In the following days, Ye Lengan led a rather tranquil life.
Having successfully treated Old Master Shu t s ailment and received the treatment fee, she refrained from further hospital visits. As for what lay ahead, it was none of her concern. She was merely ensuring three months of worry-free time for Old Master Shu.
After healing Old Master Shu, Ye Lengan took a break from seeing patients and returned to being a student. However, to her surprise, encountering Ye Xiyuan at school revealed no discernible change in the latter.
Although no words were exchanged between Ye Lengan and Ye Xiyuan, the latter’s demeanor spoke volumes. There was no sign of fatigue, and she even exuded a certain radiance. It was evident that Ye Xiyuan was faring quite well in the Ye family.
The incidents at the fashion design competition couldn’t be concealed. Given the numerous participating companies and Ye Xiyuan’s act of plagiarizing
Airelly’s work, news of the plagiarism spread like wildfire the next day. The Ye Group’s reputation took a significant hit, with several partners terminating contracts. The extent of the company’s financial losses was apparent.
Observing Ye Xiyuan seemingly unaffected, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but exclaim, “This Ye Xiyuan is indeed a resilient force that can’t be easily defeated!”
Ye Li couldn’t be considered a good father; he was profit-driven. Even if there were familial ties, they wouldn’t be directed toward Ye Xiyuan, his daughter found halfway. It was clear that Ye Xiyuan’s apparent immunity was a result of decisions made by Ye Li, driven by self-interest. It remained unclear what Ye Xiyuan had done to dissuade Ye Li from any repercussions.
Despite the plagiarism scandal, news didn’t spread within the school since it was populated by students. This allowed Ye Xiyuan to remain unaffected on campus. Otherwise, the scrutiny from those around her might have made her untenable.
With relatively few obligations, Ye Lengan found herself spending more time with Huangfu Ruiling. Whenever she had free time, she visited Huangye Group, accompanying Huangfu Ruiling during work hours before engaging in her own activities. Later, when Huangfu Ruiling finished work, they went on dates together.
Huangfu Ruiling was content with this arrangement.
Ye Leng’an’s frequent visits to Huangye Group, combined with the public visibility of her and Huangfu Ruilings intimacy, led to widespread awareness that the CEO had found a beautiful girlfriend.
One day, while Huangfu Ruiling was at work, his phone rang. Glancing at the caller, he answered the call. After hearing the conversation on the other end, he calmly responded with a simple acknowledgment before ending the call.
Observing this from the sofa, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but raise her head. “It’s my mother,” Huangfu Ruiling explained. “She wants me to go back today because Huangfu Ruixiang is bringing his girlfriend. She suggested I meet them when I have time.’
“So soon!” Ye Leng’an remarked, astonished. “I heard about his blind date just two months ago! Did he find someone suitable this quickly?”
“I don’t know. We’ll find out when we go back,” Huangfu Ruiling replied nonchalantly. ‘You can come with me. After the meeting, we’ll go for dinner.”
“Aren’t you supposed to have dinner with them?” Ye Lengan found it amusing. “Are you planning to show your face and leave immediately? Your mother and the others will be furious!”
“Showing my face is already going above and beyond,” Huangfu Ruiling said indifferently. “Moreover, if I’m present, they might not enjoy their meal.”
Hearing this, Ye Lengan chuckled and then felt a bit puzzled. “Didn’t you mention that Huangfu Ruixiang wanted to wait until after the Hidden World’s
Family Competition to make a decision? How did it escalate to the point of meeting your parents?”
“Who knows!” Huangfu Ruiling shrugged. “I guess he has found true love! However, they haven’t discussed marriage yet, so there’s still room for reconsideration..
