Chapter 1032: Rejection

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhong Yating confirmed Ye Leng’an’s a.s.sumption with her next words. “Sister-in-law, I came to look for you today. Ruixiang didn’t know that I was coming. Can we have a chat?”

Ye Leng’an didn’t resist Zhong Yating’s request. Soon, they found themselves in a café outside the school.

As they sipped on their fruit juices, Ye Leng’an looked at the silent Zhong Yating and asked, “Why did you come looking for me? Surely you didn’t come here just to sit with me.”

She couldn’t quite grasp Zhong Yating’s intentions. They hadn’t interacted much before, let alone had any meaningful conversations. Her sudden visit, especially after Huangfu Ruiling announced cutting ties with Huangfu Jingzhang and the others, puzzled her.

“Sister-in-law, actually, I…” Zhong Yating took a deep breath and continued, “I came here today because I have something to ask of you.”

With that out, Zhong Yating no longer felt embarra.s.sed.

Avoiding eye contact, Zhong Yating continued, “Ruixiang isn’t young anymore. He’s a father now. It’s not good for him to just stay idle at home. I hope he can find a position in Huangye Group. Having a job would be considered a career.”

Hearing her request, Ye Leng’an blinked, a hint of confusion in her eyes. “So, you stopped me just to talk about this? But why tell me? I’ve never been involved in Huangye Group’s affairs.”

In truth, Ye Leng’an had no intention of getting involved. If she had any free time, she’d rather be in the alchemy room than bother with Huangye Group’s trivial matters.

“Sister-in-law, I’m here today for this little thing,” Zhong Yating persisted. “If you bring it up with Brother, he won’t say no.”

She believed it wasn’t an unreasonable request. After all, Huangfu Ruixiang was part of the Huangfu family, and many family members held important positions in Huangye Group. Working there was a reasonable choice for him.

However, Ye Leng’an sitting across from her shook her head, surprising her.

“I don’t want to meddle in this. And…” Ye Leng’an cut her off without hesitation. Then, she s.h.i.+fted the topic. “Zhong Yating, did you even bother to check with Huangfu Ruixiang about your plans? Have you considered that if he disagrees, you might end up looking bad for nothing?”

Initially, Zhong Yating was ready to argue back, but Ye Leng’an’s next words caught her off guard.

Indeed, she hadn’t considered that Huangfu Ruixiang might reject her, but…

“Sister-in-law, everything I did was for Ruixiang’s own good.” Zhong Yating defended herself after a moment of thought. “He’s married now. He can’t afford to be careless like before! With no chance to go back to the Hidden World, he needs to find a purpose.”

Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but chuckle at Zhong Yating’s explanation. “So, this is all just your idea. Zhong Yating, I thought you were clever. You managed to deal with Li Yiran, after all. But it seems I overestimated you.”

This woman hadn’t even learned to walk, yet she already wanted to run.

Despite once saving Huangfu Jingzhang’s life and having Huangfu Zihao registered under her name, Zhong Yating’s standing in the Huangfu family wasn’t that high. Just because she had successfully ousted Li Yiran, she now wanted to control Huangfu Ruixiang. That was quite ambitious.

“I didn’t do that.” Zhong Yating panicked at the mention of Li Yiran. She quickly refuted, “Sister-in-law, what are you implying? Li Yiran was kicked out because she disappointed Ruixiang. It had nothing to do with me.”

She felt a surge of panic, wondering if Ye Leng’an had found out something. After all, Ye Leng’an, like Huangfu Ruiling, was someone she couldn’t afford to anger.

“Whether it’s related or not, you know the truth. There’s no need to debate it here,” Ye Leng’an said casually. “And don’t worry, I’m not interested in meddling in your affairs.”

Hearing this, Zhong Yating felt a bit relieved. But then, she seemed to have an idea and asked, “Then, Sister-in-law, can you ask Brother to let Ruixiang work at Huangye Group?”

Now that Huangfu Ruixiang was just staying home all day, she couldn’t help but feel anxious, fearing if something happened one day they might be left with nothing.

With this concern in mind, she proposed her idea.

“Impossible,” Ye Leng’an rejected firmly. “Zhong Yating, I’ve already made it clear. I won’t bring this up to Ling.”

She then offered a piece of advice. “If I were you, I wouldn’t rush to find a job for Huangfu Ruixiang. Do you really think your position will remain secure after Li Yiran leaves? Huangfu Ruixiang has always been fickle. Even if Li Yiran is gone, there will be someone else. Instead of focusing on Huangfu Ruixiang’s future, why not work on solidifying your place in his heart? That way, even if other women come along in the future, you won’t be at such a disadvantage.”

Zhong Yating fell silent, her thoughts concealed. However, after Ye Leng’an’s words, she didn’t push further for her help. Instead, she continued to praise her and found an excuse to leave the cafe, her steps quickening slightly.
