“A banquet?”
Upon hearing Murong Yung’s suggestion, Zhou Cui’an’s eyes brightened. However, soon after, she seed to reconsider and her expression dimd. She timidly replied, “Maybe not. It might not be suitable for to attend such an occasion. Senior Sister Murong, thank you for the invitation! But I think I’ll pass.”
Banquets like these were the world of the wealthy. For an ordinary girl like her to fit in would be quite challenging. Especially considering Senior Sister Murongg’s status as a mber of the Murong family, the events she attended were bound to be high-class. It would likely be uncomfortable for her to attend.
“Why wouldn’t it be suitable?” Murong Yung’s lips curled into a smile as she continued to persuade, “It’s not a very formal gathering, just friends getting together to chat. We’re all young people; it’ll be easy for everyone to get along.”
Although Zhou Cui’an was tempted, her rational side told her to decline.
“Senior Sister Murongg, I appreciate your kindness, but I’ll pass,” Zhou Cui’an said, shaking her head with less conviction. “I’m afraid I’ll embarrass you.”
“Why would you think that?” Murong Yung persisted, “You have to believe in yourself. You got into Capital University; you’re definitely outstanding. Besides, you’re alone during the New Year. Why not co out and et new friends? I’m sure you want to stay in the capital after graduation! If that’s the case, making more friends will be beneficial. More friends an more opportunities! Alright, it’s settled then. If you insist on refusing, then you’ll be looking down on my friends.”
“How could I?” Zhou Cui’an responded anxiously, eventually agreeing, “Alright! Senior Sister Murongg, I’ll see you then.”
Though it seed she had reluctantly agreed, Zhou Cui’an’s eyes sparkled.
She never expected to receive such a pleasant surprise when she sought Murong Yung’s help earlier. Just six months in the capital, and she already had the chance to mingle with the elite families. It felt surreal. She couldn’t help but recall a joke from her days working at a luxury store, where a colleague suggested she befriended Ye Leng’an. Perhaps she could introduce her to so wealthy young gentlen, and then she could ascend to the top in one fell swoop.
At that ti, she was very excited, but her relationship with Ye Leng’an was never good, so her wish was never fulfilled. Later on, she learned about Ye Leng’an’s true nature, which directly dispelled such thoughts. After all, she was just a woman who clung to a wealthy man. What help could she offer?
Who would have thought that she had already dismissed such thoughts, but now she had such an opportunity again because of Murong Yung.
Now, looking back, she felt that it was really the right decision to muster up the courage to call Murong Yung. Murong Yung was her greatest benefactor in life, practically changing her destiny.
Not wanting to waste too much ti on Zhou Cui’an, Murong Yung excused herself after a brief conversation
Watching Murong Yung leave, Zhou Cui’an felt a twinge of regret. There were still things she wanted to say, but she didn’t dare to waste Murong Yung’s ti.
Despite Murong Yung’s departure, Zhou Cui’an had no intention of leaving just yet. With her worries resolved and an invitation from Murong Yung, she felt unexpectedly relieved.
For days, she had been unable to eat or sleep well, fearing her secret would be revealed. With Murong Yung’s promise to help, she felt reassured.
With the weight lifted off her chest, she felt unprecedentedly light-hearted. Now, she simply wanted to savor this mont of relaxation.
Especially when her eyes fell upon the bank card on the table, Zhou Cui’an’s smile widened.
She had resigned herself to losing the money, but to her surprise, she still had it. With the kickback issue resolved, she decided to keep it.
With this money, she thought about what dress to wear to the banquet.
anwhile, after leaving the café, Murong Yung got into a car waiting by the roadside.
In the car, besides the driver, another person sat in the backseat -Murong Yung’s follower, Xiao Lingling.
Seeing Murong Yung enter the car, Xiao Lingling imdiately took her coat and asked, “Senior Sister, are you finished chatting?”
“Yes,” Murong Yung replied, her tone indifferent, even mocking. “It was just desperate. To bother for such a trivial matter, she really has no sha.”
At this mont, Murong Yung had completely shed the gentleness she displayed when facing Zhou Cui’an just now. The mont she got into the car, her entire facade was stripped away. Now, leaning against the back seat, her face bore a sneer, and she appeared exceptionally indifferent. This was a stark departure from her usual image of being understanding and caring, akin to an elder sister.
Xiao Lingling wasn’t surprised by this.
As Murong Yung’s follower, she knew exactly who Murong Yung was. And now, Murong Yung didn’t even bother pretending in front of her.
Of course, Xiao Lingling dared not reveal Murong Yung’s true nature. Offending Murong Yung would only bring trouble to her family.
Moreover, Xiao Lingling knew that Murong Yung’s public persona was deeply ingrained. Even if she revealed the truth, no one would believe her.
Ignoring Xiao Lingling’s silence, Murong Yung looked at her and said, “I’ve invited her to the banquet on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Rember to take care of her.”
