Chapter 926: Moving out
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhou Cui’an returned to the dormitory in a sorry state. Ye Leng’an wasn’t there, leaving only Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei inside.
Upon seeing Zhou Cui’an enter, the two glanced briefly in her direction but quickly averted their gaze, not bothering to greet her.
Zhou Cui’an felt a pang of embarrassment. “Are you blind? Didn’t you see me come back?”
“So?” Ling Weiwei retorted coldly. “What does that have to do with us? Do you expect us to line up and welcome you?”
Zhou Cui’an’s face darkened further. She felt like she had been scorned enough outside, only to face criticism from her roommates upon returning.
She was instantly enraged. “Ling Weiwei, what do you mean by this? Let me tell you, my…”
“Your boyfriend is Huangfu Shaohua, right?” Ling Weiwei sneered. “Is that the only card you have to play? Well, I’m not afraid of you. If you think you can intimidate me, go ahead and have your boyfriend deal with me. Let’s see if the Huangfu family is as unreasonable as you claim.”
Zhou Cui’an was speechless. In truth, she couldn’t refute Ling Weiwei’s accusations. She needed Huangfu Shaohua’s help with a lawsuit, so stirring up trouble with petty arguments wasn’t an option.
“Zhou Cui’an, if you keep this up, you should move out,” Zhu Bixuan interjected. “We clearly don’t get along, so why not spare us the trouble? Otherwise, who knows when you’ll stab us in the back?”
Their suspicions had been confirmed. Zhou Cui’an had spread rumors about Ye Leng’an on the online forum out of spite. It was a malicious act that left them appalled.
“Why should I move?” Zhou Cui’an retorted, her frustration mounting. “I’ve paid for my spot here. If you’re so eager for me to leave, why don’t you move out instead?”
“Didn’t you say your boyfriend is Huangfu Shaohua?” Ling Weiwei mocked. “Can’t the Huangfu family afford to buy you a house? If not, it seems your boyfriend doesn’t value you as much as you think.”
“Who said that?” Zhou Cui’an instinctively retorted, “Shaohua is sincere to me. It’s just a house, nothing major. Let me tell you, I’ve had enough of this place. This dormitory is too small, and it’s shared by four people. I’ll move out soon.”
With that said, Zhou Cui’an picked up her bag and immediately left the dormitory.
“Do you think she’ll really move out?” Zhu Bixuan looked at Ling Weiwei, her tone tinged with doubt. “I can’t help but feel skeptical. I don’t think her boyfriend will buy her a house.”
Although Zhou Cui’an’s boyfriend was from the Huangfu family and wealthy, it didn’t mean he was foolish! How could he buy a house for a girlfriend he was currently dating?
Moreover, although Zhou Cui’an often boasted about how good and sweet her relationship with Huangfu Shaohua was, they didn’t feel the same. If someone truly liked another person, they wouldn’t act like this.
Even on regular days, it was Zhou Cui’an who called Huangfu Shaohua, and it seemed like Huangfu Shaohua had never initiated a call to Zhou Cui’an.
“Regardless of whether her boyfriend buys her a house, she can’t stay here,” Ling Weiwei continued. “She has made her threats clear today. If she doesn’t move out, she’ll never hold her head up around us again.”
Though they’d only been roommates for a semester, Ling Weiwei felt she knew Zhou Cui’an well enough. Zhou Cui’an was a contradictory person, struggling with both inferiority and arrogance. She used to feel inferior because of her background but refused to accept it. Upon arriving in the capital, her eyes were quickly dazzled by its glamorous world. It was merely a lack of opportunity that held her back previously. Now that Zhou Cui’an had connected herself with Huangfu Shaohua, she believed herself to be superior.
Being confronted in such a manner and faced with such harsh words, her pride was wounded deeply. If she were to continue residing in the dormitory after this incident, her dignity would be irreparably damaged.
“If she does move out, it’d be for the best,” Zhu Bixuan added. “I don’t want to live with someone capable of such vindictiveness.”
Zhu Bixuan suspected there was more to the situation between Zhou Cui’an and Ye Leng’an than met the eye. Despite Zhou Cui’an’s claims of a close relationship with Huangfu Shaohua, their interactions suggested otherwise.
“Don’t worry, she’ll move out,” Ling Weiwei reassured. “Otherwise, she’ll feel too ashamed to face us.”
Regardless of whether Zhou Cui’an’s boyfriend bought her a house, she’d have to leave. Where and how she would move was none of their concern.
Zhu Bixuan nodded, then voiced her concern. “Weiwei, what do you think will happen? Will Ye Leng’an really sue Zhou Cui’an?”
“Definitely,” Ling Weiwei affirmed. “Ye Leng’an strikes me as someone who keeps her word. And…”
“And what else?” Zhu Bixuan pressed eagerly.
“I have a feeling Ye Leng’an isn’t as simple as she seems,” Ling Weiwei continued. “Have you noticed her clothes? Simple yet elegant, and definitely custom-made. And her demeanor… Zhou Cui’an has truly messed with the wrong person this time.”
