The results of the final exam came out a long time ago, and she ranked fifth in the grade. She was able to achieve such a result thanks to the notes and review points that Zhong Rufeng had compiled for her, so she wanted to invite him to dinner to express her gratitude, but her grandfather was suddenly hospitalized and Si Yiyan was injured, so she ignored this matter.
She called Zhong Rufeng, and they met at a private restaurant not far from the college. The fish in this restaurant was particularly good, and the business was usually very good, always packed with customers. It was only slightly better during holidays.
When Wen Xinya arrived, Zhong Rufeng had not arrived yet. She came to the door of the private room, which was then opened by someone in the room. Wen Xinya was forced to face the person in the room.
"Xinya?" Chu Jingnan looked at her with a slight surprise, with a strange light flashing in his eyes. His tall body suddenly took a step forward, bringing with it an invisible oppressive force.
"What a coincidence! President Chu!" Wen Xinya greeted him indifferently. After all, he had helped Jiang Ruoyin a little at the police station when she was kidnapped last time, so she didn't give him a cold look, but her dull expression revealed her indifference towards Chu Jingnan.
"Come here for dinner with friends?" Chu Jingnan's low and hoarse voice was particularly magnetic and sexy, and his eyes, as deep as ink, were fixed on her, with conjecture and guesswork.
Wen Xinya nodded calmly: "Yes, I have an appointment with Zhong Rufeng."
Chu Jingnan's deep eyes suddenly became profound. He couldn't help but think of a post that had been on the forum for a long time when school started. On it was an intimate photo of Wen Xinya and Zhong Rufeng in the Crape Myrtle Path. When Wen Xinya and Zhong Rufeng stood together, they were a talented man and a beautiful woman, like a match made in heaven, beautiful and affectionate.
It made him jealous almost every time he thought about it!
After all, whether in terms of character, appearance, talent, family background, status, or wealth, Zhong Rufeng is a match for Wen Xinya, and he is far from Zhong Rufeng.
Later, he quietly deleted the post while the popularity of the post had cooled.
After a brief silence, Chu Jingnan said, "You ranked fifth in the grade in the final exam this time. Congratulations!"
"Thank you!" Wen Xinya thanked politely yet distantly.
Chu Jingnan looked at the girl in front of him, who was obviously only fifteen years old, but he seemed to never be able to judge her with the perspective that belonged to her age. The Xiao Group's acquisition of Ai Shang failed. He learned from Xia Ruya that it was she who hoarded Ai Shang's shares and maliciously hyped up the stock price to profit from it, causing the Xiao Group to suffer heavy losses.
Such a cruel method made him no longer have the confidence to win Wen Xinya: "Wen Xinya, what kind of person am I in your heart?"
Wen Xinya frowned slightly. She really didn't want to comment on what kind of person Chu Jingnan was. "Is this important?"
Chu Jingnan stared at her intently and said, "It's very important. I want to know where I lost!"
Yes! Wen Xinya's defensiveness towards her seemed to be innate, which made him experience the taste of frustration for the first time in his life. So he wanted to know what went wrong and why he fell into such trouble with Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya really didn't know how to answer this question. To be honest, putting aside the hurt that Chu Jingnan had caused her in her previous life by playing hard to get, she really had no way to deny Chu Jingnan's excellence and brilliance, so she had no way to judge him.
"Why don't you answer my question?" Chu Jingnan took a step towards her with an aggressive and domineering attitude. The dim yellow light made his figure look even taller.
Wen Xinya laughed softly and said, "You said you wanted to pursue me. Can I understand that you like me?"
"Of course!" Chu Jingnan answered without thinking, his tone full of unquestionable certainty.
Wen Xinya looked at Chu Jingnan, her lips curled up slightly, with a hint of mockery: "If I were still that little girl hanging around on the streets, would you like me?"
Chu Jingnan's pupils shrank, and he wanted to say "yes", but under Wen Xinya's clear gaze that could see through the soul, and the sarcastic smile on her lips, the voice was stuck in his throat.
The sarcasm on Wen Xinya's lips was like melted ink, coloring her entire face, and then slowly settling without a trace: "Look, your liking for me has preconditions and conditions. The first thing you consider is the benefit to you. Do you think I will see such a profit-seeking person in my eyes?"
Such straightforward words were like a thin but sharp scalpel dissecting his body and exposing it to the sun. He suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment in his soul: "It turns out that I lost at the beginning. Thinking about it makes me feel desperate."
Wen Xinya suddenly wanted to tell him that he had actually lost in his previous life. She wondered if he would feel more desperate than he did now: "Don't pretend to be affectionate in the name of liking me. It's really disgusting to think about it."
"Brother Chu!" A soft and gentle voice suddenly broke the awkward atmosphere.
Wen Xinya looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xia Ruya wearing a snow-white dress. The tiny red cherries between the hem of her skirt were gorgeous and enchanting, making her face even more beautiful.
"Xin... Xinya!" Xia Ruya seemed very surprised to see Wen Xinya. She was wearing a cherry-red long skirt with snow-white and delicate cherry blossoms at the hem of the skirt floating like clouds, embellishing thousands of graceful shapes and thousands of simple and elegant things. The petals and leaves grew alternately and densely, the buds were moist and harmonious, and there was an indescribable fragrance and purity.
Suddenly, she felt disgusted with the plainness of her clothes. She subconsciously pulled at her long skirt, and her cheeks suddenly became hot. She had picked this dress specially for meeting Chu Jingnan, and she had chosen the style that Wen Xinya usually wore, but she didn't expect... to be bumped into by Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya looked at Xia Ruya and raised her eyebrows, looking at Chu Jingnan with a half-smile. On the one hand, he pretended to be affectionate to her, but on the other hand, he was ambiguous with Xia Ruya. Chu Jingnan was indeed the same as in his previous life, with bad roots that were hard to change. However... a scumbag and a bitch are the perfect match in the world.
Wen Xinya's raised eyebrow look made Chu Jingnan feel even more embarrassed, and even felt ashamed.
Xia Ruya seemed to sense the strange atmosphere, so she quickly explained: "Brother Chu helped me a lot in my final exam review, so I specially invited Brother Chu to dinner today to thank him for his help before."
Chu Jingnan couldn't help but feel relieved when he heard Xia Ruya's explanation, but as soon as she spoke, he felt what it meant to make things worse by explaining more, and he felt very embarrassed for a moment.
Wen Xinya nodded lightly, not wanting to get entangled with them any more.
Xia Ruya looked at Wen Xinya and asked, "Xinya, are you here to eat today too? Are you alone?"
Wen Xinya saw from a distance that Zhong Rufeng was wearing a light blue coat and grey casual pants. He exuded a leisurely and elegant aura, and was slowly walking towards her: "The person I met is here."
