“Don’t worry, it was just a casual remark,” Ye Lengan raised her hand, speaking with a smile. “In that case, Ye Wanwan’s luck does seem quite good. Originally, due to the Family Competition, her situation in the Ye family shouldn’t have been great. But now, with such a marriage proposal, she’s gained an additional safeguard.”
Even Ye Lengan couldn’t help but marvel at Ye Wanwan’s good fortune. Despite her tarnished reputation, she managed to secure such a favorable marriage. This Murong Xingrui was truly deeply devoted to Ye Wanwan!
Huangfu Ruiling spoke lightly, “In a family, the most crucial capital for settling down is one’s own strength; everything else is just superficial.”
Ye Leng’an nodded in agreement. “I just wonder if Ye Wanwan, after learning about her background, can calm down and focus on cultivation.”
Huangfu Ruiling refrained from commenting.
Inside the banquet hall of Huangting Hotel, the atmosphere was lively and extraordinary. Meanwhile, in one of the rooms at the ancestral mansion of the Huangfu family, Li Yiran was filled with resentment and anger.
Unaware that tonight was Huangfu Ruixiangs engagement ceremony, she stumbled upon this information when inquiring about the whereabouts of the Second Auntie. The servant unintentionally let it slip.
Upon hearing the news, Li Yiran felt the world spinning. Were it not for her persistent concern about the child in her belly, she might not have been able to endure.
The servant seemed to realize her mistake after speaking. Although the Second Madam hadn’t explicitly given orders, she knew that such information shouldn’t come from a servant’s mouth.
In a daze, Li Yiran returned to her room. Later, after contemplating the situation, she briefly adorned herself and intended to go out to intervene. Yet, before stepping out of her room, she halted. She remembered she had no way to leave this villa.
On ordinary days, she already had no means of leaving. On a day like today, she didn’t believe she could step out. Nangong Xiyu wasn’t a fool; she wouldn’t allow her to disrupt Huangfu Ruixiangs engagement ceremony.
In fact, Nangong Xiyu was quite satisfied with the fiancée Huangfu Ruixiang had chosen. Coming from a humble background, it was not suitable for grand occasions. Therefore, she had never considered ruining Huangfu Ruixiangs engagement ceremony. On the contrary, she was concerned that if Li Yiran were to really disrupt it, the next time Huangfu Ruixiang sought a young lady from a prestigious family, it would be even more disadvantageous for her.
So, she had long given orders that no matter what happened, even if Li Yiran was about to give birth, she couldn’t step out of the door. Even if there was a genuine issue, calling a doctor to the house would suffice.
Li Yiran sat dejectedly on the sofa. She felt powerless. She didn’t anticipate that just learning about Huangfu Ruixiangs new fiancée would result in an immediate engagement ceremony.
From the looks of it, Huangfu Ruixiangs chosen fiancée was indeed a
formidable opponent. For Huangfu Ruixiang to willingly hold the engagement
ceremony so swiftly, it must be either because of an illustrious background or genuine love.
Regardless of the reason, it wasn’t a good situation for her.
Thinking this, Li Yiran couldn’t help but touch her belly.
Her only bargaining chip now was the child in her stomach. It would be fine if it were a boy, but if it were a girl, then she would truly have no status beside Huangfu Ruixiang in the future.
No, it couldn’t be a girl. It had to be a boy. Otherwise, she truly would have nothing to say for the rest of her life.
Huangfu Ruixiangs engagement ceremony concluded smoothly.
After the ceremony, Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating returned to the
Hidden World together.
Life seemed to return to normal.
In the subsequent days, Ye Lengan dedicated most of her time to preparing for the college entrance examination. Typically, she spent the majority of her time attending classes at school, just like any ordinary high school student.
Time passed swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, the college entrance examination arrived.
However, on the day before the examination, an uninvited guest arrived at Ye Leng’an’s home.
As the next day was the college entrance examination, Ye Lengan chose not to go out on a date with Huangfu Ruiling but stayed at home to rest. Despite her confidence in achieving good results, she preferred not to draw too much attention.
Coincidentally, Huangfu Ruiling had traveled to Jin City for a business trip yesterday and would only return tomorrow, the day of Ye Lengan’s examination.
The college entrance examination was a crucial day in a person’s life. Although Ye Lengan wasn’t overly concerned, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t want to miss it.
After a video call with Huangfu Ruiling, Sister Li came upstairs to inform Ye Lengan that someone was looking for her.
Sister Li was the new house helper in Ye Leng’an’s villa. Initially, Huangfu Ruiling had also found her a military family member. However, due to family matters, that person ceased employment after two months.
Later, Huangfu Ruiling found Sister Li.
Among all the people, Ye Lengan was most satisfied with Sister Li. This was because Sister Li was not only diligent and adept at cooking but, most importantly, had some knowledge of medicine. Typically, she would help Ye Lengan organize medicinal herbs.
Upon hearing that someone was looking for her at this time, Ye Lengan felt somewhat surprised.
Although she was taking the college entrance examination the next day, not many people knew about it. In everyone’s eyes, she was just an ordinary first-year high school student.
When she came downstairs and saw the visitor, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but furrow her brows. The person was none other than Yuan Silei.
“Why are you here?” Ye Lengan walked over to the sofa and sat down. She looked at Yuan Silei, seated across from her, and frowned. “l thought we had already reached an understanding.”
Ever since their last falling out, she had ignored Yuan Silei, even when they encountered each other at school. Unexpectedly, Yuan Silei had come knocking at her door.
“Lengan, why are you so sharp?” Unlike Ye Leng’an’s indifference, Yuan Silei had a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened. “I came here today purely to offer my blessings. Aren’t you taking the college entrance examination tomorrow? I hope you open up a new chapter, excel in your studies, and get into the university of your dreams..”
