"Yun Ya, are you really willing to give up? Just like that, you lost to Wei Yumeng?"
Liu Xiaofang could hardly believe that her best friend would just concede defeat.
Pei Yun Ya simply said, "I lost this time, and I have no reason to regret it. Moreover, the teacher's attitude towards me is already very clear. I have no reason to stay any longer."
"But you are clearly very capable. Although you only got second place, your work has become a hot topic these past few days, hasn't it?"
Pei Yun Ya shook her head, "Don't say anything else. My mind is made up, and nothing can change it."
Originally, Liu Xiaofang had asked Pei Yun Ya out today to persuade her to change her current course of action.
Even if she returned to the design industry, Wei Yumeng couldn't do anything to her. Yet, Pei Yun Ya insisted on her original plan, which infuriated Liu Xiaofang.
As her best friend, she had watched Pei Yun Ya's journey step by step to where she was today. She also knew how much effort Pei Yun Ya had put in.
But now, she was giving up just because of Wei Yumeng.
Even after parting ways with Pei Yun Ya, as she walked home, Liu Xiaofang was still unwilling to accept this outcome.
If there was an opportunity to teach Wei Yumeng a lesson, she would not hesitate.
Just at this moment, she happened to walk past a supermarket and, to her surprise, saw the person she had just been thinking about.
Wei Yumeng was simply going to buy ingredients for dinner. She had failed to cook for herself several times before, so taking advantage of having nothing else to do today, she decided to make up for it.
What's more, Zhan Mohan had already dealt with Xu Yuan's matter, and she owed Zhan Mohan a thank you for that.
"I'll make Western food today then."
With that thought, Wei Yumeng entered the supermarket.
Liu Xiaofang watched Wei Yumeng get out of her car and enter the supermarket, and suddenly a plan formed in her mind.
She put on an expression of smugness, as if heaven itself was displeased with Wei Yumeng, and this was the perfect opportunity for her to seize.
So, she deliberately parked her car in front of Wei Yumeng's car and then turned to leave.
She wanted to see how Wei Yumeng would handle this situation.
As expected, about an hour later, Wei Yumeng called Liu Xiaofang.
"Hello, is this Miss Liu? Your car is blocking my car. Could you please move it?"
Wei Yumeng looked at the situation with some distress. Her car was already parked in a somewhat secluded spot, and now someone had blocked her only way out.
Liu Xiaofang, however, deliberately spoke in a tone of feigned difficulty, "Is that so? I'm so sorry, but I'm not in the city right now, so I probably can't come to move it anytime soon."
Wei Yumeng, having some experience, detected an unusual tone in Liu Xiaofang's voice.
Rather than this being an accidental situation, it seemed more like Liu Xiaofang was quite proud of it, her tone even revealing a sense of superiority.
It seemed the other party had done this intentionally, and her claim of not being in the city was likely false.
Wei Yumeng had also heard that some people used this method to extort money, deliberately blocking others' cars and only moving them after being paid.
Adhering to the principle of avoiding trouble, she directly asked, "How much do you want?"
Liu Xiaofang was slightly taken aback, almost failing to realize what Wei Yumeng was referring to.
"How much money do you want to move your car?" Wei Yumeng asked again.
Liu Xiaofang sneered, "Are all you rich people like this? Always thinking that everyone is after your money."
Isn't that the case? Wei Yumeng frowned. What other reason could there be?
"Wei Yumeng, let me tell you, I'm here to make your day unpleasant. How dare you cause Yun Ya to end up like this? It's all your fault!"
Wei Yumeng did not reply immediately. She remembered that Pei Yun Ya had sincerely conceded defeat at the time, so she herself would not have done something like this.
It was more likely that the person on the other end of the phone was someone related to Pei Yun Ya, deliberately doing this for her friend.
"I'm very sorry about Miss Pei's situation, but the competition was fair. Moreover, she was proven to have used underhanded tactics to complete the competition. She should have expected this outcome."
"What do you know! You have no idea how hard Yun Ya has worked in this industry. How can you suddenly appear and snatch away what rightfully belonged to her!"
Liu Xiaofang's tone was filled with anger, "Blocking your car today is already letting you off easy. Let me tell you, I won't let this go."
After speaking, Liu Xiaofang simply hung up the phone.
Wei Yumeng felt a bit stifled. In the end, the problem was not resolved.
Liu Xiaofang was still hiding nearby, wanting to watch Wei Yumeng's distress to improve her own mood.
But at this moment, another luxury car stopped at the intersection near the supermarket, and a man stepped out.
Liu Xiaofang was stunned when she saw the man. It was the first time she had ever seen such a high-quality man.
Zhan Mohan walked towards Wei Yumeng and saw her looking troubled, "What's wrong?"
Wei Yumeng glanced helplessly at her car, and Zhan Mohan understood.
"I've already made a call, but they don't seem willing to cooperate."
Wei Yumeng had no intention of telling Zhan Mohan the specifics of the matter. If Zhan Mohan found out, he might not let Pei Yun Ya off.
She and Pei Yun Ya were already on bad terms, and she didn't want their relationship to become more awkward.
Besides, this wasn't entirely Pei Yun Ya's fault, and she might not even know about it.
Zhan Mohan, however, thought for a moment and made a call.
Before long, a tow truck arrived.
Seeing this scene, Liu Xiaofang could no longer hide. If her car were towed away, it would be a disaster.
"Wait!"
She immediately stopped him, "Wei Yumeng, are you planning to have my car towed away privately like this?"
Wei Yumeng finally saw the other person's appearance. It seemed to be a girl about the same age as Pei Yun Ya.
Just as Wei Yumeng was about to say something, Zhan Mohan pulled her aside, intending to leave.
"If you don't want us to tow your car away, you know what you should do."
Although reluctant, Liu Xiaofang had no choice but to comply. Even as she got into her car, she glared at Wei Yumeng.
She would not let this matter rest!
Wei Yumeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, while this incident was resolved, it reminded her of something.
She hadn't seen Pei Yun Ya since that incident and had no idea how she was doing.
Since her friend could go to such lengths for her, perhaps Pei Yun Ya's situation was worse than she had imagined.
That was not something she wanted to see, so she might need to find time to meet Pei Yun Ya and resolve this matter completely.
She didn't necessarily want Pei Yun Ya to leave the design circle. Everything could still be negotiated.
