Chapter 917: Taking the Initiative

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After hearing Murong Yumeng’s words, Zhou Cui’an felt no joy. She hadn’t asked Murong Yumeng to meet up to seek her help in keeping a secret. If that were the case, wouldn’t it have been better not to tell Murong Yumeng in the first place?

Murong Yumeng naturally sensed Zhou Cui’an’s unease, but she didn’t ask further. She was already weary of cleaning up Zhou Cui’an’s messes. If it weren’t for the plan to deal with Ye Leng’an, she wouldn’t have tolerated such a person by her side!

Zhou Cui’an was restless. Eventually, she gritted her teeth and spoke, “Senior Sister, Ye Leng’an won’t let this forum matter go. She…she intends to report it to the police.”

Suddenly hearing this, Murong Yumeng choked on her coffee and began coughing uncontrollably.

After a while, she managed to stop coughing and looked at Zhou Cui’an with a hint of suspicion. “Junior Sister Zhou, what did you just say? I didn’t catch it clearly. Can you repeat?”

She felt like she misheard. Did she really hear that Ye Leng’an planned to report this to the police?

“Senior Sister, what should I do?” Zhou Cui’an sounded anxious. “Just now, Ye Leng’an said in the dorm that she’s going to call the police about the forum post.”

Zhou Cui’an’s tone even carried a hint of tearfulness. “If the police find out, what am I going to do?”

She wasn’t naïve. She knew her actions were likely on the edge of legality. But she never imagined Ye Leng’an would call the police. She just wanted to expose Ye Leng’an’s true nature.

And she never expected the matter to blow up like this, with the post’s popularity soaring.

Now, thinking calmly, everything she heard was hearsay. She had no evidence. If the police intervened, she feared she wouldn’t get off easily.

“Ye Leng’an plans to call the police?” Murong Yumeng didn’t anticipate this. Her tone held doubt. “Is she serious, or just trying to scare you?”

Typically, such matters were resolved internally in school. In the many years of Capital University’s existence, there had never been police involvement due to a forum post. So, hearing this made her doubt its authenticity.

“It didn’t seem like Ye Leng’an was lying,” Zhou Cui’an said uneasily. “And she mentioned calling the police over similar matters before.”

Murong Yumeng sighed helplessly. “Ultimately, you were in the wrong. You shouldn’t have said such things on the forum.”

“Senior Sister, you said it!” Zhou Cui’an blurted out. “I heard from you that Ye Leng’an has been using her fiancé’s money, so I thought she was gold-digging! And it’s the truth, isn’t it?”

Murong Yumeng’s expression darkened. “I never said anything about Ye Leng’an being a gold-digger. You misunderstood.”

Zhou Cui’an was audacious, trying to shift blame onto her. How ungrateful! She had helped Zhou Cui’an countless times, yet now, Zhou Cui’an tried to pin everything on her.

Zhou Cui’an realized her mistake and hurriedly explained, “I didn’t mean that. I’m not blaming you. I just… I just…”

She was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain. She never meant to blame Murong Yumeng. She just wanted to speak the truth.

But, admittedly, she also hoped Murong Yumeng would help her. So, she never intended to push the blame onto her.

Murong Yumeng furrowed her brows. “What exactly do you mean?”

“Senior Sister Murong, this has nothing to do with you. It was my decision.” Zhou Cui’an composed herself. “I’m just overwhelmed right now, speaking without thinking. I didn’t mean it.”

Murong Yumeng’s expression softened. “Don’t worry too much. Even if Ye Leng’an calls the police, you just need to apologize.”

She didn’t entirely believe Zhou Cui’an’s excuses but didn’t plan to confront her for now.

“But, Ye Leng’an seemed serious.” Zhou Cui’an insisted, not wanting to escalate the situation. “If this gets out, how can I face everyone at school?”

Seeing Zhou Cui’an’s expression, Murong Yumeng’s patience waned. After a moment’s thought, she suggested, “Junior Sister Zhou, it’s better to apologize first than to wait for the police to intervene. This way, the matter won’t escalate, and it’ll be easier to resolve.”

Hearing this, Zhou Cui’an frowned. “So, you mean…”

“Why don’t you go and confess everything to Ye Leng’an?” Murong Yumeng cut to the chase. “Instead of waiting for trouble, take the initiative. Apologize sincerely and ask for her forgiveness. She probably won’t hold onto this matter. After all, you’re dorm mates. It’s best to resolve it amicably.”
