Clues About Her Past 7

"Pang Tingting, how do you want me to help you?" Ye Leng'an rested her chin on one hand and held her phone in the other. She looked lazy, and her words carried a hint of laziness. "You should be very clear about the principle of equivalent exchange, right? To get something, you must pay the corresponding price." 2

Obviously, Pang Tingting knew something. However, she had been hiding it all this time, probably planning to use it as a bargaining chip. However, even if Pang Tingting had a bargaining chip, Ye Leng'an was not in a hurry. She knew very clearly that the one who rushed would lose the advantage.

Moreover, although she was very curious about her parentage, she had always maintained a natural and carefree attitude. Right now, she was curious about her family, but she didn't have an intense desire to know. After enduring the passage of so many years, her longing for family ties had long since dissipated.

After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Pang Tingting on the other end of the phone fell into a moment of silence. Initially, she had thought that the leverage she held was significant. However, now, after hearing Ye Leng'an's tone, she started to feel uncertain.

After a long while, Pang Tingting finally spoke again, "Ye Leng'an, didn't you ask me why I chose you before? Now that you know you're not the biological daughter of Ye Li and Lin Wanqin, aren't you the least bit curious about your origins?"

"Yes, I'm curious!" Ye Leng'an smiled and continued, "But so what? Although I'm curious, it's not a burning desire to know. Also, I can be certain that although you know some things, you don't know everything. At the very least, you don't know my parentage."

If Pang Tingting really knew about her parentage, she wouldn't have spoken so humbly. She would have likely been more direct and assertive in her communication.

Sure enough, after hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Pang Tingting fell silent again. Finally, she said, "That's right, Ye Leng'an. I do not know your parentage, but I have something in my hand that should be related to your parentage. Don't you want it?"

Since the conversation had reached this point, there was no reason for her to keep any secrets. She laid all her cards on the table. She was well aware that if she didn't have enough to pique Ye Leng'an's interest, there was no way Ye Leng'an would assist her.

The Ye family was not considered a large family in the capital, but because of Young Master Nangong's attitude toward Ye Xiyuan, everyone had to show some deference to the Ye family. It was also because of this that it was now almost impossible for her to move freely in the capital. 

The only person who could help her now was Ye Leng'an. Of course, this was not because Ye Leng'an was very powerful, but because she had the support of the young master of the Huangfu family behind her.

After hearing Pang Tingting's words, a trace of darkness flashed in Ye Leng'an's eyes. She narrowed her eyes and said coldly, "Pang Tingting, are you sure the information you have is genuine?"

If the thing in Pang Tingting's hand was really related to her parentage, she wouldn't mind giving her a helping hand.

"I can guarantee it's absolutely genuine," Pang Tingting anxiously said in response to Ye Leng'an's doubt. "Ye Leng'an, things have come to this point. I have no need to lie to you, right? Besides, I've already offended the Ye family. I don't want you as an enemy anymore."

"Very well," Ye Leng'an said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow morning at 10, at the same cafe as last time. Let's meet and talk then."

"Alright," Pang Tingting immediately agreed upon hearing Ye Leng'an's words. "I'll definitely be there on time."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Leng'an fell into deep thought and didn't even notice Huangfu Ruiling's arrival. 

"What are you thinking about so intently?" Huangfu Ruiling extended his hand and lightly tapped the forehead of Ye Leng'an. His tone carried a hint of indulgence. "I sat down next to you and you didn't even notice, you were that absorbed in your thoughts."

"Oh, you're here!" Ye Leng'an seemed to wake up from a dream and smiled embarrassedly, "I just received a call and found out some things, so I got a bit lost in thought and didn't notice for a moment." 

After speaking, Ye Leng'an told him everything about Pang Tingting's call. 

Now that she and Huangfu Ruiling were a couple, she didn't feel like she needed to hide such things from him. So, without waiting for Huangfu Ruiling to inquire, she spoke up on her own.

After finishing speaking, Ye Leng'an frowned and continued, "Why do I feel like my parentage is really mysterious? Tell me, what kind of people do you think are my family?"

"Don't think too much about it." Huangfu Ruiling reached out and ruffled Ye Leng'an's hair, then smiled and said, "When the time comes, you'll definitely know everything. Or are you that eager to know your parentage now?"

Actually, he had already sent people to help investigate Ye Leng'an's background, but there had been no progress. So he didn't tell Ye Leng'an about it, afraid she would be disappointed.

"Although I'm curious, I'm not in a hurry to know everything." Ye Leng'an smiled and shook her head. "Besides, I've already grown up, and I've long passed the stage where I needed family ties. Now, the pursuit of my parentage is just about finding an answer."

She just wanted to know if she had been intentionally abandoned, accidentally stolen away, or for some other reason ended up being lost and alone.

However, she felt that even if she found her family, she might not be that excited. She was already used to living alone. Well, now there was Huangfu Ruiling. However, she did not need her family to interfere in her life.

Huangfu Ruiling smiled gently and said, "If that's the case, then don't rush it. You can take it slowly! After meeting Pang Tingting tomorrow and getting that information related to your parentage from her, I'll help you investigate further!"

"Okay." Ye Leng'an nodded in agreement. 

After saying this, the two of them ordered food. 

While waiting for the dishes to be served, Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng'an and suddenly said, "Now that we've talked about your parentage, shouldn't we talk about what's going on between us?"

"Huh?" Huangfu Ruiling's sudden words left Ye Leng'an stunned. "What are you talking about? What could be going on between us?"
