Chapter 113 Invitation

In a high-end coffee shop—

Ye Lengan sat in a hidden corner, with a glass of juice in front of her.

"Do you really think the other party will come?" Huangfu Ruiling, who was sitting opposite Ye Leng'an, had a glass of juice of the same type in front of him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "It should be the appointed time now!"

"What's the hurry!" Ye Leng'an said indifferently, "If she comes today, then this matter can be kept private. On the contrary, if she doesn't come, then this matter will not be so easy to settle."

When she was in that villa just now, what she said about something was not just talking, but actually dating someone. However, she didn't expect that after Huangfu Ruiling sent her here, he didn't leave, but waited here with her.

Huangfu Ruiling couldn't deny it, "Since this is the case, why don't you just expose this matter?"

"We must give others a chance!" Ye Leng'an picked up the juice, took a sip, and continued, "However, if she doesn't cherish this opportunity, then it's no fault of me."

"Why do I feel that you are setting someone up?" Huangfu Ruiling shook his head amusedly, "Do you think there is a high chance of her coming?"

"I don't know." Ye Leng'an spread his hands, looking indifferent, "However, even if this is the case, it's not a waste of my time! I originally planned to come here for dinner today. It is said that there is a good Sichuan restaurant here."

A strange light flashed in Huangfu Ruiling's eyes, and then he said, "Then I don't know that I don't have the honor to invite you to dinner?"

"You—" After hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an only felt horrified, "Are you going to eat Sichuan food?"

It's no wonder that she reacted so strongly, no matter how you look at it, Huangfu Ruiling doesn't look like the kind of person who sits and eats in a Sichuan restaurant. A person with Huangfu Ruiling's temperament should be sitting in a high-end restaurant, and then a group of people will stand aside to serve him. That's the right way to open a meal.

"Is it weird?" Huangfu Ruiling didn't understand why Ye Leng'an had such a big reaction, "I'm just an ordinary person too! Don't you think I can't eat Sichuan food?"

"It's not that I can't, it's just that I don't think it fits well with you." Ye Leng'an rested her chin on one hand, looked at Huangfu Ruiling opposite, with a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes, "I always feel that your recent behavior is a bit weird."

It's just that she couldn't tell what was strange, but that's how she felt.

"What's weird about me?" Huangfu Ruiling's eyes flashed a gloomy light, "Also, I'm just a normal, ordinary person. Isn't it normal to eat Sichuan food?"

"Pfft—" Ye Leng'an couldn't help laughing, "Normal people are true, but ordinary people are not. If you are ordinary, then in this world, there will be no great people."

"I didn't expect you to think so highly of me!" Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Since you think so highly of me, would you like to have dinner with me?"

"You don't mind eating Sichuan food anymore. I don't care about anything." Ye Leng'an didn't care. "Anyway, I'm eating alone, and you two are eating too. There's nothing to say no to! Besides, there are people treating guests, so I'm naturally happy to eat for free."

"It's been more than half an hour since the time you agreed on. Do you think the other party will really come over today?" Huangfu Ruiling looked at his watch and reminded, "It seems that the other party is going to disappoint your good intentions."

"Yes!" Ye Leng'an leaned back in the chair, her tone was very flat, "It's rare for me to want to be a good person once, give the other party a chance, don't make things big, who would have thought that the other party would not appreciate it at all!"

"Then what are you going to do next?" Huangfu Ruiling asked curiously, "I think you seem to have a plan in mind."

"Of course I'm looking for an opportunity to tell the truth!" Ye Leng'an smiled brightly, "Besides, I'm not the only one involved this time, other people should also want to know the truth, right?"

According to the development in the first life, there will be an opportunity soon.

"It seems that you already have a plan, don't you?" Huangfu Ruiling teased.

"How did you inquire so clearly? Is it possible that you still want to go to a good show?" Ye Leng'an smiled and asked, "You shouldn't be a gossip!"

"Maybe, I just like to watch operas! And it's a good show you acted in." Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Huangfu Ruiling was not angry, "You performed a good show on stage in person, as a friend, I should also support it in person."

"Alas—" Ye Leng'an couldn't help but sighed, "The old ancestor is indeed right, one metric for another metric. It's just that I didn't expect this metric to come so quickly. When I was in the villa just now, I wanted to see your good show, but I didn't expect that now it's your turn to want to watch the show."

Hearing Ye Leng'an mentioned what happened in the villa just now, his eyes couldn't help but a glimmer of darkness flashed, "You don't want to go there in the future, since Zhong Yuyiran has woken up, then you can retire."

"I definitely won't go again!" Ye Leng'an curled her lips, "That Zhong Yuyiran obviously doesn't like me, I don't want to run into a wall again. I don't believe the accident that happened before I left today. You didn't see that Zhong Yuyiran did it on purpose."

Huangfu Ruiling didn't directly answer Ye Leng'an's question, but said, "This man has slept for too long, and his brain is probably fuzzy too! If his brain is not clear all the time, then he really should take a good rest."

The meaning is very simple, if you can't recuperate well, then stay in the villa and don't even think about coming out again.

"Speaking of which, I'm an innocent disaster!" Ye Leng'an sighed, "You said she likes you and she likes you! Why are you targeting me! There is no ambiguity between us!"

She is not a fool, so she can naturally see why Zhong Yuyiran did such a thing suddenly. It's just that she feels that she is really innocent!

"Oh, really?" Huangfu Ruiling said meaningfully, "Perhaps, this is not a random disaster!"

"What?" Ye Leng'an couldn't react for a while.

"It's nothing!" Huangfu Ruiling shook his head, then changed the subject, "I think it's getting late, the other party probably won't come today, let's go eat first! After dinner, I'll take you home."

"Okay!" Ye Leng'an stood up, stretched, and then stood up, "Let's go eat!"

Anyway, she has already given the opportunity. Since the other party doesn't know how to cherish it, she has nothing to say. She has been waiting here for so long, which is quite interesting.

Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan left together.

Not long after the two left, a figure hurriedly walked into the coffee shop. This person is none other than Pang Tingting. At this moment, her steps were a little hurried, with a hint of vigilance on her face.

Yesterday, she received a message that the other party asked her to meet at the coffee shop today, saying that she wanted to chat with her about a past event.

She doesn't know who exactly asked her out. She also asked the company's technical department to help her investigate, but she still couldn't find out who sent the text message. I don't know what the other party said about the past.

She has been away from the imperial capital for many years, and she just came back not long ago. Those former classmates and friends have almost cut off contact. However, the past events mentioned in the other party's message always gave her a bad feeling.

She struggled for a long time, wondering if she should go to the appointment. In the end, when the appointed time was approaching, she still decided to take a look to see who it was, playing tricks behind her back. It's just that she was just about to go to the appointment, and an important client from the company wanted to find her. She has no choice but to deal with customers first.

When the customer was finally settled, when he came to the coffee shop, he found that there was no one in the agreed seat. She raised her hand and looked at her watch. It was almost an hour past the agreed time, and it seemed that the other party had already left.

However, Pang Tingting didn't leave right away. She waved her hand and called the waiter. After giving a valuable tip, she asked what the person waiting there just now was like.

However, what she didn't expect was that after thinking hard, the waiter only remembered that there was a man and a woman sitting there just now. Other than that, I can't think of anything.

She didn't know if the waiter really couldn't remember, or if he was just fooling her. However, no matter what it was, she couldn't find out what it was.

Originally, she wanted to call the surveillance to see who it was. However, the manager of this coffee shop is very insistent. Unless the public security department intervenes, they will absolutely not provide surveillance video. Even if she is willing to pay, the store manager is still stubborn.

It is naturally impossible for her to report to the public security department for such a thing, and she has no basis for reporting the case. So, in the end, this matter can only be let go.

After leaving the coffee shop, Pang Tingting always felt a little uneasy. She always felt that the person who asked her out to meet today was definitely not just to talk about the past. Moreover, for some reason, after seeing that text message, she always couldn't help but think of what she did seventeen years ago.

Although, now the two children have returned to everyone. Moreover, besides her, there is absolutely no one else who knows what happened back then. However, she has a guilty conscience.

Backing back to the villa, Ye Leng'an got off the car, and said goodbye to Huangfu Ruiling directly, without any intention of inviting him in for a cup of tea.

Looking at Ye Leng'an's heartless appearance, Huangfu Ruiling did the same thing, smiled angrily, and waved goodbye.

Entering the villa, Ye Leng'an discovered that there was an unexpected guest in the villa. This unexpected guest was none other than Ye Xiyuan.

"Who let you in?" Looking at Ye Xiyuan who was sitting on the sofa with a relaxed look, Ye Leng'an narrowed her eyes, and her tone was icy cold.

Sister-in-law Zhuang who was standing by the side couldn't help but thump in her heart at this moment. Because she put people in. When the other party came to the door, he said that he was Miss Ye's good friend, and that he came here today just to send an invitation.

She didn't know if it was true or not, so she planned to call Miss Ye to confirm and then let people in. But Mengmeng kept saying that the other party dressed like this doesn't look like an ordinary lady, maybe she is Miss Ye's friend! Moreover, the other party came here alone, the two of them, could it be that they still can't see one person?

In the end, she still let people in. After the other party entered the door, he sat on the sofa and waited politely, without looking around. Seeing the other person's appearance, she was naturally relieved a lot.

However, now that she heard Miss Ye's words, she felt uncertain. Because, such words, such tone, no matter how you look at it, they don't look like friends.

"Why does classmate Ye have such an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away!" Ye Xiyuan stood up and smiled slightly, "I came here today just to send an invitation card. I didn't have to do anything. Why do you resist like this?"

To be honest, after entering this villa, she was really shocked.

Before, she had already learned from others that Ye Leng'an bought a villa to live in. Although surprised, but did not care too much. Because the villas are divided into different sizes, she doesn't think how much money Ye Leng'an can afford to buy a big villa after leaving the Ye family.

However, after coming here today, she realized that everything was beyond her expectations. The villa that Ye Leng'an lives in now is not inferior to the villa that Ye's family lives in, no matter in size or interior decoration. Ke Ye's villa was lived by his family, but Ye Leng'an lived in such a villa by himself.

She didn't know how Ye Leng'an had so much money to buy this villa. She didn't think that the money was obtained from the Ye family. Because she is in Ye's house now, it is very clear. Before they are underage, their parents will not give them too much money. Although there were jewels, Ye Leng'an didn't take them with him when he left. Therefore, Ye Leng'an's money was not obtained from the Ye family.

At this moment, Ye Xiyuan couldn't help thinking of the man in the wheelchair who was with Ye Leng'an before. If Ye Leng'an got the money from that man, then it all makes sense.

"If you have something to say, get out if you have nothing to do." Facing Ye Xiyuan's good attitude, Ye Leng'an was merciless, "This is my home, and I still have the right to issue an order to evict guests."

"That's natural." Ye Xiyuan was not in a hurry. She picked up the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and said, "Speaking of which, I didn't expect that Classmate Ye's ability is really not small! He actually has the ability to buy such a villa. I just don't know if Ye's parents know you have such ability!"

It's strange to say that Ye Leng'an has been back to Ye's house for a long time, but it seems that he hasn't heard any news from Guo Ye's house. Beside Ye Leng'an, there seemed to be no Ye family members. Even, in this villa, there seems to be only one master, Ye Leng'an. What has actually happened?

"If you want to tell them, that's up to you." Ye Leng'an said sarcastically, "Anyway, you know where they live. Speaking of which, you probably haven't visited them since you returned to Ye's house! After all, they have raised you for so many years, maybe they miss you very much! You can just take this opportunity to go back and see them."

Everyone around is saying that Ye Xiyuan is kind, but how could such a kind person never see the adoptive parents of the poor family after returning to the rich family's parents' house! Whether it is the first life or the present, after Ye Xiyuan returns to the Ye family, it seems that she will completely draw a line from the past.

After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Ye Xiyuan couldn't help but froze for a moment, and the expression on her face became unhappy, "I think, my biological parents probably don't want me to get too close to them! I also need to consider the feelings of my biological parents! Besides, I haven't found out what happened back then, and I don't want to see them now."

Before, I was reminded by my mother's friend, and my father has now followed that line of thought to investigate the events of the year. Although there is no result yet, she feels that the swapping of the two babies back then may have been done by Ye Leng'an's biological parents, as Aunt Tingting said, in order for Ye Leng'an to replace her and live a life of luxury.

Although Ye Leng'an didn't quite understand the meaning of Ye Xiyuan's words, she smiled meaningfully, "Do you really want to know what happened back then?"

"Ye Leng'an, do you know something?" Ye Xiyuan's pupils shrank, and she suddenly looked up at Ye Leng'an, "Tell me, is this matter done by the Ye family? They just want their own daughter to live the life of a daughter, so they switched us?"

Looking at that appearance, Ye Leng'an must know something. Otherwise, he would not have said such a thing.

"You think highly of me." Ye Leng'an leaned lazily on the back of the sofa, and continued to speak, "I'm an ordinary person, how can I know things that you Ye family can't find out? I just admire your big brain."

Ye Xiyuan didn't believe Ye Leng'an's words, she always felt that Ye Leng'an must know something. She stared closely at Ye Leng'an, trying to see some clues from Ye Leng'an's face, but unfortunately, she still didn't find anything.

"Why did you come here?" Ye Leng'an said directly and rudely, "You have been sitting for so long now, if it's okay, then get out! I don't think you want to see my face either!"

"Student Ye is really anxious!" Ye Xiyuan didn't continue to ask, because she knew that even if she continued to ask, she would not get any answers.

She opened the bag, took out a beautiful invitation card from it, and said with a smile, "My birthday is coming soon. At that time, my family will hold a dinner party for me. It should be Ye's son's birthday that day too! Why don't you come and play together?"

"Oh, I'm not interested." Ye Leng'an said without interest, "Besides, I don't think our relationship is so good."

In the past, Ye Xiyuan invited her to a birthday dinner in such a pretentious manner. At the birthday dinner, Ye Xiyuan, the protagonist, really stole the limelight. But she, the fake daughter, was framed and stolen, and her reputation was ruined in the end.

The Ye family also kicked her out after that dinner party.

"Classmate Ye, this time I invited not only you, but also other classmates," Ye Xiyuan said with a smile, "And, I think, Mom, Dad and Brother should also want you to attend."

Before coming here, she had expected that Ye Leng'an would definitely refuse. However, if Ye Leng'an doesn't go, how can her plan be carried out! Therefore, she must now try her best to persuade Ye Leng'an to participate.

"Oh, I really can't see it!" Ye Leng'an looked at Ye Xiyuan opposite with a half-smile, "I remember, every time we met before, it was unpleasant!"

Ye Leng'an's blunt words made Ye Xiyuan not know what to say for a while, but she quickly came to her senses and immediately said, "It's because of the unhappiness before that I want to take this opportunity to resolve the conflict between us!"

"Oh, I really didn't expect that you would care about me so much!" Ye Leng'an sneered and said, "It's a pity, how do you really look at it, how fake it is!"

"You—" Ye Leng'an's blunt sarcasm made Ye Xiyuan's face darken, and then she wanted to pick up the invitation on the table and leave.

She did want Ye Leng'an to attend the dinner party, but if the price was to keep her here listening to Ye Leng'an's sarcasm, then she couldn't do it.

Ye Leng'an took a quick step, picked up the invitation card on the table before Ye Xiyuan, and then said, "Don't worry, I will arrive on time when the time comes."

"Are you going?" Ye Leng'an's sudden change did not make Ye Xiyuan happy, but raised a wave of vigilance, "Didn't you still refuse just now?"

"I've changed my mind now." Ye Leng'an asked with a smile, "Or do you regret inviting me now? If so, you can take the invitation back."

Seeing Ye Leng'an's indifferent appearance, Ye Xiyuan gritted her teeth and said, "Then please ask Ye to attend on time. However, Ye, I hope you don't make any trouble, otherwise, the consequences are definitely not something you can afford."
