Chapter 182
"Then Ye Xiyuan will definitely be dumbfounded." Ye Leng'an covered her mouth and snickered, "She finally thought of the opportunity to become a blockbuster and cleared the obstacles in advance, but in the end she suddenly found that everything was wasted. Tell me, will she be **** to death!"
"Then are you interested in taking a look?" Huangfu Ruiling asked with a smile, "You can appear there as the judge for this time."
"Huh?" After hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an was stunned for a moment, "Me? Judge? But, I'm not very good at fashion design. Don't you think that I'm really not qualified to sit in the judge's seat?"
"You are more qualified than anyone else." Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng'an, and said affirmatively, "You are the proprietress of Huangye Group, who can be more qualified than you!"
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an didn't object or feel shy, and even nodded in a serious way, "I think what you said makes sense, so I'll reluctantly become one of the judges!"
Seeing Ye Leng'an's arrogant appearance, Huangfu Ruiling shook his head amusedly, his eyes were full of doting.
"Tell me, if Ye Xiyuan sees me, she will definitely be very pleasantly surprised!" Ye Leng'an covered her mouth and said with a low smile, "I really look forward to seeing Ye Xiyuan sooner."
"It will be soon." Huangfu Ruiling said with a low smile, "When the time comes, you will sit on the judging table and look at Ye Xiyuan, she will definitely not be able to calm down!"
After Ye Leng'an nodded in agreement, he suddenly urged, "Okay, don't talk about it, you'd better hurry up and work! After you're done, let's go have lunch."
After dozens of minutes, Huangfu Ruiling finished processing all the documents, so the two got out of the parking lot and planned to have lunch.
Unexpectedly, at the parking lot, they actually met Huangfu Ruixiang and Li Yiran.
Ye Leng'an was really taken aback when he saw the two of them. Because, if I remember correctly, when she was downstairs just now, she saw that Li Yiran was holding a thermal insulation bag in her hand! That means that she is here to give a love lunch. However, even in terms of time, it is impossible to finish eating so early!
"Brother, Miss Ye." Huangfu Ruixiang greeted first, "You guys go to lunch too! That's really a coincidence, let's go together!"
"You haven't had lunch yet?" After hearing this, Ye Leng'an was a little surprised, "But, isn't that—"
Before he finished speaking, Li Yiran's expression on the opposite side became a little ugly.
"Oh, so you know Miss Ye too!" Huangfu Ruixiang was not surprised, "It seems that you have met. Just now Yiran did bring food, but she doesn't know how to cook at all, and the taste is really hard to describe. So, we still plan to go out to eat."
Following Huangfu Ruixiang's words, Li Yiran's complexion became more and more ugly. Especially when she saw Ye Leng'an standing beside Huangfu Ruiling, she only felt embarrassing for a while. It never occurred to her that Huangfu Ruixiang just took a sip of the loving lunch that she cooked so hard, and vomited it out, and even said mercilessly that she made it too unpalatable, and told her not to make it in the future.
She originally did all this to please Huangfu Ruixiang, but in the end she was demoted to nothing. She is starting to regret now, did she really shouldn't have chosen Huangfu Ruixiang as her target? She always felt that her status in Huangfu Ruixiang's heart was too low.
It's just that there is no turning back when you open the bow. Even if she is wrong now, she can only continue to be wrong.
Huangfu Ruiling obviously only wanted to have a world with Ye Leng'an, and he didn't want any light bulbs to hinder them. However, before he could refuse, Ye Leng'an first agreed.
"Okay!" Ye Leng'an said with a smile, "Since everyone hasn't eaten yet, it's better to meet each other by chance, let's have lunch together!"
No one thought that Ye Leng'an would agree. Even Huangfu Ruixiang couldn't react to Ye Leng'an's response.
However, he immediately came back to his senses, and said, "There is a Japanese grocery store in the shopping mall nearby. I don't know if you are used to eating it. Otherwise, let's go there!"
Although it was a little unexpected, it was a good thing for him. Now Huangfu Ruiling is already the rightful person in power of the Huangfu family. However, although he and Huangfu Ruiling are brothers, the relationship between them is not very good. It is even said that they are only a little bit better than strangers.
He often wants to find opportunities to build a good relationship with Huangfu Ruiling, especially now that his father doesn't even have the seat of Patriarch. However, Huangfu Ruiling was really lukewarm towards him.
Now that he has the opportunity, he will naturally not let it go.
Li Yiran's face was so dark that it could almost drop ink, but she could only force a smile.
If it is said who the last person she wants to see is Ye Leng'an. Once, she and Ye Leng'an were rivals in love. She felt that at that time, the two of them were evenly matched. As for why she lost to Ye Leng'an and couldn't win Huangfu Ruiling's heart, it was just because she didn't have the means to do so.
However, now in front of Ye Leng'an, she feels that the gap between herself has become wider and wider. Ye Leng'an is the girlfriend of Huangfu Ruiling, the patriarch of the Huangfu family, who is publicly recognized. When they were outside, because of Huangfu Ruiling's face, everyone would give Ye Leng'an a three-pointer.
She was just Huangfu Ruixiang's underground lover, and she didn't even have a legitimate identity. Although Huangfu Ruixiang is not married yet, she still cannot call herself Huangfu Ruixiang's girlfriend.
Even when they were downstairs just now, everyone treated her and Ye Leng'an with completely different attitudes.
Such a difference made her feel ashamed in front of Ye Leng'an.
However, no matter how reluctant she is, Li Yiran has no way to disobey Huangfu Ruixiang's words. Because she was worried that as soon as she said that she didn't want to have lunch with Ye Leng'an and the others, Huangfu Ruixiang would directly let her go back.
Now the only thing she can rely on is Huangfu Ruixiang. Therefore, no matter what, she must hold on to Huangfu Ruixiang tightly.
In the car—
"Why did you agree to have dinner with them?" Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng'an who was sitting next to him, "Didn't you and them both have festivals? Eat together, can you eat?"
Before Huangfu Ruixiang asked Ye Leng'an to collect money and leave Huangfu Ruiling. As for Li Yiran, let alone. The conflict between her and Ye Leng'an is even more unclear in a few words.
"Of course I can eat it!" Ye Leng'an said with a smile, "If I can't say it, my appetite will get better! I find that Li Yiran is really too free, so she keeps targeting me. So, I think, find something for her to do."
"Are you going to tell her about Huangfu Ruixiang's blind date?" Huangfu Ruiling guessed it right away.
"Yeah! You're really smart, come on, I'll reward you with a kiss."
After finishing speaking, Ye Leng'an pressed a sweet kiss on Huangfu Ruiling's face before continuing, "If she found out about Huangfu Ruixiang's plan to start a blind date, she would definitely be anxious. After all, she has no status now. If Huangfu Ruixiang is not married, then she still has a chance to be in charge. But if Huangfu Ruixiang is married, her situation will be even more difficult."
"Besides, on your mother's side, you can also find something for her to do! With Li Yiran's involvement, her goal will not be achieved so easily!"
"Well, well said." Huangfu Ruiling nodded, then looked at Ye Leng'an, and said meaningfully, "I thought you were worried about the bet between us, afraid that you would lose, so you planned to tell Li Yiran!"
"Hehe, of course there is a reason for this!" Ye Leng'an didn't deny her little thoughtfulness, and she said confidently, "However, it's normal for me to do this, isn't it? Since it's a bet, we'll each rely on our own abilities! Besides, this shouldn't be considered a foul! It's just a reminder to Li Yiran. As for what she will do in the future, it has nothing to do with me."
Huangfu Ruiling didn't say anything more, but there was a glint of darkness in his eyes.
Soon, they came to the Japanese grocery store that Huangfu Ruixiang mentioned. After entering the box, Huangfu Ruixiang and Li Yiran were already waiting inside.
"Brother, Miss Ye, you are here, please sit down first!" Huangfu Ruixiang hurriedly greeted.
After they sat down, he handed them the menu, "Look at what you want to eat, we have already ordered some. But I don't know your appetite, so I didn't order too much, you continue to order!"
This Japanese restaurant is a high-end Japanese restaurant, so after ordering, someone came to serve the food soon, and the waiting time was not long.
Ye Leng'an picked up a piece of salmon, tasted it, nodded, and said, "The products in this store are really good!"
"Yes!" Huangfu Ruixiang said, "I have been here a few times before, and I think the ingredients here are very fresh. I usually come to this store when I invite customers to dinner."
"Really?" Huangfu Ruixiang nodded, "However, I don't have a girlfriend yet. This is all for the future."
He completely ignored the feelings of Li Yiran beside him. In other words, when he hadn't got Li Yiran before, he might have paid more attention. Probably a common problem of men! Once you get it, it is no longer precious. In his opinion, Li Yiran is already in his pocket now. Even if she didn't spend too much thought, Li Yiran would not leave.
Moreover, he and Li Yiran have already agreed that he can give Li Yiran everything, including companionship and a good life. However, he just couldn't give Li Yiran a title. Moreover, Li Yiran couldn't control his affairs outside. Therefore, speaking these words in front of Li Yiran, he has no psychological burden at all.
On the other hand, Li Yiran at the side, after hearing Huangfu Ruixiang's answer, the blood on her face immediately faded, and her small face was as white as paper. She never expected that Huangfu Ruixiang would talk about his girlfriend in such a grand manner in front of her. This is simply not paying attention to her at all. Is she really so worthless in Huangfu Ruixiang's heart?
She thought she had been hit hard enough, but Ye Leng'an's next words dealt her a more fatal blow.
"It shouldn't be too long after all!" Ye Leng'an smiled and continued, "I've heard that Auntie seems to have started to arrange blind dates for you. As long as you meet the right one, you will have a girlfriend soon!"
Hearing these words, Li Yiran suddenly raised her head, and when she looked at Huangfu Ruixiang, her eyes were full of shock and disbelief. She didn't expect that it wasn't long before she had a relationship with Huangfu Ruixiang, and now Huangfu Ruixiang was about to start a blind date. Where does this put her!
Huangfu Ruixiang didn't notice Li Yiran's face at all. While eating, he responded, "Even if you start a blind date, it's not so easy to meet a suitable one. When the time comes, it will still depend on fate."
At this moment, Li Yiran's face was full of despair. She originally had a little luck in her heart, hoping to get Huangfu Ruixiang's negation. Although her subconscious had already told her, what Ye Leng'an said was true. However, she still hoped that Huangfu Ruixiang could deny it, even if it was just to lie to her.
However, now Huangfu Ruixiang actually admitted it, and it was still in front of her, so he admitted it confidently.
"Are you going on a blind date?" Li Yiran felt that the voice didn't seem to be her own anymore, it was a little hoarse and low, and if she didn't listen carefully, she might not even be able to hear it.
"Yes!" Huangfu Ruixiang finally put his attention on Li Yiran. Seeing Li Yiran's pale face, he couldn't help but feel guilt flashing in his eyes, but he still said, "Yiran, you know that I—my mother arranged it, and I really can't shirk it. But you know it, and I love you too. But, your identity—"
"I'm fine," Li Yiran forced a smile on her pale face, and said, "Brother Ruixiang, I know, I can't be your wife. I'm fine, I'm just a little surprised to hear such news suddenly. I'll be fine after I digest it. You don't have to worry."
Looking at Li Yiran's pretending to be strong, Huangfu Ruixiang's guilt deepened, and he immediately promised, "Yiran, you can rest assured, I assure you. Even if you marry a wife, nothing will change. I will treat you better."
"Brother Ruixiang, I believe in you, you will definitely not let me down, right?" Li Yiran looked at Huangfu Ruixiang, the corners of her eyes were glistening, as if tears were about to fall at any moment, that pear blossom with tears, so tender and pitiful, as long as a man saw it, no one would not be moved.
However, although Li Yiran said so, Li Yiran's heart was icy cold at this moment. She felt that she really couldn't continue to sit still like this. Otherwise, when Huangfu Ruixiang really got married, it would be too late.
Looking at Li Yiran in such a state, Huangfu Ruixiang couldn't help it anymore, he nodded repeatedly, and assured him, "Yiran, don't worry! No matter what, I will never let you down."
Ye Leng'an, who was on the opposite side, couldn't help sighing secretly after seeing this scene. Li Yiran's method is indeed not low! But just a few words directly aroused the guilt in Huangfu Ruixiang's heart. It's just that I don't know whether Huangfu Ruixiang's promise at this moment is a momentary infatuation or a sincere one.
However, judging by Li Yiran's method, maybe she will be able to get Huangfu Ruixiang to marry her in the end!
Thinking of this, Ye Leng'an couldn't help looking at Huangfu Ruiling, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
Seeing Ye Leng'an's provocative eyes, Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows, and then said directly, "Ruixiang, since you have already started blind dates, the date of your wedding is not too far away. After the family competition, if you have a suitable one, then prepare to start arranging the wedding!"
Ye Leng'an couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard such words. She glared at Huangfu Ruiling fiercely, and that look undoubtedly revealed a message: dog man, you actually cheated!
She never expected that Huangfu Ruiling would dare to cheat so openly. After the family competition, isn't that just a few months left? Is this the rhythm of ending the bet early?
"Huh?" Hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words suddenly, Huangfu Ruixiang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said, "Will this be a little faster! Besides, you are not married yet, brother!"
"It's not fast, I believe mother really wants to see you get married as soon as possible." Huangfu Ruiling didn't even look at Huangfu Ruixiang, and continued to say, "Besides, you don't need to worry about me, you can get married first. I have to wait."
After finishing speaking, Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Ye Leng'an who was beside him, the meaning was already obvious.
Huangfu Ruixiang understood, but also felt a little surprised. He naturally understood what Huangfu Ruiling meant. Huangfu Ruiling's marriage partner is Ye Leng'an, Ye Leng'an is definitely not old enough now. Therefore, it is impossible for Huangfu Ruiling to get married in the short term.
He didn't expect that Huangfu Ruiling had already decided to marry Ye Leng'an. He originally thought that it was impossible for Huangfu Ruiling to marry Ye Leng'an. After all, Ye Leng'an is just an orphan girl whose parents are unknown, definitely not a suitable marriage partner, let alone a good mistress candidate for the Huangfu family.
However, he also knew in his heart that even if Huangfu Ruiling really wanted to marry Ye Leng'an, no one in the whole family would dare to object. Huangfu Ruiling is now the legitimate ruler of the Huangfu family, and he has gathered all the power. It can even be said that among the previous patriarchs, Huangfu Ruiling is definitely the one with the toughest tactics.
In the family, no one dared to disobey his orders. Therefore, only he can decide who is the mistress.
Although Li Yiran didn't show it on the surface, she was already mad with jealousy in her heart. She did not expect that Huangfu Ruiling had already thought of marrying Ye Leng'an.
What is the difference between her and Ye Leng'an? They are both orphans. But she grew up in the Huangfu family, and she received the best upbringing. Moreover, her elder brother also sacrificed for the Huangfu family. Could it be that she is not as good as Ye Leng'an?
But why, Ye Leng'an is qualified to be Huangfu Ruiling's wife, but she can only be Huangfu Ruixiang's underground lover!
Thinking of this, the anger in Li Yiran's heart began to burn. However, she couldn't show it, let alone let Huangfu Ruixiang see anything wrong. Otherwise, all her previous efforts would have been wasted.
For a lunch, everyone has their own thoughts. However, everyone ate very well, except Li Yiran.
When she was eating just now, she already had a little tasteless. After eating now, she just felt a little pain in her stomach.
Originally, Ye Leng'an planned to invite Huangfu Ruiling to dinner, but now that there are two more people, Huangfu Ruixiang and Li Yiran, it is naturally impossible for her to treat her. In the end, it was Huangfu Ruixiang who paid the bill.
He doesn't care, it's just a meal.
After Li Yiran apologized, she went to the bathroom.
Ye Leng'an rolled his eyes and followed him.
Looking at Ye Leng'an's back, Huangfu Ruiling's eyes were full of affection. He knew that when Ye Leng'an went out at this time, he must be looking for Li Yiran. However, he really couldn't figure out what Ye Leng'an was going to do.
Just now he opened his mouth to talk about Huangfu Ruixiang's marriage, Ye Leng'an will definitely not just admit defeat like this, she will definitely find a way to win back as soon as possible.
In the restroom—
Li Yiran went to the toilet, and when she came out, she saw Ye Leng'an waiting outside. She was stunned for a moment, then without even looking at Ye Leng'an, she directly bypassed Ye Leng'an and planned to go back to the box.
Ye Leng'an obviously came to see her, she felt that the other party came here at this time just to ridicule her. So, she really didn't want to hear it at all.
"Just leave like this?" Ye Leng'an was not in a hurry, she said flatly, "I know you are not reconciled, and you don't want Huangfu Ruixiang to marry someone else. Don't you want to marry Huangfu Ruixiang? I have a good solution here!"
Li Yiran's footsteps stopped immediately.
She kept telling herself that Ye Leng'an must be lying to her. It is impossible for her to do anything, and it is even more impossible for her to help her so kindly.
However, although reason told her so, she couldn't take any steps forward.
Because she was afraid, afraid that if what Ye Leng'an said was true, wouldn't she have missed a great opportunity for nothing!
