On the other side, Ye Lengan was pletely unaware of the tumultuous thoughts in Ye Wanwan’s mind. At this moment, she was engaged in conversation with Lian Mengzhu, and under her guidance, the two of them were having a pleasant discussion.
“Mrs. Ye’s sister, what kind of person is she?” Ye Lengan casually asked, “Our interests should be quite similar! We both appreciate jewelry made from this material. I assume she must have quite a collection of such jewelry!”
“Indeed, she has a great liking for them, but…” Lian Mengzhu’s face showed a touch of melancholy, and then she continued, “However, she hasn’t collected too many. Nevertheless, any jewelry made from this material is treated as a treasure by her.”
Before marriage, Zixin indeed had a fondness for this type of jewelry. The Lian family could afford Zixin’s hobby. Unfortunately, Zixin insisted on marrying into the declining Yan family. Her parents were furious with Zixin’s decision, and as a result, they provided no financial support after her marriage.
However, despite their anger, Zixin’s parents still provided her with a substantial dowry. Unfortunately, the declining Yan family was like a bottomless pit; no matter how much wealth and resources were poured into it, there seemed to be no end in sight. Consequently, after her marriage, Zixin rarely had the opportunity to purchase this kind of jewelry again.
Due to her knowledge of Zixin’s preferences, Lian Mengzhu made sure to gift her a piece of such jewelry every year on her birthday or other occasions.
Ye Lengan sensed that Lian Mengzhu seemed to have something on her mind but didn’t press further. Instead, she continued, “By the way, Mrs. Ye, your sister’s name is Zixin, right? I wonder which ‘Zi’ or ‘Xin’ it is.”
Despite finding Ye An’an’s question peculiar, Lian Mengzhu smiled and responded, “Z-I-X-I-N.”
For some reason, she felt that Ye An’an was particularly interested in Zixin. Could it be that she knew Zixin? However, given the significant age difference between Ye An’an and Zixin, there shouldn’t be much interaction between them!
Perhaps she was overthinking; this Miss Ye was probably just interested in someone who shared a liking for this type of jewelry.
Ye Lengan smiled, nodded, and didn’t pursue the matter.
Consequently, Lian Mengzhu felt she had indeed overthought the situation. Ye An’an was merely engaging in conversation, seeking a topic. There was no particular interest in Zixin.
Ye Wanwan remained silent. Her mood was sour, and her expression reflected her discontent. She couldn’t fathom what her mother found to talk about with Ye An’an and why they conversed for so long.
After assuming the conversation between the two was enjoyable, Lian Mengzhu resumed with a smile, “Oh right, Miss Ye, where are you from? I’m not prying, just curious since we all share the Ye surname. Who knows, you might have some connection to our Ye family!”
If Ye An’an happened to be a member of the Ye family, it would be advantageous for the Ye family. It would signify a marital alliance between the Ye family and the Huangfu family, and with the Shennong Cauldron in Ye An’an’s possession, potential borrowing arrangements could be made.
Of course, she had never thought of seizing the Shennong Cauldron from Ye An’an. After all, it was acquired with real money. Even if they were from the same family, they couldn’t forcibly take someone else’s belongings. Besides, Ye An’an had Huangfu Ruiling behind her, making it someone they couldn’t treat casually.
“Mrs. Ye is overthinking.” Ye Lengan smiled and replied, “In the past, I didn’t reside in the Hidden World, so there’s no possibility of any connection to the Ye family.”
After hearing Ye Leng’an’s response, Lian Mengzhu was somewhat astonished. “Are you saying…”
“Mrs. Ye, you might not be aware, but I recently arrived in the Hidden World.”
Ye Lengan smiled and explained, “Before that, I lived in the mortal world.”
“You’re from the mortal world.’
It was Ye Wanwan who spoke, disbelief written all over her face. When she looked at Ye Lengan, a hint of contempt lingered in her eyes. “l didn’t expect Miss Ye to grow up in the mortal world. Then your encounter with the head of the Huangfu family is truly fateful! It’s unbelievable that you could meet under such circumstances..
