Chapter 209 - 208: Socialite’s Conversation-I

"Please take a seat, Ms. Yu." Wang Yan Zhi spoke from the seat. Placing the teacup in a clinking sound, she held a disappointment on her eyes to Xiao Yun for being late.

"Thank you." Xiao Yun replied to take a seat on the empty chair.

Talking now would be her disadvantage, Xiao Yun noted from the atmosphere. She could see how close Wang Yan Zhi was to Lin Chang Lu as they sat beside each other while she sat across her. Another lady sitting next beside Lin Chang Lu and Wang Yan Zhi, was a woman whose face bore a little resemblance to Wang Li Lei. Xiao Yun knew the woman very well, she is Wang Li Lei's cousin, Wang Shi Ning. In the past, Xiao Yun and her often clashed at each other due to how similar their personality was. Spoiled and stubbornly foolish. Xiao Yun sighed, because of Choi Yeon Jun's hypnosis, her IQ grew less like that of a mouse. It was a dark past and also the past who made her as she is now.

Lin Chang Lu retraced Xiao Yun's expression. She had thought that the poor naive girl would say something about the maid and dragged her own grave but the girl didn't say anything after she apologizes. If this happens, her plan to make Xiao Yun embarrassed would only work half-way. She squinted her eyes, placing the teacup from her hand to greet Xiao Yun with a wide delightful smile. "I have been waiting for you, Xiao Yun."

"Me too, Chang Lu." Xiao Yun replied back with her soft tone.

"Oh my, you two have known each other?" The woman beside Lin Chang Lu spoke with a surprised face.

"Chang Lu Jie-jie, you know her?" Wang Shi Ning asked with a clipped tone.

'Rude. I'm You cousin's fiancé, you know.' Xiao Yun commented to her heart.

"Yes, we met at the party held by CEO Liu, Mrs. Yan, Ning Mei-Mei." Lin Chang Lu replied, giving a quick answer so she could control the whole conversation. Shi Ning replied with a long "oh" while seizing Xiao Yun from top to bottom.

"Is that so. Ms. Yu I heard that you are still in high school?" Mrs. Yan was quick to continue the conversation.

"I have just graduated last week." Xiao Yun took the teacup to her hand and placed it down with a graceful etiquette that even Wang Yan Zhi acknowledge.

"That must be fun, so it would mean you will be going to college now." Mrs. Yan threaded the conversation carefully. Xiao Yun missed the eye contact, Mrs. Yan, Lin Chang Lu, and another woman were having, replying kindly, she said, "Yes, I would be attending the college entrance exam near this week."

"Oh, my close nephew will also be going to attend college entrance exam near this week, may I ask which college you will be going to, Ms. Yu?" The other woman asked and immediately the chattering sound around them halted to hear Xiao Yun's college choice.

Lin Chang Lu had a relaxed expression to her who graduated from overseas she was very confident that Xiao Yun could never beat her in academic skill. Her eyes narrowed with full intent in destroying Xiao Yun's name today. She felt very confident after finally able to trick Xiao Yun into being late today.

"The Winter Stone College." Her voice shattered the women who were ready to mock her. They had their eyes widened in surprise, gaping their mouth widely. The Winter Stone College wasn't only hard to enroll and the entrance exam stayed first in rank as the most difficult exam throughout the capital, it was also the top list of colleges for the socialites to enter.

Lin Chang Lu's smile twitched, almost in the brink of falling down. Mrs. Yan turned her shocked eyes at her, asking once again in doubt. "That Winter Stone College?"

"Winter Stone Collage you mean, the Collage where Elder Cousin Li Lei's father studied at?" Wang Shi Ning gasped in surprise. She herself had been trying to enter the collage but couldn't enter due to her poor academic skill.

"Yes." Xiao Yun confirmed. Seeing the women's surprised face, she recalled herself to have almost the same expression when Wang Li Lei told her to enter the college. She doubted herself at first but now after his help, she believed in herself more than ever.

"If I'm not wrong, not anyone can enter the college or try the exam unless they receive the letter of recommendation from the college itself." Mrs. Yan alluded.

"I heard that to fill the recommendation if the college you need to score at least one full mark in the school exam or else most of the other students would bribe the people." The woman in the opposite seat of her narrowed her eyes and smirked. "Of course I'm not saying that you tampered your own exam by bribing the college's staff." she spoke with a snake-like smile, slowly alluding the people's opinion yet with a tone that seemed to be very worried for her sake.

"That's true, but isn't it almost impossible for someone to receive a full mark?" Wang Shi Ning's eyes fell on Xiao Yun, she added. "Especially with the lessons you receive from a normal school. I do think it's almost impossible unless you're a genius but even a genius doesn't easily appear like a falling apple from the tree?"

Xiao Yun could hear some of the women behind her chattered behind with suspicion and another snickering. In the place now, Wang Yan Zhi held no intention of helping her, perhaps she sat there to see how Xiao Yun could handle the socialite's gathering by her own eyes. Judging whether the naive little lady could really withstand the harsh criticism that always floats upon the socialites. Everyone expected that not soon after a half an hour the girl would run out of the tea party with shame written all over her face. Since the moment Xiao Yun received the sudden invitation from Lin Chang Lu, she had expected this to happen.
