Chapter 209 Invitation
Yewan was very resistant, "Mother, forget it! We had an unpleasant fight before, and I don't want to have anything to do with her."
"Wan Wan." After hearing Ye Wan's words, Lian Mengzhu frowned, shook his head, and said, "You are no longer a child, how can you act according to your own thoughts! You are the eldest lady of the Ye family and our only daughter, and you represent our Ye family."
"Since Huangfu Ling came to power, the Huangfu family has become stronger and stronger, even faintly catching up with other families. At this time, what we need to do is to make friends, not for ourselves, but for the family."
Lian Mengzhu's teaching made Yewan unable to say any rebuttals, and could only nod silently.
Although she didn't want to have any contact with Ye An'an, let alone her mother and Ye An'an, she had to admit that when facing the Huangfu family, she didn't have the right to be willful.
Lian Mengzhu led the night slowly to Ye Leng'an, and then smiled and said hello, "Miss Ye, hello."
Although Ye Leng'an knew Ye Wan, but she didn't know the lady who was following Ye Wan, so there was a hint of doubt on her face, "Hello, you are—"
"I haven't introduced myself yet!" Lian Mengzhu said with a smile, "My husband is the head of the Ye family. I heard that he met Miss Ye before, so I came here to say hello."
"So it's Mrs. Ye!" Ye Leng'an understood, nodded, "Nice to meet you."
I didn't expect that the kind-hearted lady in front of me turned out to be Yewan's mother! Although the two of them have similar faces, their temperaments are completely different!
Lian Mengzhu nodded with a smile, and then said, "Miss Ye came here today, did you see any jewelry? Earlier, Wanwan had some trouble with you, and I just wanted to apologize to you for Wanwan!"
Although I heard a lot of bad things about Ye An'an from Ye Wan's mouth before, but for some reason, when I see Ye An'an, I can't help but have a feeling of wanting to get closer. Maybe it's because the other party's surname is also Ye! She always felt as if she had seen it somewhere.
Perhaps, it is really like what she guessed. This Ye An'an is the flesh and blood of which one of their Ye family lived outside!
"No need." Ye Leng'an shook his head, and said with a smile, "You don't get paid for nothing, I like it, and I'll buy it myself. Besides, all the unhappiness between me and Ms. Yewan is also a trivial matter, and there is no need to make amends."
While they were talking, the clerk just now came over with the necklace that Ye Leng'an bought. She opened it again for Ye Leng'an to take a look, then closed the lid, put it in the bag, and handed it to Ye Leng'an.
Seeing this situation, Lian Mengzhu quickly took out his card and wanted to pay the bill. But Ye Leng'an stopped her, she didn't want to accept the things from Ye's family at all.
Under Ye Leng'an's strong intervention, in the end Lian Mengzhu still failed to pay Ye Leng'an's bill.
The hidden world is similar to the ordinary world, it is impossible for everyone to come out with so many spirit coins. Therefore, there are also banks in the hidden world. Under normal circumstances, most people pay with Lingbi cards for large payments.
Withdrawing her spirit coin card, Lian Mengzhu's smile didn't change at all, and she spoke again, "I just saw the necklace Miss Ye bought, I didn't expect Miss Ye to like jewelry made of this material!"
"Oh!" After hearing Lian Mengzhu's words, Ye Leng'an's eyes flashed a faint light, and then he said casually, "I didn't expect Mrs. Ye to like jewelry made of this material! So, are you also here to buy these jewelry?"
"Yes!" Lian Mengzhu nodded with a smile, "However, it's not me who likes jewelry made of this material, but my younger sister. Her birthday is coming soon. So, taking advantage of my free time today, I want to come over and choose to see if there is any suitable one."
Ye Leng'an nodded, smiled and said, "It seems that Mrs. Ye really loves her sister!"
"I only have a younger sister, Zixin, so I love her very much." Speaking of her younger sister, Lian Mengzhu couldn't help showing a trace of tenderness on her face, "We are siblings, and I am ten years older than her, so our relationship is very good."
"Is it Zixin?" Ye Leng'an's pupils shrank slightly, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, "Your sister's name is quite nice!"
Hearing Ye Leng'an's words, even Mengzhu was stunned for a moment, and she didn't know what Ye Leng'an meant, but the atmosphere is very good now. So, she took the opportunity to offer an invitation.
"Miss Ye, it's almost noon now. Since you don't want to accept the jewelry, then I don't know if it's a favor, let's have lunch together!"
After Yewan heard what his mother said, he couldn't help feeling a little anxious. If it wasn't for her mother's insistence, she wouldn't even want to breathe the air in the same place as Ye An'an. Seeing her mother having a happy conversation with Ye An'an, she couldn't help feeling a sense of panic in her heart.
If possible, she even wants to take her mother away now. Unexpectedly, now the mother would actually ask Ye An'an to have lunch with her.
Under normal circumstances, Ye Leng'an would definitely refuse such an invitation. However, now she also has her own small thoughts, so uncharacteristically, she directly agreed to Lian Mengzhu's invitation.
After hearing the other party's answer, Yewan was in a bad mood. Originally, she thought that they had such an unpleasant quarrel before, and it was definitely impossible for Ye An'an to agree to her mother's invitation. But now, Ye An'an actually agreed.
She didn't understand what kind of intentions Ye An'an had, and why she agreed to her mother's invitation. However, she really didn't want to have lunch with Ye An'an at all. However, it is impossible for her to leave now. She absolutely couldn't let her mother and Ye An'an be alone.
Soon, a group of five sat down in a private room of a restaurant. This is a restaurant specializing in medicinal food, and it is also owned by the Ye family. Lian Mengzhu has his own private room here. So even though it was meal time, they didn't have any hindrances, and they quickly came to the private room and ordered the dishes.
Ye Leng'an looked around the surrounding environment, smelled the faint but pleasant smell of medicine, moved his nose, and was very satisfied with this store.
After the waiter went out, Lian Mengzhu looked at Ye Leng'an, smiled gently, and said, "Miss Ye, I don't know what you like to eat, so I made the decision and brought you to this store. I heard that you are also an alchemist, so you should also like the medicinal food here. If there are such shortcomings, please give me some advice at that time."
Ye Lengan understood clearly, "This is the property of the Ye family!"
"Of course." Yewan looked proud, "Our Ye family has a lot of industries, most of which are related to medicinal materials. After all, our Ye family is a family of alchemy!"
What she didn't say is that their Ye family is a family of alchemy with a deep heritage, which is completely different from a wild alchemist like Ye An'an.
You must know that alchemy is different from cultivation. If there is no deep foundation and no family inheritance, it will definitely not go far. Therefore, even though she knew that Ye An'an was also an alchemist, she never took it to heart, and she didn't think that Ye Leng'an's alchemy skills could be much better.
After hearing Ye Wanwan's words, Ye Leng'an's expression didn't change at all, but he responded indifferently, "So that's how it is!"
Wan Yewan was very upset about Ye Leng'an's indifferent reaction, thinking that the other party was putting on a show.
Although this Ye An'an is Huangfu Ling's fiancée, she doesn't feel any sense of awe. Because before this, she had never heard of Ye An'an. It can be seen that the other party is not from a big family, nor does he have any strong skills.
If Ye Anan wasn't Huangfu Ling's fiancée, she wouldn't even be qualified to sit here and have lunch with them. In the end, if Ye An'an didn't have Huangfu Ling as her backing, she wouldn't know where she was still.
In the final analysis, she is just a woman who relies on a man.
However, although I was very upset, I couldn't say anything late at night. I can only watch helplessly as my mother and that Ye An'an talk more and more happily.
She didn't know what was so good about Ye An'an, why her mother looked at her with admiration. The relationship between Ye An'an and her was so bad, and her mother didn't know she was on her side.
On this side, Ye Leng'an was completely unaware of the twists and turns in Ye Wan's heart. She was talking with Lian Mengzhu at the moment, and under her guidance, the two had a pleasant conversation.
"What kind of person is Mrs. Ye's sister!" Ye Leng'an said nonchalantly, "She and I should have similar interests! We both like jewelry made of this material! Then she should have a lot of jewelry of this kind!"
"She really likes it very much, but—" Lian Mengzhu had a look of melancholy on her face, and then said, "It's just that she doesn't have too many collections. However, as long as it is jewelry made of this material, she regards it as a treasure."
Before getting married, Zixin really liked this type of jewelry. And even the family can afford Zixin's hobby. It's a pity that Zixin insisted on marrying into the declining Yan family. The parents were very angry with Zixin's choice, so they didn't give any support to Zixin after they got married.
It is also because she knows that Zixin likes it, so she will give Zixin such a piece of jewelry every year on her birthday or other festivals.
Sensing that Lian Mengzhu seemed to have something inconvenient to say, Ye Leng'an didn't get to the bottom of it, but continued to say, "By the way, Mrs. Ye, your sister is called Zixin, isn't she? I don't know who it is, which Xin?"
Although he felt strange about Ye Anan's question, Lian Mengzhu still smiled and replied, "The son who returns home, is thriving."
For some reason, she always felt that the Ye An'an in front of her seemed very interested in Zixin. Could it be that she knew Zixin? But the age difference between Ye An'an and Zixin is quite large, there shouldn't be much interaction between the two of them!
Maybe she really thought too much, this Miss Ye is only interested in people who also like this kind of jewelry.
Ye An nodded coldly with a smile, and said nothing more.
It is precisely because of this that Lian Mengzhu feels that he really thinks too much. Just now, Ye An'an was just looking for something to talk to her, not interested in Zixin.
The night on the side is late, and I can't get in a word. She was in a bad mood, and her face was naturally not much better. She really didn't know what to talk about between her mother and Ye An'an. Why can it take so long.
After feeling that the chat between the two was quite pleasant, Lian Mengzhu continued to ask with a smile, "By the way, Miss Ye, where are you from? I don't intend to test anything, but I think everyone's surname is Ye, so I'm just curious. Maybe, you really have some relationship with our Ye family!"
If Ye An'an is really a member of the Ye family, then it is indeed a good thing for their Ye family. Because this means that the Ye family and the Huangfu family are considered to be married, and they will be bound together in the future. Of course, there was another very important reason for this, and that was that the Shennong Ding was in Ye An'an's hands right now.
If Ye An'an is a member of the Ye family, then it is possible to borrow the Shennong Ding at that time.
Of course, she never thought of snatching the Shennong Ding from Ye An'an. After all, it was bought back with real money. Even if they are members of the same family, it is impossible for them to rob other people's things. Furthermore, there was Huangfu Ruiling behind Ye An'an, and they were not something they could treat casually.
"Madame Ye thinks too much." Ye Leng'an said with a smile, "I didn't live in the hidden world in the past, so it is impossible to have any relationship with the Ye family."
After hearing Ye Leng'an's answer, Lian Mengzhu was a little shocked, "You mean—"
"Madam Ye doesn't know something, I just came to the hidden world not long ago." Ye Leng'an responded with a smile, "I used to live in the mortal world."
"You are from the mortal world.
It was Yewan who spoke, her face was full of disbelief, and when she looked at Ye Leng'an, there was even a hint of contempt in her eyes, "I didn't expect that Miss Ye grew up in the mortal world. Then you and Patriarch Huangfu are really destined for each other! You can meet like this."
Although she talked about fate, her tone was contemptuous. She originally thought that Ye An'an was just from a small place in the hidden world, but she didn't expect that she was even worse than this, and came from the common world. In her opinion, the world where there is almost no spiritual energy is even worse than the countryside in the hidden world.
In her opinion, with Ye An'an's status, she must have played a lot of tricks to be able to become the fiancée of the head of the Huangfu family.
Ye Leng'an is not a fool, so she naturally understood the meaning hidden in Ye Ye's late talk, but she didn't care at all, instead she nodded seriously, "I also think that we are destined."
The cynicism and sarcasm at night, she will not take it to heart at all. As for the matter between her and Huangfu Ruiling, there is no need to explain it to an outsider.
"Wanwan, don't talk nonsense." Even Mengzhu is not stupid, not to mention that she knows Ye Wan very well, so naturally she knows the meaning of Ye Wan's words.
Yewan was very dissatisfied, but she didn't say anything, she just turned her head to the side, trying to keep out of sight.
Seeing Yewan's childish behavior, Lian Mengzhu couldn't help but sigh inwardly. It seems that this time the foot ban really has little effect on Wanwan.
The reason why she invited Ye An'an to lunch today was not to have a bad relationship with Ye An'an. At the auction before, their Ye family and Huangfu family had conflicts. This is not a good thing, especially for the Ye family.
That's why, when she saw Ye An'an today, she would take the initiative to say hello to her, in order to resolve the previous conflict. However, she kept a straight face the whole time and night, and now she is even more rude. Here and there are good friends! I'm afraid the conflict between them is not deep enough!
If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, she really wanted to reprimand her. However, seeing Wanwan's stubborn appearance, she felt a little unbearable. In the final analysis, the reason why Wanwan became what she is today is also because she and her husband have been too pampered all this time.
Wanwan is their only daughter, and they are naturally very doting on weekdays. Unexpectedly, because of this, Wanwan's character has such a defect. It seems that they really have to strictly discipline them in the future.
Stop thinking about Ye Wan’s affairs, Lian Mengzhu looked at Ye Leng’an, continued to smile and said, “Speaking of which, Miss Ye and we are also destined to be together! Everyone’s surname is Ye. Miss Ye came to the Hidden World not long ago, so it may not be very clear. In the Hidden World, except for the Ye family, there are very few people whose surname is Ye. Maybe, thousands of years ago, we were still a family!”
"Oh, is it?" Ye Leng'an's eyes flashed a trace of doubt, "Then I didn't expect it, because in the world of mortals, Ye is just a very common surname. I didn't expect that it would be so rare in the hidden world!"
"Yes!" Lian Mengzhu nodded, and then said with a smile, "Miss Ye doesn't look very old! How old is she this year?"
"Seventeen years old." Ye Leng'an said indifferently.
"So young!" After hearing Ye Leng'an's answer, Lian Mengzhu was a little surprised, "Then you and Wanwan are still the same age! This is really fate!"
She didn't expect at all that the girl in front of her, according to Fan Shijie, was not yet an adult. She thought that the other party just looked young, but she didn't expect that he was really so young.
Even Yewan beside him, after hearing Ye Leng'an's age, couldn't help but glance at him.
Because she discovered that this Ye An'an not only had a similar name to that **** Ye Leng'an, but also had the same age. So are they the same person?
At the beginning, after the talks with Huangfu Ruiling collapsed, she found someone to investigate that **** who stayed overnight in Leng'an. That Ye Leng'an was a fake daughter, and now she has been kicked out by her adoptive parents. It's probably because he climbed Huangfu Ruiling that he was able to live a good life all the time.
Probably because of the same age, the more she looked at Ye An'an in front of her, the more she felt that she resembled Ye Leng'an.
However, after thinking about it, I felt that this was impossible. Ye Leng'an is just an ordinary person, what qualifications does he have to enter the hidden world! Among other things, the level of the law enforcement team has been unable to pass.
You must know that the status of the law enforcement team in the Hidden World is equivalent to the government of the Mortal World. Only registered practitioners in the law enforcement team can enter the hidden world. Otherwise, trespassing into the hidden world is a dead end.
Moreover, this Ye An'an is Huangfu Ling's fiancée. Huangfu Ling was the head of the Huangfu family, not Huangfu Ruiling who was sitting in a wheelchair.
So, it should just be her thinking too much. Yes, it must be so.
Yewan kept persuading herself in her heart, but the seeds of doubt and suspicion in her heart had already been sown, and she was only waiting for the right time to take root and germinate.
"Really?" Hearing Lian Mengzhu's obviously close words, Ye Leng'an's expression was very calm, "That's really my honor."
"However, although Miss Ye is the same age as Wanwan, she is much better than Wanwan in terms of dealing with people." Lian Mengzhu shook her head with a smile, "It's also my fault that her father and I have been spoiling her for making her grow up a little bit."
"It may be a kind of happiness not to grow up!" Ye Leng'an raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Many people want to do this, but they don't have such conditions!"
"Hehe, maybe this can be considered a sweet burden!" Lian Mengzhu looked at Ye Wan, who was throwing a temper tantrum, with a loving mother's tenderness in her eyes, "She is our only daughter, so she has always been spoiled."
Although I feel a little dissatisfied with Yewan's temper, I still want to sharpen it. However, this is her and her husband's only daughter after all, so naturally she still loves this daughter very much in her heart.
After hearing what Lian Mengzhu said, Yewan couldn't help but smile sweetly, and then she cast a provocative and proud look at Yelen'an.
Facing such a situation, she obviously had nothing to do with her, but Ye Leng'an didn't know why, a tingling pain suddenly flashed in her heart, and she even had a vague feeling of inexplicable melancholy.
