A new resolve

"What a joke!"

"What is she doing here? Is she here to visit a friend?"

"I don't think so. Look closely. She is holding course books in her hands!"

Sneers and snides surrounded Xu Xinya as she had taken her first step into the Springfield University of the Capital City.

Springfield University was the pride of the capital city. It had nurtured many geniuses over the past decades. Its reputation extended over the seven continents. People from different countries all over the world would exploit their links and use numerous extreme methods to get their children admitted.

Even using extreme methods, the admission wasn't guaranteed.

That to say, to get admission in the university, was simply impossible for a commoner.

The fields around her mostly contained fresheners who were previously fervently discussing their courses.

Among them, there was also Shen Changying. A girl close by her whispered.

"How did she manage to get admission here? Hasn't Xu family lost its influence?"

"True... Even if she had wanted to exploit her family power, she could not have done that!" Another girl standing close to Shen Changying said. She was Yin Yu, Shen Changying's close friend.

"What's so difficult about that? Using her beautiful face, the bitch must have ****** someone from higher-ups. Haha..." A guy standing along Yin Yu named Wang Xuefeng made an outrageous comment. From his body language, it was evident he was close to Yin Yu.

"Xuefeng!" Yin Yu reprimanded, unhappy at his crude words.

"Sorry! I just said what I felt like while looking at her." The disgust in Wang Xuefeng's eyes was evident.

Everyone was a little speechless at the open comment. The next second, they all glanced in Shen Changying's direction.

Among everyone here, Shen Changying was the only one close to Xu Xinya. In fact, she could be considered Xu Xinya's closest friend.

Since Wang Xuefeng made such an outrageous accusation, they expected that Shen Changying would come to Xu Xinya's rescue.

However, Shen Changying merely ducked her head low as if she was embarrassed.

"About that... Let's not discuss the personal affairs of people..."

Everyone was shocked.

What was the meaning behind it?

"I can't believe it!"

"This is not like Ying Jie. She always stands up for her friends. However... she hates to lie...."

"Could it be that what Wang Xuefang said was true?" The moment someone said it, all of the people around glanced in Xu Xinya's direction. Disgust was evident in their eyes.

Even Wang Yuefeng was shocked. He had casually said it because of his hatred for that Xu Xinya. But who knew...

"Why am I not surprised?!" Yin Yu said in disgust.

"To think she would fall so low..."

"She is so shameless! F**k that bitch! Looking at her makes me nauseous!"

After her breakup with Jiang Fu, Xu Xinya's frivolous and flirtatious attitude was notorious. Especially now that people here were from her batch from high school, they knew her very well.

They were inclined to believe that Xu Xinya committed such acts...

In the crowd, while Shen Changying's head was low, an obscure light flashed in her eyes.

'Haha... That Xu Xinya, she previously acted like a princess. Always fooling around and doing as she wished. Always so cocky and arrogant. Now how does it feel to bear the humiliation from people? Do you see it? It was all because of your family... What are you without your family? Nothing but a pile of dust!'

Meekly, Shen Changying looked up in Xu Xinya's direction.

To see her standing rooted at her spot in embarrassment, Shen Changying gloated in triumph in her heart.

'Haha... To think I would one day see that spoiled princess in such a state... Haha...'

...

A rush of helplessness assaulted Xu Xinya as she found herself alone amongst the shower of insults. She was, after all, just a young girl who had just turned twenty.

In the past, she never had to suffer such insulting looks from people's side.

In the past, her Xu family used to be a terrifying name

In the past, these people who now stood around her while sneering in her direction used to flock around her showering her with praises and singing songs of her beauty in order to get close to the Xu family...

A mocking sneer appeared on her beautiful cherry red lips.

In the past, she used to be naive.

In the past, she had never been able to see the blackness in the hearts of the people that surrounded her...

The decline of the Xu family had opened up an opportunity for her to see the true colors of the world...

The helplessness that had surged in her heart dissipated slowly.

A coldness emerged from the depths of her soul.

A resolve solidified within her as her eyes hardened. A brilliant light shone in her brown orbs.

Suddenly the insults from the people surrounding her didn't affect her anymore...

'Aunt Bao, Jiang Ge, I will earn back what we have lost.'

Shen Changying saw a new spark in Xu Xinya's eyes. She frowned in confusion.

'What is that vixen thinking now? Whatever... I must do whatever it takes to get close to her.'

Thinking of a brilliant ploy in her mind, Shen Changying immediately stepped forward to offer the 'comfort' in need and earn Xu Xinya's trust so that she would tell her about the mysterious backer...

Since she hadn't spoken up for her at the previous accusation, she must do it now. It would make her look good, not only in front of Xu Xinya but in front of everyone.

However, someone else beat her to that.
