Chapter 755: The Ye Family Is Near Demise

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Flattering remarks flowed incessantly from Nangong Rimings mouth, his obsequious demeanor suggesting that Huangfu Ruiling was his benefactor.

Ye Xiyuan, standing beside Nangong Riming, had turned pale. Nangong Rimings behavior made her feel utterly ashamed in front of Ye Lengan.

Huangfu Ruiling merely glanced at Nangong Riming before retracting his gaze, his tone cool as he said, You have disrupted us.

This simple statement brought Nangong Rimings chatter to an abrupt halt. He stood there awkwardly, a hint of bewilderment on his face. However, he quickly recovered, displaying no trace of discomfort.

Master Huangfu, I mean no harm. I merely wished to extend greetings, Nangong Riming smiled and explained. My father attended your engagement banquet. He is the Second Master of the Nangong family.

Huangfu Ruiling remained unmoved, not even acknowledging Nangong Rimings presence

Nangong Riming felt no awkwardness, but Ye Xiyuan, by his side, felt deeply embarra.s.sed. She felt like a clown being ridiculed by everyone.

Riming, lets return to our seats, Ye Xiyuan couldnt help but plead, tugging at Nangong Rimings hand. Lets not intrude any further.

Nangong Riming brushed off Ye Xiyuans hand impatiently, his face showing irritation. If you want to go back, go alone. Dont hinder me here.

Previously, he had been quite satisfied with Ye Xiyuan. Despite coming from a modest family, she handled herself with grace and possessed good looks. Moreover, there were deeper reasons why he agreed to their engagement.

However, he hadnt antic.i.p.ated her lack of tact. Today was a rare opportunity to meet the head of the Huangfu family, and he intended to seize it. Yet, Ye Xiyuan wanted to pull him away.

Nangong Rimings rebuke felt like a slap in the face.

As Ye Lengan sat there like a princess, basking in the favor of the Huangfu family head, she was forced to stand next to the overweight and unattractive Nangong Riming, desperately trying to please him. The stark contrast left her feeling utterly humiliated.

Unable to bear it any longer, Ye Xiyuan turned and fled. At that moment, she cared for nothing else but avoiding further humiliation in front of Ye Lengan.

Watching Ye Xiyuans departure, Nangong Riming couldnt help but frown, a hint of dissatisfaction flas.h.i.+ng in his eyes. However, he quickly averted his gaze, focusing once more on Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan.

Huangfu Ruiling didnt spare Nangong Riming another glance, instructing Li San to dismiss him.

Throughout the encounter, Ye Lengan remained silent, not even acknowledging Ye Xiyuan. Consequently, she remained unaware of Ye Xiyuans inner turmoil.

Soon after, Nangong Riming was escorted out. However, he persisted, repeatedly mentioning his name before leaving.

With tranquility restored, Ye Lengan turned to Huangfu Ruiling with a smile. We should have sat in the private room from the beginning, knowing this would happen!

Although Huangfu Ruiling had booked a private room, she wanted to experience the atmosphere of the hall, like any ordinary couple.

Its nothing, just an unexpected occurrence. Huangfu Ruiling shook his head. Such tactless individuals are rare. Encountering one today was unexpected.

Hearing this, Ye Lengan couldnt help but laugh. Indeed, Nangong Riming is quite peculiar. Despite your expression saying it all, he still wouldnt give up!

Huangfu Ruiling didnt deny it, merely raising an eyebrow without further comment. However, he seemed to remember something and spoke again. The situation at the Ye family doesnt seem promising.

The Ye family? Ye Lengans eyes lit up with understanding. You mean Ye Xiyuans family?

Since Ye Xiyuans plagiarism incident came to light, the Ye familys business has plummeted, Huangfu Ruiling explained. Moreover, when the Li family faced difficulties before, it seems the Ye family took advantage of the situation. Now that the Li family has recovered, theyve begun retaliating.

Theyve recovered? Ye Lengan was surprised. I didnt expect that.

Previously, with the falling out between Li Deze and Ye Xiyuan, it wasnt surprising that the Li family knew about the Ye familys actions. However, she hadnt expected the Li family to bounce back from their dire situation.

Huangfu Ruiling nodded. Hence, the Ye family is likely on the brink of collapse.

Didnt Nangong Riming a.s.sist the Ye family? Ye Lengan raised an eyebrow, puzzled. If Nangong Riming speaks up, the Ye family shouldnt be in such dire straits!

Moreover, Ye Xiyuan was already engaged to Nangong Riming.

Nangong Rimings status within the Nangong family isnt high, Huangfu Ruiling explained further. Additionally, Sun Waner has been suppressing Nangong Riming lately.

Sun Waner must be pregnant! Ye Lengans eyes lit up with understanding. Shes doing this to remove obstacles for her future child!

If everything had gone smoothly, Sun Waner should be pregnant by now. Though the pregnancy was still early, it could be detected. Hence, her current suppression of Nangong Riming was understandable.

However, it hadnt been three months yet, so Sun Waner probably wouldnt announce it just yet. Otherwise, Nangong Riming wouldnt be so composed now.

Perhaps. Huangfu Ruiling nodded. However, regardless of the process, the outcome is that the Ye family is on the verge of collapse.

Ye Lengans lips twitched. Indeed, the world is unpredictable. In my previous life, the Ye family was prosperous. I never imagined theyd meet this fate in this life.

Observing her expression, Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow. Are you feeling sympathetic?

Of course not! Ye Lengan rolled her eyes. I settled the score with the Ye family long ago. Their affairs have nothing to do with me. Hearing about it suddenly just made me feel a bit melancholic.

She was well aware that her grudge was with Ye Xiyuan, not the Ye family. Hence, her only target for vengeance was Ye Xiyuan.
