Chapter 1032: Rejection
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Zhong Yating confird Ye Leng’an’s assumption with her next words. “Sister-in-law, I ca 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 co looking for ? Surely you didn’t co here just to sit with .”
She couldn’t quite grasp Zhong Yating’s intentions. They hadn’t interacted much before, let alone had any aningful 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 ca here today because I have sothing to ask of you.”
With that out, Zhong Yating no longer felt embarrassed.
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 ho. 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 just to talk about this? But why tell ? 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 ti, 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 mbers 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 ddle in this. And…” Ye Leng’an cut her off without hesitation. Then, she shifted 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 mont 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 na, 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 ntion 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 .”
She felt a surge of panic, wondering if Ye Leng’an had found out sothing. After all, Ye Leng’an, like Huangfu Ruiling, was soone 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 ddling in your affairs.”
Hearing this, Zhong Yating felt a bit relieved. But then, she seed 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 ho all day, she couldn’t help but feel anxious, fearing if sothing 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 soone else. Instead of focusing on Huangfu Ruixiang’s future, why not work on solidifying your place in his heart? That way, even if other won co 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.
