Chapter 795: Feeling Unwelcome

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature around Huangfu Ruiling dropped visibly, causing an evident chill to permeate the entire room. This abrupt change left everyone puzzled, as in their eyes, Ye Hongxuans actions seemed justified. After all, Ye Wanwan was his biological daughter, so it was only natural for him to protect her.

Moreover, it was the birthday of Old Master Ye. While Ye Lengan, as the fiance of Master Huangfu, was an esteemed guest, it wasnt appropriate for her to be so a.s.sertive on someone elses turf.

Master Ye is indeed a devoted father! Huangfu Ruiling remarked, his tone carrying a hint of coldness as he looked at Ye Hongxuan. One cant help but wonder if your daughter is fortunate or unfortunate to have a father like you.

Although Ye Lengan seemed indifferent to Ye Hongxuan, his actions clearly incensed Huangfu Ruiling. While verbally expressing the desire to reconcile with Anan and hoping for her return to the Ye family, his actions leaned towards defending Ye Wanwan at every turn. If that was the case, he should refrain from a.s.suming the role of a father in front of Anan and avoid eliciting disgust.

Most bystanders were perplexed by Huangfu Ruilings words, unable to decipher his intentions. However, his evident displeasure discouraged anyone from challenging him further.

In contrast to Huangfu Ruilings demeanor, Ye Lengan remained composed, showing no sign of agitation. She disregarded Ye Hongxuans protective stance towards Ye Wanwan and the subtle provocations directed at her, unfazed by the situation.

Only those who cared would feel distressed by Ye Hongxuans actions. Yet, Ye Lengan harbored no sentiments towards him. If not for their blood ties, they might not have crossed paths at all. Hence, Ye Hongxuans words failed to evoke any emotion in her.

Huangfu Ruilings remark caught Ye Hongxuan off guard, prompting him to furrow his brows. He saw no fault in his words, merely wis.h.i.+ng to prevent further escalation of the situation.

Its nothing more than ensuring the celebration proceeds smoothly on Fathers birthday, Lian Mengzhu chimed in, attempting to defuse the tension. As juniors, we wish to bring joy to Fathers festivities. If anything has caused you discomfort, we apologize.

Observing Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhus indifference, Huangfu Ruilings eyes flashed with a cold gleam. However, before he could voice his thoughts, he felt a tug on his sleeve.

Ye Lengans gesture silenced Huangfu Ruiling, who refrained from speaking further under her signal.

After Huangfu Ruilings silence, Ye Lengan turned her gaze back to Ye Hongxuan. With a faint smile, she advised, Master Ye, while I understand your desire to protect your daughter, perhaps you should focus on guiding her to avoid provoking me. I believe youre well aware of my temper. Should she provoke me again, even I cant guarantee my reaction.

At her words, Ye Hongxuan, Lian Mengzhu, and Ye Wanwan stiffened, recalling Ye Lengans ruthless act of crippling Ye Wanwans dantian.

Especially Ye Wanwan, who couldnt help but s.h.i.+ver at the memory.

The agony of her shattered dantian and the subsequent recovery surpa.s.sed comprehension. The excruciating pain inflicted by Ye Lengan haunted her, instilling a sense of dread whenever she reminisced about it.

Observing Ye Wanwans reaction, Ye Lengan nodded in satisfaction.

Miss Ye, arrogance begets downfall.

At that moment, an elderly voice interjected, none other than Ye Yikun. With narrowed eyes and a sharp gaze, he addressed Ye Lengan, Today marks my birthday. Do you deem your actions appropriate?

While Ye Lengans return promised benefits for the Ye family, it didnt excuse her audacious behavior. Especially on such an auspicious occasion, her insolence as his granddaughter was unforgivable.

Upon her return, he would ensure she learned the proper etiquette.

I find nothing inappropriate in my actions today. Ye Lengan shrugged, indifferent to Ye Yikuns reproach. Moreover, didnt Ye Wanwan bring this upon herself? Outsiders may not understand our relations.h.i.+p, but surely you do. She addressed me so casually as sister. Are you certain it wasnt a provocation?

Unaware of Ye Yikuns thoughts, she continued, expressing her disdain. If she knew, she would have retorted immediately. What audacity it took to presume to teach her manners!

Upon hearing Ye Lengans words, Ye Wanwans pupils contracted, and then she hurriedly spoke up to explain, I really didnt mean anything else, I just wanted to get close to Miss Ye. I

Ye Wanwans panicked explanation evoked sympathy, while Ye Lengans aggressive demeanor irked some bystanders.

Facing such a situation, an ordinary person would undoubtedly panic. Yet, Ye Lengan remained composed, looking at Ye Yikun directly, continuing, Old Master Ye, may I infer that the Ye family does not welcome our presence here?
