"An Le wants to quit the club?"

"Um, she said it's for health reasons, but... I always feel like there's more to it. I messaged Spencer this morning, and still haven't received a reply..."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yun felt utterly confused,

"With you, President, joining us, we still had four people, but if An Le also leaves, we will be short of people."

Hearing this, Yan Huan rubbed his head with a slight headache,

"I understand, let me look into it."

"Thank you, President."

The successive pieces of bad news tangled Yan Huan's previously relaxed thoughts like a ball of yarn.

Especially the matter about Spencer's mother…

Golden Lion Group, that's an entity many times more exaggerated than Ye International.

Even though Lin Gate is across the ocean and not in the native land of Hawk Country, don't forget, Golden Lion Group was the first and largest investor in Lin Gate.

And Spencer's mother is the helmsman of this monopolistic giant.

If such a person wants Spencer to leave, it is hard to say who could change her mind.

"..."

First, try to get in touch with Spencer and see what her current situation is.

In the stairwell, looking at the clouds gathering in the sky, Yan Huan thought to himself.

...

...

At this moment, at the top of Golden Lion Building.

"Miss Spencer! Miss Spencer, please come down!"

The teacher in charge of Spencer's academic affairs, followed by a bunch of nervous-looking men in black, looked up at Spencer standing outside the second-floor railing, fearing she might fall.

"I won't! Unless you let me stay at Yuanyue Academy!"

"Okay, I promise you, just come down, don't hurt yourself, you got injured just yesterday, if again..."

"Put it in writing!"

"..."

"You... you're lying!"

The teacher below, with a helpless face, asked,

"But didn't we agree earlier? You had agreed yourself, no matter the outcome of the club competition, you would take a leave of absence and leave, how come you back out now?"

Hearing the teacher say this, Spencer's face showed a visibly guilty expression.

She probably might have, indeed, said that.

"Oh, I don't care, I've changed my mind! No matter what, I want to stay!"

"If President Spencer agrees then of course there's no problem, but the problem is the President didn't approve and I can't do anything about it."

"..."

"If Miss Spencer you continue like this, I will have no choice but to call the President to deal with this!"

"..."

Mentioning this, Spencer fell silent.

Because she indeed heard what her mother said to her on the phone yesterday.

She stopped talking, the teacher below also fell silent waiting for her response, just hanging in this standoff.

After a moment of silence, Spencer's eyes darted about, then she suddenly changed her tone,

"Alright, then you go prepare the car, I'll go with you to Yuanyue today to take leave of absence."

"Good, good, I'll arrange it right away."

"And get these people to help me buy some stuff!"

Watching the teacher leaving, while the others were still standing there, Spencer quickly began assigning tasks.

One to buy some snacks, another to buy some milk tea, another to buy some cartridges...

Soon, everyone below was gone.

"I'll go change in my bedroom, come up to pick me up when you're ready."

"Good, I'll handle it."

"..."

Seeing the teacher finally turn away and leave, Spencer then turned and walked towards her bedroom.

However, as soon as she entered the bedroom, she angrily flipped her own sleeve, looking at the wristband that monitored her health.

She snorted lightly and yanked the wristband off,

"Not only leaving me alone in Lin Gate, but also even though I've already won the club competition...

"Finally accomplishing something, no one praises me, still saying I haven't proven in this month that I can take care of myself..."

She turned around, opened the wardrobe, and casually threw a few clothes inside.

While throwing, she muttered softly,

"They won't let me stay, yet they keep asking me to do this and that, I just won't do it!

"Watch me dismantle all these things that are watching me, and then hide in a place where none of you can find me!"

After packing the clothes, she took her wallet from the bedside table, then heaved her suitcase up with one hand to avoid making any noise.

"Click~"

She opened the door and cautiously peeked out, groping her way down from the second floor, and picked up her phone and charger from the sofa.

"..."

Taking advantage of their absence, Spencer hurried out the door and pressed the button for the private elevator she used to get downstairs.

Inside the elevator, she finally turned on her phone and saw messages from Yan Huan and Jiang Yun in the chat.

"I didn't see you at school this morning."

This was a message from Yan Huan, actually hinting at Spencer about whether she had decided to stay last night, but…

Spencer, being a complete fool, couldn't understand his implication and instead said irritably,

"Huh? I was trapped at home by that old witch all morning, of course, I couldn't come to school!"

Spencer typed a few words, but for some reason, although she intended to express her feelings, she felt they were inappropriate after several attempts.

So she typed and deleted repeatedly…

She never had such troubles before.

"Ugh, it's so annoying, I don't know what to reply... I'll reply him later…"

Unable to decide on a response, Spencer pouted and opened Jiang Yun's chat box,

"Spencer, did you come to school today? An Le said she wants to quit the club, did something happen that I didn't know about?

"She was just discharged from the hospital today but she didn't come to school since she went home. I couldn't ask her in person.

"If possible, please ask her for the real reason, because if she's gone, we'll only have three members left."

An Le…

Seeing the message about An Le quitting the club made Spencer's heart skip a beat.

She bit her lip and opened An Le's chat box, originally wanting to inquire, but she saw that the messages sent yesterday remained unanswered till today.

"…"

"Ding Dong~"

The first floor.

Spencer looked at the silent chat box, feeling a bit uneasy inside.

Maybe it's better to go find An Le first.

She went home today; I know her address.

No matter what, I at least need to clarify things...

It was the first time Spencer had made friends, so she was at a loss for how to deal with An Le's current cold treatment, like a silent storm.

Thus, the only solution she could think of was to go find An Le.

Face to face, to clarify everything.

The elevator doors opened, and with that thought, Spencer closed her phone.

Then she grabbed her suitcase and dashed straight out of the lobby, running outside.

Outside, the weather in Lin Gate was gloomy today, one sign of spring's arrival: more rain.

At that moment, the scene of the girl with a suitcase rushing to hail a cab was fully seen by a teacher standing behind in the lobby.

She watched Spencer getting into the cab without interjecting, just sighed softly, and picked up the phone to make a call.

After a brief pause, the call was connected,

"President, it seems Miss Spencer has reached her rebellious phase... Just as you predicted, she shut us out and ran away from home."

"…"

"… You're coming to Lin Gate in a few days?! Didn't you tell Miss Spencer about this? Then we..."

"…"

"… I understand."

The teacher nodded in response to some instruction received, then silently listened as the call was hung up.

She then looked up and gazed at the taxi growing distant and instructed the men in black, who had originally been sent to buy various things,

"Follow her but stay out of sight unless she is in danger; do not let her notice."

"Understood, madam."

The men in black filed out, getting into their cars and following the direction of the departing taxi.

The destination: the Luqiao District where An Le resided.

Just then, as if the heavens were uncooperative, the clouds grew thicker, carrying the scent of ocean tears…

It was going to rain.
