As she spoke, Ye Lengan didn’t bother to hide the cold aura emanating from her.

For a moment, as Qian Gumeng looked at Ye Lengan, she couldn’t help but shudder. However, soon after, a surge of anger overcame her. She rushed forward and raised her hand, intending to slap Ye Lengan. But before her hand could make contact, it was caught by a slender and delicate hand.

Although that arm appeared slender, and the hand pet.i.te, at this moment, it gripped her wrist like a pair of iron tongs, rendering her hand immobile. She even felt waves of pain emanating from her wrist, as if it might break at any moment.

“Qian Gumeng, do you want to hit me?” Ye Lengan looked at her coldly. “If you no longer want your hand, just let me know, and I can break it for you.”

“You…” Feeling the pain in her arm, tears welled up in Qian Gumengs eyes, and she begged, “Let go of me, Ye Lengan, please, let go.”

Just when Qian Gumeng thought her wrist was about to snap, the pain suddenly vanished.

“Qian Gumeng, don’t attempt to challenge my limits!” Ye Lengan stared at Qian Gumeng, her face devoid of any expression. “Furthermore, I mean what I say. If I hear any more foul language from you, give it a try and see if life as a mute is more pleasant for you.”

While Qian Gumeng tried to deny Ye Leng’an’s words, she somehow felt that she wasn’t just making empty threats.

Thinking about this, she s.h.i.+vered involuntarily. However, she soon realized that she might be appearing too weak. Moreover, why had Ye Lengan hit her? Even her parents had never done that!

“Ye Lengan, you’ve openly committed violence in school. I’m going to report this to the princ.i.p.al!” Qian Gumeng gritted her teeth and glared at Ye Lengan.

“Let’s see if the princ.i.p.al will continue to protect you.”

“Feel free to do so,” Ye Lengan replied nonchalantly. “But when you do, don’t forget to explain the whole story. You and Ye Xiyuan tried to set me up, but it backfired, leading to your own trouble. It would be great if you could let everyone at school know the extent of your collaboration with Ye Xiyuan.”

“You…” Qian Gumeng hadn’t expected Ye Lengan to show any fear. “It’s all just your words, and you have no evidence.”

“That’s correct; I have no evidence.” Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Just like you have no proof that the necklace was planted in your bag by me. So, in everyone’s eyes, Qian Gumeng, you’re a thief. And not just any thief, but someone who stole from her best friend. I think from now on, no one on this campus will want to be your friend!”

Ye Leng’an’s words struck right at Qian Gumengs pain points, nearly causing her to explode. “Ye Lengan, shut up. I’m not a thief. You’re the one who did this to me, not the other way around.”

“This has nothing to do with me.” Ye Leng’an’s tone suddenly softened. “Qian Gumeng, think it over. Why did you end up like this? Everything was masterminded by Ye Xiyuan, but in the end, you’re the one taking the blame. Right now, you’re seen as a thief by everyone, while Ye Xiyuan remains untainted. Is this the kind of friends.h.i.+p you share?”

Hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Qian Gumengs conviction wavered slightly, but she quickly dismissed it. “No, Xiyuan isn’t like that. Ye Lengan, don’t sow discord here. I won’t fall for your tricks.”

“Am 1 truly sowing discord?” Ye Leng’an’s tone remained unchanged as she continued, “Haven’t you realized it yet? You’re just a tool in Ye Xiyuan’s hands. Do you genuinely believe you’re good friends? If you were, why didn’t Ye Xiyuan step forward to help explain at the banquet? She stood by idly while you faced trouble. In fact, this whole situation was orchestrated by Ye Xiyuan, and you were just an accomplice.”

“You…” Qian Gumeng seemed to catch a whiff of a sweet scent but paid it no mind. Her entire focus was on Ye Leng’an’s words. When she looked at Ye Lengan, her gaze flickered. “If you know everything, then why did you…”

Why did she frame her? Why her instead of Ye Xiyuan?

Though her rational mind told her that Ye Xiyuan was her true friend, she shouldn’t have such thoughts. Yet, she couldn’t help herself.

“Qian Gumeng, the person you should be questioning now isn’t me, but your so-called good friend.” Ye Lengan chuckled lightly. “Even your so-called friend left you in the lurch. She didn’t even want to explain for you. Do you still expect others to?”

“No, Xiyuan isn’t like that. She’s just…” Qian Gumeng attempted to defend Ye Xiyuan but struggled to find the right words.

Perhaps, deep down, she was also blaming Ye Xiyuan.

“Qian Gumeng, it’s time for you to wake up,” Ye Lengan continued. “Think about it. How much have you done for Ye Xiyuan? In the end, you’re the one who takes the fall, while she hides behind you, playing the role of a saint.”

After hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Qian Gumeng couldn’t help but recall the banquet, the times she stood up for Ye Xiyuan during the math compet.i.tion, and how she always seemed to end up at a disadvantage.

Everything she did was for Ye Xiyuan, but when trouble arose, she was the only one who suffered the consequences, while Ye Xiyuan remained untarnished.

Ye Lengan drew closer to Qian Gumeng, her voice softening as she continued, “So, Qian Gumeng, don’t delude yourself. Ye Xiyuan has never considered you a friend. In her eyes, you’re just a useful tool..”
