As the four of them walked towards the lecture hall after finishing their meal, they saw that many other people were heading to the same destination.
Sure enough, when they arrived at the lecture hall, the first few rows were already full, even though the doors to the lecture hall had only just opened.
Jin Wenyao led the three of them to the middle seats in the sixth row, and sighed with regret, "We should have come earlier."
Xia Wenxi realized she had overlooked an important question: "What time does the lecture start?"
"Three o'clock in the afternoon."
"Huh? But it's not even midnight yet."
“But if you come any later, you won’t even be able to squeeze through the doors of the lecture hall, let alone get a seat.” Jin Wenyao patted Xia Wenxi on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, I brought a power bank. You can play on your phone wherever you sit.”
Xia Wenxi glanced at her bag and saw that she had come prepared. There were three power banks, water, drinks, tissues, and even snacks inside, enough to last her a whole day in the lecture hall.
Looking at the other two, they sat down and took out books from their bags to read.
"They're both preparing for their second-round exams and studying."
Xia Wenxi nodded, then asked Jin Wenyao, "And what about you?"
"My family owns a small factory. After graduation, I went back home, and my dad said he'd let me manage the factory. Wenxi, what about you?"
"I haven't decided yet. I'll graduate first."
Xia Wenxi hadn't really thought about what she should do in the future. The original owner of this body followed her brother and studied business administration, but Xia Wenxi wasn't interested in it. Recently, she had been learning from Assistant Feng, but the more she learned, the more she realized that she wasn't cut out for this field.
However, seeing Zhang Jiayi and Li Mengting preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination today gave her some ideas.
"Look at me, I forgot that your family owns Hengyuan Group. You don't need to look for a job or take the postgraduate entrance exam."
It was no secret that Xia Wenxi was an adopted daughter of the Xia family, but apart from attending classes, Xia Wenxi rarely came to school, and even when she did come, she didn't interact with her classmates, so Jin Wenyao hadn't thought of it for a moment.
"What's wrong with Hengyuan Group? It's not like it's their biological parent company."
Upon hearing this, Jin Wenyao's expression changed drastically. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xia Wenxi turned around and saw the person who spoke. He had a perm, a round face, and the logo on his clothes was bigger than his eyes.
"The circle can't tolerate you anymore? You've let someone like you out here. There should be Hui people in our school, so don't bother them with your smell."
"puff--"
Jin Wenyao couldn't help but laugh out loud. Xia Wenxi was really something, her insults were so sophisticated.
Lin Junying was a bit chubby, which made Xia Wenxi's comment even funnier, so many students watching secretly covered their mouths and laughed. As for why they laughed secretly—it was naturally because Lin Junying, relying on his status as a member of the Lin family, had caused quite a bit of trouble at school.
Lin Junying didn't understand at first, but seeing everyone around him laughing, he knew that Xia Wenxi was definitely scolding him.
"You, an adopted daughter of the Xia family, dare to speak to me like that? Go out and ask around, who would acknowledge you as a daughter of the Xia family?"
"The state has already recognized it, so why don't you? Who do you think you are? If you're so capable, go to the local police station's household registration office and ask them to remove me from the Xia family's household registration. If you're not capable, then shut up here."
Lin Junying was furious. He was a member of the Lin family, and no teacher or classmate at school dared to disrespect him. Yet, a foster daughter of the Xia family dared to speak to him like that!
"You...you Xia family don't want to continue your business, do you? Do you know that I can get my uncle to stop cooperating with your Xia family?"
"Uncle?" Xia Wenxi asked Jin Wenyao, completely bewildered, "Who is his uncle?"
Jin Wenyao whispered, "His uncle is Lin Shen, who is giving a lecture today."
This matter was no secret in the courtyard either, because Lin Junying had started spreading the word about it long ago.
"Wenxi, you've already cursed, why don't you just let it go? Don't let it really affect your family."
Xia Wenxi didn't believe the man's nonsense. When did cooperation between two groups become so hasty? He could just say he'd end the cooperation with a single sentence? Then the Lin Group was finished. Besides, she had heard Assistant Feng say that this cooperation with the Lin family was supposed to be mutually beneficial, not something the Xia family had begged for.
Lin Junying saw that Xia Wenxi hadn't spoken for a while and thought she was scared. Just as he was about to feel smug, he saw her take out her phone.
"Hey, Xia Wensheng."
"What are you doing?"
Lin Junying has been arrogant and domineering for so many years, and I have never encountered such behavior before. Why would he call on his family members at the slightest disagreement?
Xia Wenxi didn't care. She was a rich second-generation, so why should she suppress herself? If someone provoked her, of course she would fight back.
Now that she thinks about it, the original owner must have encountered a lot of gossip when she was in school. She just saw it all. When that pig from the Lin family said she wasn't the Xia family's biological daughter, many people around her had a look of schadenfreude on their faces.
“I was at school when someone called me out to ask who outside acknowledges me as the Xia family’s daughter.”
Xia Wensheng was having lunch at that moment, and his expression changed immediately upon hearing this. Even if he and Xia Wenxi didn't get along because of what happened before, it was none of the business for outsiders to say such things.
"Who said that? Who does he think he is!"
"Hmm...it's that Mr. Lin I met before, his nephew! He even said he didn't want the Lin family to cooperate with us anymore!"
"Okay, I understand."
Xia looked up when she heard the voice, and sitting opposite her was none other than her legendary uncle, Lin Shen.
Xia Wensheng placed his phone on the table, turned on speakerphone, and said to Xia Wenxi, "Say what you just said again."
Xia Wenxi didn't know why, but she did as instructed.
Then, Xia Wenxi heard another voice coming from the phone—
"Ms. Xia, please give your phone to Lin Junying so he can answer the call."
Xia Wenxi never expected that her phone call to complain would have such an unexpected result: Xia Wensheng was actually with Lin Shen.
"Here, answer the phone. Your uncle has something to tell you personally, Lin."
Lin Junying took the phone with a stiff face. He didn't know what Lin Shen said on the other end, but he grunted in response, glared at Xia Wenxi, hung up the phone, and turned to leave the lecture hall.
Xia Wenxi picked up the phone he had slammed on the table, pouted, and said, "Are you out of your mind? You even threw my phone."
After Xia Wenxi sat down, Jin Wenyao leaned over and looked at her with admiration, "Wenxi, you're amazing!"
"Is that considered impressive? It's because his fighting strength is too weak."
Zhang Jiayi also put down her book and whispered to Xia Wenxi, "If it were me, I wouldn't dare to call my family directly."
“You should say what needs to be said. If you’re being bullied outside, you should let your family know. That’s the easiest way. If they don’t care, then you can find a way yourself.”
“Wenxi is right. But Wenxi, what did President Lin say to Lin Junying just now? I saw that his face looked really bad when he went out.”
