Everything went as expected. Wen Xinya's song "Fighting the East Wind" became all the rage. Then there were rumors that she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, lyrics and poetry. However, Wen Xinya did not get the reputation of a talented woman, but was instead accused of seeking popularity.
Then, the Jingcheng University forum posted comments from the talented men and women of Beihua University on Wen Xinya's "Fighting the East Wind", ranging from Wen Xin's fingering to the melody she played. Some senior people even found out a few syllables that Wen Xinya played incorrectly, and pointed out that Wen Xinya wanted to use this "Fighting the East Wind" to gain the reputation of a talented woman. Such a desire for fame and fortune is a disgrace to Mr. Mo's teachings.
Wen Xinya just laughed it off. This song "Fighting the East Wind" was taught to her by Si Yiyan. She only learned it for a dozen days and then she had military training, so she didn't practice it well. The reason why "Fighting the East Wind" has been passed down through the ages is because its piano score is obscure and difficult to play. In the world today, no one can play it to perfection and reproduce the glory of the past. Even her grandfather and Si Yiyan don't have the confidence that they can play it with 80% of its charm.
She was just a beginner, her fingering was not proficient, her control of the melody was not perfect, and even the fluency of the music was a bit sluggish. It was natural for her to be criticized like this.
However, the discussion about her in school was somewhat persistent.
"Look, that's Wen Xinya. I heard that she is now the favorite student of Teacher Ji Shihan. She hasn't been to school for a long time."
"She is still as arrogant as ever. Does she come to this school whenever she wants and not come if she doesn't want to? The school doesn't care about her. If she continues like this, and everyone becomes like her, then the school will never be able to open!"
"Don't make sarcastic remarks here. She has the capital to do this. I heard that she has a very high talent for jewelry design, so she was accepted as a favorite student by Teacher Ji Shihan. She doesn't even need to take her basic courses."
"Tsk, what kind of talent in jewelry design is that? She just copied blindly. The reason why Teacher Ji Shihan accepted her as her favorite student is because Teacher Ji Shihan and her mother Mo Yunyao are close friends. Think about it, as a friend, you must take extra care of your friend's children."
"I heard that Yan Menglu in their class is the Miss Yan from Hong Kong. Her talent in jewelry design is well-known in Hong Kong's upper-class society. Others have not made it known to everyone like she has, as if she is afraid that others don't know about it."
"It's just random copying. She's best at this. Think about it, isn't the video that's been circulating in the capital recently the result of her copying?"
"Haha! You spend all day hunting geese, only to be pecked by them. Don't you think about where you are? Capital University is a world-famous super university. Anyone who can study here must be a child of destiny. Among such a group of people, you still want to gain fame by plagiarizing. Don't you even consider your own abilities?"
"She just learned a few songs and showed them off. She relied on the fact that she was Mr. Mo's granddaughter and thought that she was a talented woman. She didn't even take a piss to look at herself."
Ye Feiyu was so angry that she laughed when she heard these people talking. "They only know how to talk behind people's backs. How can they be nobler than you? Their mouths are comparable to those of gossips."
Wen Xinya said calmly, "Don't pay attention to them. Let them talk. Even if they say a thousand or ten thousand things, as long as I, the person involved, ignore them, they will only make themselves look bad and put themselves in a villain position for nothing."
Arguing with others will only encourage their arrogance, trap oneself in the mud and get oneself into trouble. Why should she go through the thankless task of arguing with them? It will only give people something to talk about and make others watch the fun. The best way to deal with public opinion is to ignore it and slap others in the face openly.
Although Ye Feiyu was a little angry, she knew that she was telling the truth, so she had to hold back her anger: "I really don't know what you are thinking. You are now Mr. Ji's favorite student, and you don't have to come to school for classes. I haven't seen you come to school many times before, but since the rumors came out, you come to school every day, as if you are afraid of getting into trouble."
Wen Xinya laughed: "Trouble is here, and I can't avoid it even if I try to hide. If that's the case, why should I hide? I'm an upright person, and I haven't really done anything wrong, so why should I be afraid of what they say? Besides... if I really hide like this, they will think I'm scared."
She entered and left the campus openly, just to let those people see how much these rumors could hurt her, and she wanted to slap them in the face openly.
Ye Feiyu laughed: "You are right, but I really admire you. If someone said that to me, I would have rushed up to argue with him."
Ye Feiyu naturally knew that Wen Xinya had experienced a lot of ups and downs since returning to the Wen family. Although she was a little worried about her this time, she also knew that she could handle it.
Wen Xinya said: "There is no need to hurt yourself because of rumors."
In one sentence, it reveals all the wisdom of being a human being.
Ye Feiyu laughed, gave Wen Xinya a thumbs up and said, "That being said, you can't just let these rumors hurt you. Over time, even rumors can hurt people."
Although the attitude of "rumors stop at wise men" reflects a broad mind, it is not worth it if you are really hurt by rumors.
Wen Xinya spread her hands and said, "The current situation is beyond my control. If I take action, it will seem like I am the one who fanned the flames, which will make people talk about me. It's better to stay put. If someone wants to plot something against you, they will be exposed."
At this time, Xia Ruya was waiting to catch her. People's hearts are always the most difficult to control. As long as she keeps her hands off, this rumor, which is not big or small, will not spread for a few days. If Xia Ruya really wants to plan something, she will be the one who is so anxious.
Ye Feiyu nodded: "However, you have to be careful in the next few days. There are many talented people in Jingcheng University. If something like this happens, I'm afraid some people who claim to be talented will cause trouble for you. Anyway, you don't have to go to school now, so just avoid it for the next few days."
She had heard before that the vice president of the Guqin Club of Jingcheng University was a person who was proficient in Guqin music. After watching the video of Wen Xinya playing "Fighting the East Wind", she wanted to challenge Wen Xinya to a competition.
Wen Xinya understood what she meant: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Ye Feiyu's reminder made Wen Xinya vaguely aware of Xia Ruya's purpose in planning such a drama. She couldn't help but smile coldly. When she didn't know Xia Ruya's purpose, she was not afraid. Now that she knew, she was even less afraid.
