Chapter 863: Leaving With Grace

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Hearing Ye Lengans probing, Zhou Cuian found herself at a loss for words and could only choose to remain silent.

Observing Zhou Cuians silence, Ye Lengan didnt express anger. Instead, she sneered a few times, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Seeing Ye Lengans departure, Zhou Cuian panicked. She stepped forward, attempting to reach out and stop her. You cant leave. If you do, what will I do?

She realized she had misspoken, but the words had already slipped out, unretractable.

Regardless, she couldnt allow Ye Lengan to leave. If Ye Lengan did, she would be in deep trouble.

Why cant I leave? Ye Lengan dodged Zhou Cuians hand and looked coldly at her. This is a public place. Why shouldnt I leave? Youre the one who cant leave now. Whats that got to do with me?

How can you do this, Ye Lengan? Zhou Cuian showed clear anxiety. Were roommates, and you know my situation. Do you know how hard it was for me to get to the capital from that small town? If we cant resolve this today, Im done for. Perhaps you could consider it a loan? When I earn money, Ill repay you.

With Ye Lengan refusing to pay, borrowing money seemed the only option. Though repayment would be tough, she was confident she could clear the debt after graduating from Capital University.

Zhou Cuian, are you overestimating yourself or underestimating me? Ye Lengan retorted as if amused by Zhou Cuians words. Why do you think I must help you? Dont you remember what you just said? If you think my money is dirty and yours is clean, why ask to borrow this dirty money from me? Wouldnt it be better to maintain your n.o.ble stance?

Realizing Ye Lengans sarcasm, Zhou Cuian felt regret. She shouldnt have been so forthright; now, she had offended Ye Lengan, who was unwilling to help her.

She could no longer afford to be aloof.

Zhou Cuian took a deep breath, suppressing her disgust and disdain, and humbly said, Lengan, what I said wasnt genuine. Im simply envious of your wealth. Please forgive me and lend a hand. Ill be grateful for life.

No need for that.

Hearing Ye Lengans response, Zhou Cuian felt hopeful. However, Ye Lengans next words shattered her optimism.

Ye Lengan looked at Zhou Cuian with a smirk. Because I never intended to help you.

After saying that, she even gave Zhou Cuian a malicious smile.

Having gone from hope to despair, Zhou Cuian finally realized that Ye Lengan had never intended to help her from the beginning.

Enraged and humiliated, she glared at Ye Lengan. Are you mocking me?

Im not. From the start, I never promised to help you. Ye Lengan shrugged. And since you hold me in such disdain, what right do you have to ask for my help? Dont a.s.sume youre the smartest, and Im no fool. I wont help someone who looks down on me.

With her hope of Ye Lengans a.s.sistance shattered, Zhou Cuian could no longer contain her emotions.

Her face darkened, all traces of pleading vanished, replaced by sheer malice. Yes, I look down on you, Ye Lengan. After what youve done, do you still expect respect from others? Who are you to lecture me, someone whos sold themselves for money? I sought your help today, but that doesnt make me inferior to you. Since you refuse to help, so be it.

Zhou Cuians face twisted with malice. Ye Lengan, do you really think you can live this luxurious life forever? I cant wait to see your fate when your sugar daddy tires of you.

Though I dont know where you heard those rumors, Ye Lengan said calmly, my money is mine alone. As for my future, thats for me to know and you to wonder about. If you dont resolve todays issue, your future wont be bright.

After that, Ye Lengan directly reached out her hand, pushed aside Zhou Cuian blocking her, and then left gracefully.

It was evident Zhou Cuians words did not affect Ye Lengan.

Left behind, Zhou Cuian was stiff. She wanted to call Ye Lengan back, the only one who could help her.

But she had burned bridges with Ye Lengan. Even if she swallowed her pride, Ye Lengan would never help her.

Without hesitation, the salesperson called the police.

It was clear to her the girl couldnt afford the gown. With her last hope gone, calling the police was the only recourse.

There was no other option now but to ensure compensation. Failure to do so would result in severe losses for the shop.

With this realization, the salesperson regarded Zhou Cuian as though she were a fool.

After all, only a fool would push away their only savior like this!
