Chapter 862: Offending Ye Leng’an

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Leng’an looked at Zhou Cui’an with a wry smile, awaiting her response.

She found it amusing. Her relationship with Zhou Cui’an wasn’t that close! The other party’s air of entitlement made her wonder where she got the confidence to assume she’d help!

Under Ye Leng’an’s gaze, Zhou Cui’an’s face gradually flushed, her expression changing into one of anger and embarrassment.

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

“Leng’an, can you put in a good word for me?”

With no other option, Zhou Cui’an changed her approach. “The dress is merely stained now. I’m 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 wouldn’t have been held back by the salesperson.

She only said this to prompt Ye Leng’an to come up with a solution herself.

“Oh.” Ye Leng’an nodded, then replied, “If you think that’s feasible, you should discuss it with her yourself. Why do you need my help?”

Zhou Cui’an’s expression soured; evidently, she hadn’t expected such a response from Ye Leng’an.

“But I…”

Zhou Cui’an 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 won’t agree even if I ask. But you’re 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 can’t be dry-cleaned. We can’t 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 Cui’an had been alone, perhaps she wouldn’t have been so defiant. But with Ye Leng’an present, she dared not act too arrogantly.

As salespeople, they had keen eyes and could tell Ye Leng’an wasn’t 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 wouldn’t have let Zhou Cui’an try on this particular dress just now.

Before, she had seen Zhou Cui’an 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 salesperson’s interjection made Zhou Cui’an’s face paler, and she felt increasingly embarrassed.

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

In an instant, she felt all her rationality vanish. She looked at Ye Leng’an and blurted out, “Leng’an, I really don’t 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 Cui’an’s matter-of-fact demeanor, Ye Leng’an was almost dumbfounded. Her smile didn’t disappear, but her tone grew colder. “Zhou Cui’an, do you even know what you’re saying?”

Zhou Cui’an completely missed the coldness in Ye Leng’an’s tone. Since she had already spoken her mind, she had nothing to hold back.

“Leng’an, this is just a small amount of money for you, isn’t it? I’m not asking you to commit murder or arson. I’m just asking you to buy this dress. It’s not difficult at all. We’re all roommates, so it’s only right for you to help me!”

Ye Leng’an was almost amused. “Are you saying that I should fork out over three hundred thousand just because you’re my roommate? Well, your roommate seems quite valuable!”

Actually, if Zhou Cui’an had approached her nicely, she might have tried to help. But Zhou Cui’an’s presumptuous attitude was quite off-putting. It was as if she was obligated to help.

In reality, they were just roommates, and they hadn’t even lived together for long.

Zhou Cui’an wasn’t naive; she naturally caught the sarcasm in Ye Leng’an’s words.

Even before Ye Leng’an 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 Leng’an’s appearance would be a godsend, but now, she was met with mockery. This caused the string of rationality in her mind to snap. When she looked at Ye Leng’an, her eyes were filled with hatred and disdain. “Ye Leng’an, who do you think you are? Do you really think you’re some rich girl? You’re 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. You’re just a gold digger; what’s so great about that!”

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

Under the scrutiny of so many people, Ye Leng’an’s eyes flashed with understanding. Her expression remained unchanged, and she calmly said, “Who told you I’m supported by a man?”

No wonder Zhou Cui’an’s attitude was so strange when they met last time! So she had such thoughts! She just didn’t know who had misled her.

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

However, even though she regretted it, she didn’t mention Murong Yumeng.

Before, Senior Sister Murong had helped her a lot. She couldn’t repay kindness with ingratitude by exposing her.
