Zhongyu Liuying naturally followed closely behind her husband. However, she stole a glance at Ye Lengan.
Initially, she had planned to find a suitable time to talk with Ye Lengan. But now, it seemed that she really had to bring it forward. Otherwise, some people might indeed misunderstand their status and think that with their beauty alone, they could climb up to the upper echelons, without considering their actual background.
Seeing Huangfu Jingzhang and the others leave, Ye Lengan felt a little disappointed. If the other party had really continued to make a fuss, then she could have directly rebuked them. She did not expect that the other party was quite weak in the battle. Huangfu Ruiling had not even said a few words before they surrendered.
Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng’an’s expression and knew what she was thinking. He shook his head in amusement and said, “There is still a long way to go. Are you afraid that you won’t have a chance in the future?”
After hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s words, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “In your opinion, am I a warmonger?!”
No matter what, she would never admit it. If Huangfu Ruiling dared to say yes, then he would be in big trouble.
Seeing the threatening look in Ye Leng’an’s eyes, Huangfu Ruiling shook his head with a smile. “How could it be! I know that An’an is definitely a very gentle person, and she usually doesn’t like to argue with others.”
Although they had not been in love for long, his survival instincts were still very strong. Especially now that Ye Lengan was staring at him threateningly! He naturally wouldn’t speak nonsense.
Moreover, no matter what Ye Lengan was like, she was the cutest in his eyes.
Murong Yanshu heaved a sigh of relief. Today was the important day of the Nangong family’s banquet. As the hostess, she naturally didn’t want any mistakes to happen. If they had really quarreled here just now, the banquet would have been half ruined.
Fortunately, Huangfu Jingzhang could see the situation clearly and did not continue to make trouble here. Otherwise, it would have turned into an unsightly spectacle, and as the hostess, it would have been embarrassing for her.
Murong Yanshu personally led Huangfu Ruiling into the banquet hall. Compared to Huangfu Jingzhang, the nominal family head, Huangfu Ruiling, the actual person in charge, was obviously more important.
During this time, Murong Yanshu couldn’t help but glance at Ye Lengan a few times. She really couldn’t see what kind of ability such a young girl had to be able to make someone like Huangfu Ruiling fall in love. Obviously, other than her beauty, she did not find anything special about this girl.
Nangong Xuyao, on the other hand, couldn’t help but show a trace of disgust in his eyes every time he looked at Ye Lengan. He hadn’t forgotten what he had heard from Ye Xiyuan about Ye Lengan two-timing.
He couldn’t understand how someone like Huangfu Ruiling could fall in love with Ye Lengan. Moreover, Huangfu Ruiling seemed to blindly love her, believing whatever she said.
After instructing her people to take care of Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, Murong Yanshu left with Nangong Xuyao.
After making sure Huangfu Ruiling was far enough away that he couldn’t hear her, Murong Yanshu asked as she walked, “Xuyao, do you know Miss Ye?”
Hearing his mother’s sudden question, Nangong Xuyao was stunned for a moment. Then, he began to organize his thoughts in his mind, thinking about how to phrase his response in the best way possible.
This was because this matter did not only involve him but also Ye Xiyuan. He was worried that if he said anything wrong, his mother would have a bad impression of Ye Xiyuan.
When Nangong Xuyao didn’t answer, Murong Yanshu spoke again, “What? Is my question difficult to answer? Who exactly is Ye Leng’an?”
Obviously, her son was hesitating, wanting to hide something. This made her very unhappy. Of course, it didn’t mean that her son had to tell her everything, but she didn’t think this was a secret. If her son didn’t say anything, it must be for a special reason.
She felt that this reason should be related to the female companion he brought with him today.
“No, I’m just thinking about how to best answer your question.”
After thinking about it for a while, Nangong Xuyao finally told her about the relationship between Ye Leng’an and Ye Xiyuan. Although he didn’t know what his mother would think of Xiyuan if she found out, he felt that it was better not to hide such a thing. Perhaps his mother had already investigated it.
After hearing Nangong Xuyao’s description, Murong Yanshu suddenly understood. No wonder when she heard Ye Leng’an’s name earlier, it sounded familiar! It turned out that she had seen Ye Leng’an’s name in Ye Xiyuan’s investigation report.
Because the description of Ye Lengan had been brief and concise, she hadn’t paid much attention to it. She didn’t expect Ye Lengan to be so capable! She had become Huangfu Ruilings publicly acknowledged girlfriend, and even made him say the words “future wife.” It could be seen that this girl was definitely not just beautiful.
At the very least, Ye Lengan was a very scheming person. Otherwise, how could she win Huangfu Ruilings love?
Nangong Xuyao didn’t know what his mother was thinking. He quickly returned to Ye Xiyuan’s side.
Ye Xiyuan was sitting alone eating a small cake, her eyes occasionally glancing at the crowd around her. This made her seem a little out of place in the atmosphere of the banquet.
Actually, she didn’t want to sit here alone. It was just that she didn’t know anyone around her, and Nangong Xuyao, who could introduce her, had left temporarily.
Although the butler was by her side, she couldn’t do anything. She could only sit there quietly and wait for Nangong Xuyao to come back.
Soon, she saw Nangong Xuyao walking towards her. She immediately put down the cake in her hand, got up, and walked towards him.
“Brother Nangong, you’re back!” Ye Xiyuan walked up to Nangong Xuyao with a bright smile. “Where is Auntie?”
She didn’t forget that the main target of attending today’s banquet was to impress Murong Yanshu.. If she wanted to gain her favor, Murong Yanshu had to be present, right?
