Chapter 867: Her Only Ally

Maybe you didnt misjudge her. Its just that the environment can easily change a person, Huangfu Ruiling remarked indifferently. A person from a small place, if not firm in their beliefs, can easily be dazzled by the splendor of the big city. The Zhou Cuian you mentioned is evidently such a person.

Ye Lengan shrugged, her tone devoid of much anger or sadness, rather quite calm. I had previously, out of goodwill, tried to advise her. However, its clear she didnt take it to heart. Perhaps, she still believes Im envious of her good fortune!

Dont dwell on it, Huangfu Ruiling continued. Such individuals arent worth any of your thoughts.

Ye Lengan smiled wryly at Huangfu Ruilings remark before responding, You know what kind of person I am. I dont bother with inconsequential matters.

It was obvious Zhou Cuian wasnt within her circle of concern. The reason for bringing it up today was merely due to Huangfu Ruilings inquiry and she found the situation rather bizarre.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Huangfu Ruilings eyes. Zhou Cuians life has been too comfortable. Perhaps its time to give her something to do.

No need. Ye Lengan shook her head. Since shes inconsequential, theres no need to waste any thoughts on her. Besides, shes already been dazzled by the capitals allure. Her future doesnt seem promising. So, theres no need to deal with such a person.

She naturally understood Huangfu Ruilings intention to deal with Zhou Cuian. However, she felt it unnecessary.

Hearing Ye Lengans response, Huangfu Ruiling didnt argue further. Instead, he nodded, then continued, Since you say so, lets forget about it this time. However, Zhou Cuian better behave herself. If she targets you again next time, dont stop me.

Ye Lengan chuckled. In your eyes, am I some kind of saint? If theres a next time, I wont hesitate to act, and you wont either.

Huangfu Ruiling nodded before rising. He pulled Ye Lengan up. Well, its getting late. Lets go eat!

He hadnt antic.i.p.ated Ye Lengans early return, so he hadnt instructed the hotel to prepare lunch. However, it would only take a phone call for the hotel to prepare.

Ye Lengan pulled Huangfu Ruiling out, and the two of them planned to eat out for lunch.

Soon, they arrived at a renowned Sichuan restaurant.

Despite its name, it was actually a private establishment specializing in Sichuan cuisine. The owner, however, aimed for a high-cla.s.s clientele, resulting in an elegant and comfortable ambiance.

This restaurant was well-known in the capital and favored by many elite families. Reservations were hard to come by, usually needing to be made a month in advance.

However, for Huangfu Ruiling, this posed no issue. A simple phone call before leaving was all it took to secure a private room.

Though the owner aspired to high-cla.s.s clientele, he was flexible enough to always have a few private rooms available for top-tier individuals from elite families.

Of course, not just anyone had this privilege, typically restricted to family heads, matriarchs, or young masters.

These elite families referred to the four major families in the capital.

Thus, a phone call from Huangfu Ruiling was sufficient to secure a private room.

Ye Lengan enjoyed spicy food, hence their decision to dine at a Sichuan restaurant.

Guided by the waiter, they quickly arrived at their reserved private room.

However, there was a small incident on the way. Ye Lengan spotted two unexpected figures, causing her to momentarily hesitate. However, she quickly regained her composure, as if nothing had happened.

Once inside the private room, Huangfu Ruiling dismissed the waiter

Both Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan preferred to dine without a crowd of attendants. They enjoyed each others company, chatting and laughing.

After the waiter left, Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow at Ye Lengan curiously. What did you see just now? You seemed surprised!

I wasnt exactly surprised, just caught off guard, Ye Lengan replied with a smile, shaking her head. I didnt expect to encounter Li Yiran and Li Yi here. Especially Li Yiran. I thought she would quietly await the outcome at the ancestral house!

Earlier, she had merely glanced inadvertently. However, the other party hadnt noticed her.

If Li Yiran had indeed spotted her and Huangfu Ruiling, she should be feeling apprehensive now! After all, while Li Yiran and Li Yis relations.h.i.+p wasnt significant, if it reached the ears of Huangfu Ruixiang, Huangfu Jingzhang, or Zhongyu Liuying, it would be another matter.

Especially at this critical juncture, where she had just exposed Zhong Yatings matter. If news of her private meeting with Li Yi were to emerge now, she might follow in Zhong Yatings footsteps.

Hearing Ye Lengans response, Huangfu Ruiling didnt express any surprise. Instead, he calmly replied, Li Yi is Li Yirans only ally now. So, even if its risky, meeting Li Yi is quite normal.

Ye Lengan nodded, her expression solemn. Then, she smiled and said, I just wonder if Li Yirans invitation today is a gesture of grat.i.tude or if she has other intentions!

As Huangfu Ruiling had mentioned, Li Yi was Li Yirans sole confidant.

Li Yiran had initially believed she could vanquish Zhong Yating and rise to the top. Unexpectedly, things took a turn, with Zhong Yating being discovered pregnant. Thus, the outcome remained uncertain!
