Chapter 961: Making A Phone Call

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Seeing Ye Leng’an’s demeanor, Zhou Cui’an quickly pressed on, “Everything I’ve said is true. I’m already carrying Huangfu Shaohua’s child. You can’t just ignore me!”

A few days ago, she had noticed some changes in her body, prompting her to visit the hospital for a check-up. That was when she discovered her pregnancy. Upon hearing the news, her initial reaction was one of excitement. After all, this child belonged to Huangfu Shaohua. Even if he was on the brink of marriage, it didn’t change the fact.

However, what left her feeling hopeless was her inability to reach Huangfu Shaohua. The number she had was now out of service. She even tried reaching out to Murong Yumeng, but Murong Yumeng refused to see her now.

With no other option, she turned to Ye Leng’an. It was Ye Leng’an who, on the day she attempted suicide, admitted that her fiancé was named Huangfu Ruiling.

Regardless of Huangfu Ruiling’s status in the Huangfu family, he was still family with Huangfu Shaohua. So, Ye Leng’an should be able to locate him.

Now that she was pregnant, even if she couldn’t return to school, she had to hold Huangfu Shaohua accountable! The child in her womb carried Huangfu Shaohua’s blood.

On the sidelines, Mr. and Mrs. Zhou fidgeted, heads bowed, utterly bewildered. Hearing Zhou Cui’an’s confident revelation of her pregnancy only deepened their embarrassment. In their hometown, premarital pregnancy was a disgraceful affair.

But now that they were in this situation, all they could do was accompany their daughter and see if they could find a decent solution. If the man was willing to take responsibility, that would be best. If not, they would have to find a solution themselves. After all, this child wasn’t just hers.

Ye Leng’an frowned, glancing at Zhou Cui’an’s belly before speaking, “So what if you’re pregnant? What’s that got to do with me? This isn’t my child.”

She had completely calmed down from her initial surprise upon hearing the news. Reflecting on Zhou Cui’an’s attitude, she found it somewhat amusing. Why should she be involved?

“Ye Leng’an, isn’t your fiancé also from the Huangfu family?” Zhou Cui’an hurriedly interjected, “He should be able to find Huangfu Shaohua, right? I can’t reach Huangfu Shaohua at all now. If you don’t help me, I’ll be at a loss.”

“Zhou Cui’an, take a good look at me. Do I seem like a compassionate saint to you?” Ye Leng’an retorted sarcastically. “You haven’t forgotten our relationship, have you? Although it’s not a matter of life and death, we’ve reached the point of mutual disdain! Now you want me to help you? Are you serious?”

“This is a simple matter for you!”

Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s refusal, Zhou Cui’an became visibly agitated. “I’m not asking you to do anything. I just want you to make a phone call with me and contact Shaohua.”

“Isn’t it the same if you go to Murong Yumeng?” Ye Leng’an replied coldly. “Didn’t you two meet because of her? Since you can’t find him now, go find Murong Yumeng.”

“Senior Sister Murong doesn’t even want to see me now,” Zhou Cui’an added with a tinge of resentment before pleading, “Ye Leng’an, I won’t ask you to do this out of our past relationship. Please help me this one time, considering the child in my womb bears the bloodline of the Huangfu family!”

“Miss, have pity on her child! There must be an explanation for this! We’re all from humble backgrounds. We don’t have the means to help our child, but we can’t just let her life be ruined like this!”

Ye Leng’an frowned as she looked at the family of three.

She had no sympathy for Zhou Cui’an, but she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her parents.

Moreover, if Zhou Cui’an was truly pregnant with Huangfu Shaohua’s child, then it concerned the Huangfu family. Huangfu Ruiling, as the head of the Huangfu family, should handle such matters.

With these thoughts in mind, Ye Leng’an sighed and turned to Zhou Cui’an. “Just wait here! I’ll make a call.”

Seeing Ye Leng’an relent, Zhou Cui’an couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She felt much more relaxed. Her previously weary expression now seemed more spirited.

Ignoring Zhou Cui’an, Ye Leng’an left the living room to call Huangfu Ruiling.

Huangfu Ruiling was surprised to receive Ye Leng’an’s call. He knew Ye Leng’an intended to spend the whole day in the alchemy room, so it was unexpected for her to call him now.

After listening to her explanation, Huangfu Ruiling understood the situation. He replied in a low voice, “Tell them to wait at the villa. I’ll be back soon. Huangfu Shaohua will arrive shortly.”

After hanging up, Ye Leng’an paid no further attention to Zhou Cui’an and her parents. Instead, she instructed Sister Li to prepare lunch. Given the circumstances, neither she nor Huangfu Ruiling could leave for a meal.

However, she didn’t instruct Sister Li to prepare food for the Zhou family.

She felt that allowing them in and making the call was already going out of her way. As for the rest, she couldn’t care less.

Returning to the living room, Ye Leng’an immediately noticed Zhou Cui’an’s hopeful gaze.

Ye Leng’an nodded and spoke coldly, “Huangfu Shaohua will arrive soon. You can discuss how to handle the child then. I won’t interfere in your affairs.”

Zhou Cui’an’s parents nodded repeatedly.

“We’ve already caused you enough trouble. We won’t trouble you anymore.”

“Exactly! We’ll sort out the rest ourselves. We definitely won’t trouble you anymore.”

Zhou Cui’an remained silent, her thoughts inscrutable.
