Chapter 898: An Overwhelming Change
Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, the new year was over. Winter vacation ended, and it was time to go back to school.
After the winter break, Ye Lengan successfully obtained her drivers license. For convenience, she drove straight to school.
However, this didnt cause much of a stir. Previously, considering the universitys relatively simple environment, she had bought a modest car costing just two to three hundred thousand. Although not cheap, such a car wasnt very conspicuous on campus.
After all, this was the capital, and many families could afford cars. A vehicle worth a couple hundred thousand wasnt particularly eye-catching at the university.
Ye Lengan returned to the dormitory a day early. The moment she entered, she saw Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei already packing their belongings. Clearly, these two had come back a little earlier than her.
Lengan, youre back! Zhu Bixuan greeted her first. How was your winter vacation?
Not bad. Ye Lengan smiled and nodded. When did you two get back?
Just now. Zhu Bixuan complained as she packed, Almost a month away, and these blankets smell musty now. Not enough time to air them out properly.
Hearing Zhu Bixuans grumbling, Ye Lengan just smiled, saying nothing more.
Ling Weiwei quietly packed her own things, her demeanor calm a far cry from the arrogant att.i.tude she had at the start of the school year.
Observing this new Ling Weiwei, Ye Lengan couldnt help marveling inwardly. University really could change people!
When Zhou Cuian first arrived, she came across as an earnest, honest girl. Yet now she seemed to have become vain. Conversely, Ling Weiwei, initially presumed to be an arrogant brat, appeared much more composed these days.
Hey, Zhou Cuian isnt here yet! Zhu Bixuan remarked after looking around. I thought shed be the first one back! I heard she stayed in the capital for a holiday job. Why is she so late?
Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed across Ye Lengans eyes. She set down her things and began unpacking, not uttering a word.
For a while, the three roommates busied themselves with their respective tasks in the small dorm room, occasionally exchanging a few words in the harmonious atmosphere.
However, at that moment, the door abruptly swung open, and Zhou Cuian barged in wheeling her luggage, shattering the peaceful ambiance.
After the winter break, Zhou Cuian had undergone a drastic transformation. Her face was dolled up with exquisite makeup, and she wore a well-fitted branded dress. Her previously straight long hair was now styled in big curly waves, and an expensive-looking diamond bracelet adorned her wrist.
One could say Zhou Cuian had completely reinvented herself, shedding her former simple, rustic demeanor to become a modern city belle.
Surprise flickered in Ye Lengans eyes. She could tell Zhou Cuians entire outfit easily cost over a hundred thousand. No holiday job could possibly earn that much in just one winter vacation.
Zhou Cuian strutted into the room, head held high and chest puffed out, radiating an air of confidence as she beamed at her three roommates. Didnt expect you all to be back so early!
During this time, Zhou Cuian had lived quite comfortably. Ever since attending that banquet, she frequently met up with Huangfu Shaohua for dates. The clothes she now wore were all gifts from him.
After a few such outings, she had already agreed to become Huangfu Shaohuas girlfriend.
Since becoming his girlfriend, she felt her life had peaked. Huangfu Shaohua was very generous, often lavis.h.i.+ng her with expensive gifts and taking her shopping. This made her feel like she had ascended into the capitals high society.
Not long after getting together with Huangfu Shaohua, she had already become his kept woman. She had no regrets about this and had even resolved to find a way to tie him down as his official wife.
She was different from Ye Lengan. She would never stoop so low as to become someones secret mistress. Now that she had become Huangfu Shaohuas woman, she was determined to marry him properly.
Thinking this, Zhou Cuian shot Ye Lengan a disdainful look.
Unlike Ye Lengan, she definitely did not want to end up currying favor with some old man just to lead an affluent life.
Although Murong Yumeng had never explicitly stated that Ye Lengans so-called fianc was elderly, Zhou Cuian was convinced he must be an old man.
Otherwise, why had she never seen this supposed fianc come looking for Ye Lengan? Moreover, Ye Lengan had never breathed a word about him!
If he truly were some young, eligible bachelor, how could he be too shy to meet people?
Bewildered by Zhou Cuians strange gaze, Ye Lengan ignored her and continued unpacking.
Wow, Cuian, you seem completely different! Zhu Bixuan exclaimed in astonishment. What did you do this winter vacation to earn so much money?
There was no ulterior motive behind Zhu Bixuans words merely curiosity.
However, Zhou Cuian appeared to have misunderstood, freezing momentarily before smiling and explaining, I didnt buy these. Theyre all gifts from my boyfriend.
As she spoke, she shot Ye Lengan a smug glance.
She wanted Ye Lengan to know she was no longer the impoverished Zhou Cuian of the past.
Previously at the mall, Ye Lengan had so humiliated her. Zhou Cuian remembered it all too well and would definitely not let her get away with it.
You have a boyfriend? Zhu Bixuan sounded surprised. I didnt expect youd get one in just this winter break!
Neither Ye Lengan nor Ling Weiwei reacted not even sparing Zhou Cuian a glance as they busied themselves, leaving her words hanging.
This irked Zhou Cuian, who smiled and said outright, Yes! I met him at a banquet. Come to think of it, if not for Lengan, I might not have had such an opportunity!
