Chapter 212: Zheng Yue’s Thoughts

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zheng Yue sat in the office and looked at the blank computer in a daze.

After the winter break, Zheng Yue did not return to her hometown. Instead, she continued to work at Nankang’s company.

After learning that she didn’t have a place to stay, Nan Kang offered his help.

‘”If you don’t mind, I have an empty house that 1 can rent to you.” Nan Kang was understanding.

Although the company was in dire straits now, Nan Kang still had some a.s.sets.

Zheng Yue was happy for a moment when she heard him say that, but then she felt that he had helped her too much and was a little embarra.s.sed to accept it.

Nan Kang naturally saw through Zheng Yue’s thoughts, so he did not ask her to move in directly.

“It’s alright. You’ll be helping me clean up when you move in. The rent will also be deducted from your salary,” Nan Kang said naturally.

His smiling face was elegant and refined. From the surface, one could not tell that he liked Zheng Yue at all as his words were mixed with kindness. It was as though he was really willing to help others.

Moreover, Nan Kang’s words poked Zheng Yue in her current predicament. The hotel fee was very expensive, so Zheng Yue did not consider it at all and he could not stay in the company after work.

Zheng Yue remained silent, as if she was considering. Nan Kang did not ask and just waited patiently for her answer.

“Then, thank you.” After hesitating for a long time, Zheng Yue nodded slightly and agreed.

Just like that, the matter of renting a house was settled. Nan Kang’s image in Zheng Yue’s heart rose even higher.

In order to express her grat.i.tude, Zheng Yue even volunteered to take on this job when she heard that Nan Kang was planning to hire a personal a.s.sistant.

As Nan Kang’s personal a.s.sistant, she would be involved in almost everything, big and small. From this, Zheng Yue learned that the Murong family was holding a banquet.

“Murong Qiao is holding it personally?” Zheng Yue learnt about this from someone else.

“That’s right. Many people said that Miss Murong is going to choose a husband for herself this time. When the time comes, she’ll probably be able to see many tall, rich, and handsome men.” The young lady who gave her the information spoke with obvious envy.

At such a high society banquet, attracting any man present would make one’s life easier.

Seeing the envy in the little girl’s eyes, Zheng Yue also secretly thought of something.

After getting the information, Zheng Yue sent it to Nan Kang and returned to her office.

She knew Murong Qiao. When Zheng Yue heard that the Murong family was holding a banquet, it was impossible for her not to be tempted.

Zheng Yue, who had attended many banquets with Nan Kang, had long seen the good of banquets although they were not the best. When she thought of the banquet that the Murong family was going to hold, almost everyone attending was beyond her reach. Therefore, Zheng Yue pursed her lips and was tempted.

She called Murong Qiao and the call went through quickly.

“Zheng Yue?” Murong Qiao sounded puzzled. “Did something happen?”

She was helping out at home now. When she saw Zheng Yue calling, she was a little surprised and thought that something had happened to her.

“It’s me,” Zheng Yue replied. “Are you very busy?”

She heard a voice in the background. Someone was moving things, or perhaps setting up the event location.

“My mother came to urge me to go home again recently. She even said that she wouldn’t let me go back to school.” Before Murong Qiao could answer, Zheng Yue spoke again. “1 don’t want to go back at all. Besides, she only likes my brother. 1 will have to do farm work when I go home…”

“When I get home, an annoying matchmaker will ask my mother to sell me for money, but I haven’t even finished university.” Zheng Yue’s voice was low.

Zheng Yue’s family was in the countryside, and the elders were still pedantic. Zheng Yue’s situation was indeed as she said, but in order to make Murong Qiao pity her, she deliberately made it sound worse.

“I want to live in the city, but 1 don’t fit in with the others. I’ve never even attended a banquet before.” She sighed.

“I heard that the Murong family is holding a banquet recently, Qiaoqiao.”

Zheng Yue finally got to the point. “I wanted to ask you if I could go.”

She spoke carefully and tentatively.

Murong Qiao was still in a daze at first and couldn’t understand what Zheng Yue meant. Now, she did.

So she wanted to attend the banquet.

“I see—” Murong Qiao followed her. “Of course.”

Since Zheng Yue had said so, Murong Qiao naturally agreed.

“Thank you, Qiaoqiao!” Zheng Yue was instantly happy.

When she called, she was still a little nervous. Now that she heard Murong Qiao agree to her, she was very surprised.

The two of them didn’t say much before hanging up, but Zheng Yue’s joy didn’t subside.

If she could get to know a few boys at the banquet this time and leave a good impression, it would only be beneficial for her.

During this period of time, Zheng Yue, who had been by Nan Kang’s side, had already understood a lot of principles. She also knew that she was at a disadvantage because she lacked the chance to build her social network. She had already understood the importance of connections after working.

“Why are you so happy?” Nan Kang saw the smile on Zheng Yue’s face as soon as he entered.

He walked over and touched Zheng Yue’s head naturally.

In the past two days, the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them had gradually warmed up, but they had always maintained an ambiguous relations.h.i.+p. They had already gotten used to the occasional intimacy. Nan Kang and Zheng Yue had both noticed it, but neither of them was the first to make it too obvious.

Zheng Yue looked at Nan Kang. At the thought that she would be able to attend the banquet soon, she suddenly felt less ambiguous towards Nan Kang.

“I just got off the phone and had a good chat with my cla.s.smate.” Zheng Yue smiled and glossed over it.

Nan Kang did not ask further and continued to care about Zheng Yue’s life as usual.

Zheng Yue replied, but she was thinking about what to wear to the banquet.

The ambiguous relations.h.i.+p with Nan Kang wasn’t fake, but considering the age difference, Zheng Yue also knew that Nan Kang was definitely not her best choice.

Meanwhile, after Murong Qiao and Zheng Yue hung up the phone, they also called their other two roommates.

Zheng Yue couldn’t be the only one at the banquet. Yang Xin and Leng Yan definitely had a share. After knowing Murong Qiao’s invitation, the two of them agreed readily.

On the night of the banquet.

Yang Xin and Leng Yan arrived at the Murong Residence early in the morning. They politely stood at the door and knocked.

“Welcome, Young Miss’s friend.” Uncle Yang opened the door and greeted them. “She’s on the second floor now. Let me bring you up.”

Murong Qiao informed Uncle Yang of Yang Xin and Leng Yan’s arrival in advance. Therefore, although it was the first time they met, Uncle Yang recognized the two little girls at a glance.

“Thank you.” Leng Yan thanked him.

Yang Xin also hurriedly thanked him, but her attention was still focused on the ancient and low-key residence in front of her.

The Murong family had renovated the old residence and hired people to take good care of it. Compared to the luxury of the villa, it had a vintage aura. The interior was modern, but it still had a cla.s.sic scent.

This was their first time coming to the Murong Qiao family. Yang Xin originally thought that living in a villa was luxurious enough, but when she personally came here and saw the scene in front of her, she couldn’t help but open her mouth slightly.

Coupled with the beautiful decorations of the banquet and the dazzling crystal lights above her head, Yang Xin felt like a princess as she walked up the stairs.

“Young Miss, your cla.s.smates are here.” Uncle Yang knocked on the door.

While Yang Xin was in a daze, the three of them had already reached the door of Murong Qiao’s room..
