Chapter 10

After that, Wen Nian went home and made a fuss about dropping out of school. After that, she never came to school again.

On the surface, Wen Nian appeared to have neglected her studies for only a year, but in reality, it felt like more than a decade had passed. Looking back now, it was almost like deciphering a heavenly book. Learning was extremely difficult. She could manage with liberal arts subjects, but when it came to science subjects, Wen Nian would scratch her head until she was almost bald.

Wen Nian had not built a good foundation in her first year of high school. Furthermore, to catch up, the school had allotted ample time for college entrance exam training and revision in their third year. As a result, the progress made in the first semester of the second year had already covered the content for the next semester.

Wen Nian could only try her best to understand the new content in class. After class, she would use all her free time to relearn the school materials starting from the first year of high school.

The morning passed by quickly, and when the bell rang for the fourth period, Wen Nian rushed to the school canteen with her lunch box. Since she started hanging out with Huang Yue, the two of them would go out of school for lunch almost every day..

The school canteen was known for serving cheap but poorly-tasting food, earning it the reputation of being “commoner’s food”. Students with better financial conditions usually opted to eat at restaurants near the school instead. However, after going out to eat with Huang Yue a few times, Wen Nian learned to enjoy life and convinced her parents to increase their living expenses so they could eat outside of the school.

The present Wen Nian was no longer a picky eater when it came to food. To maximize her study time and catch up on her studies, she had no plans of returning to the dormitory to rest in the afternoon. Hence, the school canteen became the best option for her. Despite the mediocre taste, it saved her time and money.

“After the bell rang, half a minute passed and Huang Yue looked back casually to see if Wen Nian was struggling to express her goodwill to her. However, she noticed that the back row was empty. She realized that no one else would accompany her for dinner, so she calmed down.”

Half an hour later, Huang Yue saw Wen Nian walking in with a lunch box. She suppressed her temper and asked, “Wen Nian, did you go to get food?”

Wen Nian looked very good-tempered and replied with a smile, “Yes, I’ve finished eating.” With that, she walked past Huang Yue’s seat without stopping.

Huang Yue opened her mouth slightly. She was so angry that she wanted to curse. However, when she thought of Wei Xiao’s plan, she endured it and suppressed her anger.

Seeing Wen Nian take out a glass of water and take a few sips before starting to read again, Huang Yue felt that Wen Nian had become a little strange. Huang Yue thought that she had finally succeeded in ruining her, so why was Wen Nian starting to improve again? This scene made Huang Yue frown.

However, it did not matter. Her vanity could not be cured anytime soon. Huang Yue did not believe that money could not attract her attention.

Then, she recalled the day of the banquet. After Huang Yue sneaked in and found Wei Xiao, she pretended to unintentionally reveal many photos of Wen Nian at the bar to him. Wei Xiao’s reaction at that time made her extremely satisfied. She knew it —How could a country bumpkin whose family still rented a house in Hai City be worthy of the future heir of the Wei Corporation?

Huang Yue had long been planning on using the matter of helping Wei Xiao take down Wen Nian as a way to get closer to him. She believed that if she succeeded, she would be able to solidify her position in the relationship and ultimately take him down. After the annulment of Wei Xiao’s marriage to Wen Nian, no one in the Huang family would dare to underestimate her.

After Huang Yue adjusted her mood, she walked to the back of Wen Nian’s desk with her usual smile. Her voice was gentle, but her volume was not soft at all. “Wen Nian, look at your temper. You’re still so explosive. Your anger from Friday hasn’t subsided yet? You didn’t even call me for dinner.”

Huang Yue said that on purpose after noticing Shen Jun eating a sandwich in the back row. Although he was wearing a school uniform like everyone else, his demeanor was too refined to be from an ordinary family. He must come from a wealthy and influential family, perhaps similar to the Wei family.

Although Huang Yue wasn’t sure about Shen Jun’s family background, it didn’t stop her from wanting to tarnish Wen Nian’s image in everyone’s eyes.

Wen Nian looked up at Huang Yue and said innocently, “You were the one who suggested cutting ties with me that day. I rejected other people’s gifts because I didn’t feel deserving of them. When you saw that I rejected them, you even went ahead to accept them. It would make others think that I was unable to resist the temptation of money. You are usually so smart, so why don’t you understand this logic? You made a mistake when you saw expensive gifts. You can’t be so vain. I am angry mostly because I am worried for you.”
