Chapter 935: Tell Her to Fend for Herself

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Watching Murong Yumeng dial Huangfu Shaohua’s number, Zhou Cui’an was filled with conflicting emotions. She wasn’t sure how to feel at this moment. On one hand, she hoped Murong Yumeng could get through the call. On the other hand, she feared that Murong Yumeng would indeed connect.

Wanting Murong Yumeng to make the call was crucial because she needed to contact Huangfu Shaohua to understand the situation and figure out her next steps. However, at the same time, she dreaded Murong Yumeng’s success in reaching him. That would imply Huangfu Shaohua wasn’t busy but simply avoiding her calls.

Murong Yumeng paid no attention to Zhou Cui’an’s inner conflict. By now, she had already reached Huangfu Shaohua on the phone. Upon hearing his familiar voice amidst the cacophony, she promptly asked, “Shaohua, what’s been going on with you lately?”

The background noise on the call indicated Huangfu Shaohua was indeed at the bar. His surprise at Murong Yumeng’s call quickly turned into annoyance upon hearing her almost accusatory tone.

“Ah, Miss Murong, have I offended you recently?” Huangfu Shaohua’s tone carried indifference tinged with sarcasm. “And I certainly haven’t abandoned you, so there’s no need for this questioning!”

Though Murong Yumeng was a direct descendant of the Murong family, Huangfu Shaohua was no ordinary individual. Confronted with her relentless questioning, he didn’t hesitate to assert his stance.

Feeling the dissatisfaction in Huangfu Shaohua’s voice, Murong Yumeng realized her tone might have been too harsh. Softening her voice, she explained, “Shaohua, I didn’t mean anything by it. I’m just relaying someone else’s inquiries.”

While Murong Yumeng spoke, Huangfu Shaohua had found a quieter spot. “Did Zhou Cui’an contact you?” he asked, unable to think of any other reason for Murong Yumeng’s call.

Besides this matter, he couldn’t see any other cause. However, he couldn’t interfere now.

“You know about it?” Murong Yumeng’s tone held a hint of puzzlement. “Didn’t you say you’d handle this matter? What’s going on? Zhou Cui’an has received a call from the court.”

“Oh, you are talking about this matter…” Huangfu Shaohua’s voice was dismissive. “I can’t intervene anymore. Let her fend for herself!”

Hearing Huangfu Shaohua’s words, Murong Yumeng was momentarily stunned. Her earlier suspicions had now been confirmed. But what had happened? What had prompted Huangfu Shaohua to make such a decision?

Zhou Cui’an, standing nearby, was itching to snatch the phone from Murong Yumeng and speak to Huangfu Shaohua herself. But she dared not make any move, having already offended Murong Yumeng earlier.

Without Murong Yumeng’s support, navigating through the school would be challenging for her. Listening to their conversation, she was fraught with anxiety. Simultaneously, a sense of foreboding gripped her.

Now that Murong Yumeng could reach Huangfu Shaohua while she couldn’t, there was only one explanation: Huangfu Shaohua had blocked her number.

The thought increased her anxiety. It wasn’t just about the slander case anymore; it was also about Huangfu Shaohua’s attitude. Reflecting on his behavior lately, her heart grew cold. It seemed Huangfu Shaohua wanted to break up with her.

Why else would he avoid contact?

Unaware of Zhou Cui’an’s changing emotions, Murong Yumeng’s mind was preoccupied with Huangfu Shaohua’s last words. “Shaohua, is something wrong? What’s going on?”

“Yumeng, let me offer you a piece of advice, out of our acquaintance.” Huangfu Shaohua’s voice came through the phone. “It’s best if you don’t involve yourself in this matter anymore. And it’s better not to use the Murong family’s resources to help Zhou Cui’an. Otherwise, if things go south, it’ll be too late for regrets.

With that, he hung up without another word.

Though the call had ended, Murong Yumeng remained lost in thought. All her attention was on Huangfu Shaohua’s final statement.

She didn’t understand what was happening, but Huangfu Shaohua’s words hinted at something more complicated than she imagined.

At that moment, she couldn’t help but recall Ye Leng’an, her fiancé, the nobleman radiating an aura of dominance.

Had Huangfu Shaohua backed down because of Ye Leng’an’s fiancé? But if that were true, what was that man’s identity?

The thought made her breath catch.

If he was truly as noble as he seemed, then being with him… At that moment, a strong sense of jealousy towards Ye Leng’an surged within her. She even wished she could replace Ye Leng’an.

“Senior Sister, did you reach Shaohua?” Seeing Murong Yumeng’s silence, Zhou Cui’an couldn’t help but ask, “Where is he? Why isn’t he answering my calls? And what about the lawsuit?”

The barrage of questions snapped Murong Yumeng out of her reverie. Impatience flickered in her eyes. After a moment’s consideration, she replied, “Um, Junior Sister Zhou, I’m afraid the lawsuit isn’t as simple as it seems.”

“What’s going on?” Zhou Cui’an was on the verge of grabbing Murong Yumeng’s hand again in her anxiety. But she remembered what had happened earlier and restrained herself. “Why is Shaohua ignoring me?” Murong Yumeng’s words hit Zhou Cui’an like a bolt from the blue. Despite receiving a call from the court, she had clung to a glimmer of hope in her heart. However, Murong Yumeng’s words shattered all her illusions.
