Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Soon, Murong Yumeng and Zhou Cuian were seated again.

Perhaps because Murong Yumeng had agreed to help, Zhou Cuian heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down. At this moment, she was immensely grateful to Murong Yumeng.

Senior Sister Murong, I really appreciate what youve done this time, Zhou Cuian said, looking at Murong Yumeng as if she were her savior. If it werent for you, I wouldnt know what to do.

In fact, to Zhou Cuian, Murong Yumeng was indeed like a savior. If Murong Yumeng hadnt been willing to help, her future would have been ruined. Murong Yumengs a.s.sistance this time was as crucial as a lifeline to her.

Its nothing. Murong Yumeng smiled and shook her head. However, Junior Sister Zhou, I can help you this time, but if theres a next time, I cant condone such actions.

Though Murong Yumengs words were stern, Zhou Cuian was willing to heed them. Senior Sister Murong, I was acting impulsively this time. I promise there wont be a next time.

As she spoke, grat.i.tude and admiration filled her eyes as she looked at Murong Yumeng. Senior Sister Murong, youre my benefactor now. Whatever you ask of me in the future, even if its something drastic, I wont hesitate.

Of course, she was exaggerating, and she wouldnt agree to anything illegal. After all, she didnt want to delve into a life of crime. That was why she had sought Murong Yumengs help today. She felt confident speaking so boldly because she believed Murong Yumeng wouldnt make things difficult for her.

What are you talking about! Murong Yumeng laughed, shaking her head. Im not that kind of person. However, this should serve as a lesson.

Ill definitely learn from this, Zhou Cuian replied, pus.h.i.+ng the bank card towards Murong Yumeng. Senior Sister Murong, please help me return this money to the company. I cant face my superiors.

When she had approached Murong Yumeng, she had already resigned herself to relinquis.h.i.+ng this money, as it was not entirely legitimate. Now, seeking Murong Yumengs help, she wanted to ensure the money was returned to the company.

Though it had been her plan all along, parting with the money still caused her pain. She had already envisioned how to spend it, and it would have undoubtedly improved her appearance and lifestyle in the city.

Noticing Zhou Cuians hesitation, Murong Yumengs disdain grew, though she kept a composed expression. Its fine. Since Im allowing you to keep it, then keep it! The company doesnt need this small amount of money. Since they wont pursue the matter, they wont take it back.

How can that be!

Despite her protests, Zhou Cuian couldnt tear her eyes away from the bank card. This is a bribe I received, which doesnt belong to me. Im just relieved the company wont investigate further. How can I keep this money?

Though she sounded n.o.ble, she was still tempted. After all, twenty thousand was a significant sum to her. If she kept it, she could buy many things and make her next semester much easier.

However, she didnt dare to keep it, fearing Murong Yumeng would see her as greedy. She couldnt afford for Murong Yumeng to dislike her, as she owed everything to her.

Murong Yumeng noticed Zhou Cuians greed but didnt show her disdain. Its fine. Since I said you could keep it, then keep it! Besides, youre working hard to pay for tuition and living expenses next semester, right? Though its not much, it can still ease some of your financial burden.

Zhou Cuian couldnt bring herself to return the money, so she relented under Murong Yumengs persuasion. I Then I wont refuse Senior Sister Murongs kindness.

With that, she took the bank card and stowed it in her bag. A smile of relief spread across her face.

After Zhou Cuian put away the bank card, Murong Yumeng took a sip of her coffee and asked with a smile, By the way, Junior Sister Zhou, Ive been busy lately and forgot to ask. Hows everything at the company? How are you getting along with your colleagues?

Touched by Murong Yumengs concern, Zhou Cuian replied, Senior Sister Murong, everythings going well for me. She hesitated briefly, feeling remorseful. Im just sorry I disappointed you.

Its okay. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, Murong Yumeng rea.s.sured her. Oh, and are you planning to stay in the capital for the New Year?

Zhou Cuian nodded. The holiday isnt long, so Ill stay in the company dorms. Its a waste of time and money to travel back and forth.

Most importantly, she didnt want to return to her hometown for the New Year.

Wouldnt that be lonely? Murong Yumeng frowned, then suddenly brightened. Oh, Im attending a banquet during the New Year. Would you like to join me? And Ill introduce you to my friend, Xiao Lingling. Shes my good friend and a student at Capital University. I think you two would get along.
