Soon, Murong Yumeng and Zhou Cui’an were seated again.

Perhaps because Murong Yumeng had agreed to help, Zhou Cui’an heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down. At this moment, she was immensely grateful to Murong Yumeng.

“Senior Sister Murong, I really appreciate what you’ve done this time,” Zhou Cui’an said, looking at Murong Yumeng as if she were her savior. “If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

In fact, to Zhou Cui’an, Murong Yumeng was indeed like a savior. If Murong Yumeng hadn’t been willing to help, her future would have been ruined. Murong Yumeng’s a.s.sistance this time was as crucial as a lifeline to her.

“It’s nothing.” Murong Yumeng smiled and shook her head. “However, Junior Sister Zhou, I can help you this time, but if there’s a next time, I can’t condone such actions.”

Though Murong Yumeng’s words were stern, Zhou Cui’an was willing to heed them. “Senior Sister Murong, I was acting impulsively this time. I promise there won’t be a next time.”

As she spoke, grat.i.tude and admiration filled her eyes as she looked at Murong Yumeng. “Senior Sister Murong, you’re my benefactor now. Whatever you ask of me in the future, even if it’s something drastic, I won’t hesitate.”

Of course, she was exaggerating, and she wouldn’t agree to anything illegal. After all, she didn’t want to delve into a life of crime. That was why she had sought Murong Yumeng’s help today. She felt confident speaking so boldly because she believed Murong Yumeng wouldn’t make things difficult for her.

“What are you talking about!” Murong Yumeng laughed, shaking her head. “I’m not that kind of person. However, this should serve as a lesson.”

“I’ll definitely learn from this,” Zhou Cui’an replied, pus.h.i.+ng the bank card towards Murong Yumeng. “Senior Sister Murong, please help me return this money to the company. I can’t face my superiors.”

When she had approached Murong Yumeng, she had already resigned herself to relinquis.h.i.+ng this money, as it was not entirely legitimate. Now, seeking Murong Yumeng’s help, she wanted to ensure the money was returned to the company.

Though it had been her plan all along, parting with the money still caused her pain. She had already envisioned how to spend it, and it would have undoubtedly improved her appearance and lifestyle in the city.

Noticing Zhou Cui’an’s hesitation, Murong Yumeng’s disdain grew, though she kept a composed expression. “It’s fine. Since I’m allowing you to keep it, then keep it! The company doesn’t need this small amount of money. Since they won’t pursue the matter, they won’t take it back.”

“How can that be!”

Despite her protests, Zhou Cui’an couldn’t tear her eyes away from the bank card. “This is a bribe I received, which doesn’t belong to me. I’m just relieved the company won’t investigate further. How can I keep this money?”

Though she sounded n.o.ble, she was still tempted. After all, twenty thousand was a significant sum to her. If she kept it, she could buy many things and make her next semester much easier.

However, she didn’t dare to keep it, fearing Murong Yumeng would see her as greedy. She couldn’t afford for Murong Yumeng to dislike her, as she owed everything to her.

Murong Yumeng noticed Zhou Cui’an’s greed but didn’t show her disdain. “It’s fine. Since I said you could keep it, then keep it! Besides, you’re working hard to pay for tuition and living expenses next semester, right? Though it’s not much, it can still ease some of your financial burden.”

Zhou Cui’an couldn’t bring herself to return the money, so she relented under Murong Yumeng’s persuasion. “I… Then I won’t refuse Senior Sister Murong’s kindness.”

With that, she took the bank card and stowed it in her bag. A smile of relief spread across her face.

After Zhou Cui’an put away the bank card, Murong Yumeng took a sip of her coffee and asked with a smile, “By the way, Junior Sister Zhou, I’ve been busy lately and forgot to ask. How’s everything at the company? How are you getting along with your colleagues?

Touched by Murong Yumeng’s concern, Zhou Cui’an replied, “Senior Sister Murong, everything’s going well for me.” She hesitated briefly, feeling remorseful. “I’m just sorry I disappointed you.”

“It’s okay. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes,” Murong Yumeng rea.s.sured her. “Oh, and are you planning to stay in the capital for the New Year?”

Zhou Cui’an nodded. “The holiday isn’t long, so I’ll stay in the company dorms. It’s a waste of time and money to travel back and forth.”

Most importantly, she didn’t want to return to her hometown for the New Year.

“Wouldn’t that be lonely?” Murong Yumeng frowned, then suddenly brightened. “Oh, I’m attending a banquet during the New Year. Would you like to join me? And I’ll introduce you to my friend, Xiao Lingling. She’s my good friend and a student at Capital University. I think you two would get along.”
