Chapter 921: His Plaything

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“What? You’ve already called the police?” Zhou Cui’an almost leaped out of her seat. “Ye Leng’an, you did this on purpose, didn’t you?”

She hadn’t expected Ye Leng’an to have already called the police. If that was the case, then what was the point of her groveling here to apologize?

“What do you mean by ‘on purpose’?” Ye Leng’an glanced at Zhou Cui’an, sneering. “Now that my reputation is tarnished, isn’t it normal to want to find the culprit? Do I need your consultation?”

“Since I’ve apologized to you, hurry up and withdraw the case from the police station!” Zhou Cui’an stated matter-of-factly. “This matter should be considered resolved.”

Now that the police were involved, the priority was getting Ye Leng’an to withdraw the case. As for the possibility of facing a court trial, she was merely contemplating. She doubted Ye Leng’an would take it that far.

“Zhou Cui’an, have you lost your mind?” Ye Leng’an remained unfazed by her authoritative tone. “What right do you have to command me?”

“You…” Zhou Cui’an’s face flushed with anger. “Ye Leng’an, don’t refuse the offer and regret it later. Let me remind you, if this blows up, everyone will know about your dirty deeds.”

“You don’t need to bother about this,” Ye Leng’an replied nonchalantly. “However, I suggest you find a good lawyer now!”

As Zhou Cui’an and Ye Leng’an exchanged barbs, Murong Yumeng watched with a subtle smile.

This was perfect. The bigger the spectacle, the better. She hadn’t intended to genuinely help Zhou Cui’an anyway, so their current predicament was ideal.

While Zhou Cui’an struggled to find words, Ye Leng’an remained lazily indifferent throughout. It was as if she didn’t care about the situation at all.

“Senior Sister Murong, aren’t you going to intervene?” Ye Leng’an turned to Murong Yumeng, her gaze penetrating. “Did you invite us out today just to watch us argue?”

Since Murong Yumeng wanted to appear benevolent, she couldn’t simply stay silent.

Murong Yumeng’s eyes contracted briefly at being addressed. She swiftly composed herself and offered a warm smile. “There’s no need for hostilities. We haven’t reached the worst stage yet. Let’s discuss this calmly. We’ll surely find the best solution.”

“I think the situation is fine as it is!” Ye Leng’an remarked indifferently. “Everyone must face the consequences of their actions. As I’ve said, the Internet is not above the law. If Zhou Cui’an dared to defame me on the forum, she must be prepared to face the consequences. People should own up to their mistakes, shouldn’t they?”

“Ye Leng’an, don’t sugarcoat it.” Before Murong Yumeng could respond, Zhou Cui’an interjected. “If you’re willing to own up, then I’ll simply expose all your dirty deeds. Your current anger is just because I’ve lifted your veil.”

“Believe what you will.” Ye Leng’an shrugged nonchalantly. “But I trust the law will vindicate me. However, your fate remains uncertain. I recall a school regulation explicitly stating that baseless defamation results in disciplinary action or expulsion.”

Zhou Cui’an’s eyes betrayed a hint of panic. “Ye Leng’an, don’t push it.” She warned, “Remember, my boyfriend is Huangfu Shaohua. If you insist on escalating this, I won’t let you off either.”

Even if it meant Huangfu Shaohua finding out, she couldn’t risk being accused of defaming Ye Leng’an. Who knew what punishment the school might mete out?

“Huangfu Shaohua?” Ye Leng’an’s tone turned scornful. “Senior Sister Murong, I’ve heard Zhou Cui’an got to know her boyfriend with your help!”

“Yes, indeed!” Although uncertain why Ye Leng’an brought this up, Murong Yumeng smiled as she replied, “But it’s not entirely my doing. Their relationship is a matter of fate.”

She couldn’t fathom Ye Leng’an’s intentions. Was she insinuating Zhou Cui’an’s mention of Huangfu Shaohua had prompted her to compromise? If so, shouldn’t Ye Leng’an have refrained from instigating from the outset?

After all, ever since Zhou Cui’an became Huangfu Shaohua’s girlfriend, she had been very ostentatious. It was safe to say almost everyone at Capital University knew about it.

“I see.” Ye Leng’an nodded before continuing, “So, Senior Sister Murong, you and Huangfu Shaohua are acquainted, aren’t you?”

Murong Yumeng couldn’t help but furrow her brows. She sensed Ye Leng’an had ulterior motives. Nonetheless, to avoid suspicion, she nodded. “Yes! I’ve known Shaohua for years. I’m glad Cui’an can be with him.”

“Are you really glad?” Ye Leng’an’s expression turned peculiar. “Will you truly be happy about this?”

“Ye Leng’an, what do you mean by that?” Zhou Cui’an retorted, unable to hold back. “Are you jealous that I have such a good boyfriend, resorting to snide remarks? Let me tell you, if you want to blow this up, I’ll see it through. Then, I’d like to see if you can stand against the Huangfu family.”

“Zhou Cui’an, you overestimate yourself.” Ye Leng’an’s sarcastic smile deepened. “At best, you’re just Huangfu Shaohua’s plaything. Do you really think the Huangfu family would lift a finger for you?”

“Ye Leng’an!” Zhou Cui’an exploded. “What nonsense are you spouting?” Don’t assume everyone is like you, fond of relying on the wealthy. Shaohua and I truly love each other. We’re getting married in the future.”
