Chapter 832: An Uniinvited Guest

Watching the change in Zhongyu Liuying’s expression, Ye Leng’an’s eyes flickered with interest.

She was curious to see what Zhongyu Liuying was up to.

Usually, Huangfu Ruiling wouldn’t object as long as Ye Leng’an spoke. This time was no different, so they decided to stay for a meal.

Lunch was already prepared, and now that Huangfu Ruiling had decided to stay, they immediately headed to the dining room.

Huangfu Ruiling took the main seat, with Ye Leng’an on his right.

Huangfu Jingzhang had intended to sit on Huangfu Ruiling’s right, feeling he, as Huangfu Ruiling’s father, was most entitled. However, Ye Leng’an ended up taking the seat.

He was quite displeased with this. While Huangfu Ruiling was the head of the family and seated at the head, he couldn’t protest. But Ye Leng’an was just engaged – what right did she have to sit there?

Before he could say anything, Huangfu Ruiling’s cold gaze silenced him.

Soon, everyone took their seats.

Just as lunch was about to begin, a servant entered and approached Zhongyu Liuying. “Madam, there’s a Miss Zhongyu outside, claiming to be from your family, here for a visit.”

“Ah, she’s here!” Zhongyu Liuying’s joy was palpable. She immediately stood up. “Quickly, invite her in. No, I’ll go welcome her myself!”

With that, Zhongyu Liuying strode out, her eagerness evident. Observing her departure, Ye Leng’an’s lips curled into a knowing smile. She sensed Zhongyu Liuying’s actions were related to the sudden visitor.

Meanwhile, the others exchanged uncertain glances, then focused on Huangfu Ruiling, waiting for his response.

Ignoring Zhongyu Liuying, Huangfu Ruiling served Ye Leng’an and began eating.

Observing this, the others followed suit.

Feeling uneasy about the sudden interruption, Huangfu Jingzhang spoke up. “Shouldn’t we wait for the guest? It might be impolite!”

His words drew attention, and everyone found his statement unusual, especially coming from the typically composed Huangfu Jingzhang.

“An uninvited guest is hardly a guest,” Huangfu Ruiling retorted, not even sparing Huangfu Jingzhang a glance. “Let’s continue eating!”

His words struck like a slap, leaving Huangfu Jingzhang red-faced and speechless. Faced with Huangfu Ruiling, he had nothing to say, especially after their recent conflict.

Today, when Huangfu Ruiling mentioned removing him from the family genealogy, he wasn’t joking. So for now, he didn’t want to confront Huangfu Ruiling.

For the others, seeing this, they dared not speak up, and lunch resumed.

However, the table was unusually quiet.

Ye Leng’an glanced at Zhongyu Liuying’s departure and then at Huangfu Jingzhang. Though unsure of what was happening, she sensed Zhongyu Liuying and Huangfu Jingzhang were plotting something.

Thinking about it, she felt a tinge of excitement. She wondered who this unexpected guest was.

Just then, Zhongyu Liuying returned, accompanied by a girl in a white dress.

The girl appeared to be around twenty years old, dressed in a pure white dress. However, despite her attire, she didn’t exude innocence; rather, she emanated a sense of aloofness. With delicate features, she wore a faint smile on her face, yet it lacked warmth and instead conveyed a sense of detachment.

All eyes immediately focused on the girl. It wasn’t because she was particularly beautiful or possessed exceptional charisma. Rather, she gave off a familiar vibe, catching everyone’s attention.

Zhongyu Liuying noticed everyone had begun eating before her arrival and apologized to the girl. “I’m sorry, Lingshan. I didn’t know…”

“Auntie, don’t worry,” the girl, Zhongyu Lingshan, interjected with a cold smile. “It’s my fault for coming at such an inconvenient time and disturbing you.”

With her words, everyone realized why she felt familiar.

Because the girl, Zhongyu Lingshan, bore a striking resemblance to Ye Leng’an. Of course, it wasn’t about their physical resemblance but rather the ethereal and cold aura emanating from both of them.

As this dawned on them, all eyes turned to Ye Leng’an.

Clearly, everyone was curious about her reaction.

Some stole glances at Huangfu Ruiling.

Facing their discreet stares, Ye Leng’an remained composed, even smiling warmly at Zhongyu Liuying and Zhongyu Lingshan.

Unaware of Ye Leng’an’s reaction, Zhongyu Liuying invited Zhongyu Lingshan to join. “No! Your presence already brightens my day. Have a seat and dine with us!”
