As predicted by Wen Xinya, Shen Mengting indeed got into the student union together with Zhang Xuwen. However, unexpectedly, Xia Ruya actually also joined the student union.

She couldn’t help but recall in her previous lifetime, in Ching Hua High School, instigated by Ning Yuya, she had participated in the student union assessment. Then, when Xia Ruya got into the student union and she got rejected, everyone compared her and Xia Ruya, saying that Xia Ruya was more outstanding than her. Thereafter, no matter how hard she worked for her studies, she could never match up to Xia Ruya who had a student union halo above her head.

After school at noon, Wen Xinya was about to head to the canteen for lunch when she bumped into Chu Jingnan at the crepe myrtle flowers trail.

Chu Jingnan also seemed shocked to see her. “Miss Wen, didn’t expect to bump into you here in the extensive school grounds—indeed, it’s fate.”

With a slightly thin and dull smile, Wen Xinya looked at him plainly. “The honorable President Chu likes to joke. There are thousands of students in the school—is everyone who bumps into you fated with you?”

“In this vast world, it’s already fate to get into the same school for studies.” Chu Jingnan’s smile stiffened slightly. Previously, when she had always gone head-to-head with him, although he had felt puzzled, he had taken it as she had done so on purpose to attract his attention. However, now it seemed that this Miss Wen was really hostile towards him. He did not know he offended this Miss Wen.

Wen Xinya spoke with a mocking and cynical tone. “The honorable President Chu’s understanding of fate is indeed generous. No wonder you can become the president of the student union and others can’t—indeed you can’t be compared to us, the normal folks.”

The veins on Chu Jingnan’s forehead twitched. He really wondered why, other girls became meek sheep when they saw him in school, but this Miss Wen Xinya instead became like a hedgehog, determined to injure him with her spikes.

However, he had learned how to be tolerant and accepting from young. Thus, although he was fuming inside, it didn’t show outside. He changed the topic. “Miss Wen, are you heading to the canteen for lunch? Let’s go together!”

“Is the honorable President Chu asking me for lunch?” Wen Xinya asked in a half-laugh.

Chu Jingnan smiled and said, “If Miss Wen obliges!”

See! Girls were all the same—softening around one’s fingers with a little more patience. This Wen Xinya must have been acting hostile to attract his attention.

The smile on Wen Xinya’s lips froze, becoming cynical and disdainful. “The honorable President Chu is indeed sincere to invite me to the canteen for lunch. However, unbeknown to the honorable President Chu, I’ve always liked the abalone and shark’s fin from Shangri-La. You…” Her gorgeous lips curled up, each fine line on her red lips radiating charm, her disdainful gaze sizing him up from head to toe as she looked at Chu Jingnan’s handsome, gentlemanly face coldly, her face becoming twisted. “… can afford it?”

Before returning to the Xiao Family, Chu Jingnan was but an ordinary person, even having to scramble to amass the expensive school fees through working and scholarship. He had been able to get into Lan Feng only because he was outstanding enough, and naturally wouldn’t be able to afford to treat her to lunch at a high-end place like Shangri-La.

The green veins on Chu Jingnan’s forehead instantly started throbbing rapidly. Such outright despise and sneering seriously humiliated Chu Jingnan’s self-esteem. A hazy aura arose in his eyes. “Miss Wen, indeed, I can’t afford to treat you to abalone and shark’s fin at Shangri-La, but you don’t have to humiliate me like this.”
