Chapter 927: A Dismissive Attitude

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

On the other side, Zhou Cui’an, who impulsively left the dormitory, was feeling somewhat remorseful. Especially when she noticed the judgmental gazes and whispering gestures from passersby, she regretted her actions.

However, returning to the dormitory now would be too humiliating for her. Thus, she decided to book a room at a nearby hotel instead.

After securing a room, Zhou Cui’an headed to the mall to indulge in some shopping.

The recent events had piled up, causing her considerable stress. Hence, she found solace in the frenzy of shopping. This sensation was addictive. She had never felt so liberated, buying whatever she fancied without a glance at the price tag.

This was the life she had always yearned for. Regardless of anything, she was determined not to break up with Huangfu Shaohua.

As for the impending slander lawsuit threatened by Ye Leng’an, Zhou Cui’an cared little about it now. Despite feeling somewhat irritated by the gossip and the looming disciplinary action from the school, she entrusted the matter to Huangfu Shaohua with complete confidence.

In fact, she believed the issue might just fade away eventually. After all, no one dared to offend the Huangfu family willingly.

Meanwhile, as Zhou Cui’an indulged in her shopping spree, Huangfu Shaohua was enjoying a gathering with his friends, not giving a second thought to Zhou Cui’an, his so-called girlfriend.

Whatever Zhou Cui’an had done before didn’t bother him much. Their relationship was casual, with no intention of lasting forever, so he wasn’t concerned about her character. As long as he didn’t get tired of Zhou Cui’an, he saw no reason to refuse her when she sought his help.

She was still his companion for now, so he wouldn’t turn her away over trivial matters.

Once he had issued instructions, he dismissed the matter from his mind.

Elsewhere, a large group from the same social circle was gathering, with Murong Yumeng among them. However, Huangfu Shaohua hadn’t brought Zhou Cui’an along.

“How’s it going?” Murong Yumeng handed Huangfu Shaohua a glass of champagne, clinking it before taking a sip. She then smiled and asked, “Still heating things up with Zhou Cui’an?”

“What’s that? You keeping tabs on the women around me?” Huangfu Shaohua smirked, his ordinarily mundane visage now somewhat unpleasant. “Could it be you have feelings for me?”

His self-assured demeanor was discomforting.

But Murong Yumeng didn’t bat an eye. She smiled lightly and continued, “You’re overthinking it. You know well who I’ll marry in the future, don’t you?”

Being part of the same circle, Huangfu Shaohua naturally understood whom Murong Yumeng was referring to. He chuckled. “Isn’t it the haughty scion from the Zi family? But do you truly fancy such a dull man?”

He knew Murong Yumeng well. She wasn’t as soft as she appeared. If anyone thought she was kind and weak, they were mistaken.

She was a cunning seductress, her heart as venomous as a snake’s. Yet, she often masked her ruthlessness with a gentle façade.

However, many were deceived by her, including the scion from the Zi family, who was infatuated with her!

“This doesn’t concern you.” Murong Yumeng’s lips curved slightly. “But you, aren’t you tired of Zhou Cui’an yet?”

“After indulging in extravagance for so long, plain dishes seem appealing!” Huangfu Shaohua shrugged indifferently. “Besides, Zhou Cui’an is still tolerable for now, so she can stick around for a while.”

“Then you’re aware of the little predicament Zhou Cui’an has landed herself in, right?” Murong Yumeng took another sip of champagne. “Can you handle it?”

“Ridiculous!” Huangfu Shaohua laughed arrogantly. “It’s just a minor campus squabble, easily resolved. By the way, being from Capital University, you must know about it, right? Do you doubt my ability?”

“Hehe, I have full confidence in you.” Murong Yumeng shrugged and smiled. “Just that, the girl Zhou Cui’an offended, although insignificant, her fiancé seems formidable. Be cautious.”

Huangfu Shaohua wasn’t concerned. “We’ll see!”

Observing Huangfu Shaohua’s confident demeanor, Murong Yumeng’s lips curled into an imperceptible smile.

As the situation escalated, if Ye Leng’an failed to win the lawsuit or withdrew midway, all accusations against Zhou Cui’an would turn into a tempest, once again targeting Ye Leng’an. She would be at the heart of the storm.

By then, Ye Leng’an might not be able to remain at the school!

Once Ye Leng’an’s fiancé intervened, she was certain she would shift the spotlight onto herself. At that moment, she was eager to witness Ye Leng’an’s fate.

As the two conversed, Huangfu Shaohua’s phone suddenly rang.

He retrieved his phone, swiped to answer the call, and casually asked, “What’s up?”

Subsequently, the conversation at the other end seemed to sour his expression.

Finally, he instructed tersely, “If that’s the case, withdraw all personnel, and don’t involve yourself further. That’s it!”

With that, he hung up, his expression returning to normal as if nothing had occurred.

“What happened?” Murong Yumeng asked nonchalantly. “Did something occur?”

“Nothing,” Huangfu Shaohua replied casually. “Just a minor blunder by my subordinates. It’s settled now.”

Hearing his dismissive tone, Murong Yumeng realized he was brushing her off. Nevertheless, she didn’t press further.

Since Huangfu Shaohua chose not to elaborate, there was no point in pressing the matter. It would only provoke annoyance in others. Hence, at this moment, she could simply take his words at face value.
