Chapter 719: Her Scheme Foiled

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Lengan listened absently as Zhong Yating kept on chattering. In reality, her mind was elsewhere, and not a single word registered.

Zhong Yating had almost talked herself hoa.r.s.e, only to realize that the person in front of her seemed completely unresponsive. She cautiously looked at Ye Lengan, pondering whether she should just be straightforward. Despite her continuous hints, it seemed like she didnt grasp the implications.

Sensing the gaze from Zhong Yating, Ye Lengan turned and looked at her, saying directly, Youve said so much today. Whats the purpose of your visit? Just speak up! Theres no need to keep beating around the bush; I dont have the patience to go in circles with you.

Hearing Ye Lengans candid words, Zhong Yatings face showed a hint of embarra.s.sment. She hurriedly responded, No, I just

If theres really nothing to say, then please leave! Ye Lengan straightforwardly issued an eviction order. Were not acquainted, and theres not much to discuss.

Sister-in-law, Im about to marry Ruixiang, and soon well be family. Despite feeling dissatisfied with Ye Lengans behavior, Zhong Yating understood the principle that circ.u.mstances outweighed personal feelings. She continued with a forced smile, Well be sisters-in-law; wouldnt it be better to get to know each other sooner?

Ye Lengan found these pleasantries dull. I doubt you understand the bond between the two brothers. Even if you marry Huangfu Ruixiang, our interactions wont be substantial.

In one sentence, Zhong Yatings prepared words were stifled, unable to find an outlet.

Zhong Yating, Ill give you a chance. Ye Lengan looked at her, continuing, Just tell me your purpose. This chance is a one-time offer.

Anxious after Ye Lengans words, Zhong Yating didnt hesitate and immediately said, I want to marry Ruixiang. I hope you can help me.

What? Ye Lengan doubted her ears for a moment, wondering if she misheard. Do you know what youre saying?

Was Zhong Yating expecting her to act like Huangfu Ruixiangs mother? Huangfu Ruixiangs marriage had nothing to do with her. Was there something wrong with her head? Speaking about such matters to her was pointless!

Ruixiang and I want to get married soon, so we hope to have your and Big Brothers approval. Zhong Yating quickly continued, Sister-in-law, you shouldnt have any objections, right?

When you get married is your business, Ye Lengan said indifferently. Just like during the engagement. If you want to get married before us, I have no objections. Decide for yourselves.

Really? Thats great. Zhong Yatings eyes gleamed with joy. Then, as if facing a dilemma, she cautiously looked at Ye Lengan before continuing, Then, Sister-in-law, can you help inform Big Brother? After all, considering my status, its not appropriate for me to meet Big Brother directly.

Wanting to settle the marriage today, even if Huangfu Ruixiang wanted to object, it would be futile. So, regardless, she had to convince Ye Lengan to a.s.sist her today.

Speaking ambiguously now, Zhong Yating hoped Ye Lengan would think Huangfu Ruixiang had already agreed to the marriage.

This is a small matter. Ye Lengan looked at Zhong Yating with a half-smile. Ignoring her expectant gaze, she continued, Just ask Ruixiang to talk to Ling. Even if the brothers are a bit estranged, its still more convenient for them to discuss than us!

Zhong Yatings eyes brightened at the first part of the sentence. However, the latter part brought her from heaven to h.e.l.l. Her smile became somewhat unpleasant. Wouldnt this be too much trouble for Big Brother? Also, Ruixiang

Marriage is your affair. How can only you talk about it? Before Zhong Yating could finish, Ye Lengan interrupted, So, let Ruixiang speak for himself! A man should take responsibility!

Unable to refute, Zhong Yating could only maintain a forced smile. Then Ill let Ruixiang do it!

Despite her smiling face, anxiety filled her heart. She realized her plan for the day had failed.

Ye Lengan was unexpectedly unyielding. If Huangfu Ruixiang was willing to speak, why would she waste so much time here?

She didnt know if Ye Lengan genuinely felt it wasnt appropriate for her, a woman, to discuss such matters, or if she saw through her intentions, prompting such a request.

Do as you please. Ye Lengan nodded and calmly said, If theres nothing else, leave. I still have things to attend to; I wont chat with you here.

It was a clear order to leave. If she couldnt understand, shed be a fool. Though reluctant to leave, Zhong Yating didnt want to stay any longer. She stood up and bid farewell, Then, I wont disturb you anymore. If Sister-in-law wants to chat, you can find me anytime. Well be family soon, so theres no need to be polite!

Ye Lengan waved her hand, not offering a reply.

Glancing around, Zhong Yating left reluctantly.

The disparity between where she lived and where Ye Lengan resided was like heaven and earth.

As an outer sect disciple, she wouldnt even qualify to enter the Huangfu familys residence if she werent Huangfu Ruixiangs fiance. However, Ye Lengan lived in the best courtyard, with attendants and the finest food and drinks.

Although she and Ye Lengan were married to brothers, their treatment was vastly different. Despite envy and jealousy, she accepted the reality. Moreover, Huangfu Ruixiang was already the best match she could find.

Regardless, she had to marry Huangfu Ruixiang.

Watching Zhong Yating leave, Ye Lengan couldnt help but sigh.

A perfectly good day had been wasted.

However, judging from today, Zhong Yating wasnt an easy opponent. Was Huangfu Ruixiang lucky or unlucky? Why were all the women he encountered like this? In the future, when Zhong Yating faced off against Li Yiran, who knew what kind of scene would unfold?
