Chapter 938: Blocking the Way

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Whose call was it?” Huangfu Ruiling felt somewhat puzzled as he watched Ye Leng’an hang up the phone without hesitation.

“It was Zhou Cui’an.” Ye Leng’an casually dropped her phone, her face devoid of any extra expression. “My slander case is about to go to trial. She’s probably feeling anxious.”

With Huangfu Shaohua now out of the picture, Zhou Cui’an had no one to rely on. She must be feeling frantic! Otherwise, she wouldn’t have called here. After all, Zhou Cui’an probably despised her to the core.

Huangfu Ruiling understood and suggested, “If you don’t want her bothering you, let Huangfu Shaohua handle it.”

“No need.” Ye Leng’an lightly shook her head. “It’s just a minor issue. Besides, it will be resolved soon enough.”

Hearing this, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t insist and simply nodded. “It’s up to you.”

“Oh, by the way.” As if recalling something, Ye Leng’an suddenly asked, “Does Huangfu Shaohua already know about my identity?”

“Probably!” Huangfu Ruiling replied nonchalantly. “He’s not foolish. He probably sensed something was amiss when we stopped him from meddling in this matter.”

Moreover, when they got engaged, although not all members of the Huangfu family attended, a simple inquiry would reveal that his fiancée was Ye Leng’an.

So, it wasn’t surprising if Huangfu Shaohua knew.

“In that case, he’s likely planning to completely abandon Zhou Cui’an.” Ye Leng’an concluded, nodding in understanding. “Zhou Cui’an is truly at her wit’s end this time. I wonder if Murong Yumeng, whom she has always idolized, will come to her aid.”

Huangfu Ruiling casually remarked, “Regardless of who intervenes, it won’t change the outcome.”

Ye Leng’an smiled and nodded in agreement.

While the atmosphere here was warm and sweet, Zhou Cui’an was in a state of agitation.

Unable to tolerate the whispers and stares at school, Zhou Cui’an hurried back to the hotel after leaving the premises.

Once at the hotel, she incessantly called Ye Leng’an. Unsure of what else to do, she repeatedly dialed, but after the initial call ended abruptly, she couldn’t reach Ye Leng’an again, even after changing numbers.

After numerous failed attempts, she finally despondently put down her phone.

However, she quickly lifted her head again.

Since Ye Leng’an wouldn’t answer her calls, she decided to confront her directly. She doubted Ye Leng’an would skip class.

She had no other options now. Only if Ye Leng’an withdrew the lawsuit would the school ease up on her.

Huangfu Shaohua and Murong Yumeng were no longer reliable. The only person who could resolve this was Ye Leng’an, the party involved.

Unaware of Zhou Cui’an’s thoughts, the next day Ye Leng’an went to school as usual.

Seeing Zhou Cui’an in the classroom wasn’t surprising. They shared the same major, so it was expected they’d attend the same class. However, Ye Leng’an paid her no attention. She didn’t even glance at her, simply found a seat and sat down.

Since Ye Leng’an had spotted Zhou Cui’an, the latter naturally saw her too.

One could say that the moment Ye Leng’an stepped into the classroom, Zhou Cui’an noticed her. However, because Ye Leng’an arrived punctually, the teacher followed soon after. So, even if Zhou Cui’an wanted to approach Ye Leng’an, she didn’t dare to act rashly, fearing not only disciplinary action but also a teacher’s reprimand.

Although Ye Leng’an was already well-versed in the material the teacher was covering, she listened attentively, out of respect.

Observing Ye Leng’an’s diligent demeanor, the teacher felt gratified. Though he didn’t comment, his satisfied gaze towards Ye Leng’an spoke volumes.

In contrast, Zhou Cui’an was absent-minded throughout the class. Her attention wasn’t on the teacher at the podium but entirely on Ye Leng’an.

Having failed to reach Ye Leng’an thus far, she couldn’t afford to miss this opportunity. Otherwise, who knew when she’d get another chance? So, all her focus was on Ye Leng’an, fearing she’d lose sight of her once she left.

Finally, when the teacher dismissed the class, Zhou Cui’an, seeing Ye Leng’an near the classroom door, panicked and shouted, “Ye Leng’an, wait!”

Ye Leng’an was about to leave when, at that moment, a loud voice rang out in the classroom. All eyes turned to Zhou Cui’an.

Ye Leng’an furrowed her brows, a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes, but she halted.

Quickly rushing to Ye Leng’an and blocking her path, Zhou Cui’an, panting, pleaded, “Ye Leng’an, don’t leave yet. I have something to tell you.”

“Oh, really?” Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow, her tone chilly. “I don’t think there’s anything left to say between us. So, please step aside! Don’t get in the way!”

Hearing that, Zhou Cui’an’s expression stiffened. Clenching her fists at her sides, she struggled to contain her anger, forcing a smile as she spoke, “Ye Leng’an, I really need to tell you something important. It won’t take much of your time. Just a few minutes, please.”

“Move aside.” Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a cold smile. “I don’t know what you plan to say, but I think we’ve made ourselves clear.”

“Ye Leng’an, please spare me!”

Seeing that Ye Leng’an had no intention of conversing and was about to leave, Zhou Cui’an panicked. She quickly pleaded, “Everything on the forum was my fault. I realize my mistake now. Please, give me a chance to change!”
