Chapter 899: Her Boyfriend
Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation
Suddenly called out, Ye Lengan was momentarily stunned. She never expected this matter to involve her. Raising an eyebrow, she didnt respond, though the confusion was clear on her face.
Zhu Bixuan glanced between Ye Lengan and Zhou Cuian, a hint of gossip in her eyes. Cuian, whats going on here? Dont tell me Lengan brought you to that banquet?
Though she said that, it was meant as a mere joke. From their interactions last semester, she knew Ye Lengan and Zhou Cuian shared no deep bond just pride at most. Under such circ.u.mstances, she couldnt imagine Ye Lengan having the leisure for that.
No, thats not it. Zhou Cuian shook her head, a sarcastic edge to her voice. Because of Lengan, I got to know Senior Sister Murong! You probably dont know, but she introduced my winter job. She even brought me to a high society banquet. Thats where I met my current boyfriend. You see, all thanks to Lengan!
Realization dawned in Ye Lengans eyes. She had a rough idea of what happened, though she didnt expect Zhou Cuian to get entangled with Murong Yumeng.
She just didnt know Murong Yumengs true intentions and didnt believe that woman performed good deeds every day.
Why are you hanging around Murong Yumeng? Zhu Bixuan couldnt help but frown. She
Before she could finish, Zhou Cuian cut her off. Senior Sister Murong is a good person whos helped me a lot. Unlike some people who clearly could help but chose to watch me suffer instead.
As she spoke, Zhou Cuian shot Ye Lengan a pointed look.
She hadnt forgotten the mall incident. If not for Ye Lengans refusal to help, she wouldnt have been left in that humiliating situation. They were all roommates! Yet Ye Lengan heartlessly abandoned her to face that ridicule alone.
Had Senior Sister Murong not intervened, Zhou Cuian mightve truly ended up at the police station, her plight made public knowledge. If that happened, she couldnt possibly remain at this university.
Compared to Ye Lengans inaction, Senior Sister Murong was a kind fairy.
Seeing Zhou Cuians expression, Zhu Bixuan wanted to say more but was stopped by Ling Weiwei.
Bixuan, dont, Ling Weiwei calmly interjected. Cuians not a child anymore. She has her own judgment. As outsiders, we shouldnt advise her too much.
Zhou Cuian clearly wouldnt listen to anyone else she had convinced herself Murong Yumeng was good. If so, why bother playing the villain?
Understanding Ling Weiweis point, Zhu Bixuan finally chose to remain silent after glancing at Zhou Cuians demeanor.
However, Zhou Cuian clearly had no intention of dropping it. Eyeing the other three with a hint of smugness, she continued, In a few days, when I have time, Ill ask my boyfriend to treat you all to dinner! We can meet up then, so youll recognize him on the street. Oh, I havent even told you my boyfriends name! Its Huangfu Shaohua, from the Huangfu family one of the four major families of the capital.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei immediately looked at Zhou Cuian, eyes wide with disbelief.
Although not capital natives, theyd heard of the four major families not just the capitals elite aristocracy, but among the entire nations n.o.bility. One had to know Murong Yumengs fame at Capital University stemmed largely from her own Murong family belonging to that esteemed quartet.
Who could have imagined Zhou Cuians boyfriend hailed from the Huangfu family? What insane luck was this?
Ye Lengan didnt outwardly react much, but hearing Huangfu Shaohuas name did make her eyes flicker with surprise.
Seeing the shock on Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiweis faces filled Zhou Cuian with satisfaction.
All this time in the dorm, her family background paled in comparison to the others. For that reason alone, she always felt inferior to her three roommates.
But now, everything was different. She was Huangfu Shaohuas girlfriend now, set to marry into the Huangfu family. By then, she would indisputably be the one living best. Perhaps the others might even come currying favor!
However, Ye Lengans indifference still irked her.
Lengan, I hear you seem to have a fianc too. Is that true? Zhou Cuian immediately turned her sights on Ye Lengan, a smile playing on her lips. Why dont you bring him out together when the time comes? Itll be good for everyone to get acquainted!
She didnt believe Ye Lengan would willingly bring out her so-called fianc. Just some rich old man, no doubt. If truly introduced, everyone would know she was a mere plaything for the wealthy elderly.
Lengan, youre actually engaged? Zhu Bixuan exclaimed in surprise. How come you never mentioned it before?
Nothing worth mentioning, Ye Lengan said evenly. We got engaged that summer after graduating high school. He keeps a low profile and doesnt like meeting strangers.
Seeing Ye Lengans reluctance to elaborate, Zhu Bixuan laughed awkwardly, rubbing her nose before falling silent.
However, Zhou Cuian clearly had no intention of letting it go. I see! No wonder you can afford such a comfortable university life, Lengan. Your fiancs family must be loaded to let you splurge like this.
She believed that Ye Lengan made it sound so pretty, but was obviously unwilling to introduce him! If he truly existed, why would Ye Lengan hide him so?
Now Zhou Cuian was even more convinced that Ye Lengans supposed fianc was definitely some shriveled old codger. Or perhaps afflicted by some condition.
Otherwise, why would Ye Lengan be so averse to even mentioning him?
Not being fools, Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei could sense the sarcasm in Zhou Cuians words. Worriedly, they looked towards Ye Lengan.
