Chapter 759: Chapter 759 [Extra] Apologies Shouldn’t Be Directed at Me
Shi Yue’s birthday banquet was attended only by her friends, who naturally sided with her. Moreover, there’s a saying, ‘bite the hand that feeds you.’ The crowd kept comforting her by saying, “This Sheng Ning’an, who knows what she’s so proud of? Her parents graduated from Jing University, big deal. She herself is just like us, and didn’t even get into Jing University. Besides, you didn’t say anything wrong—her boyfriend is much older than her; who knows how she managed to snag him?”
“Exactly, I think she just despises her boyfriend’s age, so she forbids others from mentioning it.”
“She always acts so high and mighty in class, as if she really were a princess.”
Tian Yu and Xue Xian were caught in the middle between Sheng Ning’an and Shi Yue, and it seemed they couldn’t really take sides easily.
Their expressions became somewhat awkward.
But seeing that the conversation was getting nastier, they couldn’t help but speak up for Sheng Ning’an, “An’an might have really had something urgent to attend to, that’s why she left early.”
“Yes, An’an and her boyfriend are really close; it’s definitely not like what you all are thinking.”
“Who knows what’s really going on between her and her boyfriend? If it weren’t a sore spot, why would she get so upset at the mention of it?”
“Exactly, it could just be that she’s feeling guilty, hiding something!”
“Sorry!” Suddenly, a voice sounded.
Zhou Xian pushed back his chair and stood up, “I have something too, so I’ll be leaving first.”
Shi Yue watched Zhou Xian leave, her expression stiffening for a moment before it twisted.
But the next instance, she got up from her chair, chased after him, and called out, “Zhou Xian!”
Zhou Xian stopped in his tracks and turned around.
Shi Yue hurriedly walked up to him, squeezing a smile on her face, “I’m glad you could come to my birthday party. It’s all my fault, I misspoke earlier…”
Before she could finish, Zhou Xian interrupted, “Your apologies shouldn’t be directed at me.”
Shi Yue didn’t immediately grasp what he meant, blinking in confusion.
When had she apologized?
She was merely trying to emphasize that Sheng Ning’an was making a big deal out of nothing.
But then it dawned on her, judging from his reaction, he might also think she was wrong and needed to apologize to Sheng Ning’an.
All she did was speak the truth. Has it come to the point where people can’t even speak the truth anymore?
However, in front of Zhou Xian, even if she had objections, it wasn’t the time to show them.
Especially after knowing that Zhou Xian might like Sheng Ning’an, she couldn’t outright speak ill of Sheng Ning’an in front of him for fear of offending him.
Forcing herself to maintain her composure, she said, “I know, I’ll apologize to her later. But since you’re here, why not stay for dinner before you go?”
“No need,” Zhou Xian flatly refused.
“Then, can we exchange WeChat contacts?” Shi Yue asked, backing down.
Zhou Xian: “Sorry, my phone’s out of battery!”
But just a moment ago, Xiao Yue was able to add Sheng Ning’an on WeChat using his phone, which clearly still had battery.
Saying it’s out of battery was just an excuse; he just didn’t want to add her. Shi Yue felt a burning sensation on her face, as if she had been slapped.
“I’ll be leaving now!” Zhou Xian clearly had no intention of staying longer and didn’t care if she believed his excuse or not, saying this, he just left.
Watching him leave, Shi Yue’s face was full of resentment and anger.
Sheng Ning’an, it’s all because of you!
