The butler answered truthfully, "Mister deducted one month's worth of salary from Pete."
"Uh...then I actually made things worse by trying to help?" Ye Anxin's small face became even more upset as she was overcome with guilt and shame.
The butler simply stood quietly and didn't reply, but his opinion of Ye Anxin changed again.
Ye Anxin ate her breakfast without having any appetite and then a chauffeur drove her to school.
Walking into her classroom, she let out a big yawn, sat down in her seat, and slumped at her desk listlessly. She was thinking about how to get Mu Beiting to change his mind and not punish Pete. Since Pete had been punished because of her, she felt really guilty.
While Ye Anxin was sitting there in a daze, a red wedding invitation was slapped down onto her desk by her bestie, Ling Yueyue, who said angrily, "Hey...Ye Anxin, can you please tell me what on earth is going on?"
Ye Anxin reluctantly stood up, took the wedding invitation, and opened it. When she saw Mu Rufeng and Xie Yunlu's faces stuck together in the picture inside, she threw the wedding invitation down on the desk.
Ling Yueyue sat down beside her. Clutching her small face in both hands, she asked angrily, "Ye Anxin, didn't you and Mu Rufeng go to get the marriage certificate yesterday? Why are there rumors going around all throughout the school that he's going to marry Xie Yunlu? Don't tell me that you were dumped at the last minute? Has he been cheating on you?"
"The facts are in front of you, so what else do you want me to tell you?" Ye Anxin yawned lazily while looking indifferent, as if the matter didn't affect her mood at all.
"D*mn, I'm going to castrate him!" Ling Yueyue interpreted Ye Anxin's reaction as extreme sorrow, so she stood up angrily and was about to rush outside.
"Forget it. They're even going to have a child together, so there's no point in castrating him." Ye Anxin grabbed Ling Yueyue and continued, "What's more, what does her marriage have to do with me?"
"But..." Ling Yueyue was about to say something more, but before she could speak her mind, Xie Yunlu, who'd just happened to walk in, spoke first, "Yo...I thought you would be weeping miserably today. I didn't expect you to be shameless enough to come to class." With that said, she took out a wedding invitation from her bag and handed it to Ye Anxin while saying provocatively, "This is my and Rufeng's wedding invitation. You must attend when the time comes."
With her hands at her waist, Ling Yueyue stood in front of Ye Anxin and said angrily, "Hey, what do you mean by this, Xie Yunlu? I have never seen someone as shameless as you are. It's bad enough that you stole her man from her, but you're even finding it necessary to rub salt in her wounds."
Xie Yunlu didn't even look at Ling Yueyue. She stared at Ye Anxin fixedly and continued to provoke her. "What? Ye Anxin, are you too cowardly to come to our wedding?"
"Anxin, just ignore her. She's a psychopathic snake!" Afraid that Ye Anxin would accept the wedding invitation on impulse, Ling Yueyue tried to support her friend.
Any normal woman wouldn't go to her ex-boyfriend's wedding anyway. Xie Yunlu had made it clear that she had nefarious intentions, so who knew how she would try and humiliate Ye Anxin at the wedding.
Ye Anxin smiled at her, then reached out to accept the wedding invitation in Xie Yunlu's hand. She said with a smile, "Don't worry, I definitely will be there on time." She said to herself silently: And, when the time comes, don't forget to call me auntie.
"Then I'll see you there." The more calm Ye Anxin was, the more Xie Yunlu felt that she was simply feigning toughness.
On the day of her wedding, she would humiliate her so severely that she wouldn't be able to keep up her proud stance.
At this time, the class leader, Sima Yu, came over. Taking Xie Yunlu's arm affectionately, she said, "Xie Yunlu, we're going to hold a celebration party for you tonight at Mengjie KTV. We'll celebrate in high spirits then."
