Lian Mengzhu nodded.
The morning compet.i.tion concluded with the victory of Huangfu Changmao from the Huangfu family.
The final match was scheduled for the afternoon, determining the winner between the Huangfu family and the Ye family. The family where the victor came from would gain priority in mining the spirit stone mine.
At noon, Ye Wanwan chose not to have lunch but continued to rest in the inner room. Although she had taken medicine, it required time for the effects to take hold.
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were aware of this, so they refrained from disturbing Ye Wanwan. However, they were not in the mood for lunch. Surprisingly, Huangfu Ling extended an invitation to dine.
They were puzzled by the invitation, but given Huangfu Lings status as the patriarch of the Huangfu family, they couldnt refuse. After all, they aimed to improve relations between the two families.
Due to the incident involving Huangfu Ruiling and the subsequent event at the auction, the relations.h.i.+p between the two families had already become somewhat strained. Now, it was an opportune moment to use this occasion to mend ties and ease the tension.
The four of them walked out together and encountered Lian Zixin rus.h.i.+ng over at the venues entrance.
Seeing Lian Mengzhu, Lian Zixin hurriedly approached, intending to speak. However, upon spotting Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, she immediately fell silent.
Lixin, why are you here at this time? Lian Mengzhu expressed surprise.
Chenlang and Xiaolei didnt partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion this time!
Yan Chenlang and Yan Xiaolei refrained from partic.i.p.ating due to their lower cultivation levels.
Sis, I heard Wanwan got injured, so I came to check on her. Lian Zixin disclosed her purpose, sounding urgent. How is she now?
Shes still resting in the inner room. Lian Mengzhu nodded. She has another compet.i.tion in the afternoon, so shes recuperating, hoping to partic.i.p.ate in the best condition.
Why didnt you try to persuade her? Lian Zixins tone grew anxious upon hearing Lian Mengzhus words. Shes already injured. How can she partic.i.p.ate in the afternoon compet.i.tion?! Isnt this reckless? What if she gets more injured?
Worried about Ye Wanwan, her tone carried a hint of reproach.
Lian Mengzhu was accustomed to Lian Zixins concern for Ye Wanwan and didnt find it strange.
Ye Hongxuan, listening to Lian Zixins tone, frowned. Zixin, your sister has already persuaded Wanwan. Shes very insistent, so theres nothing we can do. Wanwan is our daughter. We care about her more than you do.
These words made Lian Zixins expression momentarily unnatural. She quickly laughed and said, Im just worried about Wanwan. After all, I watched her grow up.
l know what youre thinking. Lian Mengzhu patted Lian Zixins shoulder and rea.s.sured her. Wanwan is not a child anymore. We cant change her decision.
You dont have to worry too much. She will act within her limits.
Ye Lengan, watching coldly from the side, had a faintly smiling expression. Although she didnt speak, her expression was intriguing.
Lian Zixin naturally noticed Ye Lengans strange gaze, feeling uneasy and recalling the bracelet.
Even though Ye Wanwan had told her that the baby back then wasnt Ye Anan, seeing Ye Anan still triggered an inexplicable sense of panic. It felt as if everything about her was exposed in front of Ye Anan.
Sis, I better go check on Wanwan! Lian Zixin hurriedly said. You guys go ahead!
Alright. Lian Mengzhu nodded and reminded her, Dont stay too long. Let
Wanwan rest properly.
Understood.
After saying that, Lian Zixin left hurriedly.
She had a feeling that if she stayed longer, all her secrets would be exposed to Ye Anan.
Watching Lian Zixin hurriedly leave, Ye Lengans lips curled into an amused smile.
Soon, the group arrived at a high-cla.s.s restaurant.
Given their status, it was impossible for them to eat in the hall. Additionally, seeing the arrival of these influential figures, even if there were no available seats, the restaurant owner would conjure up a private room. Furthermore, they arrived at the right time, with a luxurious private room available.
After ordering the dishes, the atmosphere inside the private room became somewhat peculiar.
Because n.o.body spoke first. Perhaps, they didnt know what to say. Everyone sat in silence, and even the air carried a hint of awkwardness.
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu looked at Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan with confusion. Obviously, they didnt believe the other party was merely treating them to a meal. However, they genuinely couldnt fathom the intentions behind the invitation..
