Chapter 380: Status Is Not Important
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Miss Ye…” Zhongyu Yiran hurriedly interrupted Ye Leng’an to stop her from continuing. “Today we are here to discuss you and Brother Huangfu. As for my matters, there is no need to trouble yourself over them.”
She had always concealed the true condition of her body from Zhongyu Liuying. Zhongyu Liuying knew that after her illness, her body had become much weaker, but she did not know to what extent. She absolutely could not let Ye Lengan reveal it today. Otherwise, Zhongyu Liuying would no longer care for her in the future.
Zhongyu Liuying was very puzzled. Both Ye Leng’an’s words and Zhongyu Yiran’s attitude confused her. However, as Zhongyu Yiran had said, the purpose of their visit today was for Ye Lengan and Huangfu Ruiling to break up. Everything else was unimportant.
“How can it be unimportant!” Ye Lengan clearly did not intend to let it go. She smiled and continued, “Miss Zhongyu’s body has already deteriorated to this state, yet you do not properly rest. A small cold could take your life. After all, I saved your life. I don’t want my efforts to be in vain!”
By this point, it was too late for Zhongyu Yiran to stop her.
As Ye Leng’an finished speaking, Zhongyu Yiran’s face grew even paler, which seemed to confirm Ye Leng’an’s words.
The shock on Zhongyu Liuyings face was impossible to conceal. When she looked at Zhongyu Yiran, her expression was not pleased.
She had never known the true condition of Zhongyu Yiran’s body. Every time she had asked, Zhongyu Yiran would only say she was fine. She did not expect her body to have deteriorated to this state.
Although Zhongyu Liuying had many questions, she did not ask them now. She knew the most important thing at present was to deal with Ye Lengan.
“Miss Ye, I am well aware of my own body’s condition. There is no need for your concern,” said Zhongyu Yiran, though her face still held a smile, her eyes were murderous. “Are you determined to remain with Brother Huangfu? Even if it means becoming enemies with the Huangfu family, you are willing?”
“Miss Zhongyu, can you represent the Huangfu family?” Ye Lengan had a mocking smile. “Or do you believe that with Huangfu Ruiling present, the Huangfu family would do anything to me?”
These simple words left Zhongyu Yiran unsure how to respond. She took a deep breath, picked up her glass, and after a sip of juice, wanted to speak again. However, she then heard a melodious ringtone.
At that moment, Zhongyu Liuyings phone rang. She had not planned on answering, but upon seeing the name on the screen, she immediately picked up.
After hearing what the person on the other end said, her originally worried expression instantly relaxed. Raising her head to look at Ye Lengan, her face held a mocking, smug look.
After hanging up the phone, Zhongyu Liuying looked at Zhongyu Yiran and said, “Alright, let’s go back!”
“What?” Zhongyu Yiran was very surprised. “But Auntie, today we…”
They had not yet achieved their goal for the day. Ye Leng’an had not agreed to break up with Huangfu Ruiling. How could they leave?
“There is no need to say more,” said Zhongyu Liuying, looking upon Ye Lengan with pity in her eyes, yet her words held pride. “Miss Ye, you place great trust in the love between you. In that case, as parents, we will naturally choose to concede. I hope you two may find happiness when the time comes.”
Hearing this, Zhongyu Yiran could no longer remain calm. She wanted to speak, but after seeing Zhongyu Liuyings expression, she swallowed her words.
Having said that, Zhongyu Liuying stood up and left first.
Zhongyu Yiran followed closely behind.
Ye Lengan remained where she was, yet her face held no confusion or other excess emotions. The corners of her lips curled into an interested smile.
Her hearing was very good, so she naturally heard what the person on
Zhongyu Liuyings phone had said. Even so, she did not doubt Huangfu Ruiling. She was curious what Huangfu Ruiling could have said to give the other person such an illusion!
On the other side, as soon as they returned to the car, Zhongyu Yiran immediately spoke. “Auntie, why did we let Ye Lengan off so easily today?
How can you swallow her arrogant behavior?”
After giving Zhongyu Yiran a deep look, Zhongyu Liuying suddenly said, “Yiran, you’ve been by my side for so many years now. You should know very well that I don’t like others using me, correct?”
Hearing Zhongyu Liuyings words, Zhongyu Yiran’s body stiffened for a moment as the smile on her face became slightly forced. “Auntie, what do you mean? I don’t understand.’
“It’s best you don’t understand. I like those who know their place,” said Zhongyu Liuying coolly as she leaned back in her chair. “Yiran, you’re a smart girl. You naturally know what you can and cannot do.”
“Auntie, I’m just curious,” said Zhongyu Yiran, quickly changing the subject. “Why did you suddenly decide to leave? That stubborn Ye Lengan didn’t agree to our request at all.”
“Why remain there any longer?” A flash of mockery passed through Zhongyu Liuyings eyes. “Now, it is merely Ye Leng’an’s one- sided belief that the love between them is stronger than gold. Since Ruiling is willing to compromise, let’s forget it.”
“Brother Huangfu agreed to break up with Ye Lengan?” asked Zhongyu Yiran, a glimmer of joy in her eyes, though she did not quite believe this possibility.
“Is this true?”
“No,” said Zhongyu Liuying, shaking her head as she continued, “However, as long as he is willing to marry Ye Wanwan, that will be enough. If he likes Ye Lengan, then he can keep her by his side. We will not interfere.”
“Brother Huangfu agreed?”
This time, Zhongyu Yiran was even more incredulous. “Before, he always refused, didn’t he?”
Upon learning Huangfu Ruiling had agreed to marry Ye Wanwan, her heart swelled with jealousy and resentment. At the same time, however, she also felt a strange sense of pleasure.
Because in Huangfu Ruilings heart, Ye Lengan was just average. Even if he treated Ye Lengan a bit specially, in the end, he would still marry the daughter of a prestigious family.
Ye Lengan acted so arrogantly and confidently. But in the end, she was just like Zhongyu Yiran, a lover without status.
“No matter why he agreed, it’s fine as long as he did,” said Zhongyu Liuying, a sardonic smile curling her lips. “It seems we’ve valued Ye Lengan too highly all this time. In Ruilings heart, she is nothing..”
