Chapter 1024: What’s Your Game?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Leng’an listened to Zhu Bixuan’s update with raised eyebrows but didn’t comment.
She wasn’t particularly surprised by Zhou Cui’an’s decision. With all the money she got from Huangfu Shaohua, leaving Capital University probably seemed like an easy choice for her.
But Ye Leng’an didn’t dwell on it. She had her own matters to attend to, including some unfinished business.
After spending the whole afternoon in the dorm, Ye Leng’an headed to her class.
Once class was over, she made her way towards the Student Council. As she approached the building near the office, she spotted Murong Yumeng stepping out.
When Ye Leng’an spotted Murong Yumeng, Murong Yumeng naturally saw her too. Feeling a bit flustered, Murong Yumeng didn’t approach her like she used to.
Ever since discovering that the man she’d taken a liking to was actually the head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Ruiling, Murong Yumeng’s feelings were mixed. It wasn’t just about having good taste anymore; there was a tinge of fear.
Sure, she still liked Huangfu Ruiling. But if she had known that Ye Leng’an’s fiancé was Huangfu Ruiling, she wouldn’t have gone about things the same way.
At first, she thought Ye Leng’an was just a regular girl, which was why she’d encouraged Zhou Cui’an to confront her. But now, she was worried that Ye Leng’an might uncover her involvement.
Now, she couldn’t even face Huangfu Ruiling directly, and Ye Leng’an was his fiancée. If her actions were exposed, her father wouldn’t let her off the hook.
During Ye Leng’an’s absence, Murong Yumeng enjoyed the school without worrying about running into her.
But now, seeing Ye Leng’an walking towards her, Murong Yumeng felt uneasy. She didn’t want to interact with Ye Leng’an, but ignoring her now seemed impossible.
Murong Yumeng greeted Ye Leng’an, “Hey, didn’t expect to see you here, Leng’an.”
“I’m a student. Shouldn’t I be here?” Ye Leng’an responded with a question. ” Or do you think I should stay home and cry?”
“Come on, you must be joking.” Murong Yumeng chuckled nervously. “Well, I won’t keep you then. Got stuff to do.” Murong Yumeng tried to excuse herself, her tone betraying her unease.
She didn’t feel confident facing Ye Leng’an, not wanting to slip up in front of her. She just wanted to leave. But as she tried to go, Ye Leng’an stepped in her way, a smile on her face.
“Senior Sister, remember when you were all chummy with me? What happened to that?”
Murong Yumeng’s smile tightened. “I really gotta go. We’ll talk later if you need anything.”
“But I’ve got something to say now. What do I do?” Ye Leng’an grinned at Murong Yumeng. “But if you’re busy, I won’t keep you.”
As Murong Yumeng tried to relax, Ye Leng’an’s next words sent a chill down her spine.
“If you’re tied up, maybe Master Murong’s got time.” Ye Leng’an’s tone was light, but the implications were heavy. “I bet he’d love to hear about your little schemes.”
“What are you implying?” Murong Yumeng’s voice wavered, guilt creeping in. “Cut it out, or there’ll be trouble.”
“Don’t get worked up, Senior Sister.” Ye Leng’an’s calm contrasted with Murong Yumeng’s agitation. “You’re not the sweet Murong Yumeng everyone thinks you are. If they knew what you’re really like, they’d be shocked.”
Murong Yumeng seethed with anger. “What do you want to do?” She didn’t know if Ye Leng’an was onto her, but she couldn’t afford to walk away, not with Ye Leng’an’s connections.
“What do I want to do? Maybe I should be asking you that.” Ye Leng’an smirked. “Murong Yumeng, when you pushed Zhou Cui’an to mess with me, I wanted to know why.”
“What are you talking about? I have no clue what you’re saying.” Murong Yumeng’s heart sank, but she kept her expression neutral. “Sure, I helped Zhou Cui’an out a few times, but that was just out of sympathy. Any beef between you two is your own business. Don’t drag me into it.”
“Murong Yumeng, you know exactly what you did,” Ye Leng’an’s smile turned icy. “If you hadn’t egged her on, Zhou Cui’an wouldn’t have caused so much trouble.”
Sure, Zhou Cui’an was vain and had her issues, but there were plenty like her out there. If Murong Yumeng hadn’t used Zhou Cui’an against her, none of this would have happened.
Of course, that doesn’t mean she was excusing Zhou Cui’an’s behavior. Zhou Cui’an made her own choices, driven by jealousy.
But as the one who set this all in motion, she was not letting Murong Yumeng off the hook.
“I didn’t do anything,” Murong Yumeng’s gaze met Ye Leng’an’s, her tone firm. “Ye Leng’an, I don’t know where you’re getting this from. But if you’re here to lecture me, I’ve got better things to do. Move aside, please. I’m busy.”
