Qian Gumeng continued to shake her head, saying, “No, it’s not like that. Xiyuan considers me a friend. She knows that 1 like…”
“Friend?” Ye Leng’an’s tone was dripping with sarcasm. “Don’t demean the word ‘friend.’ She clearly knew you liked Li Deze, so why did she keep getting so close to him without any regard?”
“How did you know?” Qian Gumengs tone held a hint of disbelief.
“Ye Xiyuan must have told you that she wanted to set you up with Li Deze!” Ye Lengan didn’t directly respond but continued, “But after all this talk, has there been any action? I believe you’re the only one still naively believing in
“Ye Lengan, are you saying all this just to sow discord between Xiyuan and me?” Qian Gumeng raised her head and looked at Ye Lengan.
“You know deep down whether I’m trying to sow discord.” Ye Leng’an’s tone carried a trace of pity. “However, if you choose to continue being Ye Xiyuan’s tool, that’s your own decision and not my concern. But if you cross my path, you should be aware of the consequences.”
After saying that, Ye Lengan straightened up, a smile on her face, and walked past Qian Gumeng, continuing on her way. Clearly, encountering someone she didn’t like hadn’t affected her mood.
However, almost inadvertently, she raised her hand, observing the residue of some powder on it, her smile growing even brighter.
Left behind, Qian Gumeng wore an especially strange expression, even bordering on madness.
Though she didn’t want to believe it, Ye Leng’an’s words had taken root and sprouted doubts in her heart. She kept trying to convince herself that Ye Xiyuan considered her a friend. However, whenever she thought about past events, her fragile trust began to crack.
Ultimately, Qian Gumeng couldn’t contain her suspicions any longer and decided to seek out Ye Xiyuan. She desperately needed answers to prove that she wasn’t a fool.
At that moment, Ye Xiyuan was in high spirits. News of her upcoming adoption as Mrs. Nangongs goddaughter had spread, and many people were already aware of it.
After all, the invitations had been sent out, and the banquet was just around the corner. She had never considered keeping such news a secret. Today, as she arrived early in the classroom, many students began to fawn over her. Word had already spread that she had a close relationship with the Nangong family’s young master due to the previous banquet. Now, with her adoption as Mrs. Nangongs goddaughter, it seemed like she was officially connected to the Nangong family. Naturally, everyone wanted to befriend her.
Facing the flattery of her classmates, Ye Xiyuan was clearly delighted. However, she still maintained her humility and didn’t let success go to her head. She responded kindly to everyone’s well-wishes.
As a result, everyone’s fondness for Ye Xiyuan continued to rise. She was about to become Mrs. Nangongs goddaughter, yet she remained friendly and down-to-earth, without any airs.
Just as the atmosphere was harmonious, Qian Gumeng suddenly burst into the classroom, looking highly agitated. She made a beeline for Ye Xiyuan.
‘Qian Gumeng, why are you here?” one of the students spoke up. “You stole Xiyuan’s necklace at her birthday party, and she was gracious enough to let it slide. Do you have the nerve to come and find her?”
“Exactly, if I were you, I wouldn’t even show up at school,” another student taunted. “You’re a thief, and you stole from your best friend.”
“I’m not a thief, I didn’t…” Qian Gumeng repeatedly shook her head, trying to defend herself. At the same time, she cast a pleading look at Ye Xiyuan, hoping that she could offer an explanation.
“Alright, enough.” Ye Xiyuan raised her hand, silencing everyone. “l believe that Gumeng isn’t that kind of person. She must have had her reasons.”
As she spoke, she kept signaling Qian Gumeng to leave as soon as possible. Simultaneously, she felt a bit annoyed since she had previously advised Qian Gumeng not to approach her at school. What was the meaning of this? Qian Gumeng was here to stir up trouble again..
