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 dont still think that anything exists between you and my brother. Even if this current situation didnt exist, theres no chance of anything happening between you two.

Li Qiaomengs mouth opened as if she wanted to say something but, in the end, she remained silent. She didnt 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 wasnt 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 familys banquet was held. The date was set and even preceded the Huangfu familys banquet, showing a clear urgency within the Nangong family.

Invitations to the families had already been dispatched.

Given Ye Lengans status, naturally, she wouldnt 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.

Whod 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 Lengans hand. As the matriarch of the Nangong family, Mrs. Nangong is not to be underestimated. Shes 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 wouldve 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 Xiyuans scheming has failed.

She has already started seeing Ye Xiyuan differently, otherwise she wouldnt have agreed to take her as a G.o.ddaughter, Huangfu Ruiling retorted, belittling Ye Xiyuans transparent intentions.

Indeed Nangong Xuyaos generosity is something to behold! Ye Lengan marveled. Despite knowing Ye Xiyuans deception at the onset, he acts as if nothing has happened. He even tolerates Ye Xiyuans continuous ascension within the Nangong family.

The relations.h.i.+p between Ye Xiyuan and the Nangong family isnt of consequence, Huangfu Ruiling casually replied. Have you not read the invitation carefully? It is Murong Yanshu whos adopting a G.o.ddaughter, not the Nangong family. This was a personal invite from Mrs. Nangong.

Theres such a distinction? Ye Lengan commented, surprised. l really wouldnt 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 Xiyuans little tricks dont amount to much.

Ha, it appears that Ye Xiyuan hasnt realized this distinction, said Ye Lengan, amus.e.m.e.nt apparent in her voice.. But, what interests me is, what exactly is Nangong Xuyaos perspective?
