Chapter 919: Late or Not?
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In a private room of a high-class restaurant in the capital, Murong Yung, dressed in the current season’s high-end casual wear, exuded an air of ease and relaxation, as if she were simply enjoying a al.
On the other hand, Zhou Cui’an, seated beside her, though also attired in high-class clothing, appeared sowhat agitated. Apart from her infrequent visits to such upscale eateries, there was another crucial reason for her unease: her purpose in coming today.
Despite ntally preparing herself to confess and apologize to Ye Leng’an upon arrival, she found it difficult to stomach the sight of her smug deanor. Moreover, while she had indeed posted casually on the forum, it was all truthful content. She simply hadn’t managed to gather concrete evidence.
However, the re thought of apologizing to Ye Leng’an solely, because she spoke the truth on the forum, left her feeling deeply uncomfortable. Were it not for her fear of Huangfu Shaohua discovering the matter, she would never have considered apologizing to Ye Leng’an.
Though Murong Yung remained seated, she discreetly observed Zhou Cui’an’s deanor, accurately gauging her current mood. After all, Zhou Cui’an was just a university student, inexperienced in concealing her emotions. Whether due to her lack of guard against Murong Yung or for so other reason, she made no effort to disguise her feelings in her presence.
Zhou Cui’an’s evident displeasure indicated her unwillingness to apologize to Ye Leng’an. This suited Murong Yung fine, as she hadn’t co with the intention of reconciliation from the start.
As the appointed ti approached, Ye Leng’an had yet to arrive, exacerbating Zhou Cui’an’s irritation.
“Senior Sister, do you think Ye Leng’an is toying with us?” Zhou Cui’an couldn’t help but voice her frustration. “Look, it’s already seven o’clock. She still hasn’t shown up!”
“There’s no need to be so anxious!” Murong Yung reassured her, setting down her water glass. “It’s only six fifty now. We haven’t even reached our agreed eting ti yet!”
“But does Ye Leng’an really need the exact ti to appear?” Zhou Cui’an’s tone dripped with dissatisfaction. “Who does she think she is? What gives her the right to make us wait like this?”
In Zhou Cui’an’s eyes, Murong Yung was the legitimate heir of the Murong family, and she herself was Huangfu Shaohua’s girlfriend, soon to be a part of the Huangfu family. Even if Ye Leng’an had a wealthy benefactor, he was just a nouveau riche. What gave her the right to keep them waiting?
Especially considering tonight’s dinner was arranged by Senior Sister Murong. Was Ye Leng’an looking down on the Murong family? She was being too arrogant.
“It’s just a minor issue.” Murong Yung remained unfazed. “Besides, she isn’t late!”
Seeing Murong Yung’s indifferent attitude, Zhou Cui’an couldn’t vent her frustration towards Ye Leng’an. Nevertheless, she had already attributed all her grievances to Ye Leng’an.
Finally, at exactly seven o’clock, the door to the private room swung open, and Ye Leng’an entered.
Though she was aware that Murong Yung wouldn’t invite her to dinner so casually, seeing Zhou Cui’an in the room still montarily surprised her.
“Oh, our busy bee has finally graced us with her presence!” Zhou Cui’an’s tone dripped with sarcasm. “We’ve been waiting for you for so long just to treat you to a al!”
“I recall us agreeing to et at seven o’clock!” Ye Leng’an raised her hand to check her watch. Then, with a faint smile, she said, “Could it be that I misrembered?”
“Hmph, we agreed on seven o’clock, and you’re here just in ti to check the ti!” Zhou Cui’an huffed. “Do you have any idea how long we’ve been waiting for you?! Did you not think to co earlier? You have no manners at all.”
“Manners?” Ye Leng’an’s sharp gaze locked onto Zhou Cui’an. “Are you lecturing on manners? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to speak to like this? Do you truly believe that because you’ve hooked up with Huangfu Shaohua, you’re already part of the Huangfu family?”
Zhou Cui’an was indeed the epito of a villain! While she had been sowhat vain before, she hadn’t been as arrogant as she was now. It was likely due to having Huangfu Shaohua as a backer that she had beco so haughty!
“Ye Leng’an, you…” Zhou Cui’an seethed.
“Alright, enough.” Murong Yung rose to defuse the tension. “I’m the one treating tonight, so let’s maintain so decorum. Let’s not argue over such a trivial matter.”
“Senior Sister Murong, do you also think it’s my fault?” Ye Leng’an turned to Murong Yung, questioning her directly. “You said we were eting at seven, and I arrived at seven. I wasn’t late, was I? As the host, you should have arrived early. But as a guest, isn’t it enough that I’m not late? Do you agree?”
Since Murong Yung aid to diate, she might as well confront the issue head-on. She wanted to see if Murong Yung could provide a satisfactory answer.
Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s challenge, Murong Yung faltered, her smile stiffening.
“What? Even soone as well-bred as you from the Murong family can’t respond?” Ye Leng’an quipped with a faint smile. “Or is your family’s upbringing different from others’?”
“How could that be!” Murong Yung forced a smile. “Junior Sister Zhou was just too impatient. Leng’an, since you’re not late, there’s naturally no issue with your upbringing.”
Despite her smile, the clenched fists and the flicker of fire in her eyes revealed her inner turmoil.
Zhou Cui’an’s dissatisfaction with Ye Leng’an had nearly reached its peak. She slamd the table and began to rise. “Ye Leng’an, let tell you, don’t push it too far. Otherwise, I…”
“What will you do?” Ye Leng’an interrupted with a smile. “If you don’t welco , I’ll leave now.”
