It was also because of this that she felt this accident might not have been an accident. She didnt think Ye Xiyuan was the kind of person who would sacrifice herself for others. If there was no profit to be made, she didnt think Ye Xiyuan would save someone. What was more, what surprised her most was how Ye Xiyuan happened to save Murong Yanshu. Could her reaction really have been that fast?

Whether it was an accident or not doesnt have much to do with us, said Huangfu Ruiling lightly. The Nangong family will investigate this matter themselves. However, do you think Ye Xiyuan has the means to orchestrate such an accident? Keep in mind, the place where the accident happened was the Nangong familys territory.

Therefore, if Ye Xiyuan really wanted to create such an accident, she would first have to bribe someone from the Nangong family. But given Ye Xiyuans status, she simply couldnt do that.

l know that too, said Ye Lengan, pursing her lips before continuing. Whats more, if Ye Xiyuan had really planned this, it would have been too difficult. Not only would she have had to bribe someone in the Nangong family to tamper with the chandelier, but she wouldve also had to ensure Mrs. Nangong was standing right below it when it fell. Plus, Ye Xiyuan wouldve had to be there at the scene herself. Going through all those steps to make it happen would be nearly impossible.

Since you understand all this so well, why do you still think it has something to do with Ye Xiyuan? asked Huangfu Ruiling, looking at Ye Lengan beside him and raising his eyebrows. Arent you thinking too highly of Ye Xiyuan?

No, but its too weird, said Ye Lengan, the corners of her lips curling into a cold smile. Ive always felt there was something sinister about Ye Xiyuan. Just like with the high-level bad luck talisman from before, theres no way Ye Xiyuan couldve gotten her hands on something like that. Yet she had it, and could even stick it to my body. Thats why I think its very likely tonights accident is connected to her. Now an accident like this has happened and she just so happened to save Mrs. Nangong. She was already Nangong Xuyaos savior, and now shes become Mrs. Nangongs savior too. In the future, shell carry even more weight in Nangong Xuyaos heart.

While Ye Xiyuan may have saved Mrs. Nangongs life tonight, she wasnt Nangong Xuyao!s savior, said Huangfu Ruiling lightly. There was someone else who saved Nangong Xuyao back then. Ye Xiyuan merely a.s.sumed that persons ident.i.ty.

What? How is that possible? said Ye Lengan, shocked. Didnt Nangong Xuyao investigate? And shouldnt the real savior know their credit was stolen?

Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Lengan with a strange expression. It seems the real savior had no idea her credit was taken over.

No way! Ye Lengan laughed in disbelief before urging, It seems you must know who Nangong Xuyaos real savior was! Otherwise, you wouldnt have said such odd things to Nangong Xuyao tonight.

l do know. Huangfu Ruiling nodded. He looked at Ye Lengan and tentatively asked, You really dont remember anything?

Huh? Hearing this, Ye Lengan was confused for a moment. A thought flashed through her mind and she pointed at herself, hesitantly asking, Are you saying that I was Nangong Xuyaos savior?

It couldnt be that melodramatic! And in her memories, she didnt remember ever saving Nangong Xuyao!

It was indeed you, said Huangfu Ruiling with a nod. Think back carefully. Nangong Xuyao was injured and collapsed in a small alley. Afterward, you saved him but didnt take him away. Not long after, Ye Xiyuan also came to that alley and rescued Nangong Xuyao.

After hearing Huangfu Ruilings account, Ye Lengan tried her best to remember. Suddenly, a scene flashed through her mind.

It was true. Not long after she returned to this world, something like that did happen. At the time, as she was pa.s.sing by a small alley, she was suddenly grabbed by a b.l.o.o.d.y hand around her ankle.

Back then, she probably remembered her past self and was moved to compa.s.sion, so she saved the man who had been shot and wounded. It cost her quite a bit of spiritual energy, and she even lost a Nine-Cycle

Soul-Returning Pill!

She didnt expect that person would be Nangong Xuyao.

Thinking of Nangong Xuyaos various provocations toward her, Ye Lengan couldnt help but grit her teeth. Then it seems I was truly blind not to see what an ingrate I was saving.

Of all people, she actually ended up saving an enemy for herself.

Thinking about it this way, she really had been too foolish.

What do you plan to do next then? asked Huangfu Ruiling. Ye Xiyuan has been taking credit for what you did. I presume you dont want her carrying on like that!

Of course not, Ye Lengan said with a cold laugh. Although I didnt intend to ask for anything in return for saving him at the time, still, I cant let Ye Xiyuan steal the credit thats due to me. And that Nangong Xuyao really was stupid enough to mistake his savior.

Hearing Ye Lengan mention Nangong Xuyao, Huangfu Ruilings tone turned sour. You shouldnt have saved him in the first place.

Ye Lengan didnt notice anything amiss. Instead, she nodded in agreement. If I could turn back time, I definitely wouldnt save him. He wasted so much of my energy, but in the end, repaid it to someone else. Whats more, he wants to help others deal with me.

Sensing the dissatisfaction in Ye Lengans words, Huangfu Ruiling was quite satisfied. He continued, So you intend to tell Nangong Xuyao then?

Of course, I have to tell him, replied Ye Lengan with a nod. Its fine if he didnt know before, but now that he does, Ill definitely let him know. And he still hasnt paid me any medical fees!

He has no idea how much effort I spent to save him.. Forget about repaying me for saving his life, but I have to at least get the medical fees back! I cant be expected to save someone and not even get reimbursed for medical expenses
