Originally, if things had settled down like this, then there would have been nothing to worry about.
However, after everyone had taken their seats, Murong Yumeng spoke up once again. She looked at Xiao Xueqing with a hint of apology on her face. “Xueqing, I’m truly sorry. Zhijie didn’t mean to say those things earlier. He only spoke out of line to defend me, so please don’t take it to heart.”
With just those words, Xiao Xueqing’s recently improved mood was instantly overshadowed by a layer of gloom. She narrowed her eyes, glaring fiercely at Murong Yumeng, indicating another potential argument.
On the sidelines, Zhong Hanyun immediately restrained Xiao Xueqing and gently shook his head at her.
Xiao Xueqing, who had previously been full of anger, also came to her senses. She realized that continuing to quarrel with Murong Yumeng at this moment would only make her appear in the wrong, regardless of the actual circumstances.
As Xiao Xueqing chose to remain silent, the matter was considered closed.
Soon, the stall owner brought out their ordered dishes. For a while, everyone ate quietly.
The silent ambiance clashed with the bustling chatter around them, yet everyone’s expressions remained composed, preventing the silence from becoming awkward.
While enjoying her noodles, Murong Yumeng subtly cast a glance at Xiao Xueqing, her eyes reflecting an unknown gleam.
On the other hand, after finishing their noodles, Ye Leng’an led Huangfu Ruiling outside. She intended to continue enjoying herself outdoors!
Since Murong Yumeng and her group arrived late, they hadn’t eaten yet.
Upon seeing Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an leaving, Murong Yumeng glanced up. She then redirected her attention back to her noodles.
Meanwhile, Ye Leng’an and Huangfu Ruiling roamed through the gathering, clearly having a delightful time.
In contrast, the atmosphere of the Ye family in the capital was far from pleasant.
The situation at the Ye Group was deteriorating rapidly. Previously, due to Ye Xiyuan’s plagiarism scandal, the Ye Group had already suffered a severe blow. Later, taking advantage of the Li family’s misfortune, the Ye family attempted to gain benefits. They had never anticipated that the Li family not only survive but also regain its former glory. With their strength restored, the Li family wouldn’t easily forgive the Ye family.
Due to this series of setbacks, the Ye Group was almost on the verge of collapse. Initially, after Ye Xiyuan and Nangong Riming got engaged, it provided the Ye Group with a glimmer of hope. People, out of respect for Nangong Riming’s reputation, also offered some concessions to the Ye Group. However, who could have predicted that later, when Ye Li sought Nangong Riming’s assistance, he would be met with a refusal from Ye Xiyuan.
Because of these various reasons, the Ye Group was now on the brink of bankruptcy.
Inside the spacious Ye family’s villa, only Ye Li and Lin Wanqin were present. Ye Anyun was still at school, aware of the family’s situation but not fully informed.
As for Ye Xiyuan, she had moved out to live with Nangong Riming after their engagement and hadn’t returned home in a while.
Currently, only Ye Li and Lin Wanqin occupied the living room, both wearing solemn expressions as if discussing a serious matter.
“Is it wise for us to proceed like this?” Lin Wanqin looked at Ye Li, a hint of worry creasing her face. “We have no idea what that person intends to do with those items. Should we simply hand them over? What if something goes wrong?”
“What concern is it of ours?” Ye Li’s expression turned cold. “Have you forgotten? We’ve already swallowed our pride and sought Ye Leng’an’s help. And what did we get? Not only did she refuse to assist us, but she also humiliated us. Have you forgotten all of that?”
“I haven’t forgotten,” Lin Wanqin responded promptly. “But even though I detest her, I don’t wish her harm.”
“Are we the ones causing harm?” Ye Li snorted disdainfully. “What have we done? We’ve done nothing. Merely handing those things over to that person. Even if harm befalls someone, it won’t be our doing.”
“But…” Lin Wanqin hesitated. “Why would an ordinary person desire such items? Handing them over like this surely can’t lead to anything good. If something were to happen to Ye Leng’an, wouldn’t we be accomplices?”
“Are you still worried about others at a time like this?” Ye Li cast a cold glance at Lin Wanqin. “Do you think I should stand by and watch the Ye Group go bankrupt? This is our only chance. If we miss it, the Ye Group will have no future.”
Lin Wanqin pursed her lips tightly, eventually murmuring after a pause, “Then should we try reaching out to Xiyuan again? Maybe…”
“Do you really believe we can depend on that wicked daughter now?”
At the mention of Ye Xiyuan, Ye Li’s expression soured further. “With the Ye Group in its current state, she’s truly ‘indispensable’! Causing so much trouble, yet refusing to help in the end. If we had known, we wouldn’t have welcomed her back.”
The thought pained him deeply, especially now that he saw Ye Leng’an was engaged to the head of the Huangfu family. His regret intensified.
If they hadn’t welcomed Ye Xiyuan back initially, the Ye Group wouldn’t have faced its current predicament due to her meddling.
If Ye Xiyuan hadn’t returned, Ye Leng’an wouldn’t have left either. Now, they were about to form a marriage alliance with the Huangfu family, with Huangfu Ruiling becoming their family head. With just this relationship, the Ye Group could have soared to new heights.
Hearing her husband’s dissatisfaction with Ye Xiyuan, Lin Wanqin opened her mouth but refrained from speaking up in Ye Xiyuan’s defense. “Must we really hand over those items?”
“Yes, we must,” Ye Li replied without hesitation. “As long as I can save the Ye Group, I’ll do anything. Moreover, by handing over those items, we’ll receive a significant sum of money. With that capital, the Ye Group can be saved. There’s no room for hesitation now.”
Seeing Ye Li’s resolute demeanor, Lin Wanqin could only sigh and say nothing more.
After all, she had already made all the arguments she could to persuade him, but her husband refused to listen. There was nothing more she could do. Moreover, her actions weren’t morally objectionable.
As for what that person would do afterward, it was beyond her control.
