Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback - Chapter 914
Chapter 914: Suspicion
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Leng’an’s demeanor cast a chill in the dormitory, instilling a sense of fear in the others.
Most people, faced with such a situation, would inevitably be furious, unable to contain their emotions. But Ye Leng’an seemed devoid of any signs of anger.
It was precisely this calm demeanor that made Ye Leng’an seem especially dangerous.
“Um… Leng’an, are you okay?” Zhu Bixuan glanced at Ye Leng’an, cautiously speaking, “If you’re upset, just let it out! Bottling it up isn’t good for your health.”
“Yeah!” Even Ling Weiwei, who typically paid little attention to Ye Leng’an, chimed in, “It’s all just nonsense. Don’t let it get to you. Those people are just bored, looking for attention on the forum.”
Seeing the nervous demeanor of the two, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but chuckle. “What are you both so worried about? I’m fine. None of this can harm me, not even my mood.”
“Really?” Zhu Bixuan seemed skeptical. “With all these rumors flying around, aren’t you bothered at all?”
“Why should I be bothered?” Ye Leng’an shrugged nonchalantly. “Besides, even if I were worried, it should be the mastermind behind this who’s concerned, not me, the victim.”
“What victim?” Zhou Cui’an sneered. “Ye Leng’an, you truly have no shame! You dare to do such things, yet fear others speaking out? Those people are right. People like you don’t belong in our school.”
“Zhou Cui’an, what nonsense!” Zhu Bixuan couldn’t hold back. “We’re all roommates. It’s one thing not to support Ye Leng’an against those people, but now you’re adding insult to injury. It’s truly disheartening.”
“Hmph, I’m just speaking the truth,” Zhou Cui’an retorted. “Besides, I didn’t force her to pursue wealthy suitors. How’s that my fault? With someone like that in our dorm, it’s dragging down our reputation!”
“Zhou Cui’an, your words are uncalled for.” Ling Weiwei frowned. “We still don’t know the full story about Ye Leng’an. How can you jump to conclusions like this?”
Although Ling Weiwei hadn’t been fond of Ye Leng’an initially, and still wasn’t particularly fond of her now, she didn’t dislike her either. They rarely crossed paths, and she didn’t know her well. But she couldn’t believe Ye Leng’an was capable of such behavior.
“Hmph, you’re all just good people,” Zhou Cui’an stood up, confronting the others. “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire. If Ye Leng’an hadn’t behaved questionably in the past, why would people say such things? Besides, how do you know Ye Leng’an hasn’t done something like this?”
“Oh, as if you know what kind of person I am,” Ye Leng’an retorted sarcastically, looking at Zhou Cui’an. “Could it be that you’re the one behind those forum posts?”
Zhou Cui’an reacted as though she’d been pricked by a needle, nearly jumping up. “Ye Leng’an, stop slandering me. Do you have any evidence that it was me?”
The intensity of their exchange drew everyone’s attention. Zhou Cui’an’s reaction made her seem guilty.
“Zhou Cui’an, did you really do it?” Zhu Bixuan’s tone held a hint of suspicion. “Why else would you react so strongly?”
“Don’t make baseless accusations,” Zhou Cui’an snapped. “And don’t think you can spout nonsense to defend Ye Leng’an. If you tarnish my reputation, I won’t let you off.”
“We didn’t say it was you for sure. Why are you so defensive?” Zhu Bixuan grew more suspicious. “You…”
“What do you mean, me?” Zhou Cui’an cut her off. “Zhu Bixuan, I warn you not to talk nonsense. And don’t forget who my boyfriend is now.”
Though Zhu Bixuan’s doubts intensified after Zhou Cui’an’s words, she remained silent.
She wasn’t from a prestigious family, but she wasn’t naive either. She wasn’t afraid of Zhou Cui’an, but rather Zhou Cui’an’s boyfriend, a member of the Huangfu family, a realm beyond her reach. Offending them wouldn’t just affect her; it would affect her family too. She couldn’t be so reckless as to jeopardize her family.
Ling Weiwei shared the same concerns. Though her family was wealthy, it paled in comparison to the Huangfu family.
Seeing Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei fall silent, Zhou Cui’an couldn’t help but feel smug. Her ambition swelled.
Once, she wouldn’t have dared raise her voice in front of Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei. Now, when they argued, it was they who fell silent. Such was the power of influence. With it, she could hold her head high before others.
Thus, she couldn’t afford to lose Huangfu Shaohua. She had to marry into the Huangfu family. Only then could she trample those who once looked down on her.
With this in mind, Zhou Cui’an looked smugly at Ye Leng’an and continued, “Ye Leng’an, since you dare to do such things, don’t be afraid of others speaking out. Perhaps it’s best for you to drop out obediently. Otherwise, it’ll reflect poorly on everyone in the end.”
“No need for your concern,” Ye Leng’an replied, her expression unchanged. “Zhou Cui’an, I’m curious. As a university student, you should know the internet isn’t lawless. Aren’t you afraid of consequences for fabricating stories and speaking recklessly?”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Zhou Cui’an’s expression soured. “Don’t falsely accuse me! I didn’t post that thread. I’m just speaking up for justice. If you’re upright and honest, why fear criticism?”
