Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Back then, Murong Jingming had raised this matter in front of so many people. If they reneged now, the Ye familys reputation would truly be irreparable. Moreover, most importantly, everyone would attribute the Murong familys backtrack to this compet.i.tion.

In the future, finding an equally matched husband would become much more challenging for Wanwan.

I dont know yet. Ye Hongxuan shook his head, Murong Jingming is a shrewd character, adept at calculation. Initially, he agreed to the marriage because Wanwans performance was remarkable. However, with this recent incident, Im uncertain about his thoughts now.

Hearing this, Ye Wanwan was genuinely anxious. Father, l

She had already lost the compet.i.tion, and it was a significant defeat. Losing the marriage to the Murong family now would greatly undermine her standing in the Ye family. Therefore, under any circ.u.mstance, she couldnt let this marriage fall apart.

Ye Hongxuan raised his hand, halting Ye Wanwan. l know youre unwilling, but the initiative is no longer in our hands. If Murong Jingming decides not to proceed as agreed, theres nothing we can do.

Atter all, the matter between Murong Xingrui and Ye Wanwan was merely verbal between him and Murong Jingming. The two families had not formally initiated marriage negotiations or exchanged tokens.

Therefore, even if Murong Jingming chose not to uphold his end, claiming it was a jest, they had no recourse. Moreover, given the current circ.u.mstances, they couldnt adopt a forceful stance. Doing so would only bring shame to the Ye family.

So, we cant take any action now. We can only wait, right? Lian Mengzhus tone held a hint of resentment. !Wanwan is outstanding. Why should the initiative be in their hands?

Because of what she did today, Ye Hongxuan declared bluntly. So, were already at a disadvantage. Theres no other way.

Ye Wanwan felt her injuries intensify upon hearing Ye Hongxuans words. She hadnt expected that she would lose her marriage with the Murong family due to this incident. If only she had known

In reality, even if she had known, she might have still chosen this method. She wanted to win this compet.i.tion, as only then could her position be more secure.

We cant do anything about the Murong family now. We can only wait and see. Ye Hongxuan shook his head, then looked at Ye Wanwan, Rest well. After a few days, when your body is better and you can get out of bed, youll go apologize to the Huangfu family with me!

What? Hearing Ye Hongxuans words, Ye Wanwan lost her composure.

Father, you want me to apologize to the Huangfu family?

Todays events had already caused her to lose all dignity. If she apologized to the Huangfu family now, how many people would laugh at her?

Even Mengzhu couldnt help but frown. Hongxuan, didnt you already apologize to Master Huangfu in the square? Moreover, the Huangfu family is the victor now. Why do we have to go back and humiliate ourselves? Besides, the Huangfu family hasnt given us an explanation about Huangfu Ruiling. If thats the case, why should we go? In short, she disagreed with Wanwan apologizing. Wasnt this a blatant humiliation?

Thats a different matter. Ye Hongxuan shook his head, unswayed. Wanwan was ffffong to use such methods in the Family Compet.i.tion. What she needs to do now is to apologize to the Huangfu family. This isnt just for the Huangfu family but also for the elders of our family.

If possible, he didnt want his daughter to apologize and humiliate herself. However, Wanwans recent actions were too outrageous. The family elders had long been dissatisfied. If Wanwan still refused to express her stance this time, the elders would definitely not let the matter rest.

Ye Wanwan was still unwilling. Father, l

Enough. Ye Hongxuan raised his hand, looking at Ye Wanwan directly. The elders are already very dissatisfied with you. If you still dont correct your att.i.tude, your position as the heiress will be in jeopardy. Dont forget, your second uncles son, your cousin, has always been eyeing the position.

Hearing that, Ye Wanwan gritted her teeth and nodded. Father, I understand.

Ill go with you to the Huangfu family in two days when Ive recovered a little.

The current her had no other choice; she absolutely couldnt lose the position of the heir. Therefore, no matter what, she must obtain forgiveness from the Huangfu family. Only in this way would those elders of their family finally keep quiet.

Seeing Ye Wanwans obedient appearance, Ye Hongxuan nodded.

Soon, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu left the room, leaving Ye Wanwan alone.

However, at this moment, Ye Wanwan could no longer calm down and rest well..
