Chapter 934: Don’t Know What to Do

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Murong Yumeng was taken aback by Zhou Cui’an’s intense reaction. Once she regained her composure, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she made an effort to rein in her emotions. “Junior Sister Zhou, what’s the matter? You don’t seem well.”

Zhou Cui’an, oblivious to Murong Yumeng’s displeasure, was consumed with anxiety over Huangfu Shaohua’s unresponsiveness. She reached out and grabbed Murong Yumeng’s hand. “Can you reach Shaohua?”

Ignoring Zhou Cui’an’s words, Murong Yumeng felt the pain in her wrist from being grabbed and quickly pulled away. Annoyance creased her face. “What are you doing?”

Though not a favorite in her family, Murong Yumeng was still a prominent figure as a direct descendant of the Murong family. Her father was the family head, and within the family, she commanded respect. But to be treated so rudely!

Zhou Cui’an, alarmed by Murong Yumeng’s change in demeanor, hastily apologized. “I’m sorry. It was unintentional.”

As she spoke, Zhou Cui’an noticed the bruise on Murong Yumeng’s wrist where she had gripped her. Her breath caught, and she timidly met Murong Yumeng’s cold gaze.

The change in Murong Yumeng sent shivers down Zhou Cui’an’s spine, filled with regret for her momentary loss of control and the resulting actions. Simultaneously, she worried whether she had alienated Murong Yumeng by inadvertently hurting her.

Now completely unable to contact Huangfu Shaohua, Zhou Cui’an was at a loss. She didn’t understand what was happening. But one thing was clear. The only person who could help her now was Murong Yumeng. Yet, she had unintentionally caused Murong Yumeng harm.

Murong Yumeng suppressed her inner impatience, furrowing her brow as she spoke, “Junior Sister Zhou, what is the matter that brings you to me today? I have many tasks to attend to, and I’m truly pressed for time.”

Although Zhou Cui’an might still have some utility at present, she couldn’t accept the fact that Zhou Cui’an had hurt her. Whether intentional or not, the fact remained that she was injured.

Zhou Cui’an was utterly ungrateful. Regardless of her intentions, she had helped Zhou Cui’an multiple times. Yet now, Zhou Cui’an treated her like this.

Unaware of Murong Yumeng’s growing impatience, Zhou Cui’an hurried to explain. “Senior Sister, it was an accident. I’m just anxious. Do you know what’s wrong with Shaohua? He hasn’t contacted me for so long, and I can’t reach him.”

Zhou Cui’an was oblivious to Murong Yumeng’s annoyance, attributing it to her unintentional injury. Desperate for Murong Yumeng’s help, she continued pleading with her.

Murong Yumeng frowned. “In a relationship, both parties need space. And, remember that you’re dating Huangfu Shaohua, a member of the Huangfu family. He can’t always be available.”

Having previously advised Zhou Cui’an on this matter, Murong Yumeng had hoped for more maturity from her. But evidently, Zhou Cui’an remained unreasonable.

If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before Shaohua got tired of such a woman!

“No, that’s not it,” Zhou Cui’an insisted. “I have something urgent to discuss with Shaohua.”

“Be reasonable!” Murong Yumeng’s disdain was evident. “You’ve caused Shaohua a lot of trouble lately. If this continues, your relationship won’t last.”

Alarmed by Murong Yumeng’s warning, Zhou Cui’an panicked. Suppressing her anxiety, she explained, “Senior Sister, it’s because of the recent incident. The court called me today to appear for a trial.”

Her voice trembling, Zhou Cui’an continued, “I don’t know what’s going on. I just need to speak to Shaohua to see if there’s a misunderstanding.”

“What?” Murong Yumeng’s surprise was palpable. “Are you sure? Did the court really summon you?”

That couldn’t be! Such a trivial matter should have been easily resolved by Huangfu Shaohua. And Murong Yumeng had probed him before, finding nothing amiss. This issue should have been resolved by now!

“It’s true,” Zhou Cui’an affirmed, her voice filled with confusion. “I don’t understand it either, but the court is proceeding with the trial. If I can’t find Shaohua, I don’t know what to do.”

Without Huangfu Shaohua, Zhou Cui’an stood to lose the lawsuit. She would have to publicly apologize to Ye Leng’an, and the school wouldn’t overlook the matter either. She’d surely face severe consequences.

But what worried her most was the perception of others. With the entire school knowing she was dating Huangfu Shaohua, losing the lawsuit would imply she held no significance to him. How could she face the others then?

This realization sent Zhou Cui’an into a panic.

Hearing Zhou Cui’an’s plight, Murong Yumeng’s confusion deepened. She halted Zhou Cui’an and said, “Wait, let me try contacting Shaohua to clear up this misunderstanding.”

Even Murong Yumeng couldn’t remain calm.
