Chapter 411: Falling Out 3

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation   Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

If it had been in the past, Qian Gumeng would have felt self-blame and immediately apologized to Ye Xiyuan. But now, she harbored suspicions about Ye Xiyuan. So, she straightforwardly said, “Since what you’re saying is true, when can I meet Li Deze? Didn’t you mention wanting to set us up? If that’s the case, we should spend some time together!”

Upon hearing Qian Gumeng’s request, Ye Xiyuan’s body stiffened, and she struggled to maintain her expression. “Gumeng, Brother Deze is usually quite busy, so if we want to meet, we’d need to schedule a suitable time, and we…”

Before Ye Xiyuan could finish her sentence, Qian Gumeng interrupted her, saying, “Don’t use such words to evade my questions. Xiyuan, tell me honestly, have you been using me all along?”

“Gumeng, have you perhaps heard someone trying to sow discord between us?” Ye Xiyuan quickly offered an explanation. “We’re good friends. Why would

I use you?”

“If that’s not the case, then why are you making me take the blame for this situation?” Qian Gumengs emotions were slipping out of her control as she questioned, “It’s not just this time, even during the last qualifier. That matter clearly had nothing to do with me, but I ended up facing the consequences. Ye Xiyuan, why am I always the one who gets hurt? Is it just because I’m your good friend?”

“Gumeng, l…” Ye Xiyuan didn’t know what to say. “Take a moment to calm down. Otherwise, we won’t be able to have a productive conversation.”

“l don’t need to calm down right now.” Qian Gumengs gaze, when fixed on Ye Xiyuan, carried a hint of resentment she couldn’t conceal. “l want to hear your explanation now. Otherwise, you can go explain to our classmates that I didn’t steal that necklace.’

“Sorry, Gumeng, but I truly have no choice.” Ye Xiyuan wore a troubled expression. “What’s the point of me saying these things now? Both of us will be criticized. Is that the outcome you want?”

Her patience with Qian Gumeng had reached its limit. It appeared she had been too lenient. Qian Gumeng should have been cast aside long ago, and now the blade was pointed squarely at her.

Just at that moment, the mechanical voice of the system suddenly sounded, “Host, please be aware that Li Deze is on his way here.”

Receiving the system’s alert, Ye Xiyuan immediately formulated a plan. Since Qian Gumeng was no longer under her control, it was time to let her go. This was a perfect opportunity. With the right execution, no one at school would believe Qian Gumengs words.

With this in mind, Ye Xiyuan’s expression transformed completely. Her formerly gentle countenance was now adorned with a malevolent smile. “Qian Gumeng, I initially didn’t want to have a falling out with you, but it seems you are truly shameless! So, I’ll tell you straight. Yes, I’ve been using you all along.

How does that make you feel now that you know the truth?”

Even though she had prepared herself mentally, Qian Gumeng was still somewhat taken aback by Ye Xiyuan’s abrupt change in demeanor. Her face displayed disbelief. “Ye Xiyuan, you…”

“How does it feel? Quite shocking, isn’t it?” The sarcasm on Ye Xiyuan’s face became more pronounced. “Didn’t you suspect as much already, Qian Gumeng? If it weren’t for your naivety and gullibility, do you think I would have willingly made myself your so-called good friend?”

“Ye Xiyuan, aren’t you afraid I’ll expose your true nature to everyone?” Qian Gumeng spoke with resentment. “By then, do you think our classmates will still idolize you as they do now?”

“If you want to do that, go ahead!” Ye Xiyuan responded indifferently. “You’re now a knovvn thief, while I’m about to become the Nangong family’s adoptive daughter.. Tell me, will people believe your words or mine?”
