Chapter 957: Do It Quickly
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s response, Murong Yumeng hesitated momentarily before hurriedly attempting to clarify, “That’s not what I meant. What I meant was…”
She had intended to attribute Zhou Cui’an’s suicide to Ye Leng’an so that everyone would know that today’s commotion was all due to Ye Leng’an’s callousness.
Unexpectedly, Ye Leng’an completely misinterpreted her intentions and absolved herself of all responsibility.
“Senior Sister Murong, what did you mean then?” Ye Leng’an blinked innocently, glancing at Murong Yumeng before smiling and asking, “Do you think Zhou Cui’an’s current spectacle is justified?”
“I didn’t mean to…I didn’t…”
Murong Yumeng was at a loss for words.
Meanwhile, Zhou Cui’an, standing by the railing, became increasingly agitated upon seeing Ye Leng’an. She shouted, “Ye Leng’an, it’s all because of you! You’re the reason I’m in this state!”
Her emotional outburst made her appear on the verge of collapse, causing those around her to feel apprehensive, fearing an imminent tragedy.
“Zhou Cui’an, if you have something to say, come down first,” the principal urged. “Your current behavior is hazardous. Life is precious, and you shouldn’t gamble with it like this.”
The principal detested such behavior – using one’s life to coerce others into compliance. If Zhou Cui’an were not a student of the school and had not threatened to jump, he would not be here now.
Others joined in the persuasion.
“Come on, Zhou Cui’an. We can talk about anything. Just come down first!”
“It’s too risky up there. If you accidentally fall, it’ll be too late for regrets.”
Despite the pleas, Zhou Cui’an remained unmoved, feeling increasingly smug about her decision. She believed she had made the right move.
In fact, she hadn’t initially planned to do such a thing. However, when she arrived for class today, she still received the usual strange looks from everyone. She had grown accustomed to this, but now all she wanted was to graduate peacefully and as soon as possible.
However, things took an unexpected turn when she collided with another girl, sparking an argument between them.
In the end, the other girl blurted out, “If you’re not satisfied, just post this matter on the forum and let everyone judge, see if you’re wrong or I’m wrong!”
With that, the girl left.
Left alone, she couldn’t help but recall recent events – being disciplined, treated unfairly, and even abandoned by Huangfu Shaohua. Suddenly, she felt as though the entire world had turned its back on her. On impulse, she ran up to the rooftop.
Yet, upon reaching the top, she immediately regretted her decision.
However, as more people began to pay attention to her, an idea took root in her mind. Perhaps she could use this opportunity to pressure the school into reversing her punishment.
Additionally, she wanted everyone to see Ye Leng’an’s true colors. Her online posts were genuine, without fabrication. Ye Leng’an’s legal victory was merely due to her influential backer.
Ye Leng’an observed Zhou Cui’an’s transformation with indifference, her hands casually tucked in her pockets. She watched quietly as Zhou Cui’an made a scene.
“Enough, I’m not coming down.” Zhou Cui’an’s voice grew louder, her emotions seeming even more agitated. “The school won’t help me at all. You’re all siding with Ye Leng’an just because of her good grades, and you all like her. And it’s also because of the backer behind Ye Leng’an that you can’t afford to offend, so you treat me like this.”
Upon hearing Zhou Cui’an continue with these words, the principal couldn’t help but frown. “Zhou Cui’an, the school has handled this matter fairly and impartially, without any favoritism. At this point, do you still insist that your slander against your classmate is justified?”
The negotiation expert on the side, upon hearing the principal’s firm words, quickly reminded him in a low voice to pay attention to Zhou Cui’an’s emotions.
The principal furrowed his brows and then remained silent.
As for the other school leaders, besides their anxiety, there was also a hint of impatience on their faces.
They were all very dissatisfied with Zhou Cui’an’s behavior. If they weren’t afraid that something would happen, they would have turned around and left immediately.
“You still dare to say that you’re not siding with Ye Leng’an.”
Zhou Cui’an’s eyes were red as she pointed her finger at Ye Leng’an and shouted, “Ye Leng’an, are you pleased with yourself? It’s all because of you, you’re the one who made me like this. Let me tell you, if I die here today, you’ll be the murderer.”
“Oh,” Ye Leng’an responded, unruffled. “So, are you going to jump or not? If you’re going to, do it quickly. I don’t have time to waste here with you.”
“Hey, you…” The negotiation expert was taken aback by Ye Leng’an’s words, intending to intervene. However, faced with Ye Leng’an’s icy gaze, he found himself speechless.
Similarly shocked, the others present refrained from speaking out, fearing to further agitate Zhou Cui’an.
Only Murong Yumeng, though visibly concerned, betrayed a hint of excitement in her eyes. She hadn’t anticipated Ye Leng’an’s audacity to provoke Zhou Cui’an at this moment.
Yet, she reasoned, it was for the best. If Zhou Cui’an were to jump provoked by Ye Leng’an, Ye Leng’an would bear the consequences. Even if it were deemed suicide, Ye Leng’an would be blamed.
Zhou Cui’an also appeared unable to maintain her composure in the face of Ye Leng’an’s remarks.
