Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, the new year was over. Winter vacation ended, and it was time to go back to school.
After the winter break, Ye Leng’an successfully obtained her driver’s license. For convenience, she drove straight to school.
However, this didn’t cause much of a stir. Previously, considering the university’s relatively simple environment, she had bought a modest car costing just two to three hundred thousand. Although not cheap, such a car wasn’t very conspicuous on campus.
After all, this was the capital, and many families could afford cars. A vehicle worth a couple hundred thousand wasn’t particularly eye-catching at the university.
Ye Leng’an returned to the dormitory a day early. The moment she entered, she saw Zhu Bixuan and Ling Weiwei already packing their belongings. Clearly, these two had come back a little earlier than her.
“Leng’an, you’re back!” Zhu Bixuan greeted her first. “How was your winter vacation?”
“Not bad.” Ye Leng’an smiled and nodded. “When did you two get back?”
“Just now.” Zhu Bixuan complained as she packed, “Almost a month away, and these blankets smell musty now. Not enough time to air them out properly.”
Hearing Zhu Bixuan’s grumbling, Ye Leng’an just smiled, saying nothing more.
Ling Weiwei quietly packed her own things, her demeanor calm – a far cry from the arrogant attitude she had at the start of the school year.
Observing this new Ling Weiwei, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help marveling inwardly. University really could change people!
When Zhou Cui’an first arrived, she came across as an earnest, honest girl. Yet now she seemed to have become vain. Conversely, Ling Weiwei, initially presumed to be an arrogant brat, appeared much more composed these days.
“Hey, Zhou Cui’an isn’t here yet!” Zhu Bixuan remarked after looking around. “I thought she’d be the first one back! I heard she stayed in the capital for a holiday job. Why is she so late?”
Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed across Ye Leng’an’s eyes. She set down her things and began unpacking, not uttering a word.
For a while, the three roommates busied themselves with their respective tasks in the small dorm room, occasionally exchanging a few words in the harmonious atmosphere.
However, at that moment, the door abruptly swung open, and Zhou Cui’an barged in wheeling her luggage, shattering the peaceful ambiance.
After the winter break, Zhou Cui’an had undergone a drastic transformation. Her face was dolled up with exquisite makeup, and she wore a well-fitted branded dress. Her previously straight long hair was now styled in big curly waves, and an expensive-looking diamond bracelet adorned her wrist.
One could say Zhou Cui’an had completely reinvented herself, shedding her former simple, rustic demeanor to become a modern city belle.
Surprise flickered in Ye Leng’an’s eyes. She could tell Zhou Cui’an’s entire outfit easily cost over a hundred thousand. No holiday job could possibly earn that much in just one winter vacation.
Zhou Cui’an strutted into the room, head held high and chest puffed out, radiating an air of confidence as she beamed at her three roommates. “Didn’t expect you all to be back so early!”
During this time, Zhou Cui’an had lived quite comfortably. Ever since attending that banquet, she frequently met up with Huangfu Shaohua for dates. The clothes she now wore were all gifts from him.
After a few such outings, she had already agreed to become Huangfu Shaohua’s girlfriend.
Since becoming his girlfriend, she felt her life had peaked. Huangfu Shaohua was very generous, often lavishing her with expensive gifts and taking her shopping. This made her feel like she had ascended into the capital’s high society.
Not long after getting together with Huangfu Shaohua, she had already become his kept woman. She had no regrets about this and had even resolved to find a way to tie him down as his official wife.
She was different from Ye Leng’an. She would never stoop so low as to become someone’s secret mistress. Now that she had become Huangfu Shaohua’s woman, she was determined to marry him properly.
Thinking this, Zhou Cui’an shot Ye Leng’an a disdainful look.
Unlike Ye Leng’an, she definitely did not want to end up currying favor with some old man just to lead an affluent life.
Although Murong Yumeng had never explicitly stated that Ye Leng’an’s so-called fiancé was elderly, Zhou Cui’an was convinced he must be an old man.
Otherwise, why had she never seen this supposed fiancé come looking for Ye Leng’an? Moreover, Ye Leng’an had never breathed a word about him!
If he truly were some young, eligible bachelor, how could he be too shy to meet people?
Bewildered by Zhou Cui’an’s strange gaze, Ye Leng’an ignored her and continued unpacking.
“Wow, Cui’an, you seem completely different!” Zhu Bixuan exclaimed in astonishment. “What did you do this winter vacation to earn so much money?”
There was no ulterior motive behind Zhu Bixuan’s words – merely curiosity.
However, Zhou Cui’an appeared to have misunderstood, freezing momentarily before smiling and explaining, “I didn’t buy these. They’re all gifts from my boyfriend.”
As she spoke, she shot Ye Leng’an a smug glance.
She wanted Ye Leng’an to know she was no longer the impoverished Zhou Cui’an of the past.
Previously at the mall, Ye Leng’an had so humiliated her. Zhou Cui’an remembered it all too well and would definitely not let her get away with it.
“You have a boyfriend?” Zhu Bixuan sounded surprised. “I didn’t expect you’d get one in just this winter break!”
Neither Ye Leng’an nor Ling Weiwei reacted – not even sparing Zhou Cui’an a glance as they busied themselves, leaving her words hanging.
This irked Zhou Cui’an, who smiled and said outright, “Yes! I met him at a banquet. Come to think of it, if not for Leng’an, I might not have had such an opportunity!”
