A hint of hesitation appeared on Zhou Cui’an’s face. “But, even if I apologize, Ye Leng’an may not necessarily let things go! If that’s the case, then wouldn’t I be humiliating myself?”
Murong Yumeng’s impatience deepened in her eyes, but she maintained a composed exterior. “You don’t need to worry too much. Apologize to her first. If it doesn’t resolve, then you can seek help from Shaohua! He’s your boyfriend, he surely won’t stand idly by.”
“But…” Zhou Cui’an looked troubled. “I still don’t want Shaohua to know about this.”
For one, she didn’t want Huangfu Shaohua to know about her actions. Secondly, she didn’t want to give him any opportunity to see Ye Leng’an.
Although she disliked Ye Leng’an’s behavior and her pursuit of wealth, she had to admit that she was undeniably beautiful. She also worried that if Huangfu Shaohua saw Ye Leng’an, he might develop feelings for someone else.
It was for these reasons that she sought out Murong Yumeng instead of Huangfu Shaohua.
Zhou Cui’an’s indecisive attitude had pushed Murong Yumeng’s patience to its limit. “How about I accompany you to find Ye Leng’an? I’ll be there to help you plead your case, hoping she’ll forgive you.”
Before Zhou Cui’an could respond, Murong Yumeng interrupted again.
“Junior Sister Zhou, if you keep refusing, then I don’t know how else to help you.” The smile had vanished from Murong Yumeng’s face, replaced by a hint of impatience. “Otherwise, let’s just pretend we never met today.”
Hearing this, Zhou Cui’an realized that continuing this way would only anger Murong Yumeng. She wouldn’t know what to do then.
Murong Yumeng didn’t pressure Zhou Cui’an further. She sat quietly, waiting for a response, confident that Zhou Cui’an would make the right choice.
After a moment, Zhou Cui’an finally spoke, “I’ll trust you with this.”
At this point, she had no other option but to follow Murong Yumeng’s advice.
Despite making a decision, Zhou Cui’an still felt uneasy. Sensing Murong Yumeng’s reluctance to continue the conversation, the two quickly parted ways.
Knowing that Ye Leng’an was likely still in the dormitory, Zhou Cui’an decided not to return there.
After afternoon classes, Ye Leng’an received a call from Murong Yumeng.
Upon receiving the call, Ye Leng’an’s eyes flashed with a glint of amusement. She had never given her contact information to Murong Yumeng, yet Murong Yumeng somehow obtained it.
Hearing Murong Yumeng’s invitation, Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a cold smile. “I’m sorry, Senior Sister, but I already have plans tonight, so I won’t be able to attend the dinner.”
Murong Yumeng was taken aback by Ye Leng’an’s swift rejection. No one had ever dared to refuse her so decisively. Especially in her eyes, Ye Leng’an was insignificant, yet she dared to reject her.
Suppressing her anger for her ultimate goal, Murong Yumeng adopted a gentle tone. “Is that so? That’s a pity. Junior Sister Ye, when are you free? Let me treat you to a meal and strengthen our bond.”
Ye Leng’an pondered for a moment before responding, “How about tomorrow afternoon? You can choose the location.”
Although she initially had no intention of accepting, she sensed the underlying anger in Murong Yumeng’s tone.
She wanted to see what Murong Yumeng wanted from her, to make her “lower her status” like this.
Murong Yumeng was momentarily surprised by Ye Leng’an’s acceptance but quickly composed herself. “Alright, I’ll make the reservation. I’ll send you the restaurant’s name and private room number tomorrow morning.”
With a simple acknowledgment, Ye Leng’an ended the call.
As the busy tone sounded from the phone, Murong Yumeng could no longer contain her anger. She angrily threw her phone to the ground, shattering it into pieces.
However, none of the onlookers felt any sympathy for the loss of a phone.
Seeing Murong Yumeng’s outburst, Xiao Lingling cautiously asked, “What happened?”
“Ye Leng’an is too arrogant!” Murong Yumeng sneered. “I invited her to dinner, and she still has to check her schedule.”
“Don’t let such an insignificant person anger you,” Xiao Lingling quickly reassured her. “Ye Leng’an won’t be able to act so arrogantly for long. Even if Zhou Cui’an apologizes and clarifies the situation regarding the forum post, not many people will believe her. Moreover, judging by Zhou Cui’an’s attitude, she doesn’t seem eager to apologize. There might be some trouble later!”
“Hmph, Zhou Cui’an is acting like a hypocrite,” Murong Yumeng scoffed. “She despises Ye Leng’an to the core. Whether the two can reconcile is uncertain!”
“Who knows, it might even escalate further!” Xiao Lingling added. “But, are we just going to let the forum matter go?”
“Have you finished cleaning up?” Murong Yumeng asked Xiao Lingling. “Although I’m not sure if Ye Leng’an will really involve the police, it’s better to be cautious.”
Murong Yumeng glanced at Xiao Lingling and said, “If anything happens, you know what to do.”
“Senior Sister, I’m the one who handled everything on the forum. I disliked Ye Leng’an, so I instigated it,” Xiao Lingling quickly confessed. “You didn’t know anything.”
Murong Yumeng nodded in satisfaction.
