The Reward

"No matter who proposed it, it must have been Zhong Yating who first conceived the idea," Huangfu Ruiling remarked lightly. "Huangfu Ruixiang isn't the type to consider every detail, so it's unlikely he would notice such a thing."

He had some insight into his so-called younger brother.

"So it's probably her who guided Huangfu Ruixiang into thinking this way!" Ye Leng'an nodded knowingly. "However, Huangfu Ruixiang will probably find it very difficult to shake off Zhong Yating for the rest of his life. Originally, because of Huangfu Jingzhang's matter, he already felt guilty towards Zhong Yating. Plus, Zhong Yating is very scheming and knows how to leverage her advantages. Huangfu Ruixiang won't be able to escape."

"He brought this upon himself," Huangfu Ruiling said without a hint of sympathy. "He's reaping what he sowed. However, Zhong Yating's advantage is only temporary. Such guilt won't last forever."
