Chapter 384: Huangfu Ruiling’s Decision
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Lengan glanced indifferently at Ye Anyun, having no intention of going over to greet them. She looked to Huangfu Ruiling and directly said, “Let’s go in!”
She had nothing to say to the people opposite. Although she didn’t pursue responsibility from them, it didn’t mean they weren’t in the wrong. As the victim, she naturally didn’t want any further interactions with these people.
“Wait a minute.”
Ye Anyun stepped forward, wanting to grab Ye Leng’an’s hand, but a large palm grasped his wrist instead. Then he felt a sharp burst of pain as if his wrist might snap. He struggled to pull his hand back, but the other’s palm was like an iron clamp, firmly locking his hand so he couldn’t move. Cold sweat was already beading on his forehead.
Only when he could barely stand it anymore was his wrist finally released.
Huangfu Ruilings face was expressionless, his eyes calm as his words came icy cold. “If you don’t want this hand anymore, I’ll help remove it for you.”
Looking at Huangfu Ruiling and feeling the pain radiating from his wrist, fear rose unbidden in Ye Anyun’s heart. He saw clearly that although Huangfu
Ruiling was speaking to him, there was not a shred of his existence in Huangfu Ruilings eyes. Moreover, he had meant what he said. He truly wanted to break Ye Anyun’s hand.
He knew that if Huangfu Ruiling really snapped his hand today, even his father would not be able to get justice for him from the Huangfu family. The disparity between the Huangfu family and the Ye family was far too great. In front of a colossus like the Huangfu family, the Ye family were like ants.
Crushing them would be all too easy.
“l don’t have any other intention,” said Ye Anyun, suppressing the fear in his heart as he falteringly spoke. “l just wanted to ask Ye Lengan a question.”
“l think there’s nothing left for us to say,” Ye Lengan said straightforwardly. “What do you want to say? 1 think we made it clear last time. I no longer have anything to do with the Ye family, so pretend we’re strangers from now on!”
“Why did you tattle to my father last time?” Ye Anyun raised his head to look at Ye Lengan, his eyes full of accusation. “You can use all your sanctimonious reasons to reject me, but you shouldn’t have told my father. How are your actions any different from a villain’s?”
“l didn’t tattle to anyone,” Ye Lengan replied indifferently. “Besides, 1 don’t want any contact with anyone from the Ye family. So don’t think too highly of yourself.”
“But if you didn’t tell him, how would my father know I came to plead with you for leniency, to ask you to let Qiaomeng off?” Ye Anyun didn’t believe Ye Leng’an’s words at all. “Other than you, no one else knew I came looking for you.”
“Believe it or not,” said Ye Lengan, utterly unconcerned. “Anyway, I didn’t tattle to Ye Li.’
Having said that, she turned and walked with Huangfu Ruiling toward the private rooms.
Ye Anyun, left behind, watched their retreating backs with an inscrutable expression. He seemed to want to go after them but held back due to some misgivings.
After arriving at the private room, Ye Lengan immediately had the waiter come to order a large amount of dishes. Of course, she ordered a duo-flavor hotpot. She liked spicy food, but Huangfu Ruilings diet was light, and he
rarely ate such strong-flavored fare.
When the dishes arrived, Huangfu Ruiling only focused on serving Ye Lengan, constantly preparing food and adding it to her plate, while barely eating anything himself.
Only when Ye Lengan was full did she realize her own plate was clean while
Huangfu Ruilings was still piled with remnants. Yet in truth, she was the one who had eaten her fill while Huangfu Ruiling didn’t seem to have eaten much at all.
“Hurry and eat!” said Ye Lengan, rather embarrassed. “You were so busy taking care of me that you’ve barely eaten anything. What do you want to eat?
I’ll prepare it for you!’
“I’m fine. I usually don’t eat much anyway,” said Huangfu Ruiling with a gentle smile. “And seeing you eat so happily makes me very glad too.”
Hearing such words, even the normally shameless Ye Lengan couldn’t help but feel her face flush hotly. She hurriedly changed the subject. “Oh, didn’t you say you’d help send the medical bill to Nangong Xuyao today? Did you send
Huangfu Ruiling naturally knew Ye Lengan had changed the subject out of discomfort, so he smoothly went along with the new topic. “l had Li San send it out this morning. Nangong Xuyao should have received it by now.”
“This time, Ye Xiyuan will probably be quite busy,” said Ye Lengan with a cold laugh. “That’s good too. Let her know let her know that some achievements are not so easily replaced.”
Since she had chosen to impersonate Ye Lengan initially, she would have to bear the consequences of being exposed now.
“However, even if Nangong Xuyao knows, he probably won’t do anything to Ye
Xiyuan,” said Huangfu Ruiling, raising his brows. “Although the identity as Nangong Xuyao’s savior is fake, the identity as Mrs. Nangongs savior is an indisputable fact that everyone witnessed. Moreover, there was no news from the Nangong family today. In other words, what happened last night really was just an accident.”
Otherwise, the Nangong family would not possibly be so quiet today.
“l keep feeling it wasn’t an accident,” said Ye Lengan with a frown. “1 often sense some strange fluctuations from Ye Xiyuan. I don’t know what it is either.
1 suspect last night’s events are related to whatever is going on with Ye
Xiyuan. ”
She felt the things on Ye Xiyuan were very bizarre, so she naturally wanted to figure out what was going on as soon as possible. Originally, if her cultivation was still at its peak, she could have just directly searched Ye Xiyuan’s soul to understand everything clearly. But her current cultivation had not fully recovered, so searching one’s soul was still a bit difficult for the time being.
“Then find a way to investigate,” said Huangfu Ruiling lightly. “If you want to know, there will always be a way.”
Hearing Huangfu Ruilings words, Ye Lengan rolled her eyes, then smiled and said, “There is a way. But we’ll have to wait until Ye Xiyuan is at her weakest mentally.”
As long as Ye Xiyuan was mentally weak, it would be much easier for her mental power to invade Ye Xiyuan’s mind. At that time, she could uncover Ye Xiyuan’s secrets.
“Then the opportunity should come soon,” said Huangfu Ruiling with a nod. “Nangong Xuyao can’t tolerate being lied to. Even if he can’t do anything to Ye
Xiyuan, he probably won’t make things easy for her either..”
