After she finished speaking, she turned around and left, leaving Nangong Xuyao and Ye Xiyuan alone in the room. The two of them looked at each other silently.
The next day at noon, Huangfu Ruiling had Li San prepare the medical bill and then sent it out along with the sh.e.l.l.
After that, he decided to look for Ye Lengan. He had already arranged all the work for the day and planned to go on a date with her that afternoon.
However, he did not expect to encounter an uninvited guest before leaving the office, his father, Huangfu Jingzhang.
Seeing Huangfu Ruiling about to leave, Huangfu Jingzhang couldnt help but frown. Its so early now. Where are you going? he asked. Are you going to find that Ye Lengan?
Its none of your concern, said Huangfu Ruiling, looking at Huangfu
Jingzhang sitting across from him at the desk. He couldnt help but frown. Why did you come to the company today?
Why? As the head of the Huangfu family, cant I come take a look at the company? asked Huangfu Jingzhang, looking at Huangfu Ruiling. Or are you saying you no longer consider me your father?
Huangfu Ruilings eyes flashed with traces of sarcasm. If you have something to say, then speak plainly. Dont try to rely on being my father to show off power here. Otherwise, 1 wont entertain you.
You Seeing Huangfu Ruilings att.i.tude, Huangfu Jingzhang was furious.
You unfilial child, I am your father. How dare you speak to me this way?
Do I dare? I already have, said Huangfu Ruiling coldly. Also, this is the company office. If you have no other business, then leave quickly!
Break up with Ye Lengan, said Huangfu Jingzhang bluntly, leaning back in his chair. Ye Lengan doesnt even know who her parents are. Shes not worthy of you at all.
Oh? Then what kind of person do you think is worthy of me? asked Huangfu
Ruiling, placing his elbows on the desk. When he looked at Huangfu Jingzhang, there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, more like looking at a stranger than his father.
The young lady of the Ye family, Ye Wanwan, said Huangfu Jingzhang immediately. Your mother should have told you. The Ye family has already agreed to a marriage alliance with our Huangfu family. Therefore, your future wife can only be Ye Wanwan.
If you like Ye Wanwan so much, then go marry her yourself, said Huangfu Ruiling indifferently. l will never agree to marry Ye Wanwan. Its a marriage alliance anyway, and youre the Huangfu familys patriarch. Its even better for you to marry her yourself.
Hearing Huangfu Ruilings words, Huangfu Jingzhang could no longer suppress the anger in his chest. He directly picked up an item from the table and threw it at Huangfu Ruiling. You unfilial child, do you know what nonsense youre spewing?
l know exactly what Im saying, replied Huangfu Ruiling, raising his hand and catching the thrown object. His tone was icy cold. Youre the one who doesnt know what youre talking about. You dont get to decide my marriage.
Im your father. Why cant I make the decision? shouted Huangfu Jingzhang. You are my son, so I can decide your marriage. No matter what, Ill say here today that the future matriarch of the Huangfu family can only be Ye Wanwan.
Huangfu Ruilings voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm. Then Ill tell you directly now. If you want Ye Wanwan, go ahead and marry her yourself. You can make her the Huangfu familys matriarch right away. I have no objections. However, dont even think about interfering with my marriage.
You
Hearing such words, Huangfu Jingzhang felt a burst of pain in his chest from anger. He clutched his chest with one hand and pointed at Huangfu Ruiling with a trembling hand. You unfilial child, are you trying to anger me to death?
Im just stating facts, said Huangfu Ruiling, raising his head again. There was no warmth in his eyes. His words were even colder, chilling. Dont try to interfere in my matters anymore. Otherwise, I dont mind changing the head of the Huangfu family right now.
With a threatening and icy tone, Huangfu Jingzhang couldnt help but s.h.i.+ver. He looked at Huangfu Ruiling sitting across from him, feeling a strange mix of familiarity and estrangement at that moment.
Perhaps he had never seen Huangfu Ruiling like this before.
Throughout his life, he had always known that Huangfu Ruiling was a reclusive person, so he didnt like to interact with their relatives. Of course, he couldnt say that he liked this son of his. Especially since the other had practically taken away all of his power, his feelings towards this son were quite complex. He was both proud of the fact that his son had become so skilled at such a young age and resentful of the fact that his son had taken away his power.
But even so, he had secretly been proud that no matter how powerful Huangfu Ruiling became, he was still his son and had to listen to him. Otherwise, he wouldnt have been allowed to continue sitting in the seat of the Huangfu familys patriarch after having his power seized.
It was only today he realized Huangfu Ruiling had not been tolerating him at all. Rather, he had not taken him seriously whatsoever. In Huangfu Ruilings eyes, what he had done was probably just the antics of a clown.
Taking a deep breath, Huangfu Jingzhangs att.i.tude softened. Ruiling, everything I did was for your own good. With Ye Lengans background, do you really think she can take on the position of Huangfu familys matriarch? If you truly care for Ye Lengan, I wont force you to break up. However, if Ye Lengan wants to marry you, thats absolutely impossible. After getting married, you can still keep seeing Ye Lengan. Ye Wanwan is the young lady of the Ye family. She was born into a prominent family and has seen these sorts of things since she was young. Therefore, she would still have that bit of tolerance.
Just like him, even though his wife was Zhongyu Liuying, he had several lovers outside. Of course, none of these lovers had children because their backgrounds were not deemed worthy of carrying the bloodline of the
Huangfu family.
Zhongyu Liuying was aware of these affairs, but as long as these outside women didnt threaten her position, she chose not to interfere.
So, he thought that if Huangfu Ruiling truly liked Ye Lengan, he could keep her outside. After all, she was just a woman, and it wouldnt be a big deal..
