A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

“No… no, it’s nothing. I was just curious as to why Mu Chengxi came by. Isn’t it a bit far from your dormitory to park your car here? Do you need me to arrange a parking spot for you?”

“No need, I won’t be driving here tomorrow,” Wen Xin said, giving the two deans behind Principal Lu a look, contemplating whom it was more appropriate to ask for leave.

Wen Xin’s glance made the two people behind Principal Lu a bit uneasy, both wondering if they had done something wrong that displeased the young lady from their research institute.

“Principal Lu, I have a class, so I’ll be going now.” Having said this, Wen Xin grabbed her backpack, turned around to leave, and lifted her hand to rub her somewhat sore temple, considering who to ask for leave.

After seeing that meaningful look from Wen Xin, Tang Ming got a very uneasy feeling. He immediately took out his phone from his pocket, found Wen Xin’s contact info, and sent her a message.

“Miss, is there something about me that displeases you?”

The dean of the Biology department saw everything Tang Ming did and asked him, lowering his voice deliberately.

“Are you messaging our miss? Do you also feel that the look the miss gave us just now was a bit off?”

Tang Ming looked at the unresponsive message on his phone, turned his head to glance at the dean, “What do you think? Don’t you feel that the miss gave us a special look? I wonder if we’ve done something to displease her…”

Ever since Wen Xin entered Jingda University, Tang Ming had been very cautious, though now he was much better than before, no longer constantly sweating, and was able to remain calm in Wen Xin’s presence.

The dean of the Biology department, seeing Tang Ming’s nervous demeanor and recalling how Wen Xin didn’t give him a good expression when he was waiting outside the classroom the other day, also felt a wave of anxiety, reaching out to tug on Tang Ming’s sleeve.

“Does the miss have a bad temper? What would happen if one offended her?”

The words of the dean of the Biology department successfully made Tang Ming tense up. Shocked, he turned his head to look at the dean.

“You’re not telling me that you’ve offended the miss?”

“No… how could I? Don’t scare me. Is she really that frightening?”

The dean, Dean Ma, was startled by Tang Ming’s reaction, and he began to rack his brain, wondering if he had offended Wen Xin. But when he reflected on it, aside from a conversation with Wen Xin the other day, they hadn’t crossed paths since, so it seemed highly unlikely he had offended her.

“No, I can be certain I really haven’t offended the miss…”

“That’s good, as long as you haven’t. She’s generally quite approachable, but if you do offend her, it won’t just be a simple matter of getting along… You’ll understand in time. It’s something you need to experience deeply.”

Seeing that there was no reply coming to his phone, Tang Ming put it back in his pocket, adopting the air of someone who has been through it all, speaking with composed assurance.

“I can confirm now that the look from the miss just now wasn’t directed at us. You can relax, the danger has been averted!”

Principal Lu, walking ahead, heard the murmurs of the two deans behind him and turned to glance at them.

“Deans, the lab business this time is quite complicated. It is also the most crucial project in restoring Jingda’s lab. I’ll need you both to pay a bit more attention to this matter, and I’ll have to trouble you both with this.”

The two discussing Wen Xin suddenly heard Principal Lu call out their names and immediately snapped back to attention.

“Principal, you can rest assured, Dean Ma has already given instructions, and we will fully cooperate with the lab renovation project to ensure it is completed on time and with high quality.”

“Good, good, I appreciate your efforts. Please communicate with me in a timely manner about anything. Money is not an issue!”

President Lu, with his grand manner, looked at the deans and the people behind him from De Yi all unconsciously followed Principal Lu’s gaze, feeling that at that moment, he seemed quite inflated.

After finishing a class, Wen Xin took out her phone and saw the message from Tang Ming. She could imagine his expression right now and couldn’t help but laugh softly, thinking that Tang Ming’s timidity was a trait he might never shake off.

“I just wanted to ask for a few days off, I have some things to take care of…”

Wen Xin wasn’t in the mood to scare Tang Ming and simply shared her thoughts with him.

Tang Ming’s reply came incredibly fast; Wen Xin hadn’t even had the chance to exit the chat screen when she saw his response.

“I will handle the leave request, miss. Please go ahead and focus on your matters with peace of mind.”

Wen Xin glanced at the message from Tang Ming, then exited the chat interface without replying. She felt not replying would be best for Tang Ming.

Wen Xin, carrying her backpack, left the classroom and went back to her dorm to quickly pack. Then she took a medicine bottle from her bag, put it in her pocket, and, carrying her backpack and tablet, left the dorm.

As Wen Xin walked out, staring at her phone, she bumped into a girl at the stairway entrance by accident.

The girl, upon recognizing Wen Xin, involuntarily stepped back, then looked at her with annoyed anger.

“What, has Student Wen’s status improved so much? From a country bumpkin to the Princess Consort of the Capital, and now you look down on everyone?”

Hearing the voice, Wen Xin lifted her gaze from her phone and met the eyes of Qian Piao, who was looking at her with an oddly sardonic expression.

“Who are you? Do we have any grievances between us?” Wen Xin didn’t understand why people kept seeking trouble with her unprovokedly. Did she really look that easy to bully?

Seeing Wen Xin’s clueless face, Qian Piao scoffed, “Stop pretending. Do you think you’re really a young lady just because the Mu family arranged an identity for you? You’re just a scammer, you even swindled my brother out of three hundred million…”

Qian Piao had learned of Wen Xin as the one who had conned Qian Meng out of three hundred million, so she believed Wen Xin was nothing more than a swindler, and not only that, one who had taken so much money from Qian Meng.
