Chapter 810: Misunderstanding

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Though Zhou Cuian still didnt know what kind of job Murong Yumeng had introduced her to, she felt quite excited.

Murong Yumeng was the young lady of the Murong family. No matter how mediocre the job she recommended might be, it wouldnt be too shabby.

And if the job happened to be within a company under the Murong familys banner, that would be even better. Given that her home wasnt in the capital, finding work here after graduation would prove quite challenging. However, if she could land a gig in a major corporation now, everything would change.

As long as she performed well at the company, especially with Murong Yumengs recommendation, there might even be more holiday job opportunities in the future. With time, there was a good chance she could land an interns.h.i.+p within the company upon graduation, securing her place for the future.

All right, someone will be in touch with you in a couple of days, Murong Yumeng said, checking her watch. Its getting late, and I have other matters to attend to. Ill take my leave now.

With that, Murong Yumeng rose from her seat.

Okay. Zhou Cuian hastily got up, bowing deeply to Murong Yumeng. When she straightened up, her face was filled with grat.i.tude. Thank you so much, Senior Sister Murong. I wouldnt know what to do without your help.

Its just a piece of cake. Murong Yumeng smiled, shaking her head. Besides, you and Lengan are roommates. Its only right for me to help.

At the mention of Ye Lengan again, Zhou Cuians smile faltered. After a moments thought, she cautiously asked, Senior Sister Murong, are you close to Lengan?

Knowing that Murong Yumeng was granting her this opportunity because of Ye Lengan, Zhou Cuian found it hard to articulate her feelings. It felt as though everything she received was somehow connected to Ye Lengan.

This notion was difficult for her to accept. Moreover, it was clear that Murong Yumeng had a genuine fondness for Ye Lengan. However, Zhou Cuian had observed in their dormitory that Ye Lengan didnt reciprocate those feelings. She couldnt bear to see Murong Yumengs kindness being taken advantage of by Ye Lengan.

In fact, I quite like Lengan, Murong Yumeng smiled in response. She seems like a talented and outstanding individual. I genuinely want to befriend her. I even invited her to join the student council before. Unfortunately, she claimed to be too busy and declined.

Ye Lengan isnt as good as you think she is, Zhou Cuian interjected anxiously. She doesnt like you at all, and she even speaks ill of you. Please dont be deceived by her.

What? Murong Yumengs expression fell as if struck by a blow. Are you sure about what youre saying? Lengan is definitely not like that. You must have misunderstood her.

I didnt misunderstand! If theres any misunderstanding, its you misunderstanding her. Youre mistaken to think shes a good person, Zhou Cuian insisted urgently. She already resents you because of the school belle selection. Although she claims not to care about it, shes actually just afraid of losing. From her words, I can tell she doesnt hold you in high regard. Remember when you sent someone to meet her downstairs? You dont know how arrogant she was. She directly told the messenger that you could leave if you couldnt wait. But the truth is, she had nothing important to attend to; she was just lazing around in the dormitory. Her ultimate goal was simply to make you wait.

No, that cant be. Murong Yumeng shook her head, seeming hesitant to believe the allegations. Lengan, she

As she trailed off, she appeared unable to continue. Her face bore an expression of sadness as if she had been betrayed by a trusted friend.

Senior Sister Murong, I didnt want to tell you, Zhou Cuian confessed, her lips pursed. But I couldnt bear to see you being deceived by Ye Lengan. Youre such a good person; its not worth being upset over someone like her.

Murong Yumeng shook her head again, insisting, Junior Sister Zhou, I know you mean well, but I believe Lengan is not like that. In fact, if you observe her closely in the dormitory, youll see that shes genuinely a good person. She wouldnt engage in such two-faced behavior.

After hearing Murong Yumengs response, Zhou Cuian felt both anxious and unsure how to persuade her further to believe her. Senior Sister Murong, everything Ive said is true. Otherwise, Ill tell you everything about Ye Lengans behavior in the dormitory. Then youll see, shes not a good person at all.

Zhou Cuian was confident she could find evidence to convince Murong Yumeng that Ye Lengan was not to be trusted.

Murong Yumengs eyes flashed with a hint of pride, but she shook her head nonetheless. You dont need to do that. If Lengan finds out, shell surely be angry with me.

Okay, Senior Sister, please dont try to dissuade me, Zhou Cuian interjected quickly. What I do in the future is my own business. Dont worry about it. Dont you have other matters to attend to? Dont let me delay you.

Fine! Murong Yumeng glanced at her watch once more before speaking firmly. Junior Sister, Ill take my leave now.

With that, she hastily departed.

Unbeknownst to Zhou Cuian, as Murong Yumeng turned away, her face displayed no extra emotions. Only a cold, steely glint flickered in her eyes.

At that moment, Murong Yumeng had shed all traces of gentleness. Even her iconic smile had vanished entirely. If anyone had witnessed this, they would never believe that this was the same gentle and charming Miss Murong they knew.

Left behind, Zhou Cuian didnt immediately leave. Instead, she leisurely sipped her coffee.

She had never experienced such relaxation before, especially since she never drank coffee on ordinary days. Today, she seized the opportunity to bask in the leisurely atmosphere. Meanwhile, she pondered over Murong Yumengs words.
