Chapter 767: Seeking Help
Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation
Zhong Yating, who had been enduring, couldnt bear it anymore after hearing these words. She spoke directly, Mother, Ruixiang and I are newlyweds. Isnt this inappropriate? If Ruixiang wants to spend time with Sister and the child, couldnt it wait a few days? Theres no need to do it during our wedding period!
She had endured everything else, but she couldnt tolerate being taken advantage of like this! If she continued to yield for several days in a row, wouldnt Huangfu Ruixiangs mistress truly overshadow her?
Even Ye Lengan, who was nearby, couldnt help but be speechless after hearing Zhongyu Liuyings words. Although she knew the other party wanted to suppress Zhong Yating, she couldnt believe such foolish words could be uttered.
What do you mean? Hearing Zhong Yatings reb.u.t.tal, Zhongyu Liuyings voice immediately rose several notches. As a daughter-in-law, are you criticizing me, your mother-in-law? Youve just married, and you want to a.s.sert your authority. You think youre so remarkable!
I didnt Zhong Yating wanted to defend herself. I just think this is unfair, and if this matter spreads, it wouldnt be good for the reputation of our Huangfu family!
Do you think you need to worry about the reputation of our Huangfu family? Huangfu Jingzhang sneered and said, You just married into the family. Do you think you carry that much weight?
Zhong Yatings face alternated between pale and flushed, feeling extremely embarra.s.sed. She couldnt help but look at Huangfu Ruixiang beside her, obviously hoping her husband would speak up for her.
However, Huangfu Ruixiang obviously didnt take Zhong Yatings side. He looked at her with disapproval. Yating, how can you disobey Mother like this?
Huangfu Ruixiang didnt think much of Zhongyu Liuyings suggestion. After all, even though he and Zhong Yating were married now, he knew Li Yiran first.
Ever since he went to the Hidden World for the Family Compet.i.tion and stayed there, he hadnt been with Li Yiran. He hadnt even seen his child. Now, he was just planning to spend a few days with Li Yiran and the child. What was wrong with that?
Moreover, when they returned to the Hidden World together, they would have to spend time together.
Hearing Huangfu Ruixiangs reproach, Zhong Yating felt wronged. She was clearly the victim in this matter! What newlywed couple would want to separate? Moreover, the husband had to accompany another woman. Wasnt this a blatant slap in her face? If outsiders found out, what would they think of her? And this woman, wouldnt she be mocking her for the rest of her life because of this?
Li Yiran, who was the beneficiary, held the child. Although her face showed no extra expression, the pride in her eyes was unmistakable.
Although she hadnt expected Zhongyu Liuying to make such a decision to suppress Zhong Yating, she was the one who benefited this time, so she was very proud.
Zhong Yating gritted her teeth. She didnt continue to argue with Zhongyu Liuying. She turned her head and looked at Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan beside her, saying, Brother, Sister-in-law, do you think this is reasonable?
She could tell that no one present, whether it was her newlywed husband or her in-laws, would stand by her side at this moment. So she could only seek help from Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan. Even though she knew the other party might not help her, she was still hopeful.
Huangfu Jingzhangs and Zhongyu Liuyings expressions immediately turned ugly. Clearly, they felt that Zhong Yatings actions were embarra.s.sing them.
Huangfu Ruixiang also immediately looked at Huangfu Ruiling, as if afraid the latter would say something.
Li Yiran, on the other hand, looked guilty. She lowered her head and looked at the child in her arms, not daring to say anything.
Huangfu Ruiling remained expressionless as if he hadnt heard Zhong Yatings words. Or rather, he had no intention of getting involved from the start.
On the other hand, Ye Lengan was stunned when she heard her name being called. Originally, she had only come to be a quiet observer and watch the show. She didnt expect to be dragged into the situation now.
Facing Zhong Yatings pleading gaze, Ye Lengan blinked. Finally, she said, This approach is indeed very inappropriate.
As soon as she said this, Huangfu Jingzhangs and Zhongyu Liuyings expressions visibly darkened. When they looked at Ye Lengan, their eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
But because Huangfu Ruiling was present, they couldnt say anything to Ye Lengan.
Zhong Yating seemed to have received great support and immediately became excited. Sister-in-law is right.
Ye Lengans expression remained unchanged even as everyone looked at her. She cleared her throat and continued, Im not taking anyones side when I say this. Im just stating a fact. Ive never seen a groom spend time with another woman a few days just after the wedding. If such a thing were to spread, people would only laugh at the Huangfu family for not knowing the rules.
Regarding Huangfu Ruixiangs situation, she didnt intend to interfere. However, if she had to speak fairly, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying had gone too far.
No matter which family it was, such a thing was impossible. If Zhongyu Liuying wanted to suppress Zhong Yating, she wouldnt interfere. But if she had to judge such a matter that clearly smeared the Huangfu familys reputation, she would definitely feel that such a method was inappropriate.
Such simple words were like a slap to Huangfu Jingzhangs and Zhongyu Liuyings faces. They hated Ye Lengan to the point of grinding their teeth.
But before they could say anything, Huangfu Ruiling had already spoken.
In that case, Ruixiang will accompany Zhong Yating for the next few days! Huangfu Ruiling announced his final decision. We dont want outsiders to ridicule the Huangfu family.
With that final decision, no one present dared to voice any more objections.
Li Yiran lowered her head, a trace of resentment and dissatisfaction flas.h.i.+ng in her eyes. But the decision was made by Huangfu Ruiling, so she didnt dare to say anything.
As for Zhong Yating, she heaved a sigh of relief. She knew she had offended her in-laws by seeking help from Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan. But the other party had gone too far. She had no choice.
