Chapter 901: Confirming Her Speculation

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Senior Sister Murong, I really didn’t deceive you,” Zhou Cui’an spoke with a stern voice. “Ye Leng’an is truly not a good person. I understand that you might find it hard to believe for now, but I still hope you can remain vigilant and not fall victim to her schemes.”

Murong Yumeng appeared somewhat helpless but nodded nonetheless. “Alright, I understand. You don’t need to worry too much. I believe Leng’an isn’t that kind of person.”

Seeing Murong Yumeng’s firm stance, Zhou Cui’an didn’t press further. She knew Murong Yumeng didn’t believe her words at the moment.

Nevertheless, she silently resolved to find a way to reveal Ye Leng’an’s true nature to Senior Sister Murong.

“Oh, by the way!” As if remembering something, Murong Yumeng took out a piece of paper from her bag and handed it to Zhou Cui’an. “Junior Sister Zhou, this is for you.”

Perplexed, Zhou Cui’an accepted the note and unfolded it. Her expression froze. “This is…”

“It’s the IOU from before. I’m returning it to you now.” Murong Yumeng smiled. “During a conversation with Shaohua earlier, I accidentally mentioned that you borrowed money from me. Upon hearing this, Shaohua immediately repaid the debt. The money’s all settled now, so I’m returning the IOU to you.”

Zhou Cui’an’s face paled at Murong Yumeng’s words. Her lips trembled. “Did Shaohua… say anything?”

She didn’t want Huangfu Shaohua to know about this. It would only bring her embarrassment. Yet, she couldn’t blame Murong Yumeng. She knew it wasn’t intentional. Moreover, Murong Yumeng had helped her a lot before, so she couldn’t blame her.

“You’ve misunderstood.” Murong Yumeng smiled and shook her head, “What happened at the mall concerned your privacy. I wouldn’t casually disclose it to anyone. I simply mentioned that your family was facing difficulties, hence the need for borrowing money.”

Relieved upon hearing Murong Yumeng’s explanation, Zhou Cui’an gratefully looked at her. “Senior Sister, you’re really kind.”

She knew Murong Yumeng wasn’t one to disregard the gravity of a situation.

“Junior Sister Zhou, Shaohua really likes you. Without asking any questions, he immediately repaid the debt,” Murong Yumeng said with a smile. “He said he didn’t want you to owe anyone. If you had to owe someone, it should be him.”

Hearing this, Zhou Cui’an couldn’t help but smile sweetly.

The two continued chatting.

Suddenly, Zhou Cui’an asked, “By the way, do you know what kind of person Ye Leng’an’s fiancé is?”

Murong Yumeng’s eyes flashed with uncertainty. She raised her head with a puzzled expression. “What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about Leng’an’s fiancé? Has something happened?”

“No, I’m just curious.” Zhou Cui’an smiled discreetly. “Senior Sister Murong, have you met Ye Leng’an’s fiancé?”

“I’m not entirely sure.” Murong Yumeng smiled. “I’ve only heard a bit, but I’m not sure about the specifics. However, Leng’an’s fiancé treats her very well and has spent a lot on her.”

Zhou Cui’an continued asking, “Is Ye Leng’an’s fiancé quite old?”

Murong Yumeng hesitated momentarily, her smile seeming forced. “Why would you think that? Although I haven’t seen him, I don’t think Leng’an is that kind of person.”

Observing Murong Yumeng’s reaction, Zhou Cui’an knew her speculation was correct.

However, she didn’t show it. Instead, she replied with a smile, “It’s nothing, just curious. Since you haven’t met him, let’s forget about it.”

She believed Murong Yumeng must have met Ye Leng’an’s fiancé, but she refused to tell to protect Ye Leng’an’s dignity.

Since Murong Yumeng had decided to conceal it, further inquiry would be futile. However, her suspicions were confirmed. Ye Leng’an was seeking a wealthy partner.

Zhou Cui’an believed that Ye Leng’an was just a gold digger. What right did Ye Leng’an have to flaunt in front of her? Zhou Cui’an vowed to expose Ye Leng’an’s facade and reveal her true nature as a hypocrite selling herself for a lavish lifestyle.

Lost in thought, Zhou Cui’an didn’t notice Murong Yumeng’s overly bright smile.

Meanwhile, after leaving the dormitory, Ye Leng’an drove back to the villa, intending to return after class the next day.

She had gone early today just to tidy up. If she couldn’t return by noon, at least she’d have a place to rest.

Upon returning to the villa, she found Huangfu Ruiling in the living room with documents in hand, seemingly working.

“Why are you here?” Ye Leng’an was surprised. “Aren’t you supposed to be at the company? Why work here?”

“I’m waiting for you!” Huangfu Ruiling put down the documents, smiling. “Tonight, let’s go back to the ancestral mansion together!”

“Huh?” Ye Leng’an sat beside Huangfu Ruiling, blinking in confusion. “Did something happen?”

“I don’t know.” Huangfu Ruiling shrugged casually. “But it’s probably related to Huangfu Ruixiang.”

“Hasn’t he decided not to divorce?” Ye Leng’an shook her head. “What’s going on now?”

“Huangfu Ruixiang called personally, saying it’s important, and begged me to come,” Huangfu Ruiling said casually. “So, I agreed.”

Ye Leng’an shrugged, unperturbed. “Alright, we’ll go later! Let’s see what’s so important that he’s resorting to begging.”

Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow, dropping the subject. Instead, he asked, “How was your visit to the dormitory today?”

“Everything’s fine.”

Suddenly recalling something, Ye Leng’an asked, “By the way, does the Huangfu family have a branch member named Huangfu Shaohua?”
