Chapter 828: Entering the Family Tree

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Seeing Huangfu Ruixiangs retreat, Zhong Yatings eyes couldnt help but flash with a trace of disdain and satisfaction. She had already antic.i.p.ated this outcome. As long as Huangfu Ruixiang saw Huangfu Ruilings cold demeanor, he wouldnt dare to step forward at this moment.

She knew that Li Yirans presence here today was orchestrated by her cunning mother-in-law. It was due to her dissatisfaction with Zhong Yatings background that she wanted to support Li Yiran against her. Unfortunately, this was the result.

Just moments ago, Li Yiran was still provoking her. Now, in the blink of an eye, she couldnt back down.

Seeing this situation, she felt immensely pleased!

Zhongyu Liuying and Nangong Xiyu glanced at each other, and Nangong Xiyu immediately looked away.

Clearly, Nangong Xiyu didnt want to get involved in this matter. No matter what, Li Yirans appearance was inappropriate for todays occasion.

She had already warned Zhongyu Liuying earlier. It was a pity the other party wasnt willing to listen, so there was nothing more she could say.

Thus, faced with this situation, she naturally couldnt lend a helping hand.

Seeing Nangong Xiyus evasive gaze, Zhongyu Liuying gritted her teeth in frustration. She knew that at this critical moment, Nangong Xiyu would definitely s.h.i.+rk responsibility. This was truly shameless.

Whats wrong? Is my question difficult to answer? Huangfu Ruilings cold voice rang out again. Or do you all think its normal for Li Yiran to be here?

Ye Lengan, beside him, remained silent. She simply watched the drama unfold without expressing any opinions.

Upon arriving, she had already noticed Li Yirans presence. At first, she found it somewhat strange. However, when she saw Li Yiran intending to enter the ancestral hall, she was greatly surprised.

Though she wasnt familiar with many of the Huangfu familys customs, she knew places like the ancestral hall were solemn. With Li Yirans status, she wasnt qualified to enter.

However, Li Yirans presence here was likely orchestrated by Zhongyu Liuying.

She understood Zhongyu Liuyings motives but couldnt help but sigh. This was indeed a risky move!

She wanted to use an occasion like today to elevate Li Yirans status, so she could continue to oppose Zhong Yating. But Zhongyu Liuying hadnt considered whether an occasion like today was really something she could exploit.

Seeing Huangfu Ruilings expression darken even further, Nangong Xiyu quickly spoke up to distance herself. This was all suggested by your mother, and I advised against it, but to no avail.

Nangong Xiyu bluntly laid out all the facts; she had no intention of sharing responsibility with Zhongyu Liuying.

Upon hearing Nangong Xiyus attempts to deflect blame, Zhongyu Liuyings expression turned ugly. She glared fiercely at Nangong Xiyu before forcing a smile and reluctantly speaking up. Although Yiran is not Ruixiangs wife, she has given birth to Ruixiangs only son. So, today I intend to have the childs name entered into the family tree. Naturally, as the birth mother, Yiran should also witness this scene.

Nangong Xiyu naturally noticed the almost murderous look Zhongyu Liuying directed at her. However, she didnt care at all. After all, this matter had nothing to do with her. She couldnt let herself, an outsider, bear the responsibility!

Seeing Zhongyu Liuying step forward to explain for her, Li Yiran finally felt relieved.

On the family tree? Hearing Zhongyu Liuyings explanation, Huangfu Ruiling frowned.

At these words, Li Yirans heart skipped a beat.

Because she felt todays matter might be doomed. As the head of the Huangfu family, if Huangfu Ruiling disagreed, the child wouldnt be entered into the family tree.

In a large family like the Huangfu family, only those on the family tree were considered true members. Otherwise, even if the child was registered with Huangfu Ruixiang, he wouldnt be recognized.

If the child wasnt recognized by the Huangfu family, hed forever be an outsider, not valued by the family.

As for her, the so-called biological mother, she had even less status.

Zhongyu Liuying clearly understood Huangfu Ruilings meaning. She hurriedly said, This child is Ruixiangs biological child. Its only natural for him to be on the family tree.

Thats right.

At this moment, Huangfu Jingzhang also stepped forward. This is Ruixiangs son and my grandson, so he must be on the family tree.

Whether out of genuine love for his grandson or simply to oppose Huangfu Ruiling, he firmly sided with Zhongyu Liuying today.

Li Yiran, who had been silent on the sidelines, couldnt help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing Zhongyu Liuying and Huangfu Jingzhang stand up for the child.

Though she knew their motives werent pure, achieving her goal was what mattered.

Now, as long as the child made it onto the family tree, whether she entered the ancestral hall was less important. To her, the child was her greatest leverage. Only when the childs ident.i.ty was recognized could she, the biological mother, have a place.

Huangfu Ruiling glanced indifferently at Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying, then said, Whether illegitimate children can be entered into the family tree is up to me, not you. Or have you decided to act first and explain later?

Huangfu Ruiling, we are your parents, Huangfu Jingzhang said with exasperation. Is this how you treat your biological parents? Were not asking for much. We just want our biological grandson to be on the family tree. Is that too much to ask? Or do you no longer see us as your parents?

Regardless of the reason, today he had to get this child on the family tree. He also wanted everyone to see that even though Huangfu Ruiling was head of the family, he was still his father. That was an unchangeable fact.

In contrast to Huangfu Jingzhang, Huangfu Ruiling remained calm, even indifferent. This child cannot be entered into the family tree.
