Lian Mengzhu nodded.
The morning competition concluded with the victory of Huangfu Changmao from the Huangfu family.
The final match was scheduled for the afternoon, determining the winner between the Huangfu family and the Ye family. The family where the victor came from would gain priority in mining the spirit stone mine.
At noon, Ye Wanwan chose not to have lunch but continued to rest in the inner room. Although she had taken medicine, it required time for the effects to take hold.
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were aware of this, so they refrained from disturbing Ye Wanwan. However, they were not in the mood for lunch. Surprisingly, Huangfu Ling extended an invitation to dine.
They were puzzled by the invitation, but given Huangfu Lings status as the patriarch of the Huangfu family, they couldn’t refuse. After all, they aimed to improve relations between the two families.
Due to the incident involving Huangfu Ruiling and the subsequent event at the auction, the relationship between the two families had already become somewhat strained. Now, it was an opportune moment to use this occasion to mend ties and ease the tension.
The four of them walked out together and encountered Lian Zixin rushing over at the venue’s entrance.
Seeing Lian Mengzhu, Lian Zixin hurriedly approached, intending to speak. However, upon spotting Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, she immediately fell silent.
“‘Lixin, why are you here at this time?” Lian Mengzhu expressed surprise.
“Chenlang and Xiaolei didn’t participate in the competition this time!”
Yan Chenlang and Yan Xiaolei refrained from participating due to their lower cultivation levels.
“Sis, I heard Wanwan got injured, so I came to check on her.” Lian Zixin disclosed her purpose, sounding urgent. “How is she now?”
“She’s still resting in the inner room.” Lian Mengzhu nodded. “She has another competition in the afternoon, so she’s recuperating, hoping to participate in the best condition.’
“Why didn’t you try to persuade her?” Lian Zixin’s tone grew anxious upon hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words. “She’s already injured. How can she participate in the afternoon competition?! Isn’t this reckless? What if she gets more injured?”
Worried about Ye Wanwan, her tone carried a hint of reproach.
Lian Mengzhu was accustomed to Lian Zixin’s concern for Ye Wanwan and didn’t find it strange.
Ye Hongxuan, listening to Lian Zixin’s tone, frowned. “Zixin, your sister has already persuaded Wanwan. She’s very insistent, so there’s nothing we can do. Wanwan is our daughter. We care about her more than you do.”
These words made Lian Zixin’s expression momentarily unnatural. She quickly laughed and said, “I’m just worried about Wanwan. After all, I watched her grow up.”
“l know what you’re thinking.” Lian Mengzhu patted Lian Zixin’s shoulder and reassured her. “Wanwan is not a child anymore. We can’t change her decision.
You don’t have to worry too much. She will act within her limits.”
Ye Lengan, watching coldly from the side, had a faintly smiling expression. Although she didn’t speak, her expression was intriguing.
Lian Zixin naturally noticed Ye Leng’an’s strange gaze, feeling uneasy and recalling the bracelet.
Even though Ye Wanwan had told her that the baby back then wasn’t Ye An’an, seeing Ye An’an still triggered an inexplicable sense of panic. It felt as if everything about her was exposed in front of Ye Anan.
“Sis, I better go check on Wanwan!” Lian Zixin hurriedly said. “You guys go ahead!”
“Alright.” Lian Mengzhu nodded and reminded her, “Don’t stay too long. Let
Wanwan rest properly.”
“Understood.’
After saying that, Lian Zixin left hurriedly.
She had a feeling that if she stayed longer, all her secrets would be exposed to Ye An’an.
Watching Lian Zixin hurriedly leave, Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into an amused smile.
Soon, the group arrived at a high-class restaurant.
Given their status, it was impossible for them to eat in the hall. Additionally, seeing the arrival of these influential figures, even if there were no available seats, the restaurant owner would conjure up a private room. Furthermore, they arrived at the right time, with a luxurious private room available.
After ordering the dishes, the atmosphere inside the private room became somewhat peculiar.
Because nobody spoke first. Perhaps, they didn’t know what to say. Everyone sat in silence, and even the air carried a hint of awkwardness.
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu looked at Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan with confusion. Obviously, they didn’t believe the other party was merely treating them to a meal. However, they genuinely couldn’t fathom the intentions behind the invitation..
