Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Originally, if things had settled down like this, then there would have been nothing to worry about.

However, after everyone had taken their seats, Murong Yumeng spoke up once again. She looked at Xiao Xueqing with a hint of apology on her face. Xueqing, Im truly sorry. Zhijie didnt mean to say those things earlier. He only spoke out of line to defend me, so please dont take it to heart.

With just those words, Xiao Xueqings recently improved mood was instantly overshadowed by a layer of gloom. She narrowed her eyes, glaring fiercely at Murong Yumeng, indicating another potential argument.

On the sidelines, Zhong Hanyun immediately restrained Xiao Xueqing and gently shook his head at her.

Xiao Xueqing, who had previously been full of anger, also came to her senses. She realized that continuing to quarrel with Murong Yumeng at this moment would only make her appear in the wrong, regardless of the actual circ.u.mstances.

As Xiao Xueqing chose to remain silent, the matter was considered closed.

Soon, the stall owner brought out their ordered dishes. For a while, everyone ate quietly.

The silent ambiance clashed with the bustling chatter around them, yet everyones expressions remained composed, preventing the silence from becoming awkward.

While enjoying her noodles, Murong Yumeng subtly cast a glance at Xiao Xueqing, her eyes reflecting an unknown gleam.

On the other hand, after finis.h.i.+ng their noodles, Ye Lengan led Huangfu Ruiling outside. She intended to continue enjoying herself outdoors!

Since Murong Yumeng and her group arrived late, they hadnt eaten yet.

Upon seeing Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan leaving, Murong Yumeng glanced up. She then redirected her attention back to her noodles.

Meanwhile, Ye Lengan and Huangfu Ruiling roamed through the gathering, clearly having a delightful time.

In contrast, the atmosphere of the Ye family in the capital was far from pleasant.

The situation at the Ye Group was deteriorating rapidly. Previously, due to Ye Xiyuans plagiarism scandal, the Ye Group had already suffered a severe blow. Later, taking advantage of the Li familys misfortune, the Ye family attempted to gain benefits. They had never antic.i.p.ated that the Li family not only survive but also regain its former glory. With their strength restored, the Li family wouldnt easily forgive the Ye family.

Due to this series of setbacks, the Ye Group was almost on the verge of collapse. Initially, after Ye Xiyuan and Nangong Riming got engaged, it provided the Ye Group with a glimmer of hope. People, out of respect for Nangong Rimings reputation, also offered some concessions to the Ye Group. However, who could have predicted that later, when Ye Li sought Nangong Rimings a.s.sistance, he would be met with a refusal from Ye Xiyuan.

Because of these various reasons, the Ye Group was now on the brink of bankruptcy.

Inside the s.p.a.cious Ye familys villa, only Ye Li and Lin Wanqin were present. Ye Anyun was still at school, aware of the familys situation but not fully informed.

As for Ye Xiyuan, she had moved out to live with Nangong Riming after their engagement and hadnt returned home in a while.

Currently, only Ye Li and Lin Wanqin occupied the living room, both wearing solemn expressions as if discussing a serious matter.

Is it wise for us to proceed like this? Lin Wanqin looked at Ye Li, a hint of worry creasing her face. We have no idea what that person intends to do with those items. Should we simply hand them over? What if something goes wrong?

What concern is it of ours? Ye Lis expression turned cold. Have you forgotten? Weve already swallowed our pride and sought Ye Lengans help. And what did we get? Not only did she refuse to a.s.sist us, but she also humiliated us. Have you forgotten all of that?

I havent forgotten, Lin Wanqin responded promptly. But even though I detest her, I dont wish her harm.

Are we the ones causing harm? Ye Li snorted disdainfully. What have we done? Weve done nothing. Merely handing those things over to that person. Even if harm befalls someone, it wont be our doing.

But Lin Wanqin hesitated. Why would an ordinary person desire such items? Handing them over like this surely cant lead to anything good. If something were to happen to Ye Lengan, wouldnt we be accomplices?

Are you still worried about others at a time like this? Ye Li cast a cold glance at Lin Wanqin. Do you think I should stand by and watch the Ye Group go bankrupt? This is our only chance. If we miss it, the Ye Group will have no future.

Lin Wanqin pursed her lips tightly, eventually murmuring after a pause, Then should we try reaching out to Xiyuan again? Maybe

Do you really believe we can depend on that wicked daughter now?

At the mention of Ye Xiyuan, Ye Lis expression soured further. With the Ye Group in its current state, shes truly indispensable! Causing so much trouble, yet refusing to help in the end. If we had known, we wouldnt have welcomed her back.

The thought pained him deeply, especially now that he saw Ye Lengan was engaged to the head of the Huangfu family. His regret intensified.

If they hadnt welcomed Ye Xiyuan back initially, the Ye Group wouldnt have faced its current predicament due to her meddling.

If Ye Xiyuan hadnt returned, Ye Lengan wouldnt have left either. Now, they were about to form a marriage alliance with the Huangfu family, with Huangfu Ruiling becoming their family head. With just this relations.h.i.+p, the Ye Group could have soared to new heights.

Hearing her husbands dissatisfaction with Ye Xiyuan, Lin Wanqin opened her mouth but refrained from speaking up in Ye Xiyuans defense. Must we really hand over those items?

Yes, we must, Ye Li replied without hesitation. As long as I can save the Ye Group, Ill do anything. Moreover, by handing over those items, well receive a significant sum of money. With that capital, the Ye Group can be saved. Theres no room for hesitation now.

Seeing Ye Lis resolute demeanor, Lin Wanqin could only sigh and say nothing more.

After all, she had already made all the arguments she could to persuade him, but her husband refused to listen. There was nothing more she could do. Moreover, her actions werent morally objectionable.

As for what that person would do afterward, it was beyond her control.
