Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback Chapter 919 – Late or Not?

Chapter 919: Late or Not?

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In a private room of a high-class restaurant in the capital, Murong Yumeng, dressed in the current season’s high-end casual wear, exuded an air of ease and relaxation, as if she were simply enjoying a meal.

On the other hand, Zhou Cui’an, seated beside her, though also attired in high-class clothing, appeared somewhat agitated. Apart from her infrequent visits to such upscale eateries, there was another crucial reason for her unease: her purpose in coming today.

Despite mentally preparing herself to confess and apologize to Ye Leng’an upon arrival, she found it difficult to stomach the sight of her smug demeanor. Moreover, while she had indeed posted casually on the forum, it was all truthful content. She simply hadn’t managed to gather concrete evidence.

However, the mere thought of apologizing to Ye Leng’an solely, because she spoke the truth on the forum, left her feeling deeply uncomfortable. Were it not for her fear of Huangfu Shaohua discovering the matter, she would never have considered apologizing to Ye Leng’an.

Though Murong Yumeng remained seated, she discreetly observed Zhou Cui’an’s demeanor, accurately gauging her current mood. After all, Zhou Cui’an was just a university student, inexperienced in concealing her emotions. Whether due to her lack of guard against Murong Yumeng or for some other reason, she made no effort to disguise her feelings in her presence.

Zhou Cui’an’s evident displeasure indicated her unwillingness to apologize to Ye Leng’an. This suited Murong Yumeng fine, as she hadn’t come with the intention of reconciliation from the start.

As the appointed time approached, Ye Leng’an had yet to arrive, exacerbating Zhou Cui’an’s irritation.

“Senior Sister, do you think Ye Leng’an is toying with us?” Zhou Cui’an couldn’t help but voice her frustration. “Look, it’s already seven o’clock. She still hasn’t shown up!”

“There’s no need to be so anxious!” Murong Yumeng reassured her, setting down her water glass. “It’s only six fifty now. We haven’t even reached our agreed meeting time yet!”

“But does Ye Leng’an really need the exact time to appear?” Zhou Cui’an’s tone dripped with dissatisfaction. “Who does she think she is? What gives her the right to make us wait like this?”

In Zhou Cui’an’s eyes, Murong Yumeng was the legitimate heir of the Murong family, and she herself was Huangfu Shaohua’s girlfriend, soon to be a part of the Huangfu family. Even if Ye Leng’an had a wealthy benefactor, he was just a nouveau riche. What gave her the right to keep them waiting?

Especially considering tonight’s dinner was arranged by Senior Sister Murong. Was Ye Leng’an looking down on the Murong family? She was being too arrogant.

“It’s just a minor issue.” Murong Yumeng remained unfazed. “Besides, she isn’t late!”

Seeing Murong Yumeng’s indifferent attitude, Zhou Cui’an couldn’t vent her frustration towards Ye Leng’an. Nevertheless, she had already attributed all her grievances to Ye Leng’an.

Finally, at exactly seven o’clock, the door to the private room swung open, and Ye Leng’an entered.

Though she was aware that Murong Yumeng wouldn’t invite her to dinner so casually, seeing Zhou Cui’an in the room still momentarily surprised her.

“Oh, our busy bee has finally graced us with her presence!” Zhou Cui’an’s tone dripped with sarcasm. “We’ve been waiting for you for so long just to treat you to a meal!”

“I recall us agreeing to meet at seven o’clock!” Ye Leng’an raised her hand to check her watch. Then, with a faint smile, she said, “Could it be that I misremembered?”

“Hmph, we agreed on seven o’clock, and you’re here just in time to check the time!” Zhou Cui’an huffed. “Do you have any idea how long we’ve been waiting for you?! Did you not think to come earlier? You have no manners at all.”

“Manners?” Ye Leng’an’s sharp gaze locked onto Zhou Cui’an. “Are you lecturing me on manners? Who do you think you are? What right do you have to speak to me like this? Do you truly believe that because you’ve hooked up with Huangfu Shaohua, you’re already part of the Huangfu family?”

Zhou Cui’an was indeed the epitome of a villain! While she had been somewhat vain before, she hadn’t been as arrogant as she was now. It was likely due to having Huangfu Shaohua as a backer that she had become so haughty!

“Ye Leng’an, you…” Zhou Cui’an seethed.

“Alright, enough.” Murong Yumeng rose to defuse the tension. “I’m the one treating tonight, so let’s maintain some decorum. Let’s not argue over such a trivial matter.”

“Senior Sister Murong, do you also think it’s my fault?” Ye Leng’an turned to Murong Yumeng, questioning her directly. “You said we were meeting at seven, and I arrived at seven. I wasn’t late, was I? As the host, you should have arrived early. But as a guest, isn’t it enough that I’m not late? Do you agree?”

Since Murong Yumeng aimed to mediate, she might as well confront the issue head-on. She wanted to see if Murong Yumeng could provide a satisfactory answer.

Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s challenge, Murong Yumeng faltered, her smile stiffening.

“What? Even someone as well-bred as you from the Murong family can’t respond?” Ye Leng’an quipped with a faint smile. “Or is your family’s upbringing different from others’?”

“How could that be!” Murong Yumeng forced a smile. “Junior Sister Zhou was just too impatient. Leng’an, since you’re not late, there’s naturally no issue with your upbringing.”

Despite her smile, the clenched fists and the flicker of fire in her eyes revealed her inner turmoil.

Zhou Cui’an’s dissatisfaction with Ye Leng’an had nearly reached its peak. She slammed the table and began to rise. “Ye Leng’an, let me tell you, don’t push it too far. Otherwise, I…”

“What will you do?” Ye Leng’an interrupted with a smile. “If you don’t welcome me, I’ll leave now.”
