Chapter 292: Chapter 291 Are You That Anxious? (1)
Strange, why did hearing Zhou Yalin say the word "exchange" cause some vague, familiar images to flash through her mind, making her feel so peculiar, as if her Heart was suddenly clenched, with a stifling sensation?
Dong Xin Yan instinctively covered her Heart with her hand, feeling quite incredulous.
Zhou Yalin noticed Dong Xin Yan’s sudden change in expression and hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong? Is your head hurting again?"
Dong Xin Yan frowned, looked at Zhou Yalin, pursed her red lips, thought for a moment, and still asked, "Miss Zhou, may I ask... have we ever had such a conversation before?"
"Have you ever said the word ’exchange’ to me before?"
"Wh-what?"
Zhou Yalin hadn’t expected Dong Xin Yan to suddenly say such a thing. Her black pupils abruptly contracted, and her hands suddenly clenched tightly. Had she... remembered something?
Impossible, impossible.
Her eyes flickered slightly, subconsciously avoiding Dong Xin Yan’s gaze, forcing out a slight smile, and replied as calmly as possible, "How could that be."
Indeed, how could that be.
What kind of exchange could there be between her and Zhou Yalin?
She must have been troubled by Gu Ningyi recently, which was driving her crazy.
Dong Xin Yan shook her head, trying to dismiss those strange images from her mind, and smiled helplessly, "I’m sorry, maybe I’m just too tired lately!"
Zhou Yalin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and forced another smile, "It’s okay."
Zhou Yalin seemed not to be as she imagined, much better than those wealthy heiresses like Yuan Shitang and Qian, gentle, well-educated, with the demeanor of a true lady of a distinguished family. No wonder Gu Ningyi loved her so deeply.
Dong Xin Yan looked at her, and suddenly a light bulb went off in her mind.
Could she ask her for help with Ziyang’s matter? To be honest, although she had decided to go to Madam Gu, she actually wasn’t confident in her heart.
Madam Gu dotes on Gu Ningyi, and she knows this better than anyone. If she goes to her, she might not believe her, might not help her. But if it’s Zhou Yalin... she’s such a good person, if she sincerely asked her for help, she would help her, right?
Dong Xin Yan couldn’t care less at this moment; she was truly at her wit’s end, and she couldn’t afford to miss any chance.
Dong Xin Yan steadied herself, carefully considered her words, then slowly spoke, "Miss Zhou, the exchange between me and Gu Ningyi involves my fiancé, my fiancé he..."
But before Dong Xin Yan could finish her sentence, Zhou Yalin’s eyes widened slightly and she abruptly interrupted her, "Your fiancé? Ziyang? What’s wrong with Ziyang?"
Ziyang?
Why would Zhou Yalin call him that?
The tone seemed as if she knew him?
Dong Xin Yan’s words were suddenly choked back, and after a long while she said, somewhat surprised, "Miss Zhou, do you... know Ziyang?"
Zhou Yalin then realized her earlier slip, felt a moment of panic flash across her heart, but quickly regained her composure, "I don’t know him, but I’ve seen him a few times at parties."
She glossed over it lightly and continued, "What exactly has happened?"
Although Dong Xin Yan found it strange, she didn’t dwell on it, and recounted the events of the past period in detail, though certain parts were wholly omitted, not a single word mentioned.
Those things, for a lifetime, would never be exposed.

After leaving the café, Dong Xin Yan looked up slightly, the warm sunshine falling on her, as if dispelling all the gloom from her body. Zhou Yalin agreed to help her, once Ziyang was out, everything would be over.
