Chapter 393: A Visit 1

“When guests come to visit, and you don’t even pour a cup of tea, is this your idea of hospitality?” Zhongyu Liuying criticized, “Don’t you understand even the most basic manners?”
No matter how she looked at it, she was very displeased with Ye Lengan. If not for Huangfu Jingzhangs order, there was no way she would have come here today.
“Guests are those who have been invited,” Ye Lengan retorted without mincing words. “You barged in here uninvited, and allowing you inside is already me being lenient.”
Both of them were newcomers to this situation, so why should she accommodate the other party? Many things were mutual, and just because Zhongyu Liuying didn’t like her didn’t mean she had to like her either. Since they were in a state of hostility, there was no need for pretense.
“You…” Zhongyu Liuying was infuriated by this attitude and turned to Ye Lengan with a confrontational tone. “I am Huangfu Ruilings biological mother. Aren’t you afraid that Ruiling will be angry when he finds out how you’re treating me?”
She couldn’t believe Ye Lengan would treat her like this. If Ye Lengan truly liked Huangfu Ruiling, shouldn’t she try to curry favor as her future mother-in-law?
“He won’t get angry.” Ye Leng’an’s tone was certain. She looked at Zhongyu Liuying faintly smiling. “Why do you think you hold such an important place in his heart?”
She could only say Zhongyu Liuying thought too highly of herself. Not just her, Huangfu Jingzhang was the same. Although they were Huangfu Ruiling’s biological parents, they should understand what kind of relationship they had, right?
“What do you mean?” Zhongyu Liuyings face turned pale and her tone grew urgent. “Did he tell you that he doesn’t value us family? Is that it?”
As she spoke, Zhongyu Liuying’s expression was very poor, as if she had suffered a huge blow. She seemed to know a certain fact, yet desperately denied it.
Ye Lengan did not directly answer Zhongyu Liuyings question, instead saying, “Does it matter if he said anything to me? You should know very well yourselves what the truth is. You’re fully aware of the position you hold in his heart. There’s no need for me to elaborate.’
After hearing Ye Lengan’s words, Zhongyu Liuyings eyes were filled with regret. She muttered softly, “As expected, he still remembers what happened back then. No matter what, he’ll never forgive us. He still blames us.”
Ye Lengan standing beside said nothing. A trace of suspicion flashed in her eyes. She didn’t know exactly what had happened back then, but it was clearly a major event capable of changing many things.
Despite her inner doubts, Ye Leng’an’s face remained unchanged, revealing no hint of her current thoughts. She would investigate what Zhongyu Liuying
was referring to regarding that past incident eventually. However, it was clear that now was not the time.
“So, what did you come here for?” Ye Lengan cut off Zhongyu Liuying, speaking directly. “If you have something to say, just say it. There’s no need to keep nitpicking here. I don’t have the time to play these fault-finding games with you.”
Ye Leng’an’s words brought Zhongyu Liuying back to her senses. She straightened her expression and collected herself before sitting upright, looking at Ye Lengan. “I came today to tell you we can agree to let you enter our Huangfu family. If Ruiling truly insists on being with you, we can reluctantly accept you.”
As she spoke, reluctance was evident in her tone, and her gaze looking at Ye Lengan still brimmed with disdain. It was clear how much distaste lay behind this acceptance.
Ye Lengan found it laughable. “Oh really? Actually, you don’t need to be so reluctant. I don’t like you all either. So let’s continue hating each other!”
“You…” Zhongyu Liuying did not expect such a response.
She felt that since she had already compromised, shouldn’t Ye Lengan happily agree at this point? Why was she so indifferent now?
