Chapter 908: A Coincidence

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“What kind of solution is this!” Li Yiran exclaimed, her frustration evident. “You’re essentially asking me to leave here so that Zhong Yating can take my place.”

“You’re overestimating yourself,” Ye Leng’an retorted casually. “Do you truly believe that you’re a threat to Zhong Yating? Li Yiran, stop kidding around. Regardless, Zhong Yating’s position is currently quite stable.”

Li Yiran’s expression shifted between shades of green and white as she struggled to find words to refute Ye Leng’an’s argument. However, she could only look at Ye Leng’an with a sense of grievance

Unwilling to indulge her, Ye Leng’an smirked and turned to leave.

Watching Ye Leng’an’s departure without hesitation, Li Yiran opened her mouth but found herself unable to speak. She slowly lowered her raised foot.

She knew that even if she approached Ye Leng’an now, she wouldn’t be able to persuade Ye Leng’an to help her. Yet, she couldn’t bear to simply leave the Huangfu family like this. Once she departed, she’d never have the chance to return.

She had lived a life of luxury for so long.

Before becoming Huangfu Ruixiang’s lover, she had delighted Zhongyu Liuying. Just the slightest favor from Zhongyu Liuying had been enough to secure her livelihood.

Even after falling out with Zhongyu Liuying, she had become Huangfu Ruixiang’s lover. Though Huangfu Ruixiang didn’t wield much power in the Huangfu family, he still treated her generously.

She couldn’t fathom how she would survive if she left the Huangfu family now. Raising a child while struggling to support both herself and the child through work seemed inconceivable.

At the thought of this, she couldn’t bring herself to take that step.

Was she really doomed to hand over her child to Zhong Yating obediently? Would she have to watch her child call Zhong Yating ‘mom’ in the future?

No, that was absolutely out of the question.

With a flash of determination in her eyes, Li Yiran turned around, intending to return to the hall. Huangfu Ruixiang still harbored deep guilt towards her, so she couldn’t afford to give up this opportunity so easily.

Furthermore, she needed to contact Li Yi as soon as possible upon her return. She had to investigate thoroughly to see if she could find any clues. She had always felt that Zhong Yating’s recent act of saving someone was very suspicious. However, without evidence, she needed Li Yi’s help.

Meanwhile, Ye Leng’an had returned to the car.

As she entered, she saw Huangfu Ruiling sitting there, waiting for her.

“Are you finished?” Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow. “Did you promise her anything?”

“Do you think I’m foolish?” Ye Leng’an rolled her eyes. “Do I appear to be someone who readily assists others? Even if I were inclined to help, I would only aid those I favor.”

Clearly, Li Yiran did not fall into that category.

Huangfu Ruiling listened quietly to Ye Leng’an’s complaints. He didn’t respond, but the affection in his eyes was palpable.

“I never expected Huangfu Ruixiang to convene us all here today for such a matter,” Ye Leng’an remarked. “However, I must say his methods are despicable. While I don’t particularly care for Li Yiran, I still find Huangfu Ruixiang’s actions excessive.”

“Oh!” Huangfu Ruiling chuckled. “In that case, why didn’t you help Li Yiran?”

“Why should I?” Ye Leng’an smiled. “While I disapprove of Huangfu Ruixiang’s behavior, Li Yiran herself has no intention of resisting. As an outsider, I see no reason to meddle! Besides, if Li Yiran truly wished to keep her child, she would find a way. It’s just that she’s unwilling to forfeit her current life of luxury.”

“So, it’s her own choice, unrelated to us,” Huangfu Ruiling replied coldly. “Since everyone has agreed, this matter is settled.”

Ye Leng’an nodded in agreement. Then, as if struck by a thought, she looked at Huangfu Ruiling and asked, “Ling, do you believe Zhong Yating’s act of saving Huangfu Jingzhang was genuine?”

She couldn’t shake off the feeling that everything was too coincidental. Just as Zhong Yating’s past deeds were exposed and they were on the verge of divorce, Zhong Yating saved Huangfu Jingzhang. Not only did she suffer a miscarriage, but she also lost the ability to become a mother.

It all seemed too planned.

However, if that were the case, Huangfu Jingzhang should have uncovered the truth!

In the mortal world, Zhong Yating didn’t have any influence whatsoever. No, perhaps it was better to say that even in the Hidden World, she lacked any influence. It was just that Huangfu Ruixiang was equally weak, which allowed the plan to succeed initially.

In the mortal world, the Huangfu family still held significant power. Although Huangfu Jingzhang was no longer the head of the Huangfu family, he was not someone Zhong Yating could manipulate.

“This incident is indeed true,” Huangfu Ruiling replied calmly. “I can only say that Zhong Yating’s luck was favorable. Just as she was about to divorce, this incident occurred. She simply took advantage of the situation.”

“In that case, I wonder whether she’s fortunate or unfortunate.” Ye Leng’an mused, shaking her head. “Because of this incident, her marriage with Huangfu Ruixiang was preserved. However, she lost her child and suffered significant physical harm, rendering her unable to conceive in the future.”

“That was her decision,” Huangfu Ruiling continued. “Initially, she likely only intended to have a miscarriage. She just didn’t anticipate the extent of the damage to her body.”

Ye Leng’an chuckled. “It goes to show that no matter how meticulously people plan, they can’t outsmart fate! Nevertheless, Zhong Yating seems to have gotten what she wanted. Both Huangfu Jingzhang and his wife, as well as Huangfu Ruixiang, are now filled with guilt towards her. As long as she refrains from any further excesses, her divorce from Huangfu Ruixiang is unlikely.”

Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “These two are firmly entangled now.”

“Indeed,” Ye Leng’an agreed. “However, I wonder if today’s suggestion originated from Huangfu Ruixiang or Zhong Yating.”
