Shui Anluo considered it for a moment before she pressed the final number to make the call and said, “Can’t you be less moody to the Empress Dowager? It’s not like it’s her fault.” The call was connected and Shui Anluo grinned as she stated her objective.

Qiao Yaruan could tell that Shui Anluo really was not so bothered by the incident but her heart was still in knots. Fortunately, nothing too bad had happened to Shui Anluo this time. Otherwise, Qiao Yaruan would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life.

“Luoluo, I...”

“Tsk, are you coming or not? If you’re going to keep walking on eggshells when you talk to me, I’m going to cut ties with you. Am I not alive and well now?” Shui Anluo quickly interrupted her friend. Actually, she should thank Qiao Yaruan because if it had not been for her, it was likely that she and Chu Ningyi would not have taken that first step toward reconciliation.

Qiao Yaruan chortled when she heard Shui Anluo’s words. “What position do you take when cutting ties?”

“Ugh, you’re so dirty...” Shui Anluo giggled. “We’ll meet at seven-thirty tonight. I’ll wait for you at my place,” said Shui Anluo. She felt more relaxed now since she could still joke around with Qiao Yaruan.

Shui Anluo put her phone away. She leaned back on the seat while she looked at Chu Ningyi and tapped her chin with one hand. She wanted to have a good talk with Director Chu so he would not scare the Empress Dowager.

“Chu Ningyi, why don’t I tell you a story?” asked Shui Anluo.

“If you’re planning to speak up for Qiao Yaruan, you can save it.” Chu Ningyi scoffed icily.

Shui Anluo rolled her eyes. “Chu Ningyi, I’m going to tell you anyway. It’s not a question, I absolutely have to tell you this story.”

Chu Ningyi’s hand jolted and the car swerved. Shui Anluo screamed in shock.

“Speak!” Chu Ningyi gritted his teeth. This little girl was getting increasingly bold.

Shui Anluo smiled. She now realized that Director Chu was a cat in tiger’s skin. He looks fierce but he would never actually hurt her.

“In the beginning, she had no idea that I was married to you. She certainly didn’t know about our divorce except after I got pregnant. Many people in the university had said that I got pregnant out of wedlock. Even my roommates in my dormitory were talking behind my back. She was the only one who supported me. Some people also accused me of having a sugar daddy and was then cast aside. She fought with them and nearly got a serious demerit,” Shui Anluo said. Even though a lot of time has passed since then, the mentioned of it caused her eyes to turn red.

“A sugar daddy?” Chu Ningyi scoffed.

“Tsk, that’s not the point.” Shui Anlu looked at him, irritated.

Chu Ningyi scoffed, indicating that she could continue.

“Some even accused me of working in a bar and that not even I knew who the father was. Guess what the Empress Dowager did when she found out?” Shui Anluo now felt that this was both funny and infuriating but she also felt very touched by it.

Chu Ningyi raised his brow. What could that tomboy, Qiao Yaruan, possibly do? It was hard to say.

“She made a public announcement through the university broadcast station during the Level 4 exam that in the future, if she ever hears anyone accuse me of working in a bar, she’d never stop attacking that person. The Level 4 exams were practically ruined by her and the lecturer was hopping mad. She was nearly expelled at the time.”

“Looks like she’s the only one who could do something like that,” Chu Ningyi remarked indifferently. However, it was not enough to absolve Qiao Yaruan of the blame.

“From then on, the rumor at the university was that she also worked in the same bar as me and that it was a front for prostitution.” Shui Anluo spoke nonchalantly about it.

Chu Ningyi frowned, what on earth had she gone through during the year of their divorce, the year that she was pregnant with their child?
