think it’s a good thing for you to be insulting everyone all the time. I wonder if you’ve realized that you don’t have any friends at all.”

She only decided to tolerate Du Ruoxin during the gala because there were plenty of other people there, and also because Du Ruoxin had given her some help. She felt that she could just bear with it for a while. However, she now felt that there was no need to show Du Ruoxin any face at all because the latter did not give her the basic respect that she deserved.

Du Ruoxin remained silent and stared at Wen Xinya calmly.

Wen Xinya noticed that Du Ruoxin’s eyes were light brown in color and they would glow like gems whenever she stared at someone. However, the light color made her gaze look sharp and threatening.

Wen Xinya said coldly, “Capital University is well known for its faculty of design and law. In fact, Capital University offers world-class programs in these faculties. It’s also known to all that it’s extremely difficult to be admitted to Capital University. I’m sure you worked hard to get yourself admitted to the faculty of law. Does that mean that you’re planning to work in the field of law and legislature in the future?”

Du Ruoxin nodded and said, “Yes, I would like to work in the field of crime and investigation.” It was rare that she did not put on a sarcastic smirk.

Wen Xinya smiled and said, “Regardless of what kind of job you’re interested in, human interaction is inevitable and good communication skills are fundamental in the field of law. For example… you’re in the midst of investigating a crime. If you can’t adjust your attitude to have the right mindset, do you think you can achieve your goals? Don’t you realize that you’re so unfriendly that there’s no way others can communicate with you?”

Du Ruoxin fell silent.

Wen Xinya said, “You have a conscientious mind and a sharp sense of observation. You analyze everything carefully and hence, you can grasp the bigger picture better than anyone else. You can also tell a person’s personality within a short period of time. Hence, that’s your talent. But work and life are completely different. You can’t use that attitude on everyone.”

Wen Xinya felt that she had already said everything that needed to be said. The only reason she decided to waste her effort on talking to Du Ruoxin was that she did not detest Du Ruoxin.

Du Ruoxin stared at her with a complicated expression, seemingly deep in thought.

Wen Xinya asked, “Miss Du, why are you looking for me?”

Wen Xinya decided to ask the question anyway. Since she had already made her stand clear, she wouldn’t be bothered by Du Ruoxin’s harsh remarks.

Du Ruoxin snorted before saying arrogantly again, “I know that you’re interested in finding out how I knew about Xia Ruya’s and Lin Yingxin’s plan to harm you during the gala.”

Wen Xinya stared at her and asked, “Are you willing to tell me?’

She was indeed very curious about it, though she was not bent on finding out. After all, the gala had already ended a long time ago and hence, there was no necessary reason for her to find out.

Du Ruo questioned, “Why do you think that I won’t be willing to tell you?”

Not bothered by her snide reply, Wen Xinya said, “It’s up to you!”

Du Ruoxin was unique and arrogant.

Du Ruoxin smirked. “You really know me well, huh?”

Wen Xinya remained silent with a smile. She actually did not know Du Ruoxin well, though she did not bother finding out in detail.

Du Ruoxin retrieved a voice recording pen from her bag and handed it to Wen Xinya. “You don’t have to thank me.”

She then turned around and left.

Wen Xinya stared at Du Ruoxin and watched her leave, filled with a complicated mix of emotions. Actually, she knew that the pen contained the voice recording of Xia Ruya’s and Lin Yingxin’s conversation about their plan against her. She reckoned that the two of them must have been too careless, letting Du Ruoxin overhear them.
