Though Zhou Cui’an still didn’t know what kind of job Murong Yumeng had introduced her to, she felt quite excited.

Murong Yumeng was the young lady of the Murong family. No matter how mediocre the job she recommended might be, it wouldn’t be too shabby.

And if the job happened to be within a company under the Murong family’s banner, that would be even better. Given that her home wasn’t in the capital, finding work here after graduation would prove quite challenging. However, if she could land a gig in a major corporation now, everything would change.

As long as she performed well at the company, especially with Murong Yumeng’s recommendation, there might even be more holiday job opportunities in the future. With time, there was a good chance she could land an internship within the company upon graduation, securing her place for the future.

“All right, someone will be in touch with you in a couple of days,” Murong Yumeng said, checking her watch. “It’s getting late, and I have other matters to attend to. I’ll take my leave now.”

With that, Murong Yumeng rose from her seat.

“Okay.” Zhou Cui’an hastily got up, bowing deeply to Murong Yumeng. When she straightened up, her face was filled with gratitude. “Thank you so much, Senior Sister Murong. I wouldn’t know what to do without your help.”

“It’s just a piece of cake.” Murong Yumeng smiled, shaking her head. “Besides, you and Leng’an are roommates. It’s only right for me to help.”

At the mention of Ye Leng’an again, Zhou Cui’an’s smile faltered. After a moment’s thought, she cautiously asked, “Senior Sister Murong, are you close to Leng’an?”

Knowing that Murong Yumeng was granting her this opportunity because of Ye Leng’an, Zhou Cui’an found it hard to articulate her feelings. It felt as though everything she received was somehow connected to Ye Leng’an.

This notion was difficult for her to accept. Moreover, it was clear that Murong Yumeng had a genuine fondness for Ye Leng’an. However, Zhou Cui’an had observed in their dormitory that Ye Leng’an didn’t reciprocate those feelings. She couldn’t bear to see Murong Yumeng’s kindness being taken advantage of by Ye Leng’an.

“In fact, I quite like Leng’an,” Murong Yumeng smiled in response. “She seems like a talented and outstanding individual. I genuinely want to befriend her. I even invited her to join the student council before. Unfortunately, she claimed to be too busy and declined.”

“Ye Leng’an isn’t as good as you think she is,” Zhou Cui’an interjected anxiously. “She doesn’t like you at all, and she even speaks ill of you. Please don’t be deceived by her.”

“What?” Murong Yumeng’s expression fell as if struck by a blow. “Are you sure about what you’re saying? Leng’an is definitely not like that. You must have misunderstood her.”

“I didn’t misunderstand! If there’s any misunderstanding, it’s you misunderstanding her. You’re mistaken to think she’s a good person,” Zhou Cui’an insisted urgently. “She already resents you because of the school belle selection. Although she claims not to care about it, she’s actually just afraid of losing. From her words, I can tell she doesn’t hold you in high regard. Remember when you sent someone to meet her downstairs? You don’t know how arrogant she was. She directly told the messenger that you could leave if you couldn’t wait. But the truth is, she had nothing important to attend to; she was just lazing around in the dormitory. Her ultimate goal was simply to make you wait.”

“No, that can’t be.” Murong Yumeng shook her head, seeming hesitant to believe the allegations. “Leng’an, she…”

As she trailed off, she appeared unable to continue. Her face bore an expression of sadness as if she had been betrayed by a trusted friend.

“Senior Sister Murong, I didn’t want to tell you,” Zhou Cui’an confessed, her lips pursed. “But I couldn’t bear to see you being deceived by Ye Leng’an. You’re such a good person; it’s not worth being upset over someone like her.”

Murong Yumeng shook her head again, insisting, “Junior Sister Zhou, I know you mean well, but I believe Leng’an is not like that. In fact, if you observe her closely in the dormitory, you’ll see that she’s genuinely a good person. She wouldn’t engage in such two-faced behavior.”

After hearing Murong Yumeng’s response, Zhou Cui’an felt both anxious and unsure how to persuade her further to believe her. “Senior Sister Murong, everything I’ve said is true. Otherwise, I’ll tell you everything about Ye Leng’an’s behavior in the dormitory. Then you’ll see, she’s not a good person at all.”

Zhou Cui’an was confident she could find evidence to convince Murong Yumeng that Ye Leng’an was not to be trusted.

Murong Yumeng’s eyes flashed with a hint of pride, but she shook her head nonetheless. “You don’t need to do that. If Leng’an finds out, she’ll surely be angry with me.”

“Okay, Senior Sister, please don’t try to dissuade me,” Zhou Cui’an interjected quickly. “What I do in the future is my own business. Don’t worry about it. Don’t you have other matters to attend to? Don’t let me delay you.”

“Fine!” Murong Yumeng glanced at her watch once more before speaking firmly. “Junior Sister, I’ll take my leave now.”

With that, she hastily departed.

Unbeknownst to Zhou Cui’an, as Murong Yumeng turned away, her face displayed no extra emotions. Only a cold, steely glint flickered in her eyes.

At that moment, Murong Yumeng had shed all traces of gentleness. Even her iconic smile had vanished entirely. If anyone had witnessed this, they would never believe that this was the same gentle and charming Miss Murong they knew.

Left behind, Zhou Cui’an didn’t immediately leave. Instead, she leisurely sipped her coffee.

She had never experienced such relaxation before, especially since she never drank coffee on ordinary days. Today, she seized the opportunity to bask in the leisurely atmosphere. Meanwhile, she pondered over Murong Yumeng’s words.
