Chapter 866: I misjudged Her

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Upon hearing Murong Yumengs words, Zhou Cuian was deeply moved. Especially when she considered the strikingly different att.i.tudes of Ye Lengan and Murong Yumeng, her admiration for Murong Yumeng soared.

Senior Sister, youre truly kind-hearted, Zhou Cuian couldnt help but exclaim. Meeting you is undoubtedly the luckiest thing in my life.

However, Murong Yumeng shook her head with a smile. Youre too polite. Since Im your senior sister, its only natural for me to lend a helping hand where I can.

At this point, Murong Yumeng paused and then lifted the bag beside her, pa.s.sing it to Zhou Cuian. Junior Sister Zhou, since you insist on repaying me, consider this dress yours. I cant let you pay without receiving anything in return!

Naturally, Murong Yumeng could discern what had happened with Zhou Cuian earlier that day. The fact that Zhou Cuian wanted to see the dress now indicated the impending banquet she had mentioned before.

However, Zhou Cuian had clearly overestimated herself. Without the status to justify it, she still dared to try on the dress in such a place. She deserved what she got.

Nevertheless, it was opportune for Murong Yumeng to go along with it now. Presumably, Zhou Cuian also needed the dress. Although it was slightly stained, it was not too noticeable. However, the dress couldnt be washed. What Zhou Cuian did with it was not her concern. She was merely doing a favor.

As Zhou Cuians eyes brightened upon receiving the bag from Murong Yumeng, it was evident she was deeply moved by her words. However, a hint of hesitation lingered on her face. Theres no need, Senior sister. Youve helped me today; I cant be so ungrateful.

Despite her words, Zhou Cuians gaze remained fixed on the bag in Murong Yumengs hands.

After todays events, Zhou Cuian was well aware that buying a suitable dress for the banquet was nearly impossible. Although the dress in Murong Yumengs bag was slightly dirty, she could still wear it with some cleaning.

With this dress, she could confidently attend the banquet.

Yet, despite her intention to repay the money, she was just a student now. 300,000 yuan was a significant sum for her. Therefore, she naturally couldnt ask for the dress back.

Now that Murong Yumeng had offered, Zhou Cuian was tempted. However, she felt taking it would appear too greedy.

Its alright. Murong Yumeng pushed the dress towards Zhou Cuian, smiling. Its just a dress. Its of no use to me. Besides, youve paid for it. How can I take it back?

After Murong Yumengs repeated persuasion, Zhou Cuian was ultimately moved. She nodded. Thank you, Senior Sister Murong. It would be impolite of me to refuse. Ill remember your kindness and repay you in the future.

Hehe, theres no need for that. Murong Yumeng smiled and shook her head. Its nothing. You dont have to take it to heart. Besides, weve met so many times; we should be considered friends! Helping each other as friends is only natural.

Observing Murong Yumengs sincere expression, Zhou Cuian was touched. Senior Sister Murong, its an honor to have you as a friend.

Watching Zhou Cuians touching expression, Murong Yumeng wore a smile on her face, but the occasional flashes of disdain and disgust in her eyes revealed her true feelings.

While Zhou Cuian was completely taken in by Murong Yumengs kindness and didnt sense her true feelings, Ye Lengans mood was affected by Zhou Cuian, prompting her to end her shopping trip and return home.

Upon her return, she found Huangfu Ruiling in the living room, her expression slightly surprised.

Have you settled everything? I thought this matter might be a bit tricky!

Everythings been taken care of.

Huangfu Ruiling rose and joined Ye Lengan on the sofa, asking casually, And you? Werent you supposed to go shopping today? Why are you back so soon?

Ye Lengan recounted her encounter with Zhou Cuian at the mall without hiding anything.

The more Huangfu Ruiling listened, the colder his expression became, emitting an icy aura.

Seeing his change, Ye Lengan reached out and held his arm, smiling. Dont be angry. She was just talking nonsense. Even I, the one directly involved, am not angry. Whats there for you to be angry about?

Her life must be too smooth, so she has plenty of time to meddle in other peoples affairs! Huangfu Ruiling maintained his composure, but each word seemed to freeze. So, in the end, shes just too comfortable.

Ye Lengan shook her head and then smiled. Zhou Cuians words shouldnt be taken lightly. Someone must have been poisoning her mind in front of her. Otherwise, her att.i.tude wouldnt have changed so drastically.

Thinking about it, Zhou Cuians change wasnt sudden. She had noticed Zhou Cuians odd behavior before. However, she hadnt thought much of it at the time.

Now it seemed someone had been speaking ill of her in front of Zhou Cuian for a while, leading to her change in att.i.tude.

If Zhou Cuian hadnt been pushed to her limit today and her psychological defenses hadnt been shattered, she wouldnt have spoken so recklessly.

Huangfu Ruiling furrowed his brow. So youre saying Zhou Cuian was just being manipulated?

I dont know if she was manipulated. Ye Lengans lips curled into a sarcastic smile. But shes not innocent. I initially thought she was a simple and honest person. After all, she came from a small place, and besides studying, she didnt have many other interests in life. She shouldve been quite innocent. Now I realize my judgment wasnt so good! I completely misjudged her.
