“You! Don’t you have a conscience at all? You dared to trick Brother Feng to buy it with such a price?” The young woman decided to confront Lu Xinyi.

Lu Xinyi only crossed her arms on her chest and raised a brow.

“My conscience is clean—I have never used it.”

The three men felt like spurting blood from her shamelessness. She didn’t even deny the accusation thrown at her way.

Lu Xinyi didn’t care what these rich kids thought of her. What she knew that they were trying to mess with her. Too bad a little devil like her couldn’t be bullied that easily. That just one stuffed toy that she could easily buy online. This man was ridiculous if he wanted it to buy for 10,000 yuan just to humiliate her.

“You tricked me!” Chang Yifeng was trembling in anger.

“Ahh… I did? I thought you played yourself?” The mischievous glint on Lu Xinyi’s eyes caught his attention.

“It was just **ing 10,000 yuan. You couldn’t possibly have that money. Don’t worry, you don’t have to spend 5,000 yuan to prove your point.”

The sales attendant’s face darkened. How come this man wouldn’t let Lu Xinyi go? Weren’t it them who wanted to humiliate her in the first place?

“Sir, if I may ask. Are you going to pay or not? This is not an auction, but since you proposed the terms, would you back out on your words now?”

Lu Xinyi snickered. She quickly covered her mouth and turned to her side, but she was still heard by Chang Yifeng. He gritted his teeth and slapped his credit card at the countertop. Not only did he just wasted 10,000 yuan for a mere doll, but he also didn’t expect that this woman was able to outwit him. -.

One of Chang Yifeng’s friends kept his silence for a long time. Upon seeing Lu Xinyi the first time, he knew he had seen her somewhere. When Lu Xinyi flipped her long braid on her back, recognition dawned to him.

“Aren’t you that woman? The newest prodigy at Silver Leaf! You are also President Shen’s woman!” he blurted out.

Lu Xinyi arched a brow, surprised that someone was able to recognize her at this place.

“Eh? So what if I am?” she said, her voice implying she wasn’t bothered at all.

The sudden change on Chang Yifeng’s face sent an alarm to Lu Xinyi’s mind. She stepped back as he and his friends cornered her.

“Ah, this is why you said you only care if we came from the five big families,” Chang Yifeng chuckled, “Is thy why you are so arrogant, Miss? That a mere sponsored student of the Shen family like you will use their name in vain to save yourself?”

“If I want your opinion, I’ll ask you to fill out the necessary forms. Thank you very much for that unsolicited opinion, moron.” She reiterated.

Then, a sudden slap that landed on her face was instantaneous that Lu Xinyi didn’t have enough time to dodge it.

“Brother Feng! What have you done? You hit a woman? Ah?”

“Oops, sorry about that. My hand just slipped. It doesn’t hurt, no?” Chang Yifeng smirked at Lu Xinyi.

Lu Xinyi could feel the sting on her left cheek, but she forced herself not to give him the satisfaction to see her hurt.

“Does your mother never saw the irony in calling you a son-of-a-bitch? If I agreed with you, we’d both be wrong.”

“You still have the audacity to talk back? How could you be President Shen’s woman? You aren’t even pretty.”

His friends burst into laughter behind him. Lu Xinyi’s face remained impassive. This wasn’t the first time she was insulted this way, but that didn’t mean she was okay with it.

“Bro, that isn’t a good thing to say to a woman!”

“Is she even a woman?” The young woman earlier giggled beside Chang Yifeng.

“Yes! Yes! Have pity on her, Brother Feng!”

Chang Yifeng gave her a once-over and chuckled. “Your body can’t even please a man.”

Lu Xinyi slowly lifted her head and revealing the devilish smirk on her face, making their smiles froze on their faces.

“Well, Sugar-Honey-Iced-Tea… I didn’t know you want to be dead that badly, but okay,” she told them.

Lu Xinyi then smiled sweetly to the young woman who started this problem.

“Ah, I don’t mind being an ugly duckling, at least I don’t have to pretend. I’m sure that 90 percent of your ‘beauty’ could be removed with a Kleenex.”

Satisfied to see their faces turning green from her comebacks, she put her one hand on the pocket of her coat and left the store.

“I’ll be wary of my back if I were you,” Lu Xinyi said with all seriousness before leaving the group.

Chang Yifeng scoffed. Watch his back? Who did she think she was? He couldn’t understand this woman at all!

When Shen Yi and Tian Lingyu arrived at the restaurant, the owner told them that Lu Xinyi checked the nearby toy shop as she waited for her husband. They were just in time when Lu Xinyi tricked one of the men to buy one Akita doll at an outrageous price.

Tian Lingyu couldn’t stop a pride blooming on his chest as he watched his sister stood up for herself. When they were younger, Lu Xinyi was easily bullied because of her height and smaller figure.

“Maybe you should step in and get her.” Shen Yi’s words surprised him.

“You won’t get her?”

Shen Yi shook his head. He’d recognized the group that was harassing his wife. If he stepped in now, Lu Xinyi might get in another scandal at the middle of her exams.

“No, I think it would be better if you’re the one to get her.”

As soon as those words left his mouth, a loud slap resounded within the shop. His eyes widening as Lu Xinyi’s face was marred with a swollen cheek. A murderous glint flashed on Shen Yi’s eyes as he noticed the bleeding at one corner of her lip.

Tian Lingyu was forced to hold Shen Yi’s arm as the demon king was ready to pounce and unleash his inner psycho.

“Stay here,” Tian Lingyu whispered, “I’ll take care of Xinxin now. I expect you not to be merciful to them later…”

Shen Yi stared at him for a moment. Confused as to why his wife’s brother knew how he would deal with such kind of pests.

“You probably know who he is, but that’s Chang Yifeng. We still have a score to settle,” Tian Lingyu explained before deciding to show himself, but he was too late. Lu Xinyi had turned around to leave.

“Yu Gege? What are you doing here?” Her eyes widened. She was expecting to see her husband—not her brother. Where could Shen Yi be?

“What else but to take you back,” he paused, “What happened to your face?”

“Oh, it was nothing.” Lu Xinyi wiped the trace of blood on her mouth before pulling her brother’s arm and dragged him out of the shop, afraid that he would start another confrontation.

“You know, Baby Girl. You can tell me anything, right?”

“I’m not a baby anymore, Yu Gege!” She pouted, “Where’s my husband anyway?”

“I’m here.” Shen Yi appeared behind them. “Did you get something you like?”

Lu Xinyi shook her head. “I wasn’t able to buy one. Maybe next time.”

The three started to walk back to the inn. Lu Xinyi truly enjoyed her day except for running at those idiots at the toy shop. She could tell that Shen Yi knew what happened back there, but she chose not to say anything.

“Xinxin, do you think you can beat Han Yixin, now?” The sudden question of her brother made her stop.

“Eh? I’m not planning to challenge her anytime soon.”

“You don’t have to. She already filed her request on the board of directors.” Tian Lingyu took the bag of Osmanthus cake on her hand.

“Too soon?” She frowned. Lu Xinyi had expected that Han Yixin would eventually come her way—not to challenge her in an official cooking battle.

Tian Lingyu nodded. “Do you think you can manage?”

Lu Xinyi considered his words for a while. She still had no idea how these cooking battles work.

“I think I can manage,” she said decisively.

If there was someone who should leave the academy, it wasn’t her. If that conniving bitch thought she could play dirty with her, then she would be disappointed.
