He did not have any deep feelings for his so-called family. He didn’t know if he was just naturally indifferent to kinship or what, but in any case, he had
never been close to them since he was young. Even without that incident happening back then, his relationship with them would not have been any better.
But Ye Lengan was different. She was the first person he had ever felt a deep connection with, the first person who had stirred his heart, and the partner he wanted to spend his future with. From the moment they got together, he had never considered separating from her. In fact, he was even willing to give his life for her if it came to that.
Therefore, it was clear which one was more important between the two.
“Then it seems our first meeting probably won’t be too pleasant.” Although she said this, there was no sign of gloom on her face. Instead, she had a hint of a smile. “What a pity.”
Since Huangfu Ruiling had already said so, it seemed that his family might not be very pleased with her presence. However, she didn’t mind. She was well aware that Huangfu Ruiling didn’t hold them in high regard, so she didn’t feel the need to take the matter too seriously.
Moreover, she was never someone to willingly compromise herself. If Huangfu Ruiling were to allow her to be mistreated for the sake of his family, it would indicate that he wasn’t the right person for her. Three-legged frogs are hard to find, but two-legged men are abundant. If Huangfu Ruiling were to let her be mistreated, she would find herself a new boyfriend.
Of course, these were just thoughts in her mind. If she said them out loud, she was afraid Huangfu Ruiling would get angry.
After dinner, Huangfu Ruiling naturally went back to continue working at the company.
As for Ye Lengan, she planned to go home. She hadn’t thoroughly researched the Seven Star Flower after obtaining it. Now that she had time, she was going to go back and study it properly.
After Huangfu Ruiling returned to his office, before he could start listening to his subordinates’ reports, he saw Li San walk in with a grave expression.
He waved his hand for the two managers to leave first, then looked at Li San and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Li San had followed him for a long time and naturally knew his personality very well. So he wouldn’t disturb him while working unless there was something really important.
Li San stepped forward and placed the documents in his hand on Huangfu Ruilings desk, saying, “Master, previously you had ordered an investigation into whether there was any connection between Nangong Xuyao and Miss Ye.
The results are out now.”
Seeing Li San’s somber expression, Huangfu Ruiling leaned back in his wheelchair and directly asked, “Did you find something?”
Previously, he thought that Ye Lengan and Nangong Xuyao shouldn’t have
had any connections. It seemed things were a little out of his expectations now. And he didn’t like such surprises.
“Yes.” Li San nodded and reported, “It turns out that previously, Nangong Xuyao was once gravely injured after being betrayed. Later, he was saved by Miss Ye who happened to pass by.”
“An’an saved Nangong Xuyao?” Huangfu Ruiling couldn’t help but frown.
“An’ an has forgotten about it. Did Nangong Xuyao forget about this matter
Nangong Xuyao’s attitude toward Aryan was completely unlike how one would treat their lifesaver! Even if Nangong Xuyao liked Ye Xiyuan, he shouldn’t have treated his benefactor this way for Ye Xiyuan’s sake. Of course, if Nangong Xuyao was an ungrateful person to begin with, that would be another story.
“l don’t know what happened in the middle, but Nangong Xuyao thought the person who saved him was Ye Xiyuan.” Li San continued. “It’s also because he owes her his life that Nangong Xuyao treats Ye Xiyuan so well.”
“As expected of a blind man,” Huangfu Ruiling sneered coldly. “But this is good too. At least he has no chance anymore.”
He was jealous that Ye Lengan had once saved Nangong Xuyao before. Because he didn’t want anyone else to have such an intimate connection with
Ye Lengan, especially one involving saving a life. However, he was still unhappy that Nangong Xuyao had mistaken his benefactor. Because Ye Leng’an’s credit had been falsely claimed by someone else..
