“why should you concern yourself with his actions?” huangfu ruiling sounded a touch bitter. “such a naive individual, he deserved to be taken advantage of.”

“don’t be arbitrarily jealous,” ye lengan impassively responded. “i’m serious. besides, if you hadn’t brought it up, i would have totally forgotten that i once saved nangong xuyao.”

“seems i shouldn’t have mentioned it at all!” exclaimed huangfu ruiling, facepalming. “whether you knew or not wouldn’t have impacted you.”

“that definitely won’t do,” ye lengan quickly retorted, “that’s a medical bill worth a billion! if i merely let it slide, it would pain me greatly!’

listening to ye leng’an’s words, huangfu ruiling couldn’t help but lightly laugh. “you’re absolutely right, that medical bill is of significant importance.”

“enough about all this, what’s the update on your family situation?” ye

lengan shifted subjects. “l can’t imagine your father simply agreeing to step dovvn as family head!”

if he were truly amenable, then zhongyu liuying wouldn’t have lowered their pride and sought her out.

“he can’t cause any substantial trouble,” huangfu ruiling confidently responded. “regardless of his current intentions, it really doesn’t matter. every decision is set in stone. everyone needs to be accountable for their actions and words. his age doesn’t allow for a possibility of any regrets.”

“he must be extremely dissatisfied!” ye lengan chuckled. “l imagine him leaping around trying to stop you!’

“indeed.” huangfu ruiling agreed with a nod, “he is currently persuading the elders of the huangfu family, hoping they might intervene. he’s also been in contact with the group’s shareholders aiming for a similar outcome.”

alas, no one was naive enough to accept huangfu jingzhangs proposition. whilst personal benefit was an enticing argument, one needed to evaluate the overall situation. the majority of the huangfu family’s influence fell under his control; no one dared to oppose him.

“in that case, i should watch this drama unfold!” ye lengan laughed.

“fortunately, this doesn’t coincide with the national mathematics olympiad.

otherwise, it would truly be disappointing.”

if there were indeed a clash with the olympiad, she would have to grudgingly participate. after all, she had made a promise to the principal in the first place. it was due to this very commitment that she was permitted to miss the previous training session.

promises were meant to be kept. otherwise, next time, the principal might not permit her to leave. if that were to happen, it would indeed be lamentable.

“if there’s a conflict of schedule, couldn’t the date be adjusted?” huangfu

ruiling proposed indifferently, “such a small issue can surely be resolved.”

“i’d rather not,” ye lengan playfully retorted, sticking out her tongue. “if we were to adjust, i’m afraid of being criticized! even so, i’m sure your father would be quite grateful if i were to push it back, don’t you think?”

huangfu ruiling arched an eyebrow, unable to counter the point. he nonchalantly glanced at the invitation laid on the table, enquiring, “will you be attending mrs. nangongs banquet?”

“absolutely,” ye lengan replied immediately. “l won’t miss such an event!”

shortly, it was time to return to school. although she often sought leave, ye lengan made a few special exceptions. at the very least, the principal needed to occasionally witness her presence at school.

both ye xiyuan and qian gumeng arrived at school the same day. unusually, they did not appear as inseparable as before, their connection seemed distant.

however, those previously present at ye xiyuan’s birthday party were aware of the reasons. therefore, everyone accepted the change without surprise. soon, rumors circulated throughout the school. when some students gazed upon qian gumeng, their eyes held a strange curiosity though they refrained from malicious gossip.

qian gumeng, head bowed, made her way through the school campus. anytime she chanced a glance at others, she became all too aware of their whispering and pointing fingers. unable to handle such a transformation, she felt daunted to even lift her gaze to confront others..
