Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zheng Anyang had never expected to see Ye Lengan here. Previously, he had heard rumors about Ye Lengan, so he had always thought that Ye Lengan was an adopted daughter who had been chased out of the Ye family. However, when he saw Ye Lengan give the Ye family 50 million without even blinking, he knew that he had underestimated her. Yet, he couldnt quite fathom the true nature of her.

Now, suddenly seeing her here, and with her accompanying Young Master Huangfu or rather, the soon-to-be patriarch of the Huangfu family he was genuinely taken aback. These two individuals, who appeared to have no connections, had somehow come together.

No one would believe they were merely friends; their intimate behavior suggested a couple deeply in love. For a moment, he found himself genuinely admiring Ye Lengan. She had managed to capture the heart of the normally aloof Huangfu familys young master, Huangfu Ruiling. Huangfu Ruiling was not the type to be easily moved.

Although he was taken aback, Zheng Anyang had no intention of approaching or greeting Ye Lengan. After all, this wasnt the most appropriate occasion.

The handover ceremony proceeded smoothly. However, everyone present understood that Huangfu Ruiling was now in full control. The so-called handover ceremony was merely a formality.

Huangfu Jingzhangs reluctance was evident to nearly everyone. He maintained a stern countenance, devoid of any smiles, and was disinclined to engage in prolonged conversations. This lack of enthusiasm did not come as a surprise to the guests. After all, Huangfu Jingzhang was only in his fifties, and he could have held the position of family head for another ten to twenty years. However, now, he had been compelled to relinquish his position.

No one felt inclined to defend Huangfu Jingzhang. History had always been about winners and losers. In every aspect, Huangfu Jingzhang was inferior to Huangfu Ruiling. Even when he was the family head, real authority rested in the hands of Huangfu Ruiling. This transition simply made everything official.

After the handover ceremony, many approached Huangfu Ruiling to greet him. As the undisputed head of the Huangfu family, it was essential to build a good relations.h.i.+p with him.

Of course, not everyone was ent.i.tled to approach and greet Huangfu Ruiling.

From a distance, Huangfu Jingzhang watched with teeth-gritting envy as Huangfu Ruiling was surrounded by well-wishers. His muttered curses revealed his frustration and disdain for Huangfu Ruiling. However, regardless of his personal feelings, the course of events was now set in stone, and the family elders mostly sided with Huangfu Ruiling.

By himself, Huangfu Jingzhang was powerless.

On the sidelines, Zhongyu Liuying contemplated comforting her husband but struggled to find the right words. Her concerns also weighed on her mind she worried whether her authority within the family would be taken away. Consequently, her emotions were in turmoil.

Sister-in-law, why are you still standing here? Nangong Xiyu approached them with Huangfu Jingxian, wearing a smile. The handover ceremony has concluded, and its time for you to congratulate Ruiling. Besides, you havent inquired whether Ruiling intends to retain your control over the familys internal affairs.

Nangong Xiyus words stiffened Zhongyu Liuyings body, and she regarded Nangong Xiyu with a displeased expression. Nangong Xiyu, you dont need to meddle in this matter. Ultimately, the management rights of the domestic affairs wont end up in your hands.

Her unspoken message was that Nangong Xiyu was overstepping her bounds, verging on interfering in other peoples affairs.

Sister-in-law, thats not a fair thing to say. Nangong Xiyu maintained her composure, smiling as she spoke. After all, Im also part of the family. I need to know who will be in charge of me in the future! Right now, Ruiling hasnt explicitly stated whether the management rights of domestic affairs will remain in your hands.. In the future, should I follow your lead, or should I not?
