Chapter 754: Celebration
With his response, Ye Leng’an smiled satisfactorily. “Good, then it’s settled.”
Seeing her smug expression, Huangfu Ruiling’s face was filled with indulgent smiles.
In a luxurious apartment somewhere in the capital, Li Yiran sat on the sofa in the living room, with a baby cot beside her containing a delicate infant.
However, at this moment, the baby was crying loudly, a heartbreaking sound that moved anyone who heard it to want to immediately comfort him.
But as the biological mother, Li Yiran felt only annoyance upon hearing the crying.
“Cry, cry, cry. All you do is whine. What’s the point of giving birth to you?” Li Yiran’s patience wore thin as she addressed the boy in the crib. There was no hint of affection in her eyes, only impatience and irritation. “Since you were born, your biological father hasn’t even bothered to see you. What good are you, anyway?”
Her voice almost turned into a shout at the end.
Once, she had given birth to this child to secure her position as Huangfu Ruixiang’s wife. But now, she realized it had brought her no advantages at all. Huangfu Ruixiang hadn’t even bothered to visit the child since his birth.
As for Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying, there was no need to mention them. They hadn’t even bothered to buy anything for the child, let alone visit. It was as if the child wasn’t their grandson at all.
Now, she regretted it deeply. If she had known she would end up like this, she would never have done it. She should have listened to Zhongyu Liuying and become Huangfu Ruiling’s mistress directly after Huangfu Ruiling got married. It would have been much better than now. And if she hadn’t, Zhongyu Liuying wouldn’t have betrayed her. She would still be Zhongyu Yiran, not Li Yiran.
Unfortunately, there was no cure for regret in this world.
Her only option now was to cling tightly to Huangfu Ruixiang.
But just now, she heard the news that Huangfu Ruixiang was about to get married. And the person he was marrying wasn’t some girl from a prestigious family, but a girl from a poor background.
If such a girl could marry Huangfu Ruixiang, why couldn’t she? Plus, she had a son, which gave her an advantage over that wench, didn’t it?
She knew Zhongyu Liuying had deliberately let her know about this. And she understood that Zhongyu Liuying wanted to provoke her into causing trouble.
But even knowing the reason, she would still do what Zhongyu Liuying wanted. Because she couldn’t bear to watch Huangfu Ruixiang marry another woman.
Thinking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Li Yiran’s eyes.
A few days later, Ye Leng’an received an admission letter from the Capital University.
After receiving the letter, Huangfu Ruiling took her out to celebrate.
The two sat in a high-end restaurant, smiling and chatting.
“I don’t think there’s much to celebrate, to be honest,” Ye Leng’an said, picking up the red wine on the table and taking a sip. She smiled and continued, “This was all expected.”
“Even if it was expected, it’s still worth celebrating,” Huangfu Ruiling said with a smile, looking at Ye Leng’an opposite him. “Anyway, congratulations on becoming a student at the Capital University.”
“Thank you,” Ye Leng’an replied, also smiling.
The atmosphere between them was pleasant, as long as no one presumptuous interfered.
“Master Huangfu.”
An exaggerated voice interrupted them, almost causing Ye Leng’an to spit out her wine.
When she saw who it was, a hint of interest flickered in her eyes. It was someone she knew, Nangong Riming, accompanied by Ye Xiyuan
Ye Xiyuan’s discomfort was palpable as she stood beside him.
In fact, she had seen Ye Leng’an earlier. But she didn’t want anything to do with her. Ever since their conflict at school, she had been on edge, afraid Nangong Riming would cancel their engagement.
Especially now that she heard Ye Leng’an was engaged to the head of the Huangfu family.
Recalling the words she had said to Ye Leng’an, Ye Xiyuan wished she could turn back time. She would definitely have avoided Ye Leng’an like the plague and never spoken to her.
Initially, she thought with Huangfu Ruiling’s status, Ye Leng’an would never marry him. But not long after, she heard the news of their engagement.
Of course, she wasn’t qualified to attend their engagement party. Not even Nangong Riming had the chance.
She didn’t want to see Ye Leng’an again. Every time she saw her, she was reminded of her current situation. It was like the difference between heaven and earth. Clearly, she was the legitimate daughter, and she should be favored by fate.
But the reality was that Ye Leng’an was above her. She could only look up to her. Such a stark contrast deepened her hatred.
However, she knew she couldn’t compete with Ye Leng’an now. So she just wanted to avoid her.
Hearing Nangong Riming’s exaggerated voice, Huangfu Ruiling frowned and looked up at him.
Ye Leng’an glanced at Nangong Riming and Ye Xiyuan, who were approaching them, with a faint smile
These two didn’t seem to have suffered any blows. But there was no rush. Nangong Riming’s good days would come to an end once Sun Wan’er got pregnant.
By then, Ye Xiyuan wouldn’t fare any better!
She was genuinely looking forward to Ye Xiyuan’s expression at that time!
Nangong Riming had already arrived in front of them at this point, wearing a flattering smile. “Master Huangfu, what a coincidence! I didn’t expect to meet you here. This must be your fiancée! It’s a shame I couldn’t attend your engagement party! You really make a perfect couple!”
