Li Mengjie was indeed professional. Very soon, she completed the entire proposal and passed it to her—every section and line was conscientiously done and to the point. At this moment, the discussion forums of Lan Feng Institute were also on fire—Wen Xinya almost became a rat on the street in school, cursed by everyone, just short of being yelled at and beaten up.

At noon, Wen Xinya, Zhou Tianyu, and Shen Mengting gathered in the hostel, browsing the posts on the discussion forums. Things were getting increasingly out of hand on the discussion forums, and there were already people hinting throwing Wen Xinya out of Lan Feng.

Zhou Tianyu was furious. “Damn, don’t these students have better things to do? They don’t need to study hard and improve themselves? Camping at the forums every day, stirring up storms—what’s the meaning in these?”

Previously, she felt that Lan Feng Institute was a high-end school, and the basic qualities of the students in the school were much better than those in other schools. Now it seemed like this bunch of people were worse off than students from junk schools.

Shen Mengting was also very angry. “Xinya obviously isn’t what they make her out to be—she’s pretty, motivated, diligent, and hardworking. Someone must have intentionally made up these posts, triggering students in the school and framing Xinya.”

Zhou Tianyu said furiously, “This bunch of morons call themselves the cream of the crop in a high-end school—proudly making a din after being used as murder weapons. They’re so shameless that I’m embarrassed for them.”

Wen Xinya browsed the posts on the discussion forums leisurely, not the least bit affected by the intense discussions.

Shen Mengting was also worried. “Tianyu, how can we help Xinya now—if this goes on, I’m afraid Xinya will be attacked by the masses and chased out of the school.”

Vexed, Zhou Tianyu grabbed her hair and said, “How do I know!”

Shen Mengting hung her head.

Furious, Zhou Tianyu walked over and switched off the power source of the computer with a click. Noticing that Wen Xinya was still browsing the posts, she only realized then that Wen Xinya was using a laptop. She instantly gritted her teeth, stretched her hand out, snatched the mouse from Wen Xinya’s hand, and shut down the laptop under her gaze.

Zhou Tianyu stared at her and said, “See see see, what’s there to see—it’s filled with posts criticizing you, and you’re enjoying the view. I think you’ve suffered such a great blow that you’re out of sorts!”

Wen Xinya took a pear, passed it to Zhou Tianyu, and said, “Here! Have a pear to calm your anger—it’s a sweet and juicy pear! Very delicious!”

It was great to have pears in autumn—they greatly moistened and nourished the lungs. These pears came all the way from Italy, shipped via a private plane by Si Yiyan.

Zhou Tianyu almost spewed blood onto her face. She and Shen Mengting were extremely worried, in a state of great confusion over her matters, and she actually had the mood to eat pears.

Wen Xinya took another pear and passed it to Shen Mengting. “Mengting, have one too!”

Shen Mengting took the pear and looked at Wen Xinya in a daze.

Wen Xinya bit the pear—its refreshing and sweet juice flowed into her mouth, sweetening her heart.

Indeed, life was made satisfying by tastes and made beautiful by feelings.

However, it would be even better to be able to see Si Yiyan!

She had not seen Si Yiyan for a long time and was missing him.

Zhou Tianyu was gritting her teeth in anger as she snatched the pear from Wen Xinya’s hand, stared at her, and said, “Wen Xinya, the person being attacked on the discussion forums is actually staying on the apartment beside, isn’t she? We’re actually just watching the show with you right!”

Wen Xinya looked at her innocently and asked, “Why do you say that?”

Zhou Tianyu gritted her teeth in fury. “Let’s hear what do you intend to do about the matter on the discussion forums!”

Wen Xinya hurriedly consoled her. “Don’t worry. I know what to do. This matter will blow over very soon.”

Zhou Tianyu stared at her and said, “A few days ago you said that you couldn’t be bothered with such minor issues, and you’re still saying the same thing today. How can you expect me to believe you.”

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed without any action from her. Yet, things on the discussion forums were quickly getting out of hand. She grew doubtful about the things that Wen Xinya had said previously.

Shen Mengting added, “This matter won’t resolve easily. I heard that previously, quite a number of students were chased out of the school due to the students’ condemnation, and the institute couldn’t be bothered.”

Wen Xinya said nonchalantly, “Then let them be! Anyway, that’s also my aim.”

She really had a way to solve it, but no one believed her, and it wasn’t convenient for her to divulge her way.

Upon listening to her words, Zhou Tianyu instantly exploded. “Damn, don’t tell me your aim is really like how previously, when your stepmother Ning Shuqian tried to smear your reputation—the more the matter escalated, the more beneficial it was to you. Are you crazy—that matter is different in nature to this one. Haven’t you heard what Mengting said—previously there had already been students driven out of the school due to matters on the discussion forums, and the institute couldn’t be bothered to do anything.”

Regarding Wen Xinya, she was really at her wits’ end. Her heart was filled with anxiety for her good friend, yet she behaved like nothing was wrong. Actually... she vaguely knew, deep down in her heart, that she must have had a solution. However, to be criticized by people like this was a tactic which also dealt considerable damage to herself while injuring the enemy. Her heart really ached for her, so subconsciously, she did not wish for her to act like this.

Shen Mengting added, “Tianyu is right—this matter could potentially be serious. Xinya, don’t be silly and wait till things really get out of hand—come that time, there won’t be any way to solve it.”

Wen Xinya sighed and said, “Then what do you guys think we should do now!”

Zhou Tianyu stared at Wen Xinya, exasperated at her failure to make things better, and said, “Such a thing has happened and you don’t even have a word of explanation. You should at least write a post on your own stand!”

Wen Xinya waved her hand and said, “Look at the public sensation on the discussion forums—even if I posted my own stand, no one will believe me. Excessive explanation will become covering up in the eyes of everyone, and everyone will only spare even less effort in criticizing me.”

Zhou Tianyu was momentarily speechless. Looking at her calm state, she couldn’t take it anymore, stretched out her finger and poked Wen Xinya’s head. “You—I don’t know what else to say. You’ve been condemned by people like this—why can’t you have some normal emotions?”

Wen Xinya looked at her in a daze. “What normal emotions—I think my emotions now are very normal?”

Condemnation at this level was nothing compared to what she had experienced in her previous lifetime—there was no need for her to be angry at such minor matters.

Zhou Tianyu contained a breath in her heart and was unable to get it out. She stared at Wen Xinya in anger. “You... are totally infuriating—so the emperor isn’t worried, but his eunuchs are worried to death!”

Wen Xinya hurriedly tugged at her hand and tried to gain her favor. “You’re the most youthful and beautiful girl—how can you be a eunuch! Eunuchs are the works of men—don’t you get involved!”

Wen Xinya was actually very touched deep down. No matter what happened, the one who was there consoling you, being worried and anxious for you—that was a true friend. And just how pathetic she was in her previous lifetime to not have even one friend.

Zhou Tianyu didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at her words. “Stop trying to act dumb.”
