Chapter 233 His wife, never inferior to anyone.
Song Yudie leaned against her desk and gave Wen Yan a defiant look: "If Zhiyi's family can get approval for such a large-scale fireworks project, why would they care about a second-hand opportunity? Some people even slander Zhiyi for plagiarism, it's really laughable!"
Wen Yan also found some people really funny: "Song Yudie, speaking of which, we even had a bond from the debate competition. It's quite funny that you're targeting me here for no reason because of a man you have a crush on."
Wen Yan specifically named him 'unrequited love' not only to embarrass Song Yudie, but also to protect Jiang Huaixu's reputation—there are countless people in this school who like Jiang Huaixu, so Song Yudie's unrequited love is not a big deal.
"Wen Yan, you!" Song Yudie took a deep breath. "I don't think there's anything shameful about liking someone. It's better than some people who have a boyfriend but still keep their senior hanging on!"
Wen Yan looked at Song Yudie coldly.
Song Yudie snorted coldly, arrogantly raising her chin with an expression that said, 'What can you do to me?'
"Wow!"
A glass of water splashed directly onto Song Yudie's face.
Everyone looked at Jiang Xing in shock.
Jiang Xing calmly closed his cup lid: "Song Yudie, we allowed you into our law school's graduate discussion room, not so you could come in and spout nonsense."
No one expected that it would be the usually aloof and impartial Jiang Xing who would make the move, and for a moment they didn't know how to react.
Ironically, what Jiang Xing said seemed to be true... Wen Yan had never hidden the fact that she was not single, and they had never seen Wen Yan and Jiang Huaixu behaving intimately.
"Yan Yan and Jiang Huaixu have a lot of interactions, right? And Song Yudie, you and Jiang Huaixu have a lot of interactions, right?" someone couldn't help but mutter.
Song Yudie's face turned ugly. Wasn't this an insult to her for relentlessly pursuing Jiang Huaixu?
"We're talking about Wen Yan and Zhi Yi, why are you dragging me into this?" Song Yudie glared at Jiang Xing. "Jiang Xing, could it be that you spoke up for Wen Yan in front of your professor, causing him to turn against you?"
Just then, someone suddenly said, "There's a clarification about the fireworks on Weibo!"
After speaking, he gave Nan Zhiyi a look that was hard to describe.
Nan Zhiyi had a bad feeling and subconsciously wanted to get rid of the matter as soon as possible.
However, before she could even speak, Song Yudie opened Weibo on her phone: "I want to see what kind of clarification this is!"
Nan Zhiyi: "Yu Die—"
As Song Yudie read, "The fireworks company stated that this fireworks display was a birthday gift prepared by the client for their loved one. This is the second time the company has received an order from this client. The first time was four years ago, when the company first set up custom fireworks to illuminate Victoria Harbour, also a birthday gift from the client to... Ms. Wen?"
Song Yudie's voice trailed off as she asked Nan Zhiyi in confusion, "Zhiyi, did the marketing account make a mistake? Miss Wen? It shouldn't be Nan Xiao..."
Before she could finish saying the last word "sister," Song Yudie finally reacted amidst the silence and looked at Wen Yan.
Wen Yan's surname is Wen, which fits the description of Miss Wen!
"Yan Yan, you seem to be from Gangcheng, right?" someone suddenly remembered.
If it's not related to Hong Kong, why go all the way to Victoria Harbour to set off fireworks?
Nan Zhiyi is Spanish, so there's no way she would celebrate her birthday in the port city.
Just now, Nan Zhiyi herself admitted that the fireworks were set off by her mother, but only a few minutes later, she was slapped in the face!
"Zhiyi?" The senior who had spoken up for Nan Zhiyi earlier couldn't help but ask.
Wen Yan looked at Nan Zhiyi.
The latter's face was as white as paper, her lips moved slightly, and her eyes were filled with tension and a hidden plea for Wen Yan.
What are you asking of her?
Should I beg her to shut up?
Wen Yan lowered her eyes and chuckled softly. After a couple of seconds, she looked up at Nan Zhiyi again and said, "Nan Zhiyi, I'm actually quite curious. Did you choose to hold your birthday party the day before yesterday because you knew it was my birthday?"
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd, and the group exchanged frantic glances.
[Was it Wen Yan's birthday the day before yesterday?]
Was that grand fireworks display for Wen Yan?
Why did Nan Zhiyi deliberately choose to hold her birthday party on the same day as Wen Yan's?
[Holy crap, the tension is palpable!]
……
“Yan, I didn’t mean that…” Nan Zhiyi said awkwardly, “It’s because my daddy is going back to Spain soon, so my birthday was brought forward. I didn’t know that the day before yesterday was also your birthday. Mommy didn’t tell me…”
“You don’t need to emphasize that your mother didn’t tell you,” Wen Yan continued. “Don’t you even know whether your parents set off the fireworks for you or not?”
“I saw that fireworks display too,” Jiang Xing suddenly said.
Everyone looked at Jiang Xing.
“I saw a string of ‘happy birthday’ facing my direction,” Jiang Xing added, “I saw it while standing next to Wen Yan.”
Nan Zhiyi's face turned pale as she looked at Wen Yan in shock.
What a coincidence!
Everyone's not stupid; they've roughly figured out what happened—Nan Zhiyi embezzled the money!
It's just a firework, yet Nan Zhiyi claimed it fraudulently. It seems quite reasonable that plagiarism of academic papers happened to her as well.
They then realized that the saying "Nan Zhiyi's family is rich and disdains plagiarism" also applied to Wen Yan! Wen Yan was so low-key that they had all forgotten that she was a young lady from the wealthy Wen family.
An awkward atmosphere filled the air.
"Yan Yan, was that fireworks display your boyfriend set off for you?" Everyone already had a feeling, but they still couldn't help but ask for confirmation in shock.
"Impossible!" Song Yudie exclaimed in disbelief. "I've seen Wen Yan's boyfriend's car before, a beat-up Volkswagen. How could a man like that afford such a large-scale fireworks show?"
A male classmate who knows cars said speechlessly, "You mean the Volkswagen with letters, right? I've seen it too, it's a Phaeton, starting at seven figures!"
Song Yudie was speechless for a moment.
"Yan Yan, you also had your birthday the day before yesterday? Happy birthday! Happy birthday!"
The others offered their belated birthday wishes, and considering the food and drinks at the free party, they didn't bring up the matter of Nan Zhiyi lying again. However, the crowd lost their enthusiasm for Nan Zhiyi.
And Nan Zhiyi's painstaking efforts to organize this birthday party also vanished at this moment!
Song Yudie's face was still dripping with water, and she looked extremely disheveled. She felt deeply deceived, as if she were a fool.
She persisted, "Zhiyi, what does this mean? Didn't you say yourself that the fireworks display was prepared for you by your mother? Say something! Were you lying to us just now?"
Nan Zhiyi gritted her teeth and remained silent, wanting nothing more than to shut up that idiot Song Yudie.
The others closed their eyes, unable to bear the sight.
At that moment, Wen Yan suddenly understood why Gu Yanci had gone to such lengths to prepare a birthday banquet for her—
He wanted to ruin Nan Zhiyi's plan and give her the fairest outcome.
He wanted to give her even more birthday wishes than Nan Zhiyi.
He wanted to ensure she would never be inferior to anyone else.
