Chapter 934: Don’t Know What to Do
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Murong Yung was taken aback by Zhou Cui’an’s intense reaction. Once she regained her composure, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes, but she made an effort to rein in her emotions. “Junior Sister Zhou, what’s the matter? You don’t seem well.”
Zhou Cui’an, oblivious to Murong Yung’s displeasure, was consud with anxiety over Huangfu Shaohua’s unresponsiveness. She reached out and grabbed Murong Yung’s hand. “Can you reach Shaohua?”
Ignoring Zhou Cui’an’s words, Murong Yung felt the pain in her wrist from being grabbed and quickly pulled away. Annoyance creased her face. “What are you doing?”
Though not a favorite in her family, Murong Yung was still a prominent figure as a direct descendant of the Murong family. Her father was the family head, and within the family, she commanded respect. But to be treated so rudely!
Zhou Cui’an, alard by Murong Yung’s change in deanor, hastily apologized. “I’m sorry. It was unintentional.”
As she spoke, Zhou Cui’an noticed the bruise on Murong Yung’s wrist where she had gripped her. Her breath caught, and she timidly t Murong Yung’s cold gaze.
The change in Murong Yung sent shivers down Zhou Cui’an’s spine, filled with regret for her montary loss of control and the resulting actions. Simultaneously, she worried whether she had alienated Murong Yung by inadvertently hurting her.
Now completely unable to contact Huangfu Shaohua, Zhou Cui’an was at a loss. She didn’t understand what was happening. But one thing was clear. The only person who could help her now was Murong Yung. Yet, she had unintentionally caused Murong Yung harm.
Murong Yung suppressed her inner impatience, furrowing her brow as she spoke, “Junior Sister Zhou, what is the matter that brings you to today? I have many tasks to attend to, and I’m truly pressed for ti.”
Although Zhou Cui’an might still have so utility at present, she couldn’t accept the fact that Zhou Cui’an had hurt her. Whether intentional or not, the fact remained that she was injured.
Zhou Cui’an was utterly ungrateful. Regardless of her intentions, she had helped Zhou Cui’an multiple tis. Yet now, Zhou Cui’an treated her like this.
Unaware of Murong Yung’s growing impatience, Zhou Cui’an hurried to explain. “Senior Sister, it was an accident. I’m just anxious. Do you know what’s wrong with Shaohua? He hasn’t contacted for so long, and I can’t reach him.”
Zhou Cui’an was oblivious to Murong Yung’s annoyance, attributing it to her unintentional injury. Desperate for Murong Yung’s help, she continued pleading with her.
Murong Yung frowned. “In a relationship, both parties need space. And, rember that you’re dating Huangfu Shaohua, a mber of the Huangfu family. He can’t always be available.”
Having previously advised Zhou Cui’an on this matter, Murong Yung had hoped for more maturity from her. But evidently, Zhou Cui’an remained unreasonable.
If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before Shaohua got tired of such a woman!
“No, that’s not it,” Zhou Cui’an insisted. “I have sothing urgent to discuss with Shaohua.”
“Be reasonable!” Murong Yung’s disdain was evident. “You’ve caused Shaohua a lot of trouble lately. If this continues, your relationship won’t last.”
Alard by Murong Yung’s warning, Zhou Cui’an panicked. Suppressing her anxiety, she explained, “Senior Sister, it’s because of the recent incident. The court called today to appear for a trial.”
Her voice trembling, Zhou Cui’an continued, “I don’t know what’s going on. I just need to speak to Shaohua to see if there’s a misunderstanding.”
“What?” Murong Yung’s surprise was palpable. “Are you sure? Did the court really summon you?”
That couldn’t be! Such a trivial matter should have been easily resolved by Huangfu Shaohua. And Murong Yung had probed him before, finding nothing amiss. This issue should have been resolved by now!
“It’s true,” Zhou Cui’an affird, her voice filled with confusion. “I don’t understand it either, but the court is proceeding with the trial. If I can’t find Shaohua, I don’t know what to do.”
Without Huangfu Shaohua, Zhou Cui’an stood to lose the lawsuit. She would have to publicly apologize to Ye Leng’an, and the school wouldn’t overlook the matter either. She’d surely face severe consequences.
But what worried her most was the perception of others. With the entire school knowing she was dating Huangfu Shaohua, losing the lawsuit would imply she held no significance to him. How could she face the others then?
This realization sent Zhou Cui’an into a panic.
Hearing Zhou Cui’an’s plight, Murong Yung’s confusion deepened. She halted Zhou Cui’an and said, “Wait, let try contacting Shaohua to clear up this misunderstanding.”
Even Murong Yung couldn’t remain calm.
