Ever since she knew about the design curriculum of the finals, Wen Xinya had mostly stayed in her room working on her designs. Her days were rather pleasant.
The only imperfection was that she couldn’t contact outsiders and had not spoken to Si Yiyan on the phone for a few days already. Ever since she got together with Si Yiyan, although they were frequently apart as Si Yiyan was busy with work, such instances of no contact for days were rare.
Thus, an uncontrollable longing for Si Yiyan arose in Wen Xinya’s heart.
Four days passed while Wen Xinya was imrsed in working on her designs and missing Si Yiyan at the sa ti.
It was finally the deadline for the submission of the drafts for the finals.
Mr. Ronda knocked on Wen Xinya’s room door and finally brought her to the Milan World Expo. This ti, the International Jewelry Design Competition was held right at the Milan World Expo.
Wen Xinya stayed at a hotel slightly further out from the Milan World Expo—it took about one hour by driving.
When they reached the Milan World Expo, it was already 10 A.M.
At the Milan World Expo, Wen Xinya chanced upon a familiar person.
About three years ago, when school started at the Capital University, she had co to the Capital city with Xia Ruya for further studies and had been jealous and resentful towards her because she had beco Ji Shihan’s student—Yan nglu from the Yan Family from Harbor City!
Yan nglu obviously saw Wen Xinya too as her footsteps halted slightly before she walked towards Wen Xinya. “Miss Wen, it’s been a few years. How have you been?”
The few years had done trendous changes to Yan nglu. She was wearing a red cheongsam with peony embroidery. On the collar of the cheongsam was a pigeon-blood ruby, the size of a fingernail, which was polished, glowing, and gorgeous. Her light brown hair was kept in a bun behind her head with a red jadeite hairpin with flower engravings. She radiated the strong aura of a Chinese beauty.
The cheongsam, which was known for its conservativeness, elegance, and mysteriousness, when worn on her, gave off an arrogant, cold, and overbearing feeling. However, the hostility from her eyes had decreased dramatically.
Wen Xinya could tell that her tone wasn’t friendly and smiled mildly. “Still the sa.”
Honestly, Wen Xinya was indifferent to Yan nglu. Previously, when she just ca to the Capital city with Xia Ruya to sow discord, she had indeed had a few clashes with her, attributed to Yan nglu’s arrogance. After that, after everything had cleared up, things were peaceful between them. Undoubtedly, Yan nglu was indeed an intelligent person.
Yan nglu was quite talented in jewelry design and often secretly competed with her. However, during the second sester of their first year in the university, Yan nglu had returned to Harbor City. It was rumored that the Yan Family had found a world-renowned jewelry designer to tutor her.
Since then, Wen Xinya had stopped noticing her.
She had heard that her talent in jewelry design was well-known in the upper-class society of Harbor City. This ti, at the International Jewelry Design Competition by the Milan World Expo, she had proceeded smoothly through the stages only to be eliminated before the grand finals. Nevertheless, her accomplishnt at such a young age had been praised by everyone.
“Miss Wen must be kidding. How are you still the sa—you’re doing as well as you can. These past few years, even though I’m in Harbor City, I’ve heard all about your accomplishnts. Miss Wen is really sothing to be even famous in Harbor City.”
Yan nglu stood tall at 1.7 ters, and, with her 15-centiter high heels, standing before Wen Xinya right now, she had a height advantage which made her have an odd sense of superiority when facing Wen Xinya.
Yan nglu disliked Wen Xinya very much. In the sester when she studied at the Capital University, she was obviously on par with Wen Xinya regardless of background, looks, talents, or capabilities. However, Wen Xinya trumped her in all aspects.
Wen Xinya beca Ji Shihan’s student and started to excel in jewelry design, gradually surpassing her. Thus, everyone compared her to Wen Xinya, saying that she was inferior. This made the proud Yan nglu feel horrible and hate Wen Xinya even more.
Yan nglu’s words were still an and harsh as before. However, compared to the past, they were already much prettier. “Miss Yan, you flatter .”
The mild words were neither serious nor frivolous and neither soft nor hard, but they made Yan nglu’s mocking words feel like punching cotton, which enraged her.
“Wen Xinya, do you think I’m praising you?” Yan nglu detested how Wen Xinya always looked so calm as if she didn’t have a care in the world and everyone was worthless ants in her eyes. Every ti she saw this look of hers, she couldn’t help but grit her teeth.
Seeing how Yan nglu was smiling mildly without speaking, Wen Xinya totally ignored her sarcasm.
Yan nglu’s expression changed mysteriously and suddenly laughed weirdly. “Wen Xinya, I admit that you’re indeed talented in jewelry design and better than . However, today, your journey will only stop here. If you’re thinking about erging as champion, it’s only wishful thinking.”
Based on her knowledge, the grand finals this ti was based on the design the of the ruby. Everyone knew that Wen Xinya had previously used ruby for a couple of her designs for the red-thed jewelry series for the Wen Corporation. With that precursor, it would be even more difficult for Wen Xinya to use the sa the and win.
Wen Xinya knew what Fang nglu ant and said mildly, “Miss Yan doesn’t have to worry about this. It’s not up to you to decide my competition results.”
Indeed, to Wen Xinya, the design curriculum was a huge challenge. However, Wen Xinya was already currently better than before. Because of that seven treasures necklace, she had officially entered the ranks of the great jewelry designers. Recently, with the assistance of Teacher Ji, she stayed focused and drilled on what she had already learned. Naturally, the products that she designed would surpass her previous works.
Rebutted by such neither casual nor serious remark, Yan nglu couldn’t help but beco agitated montarily as the hostility in her eyes gradually grew. “Oh, is that so? We’ll watch and see, then.”
Yan nglu had followed her senior to Milan this ti. Her senior, Shen Siwen, had entered the grand finals of this Jewelry Design Competition in second place, right behind Wen Xinya.
Wen Xinya was Shen Siwen’s strongest competitor.
Shen Siwen was very wary of Wen Xinya. However, after knowing about the the of the grand finals, she was no longer afraid of Wen Xinya.
“Okay!”
The plain word was said in a calm tone, without the least bit of emotion.
