Originally, she thought Murong Yumeng wouldn’t wait downstairs. However, when she arrived, she found her sitting in a nearby pavilion, waiting.
Murong Yumeng sat upright, a sign of her upbringing in a prestigious family. Not playing with her phone, she instead gazed towards the dormitory direction, displaying no impatience.
A hint of gloominess flickered in Ye Leng’an’s eyes as she approached Murong Yumeng.
In fact, Murong Yumeng had seen her the moment she descended. Yet, she remained seated, deeming it unnecessary to rise and greet.
Capital University’s dormitory rules were strict; outsiders couldn’t enter casually. Only dorm residents could invite guests.
Though she could enter if she wanted, seeking out Ye Leng’an was already a concession. Going up personally would be too much. Plus, she didn’t want their conversation overheard.
So, she had someone call Ye Leng’an out. She didn’t expect her to be so ungrateful, making her wait.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Murong Yumeng’s eyes, though she masked it with a polite smile.
“Junior Sister Ye, you’re here!” Murong Yumeng greeted Ye Leng’an warmly, inviting her to sit.
Despite her inward disdain, she maintained her composed demeanor. Firstly, to advance her agenda with Ye Leng’an, and secondly, her façade was too ingrained to falter.
Ye Leng’an, observing Murong Yumeng’s calm demeanor, raised an eyebrow thoughtfully but without surprise. She sat across from her without ceremony.
“Senior Sister Murong, why seek me out?” Ye Leng’an got straight to the point. “Considering our relationship, there’s little to discuss.”
Murong Yumeng nearly lost her smile but quickly regained composure. “Junior Sister Ye, surely you jest,” she chuckled. “Our past issues were trivial. Besides, it’s been so long; any disagreements have long dissolved.”
Seeing Murong Yumeng’s swift adjustment, Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow. “So? Senior Sister Murong, why the visit? Not attempting to bond, are you?”
Even Murong Yumeng wouldn’t believe such insincere words!
Though Ye Leng’an’s attitude was brusque, Murong Yumeng maintained her cool. “Junior Sister Ye, no need to be sharp. I harbor no ill will. In fact, before we met, I’d heard of your exploits. Quite impressive to be a young college entrance exam topper.”
This she’d learned later.
Once an ordinary girl from the capital, Ye Leng’an was exposed as an imposter and ousted. Yet, the revelation caused little stir. Her academic prowess led to this year’s college entrance exam triumph.
Being the top scorer did turn heads, but not for elite families like theirs.
Regardless of academic excellence, their futures paled in comparison. The top scorer’s finish line might just be their starting point.
But about Ye Leng’an’s fiancé, she drew a blank. Whether due to the fiancé’s secrecy or her informant’s incompetence, she couldn’t find out.
However, Ye Leng’an’s fiancé undoubtedly hailed from a wealthy family, evident in his haughty demeanor.
Ye Leng’an’s opulent lifestyle was surely courtesy of her fiancé.
Knowing all this, she felt disdain for Ye Leng’an. To her, Ye Leng’an was with her fiancé solely for money. Without them, Ye Leng’an might struggle to afford university.
Observing Murong Yumeng’s wavering gaze, Ye Leng’an remained unswayed. “So, Senior Sister Murong, you came to see what the top scorer looks like?”
“Junior Sister Ye, your grades are commendable. But to make a mark post-graduation, good grades won’t suffice.” Murong Yumeng smiled, continuing, “As you may know, I’m the student council president. Any interest in joining?”
Confident, she believed no student could resist. After all, Capital University was prestigious, and joining the student council was a boon.
But joining wasn’t easy. Despite many applicants, few succeeded.
She’d offered Ye Leng’an a golden opportunity; she’d be wise to seize it. Otherwise, opportunities like this were scarce.
“The student council?” Ye Leng’an blinked. Meeting Murong Yumeng’s confident gaze, she replied slowly, “Sorry, I’m not interested.”
