Chapter 862: Offending Ye Lengan

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Lengan looked at Zhou Cuian with a wry smile, awaiting her response.

She found it amusing. Her relations.h.i.+p with Zhou Cuian wasnt that close! The other partys air of ent.i.tlement made her wonder where she got the confidence to a.s.sume shed help!

Under Ye Lengans gaze, Zhou Cuians face gradually flushed, her expression changing into one of anger and embarra.s.sment.

However, knowing she needed a favor, she suppressed her inner frustration and resentment.

Lengan, can you put in a good word for me?

With no other option, Zhou Cuian changed her approach. The dress is merely stained now. Im willing to cover the dry-cleaning costs, but buying it is out of the question.

Though she said so, she knew it was impossible. If it were possible, she wouldnt have been held back by the salesperson.

She only said this to prompt Ye Lengan to come up with a solution herself.

Oh. Ye Lengan nodded, then replied, If you think thats feasible, you should discuss it with her yourself. Why do you need my help?

Zhou Cuians expression soured; evidently, she hadnt expected such a response from Ye Lengan.

But I

Zhou Cuian composed herself, trying to hide her resentment. With a look of grievance on her face, she almost looked like she was about to cry. You know they wont agree even if I ask. But youre different. If you put in a good word, they might agree?

At this point, the salesperson stepped forward. Ladies, this gown is brand new, and its material cant be dry-cleaned. We cant agree to that plan. No one, regardless of who it is, can intercede!

Though her tone lacked deference, it was calm and even somewhat amiable.

If Zhou Cuian had been alone, perhaps she wouldnt have been so defiant. But with Ye Lengan present, she dared not act too arrogantly.

As salespeople, they had keen eyes and could tell Ye Lengan wasnt someone to be trifled with.

However, at the same time, there was a faint sense of regret lingering in her heart. If she had known it would turn out like this, she wouldnt have let Zhou Cuian try on this particular dress just now.

Before, she had seen Zhou Cuian as someone with a bit of financial capability. Customers like this, although not extremely wealthy, tend to be somewhat materialistic and would likely spend all their savings to purchase this dress.

Who would have thought that something like this would happen now? After all, she was the one who brought the dress for the customer to try on. If the other party continued to refuse compensation, the final burden of compensation might fall on her. Therefore, until the other party compensated, she would definitely not let them leave.

Even if it meant calling the police, she would ensure the loss was recovered.

The salespersons interjection made Zhou Cuians face paler, and she felt increasingly embarra.s.sed.

Especially when she turned her head, all she saw was Ye Lengans half-smile, as if she had seen through all her thoughts.

In an instant, she felt all her rationality vanish. She looked at Ye Lengan and blurted out, Lengan, I really dont have that much money, can you help me? How about you just buy this dress? After all, this dress is no different from an ordinary outfit for you.

Seeing Zhou Cuians matter-of-fact demeanor, Ye Lengan was almost dumbfounded. Her smile didnt disappear, but her tone grew colder. Zhou Cuian, do you even know what youre saying?

Zhou Cuian completely missed the coldness in Ye Lengans tone. Since she had already spoken her mind, she had nothing to hold back.

Lengan, this is just a small amount of money for you, isnt it? Im not asking you to commit murder or arson. Im just asking you to buy this dress. Its not difficult at all. Were all roommates, so its only right for you to help me!

Ye Lengan was almost amused. Are you saying that I should fork out over three hundred thousand just because youre my roommate? Well, your roommate seems quite valuable!

Actually, if Zhou Cuian had approached her nicely, she might have tried to help. But Zhou Cuians presumptuous att.i.tude was quite off-putting. It was as if she was obligated to help.

In reality, they were just roommates, and they hadnt even lived together for long.

Zhou Cuian wasnt naive; she naturally caught the sarcasm in Ye Lengans words.

Even before Ye Lengan appeared, she had been dealing with the salesperson for a long time. Combined with her inner anxiety, she had been in a tense state.

She had initially thought Ye Lengans appearance would be a G.o.dsend, but now, she was met with mockery. This caused the string of rationality in her mind to snap. When she looked at Ye Lengan, her eyes were filled with hatred and disdain. Ye Lengan, who do you think you are? Do you really think youre some rich girl? Youre just someone supported by a man. What right do you have to look down on me? At least every penny I spend is earned by myself. Youre just a gold digger; whats so great about that!

As soon as she said that, all eyes in the room fell on Ye Lengan.

Under the scrutiny of so many people, Ye Lengans eyes flashed with understanding. Her expression remained unchanged, and she calmly said, Who told you Im supported by a man?

No wonder Zhou Cuians att.i.tude was so strange when they met last time! So she had such thoughts! She just didnt know who had misled her.

As soon as the words were out, Zhou Cuian regretted it. Because now Ye Lengan was the only one who could help her, but she had offended her with her tactlessness.

However, even though she regretted it, she didnt mention Murong Yumeng.

Before, Senior Sister Murong had helped her a lot. She couldnt repay kindness with ingrat.i.tude by exposing her.
