Ye Lengan nodded, then, as if she had thought of something, her brows furrowed involuntarily, and a trace of impatience flashed across her face. Since representatives from all major families will attend, does that mean the Ye family will also send someone?

Just the thought of encountering someone from the Ye family made her uneasy.

If she once had expectations for her family, ever since learning about her true ident.i.ty, she felt it was better off without them.

Huangfu Ruilings eyes glinted with a hint of coldness, but soon, a faint smile appeared on his lips as he spoke. If you dont want to interact with them, just pretend not to recognize them. Besides, the Ye family has already issued a statement claiming you have no connection with them.

Ye Lengan nodded in agreement. Indeed, I have no ties with them anymore.

Although Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were her biological parents, they didnt raise her. Moreover, they were reluctant to let go of Ye Wanwan, whom they had raised for many years, treating her as their own daughter.

Therefore, the bond between her and her biological parents was shallow, and it was fading away. It wouldnt be long before it was completely severed.

After that, they didnt dwell on the topic any longer. Instead, they chatted aimlessly, without any particular focus. However, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

Meanwhile, in a small caf in the capital, Li Yiran sat at a table, her face betraying a hint of anxiety.

Today was supposed to be a day for family reunion. However, Huangfu Jingzhang suddenly decided to visit Huangfu Ruiling.

Upon hearing this decision, her heart skipped a beat. If Huangfu Jingzhang and the others were still around, she could have attended the reunion dinner with Huangfu Ruixiang. After all, with Huangfu Ruiling absent, others were already aware of her existence. So, even if she attended, though others might laugh at her, they wouldnt confront her directly.

However, with Huangfu Jingzhang and the others gone, it was a different story. She couldnt possibly attend with the second branch, right?

Moreover, she didnt dare to follow Huangfu Ruixiang to see Huangfu Ruiling. She hadnt forgotten the humiliating words Huangfu Ruiling had said to her at the ancestral hall entrance. She feared she would face humiliation again if she followed them.

In the end, she decided to spend the whole day in her room with the child

Unexpectedly, shortly after Huangfu Jingzhang left, she received a message from Li Yi, saying he had found something very important about Zhong Yating and needed to tell her urgently. Without hesitation, she immediately arranged to meet him.

With many people returning to the Huangfu familys ancestral mansion today, it would be troublesome if she were seen. So, they agreed to meet elsewhere.

After ensuring the nanny would look after the child, she went straight to the caf they had agreed upon, waiting for Li Yi.

Although it wasnt the appointed time yet, and there was still a long wait, she couldnt stay put at the ancestral mansion, so she decided to arrive early.

Every pa.s.sing minute felt like torture for Li Yiran, who eagerly awaited Li Yis news.

Finally, it was time for their meeting. Li Yiran spotted Li Yi entering. She suppressed her excitement, waving her hand towards him. Brother Li Yi, over here.

Hearing her voice, Li Yi turned and walked over. Soon, he sat across from her.

Brother Li Yi, youre here! Li Yiran didnt immediately inquire about Li Yis findings. Instead, she handed him the menu. Look at you, all sweaty. Take a look at the menu and order something. Sit down and relax first!

Though she was anxious, she remembered the lesson from last time. Li Yi was her only ally now; she couldnt let him leave.

Li Yi appreciated Li Yirans concern. Feeling warm inside, he didnt disappoint her. After ordering a gla.s.s of juice, he drank some water before speaking.

Yiran, you have no idea what I found during my visit to the Hidden World.

Li Yiran became even more anxious upon hearing this but managed to suppress it. With grat.i.tude and concern on her face, she asked, Did you encounter any danger, Brother Li Yi? If anything happened to you because of me, I wouldnt know what to do. Youre my only family now. I cant afford to lose you. Otherwise, Id be all alone.

Li Yi felt a warm ray of suns.h.i.+ne in the cold winter as he looked at Li Yiran, his gaze gentle. He felt that his efforts to investigate everything for her were worthwhile.

Yiran, dont say that, Li Yi said softly. As long as youre happy, whatever sacrifices I have to make are worth it. Didnt you once say Im your brother? In that case, everything I do for my sisters happiness is worthwhile.

Touched, Li Yiran was eager to get to the main topic. She wanted to know what Li Yi had discovered about Zhong Yating.

Soon, Li Yis expression turned serious. Yiran, I went to the Hidden World again to investigate Zhong Yatings supposed lifesaving act for the Second Young Master. After a thorough investigation, I discovered that Zhong Yating had orchestrated the entire incident from start to finish.

What! Li Yirans voice trembled but with excitement rather than fear. Whats going on exactly?
