Chapter 540: Either Be Stronger Than Me, Or Stay Away From Me
“Help me find out who bought this bracelet…”
Each limited-edition bracelet from Hualuo had a serial number, making it easy to identify the owner.
Wen Xin had just sent the message when her phone vibrated. It was a reply from the contact with the diamond avatar.
“I’ll have the results for you tomorrow. The bracelet you designed has been made. I’ll pack it and ship it first thing tomorrow morning. Is it going to the same address you gave me last time?”
After reading the message, Wen Xin thought for a moment and sent a new address. This was a birthday gift intended for Mu Chengxi, and receiving it early would spoil the surprise.
The contact quickly replied with an OK gesture. After seeing this, Wen Xin exited WeChat, opened a game, and started a match.
While she was in the middle of a team battle, a call from Tan Xingyue came in. Wen Xin didn’t hang up; instead, she quickly finished the game and picked up the call.
“What’s up?”
“Wen Xin, were you fighting in the dorm? A video of you fighting has been posted online.”
Tan Xingyue sounded anxious. She had stumbled upon the video while browsing Weibo and was distressed by the harsh comments online. In a panic, she called Wen Xin.
Wen Xin recalled the incident where she had hit Su Shan with a water bottle. Indeed, someone had been recording it, but she hadn’t paid any attention.
“I’m fine, don’t worry. I’ll handle the online stuff myself. Just take care of yourself. How are things in your dorm? Are you getting along with your roommates?”
Wen Xin didn’t want Tan Xingyue to worry about her, skillfully changing the subject. Tan Xingyue, reassured that Wen Xin would handle it, casually chatted for a few more moments.
After calming Tan Xingyue’s nerves, Wen Xin hung up, exited the game, and logged onto Weibo to search for the video of her hitting Su Shan with the water bottle.
After watching the video, Wen Xin had to admit that the filming angle was quite good, capturing her domineering behavior perfectly enough to make viewers question her character.
Wen Xin casually scrolled through the comments below. In just one hour, the number of comments had reached tens of thousands, indicating the involvement of paid trolls.
“So this is Beijing University’s Freshman King? Just started school and already so arrogant and overbearing. One would think she has some deep background, but she’s just a vulgar village girl.”
“Terrifying. Such a waste of a pretty face, with a heart like a scorpion. Hasn’t she been knocked down by society yet? Bringing that small-town mentality to the capital, this is outright bullying at school!”
“@BeijingUniversityOfficial, with such a student at your school, doesn’t anyone manage her? Seeing how skilled her actions are, this certainly isn’t her first time!”
“Didn’t you hear? She broke the student council vice president’s arm and even drove away two professors from Beijing University. What kind of background does this girl have to be able to do such things?”
“Aren’t there any authorities who manage this? How can such a student with a violent tendency even get into Beijing University? Could there be some powerful connections behind her? Otherwise, how could Beijing University admit someone prone to violence?”
“Hey, you trolls above, do you even know what facts are? Our sister was just defending herself, okay? Wait till you know the whole story before you talk.”
“Real story? No way, no way, right? Even now, they try to whitewash it? No matter how much you try, it won’t change the fact that she’s violent. To be properly disciplined, such a person doesn’t belong in school but in prison!”
“Exactly, even if there’s your so-called real story, she shouldn’t have treated a girl like that. It’s basically malicious disfigurement~”
“Just stop trying to whitewash it. The school hasn’t even dared to make a statement, which proves there’s really a problem. Fellow Beijing University students, take good care of yourselves!”
A comment defending Wen Xin quickly sank beneath the torrent of negative replies. Wen Xin wasn’t concerned about whether there were more comments speaking up for her.
Mu Chengxi glanced at Wen Xin, noticing her indifferent expression and the subtle, undefinable smile on her lips.
“I’ll have Mu Bei handle it,” Mu Chengxi said, gently taking Wen Xin’s somewhat cold hand.
“Handle what?” Wen Xin casually placed her phone under her seat and picked a piece of chocolate from Mu Chengxi’s car stash, popping it into her mouth.
“It’s best if everyone knows I’m prone to violence, so no one dares to mess with me unnecessarily. People should have something special about them, and I like to overpower the weak. If you don’t want to be stepped on by me, you better be stronger than me, or just stay out of my way.”
“I’ve always had a bad temper. If you dare to provoke me, be prepared for the consequences.”
Wen Xin arrogantly looked at Mu Chengxi, her eyebrows teasingly raised. She didn’t care about the online backlash. She hoped those people would be just as defiant when caught by her.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be fun.
Noting the time, Wen Xin felt it was getting late. She asked Mu Chengxi to stop by the roadside, where she bought a mixed rice dish to take back to the dorm.
Mu Chengxi’s Maybach was quite conspicuous.
As it parked in front of the dormitory building, it attracted a lot of attention from the other students.
Seeing Wen Xin step out of the car with a backpack and carrying takeout, many couldn’t help but take a second look, their minds filled with inappropriate speculations.
Combining this with the online slanders, they believed even more strongly that Wen Xin must have a powerful background, powerful enough to influence the decisions of Beijing University’s leadership.
Wen Xin’s cool gaze swept over the onlookers, her lips curving slightly. She waved gently to Mu Chengxi, who remained in the car, then turned and walked towards her dorm building without looking back.
“I just knew it. A girl from a small place daring to clash with the Su family seemed unbelievable. Turns out she has a powerful backer. I remember this afternoon when she arrived, it was just a regular SUV, and now it’s a Maybach, that’s just too impressive.”
“That’s not right. I saw her this morning at registration, and a man carrying a suitcase walked her into the school. Being pretty really has its perks, changing boyfriends in a day more often than I date in a year…”
“People say, with her beauty and cunning, why bother coming to study? I just don’t get it!”
