Although Ye Lengan was currently Huangfu Ruilings girlfriend, she still looks down on her. This was because Ye Lengan was not part of their social circle. In fact, if it weren’t for being with Huangfu Ruiling, she wouldn’t even qualify to sit in the same place as her.
However, despite her inner disdain, she didn’t show it. Regardless, Ye Lengan was now Huangfu Ruilings girlfriend. Even if she was giving face to Huangfu Ruiling, she wouldn’t express her contempt for Ye Lengan on this occasion.
Ye Lengan, sensitive as she was, naturally sensed Nangong Zilin’s disdain for her. However, she didn’t say anything. Firstly, because Nangong Zilin hadn’t shown it overtly, there was no need to investigate further. Secondly, their future interactions were likely to be limited, so she didn’t care about Nangong
Zilin’s opinion of her.
On the other hand, Huangfu Ruiling shot a quick shadowy glance when looking at Nangong Zilin.
After the introductions, the conversation began. However, the more talkative ones were Huangfu Jingzhang, Zhongyu Liuying, and Huangfu Ruixiang.
Nangong Zilin occasionally responded. Conversely, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, having taken their seats, remained relatively silent. It was almost as if their presence wasn’t crucial.
Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying were displeased with Huangfu
Ruilings behavior. They brought him back to support the occasion and show Nangong Zilin that despite being the family head, he was still their son. They wanted to make it clear that Ruixiang and Nangong Zilin were a suitable match.
Unexpectedly, Huangfu Ruiling returned with a cold expression, barely uttering a few words, creating an uneasy atmosphere.
Despite the silence between Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, the atmosphere remained harmonious.
Suddenly, a commotion outside interrupted the gathering. Shortly after, Butler Ford entered with a troubled expression.
“Butler Ford, there are guests here!” Zhongyu Liuying expressed her displeasure. “It’s noisy out there. What’s going on? Hurry and send them away.”
Today was Nangong Zilin’s first visit, and there must be no mistakes. Nangong Zilin was, by far, the most satisfactory candidate for her. Ruixiang might find it challenging to get such an ideal match in the future if this marriage faltered. Hence, she could not allow any mishaps.
Ye Leng’an, on the other hand, looked at Butler Ford with curiosity, asking with a smile, “Butler Ford, who is it? Why not let them in!”
Her sharp hearing caught all the noise outside. The person was none other than Li Yiran, and she seemed to bring a significant surprise.
At this realization, Ye Lengan cast a smug smile at Huangfu Ruiling, confident that since she heard it, he did too.
Huangfu Ruiling responded with a smile.
Butler Ford was perceptive and understood that, in the family head’s heart, Ye
Lengan was crucial. Ignoring Zhongyu Liuyings order, he looked at Ye
Lengan and replied, “Miss Yiran has arrived. She’s outside and wishes to come
”
Huangfu Jingzhang, Zhongyu Liuying, and Huangfu Ruixiangs faces showed traces of awkwardness upon hearing Li Yiran’s name. Especially Huangfu Ruixiang, impatience was evident in his expression. He thought he was getting along well with Li Yiran recently, and she seemed obedient. Unexpectedly, on the day he brought Nangong Zilin home, Li Yiran came directly. What was she up to?
“We have an important guest today. Let her go back!” Zhongyu Liuying ordered directly, “Whether she or anyone else, we won’t see any of them today.”
Though Huangfu Jingzhang endured, a hint of anger was still visible. If Nangong Zilin weren’t present, he might have told Li Yiran to leave.
Upon Zhongyu Liuyings order, Butler Ford remained unmoved. Until the family head spoke, he didn’t dare act independently.
Seeing Butler Ford’s stillness, Zhongyu Liuying felt embarrassed. When she looked at Butler Ford, her eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
Now, with Nangong Zilin present, she couldn’t command a butler. It was like losing face.
Ye Lengan observed, “Since she’s here, why not invite her in? Besides, I don’t think Miss Nangong would mind! ”
“Of course not.” Nangong Zilin smiled graciously. “As a guest, follow the host’s decision. You guys decide; I don’t mind.”
In her heart, she was curious about Miss Yiran. The reactions of others when they heard the name seemed strange. Now she wanted to find out what was going on.
“See! Miss Nangong has agreed.” Ye Lengan looked at Butler Ford, “Butler Ford, bring her in quickly.”
Unlike Zhongyu Liuyings order earlier, Butler Ford responded without hesitation to Ye Leng’an’s words, “Alright, Miss Ye, I’ll bring her in now.”
Zhongyu Liuyings face alternated between green and white. She didn’t expect
Ford to treat her and Ye Lengan so differently. It was clear that Ford valued Ye Lengan more. He executed Ye Lengan’s orders promptly, but when faced with her orders earlier, he did nothing.
Wasn’t it obvious that her status in the Huangfu family was inferior to Ye Lengan?
