Seeing Huangfu Ruilings genuinely surprised expression, Ye Lengan smiled slightly and then spoke, You really couldnt tell at all! Zhongyu Lingshan today looks quite similar to me! If I didnt know better, Id have thought Lian Mengzhu gave birth to a pair of twins!

No, perhaps more accurately, she and Zhongyu Lingshan gave off a similar vibe. It was just unclear whether it was a coincidence or intentional.

After hearing Ye Lengans response, Huangfu Ruiling couldnt help but furrow his brows. She looks like you?

Yes! Ye Lengan nodded earnestly. I believe your mothers insistence on persuading you to stay for lunch today is related to this. I just wonder if its her idea or the Hidden Worlds Zhongyu familys.

In her heart, she leaned more towards the decision made by the Hidden Worlds Zhongyu family. After all, it was not easy for a mortal world family to contact the Hidden World. Besides, she remembered Zhongyu Liuying mentioning earlier that Zhongyu Lingshan was a direct descendant of the Hidden Worlds Zhongyu family.

Huangfu Ruilings tone carried a hint of coldness. Their plans have nothing to do with me. However, if they expect my cooperation, its out of the question.

Hearing Huangfu Ruilings words, Ye Lengan chuckled softly. If your mother saw this, shed be livid. But I must admit, I admire their persistence! Regardless, they keep stirring up trouble.

Probably because they have too much free time, Huangfu Ruiling said lightly, a hint of danger in his tone. Seems like we need to keep them busy after the New Year.

Since Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying had so much free time, he had ways to keep them occupied.

If they found out, theyd surely regret it. Ye Lengan laughed and shook her head. But its still the New Year; let them enjoy it! However, the ancestral mansion should be lively during the New Year. Especially Huangfu Ruixiang, his days will surely be enjoyable.

To be blunt, having a doting wife and concubine was quite something. However, this was the 21st century, not feudal times. Coexisting under the same roof wasnt ideal, considering the potential conflicts between two women.

But none of this concerned her.

Dont worry about other peoples affairs, Huangfu Ruiling said, pulling Ye Lengan closer. His tone softened, lacking the earlier coldness, replaced with tenderness and indulgence. Lets think about how well celebrate the New Year together!

Ye Lengan didnt resist; she simply lay down, resting her head on Huangfu Ruilings lap. Last year, we were overseas for the New Year. This year, celebrating in the capital will be more lively. But theres one thing

She smiled at Huangfu Ruiling and continued, Neither of us knows how to cook. Well probably have to have our New Years Eve dinner delivered.

Alright. Huangfu Ruiling smiled back. There should be plenty of activities in the malls. Lets go check them out together.

Sounds good!

The two happily discussed their New Year plans, much like any ordinary couple. Or perhaps, it would be more accurate to say they were like newlyweds planning their lives together.

While they enjoyed their sweet, blissful moments, Zhou Cuians life wasnt as comfortable.

Previously, thanks to Murong Yumengs referral, she secured a part-time job. Then, due to Murong Yumengs recommendation, she was a.s.signed the task of procurement.

Anyone familiar with the industry knew how complex procurement could be. Zhou Cuian wasnt an expert, but she had heard stories. Still, being a novice, she didnt dare to be too bold. She only dared to discreetly accept some kickbacks from the mall.

The kickbacks werent substantial, just over twenty thousand. Yet, for Zhou Cuian, it was a considerable sum. It was even more than what shed earned working the entire winter break at the company.

Shed heard tales of people buying houses in the capital with such kickbacks. However, being just a seasonal worker and inexperienced, she wasnt daring enough. Still, she found solace in the relatively modest amount shed received, ensuring a safer path.

However, she hadnt antic.i.p.ated the trouble that ensued.

Of course, it wasnt because her kickbacks were uncovered but due to a quality issue with the batch of goods she procured.

This time, she was tasked with purchasing New Years gifts for the employees. Unexpectedly, there was a quality problem with the snacks in one of the gift boxes. Many employees discovered it upon opening.

The incident caused quite a stir, prompting the company to launch an investigation.

As the person directly involved in procurement, Zhou Cuian was naturally under scrutiny.

Upon hearing news of the investigation, Zhou Cuian panicked.

This procurement wasnt entirely clean; shed taken kickbacks to select this particular gift box. However, shed exercised caution at the time, personally inspecting each option before making her decision.

Though she sought some personal gain, she didnt want any issues to arise and implicate her. Hence, shed been meticulous in her selection.

Yet, trouble still found her.

Her greatest fear now was that if the company uncovered her kickbacks during the investigation, shed be ruined.

Taking kickbacks wasnt just a moral dilemma; it was a legal one. If the company pursued the matter, she feared shed face charges and end up with a criminal record.
