“Nangong Riming should be her best choice now,” Huangfu Ruiling continued. “Because of the previous plagiarism incident, coupled with the subsequent events, the Ye family’s company has suffered some losses. It’s not a severe setback, but it’s significant.”
“It seems Ye Li is attributing all these losses to Ye Xiyuan.” Ye Lengan smirked sarcastically. “However, now that Ye Xiyuan has connected with Nangong Riming, her position in the Ye family will undoubtedly rise.”
She knew Ye Li’s profit-centric nature all too well. In his eyes, gains outweighed everything. Even if Ye Xiyuan was his biological daughter, he valued benefits over their relationship. Moreover, Ye Xiyuan had only recently returned, so their emotional bond was superficial.
Huangfu Ruiling shrugged, indifferent. “Although Nangong Riming is
Nangong Xuyao’s cousin, he doesn’t hold a prominent position in the Nangong family. ”
“He doesn’t need to have an important position!” Ye Lengan smiled. “For a small family like the Ye family, getting close to the four major families, even if indirectly, is a significant achievement. Moreover, Nangong Riming is from the main family. Establishing any connection with the Nangong family ensures a continuous flow of benefits.’
She couldn’t believe that Ye Xiyuan would be with someone like Nangong
Riming just for benefits. How could someone who had interacted with Nangong Xuyao still choose Nangong Riming?
Huangfu Ruiling nodded, adding, “Nangong Riming isn’t foolish. Though he’s a bastard, being from the main family makes it impossible for him to marry
Ye Xiyuan.”
Even if Nangong Rimings status in the Nangong family wasn’t high, he wasn’t someone the Ye family could reach. Ye Xiyuan’s previous encounter with Nangong Xuyao was just a coincidence, and it wouldn’t have happened without Ye Xiyuan’s deception.
Ye Leng’an chuckled. “Maybe Ye Xiyuan has some tricks up her sleeve to make
Nangong Riming marry her in the end! However, it’s unexpected that Ye
Xiyuan is dating Nangong Riming. Wasn’t the Nangong family’s matriarch Ye
Xiyuan’s godmother? How can she let this happen?”
Earlier, the Nangong family’s matriarch, Murong Yanshu, had celebrated Ye Xiyuan’s adoption as her goddaughter.
Despite the chaos during the banquet, the result remained the same – Ye Xiyuan became Murong Yanshu’s goddaughter. Although Murong Yanshu paid little attention to her afterward, now that Ye Xiyuan had connected with
Nangong Riming again, how would Murong Yanshu accept it? Especially since Ye Xiyuan still held the title of her goddaughter.
“Ye Xiyuan is no longer Murong Yanshu’s goddaughter,” Huangfu Ruiling said with a sarcastic smile. “She was able to get close to Nangong Riming by using Murong Yanshu’s name and creating an encounter with him. Murong Yanshu won’t allow the other party to keep using her. So, after the news of Ye Xiyuan and Nangong Riming broke, she announced the severance of ties with Ye Xiyuan. She no longer has this goddaughter.”
Ye Lengan laughed. “l really don’t know if being Murong Yanshu’s goddaughter or Nangong Rimings girlfriend is better for Ye Xiyuan. She probably wanted both, but unfortunately, Murong Yanshu made the decision for her.’
Maybe Murong Yanshu was involved in this! Murong Yanshu was the Nangong family’s matriarch. It was almost impossible for a small fry like Ye Xiyuan to cause trouble under her nose.
So, she suspected that all of this might be Murong Yanshu’s plan to get rid of Ye Xiyuan. Of course, the ultimate reason was Ye Xiyuan’s greed.
Huangfu Ruiling took Ye Leng’an’s hand and smiled faintly. “Let’s not bother about these things for now. Weren’t you in high spirits just now?”
“That’s true.” Ye Lengan nodded, pulling Huangfu Ruiling. “Let’s go ahead and take a look. I saw a ring there that seemed interesting.”
Ye Xiyuan’s situation was just a joke for the time being. It couldn’t affect her mood anymore. She was only paying attention to Ye Xiyuan because she hadn’t yet avenged her first life.
She wouldn’t let Ye Xiyuan off, but she wouldn’t let hatred take over her life.
With a fresh start and a lover by her side, she wouldn’t let hatred affect her.
That night, Ye Lengan and Huangfu Ruiling roamed the night market until past eleven.
In another villa within the Huangfu familys old estate, though it was late at night, Li Yiran hadn’t rested. She sat in her room seemingly lost in thought.
The room was large, almost the size of an entire apartment. The decorations were exquisite and valuable. The entire room exuded a subtle luxury.
Despite staying in such a luxurious room, Li Yiran felt no joy. Her belly was bulging, yet she didn’t look bloated; instead, she radiated a maternal beauty. It could be said that the current her had an additional charm compared to her previous otherworldly beauty. Li Yiran stroked her belly, a trace of gloominess in her eyes.
She was seven months pregnant and approaching full term. During this period, she stayed in the ancestral mansion, cared for by Nangong Xiyu. Although the child wasn’t related to Nangong Xiyu, she took care of her earnestly. Even so, Li Yiean couldn’t feel at ease. Especially during the pregnancy, Huangfu Ruixiang hadn’t visited once.
She didn’t know what Huangfu Ruixiang was thinking, but if she couldn’t win his favor, the situation would be unfavorable even after the child’s birth..
