Chapter 860: The Conflict

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Lengan, please dont leave!

Zhou Cuian, who had been arguing with the salesperson, felt as if she had found a lifeline when she spotted Ye Lengan. Hastily, she called out to her.

Earlier, she had hesitated when Murong Yumeng invited her to a banquet. Initially, she declined the invitation. However, Murong Yumengs offer was too enticing to resist.

If she were still the naive girl from the countryside, she would never dare attend such an event. However, ever since she worked in that luxury store and witnessed the opulent lifestyle in the capital, she couldnt return to her former simplicity. She was now completely enamored with the lavish life.

She yearned for wealth and freedom, just like those rich young ladies. Although she despised Ye Lengan for her relations.h.i.+p with a wealthy man, deep down, she envied Ye Lengans lifestyle.

Especially when she recalled how effortlessly Ye Lengan spent hundreds of thousands in the luxury store, she couldnt suppress her longing.

But she was just a girl from a small town with no chance of entering the upper echelons of the capital, let alone finding a wealthy boyfriend.

Murong Yumengs invitation was her ticket to the elite society, so she couldnt refuse.

However, as the banquet drew nearer, she realized she lacked a suitable dress.

Though she had bought some branded clothes after working at the luxury store, they were mostly casual wear. She hadnt antic.i.p.ated attending a banquet, so she hadnt considered buying a dress.

She had intended to buy one earlier but forgot due to work.

So today, she went shopping at the mall, armed with over 20,000 from previous kickbacks and an advance on her salary. She now had a total of 30,000.

She believed this sum would suffice for a beautiful dress.

However, the reality was harsh. If she had been shopping in an ordinary branded store, that amount of money would have certainly been more than enough.

However, considering that Murong Yumeng was from the Murong family and the banquet she was attending was surely of high caliber, clothes from regular brands might not be suitable. So, in the end, she gritted her teeth and made her way to the luxury store section. She felt that after spending all her money today, she would definitely be able to afford a dress.

However, in the end, reality taught her a lesson. Her presumed fortune was far from sufficient in the face of those luxury store dresses.

The clothes there were superior, but their prices were exorbitant. Even the cheapest clothes cost tens of thousands, let alone a dress. The cheapest dress was over 100,000.

Seeing the prices, Zhou Cuian decided to leave.

But before she could, the salesperson approached and enthusiastically introduced her to the dresses.

Zhou Cuian couldnt bring herself to leave, having once worked in a luxury store herself. She had bowed and flattered customers back then to improve her performance and earn more commission.

Now in the customers shoes, she found it oddly satisfying.

She enjoyed the attention and kept telling herself she might as well stay since it didnt cost her anything.

With this mindset, Zhou Cuian let the salesperson lead her to the dresses.

Eventually, she stopped in awe at a black gown. It was stunning, unlike anything she had seen before.

Sensing her interest, the salesperson persuaded her further, even allowing her to try it on. If she didnt like it, that was okay.

The more Zhou Cuian looked, the more she liked it. Unable to resist, she entered the fitting room with the gown.

When she emerged wearing it, even she was amazed. It seemed tailor-made for her, transforming her into a princess.

But when she saw the price, she snapped back to reality.

The gown cost over 300,00, more than ten times her entire savings.

She changed out of the gown, claiming she didnt like it. As she put it down, she prepared to leave.

But before she could exit, the salesperson caught up, accompanied by others. They surrounded her.

The gown, now stained with foundation, couldnt be let go. The salesperson insisted Zhou Cuian buy it.

Zhou Cuian didnt have that much money, and even if she did, she wouldnt spend it all on a dress. So she refused without hesitation

This led to a heated dispute between them.

When the salesperson threatened to call the police, Zhou Cuian panicked. Just then, she spotted a familiar figure outside the shop and hurriedly called out.

Ye Lengan hadnt intended to intervene, but upon seeing Zhou Cuian involved, she paused and entered the luxury store.

Although she didnt know what had transpired, it was clear the store wouldnt let Zhou Cuian leave. Thus, she followed inside.
