Chapter 920: See You in Court

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Junior Sister Zhou, the bigger picture matters.” Murong Yumeng’s words and Ye Leng’an’s imminent departure softened Zhou Cui’an’s anger instantly. She remembered precisely why she had come here today.

Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow, opting not to continue the conversation, and simply found a seat to settle in. As for Zhou Cui’an, under Murong Yumeng’s gesture, she also quieted down, refraining from further speech.

Though the atmosphere in the private room grew somewhat silent, it was no longer fraught with tension as before. Soon, a waiter entered to serve the dishes, which were promptly arranged on the table.

Murong Yumeng and Zhou Cui’an exchanged a glance, neither speaking first. Meanwhile, Ye Leng’an, seeing the silence, opted to feign ignorance and focused solely on eating.

A flicker of disdain crossed Murong Yumeng’s eyes as she observed Ye Leng’an. Nevertheless, she broke the silence, “Junior Sister Ye, I invited you to dinner tonight to discuss some matters with you.”

With the matter at hand now laid bare, Ye Leng’an set down her chopsticks, wearing a lazy smile that failed to reach her eyes. “Senior Sister, if you have something to say, spit it out!”

Murong Yumeng glanced at Zhou Cui’an, urging her to speak up.

Zhou Cui’an lifted her head, intending to speak to Ye Leng’an. However, for some reason, upon seeing her expression, all the words she had prepared seemed to vanish.

Observing Zhou Cui’an’s hesitation, Murong Yumeng inwardly cursed her momentarily, before taking the initiative, “Junior Sister Ye, I’ve heard about the post concerning you on the forum. How do you plan to handle it?”

Upon hearing Murong Yumeng’s words, Ye Leng’an glanced meaningfully at Zhou Cui’an before smiling faintly, “Are you truly clueless? Isn’t Zhou Cui’an here as well? Why not ask her?”

Instantly, Murong Yumeng’s expression stiffened.

“Ye Leng’an, you’re going too far.” Seeing Murong Yumeng’s reaction, Zhou Cui’an felt a surge of anger. “Are you really planning to involve the police? Must you blow this matter out of proportion, letting everyone know?”

“Yes!” Ye Leng’an nodded earnestly. “Didn’t you already know? Furthermore, weren’t you emphatic before that this matter had nothing to do with you? If that’s the case, what are you so worried about?”

“You…” Zhou Cui’an was incensed, but remembering her own words, she found herself unable to retort.

“Um, Junior Sister Ye,” Murong Yumeng interjected with a troubled expression, “Do we truly need to escalate this matter? Why not minimize it? Besides, you haven’t suffered any real harm!”

“But I feel I’ve suffered significant emotional damage!” Ye Leng’an propped her chin on her hand. “So, I’m not inclined to trivialize it!”

“Um…” Murong Yumeng glanced at Zhou Cui’an with difficulty, then turned to Ye Leng’an again. “Why must you take it this far? You’re all classmates and will see each other again. Why make it so awkward?”

“Oh?” Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow with great interest. “So, Senior Sister knows who slandered me on the school forum?”

“Slander!” Before Murong Yumeng could speak, Zhou Cui’an couldn’t hold back. “Ye Leng’an, have some shame! Which post on the forum is false? You simply weren’t caught with evidence, yet you dare shamelessly utter these words here.”

“Whether it’s true or not is irrelevant to you.” Ye Leng’an remained unfazed. “As for whether that person will be held accountable in the end, that’s up to the police and the court. I believe the law is just and will certainly provide me with justice.”

At the mention of the police and the court by Ye Leng’an, Zhou Cui’an’s rationality returned momentarily. She looked at Murong Yumeng and opened her mouth, seemingly seeking assistance.

Murong Yumeng’s eyes darkened. She looked at Zhou Cui’an and spoke directly, “Junior Sister Zhou, didn’t you come here today to apologize to Leng’an?”

Zhou Cui’an was dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected Murong Yumeng to expose her so blatantly.

Though she had come to apologize, she wasn’t mentally prepared! However, she knew she couldn’t blame Murong Yumeng. After all, she was the one who had asked Murong Yumeng to come over to help her speak. That was why she had called her over.

“Apologize?” Ye Leng’an raised her head, her eyes teasing as she looked at Zhou Cui’an. “So, Zhou Cui’an, what did you do to disappoint me that you need to apologize?”

“I…” Zhou Cui’an’s expression was grim. However, she gritted her teeth and said, “Ye Leng’an, I was the one who wrote the post about you on the forum. I shouldn’t have posted such a thing. I’m here to apologize to you. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”

Though her words were an apology, she felt she had done nothing wrong. She was only willing to apologize now because she didn’t want to exacerbate the situation.

She was indeed at fault in this matter. However, her mistake wasn’t in posting the thread. She was at fault for not collecting evidence before posting. If she had posted the evidence along with her thread, Ye Leng’an wouldn’t have been able to threaten her with the police.

“Oh, so that’s the matter!” Ye Leng’an nodded casually, then continued, “I understand. So, what now?”

“What?” Ye Leng’an’s reaction was clearly beyond Zhou Cui’an’s expectations. She was exasperated. “Ye Leng’an, I’ve already apologized to you. What more do you want?”

She had already humbled herself and apologized, yet Ye Leng’an dared to push further. She was no longer the naive girl from a humble background. She was now Huangfu Shaohua’s girlfriend.

“I don’t want anything!” Ye Leng’an leaned back, spreading her hands. “I’ve already handed full authority over to the police to investigate this matter! However, since you’ve confessed, there’s no need to trouble the police. Let’s see each other in court!”
