Chapter 861: Please Help Me

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhou Cui’an didn’t want Ye Leng’an to witness such an embarrassing situation. However, given the current circumstances, she had no other choice.

Ye Leng’an strolled into the luxury store and glanced at Zhou Cui’an, curiously asking, “What are you doing here?”

It wasn’t that she looked down on Zhou Cui’an, but regardless of appearances, Zhou Cui’an didn’t seem capable of affording anything here.

Her question was straightforward, devoid of emotion. But to Zhou Cui’an, it felt like mockery, intensifying her embarrassment. Her eyes reddened, and she couldn’t help but feel a tinge of resentment towards Ye Leng’an.

“Why can’t I be here?” Zhou Cui’an’s emotions seemed to spiral out of control. Her tone turned brash. “Are you the only one allowed to shop here? Am I not worthy enough?”

Ye Leng’an wasn’t naïve. She sensed Zhou Cui’an’s animosity. Frowning, she clarified, “That’s not what I meant. Zhou Cui’an, I haven’t wronged you, so there’s no need to be so agitated. If you don’t want to see me, I can leave now.”

She wasn’t one to tolerate nonsense. Plus, her relationship with Zhou Cui’an was merely that of roommates; they weren’t close. If Zhou Cui’an hadn’t asked her earlier, she wouldn’t have come here at all.

She owed Zhou Cui’an nothing, so there was no reason to endure her anger.

“Don’t go!”

Seeing Ye Leng’an about to leave in anger, Zhou Cui’an panicked. She stepped forward, attempting to stop Ye Leng’an.

But Ye Leng’an evaded Zhou Cui’an’s grasp.

Zhou Cui’an withdrew her hand, feeling frustrated. “Leng’an, I’m sorry. My tone was harsh earlier, but I didn’t mean to. It’s just that this matter got me anxious, and I spoke without thinking!”

She didn’t approve of Ye Leng’an’s actions but had no choice but to swallow her pride. Besides Ye Leng’an, there was no one to help her now.

Reluctantly, she had to yield to Ye Leng’an

“Don’t dwell on the past. You must take responsibility for this!” The salesperson directed a stern gaze at Zhou Cui’an. “You dirtied this gown, so you must purchase it.”

Though speaking to Zhou Cui’an, the salesperson’s eyes involuntarily drifted towards Ye Leng’an.

Having worked in the luxury store for so long, the salesperson had sharp eyes. Hence, it was natural for her to notice that the elegant girl who entered later, despite her understated attire, was adorned from head to toe in haute couture, even sporting a multimillion-yuan watch on her wrist. Such an individual would undoubtedly be capable of footing the bill for this gown.

It didn’t matter who paid; they needed to resolve the issue. The gown was now unsellable due to the stains Zhou Cui’an caused. Someone had to take responsibility.

“What happened?” Ye Leng’an frowned, unaware of the situation

Zhou Cui’an felt embarrassed, not wanting to answer. She didn’t want Ye Leng’an to see her as a laughingstock.

The salesperson, however, had no such reservations and explained the situation.

After finishing her explanation, the salesperson wore a look of distress. “We really can’t just let this slide. This gown is our latest season’s flagship item, and in the entire capital, we’re the only store with it. But when this young lady tried it on, she somehow got foundation smudged over it. We can’t sell it like this. So, she must purchase this dress.”

“This is not my fault at all!” Zhou Cui’an instinctively defended herself. “Clearly, you were the one who urged me to try it on in the first place. And while I was trying it on, you didn’t remind me to be careful, nor did you advise me to take any preventive measures! And now you’re shifting all the blame onto me. Why?”

Seeing Zhou Cui’an attempting to shift the blame onto herself, the salesperson became agitated and quickly retorted, “How can you say that? It’s clearly your own negligence. What does it have to do with me? Nothing like this has ever happened in our store before!”

The implication was clear: anyone capable of shopping in this store would know this.

Zhou Cui’an’s face darkened upon hearing the salesperson’s mocking tone. However, before she could respond, the salesperson interrupted her, “Regardless, you’re the one who dirtied the gown, so you must take responsibility. Otherwise, we’ll have to call the police!”

At the mention of calling the police, Zhou Cui’an’s expression turned sour. She had no intention of continuing the argument with the salesperson. Instead, she turned to Ye Lengan with a pleading tone, “Leng’an, please help me!”

Deep down, she knew that if this escalated to the police, it wouldn’t end well for her. Ultimately, she would have to compensate the store for its losses.

After hearing the explanation, Ye Leng’an furrowed her brows. “How can I help you?”

The situation was murky. But Zhou Cui’an had dirtied the gown, so the salesperson’s demand was reasonable

However, Ye Leng’an was curious. Why had Zhou Cui’an suddenly appeared in this luxury store, trying on gowns?

Zhou Cui’an hesitated, unsure how to respond to Ye Leng’an’s question.

She assumed Ye Leng’an would understand her intentions by now.

With Ye Leng’an’s wealth, buying the gown would resolve the issue. So why the need for further inquiry?
