Hearing Ye Leng’an’s probing, Zhou Cui’an found herself at a loss for words and could only choose to remain silent.

Observing Zhou Cui’an’s silence, Ye Leng’an didn’t express anger. Instead, she sneered a few times, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

Seeing Ye Leng’an’s departure, Zhou Cui’an panicked. She stepped forward, attempting to reach out and stop her. “You can’t leave. If you do, what will I do?”

She realized she had misspoken, but the words had already slipped out, unretractable.

Regardless, she couldn’t allow Ye Leng’an to leave. If Ye Leng’an did, she would be in deep trouble.

“Why can’t I leave?” Ye Leng’an dodged Zhou Cui’an’s hand and looked coldly at her. “This is a public place. Why shouldn’t I leave? You’re the one who can’t leave now. What’s that got to do with me?”

“How can you do this, Ye Leng’an?” Zhou Cui’an showed clear anxiety. “We’re roommates, and you know my situation. Do you know how hard it was for me to get to the capital from that small town? If we can’t resolve this today, I’m done for. Perhaps you could consider it a loan? When I earn money, I’ll repay you.”

With Ye Leng’an refusing to pay, borrowing money seemed the only option. Though repayment would be tough, she was confident she could clear the debt after graduating from Capital University.

“Zhou Cui’an, are you overestimating yourself or underestimating me?” Ye Leng’an retorted as if amused by Zhou Cui’an’s words. “Why do you think I must help you? Don’t you remember what you just said? If you think my money is dirty and yours is clean, why ask to borrow this dirty money from me? Wouldn’t it be better to maintain your noble stance?”

Realizing Ye Leng’an’s sarcasm, Zhou Cui’an felt regret. She shouldn’t have been so forthright; now, she had offended Ye Leng’an, who was unwilling to help her.

She could no longer afford to be aloof.

Zhou Cui’an took a deep breath, suppressing her disgust and disdain, and humbly said, “Leng’an, what I said wasn’t genuine. I’m simply envious of your wealth. Please forgive me and lend a hand. I’ll be grateful for life.”

“No need for that.”

Hearing Ye Leng’an’s response, Zhou Cui’an felt hopeful. However, Ye Leng’an’s next words shattered her optimism.

Ye Leng’an looked at Zhou Cui’an with a smirk. “Because I never intended to help you.”

After saying that, she even gave Zhou Cui’an a malicious smile.

Having gone from hope to despair, Zhou Cui’an finally realized that Ye Leng’an had never intended to help her from the beginning.

Enraged and humiliated, she glared at Ye Leng’an. “Are you mocking me?”

“I’m not. From the start, I never promised to help you.” Ye Leng’an shrugged. “And since you hold me in such disdain, what right do you have to ask for my help? Don’t assume you’re the smartest, and I’m no fool. I won’t help someone who looks down on me.”

With her hope of Ye Leng’an’s assistance shattered, Zhou Cui’an could no longer contain her emotions.

Her face darkened, all traces of pleading vanished, replaced by sheer malice. “Yes, I look down on you, Ye Leng’an. After what you’ve done, do you still expect respect from others? Who are you to lecture me, someone who’s sold themselves for money? I sought your help today, but that doesn’t make me inferior to you. Since you refuse to help, so be it.”

Zhou Cui’an’s face twisted with malice. “Ye Leng’an, do you really think you can live this luxurious life forever? I can’t wait to see your fate when your sugar daddy tires of you.”

“Though I don’t know where you heard those rumors,” Ye Leng’an said calmly, “my money is mine alone. As for my future, that’s for me to know and you to wonder about. If you don’t resolve today’s issue, your future won’t be bright.”

After that, Ye Leng’an directly reached out her hand, pushed aside Zhou Cui’an blocking her, and then left gracefully.

It was evident Zhou Cui’an’s words did not affect Ye Leng’an.

Left behind, Zhou Cui’an was stiff. She wanted to call Ye Leng’an back, the only one who could help her.

But she had burned bridges with Ye Leng’an. Even if she swallowed her pride, Ye Leng’an would never help her.

Without hesitation, the salesperson called the police.

It was clear to her the girl couldn’t afford the gown. With her last hope gone, calling the police was the only recourse.

There was no other option now but to ensure compensation. Failure to do so would result in severe losses for the shop.

With this realization, the salesperson regarded Zhou Cui’an as though she were a fool.

After all, only a fool would push away their only savior like this!
