During the conversation, Zhou Cuian lifted her head cautiously to glance at Murong Yumeng. Though she didnt articulate her request, the implications were quite clear.

Across from her, Murong Yumeng maintained a smile but remained silent, leaving Zhou Cuian feeling increasingly uneasy.

She couldnt fathom what thoughts lurked behind Murong Yumengs gentle facade. Despite her outward kindness, Zhou Cuian felt a discomfort in her presence, even an impulse to depart immediately. Under Murong Yumengs gentle gaze, she felt utterly exposed, devoid of any secrets.

Time seemed to stretch until the waiter finally interrupted the awkward silence by serving the coffee.

Murong Yumeng took a sip before slowly speaking, So, you want my help, dont you? How exactly do you expect me to help you?

At the beginning of her sentence, Zhou Cuian felt a glimmer of relief, but as Murong continued, she found herself momentarily stunned. She believed she had been explicit in her request: she wanted Murong Yumeng to help her find a well-paying job with room and board included.

However, she couldnt bring herself to voice it directly. After all, she and Murong Yumeng were hardly acquainted. Even her invitation today was predicated on the pretext of Ye Lengans presence. Otherwise, she suspected Murong Yumeng wouldnt have given her the time of day.

Seemingly oblivious to Zhou Cuians discomfort, Murong Yumeng pressed on, Also, arent you Lengans roommate? Why not approach her? If she asks, her fianc can certainly a.s.sist you.

Fianc? Zhou Cuian was taken aback, then puzzled. Senior Sister Murong, are you saying that Ye Lengan already has a fianc?

This revelation caught her off guard. Ye Lengan appeared so young; how could she already be engaged? Moreover, she had never heard Ye Lengan mention anything about a fianc.

What? You didnt know? Murong Yumeng covered her mouth, blinking. I a.s.sumed youd be aware since youre roommates!

When Lengan was in the dorm, she never mentioned her fianc. Zhou Cuian chuckled, attempting to mask her surprise. Perhaps she was worried wed make a.s.sumptions! After all, shes still quite young!

Indeed, Ye Lengan rarely divulged personal details. Hence, despite being roommates, she remained unaware of Ye Lengans family background, only knowing she came from wealth.

Furthermore, despite being from the capital, Ye Lengan had never invited her roommates over, even after a semester had pa.s.sed.

No big deal! Murong Yumeng smiled. Frankly, Lengans comfortable life is thanks to her fianc! Theres nothing to hide!

What? Zhou Cuians eyes widened, processing Murong Yumengs words. Senior Sister Murong, what do you mean?

Murong Yumeng continued candidly, Its no secret. Lengans family isnt well-off. Without her current fiancs help, she wouldnt be living so comfortably! Without him, she might still be struggling to cover tuition and living expenses!

Zhou Cuians eyes gleamed after she heard that. But Lengan doesnt seem like shes from an ordinary family!

Although she trusted Murong Yumeng wouldnt deceive her, it seemed improbable. Given Ye Lengans behavior and demeanor, she seemed well-educated, distinct from ordinary families.

Oh, thats true. Murong Yumeng nodded, a tinge of regret on her face. Lengan indeed hails from a wealthy family, but some mishaps occurred later, causing financial strain. However, since meeting her fianc, her life has improved.

Sugar daddy!

Murong Yumengs account summoned those words in Zhou Cuians mind. Reflecting on Ye Lengans lavish lifestyle, a hint of disdain flickered in her eyes.

Initially envious of Ye Lengans affluent background, she now felt superior. She earned her own money, unlike Ye Lengan, who traded herself for material wealth.

This realization filled her with disdain for Ye Lengan.

Observing Zhou Cuians expression, Murong Yumeng discerned her thoughts. A glint of darkness flashed in her eyes, though her expression remained neutral. Something on your mind?

Nothing. Murong Yumengs interruption halted Zhou Cuians train of thought. Hastily masking her emotions with a smile, she said, I got distracted by something else just now, sorry, Senior Sister!

Its fine. Murong Yumeng shook her head with a smile. Lets drop the subject of Lengan. Junior Sister Zhou, how can I help you?

Zhou Cuian appeared conflicted, unsure of what to say.

How about Murong Yumeng pondered briefly before suggesting, I know of some positions that offer room and board, but the pay might be modest. Would that be acceptable?

Of course. Zhou Cuian was pleasantly surprised. Senior Sister, Im immensely grateful for your help. How could I be picky? Thank you so much for your help.
