Chapter 671: A Call From His Mother

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As time pa.s.sed day by day, Ye Lengan found herself with plenty of free time. When not attending cla.s.ses, she devoted her time to alchemy.

Of course, she didnt neglect Huangfu Ruiling during her regular activities. Whenever she had spare time, she frequently visited the Huangye Group.

Nowadays, people at Huangye Group were already quite familiar with the prospective lady boss.

Today happened to be the weekend, and Ye Lengan had no cla.s.ses. In school, the graduating cla.s.s typically had makeup cla.s.ses on Sat.u.r.days and Sundays. However, despite partic.i.p.ating in this years college entrance exam, Ye Lengan was technically a first-year student in name. Therefore, she naturally and rightfully didnt have to attend makeup cla.s.ses.

The princ.i.p.al had no objections to Ye Lengans actions. After her return, Ye Lengan had taken the time to partic.i.p.ate in a simulation college entrance exam, scoring full marks in all subjects. This outstanding performance made the princ.i.p.al fully aware of her capabilities, leading to a considerable relaxation in his att.i.tude towards her.

With no cla.s.ses today, Ye Lengan joined Huangfu Ruiling at the Huangye Group, keeping him company while he worked.

Huangfu Ruiling was engrossed in reviewing various company doc.u.ments and managing affairs related to the Hidden World. Although not permanently stationed there, he handled most matters, sending them back for execution once reviewed.

Ye Lengan, on the other hand, sat on the sofa, engrossed in reading what appeared to be an ancient scroll. The characters on it were far from modern, giving it an ancient aura.

Despite working individually in the office, the atmosphere remained harmonious between them, even without much conversation.

However, the tranquility was abruptly shattered by a jarring ringtone.

Glancing at the flas.h.i.+ng number on his phone screen, Huangfu Ruilings expression turned cold. Answering the call, he listened attentively.

After hanging up, he noticed Ye Lengan looking at him with curiosity.

Who was that? Ye Lengan asked, sensing it wasnt a business call based on

Huangfu Ruilings tone.

My mother, Huangfu Ruiling replied casually. She said Huangfu

Ruixiang returned from the Hidden World and invited me for dinner. Hes back? Ye Lengan expressed surprise. Isnt he already an inner sect disciple? He should be cultivating in the Hidden World. Didnt you expect him to stay there for about a year? Why is he back so soon?

Amused by Ye Lengan!s series of questions, Huangfu Ruiling shook his head before responding, He just took a leave of absence. Even as an inner sect disciple, he can apply for leave. Its not like being in prison; you dont have to confine someone to one place.

Hes quite the troublemaker, Ye Lengan remarked with a sarcastic smile. Becoming an inner sect disciple and immediately taking leave to come back.

Seems like hes afraid of learning too much!

Huangfu Ruiling, indifferent to the comments, replied, Regardless, its his choice. Ive given him a chance. If he doesnt progress, the family wont invest any more resources in him.

Are you planning to go back? Ye Lengan blinked curiously. By the way, it feels like you havent been back for a long time!

No, Huangfu Ruiling responded decisively. Didnt we agree to go on a date?

Ye Lengan pursed her lips, smiling. Didnt you just acknowledge your mothers request on the phone?

l didnt, Huangfu Ruiling replied without hesitation. l merely said I understood, not explicitly agreeing to go back. How she interprets it is her own business, not mine.

Hearing his explanation, Ye Lengan chuckled. Looks like she might have misunderstood. They might all be waiting for you to come back for dinner. What will you do?

Thats their concern, not mine, he responded indifferently. Besides, Huangfu Ruixiangs return isnt that surprising. Theres no need to make a fuss about it.

Youre right, Ye Lengan agreed, nodding. Well, better get back to work!

Later, lets go watch a movie, have dinner, and then go shopping! Huangfu Ruiling nodded. Your decision.

However, I think we should dress up a bit before going, Ye Lengan suggested, glancing at Huangfu Ruiling. Otherwise, youll have to go there in a wheelchair, which could be troublesome. I dont want to push you around everywhere!

Meanwhile, in the Huangfu familys ancestral mansion

Zhongyu Liuying put down her phone, looking at Huangfu Ruixiang with confusion. Tell me, your return isnt a big deal. Why insist on having me call your brother back for dinner?

Zhongyu Liuying rarely contacted Huangfu Ruiling unless necessary, avoiding his cold remarks. His indifferent tone didnt sound like how a son should speak to his mother.

Moreover, Huangfu Ruiling was now the head of the Huangfu family. Facing

him, Zhongyu Liuying always felt like he was looking down on her. Despite being his mother, she had to look up to him, a difficult pill to swallow. Usually, if it wasnt necessary, she preferred to avoid any interaction with Huangfu Ruiling.

Huangfu Ruixiangs eyes flashed with a thoughtful expression, then he smiled and said, Mom, this time after I come back, who knows, it might be a long time before I return again. So, taking advantage of this opportunity, its perfect for the whole family to have a meal together!

Zhongyu Liuying sneered, saying, He doesnt treat us as a family! Look at him; he doesnt care about us at all.

Maintaining his smile, Huangfu Ruixiang continued, Mom, dont think so poorly of my brother. His personality has always been like this; hes just not good at expressing himself. I believe he still cares about us..
