Chapter 1528: Fake White Lotus—Shen Siwen

However, at that time, her intuition hadn’t been that strong. She just had an innate animosity towards Wen Xinya which drove her conflicts with her. Otherwise, based on Xia Ruya alone, she wouldn’t have been influenced!

Indeed, her intuition had been spot on.

Then, even though she had returned to Harbor City, she had been noticing information about Wen Xinya and knew all about her.

The information of interest to her was mostly regarding Wen Xinya’s participation and victories in jewelry competitions as well as any outstanding designs of hers.

She worked hard to chase after Wen Xinya’s accomplishments.

She had even gotten a tutor, enabling her to take part in this International Jewelry Competition this round and pit herself against Wen Xinya. This was regardless of people telling her that if she could wait for three years, she would obtain outstanding results at the same competition three years later. Otherwise, based on her current standard, it would be difficult for her to get good results.

However, she turned a blind eye and did what she wanted to do.

Because she knew that if she had really waited, it would prove that she had already conceded defeat to Wen Xinya and admit that she was already way behind her in terms of jewelry design.

Eventually, her competition with Wen Xinya halted at the finals where she obtained a mere thirty-odd placing. Although such results weren’t bad and, according to her age, had earned her much praise, she knew that she had lost.

And Wen Xinya proceeded smoothly in a high profile manner to the grand finals and could even pit herself against the world-renowned jewelry designers.

Yan Menglu was about to be sarcastic towards Wen Xinya again when a soft, feather-like voice rang beside her. “Junior, you know Miss Wen?”

Yan Menglu wisened up as her temper instantly calmed down. “Three years ago, I’ve been to Capital University to study for half a year and was classmates with Miss Wen. However, we’re not very close.”

These were merely superficial words. Shen Siwen was her senior and naturally knew about her experience in studying at Capital University. Ever since she knew that Wen Xinya was also participating in the International Jewelry Design Competition by the Milan World Expo, she had told everything she knew about Wen Xinya, including her design style and so on, to Shen Siwen.

Shen Siwen smiled and said, “I see.” Saying which, her gaze looked towards Wen Xinya graciously and sized her up secretly. “Miss Wen, it’s nice to meet you!”

Shen Siwen had started noticing Wen Xinya due to having Yan Menglu as her junior.

Yan Menglu was extremely talented in jewelry design. However, every time the name Wen Xinya was raised, her facial expression and both spoken and unspoken words expressed resentment and anger. This made her curious about Wen Xinya.

Thereafter, she started noticing Wen Xinya. Although Wen Xinya wasn’t as experienced as her in terms of jewelry design, she had caught up with her rapidly, making her raise her guard.

Ever since the start of the International Jewelry Design Competition, Wen Xinya had triumphed over her time and again. She had been treating Wen Xinya as her biggest competition.

Wen Xinya nodded politely. “Miss Shen, it’s nice to meet you too!”

From the instant when Shen Siwen appeared, Wen Xinya had recognized her as one of the ten finalists in the grand finals.

Shen Siwen was twenty-six-years-old this year, was from Country H, and had the repetitive looks of a beauty characteristic of women in Country H. She was extremely talented in jewelry design, had the reputation of a genius in the jewelry field, and had taken part in and won many prizes in many jewelry design competitions.

Wen Xinya had checked on her information before and had also studied her designs. Her works had the common strength of extremely high commercial value, which made people seek after them even more.

Thus, Wen Xinya was very sure that Shen Siwen was her biggest competition in the grand finals.

Shen Siwen was very proficient in speaking Chinese and was extremely friendly towards Wen Xinya. “Miss Wen, I’ve been noticing your works since a while ago. I really admire your talent in jewelry design, so I’ve been looking for a chance to get to know you. I didn’t expect you to actually already know my junior, Miss Yan.”

Wen Xinya was nonchalant towards Shen Siwen’s words. She didn’t believe that it was possible that Shen Siwen didn’t know that she knew Yan Menglu. They were just speaking hypocritically. “Miss Shen really flatters me. I’m the one who’s truly in awe of your good reputation in the jewelry design field.”

Shen Siwen was twenty-six-years-old this year, had already been well-known in the jewelry design world, and her reputation as a genius had already long been etched in people’s hearts. Naturally, her budding reputation as an upcoming greenhorn couldn’t hold a candle to that.

“Miss Wen is really too humble. How can I be compared to you—to be able to participate in the International Jewelry Design Competition at such a tender age? Such intentional completion already proves your capability.” Shen Siwen’s words, belittling herself in order to praise Wen Xinya, were said completely at ease, in a sincere tone, and with an earnest expression, as if these words were really heartfelt.

However, actually, Shen Siwen was already extremely guarded against Wen Xinya.

Wen Xinya’s patronizing words just now also irked Shen Siwen.

Although she had been building her reputation in jewelry design for so long, Wen Xinya only took three years to reach her level, which took her eight years. It seemed like Wen Xinya was being respectful to her, but actually she was mocking her.

A tinge of impatience flashed past Wen Xinya’s eyes. “I think the truly humble person is Miss Shen instead.”

Such back and forth hypocrisy seemed neverending. If not for the fact that it was in public and it wasn’t nice to clash with her fellow competitor, Wen Xinya really felt like turning back and leaving.

Wen Xinya couldn’t stand dealing with people as fake as Shen Siwen the most—it was indeed even more tiring than dealing with Xia Ruya.

If Xia Ruya were a real white lotus, then Shen Siwen was but a fake white lotus.

Shen Siwen looked at Wen Xinya with smiling eyes. “I feel a special chemistry with Miss Wen. I really hope to become friends with you!”

Shen Siwen said it merely because the Jewelry Design Competition by the Milan World Expo this time was based on the ruby theme and she knew that it was impossible for Wen Xinya to become champion. Since Wen Xinya was her biggest competition this time, it now seemed like she was sure to emerge as champion.
