Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback

Chapter 959: I Only Need Ten Minutes

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The drama of Zhou Cui’an’s attempted suicide by jumping off the building came to an abrupt end, leaving her with nothing but a bruised ego.

The school had been displeased with Zhou Cui’an ever since the rumors spread on the forum. Despite receiving a demerit, there was little more to be done. If Zhou Cui’an had just kept her head down, she could have completed her four years of university in peace. But fate had other plans, leading her to stage this dramatic suicide attempt.

The school couldn’t afford to take such incidents lightly. Allowing such behavior to go unpunished would set a dangerous precedent. Thus, while they didn’t explicitly demand Zhou Cui’an’s expulsion, they decided to suspend her temporarily.

Although termed temporary, the duration of her suspension remained uncertain. So, in essence, it was almost as good as expulsion.

But amidst the aftermath, discussions about Zhou Cui’an’s suicide were overshadowed by curiosity about Ye Leng’an’s fiancé.

Though few witnessed the event on the rooftop, they all heard Ye Leng’an mention her fiancé’s name – Huangfu Ruiling.

There were no secrets in this world, especially not when spoken in public. Despite Huangfu Ruiling’s unfamiliarity, Zhou Cui’an’s previous brashness had elevated the prestige of the surname Huangfu. Learning that Ye Leng’an’s fiancé hailed from the prominent Huangfu family came as a surprise.

Unlike ordinary students, the school’s higher-ups and upper-class circles understood the significance of the name Huangfu Ruiling. What astonished them more was that Huangfu Ruiling’s fiancée was a student at Capital University, and she had kept it so discreet.

If Ye Leng’an hadn’t confessed, no one would have believed that Huangfu Ruiling’s betrothed was just an ordinary university student.

Of course, no one doubted Ye Leng’an’s words. No one could simply claim association with the Huangfu family without repercussions.

Yet, amidst the school’s gossip, Ye Leng’an had retreated home on leave. Though she hadn’t ventured into the Hidden World yet, her vacation provided respite from the schoolyard chatter. Even if she cared little for the rumors, she preferred to avoid the center of controversy.

Before, she didn’t want to keep listening to Zhou Cui’an’s slander against Huangfu Ruiling. Plus, after this incident, there would be even more speculation about her fiancé within the school. To nip any potential issues in the bud, she decided to reveal Huangfu Ruiling’s name. She could imagine how intense the discussions about her were in school now.

Huangfu Ruiling tended to business at the Huangye Group, while Ye Leng’an immersed herself in alchemy at the villa. With insights to pursue, she dedicated herself to contemplation.

When Huangfu Ruiling failed to return for lunch, Ye Leng’an abandoned her fruitless alchemy session and decided to seek him out.

Instructing Sister Li not to bother preparing lunch, Ye Leng’an set out. Little did she expect her departure from the villa would be halted by an unexpected encounter.

As a figure blocked her path, Ye Leng’an remained composed, promptly applying the brakes. The sudden stop startled the figure, causing him to stumble and fall.

Two women rushed to his aid, leaving Ye Leng’an to recognize one of them as Zhou Cui’an.

Though puzzled how Zhou Cui’an found her address, Ye Leng’an was even more surprised by her audacity in seeking her out now. Did she appear so easy to intimidate?

Ye Leng’an calmly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car, approaching the fallen figure. With a measured tone, she asked, “Are you alright?”

“Ye Leng’an, what kind of driving was that?” Zhou Cui’an couldn’t help but rebuke. “Do you realize you almost hit my father just now?”

Accompanying Zhou Cui’an were her parents, who had journeyed from their hometown to plead on her behalf. Despite their efforts, the school remained resolute, even threatening expulsion if Zhou Cui’an persisted.

Frustrated, they sought Ye Leng’an’s intervention, hoping her influence could sway the school’s decision. Moreover, Zhou Cui’an had a crucial matter only Ye Leng’an could assist with.

After much effort, they finally uncovered Ye Leng’an’s address.

Before coming here, she had mentally prepared herself to remain calm and polite, no matter how much Ye Leng’an tried to provoke her. She had resolved not to retaliate or argue back. However, when she saw Ye Leng’an almost hitting her father and recalled all the derogatory remarks Ye Leng’an had made in the past, she couldn’t control her emotions.

“Zhou Cui’an, let me clarify something,” Ye Leng’an retorted coldly. “Considering you rushed out suddenly, managing to avoid hitting anyone is already commendable.”

Zhou Cui’an found herself momentarily speechless.

Glancing at the three people before her, Ye Leng’an turned to leave.

“Wait!” Seeing Ye Leng’an about to depart, Zhou Cui’an hurriedly stepped forward, blocking her path. “I have something to discuss with you.”

“I have nothing to discuss with you.” Ye Leng’an’s expression remained unchanged. “I have other matters to attend to and no time for idle chatter.”

“Ye Leng’an, just a moment,” Zhou Cui’an pleaded. “I only need ten minutes.”
