Throughout the day, Cheng Yue was absent-minded and absent-minded. Every now and then, she would unconsciously look down at her phone, as if waiting for some important news.
However, as time went on, she seemed to become increasingly irritable, and finally simply turned off her phone.
Ye Huanhuan had noticed Cheng Yue's unusual behavior long ago and couldn't help but ask her in a low voice, "Cheng Yue, are you alright?"
Cheng Yue buried her head under the desk and said in a muffled voice, "I'm fine..."
Judging from this, he clearly didn't want to talk to Ye Huanhuan any further.
Seeing this, Ye Huanhuan could only sigh helplessly and didn't dare to ask any further questions.
After school, Cheng Yue went straight back to her dormitory without going to the school gate. Ye Huanhuan guessed that Cheng Yue's mother might have already left.
When she arrived at the school gate, she was surprised to find Cheng Yue's mother and the man still standing under the shade of the tree, waiting.
As soon as Cheng Yue's mother saw Ye Huanhuan, she immediately walked towards her aggressively, her face filled with obvious hostility.
Ye Huanhuan's heart tightened, and she quickly took out her phone to call the driver, Xiao He.
Soon, Cheng Yue's mother walked up to Ye Huanhuan and began to berate her:
"You bitch, what kind of spell did you cast on my Yueyue? You made her so considerate of you, yet she absolutely refuses to take a single penny from you!"
Cheng Yue's mother's shrill voice instantly attracted the attention of the other students. Ye Huanhuan was worried that she would hit her again, so she tried to keep a certain distance from her.
She said very politely, "Auntie, please don't get agitated. Let's find a quiet place to talk things over, okay?"
Cheng Yue's mother, however, persisted, "What's there to talk about with you? Either transfer the money or stay away from our Yueyue. I advise you, as a human being, don't be so wicked, and stop thinking about cheating our Yueyue out of her bone marrow!"
Ye Huanhuan took a deep breath and explained, "Auntie, I didn't mean to deceive Cheng Yue. You really misunderstood me. Actually, I also wanted to transfer the money to you, but I couldn't make a decision without Cheng Yue's consent."
Just then, a black luxury car drove up and stopped by the roadside. The driver, Xiao He, got out and quickly went to Ye Huanhuan's side.
"Miss, let's go," Xiao He said.
Ye Huanhuan nodded and was about to get into the car when Cheng Yue's mother rushed over and stopped her, shouting urgently:
“I’m her mother! I’m in charge of her affairs. If I say you can change your mind, then you can change your mind. She’s just a stupid idiot who can’t think straight. You don’t need to listen to her!”
Ye Huanhuan looked at Cheng Yue's mother and repeated, "Auntie, I need Cheng Yue's consent before I can transfer the money to you. I don't want to lose her as a friend because of this."
Cheng Yue's mother, however, felt that Ye Huanhuan was making excuses.
"Are you saying this on purpose because you don't have that much money to pay?"
Ye Huanhuan sighed helplessly and said, "Auntie, you can ask around. My reputation is nothing to me. As I said, the reason I don't give you the money is because I need Cheng Yue's consent. If I act on my own, it would be disrespectful to Cheng Yue. Do you understand?"
"Enough with the nonsense! I don't care who you are! You're not leaving today unless you transfer the money to me!"
Judging from Cheng Yue's mother's attitude, she probably won't give up until she gets the money today.
By this time, a crowd of onlookers had gathered, pointing and whispering among themselves.
"Isn't this Ye Huanhuan? Who is this woman? How dare she stop the eldest daughter of the Ye family? She's really not afraid of death!"
"Yes, did you hear that? That woman is asking Ye Huanhuan for money."
Ye Huanhuan frowned slightly and looked at Cheng Yue's mother with a troubled expression. "Auntie, this commotion won't do anyone any good. If you're not willing to sit down and talk to me calmly, then please step aside."
Cheng Yue's mother, however, refused to budge an inch. "Why should I listen to you? Who knows if you're up to something again!"
Ye Huanhuan said helplessly, "Auntie, since you don't believe me, then there's nothing more to say."
The driver, Xiao He, stood in front of Ye Huanhuan, his tall frame blocking her way. "Madam, please move aside. If you continue like this, I won't be polite."
Cheng Yue's mother remained relentless, pointing at Ye Huanhuan and yelling, "You think you can scare me by hiring a bodyguard? Let me tell you, I'm not afraid of you! You want to trick my Yueyue out of her bone marrow? Let me tell you, no way!"
Xiao He stepped forward and said seriously, "Madam, please don't make false accusations! Our young lady never intended to deceive Miss Cheng Yue about her bone marrow."
Cheng Yue's mother glared at Xiao He, "You're all in cahoots! I won't believe you!"
Ye Huanhuan was truly speechless in the face of Cheng Yue's mother, such an overbearing elder.
She thoughtfully turned her gaze to the man who had been silently staying by Cheng Yue's mother's side the whole time.
At first, the man barely said a word. From Cheng Yue's mother's words, Ye Huanhuan could tell that this man was not Cheng Yue's biological father.
In addition, Ye Huanhuan also noticed that the relationship between this man and Cheng Yue was quite subtle. He seemed to be speaking up for Cheng Yue before, but Cheng Yue's attitude towards him was quite cold.
Moreover, he neither tried to stop Cheng Yue's mother from acting out, nor did he show any dissatisfaction or impatience.
She suspected that this seemingly kind-looking man was likely the one who instigated Cheng Yue's mother.
Ye Huanhuan stared straight at the man and asked, "Uncle, are you sure you still want Auntie to stop me like this?"
The man was taken aback, not expecting Ye Huanhuan to notice him. He looked embarrassed and said, "Well... Ye, how can I possibly stop your aunt?"
Ye Huanhuan sneered, "I don't think so. Uncle, I respect you as an elder, but that doesn't mean I'll let you bully me. If you really cared about Cheng Yue, you shouldn't have let Auntie throw a tantrum here."
The man's kind face instantly turned ugly. "What do you mean by that? How am I not thinking about Yueyue?"
"You know perfectly well what's going on."
Ye Huanhuan didn't want to waste any more words with him. "Xiao He, let's go."
Xiao He helped Ye Huanhuan into the car and drove away.
Cheng Yue's mother wanted to chase after him, but the man stopped her.
Why are you pulling me? Let go of me!
Cheng Yue's mother roared angrily.
"Alright, stop making a scene! This isn't going to work," the man said.
"What should we do? Are we just going to let this woman go like this?" Cheng Yue's mother said unwillingly.
"They've left, but Yueyue is still at school, isn't she?"
Cheng Yue's mother glanced at the gatekeeper. "The school gatekeepers won't let us in at all, and they won't answer the phone when we call that brat. What else can we do?"
The man's eyes darted around as he looked at the S University students who were scattering in all directions, and an idea immediately formed in his mind.
