Chapter 1244: It’s a Talent to Be so Sharp-Tongued

Wen Xinya experienced the malice of this world.

She felt that she was being silly by thanking Du Ruoxin.

I’m the biggest fool on this earth. How could I have thought that Du Ruoxin was helping me?

Du Ruoxin made it seem like it was all wishful thinking on my part.

Du Ruoxin is so sharp-tongued and sarcastic. How could she have been helping me? She was probably just waiting to see a good show.

After all, there wouldn’t have been an exciting show to watch if I were the one who got poisoned instead.

Wen Xinya felt a sudden stuffiness in her chest which made her feel angst and frustrated.

To her anger, Du Ruoxin added sarcastically, “Women should walk with their backs straight and their core tightened while moving their hips. That’s the scientifically-proven, correct posture for walking. Not only is it healthy, but it also looks visually appealing. At the same time, you can also train your core muscles and keep your waist slim and trim. Using your legs and knees to move your calves will make your movements look too stiff.”

Wen Xinya took a deep breath and tried to convince herself to bear with it…

Ye Feiyu noticed the displeasure on Wen Xinya’s face from a distance away. She frantically rushed forwards and asked, “What’s that matter? Did the conversation go awry?”

Being extremely intelligent, Ye Feiyu could guess from the series of Du Ruoxin’s reactions that she had something to do with the swapping of snacks and tea. Du Ruoxin had given Wen Xinya a hand and given her character, so she would definitely thank Du Ruoxin.

However, Du Ruoxin’s haughtiness made it hard for others to approach her.

Wen Xinya then took a deep breath and said with a long face, “I finally know why they say that Du Ruoxin is crazy. Thanking her was a mistake, to begin with.”

Wen Xinya had never been so angst and frustrated before, not even when she had to deal with Xia Ruya.

However, the interaction with Du Ruoxin was different from that with Xia Ruya. Du Ruoxin was upright and arrogant. Hence, she was not detestable, though she was extremely unfriendly and difficult to approach. On the other hand, Xia Ruya was pretentious, hypocritical, greedy and ambitious. Hence, Wen Xinya could always keep her school regardless of what Xia Ruya did.

Ye Feiyu could imagine how frustrated Wen Xinya was feeling at the moment. She chuckled and said, “Don’t bother stooping to her level. That’s just how she is. Everyone who knows her has been criticized by her before.”

Du Ruoxin was known for her sharp tongue and vicious remarks which often put others off. Even Ye Feiyu had been the victim of her verbal attacks countless times before.

Wen Xinya pressed her lips together, still feeling upset despite having been comforted by Ye Feiyu. After all, who was willing to be criticized by someone else and being called silly, weird and a fool that was in need of some brain-nourishing?

Du Ruoxin was so harsh that Wen Xinya could not keep calm at all.

Suppressing her urge to laugh, Ye Feiyu continued to comfort her, “Alright, simmer down. From the way I see it, Du Ruoxin has already spared you some mercy. I’ve heard too many stories about Du Ruoxin making other heiresses cry during banquets because of her harsh criticism. I heard that in one of the worst cases, the victim even tried to kill herself.”

Wen Xinya flew into a rage and snapped. “What do you mean? Du Ruoxin has been kind to me, just because I didn’t cry or threaten to kill myself? It’s clearly because I have good control of my emotions. It has nothing to do with Du Ruoxin at all.”

Ye Feiyu frantically apologized. “Fine, fine. I was wrong. You have a high EQ, so don’t bother holding it against Du Ruoxin. Her bark is worse than her bite. Don’t bother getting angry and hurting yourself.”

Finally feeling better, Wen Xinya asked, “What happened to the heiress who tried to kill herself?”

She was really curious about how mean Du Ruoxin could really be.

Ye Feiyu explained, “Back then, Du Ruoxin said to her, ‘Are you really going to choose to die in such a manner? If you jump off from such a great height, your innards are definitely going to spill out of your body. You’re already so ugly and yet, you still want to die in such a hideous state. Are you sure King Hades will take you?’ That heiress then covered her face and scurried away from the balcony.”

That was when Du Ruoxin started becoming infamous for her mean demeanor and harsh remarks.

Astounded, Wen Xinya said with a sullen expression, “It takes talent to be so sharp-tongued.”

She had decided to keep a distance from Du Ruoxin from now on because the latter was not to be trifled with.

Noticing that her anger seemed to have vanished, Ye Feiyu changed the subject. “The gala today was really intense. I didn’t expect that Xia Ruya’s motive for resorting to so much trouble to invite you to the gala was to poison you with jimsonweed and make you fall into her trap. Unfortunately, Xia Ruya ended up getting a taste of her own medicine. Lin Yingxin… deserves it too.”

Ye Feiyu decided not to comment much about Xia Ruya, for she felt that Xia Ruya was utterly despicable. On the other hand, Lin Yingxin had also gotten herself in such a sorry plight, all because of her greed and intentions to harm others. She had somewhat managed to avenge her cousin.

Wen Xinya nodded and said, “Their plan was really brilliant, but Xia Ruya was being a smart aleck.”

Ye Feiyu dropped the subject after mentioning about them casually. Staring at Wen Xinya smilingly, she said, “You’ve stolen the limelight at the gala today. I’m sure everyone will find out that you’re talented in all four arts by tomorrow. No one will dare to insult you from now on.”

Ye Feiyu was extremely glad to see that Wen Xinya had managed to emerge as the winner of the gala. She was well aware that while Wen Xinya was enjoying the glory and commanding respect from others because she was Old Mr. Mo’s granddaughter, but she also faced tremendous pressure and had to prove herself to be talented in order not to ruin his reputation.

That was the reason Lin Yingxin and Xia Ruya could use the rumors to hurt Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya knew that she could emerge as the winner, partly because of Ye Feiyu who had given in to her during the calligraphy showdown. Hence, she smiled and said, “I don’t care about those superficial glory, I just don’t want to ruin Grampy’s reputation. Since I decided to join the gala, it was necessary for me to put my best foot forward.”

She did not thank Ye Feiyu for her efforts, partly because it would make it seem too formal, and partly also because she had indeed tried her best when competing with Ye Feiyu in calligraphy.
