“Maybe you didn’t misjudge her. It’s just that the environment can easily change a person,” Huangfu Ruiling remarked indifferently. “A person from a small place, if not firm in their beliefs, can easily be dazzled by the splendor of the big city. The Zhou Cui’an you mentioned is evidently such a person.”
Ye Leng’an shrugged, her tone devoid of much anger or sadness, rather quite calm. “I had previously, out of goodwill, tried to advise her. However, it’s clear she didn’t take it to heart. Perhaps, she still believes I’m envious of her good fortune!”
“Don’t dwell on it,” Huangfu Ruiling continued. “Such individuals aren’t worth any of your thoughts.”
Ye Leng’an smiled wryly at Huangfu Ruiling’s remark before responding, “You know what kind of person I am. I don’t bother with inconsequential matters.”
It was obvious Zhou Cui’an wasn’t within her circle of concern. The reason for bringing it up today was merely due to Huangfu Ruiling’s inquiry and she found the situation rather bizarre.
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes. “Zhou Cui’an’s life has been too comfortable. Perhaps it’s time to give her something to do.”
“No need.” Ye Leng’an shook her head. “Since she’s inconsequential, there’s no need to waste any thoughts on her. Besides, she’s already been dazzled by the capital’s allure. Her future doesn’t seem promising. So, there’s no need to deal with such a person.”
She naturally understood Huangfu Ruiling’s intention to deal with Zhou Cui’an. However, she felt it unnecessary.
Hearing Ye Leng’an’s response, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t argue further. Instead, he nodded, then continued, “Since you say so, let’s forget about it this time. However, Zhou Cui’an better behave herself. If she targets you again next time, don’t stop me.”
Ye Leng’an chuckled. “In your eyes, am I some kind of saint? If there’s a next time, I won’t hesitate to act, and you won’t either.”
Huangfu Ruiling nodded before rising. He pulled Ye Leng’an up. “Well, it’s getting late. Let’s go eat!”
He hadn’t anticipated Ye Leng’an’s early return, so he hadn’t instructed the hotel to prepare lunch. However, it would only take a phone call for the hotel to prepare.
Ye Leng’an pulled Huangfu Ruiling out, and the two of them planned to eat out for lunch.
Soon, they arrived at a renowned Sichuan restaurant.
Despite its name, it was actually a private establishment specializing in Sichuan cuisine. The owner, however, aimed for a high-class clientele, resulting in an elegant and comfortable ambiance.
This restaurant was well-known in the capital and favored by many elite families. Reservations were hard to come by, usually needing to be made a month in advance.
However, for Huangfu Ruiling, this posed no issue. A simple phone call before leaving was all it took to secure a private room.
Though the owner aspired to high-class clientele, he was flexible enough to always have a few private rooms available for top-tier individuals from elite families.
Of course, not just anyone had this privilege, typically restricted to family heads, matriarchs, or young masters.
These elite families referred to the four major families in the capital.
Thus, a phone call from Huangfu Ruiling was sufficient to secure a private room.
Ye Leng’an enjoyed spicy food, hence their decision to dine at a Sichuan restaurant.
Guided by the waiter, they quickly arrived at their reserved private room.
However, there was a small incident on the way. Ye Leng’an spotted two unexpected figures, causing her to momentarily hesitate. However, she quickly regained her composure, as if nothing had happened.
Once inside the private room, Huangfu Ruiling dismissed the waiter
Both Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an preferred to dine without a crowd of attendants. They enjoyed each other’s company, chatting and laughing.
After the waiter left, Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow at Ye Leng’an curiously. “What did you see just now? You seemed surprised!”
“I wasn’t exactly surprised, just caught off guard,” Ye Leng’an replied with a smile, shaking her head. “I didn’t expect to encounter Li Yiran and Li Yi here. Especially Li Yiran. I thought she would quietly await the outcome at the ancestral house!”
Earlier, she had merely glanced inadvertently. However, the other party hadn’t noticed her.
If Li Yiran had indeed spotted her and Huangfu Ruiling, she should be feeling apprehensive now! After all, while Li Yiran and Li Yi’s relationship wasn’t significant, if it reached the ears of Huangfu Ruixiang, Huangfu Jingzhang, or Zhongyu Liuying, it would be another matter.
Especially at this critical juncture, where she had just exposed Zhong Yating’s matter. If news of her private meeting with Li Yi were to emerge now, she might follow in Zhong Yating’s footsteps.
Hearing Ye Leng’an’s response, Huangfu Ruiling didn’t express any surprise. Instead, he calmly replied, “Li Yi is Li Yiran’s only ally now. So, even if it’s risky, meeting Li Yi is quite normal.”
Ye Leng’an nodded, her expression solemn. Then, she smiled and said, “I just wonder if Li Yiran’s invitation today is a gesture of gratitude or if she has other intentions!”

As Huangfu Ruiling had mentioned, Li Yi was Li Yiran’s sole confidant.
Li Yiran had initially believed she could vanquish Zhong Yating and rise to the top. Unexpectedly, things took a turn, with Zhong Yating being discovered pregnant. Thus, the outcome remained uncertain!
