Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Turning back, Ye Xiyuan cast a casual look at Li Qiaomeng and asked, “Is there anything else you require?”
“And what about Anyun?” Li Qiaomeng reluctantly asked, “How is he doing now? Is he still holding something against me?”
“Li Qiaomeng,” remarked Ye Xiyuan, as though hearing something amusing,
“Surely you don’t still think that anything exists between you and my brother. Even if this current situation didn’t exist, there’s no chance of anything happening between you two.”
Li Qiaomeng’s mouth opened as if she wanted to say something but, in the end, she remained silent. She didn’t know what she could or even should say.
With that, Ye Xiyuan turned around and departed, leaving Li Qiaomeng sitting there in silence, her thoughts inscrutable, It wasn’t until the authorities arrived to escort her back to her cell that the silence was broken.
As it stood, the biggest piece of gossip in the high society was the Huangfu family suddenly deciding to change the family head. No one had antic.i.p.ated that the Nangong family would make headlines first with their revelation of Mrs. Nangongs plans to adopt a G.o.ddaughter before the Huangfu family’s banquet was held. The date was set and even preceded the Huangfu family’s banquet, showing a clear urgency within the Nangong family.
Invitations to the families had already been dispatched.
Given Ye Lengan’s status, naturally, she wouldn’t receive any such invitation from the Nangong family. However, Huangfu Ruiling did receive one,
In the living room of the villa, there were only Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan. Huangfu Ruiling sat on the sofa while Ye Lengan lay across it, her head resting on Huangfu Ruilings lap, an invitation from the Nangong family in her hand.
“Who’d have imagined the Nangong family acting so quickly!” Ye Lengan exclaimed, “The invitations were sent just now, and the banquet is to be held in two days. Is there a rush? Or does Mrs. Nangong genuinely favor Ye Xiyuan that much?”
“l believe the aim is to eliminate any possibilities between Ye Xiyuan and
Nangong Xuyao,” Huangfu Ruiling nonchalantly replied, playing with Ye Lengan’s hand. “As the matriarch of the Nangong family, Mrs. Nangong is not to be underestimated. She’s acting swiftly, precisely because she fears that Nangong Xuyao will take drastic actions because of Ye Xiyuan.”
“Then it sounds like Mrs. Nangong is also against the union of Nangong Xuyao and Ye Xiyuan,” Ye Lengan commented, discarding the invitation onto the table. “l thought that since Ye Xiyuan saved her life, Mrs. Nangong would naturally view her in a different light. Who would’ve thought that even with this supposed life debt, Mrs. Nangong continued to object to the relations.h.i.+p between Nangong Xuyao and Ye Xiyuan? It seems that Ye Xiyuan’s scheming has failed.’
“She has already started seeing Ye Xiyuan differently, otherwise she wouldn’t have agreed to take her as a G.o.ddaughter,” Huangfu Ruiling retorted, belittling Ye Xiyuan’s transparent intentions.
“Indeed Nangong Xuyao’s generosity is something to behold!” Ye Lengan marveled. “Despite knowing Ye Xiyuan’s deception at the onset, he acts as if nothing has happened. He even tolerates Ye Xiyuan’s continuous ascension within the Nangong family.”
“The relations.h.i.+p between Ye Xiyuan and the Nangong family isn’t of consequence,” Huangfu Ruiling casually replied. “Have you not read the invitation carefully? It is Murong Yanshu who’s adopting a G.o.ddaughter, not the Nangong family. This was a personal invite from Mrs. Nangong.”
“There’s such a distinction?” Ye Lengan commented, surprised. “l really wouldn’t have antic.i.p.ated that. It seems Mrs. Nangong indeed errs on the side of caution! Even in the face of her savior, Ye Xiyuan, she remains prudent.”
“How can the matriarch of the Nangong family be a simple personality?” replied Huangfu Ruiling. “In her presence, Ye Xiyuan’s little tricks don’t amount to much.’
“Ha, it appears that Ye Xiyuan hasn’t realized this distinction,” said Ye Lengan, amus.e.m.e.nt apparent in her voice.. “But, what interests me is, what exactly is Nangong Xuyao’s perspective?”
