In the room, Ye Wanwan did not ease up even after Lian Zixin’s departure; instead, she became even more restless.
Since learning the truth, she felt that Lian Zixin was essentially thwarting her existence. Not only was she unable to help with anything, but now, she seemed to be continuously hindering her. She genuinely worried that Lian Zixin’s words had aroused suspicion on her father’s part.
However, for now, she couldn’t act recklessly. If her father didn’t have suspicions and she exposed herself, it would be foolish.
As for her mother, she wasn’t concerned. Her mother was very lenient with Lian Zixin and never questioned her actions.
Her greatest worry now was about Ye An’an. She didn’t know who Ye An’an was and how much she knew about the events of the past. What puzzled her even more was the purpose behind Ye Aryan’s series of actions.
To her, the unknown was the most frightening.
She had considered investigating Ye An’an to find out more about her. However, she eventually abandoned the idea. Given that Ye An’an was currently Huangfu Lings fiancée, any discovery of her actions by the Huangfu family could lead to complications. No matter the explanation, it might not be enough to convince them. Worse, it could strain the relationship between the two families, making her a scapegoat for the Ye family.
With this in mind, Ye Wanwan made a decision – she needed to expedite the alliance with the Murong family. Only by tying herself to the Murong family could her position in the Ye family become more secure.
On the other hand, the atmosphere between Huangfu Ruiling and the others remained harmonious. At least, it could be said that the host and guests were enjoying themselves. However, before they finished their lunch, Ye Hongxuan devised a way to dismiss Lian Mengzhu.
After Lian Mengzhu left the private room, Ye Hongxuan turned to Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan. Without beating around the bush, he directly asked, “Master Huangfu, Niiss Ye, what is the purpose of this lunch that you’ve invited us to today?”
Huangfu Ruiling didn’t answer directly, but Ye Lengan smiled faintly and said, “Master Ye, what do you mean? Do you believe there’s a hidden motive behind our invitation? Or perhaps, you think there’s something on you that we desire?”
“l don’t mean that,” Ye Hongxuan explained. “I simply don’t think so. Miss Ye, there’s no need for beating around the bush. I don’t see any reason to hide.”
“In truth, I have nothing to hide,” Ye Lengan said with a faint smile. “However, Master Ye, don’t you find it strange that your wife’s sister is so concerned about your daughter?”
“Didn’t my wife explain the reason just now?” Ye Hongxuan became alert. “Moreover, having an additional person caring for my daughter is a good thing.”
Ye Leng’an chuckled with a hint of sarcasm. “As long as you have your own ideas, Master Ye. I just find it strange, which is why I mentioned it. Especially today, the reproachful tone from Mrs. Ye’s younger sister doesn’t sound much like an aunt! Speaking of which, Miss Ye doesn’t resemble Master Ye much; instead, she looks more like Mrs. Ye!”
“Indeed, Wanwan resembles my wife more.” Ye Hongxuan felt not only vigilant but also increasingly suspicious.
“No wonder.” Ye Lengan seemed to have an epiphany. “No wonder I feel Miss Ye looks more like your wife’s sister! It’s common for a niece to resemble her aunt! ”
After hearing these words, Ye Hongxuan had a vague guess but, upon careful consideration, found it unlikely. However, even so, a seed of doubt had been planted in his heart.
Subsequently, Ye Hongxuan didn’t continue to pry further. He could already sense that Ye An’an was the one orchestrating this, but it was evident that she intended to convey something indirectly. So, even if he persisted with his inquiries, it would likely be futile..
