Her Only Ally

"Maybe you didn't misjudge her. It's just that the environment can easily change a person," Huangfu Ruiling remarked indifferently. "A person from a small place, if not firm in their beliefs, can easily be dazzled by the splendor of the big city. The Zhou Cui'an you mentioned is evidently such a person."

Ye Leng'an shrugged, her tone devoid of much anger or sadness, rather quite calm. "I had previously, out of goodwill, tried to advise her. However, it's clear she didn't take it to heart. Perhaps, she still believes I'm envious of her good fortune!"

"Don't dwell on it," Huangfu Ruiling continued. "Such individuals aren't worth any of your thoughts."

Ye Leng'an smiled wryly at Huangfu Ruiling's remark before responding, "You know what kind of person I am. I don't bother with inconsequential matters."
