Chapter 363: Chapter 363: As Expected
Yun Mu nodded, “We really haven’t talked about it, and lately, Wang Shanshan has been trying to please Qianyi. Even if we accidentally let sothing slip and she overhears, she probably wouldn’t spread it.”
Yan Chuhua said, puzzled, “Then how did it get out? And how did soone fabricate those rumors about Qianyi and Ziyu?”
“Ziyu, didn’t you go to the intelligence departnt? You should know so hacking techniques, right? Why don’t you go and block those who are spreading rumors under that post?”
Xia Ziyu was slowly drinking soup and set down his bowl, “Hacking the Military Academy’s forum? You get caught, you get expelled.”
He actually quite liked this scandal.
Being called Qianyi’s “new love,” he was quite willing.
Yan Chuhua rolled her eyes, “I think you just don’t have the skills.”
Xia Ziyu was a Prince, who got into the Federation Military Academy through connections after all, hacking a forum was minor, the school wouldn’t dare expel him.
“Don’t mind it, deleting those comnts won’t stop people from talking. Let them say whatever they want,” Yan Qianyi didn’t care, “Once they get bored of discussing it, it will naturally stop.”
She never cared about rumors and gossip.
Let alone now, when she barely had the mind to worry about these things.
Yan Chuhua couldn’t understand, “I just find it strange, how could others know about you and Teacher Mu?”
Yun Mu glanced at Yan Qianyi and quickly said, “Alright, since Qianyi doesn’t care, let’s not talk about this anymore. By the way, have you talked to Mai Hunter about applying to participate in the Military Academy Friendship Competition?”
Xue Xiaoguang also looked forward with anticipation, “Yeah, it’s only because you weren’t here that Wang Shanshan took your place. Now that you’re back, she should be able to leave, right? Training with her every night is just annoying.”
Yan Chuhua shook her head, “No, you guys have already been training for a long ti, and the competition is about to start. We can’t change participants now.”
Actually, it was because her identity as the Princess of Moer Country had been revealed to the school administrators and teachers.
As the Princess of Moer Country, how could she represent the Federation Empire in the Friendship Competition?
Unless she was already married to Xia Ziyu.
Xue Xiaoguang sighed, “I am so annoyed by Wang Shanshan, not only does she try to ingratiate herself with Qianyi, she also acts coquettishly and pretentiously in front of Yun Mu every night, it makes my skin crawl.”
Hearing this, Yan Chuhua’s heart skipped a beat.
She couldn’t participate in the competition, indeed giving Wang Shanshan more opportunities to get close to Yun Mu.
Thinking about probing to see what Yun Mu’s current attitude towards Wang Shanshan was.
Unexpectedly, speak of the devil, and he shall appear, Wang Shanshan was walking towards them.
She approached Yan Qianyi and glanced at Yun Mu, “Qianyi, I have sothing I want to discuss with you alone.”
Yan Qianyi nodded and said to Yan Chuhua and the others, “I didn’t sleep well last night, so I’m going to head back to the dorm to catch up on so sleep and won’t go to the Martial Arts Arena.”
Last night, Mu Yunlie hadn’t co, and she had had trouble sleeping, making dicine for him until three o’clock in the morning.
After walking out of the cafeteria, Yan Qianyi stopped, turned around, and faced Wang Shanshan following behind her, “Speak, what is it?”
Since the last ti at the Mu Family’s birthday dinner when Wang Shanshan had helped her, her attitude towards Wang Shanshan had improved sowhat.
Wang Shanshan said, “Qianyi, I saw that post on the school forum and those rumors. There’s sothing I want to tell you, I don’t know if it can help you.”
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s about the guy who took your photos, I accidentally heard him and his friends say that it was Senior Sister Ning Nuan’s idea to have them take pictures of you. So, I started wondering, could those rumors have originated from Senior Sister Ning Nuan? After all, Teacher Mu and she were engaged since childhood, and that night at the Mu Family’s, you offended Mrs. Ning.”
Yan Qianyi narrowed her eyes in thought, then suddenly smiled, “I used to think you were quite foolish, but it turns out you’re rather clever.”
Indeed, given Ning Nuan’s relationship with the Nangong Family, she must have known early on about her breakup with Mu Yunlie.
Nangong Jie must have been eager to tell Ning Nuan.
Yan Qianyi was surprised that Wang Shanshan could suspect Ning Nuan from the idea of taking photos and began to see her in a new light.
Wang Shanshan smiled awkwardly.
She wasn’t really foolish.
It’s just that when she was against Yan Qianyi in the past, she always lost, which made her feel stupid.
Yan Qianyi said, “It’s not all just rumors, my breakup with Teacher Mu is indeed a fact. Now that I don’t have him as my backup, aren’t you afraid of offending the Ning Family by telling this?”
Wang Shanshan was stunned.
She hadn’t expected the breakup rumors to be true!
Seeing Wang Shanshan’s expression, Yan Qianyi added, “Don’t worry, I won’t share what you told today with anyone else. It won’t implicate you.”
“It’s fine,” Wang Shanshan hastened to say. “I sincerely want to be your friend, and I’m not afraid of offending the Ning Family. Plus, I want to thank you for helping that day at the Mu Family’s, now those ladies at social gatherings no longer dare to bully .”
Yan Qianyi slightly curved her lips, “You don’t need to make it sound so noble. That night when Madam Ning invited for a drink, you helped out too. We are even now. You want to be friends with , it’s because of Yun Mu, right?”
“Yes, I like Yun Mu, and if I could beco friends with you, I could get more opportunities to interact with him.”
That’s right, she wanted to be friends with Yan Qianyi, not just because she valued Yan Qianyi’s current strength, but also because of Yun Mu.
And Yan Qianyi liked straightforward people; since she had seen through Wang Shanshan, it was better to openly speak up.
Hiding it any further might make Yan Qianyi dislike her even more.
Yan Qianyi was slightly surprised that Wang Shanshan would admit it.
“Since you’ve honestly admitted it, I’ll be forthright too—I won’t help you with Yun Mu. If you like him, you should pursue him with your own abilities; I won’t obstruct you.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Shanshan breathed a sigh of relief.
As Yun Mu and Yan Qianyi were close, she was worried that Yan Qianyi might badmouth her to him.
Yan Qianyi continued, “I appreciate you telling all this, but there’s sothing I need to make clear. As the saying goes, ‘We do not plan together if our principles do not align’; we truly aren’t suited to be friends. Our previous conflicts are now resolved, and I won’t trouble you further. There’s no need for you to please anymore; a regular classmates’ friendship will suffice.”
Wang Shanshan wanted to be her friend solely because she saw potential benefits in doing so.
Such a friend was not needed by Yan Qianyi.
But having heard what Wang Shanshan said today, she needed to reassess Ning Nuan.
Previously, Teacher Mai Hunter and a senior from Ning Nuan’s class had warned her that Ning Nuan was not as innocent and harmless as she appeared.
Indeed, they were right.
