9. Sleep randomly

Leng Sa turned around and glanced at the person approaching her, raising an eyebrow slightly. "What's the matter?" Fu Yucheng stared at Leng Sa for a while before speaking, "What are you doing here?" Leng Sa glanced at the person walking towards them behind him and said, "Miss Zheng said this shop is very good and invited us to come take a look." Zheng Xian, who was beside Zheng Ying, immediately changed her expression and hurriedly said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"You didn't invite us?" Leng Sa asked in confusion.

"…" Zheng Xian was speechless, anxiously pulling Zheng Ying. "Cousin, I… I didn't…" Zheng Ying gently patted her hand and said softly, "It's okay. This is a public place. Everyone can come."

Zheng Ying truly lived up to her status as the First Young Lady Zheng, a renowned beauty of Yong City. Her father was the Chief Financial Officer of the Six Southern Provinces' Financial Bureau, a significant figure in the South. Zheng Ying also studied at An Lan University, majoring in the School of Business. She came from a prestigious family, and had exceptional looks, and a gentle and generous personality, making her a prominent figure at the school. It was not an exaggeration to call her the campus's belle.

Zheng Ying let go of Zheng Xian and walked to Fu Yucheng's side. "Miss Leng, it's rare to meet you here. I wonder what you like. Why don't you let Yucheng and me give you something as an apology? How about that?"

Leng Sa looked with interest at the woman before her. Perhaps her gaze was too straightforward, Fu Yucheng stepped forward and blocked Zheng Ying, his gaze wary as he glared at Leng Sa. "What are you trying to do?"

"…" Leng Sa was speechless. What had she done?

Fu Yucheng looked at Leng Sa arrogantly. "I don't care what you're planning, but since you've already agreed to marry Big Brother, you better behave yourself and not think too much. If you dare to hurt Ahying…"

"Yucheng," Zheng Ying said helplessly. "Don't talk nonsense. Miss Leng is not that kind of person."

Fu Yucheng snorted lightly. "Who knows what kind of person she is? She'd rather marry… hmph, isn't it just to covet the glory and wealth of our Fu family?"

Leng Sa grabbed Bai Xi, who wanted to step forward and argue and cast a glance at Fu Yucheng, who was spouting grandiose words. She smiled and looked at Zheng Ying. "Miss Zheng, I have a question for you."

"Please go ahead, Miss Leng." Zheng Ying's smile faltered slightly.

The people in the shop also perked up their ears. This was the first confrontation between the two young ladies of the Leng and the Zheng family since what happened a few days ago.

What would she ask?

Leng Sa said calmly, "Did you just say this is a public place where anyone can come?"

Zheng Ying was a little puzzled. "That's right."

"So, in your eyes, Fu Yucheng is also a public place, so is it fine for anyone to sleep with him?"

BOOM!

In the spacious and bright shop, half of the people were dumbfounded, while the other half had flushed faces. They were all trying their best to restrain themselves from making any noise. They couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the expressions on the faces of the two protagonists. This Miss Leng… was sensational! Even some of the girls around Zheng Xian could not help but clench their clothes to suppress their excitement.

For a moment, Zheng Ying thought she had misheard, "What did you say?!" Looking at Leng Sa's calm gaze, she finally realized she hadn't heard wrongly. Leng Sa had asked such a question in public. Her face turned pale in an instant.

Fu Yucheng quickly supported her and turned to reprimand Leng Sa, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Leng Sa smiled, "Before I break off the engagement with him, shouldn't you at least discuss with me if you want to sleep with him?"

Fu Yucheng tried to step forward, but Zheng Ying held onto him tightly. Her eyes were already red. "Yucheng, don't… don't blame Junior Sister Leng. It's all my fault…"

Bai Xi held onto Leng Sa's sleeve with one hand, her eyes shining with admiration as she looked at her friend. Their Sasa lived up to her reputation, making an astonishing debut.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's none of your business." Fu Yucheng hugged Zheng Ying, consoling her in a soft voice, "My parents have agreed to the marriage, and we will be married soon. Ahying, you're the only one in my heart." Zheng Ying's eyes drooped slightly, a tear hanging on her eyelashes, reluctant to fall, making her look very endearing. Zheng Ying leaned weakly against Fu Yucheng's embrace, looking at Leng Sa with guilt in her eyes, "Junior Sister Leng, I…"

Leng Sa interrupted her, "We are in the same year. Thank you."

Zheng Ying paused for a moment and forced a smile, "I forgot, Miss Leng is also a top student in our school. This matter… is all our fault. As long as you tell me anything I can do to compensate you, I'll agree. But… I've already, I can't leave Yucheng, please forgive me."

'Top student' might not be accurate; Leng Sa couldn't be considered one. Besides the effort she put into directly taking the university entrance exam at the age of fifteen, her usual grades hovered around the upper range, but she wasn't considered outstanding.

"Willing to compensate me for anything?" Leng Sa raised her eyebrows.

Zheng Ying nodded, her eyes full of sincerity.

Leng Sa nodded and turned to the store manager standing not far away, who wanted to approach but hesitated. "I heard your store has three extremely valuable gemstones?"

The store manager hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, there's a sapphire, a ruby, and a yellow diamond. Be it in size or quality, they're all top-notch. They're the treasures of our main store."

"How much?" Leng Sa asked.

"Huh?" The store manager was a little stunned.

Bai Xi tilted her head and grinned, "She's asking how much it would take to sell them."

The store manager came back to his senses and said in a daze, "Well… 1.2 million yuan."

In the present-day An Xia, 1.2 million yuan was a sky-high price. After all… even a family like the Fu family, Fu Yucheng's monthly allowance when he was studying was only 200 yuan. An average worker's salary was only 30 yuan.

Leng Sa looked at Zheng Ying. "Settle the bill."

"You… you…" Zheng Ying almost fainted. She couldn't believe that Leng Mingyue from the scholarly family, who was said to be gentle and demure, would be so shameless.

Leng Sa asked, "What's wrong? Fu Yucheng isn't even worth three gemstones?"

Zheng Ying naturally couldn't claim that they were worth it or that they were not. Besides, she couldn't come up with this sum of money, even if the entire Zheng family had to, it would deplete half of their assets. Her face turned red, and with a choked voice, she finally couldn't hold back her sobs.

"Leng Mingyue!" Fu Yucheng finally couldn't help but step forward, reaching out to grab Leng Sa's arm, "What do you want?"

Slap! Before his hand could touch Leng Sa, a loud slap landed on his face.

Fu Yucheng was stunned, struggling to come back to his senses.

Leng Sa raised her hand and lightly blew on her fingertips, saying, "Fu Yucheng, you've gone too far." These years of ordinary life and student days had diluted Leng Sa's coldness from her Silver Fox days. Normally, she just looked like lacked warmth and was less talkative, but when her face darkened, that imposing coldness was as intense as ever.

"What did you say?" He stared in disbelief at the girl who had gone cold before him, his anger unrestrained, "How dare you! I…" He tried to step forward again, but this time, she didn't hold back. She kicked him, sending him flying. Fu Yucheng caught off guard, fell to the ground with a groan. He was already injured, and the pain from the fall was so intense that his vision darkened. He looked up only to see Leng Sa looking down at him. "Fu Yucheng, you've gone too far." The same words.

Fu Yucheng was nearly consumed by anger. "Leng Mingyue, who do you think you are? How dare you attack me! You…"

"She might be a nobody, but what about me?" A cold voice abruptly sounded at the entrance, chilling everyone present as if freezing them in place.
