Chapter 887: What a Pity

Ye Leng’an stopped there, not elaborating further.

Those present at tonight’s banquet were no ordinary individuals. Members of these prominent families had the means to investigate matters thoroughly. Moreover, the fate of Lian Zixin was now evident to all. Even if the complete truth eluded them, the twists and turns were discernible.

Ye Wanwan was infuriatingly exasperating.

Although Ye Leng’an hadn’t divulged everything, her selective disclosure only served to itch at the curiosity of others. Ye Wanwan was certain that once she returned tonight, most, if not all, present would dispatch inquiries to uncover the truth. Her true identity was on the brink of exposure.

What was the point of concealing her background all this time, only to confess to all her crimes tonight?!

Ye Leng’an, she was truly ruthless!

Observing Ye Wanwan’s gaze brimming with animosity, Ye Leng’an suddenly chuckled. Retrieving the Image Stone from earlier, she regretfully remarked, “I just realized that I hadn’t infused this Image Stone with spiritual power. Hence, nothing that occurred in the restroom was recorded!”

With a pretentious sigh, she added, “Ah, what a pity indeed. Otherwise, I could have left you a keepsake!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Wanwan couldn’t restrain herself any longer, vomiting blood twice before collapsing.

“Wanwan, Wanwan!”

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu anxiously called out to her.

Subsequently, Murong Xingrui swiftly picked up Ye Wanwan and departed.

Despite his myriad of questions, he understood the urgency of the situation. Ye Wanwan was gravely injured and required immediate medical attention. As for the future, that could wait.

Furthermore, he needed to promptly return and inform his father about tonight’s events.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu naturally departed with them, deeply concerned for Ye Wanwan. However, before leaving, they cast a complex gaze at Ye Leng’an.

Ignoring their stares, Ye Leng’an remained at the banquet, unfazed by the unfolding events.

Although the Ye family had left, the indelible impact of the night’s occurrences lingered. Conversations about the incident echoed throughout the venue.

However, discussions were restricted to the confines of gossip, with none daring to seek confirmation from Ye Leng’an. Nor did anyone cast odd glances her way.

On a balcony within the venue, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an stood, admiring the scenery.

Many who sought conversation with Huangfu Ruiling hesitated after witnessing this scene, opting to withdraw cautiously.

Handing a glass of juice to Ye Leng’an, Huangfu Ruiling softly consoled, “Don’t dwell too much on tonight’s events.”

Hearing this, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but chuckle. “Do you really think I’d be saddened by Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s attitudes?”

“Their attitudes don’t signify anything,” Huangfu Ruiling replied, his words uncommonly stiff.

“I think you’re the one overthinking, not me.” Ye Leng’an smiled brilliantly, contrasting her earlier cold demeanor with genuine joy. “You know as well as I do that there’s no sentiment between us. Actually, I’m quite content today. With the last thread of connection between us severed, there’s no longer any association between us.”

Huangfu Ruiling understood immediately. Witnessing Ye Leng’an’s genuine joy, he remained silent. However…

“After tonight, your ties with the Ye family will likely be exposed soon. What’s your plan?”

“So what if it’s exposed?” Ye Leng’an shrugged nonchalantly. “After tonight, no one will believe I have any affiliation with the Ye family! Moreover, don’t forget, the Ye family previously declared to everyone that they have no relation to me.”

That was why she decided to reveal Ye Wanwan’s identity tonight. Otherwise, Ye Wanwan would be like an annoying cockroach that wouldn’t die.

Huangfu Ruiling reached out, embracing Ye Leng’an’s shoulder. He spoke slowly, “Alright, tonight’s over. Do you plan to remain in the Hidden World or return?”

“Let’s stay here for a few days.” Ye Leng’an decided after a moment of thought. “You can handle matters here, and I want to visit tomorrow to see if there are any special spiritual plants.”

Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “Then I…”

Before he could finish, Ye Leng’an interrupted, “No need. I can go alone. You should stay in the family and handle those matters properly. Otherwise, the Grand Elder will be in tears.”

Thinking of the Grand Elder’s occasional complaints, she found it amusing.

Seeing Ye Leng’an’s resolute demeanor, Huangfu Ruiling could only nod.

On the other hand, aside from the Ye family, the Zhongyu family also departed early.

With such an incident unfolding and Zhongyu Jiarui injured, Master Zhongyu naturally didn’t wish to linger at the banquet.

However, his decision to leave wasn’t solely due to Zhongyu Jiarui’s injury but also the unbearable embarrassment of facing the mockery of others.

Clearly, the perpetrator behind all this was oblivious to Master Zhongyu’s anger.

Upon returning to the Zhongyu family, Zhongyu Jiarui couldn’t contain herself and immediately began crying out in pain. She incessantly clamored for the doctor to come and attend to her injuries, fearing any potential aftermath on her wrist.

Her exaggerated behavior made it seem as if she had suffered grave injuries, demanding immediate attention from everyone.
