Chapter 144: The Woman in Black
"Really, not?" Huangfu Ruiling approached, smiled slightly, and said, "Think about it!" ”
Looking at the handsome face that suddenly enlarged in front of her, a faint ripple was set off in the cold night, her cheeks were slightly red, and then she pushed away Huangfu Ruiling and said, "Just talk, why are you so close!" ”
Obviously, in the past, when facing Huangfu Ruiling, she was very calm. I don't know why, now that the two have become boyfriend and girlfriend, she sometimes feels a little restrained. Especially when I see Huangfu Ruiling's smile, I always seem to be involuntarily obsessed with it.
Huangfu Ruiling didn't insist, so he retreated, but still looked at Ye Leng'an, and continued the topic just now, "We're boyfriend and girlfriend now, but you keep calling me by their names like this, isn't it good?" Isn't there always a need for a nickname between couples? ”
Calling them by name sounds like they're calling a stranger's name.
After hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an was speechless for a while, "It's because of a name, you have to struggle for so long, is it necessary?" ”
As long as the relationship between the two people is good enough, she thinks that the name or something doesn't seem to be so important! I didn't expect that Huangfu Ruiling would care so much.
Huangfu Ruiling didn't say anything, just looked straight at Ye Leng'an.
Under the gaze of Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Leng'an couldn't help but surrender, "Okay, okay, you're right, there should be a nickname between us." Then I'll call you by your name from now on, Ruiling, is it okay? ”
Since Huangfu Ruiling insisted like this, then she couldn't say anything more. Anyway, it's just a name, and it doesn't matter if you want to change your name.
Although he was still a little dissatisfied with Ye Leng'an's title, Huangfu Ruiling did not continue to chase this question, "Okay, in the future, I will call you An'an." ”
Ye Leng'an has no objection to this.
Soon, the dishes came one after another, and the two began to eat lunch.
Huangfu Ruiling peeled the shrimp for Ye Leng'an, and said, "I went to the Public Security Bureau today, right?" ”
He is still very clear about Ye Leng'an's temperament, if it weren't for something to go out, he probably wouldn't have suddenly asked him out for lunch today.
"yes!" Ye Leng'an nodded, "I went to see Sister-in-law Zhuang, I used to be a master and servant, and it was good to go to meet and explain things clearly." As for the responsibility of Ye Anyun and the others, I don't plan to pursue it. ”
Although she changed a lot of furniture, it was not because of any damage, but because she didn't like the smell of strangers, so she replaced it. So, in fact, she did not cause any loss. Even if it is to be held accountable, it is just a simple apology. Moreover, those who do not know are not guilty, and they are indeed kept in the dark, so there is no need to pursue them.
"It's good if you're happy." Regarding this matter, Huangfu Ruiling didn't give too much advice, "Then I'll let the lawyer handle the next thing for you!" There's no need for you to come forward again. ”
"It's okay," Ye Lengan nodded, and said with a smile, "Originally, I was also going to find a lawyer to deal with it, but now that you have taken over, then I don't care." ”
"Hmm." Huangfu Ruiling put the peeled shrimp into Ye Leng'an's bowl and continued to speak, "By the way, don't forget the banquet tomorrow night." In the evening, I will go to pick you up, do the styling first, and then set off for the Nangong family. ”
"Is the banquet held in the Nangong family?" Ye Leng'an was a little surprised, "I thought that you people from big families don't like to invite so many people to your home!" ”
"It's not the ancestral home of the Nangong family, it's just a manor." Huangfu Ruiling opened his mouth to explain, "When the time comes, my parents and younger brother will also come over. You don't need to care about them, though, when they don't exist. ”
After hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an raised his eyebrows, "Then if I have an unpleasant relationship with them, can I directly slap them?" ”
"If they upset you, you can do it." As he spoke, Huangfu Ruiling had a doting smile on his face, "With me behind you, no matter how you make trouble." ”
For those so-called family members, he doesn't have too deep feelings. He doesn't know if he was born with a weak relationship or what, anyway, he can't get close to them from childhood to adulthood. Even if it hadn't happened at the beginning, the relationship between him and them would not have been much better.
But Ye Leng'an is different, it is the first time in his life that he has a heartbeat, and it is also his future partner. From the moment they were together, he never thought about separating. Even, even if he wanted to give his life to Ye Leng'an, he was willing.
Therefore, between the two, which is more important, you can see it clearly at a glance.
"Then it seems that when the time comes, our first meeting should not be too pleasant." Although he said this, Ye Leng'an's face did not show any frustration, but with a hint of a smile, "It's really a pity." ”
Since Huangfu Ruiling has already said this, if he wants to come to his family, he should not be very satisfied with her existence. She didn't care, though. Because, she knew that Huangfu Ruiling didn't value them, and since that was the case, there was no need for her to be so serious.
Moreover, she has never been a person who is willing to wronged herself. If Huangfu Ruiling will let her be wronged for the sake of her family, it means that Huangfu Ruiling is not the right person. Three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged men are everywhere on the streets. If Huangfu Ruiling would let her be wronged, then she would change this boyfriend.
Of course, these things, she just thinks about them in her heart. If she really said it, she was afraid that Huangfu Ruiling would be angry.
After dinner, Huangfu Ruiling naturally went back to the group to continue working.
As for Ye Leng'an, he is planning to go home. After she got the Seven Star Flower, she hadn't studied it properly, and now that she had time, she planned to go back and study it well.
After Huangfu Ruiling returned to the office, before he began to listen to the report of his subordinates, he saw Li San walking in with a serious expression.
He waved his hand and asked the two managers to go out first, then looked at Li San and said, "What's the matter?" ”
Li San has been following him for a long time, so he naturally knows his temperament very well, so he will not disturb him when he is working. Unless, there's something really important.
Li San took a step forward, put the information in his hand on Huangfu Ruiling's desktop, and said, "Master, before, you once ordered to investigate whether there was an intersection between Nangong Xuyao and Miss Ye, and now the results have come out. ”
Seeing that Li San's face was a little solemn, Huangfu Ruiling leaned back on the back of the wheelchair and asked directly, "Did you find out something?" ”
Before, he also felt that Ye Leng'an and Nangong Xuyao should not have any intersection. Now it seems that things are a bit unexpected for him. And he didn't like the unexpected.
"Yes," Li San nodded and reported, "It turns out that before, Nangong Xuyao was seriously injured because he was betrayed, and was later rescued by Miss Ye who was passing by. ”
"An An saved Nangong Xuyao?" Huangfu Ruiling couldn't help frowning, "An An has forgotten, has Nangong Xuyao also forgotten about this matter?" ”
Nangong Xuyao's attitude towards An An is not at all like treating a life-saving benefactor! Even if Nangong Xuyao likes Ye Xiyuan, he shouldn't treat his benefactor like this for Ye Xiyuan. Of course, if Nangong Xuyao was originally wolf-hearted, then it would be another matter.
"I don't know what happened in the middle, which made Nangong Xuyao think that the person who saved him was Ye Xiyuan." Li San continued to speak, "It is also because of the grace of saving his life that Nangong Xuyao is so good to Ye Xiyuan." ”
"Sure enough, he was blind." Huangfu Ruiling sneered and said, "But that's fine, at least he doesn't have any more chances now." ”
He was jealous of Ye Leng'an's fact that he had saved Nangong Xuyao. Because he doesn't want others to have any too close relationships with Ye Leng'an, especially an old stalk like life-saving grace. However, he still felt unhappy about Nangong Xuyao's mistake as a life-saving benefactor. Because the credit of Ye Leng'an was fraudulently claimed.
"Master, do you want to inform Nangong Xuyao about this matter?" Li San asked.
"Not at the moment." Huangfu Ruiling said lightly, "I will tell An An about this matter first." Wait until she thinks about what to do before making a decision. ”
Although he was unhappy with the intersection between Ye Leng'an and Nangong Xuyao, he would not hide it. Ye Leng'an is one of the parties involved and should know about this matter. Moreover, it belongs to Ye Leng'an, and he will not let others encroach on it.
At noon the next day, Ye Leng'an came to the café where he had made an appointment with Pang Tingting on time. She didn't arrive early, but stepped on time.
I haven't seen her for a while, and when she saw Pang Tingting again, she was really startled, because the person in front of her looked almost like two people before.
Although Pang Tingting was not a big beauty in the past, she was also a small jasper, plus she was an executive in a foreign company, and she could dress up, and the whole person looked like an elite woman. At least, walking on the road, she is the kind of woman who can attract the attention of others.
However, the current Pang Tingting has completely changed her appearance, and all the former high-spirited spirit has disappeared, replaced by a dejected and embarrassed atmosphere. Moreover, she looked like she was ten years older. It can be seen that during this time, she was not doing well.
As soon as she saw Ye Leng'an's arrival, Pang Tingting immediately stood up. She had been waiting here this morning. Anyway, she was cranky at home, so it was better to come over and wait earlier.
While waiting, she was in a very nervous state. The waiting time was long, and although she had already made an appointment, she was still worried that Ye Leng'an would not go to the appointment. If Ye Leng'an doesn't go to the appointment today, then what should she do next? Almost every day of her life is torment. She also thought about leaving the imperial capital, but she couldn't give up everything here.
Moreover, if she leaves now, she doesn't know what she will live on. So, while she was suffering, she persevered.
The only person who can help her now is Ye Leng'an. She couldn't help but be a little glad that she had gone back and got Ye Leng'an's contact information. Otherwise, she wouldn't know what to do.
Finally saw Ye Leng'an's arrival, she got up, but she didn't know what to say, when she saw Ye Leng'an's somewhat surprised eyes, she couldn't help but touch her face, and said with a wry smile, "My appearance has changed a lot from before!" ”
In fact, she also knows very well how haggard she is at the moment. For a while, she didn't have the heart to care for herself at all.
Ye Leng'an didn't answer, she sat down opposite Pang Tingting, and then without any foreshadowing, she went straight to the point, "You said yesterday that you have something about my life experience, right?" ”
"That's right." Pang Tingting settled down, looked at Ye Leng'an, and said, "Before, I didn't care about that thing at all, because I always thought that you were born to the Ye family couple. However, at the banquet, when you said that you were not the biological daughter of the Ye family's parents, I remembered that thing. ”
When she said this, Pang Tingting raised her head, looked at Ye Leng'an, took a deep breath, and then continued, "I can give you that thing, but you have to help me." ”
"Oh, are you negotiating terms with me?" Ye Leng'an was not in a hurry, she leaned back, and the whole person looked extremely lazy, "How do I know, are you lying to me?" Also, if you find a random thing and deceive me into saying that it has something to do with my background, I don't know! ”
"I didn't lie to you." After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Pang Tingting was a little anxious, "Only you can help me now, so I won't lie to you." ”
"Hehe, then take it out and take a look!" Ye Leng'an said unhurriedly, "If you want to negotiate terms with me, you should always show your chips!" You can't just touch your two mouths up and down, and you want me to help you! You must know that now that you have been banned by the Ye family, you will have to pay a price to help you. ”
After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, a trace of hesitation appeared on Pang Tingting's face. She didn't know if she should take it out, because it was now her only hole card. She was afraid that when the time came, she would take out the things, and if Ye Leng'an snatched them, then she would really want to cry without tears.
After all, until now, Ye Leng'an has not promised her anything. Even, Ye Leng'an never promised to help her. She was afraid that she would be empty when the time came.
Ye Leng'an also saw Pang Tingting's hesitation, she was not in a hurry at all, and said slowly, "Actually, you can also think about it slowly, I'm not in a hurry at all." Perhaps, you still need to go back and think about it. Let's talk about it when you've thought about it! ”
She doesn't like to talk nonsense, so if Pang Tingting wants her to make a move, she must first let her see her sincerity. Otherwise, there is nothing to talk about next.
"No, I'm willing to take it out." Seeing that Ye Leng'an seemed to want to leave, Pang Tingting was a little anxious, "I can take out the things and show them to you, but you must also promise me that when you confirm it, you must help me." ”
She is the one who is at a disadvantage now, and she has no choice. So, even if she had to take the risk, now she had to take things out first.
After finishing speaking, Pang Tingting took out a box from her bag and opened it, only to see a very special bracelet inside.
It was a platinum bracelet, but the most special time was that the bracelet was not inlaid with ordinary gemstones, but glass violets, crystal clear, and there seemed to be two English letters engraved on the small pendant at the end of the bracelet. It can be said that although this bracelet is not priceless, it is also expensive.
Ye Leng'an was a little surprised, and now Pang Tingting can almost be said to be exhausted, but she didn't sell this bracelet.
"Actually, it's not that I don't want to sell this bracelet, but I don't dare." Pang Tingting seemed to see Ye Leng'an's thoughts, she smiled bitterly, and said, "At the door of the nursery room of the hospital, I saw a woman wearing black clothes, sunglasses, hats, and even a mask, wrapping herself tightly. ”
"At that time, she looked through the glass and looked at you. But for some reason, when she saw me coming, she seemed to not want to see anyone, so she hurried away. When she left, she was in too much of a hurry, so she pulled the bracelet down. ”
"It's also because of this that when I had the idea of dropping the bag, the first thing I thought of was you. So, I swapped you and Ye Xiyuan. As for this chain, after I took it home, I was very scared, and I was afraid that the other party would come to the door, so I didn't dare to do anything at all, so I could only hide it. ”
"Do you remember what the characteristics of the woman in black were?" Ye Leng'an frowned and asked, "Or how old is she, can you remember clearly?" ”
"I don't know." Pang Tingting shook her head honestly, "That woman is wrapped so tightly that I can't see it at all." Moreover, she and I only met in a hurry, and there was no intersection at all. ”
This was all she could remember, and she didn't feel anything suspicious back then, so she didn't think too much about it subconsciously. If it weren't for the bracelet, she felt like she might have forgotten about it.
After hearing Pang Tingting's words, Ye Leng'an couldn't help but fall into deep thought. She subconsciously felt that the woman Pang Tingting met was probably the woman who had found the Yejia couple. But what exactly is that woman? What does it have to do with her?
Seeing Ye Leng'an, who was sitting opposite her, without saying a word, Pang Tingting's heart was full of anxiety.
Now she had told everything she knew, and she didn't hide anything. She didn't know if Ye Leng'an believed what she said. If Ye Leng'an is not detailed, then what should she do next!
After a long while, Ye Leng'an finally spoke again, "Pang Tingting, what do you want?" ”
Whether Pang Tingting is lying or not, she can still tell. If you want to find her background, the woman in black is obviously the most critical breakthrough. That bracelet was the only clue that could find the woman in black. Therefore, she really has to get this bracelet back today.
After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Pang Tingting felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart. Because she knew that Ye Leng'an had already believed her words, then she would have the capital to negotiate terms with Ye Leng'an. Behind Ye Leng'an is Huangfu Ruiling, as long as Ye Leng'an is willing to make a move, then the Ye family will no longer be able to trouble her in the future.
It's just that, after the ecstasy, she was in a trance again. Because, she wanted too much, and now Ye Leng'an suddenly asked like this, and for a while, she didn't know how to answer.
"I-" Pang Tingting opened her mouth, thought for a while, and then said, "I want a job, and you have to help me pay off the loan for the house I live in now." And, I-"
"Stop!" After hearing Pang Tingting's words, Ye Leng'an made a stop move, then looked at Pang Tingting with a smile, and then said, "It seems that you know who the woman in black is!" Then tell me first! ”
"What?" Suddenly hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Pang Tingting couldn't react for a while, "Didn't I say it just now?" I couldn't see it at all, so how could I possibly know who it was? ”
"Oh, so you don't know!" Ye Leng'an looked suddenly enlightened, and then, with a straight look, when he looked at Pang Tingting again, there was a strong irony in his eyes, "Since you don't know, then your current chip is just a bracelet." The principle of equivalent exchange, before you open your mouth to make a request, you still have to think carefully about what kind of bargaining chips you have to negotiate with me. ”
Pang Tingting is really greedy enough, but she just knows a little bit of things that can't even be said to be clues, and now she actually wants the lion to open her mouth and offer so many conditions. Could it be that she really looks like a wronged boss, will she agree to her so many requests?
Seeing the sarcasm in Ye Leng'an's eyes, Pang Tingting immediately sobered up, but she was still very unconvinced, "Ye Leng'an, you promised to help me before, is it possible that you want to regret it now?" These requests of mine are just a finger move for you, and they are not excessive at all. ”
