Lengan, youre really too calm, Zhu Bixuan exclaimed, raising her thumb. Youre still a hot topic on the school forum, you know? Many people think youre much more beautiful than Murong Yumeng.

After all, Murong Yumengs picture had been heavily edited, while Ye Lengans was completely natural. So no matter how one looked at it, Ye Lengan was definitely superior.

These things arent important, Ye Lengan shrugged, speaking nonchalantly. Even if I become the school belle, it doesnt earn any academic credits. Whats the use?

Hearing this, everyone present felt somewhat speechless. But upon reflection, it seemed to make sense.

So! Ye Lengan turned to the others in the dorm, continuing, Though were in university now, we should still prioritize our studies. The rest doesnt hold much meaning, does it? When you graduate and look for a job, if someone asks what outstanding things you did in university, you cant say you were elected as school belle, can you?

As soon as she said this, others couldnt help but nod. Though it sounded a bit twisted, it made sense.

Lengan, I truly admire you, Zhu Bixuan couldnt help but sigh. But I have to say, what youre saying really makes sense. I think the school should give you an award, the Best Encouragement for Academic Excellence Award.

Ye Lengan glanced at Zhu Bixuan and rolled her eyes. Since Ive convinced you, remember to study hard from ow on!

The discussion about the school belle election concluded in the dormitory.

However, though it ended there, it intensified at the Capital University. Murong Yumeng had the highest votes, closely followed by Ye Lengan, who was almost overtaking her.

The school community was almost split into two factions. One supported Murong Yumeng, believing she was the true school belle, while the other favored Ye Lengan, considering her far more beautiful than Murong Yumeng. After all, she could match Murong Yumeng with just a bare-faced photo.

But Ye Lengan, at the center of it all, remained indifferent. Most of her time was spent studying. Even during leisure hours, shed either be with Huangfu Ruiling or back at the villa refining pills. She rarely stayed in the dormitory, let alone concerning herself with things like the school belle selection.

However, peace was always fragile.

That day, Ye Lengan had no afternoon cla.s.ses and planned to visit Huangfu Ruiling first before returning to the villa after dinner.

She had informed the school she could go home anytime, not needing to stay in the dormitory. She also promised to be in the top ten in every final exam, given her top scorer status in the college entrance exam. The school was lenient with her, yet had high expectations.

Arriving at the school gate, Ye Lengan spotted the driver waiting to pick her up.

Seeing the driver, Ye Lengan couldnt help but wonder if she should buy a car herself! The idea had crossed her mind when Zhu Bixuan talked about buying one. Having her own car would make transportation much easier than having to rely on the driver every time.

As she pondered, she heard a familiar voice from behind before she could get into the car.

Lengan!

Ye Lengan frowned upon hearing the voice behind her. Despite knowing about it from Huangfu Ruiling, encountering it in person was still irritating.

Turning around, she saw Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu not far behind her, both wearing expectant expressions.

However, Ye Lengans brows furrowed deeply, her tone cold as she asked, Why are you here?

Upon hearing Ye Lengans words, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu felt hurt.

Ye Lengan leaned towards the driver and said, You can go back now! Ill take a taxi later.

The driver had no objections and left.

After the driver left, Ye Lengan walked slowly towards Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. Lets find a place to sit and talk!

This was the school gate, with people coming and going. She wasnt interested in being a spectacle here.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu agreed.

Soon, the three of them found a caf nearby. They chose a corner booth and sat down.

Ye Lengan stirred her coffee before looking up at the two opposite her. What do you want?

Upon hearing Ye Lengans direct question, Lian Mengzhu seemed a bit anxious. Lengan, we weve been wanting to talk to you for a while. But the Huangfu family said you had already come to the mortal world. We came to find you specifically.

Alright. Ye Lengans expression remained unchanged as she nodded. Now that youre here, if you have something to say, say it! Dont waste our time.

As she spoke, she checked the time on her phone.

Before leaving, she had already messaged Huangfu Ruiling. Now, Huangfu Ruiling was probably waiting for her, so she wanted to end the conversation quickly and go to Huangye Group. If she took too long, Huangfu Ruiling would get impatient.

However, the driver had already left, probably reporting the situation to Huangfu Ruiling. As long as he knew Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were here, Huangfu Ruiling would probably understand the situation.

Lengan, why are you so defensive? Ye Hongxuan frowned. Were not your enemies; were your biological parents. You dont need to be so guarded against us. We wont hurt you.

So? Ye Lengan shrugged. Did you come here just to tell me that? Ive never denied it, but whats the point?

Seeing Ye Lengans cold att.i.tude, Lian Mengzhu felt hurt. Lengan, I know we havent interacted much before, so were not close.
