Chapter 878: Arrogance

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

What do you mean by this, Ye Lengan?

Upon hearing Ye Lengans provocative words, Zhongyu Jiarui almost jumped up. She extended her hand, pointing at Ye Lengans nose as she began to scold, Youve injured someone, yet you dare to utter such words here. Let me tell you, dont think youre above everyone just because you have Master Huangfu backing you.

A cold gleam flickered in Ye Lengans eyes as she stared at the finger near her nose. However, before she could react, Huangfu Ruiling acted first.

He reached out, grabbed Zhongyu Jiaruis wrist, and twisted it. The hand contorted in an odd manner, and the finger pointing at Ye Lengan drooped down.

Along with Huangfu Ruilings movement, Zhongyu Jiaruis cries of agony echoed throughout the entire venue. Just the sound of her pain was enough to send s.h.i.+vers down ones spine, indicating the magnitude of suffering she endured.

Jiarui! Ye Wanwan exclaimed in shock.

The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. By the time they processed what had happened, Zhongyu Jiarui was already injured.

No one had antic.i.p.ated such repeated incidents of violence during this years gathering.

Master Huangfu, are you going too far? Ye Wanwan panted heavily, her face filled with righteous anger. Jiarui was merely speaking the truth. How did she offend you to deserve such treatment? Shes innocent.

With Zhongyu Jiarui already injured, further retreat would only raise more suspicions. She had no choice but to go along with the situation.

No, youre mistaken, Ye Lengan retorted. Despite the tragic scene before her, she remained composed, even sporting a smile. Zhongyu Jiaruis fate isnt due to her words but rather her disobedient hands. I detest being pointed at. It incites an urge within me to destroy.

Calm words concealing vicious intent.

Ye Lengans demeanor shocked everyone present. Previously known only as Huangfu Ruilings fiance, she was now revealed as a formidable figure.

Miss Ye, arent you being too arrogant? A resonant voice sounded as Master Zhongyu walked forward.

He hadnt been present when the incident occurred but had been outside conversing with Master Murong. Rus.h.i.+ng over upon hearing of the commotion, he was met with Ye Lengans brazen words.

Father.

Seeing Master Zhongyus arrival, Zhongyu Jiaruis face lit up as though shed found salvation. Enduring the pain in her wrist, she approached her fathers side.

Witnessing Zhongyu Jiaruis pitiful state, Master Zhongyu showed no sign of pity, only a trace of impatience flickering in his eyes. Enough, I understand. Step aside for now.

He couldnt comprehend how he, a shrewd man, had a daughter so obtuse.

Though he wasnt entirely clear on the situation, hed gleaned some information upon arriving. This incident was evidently a matter between Ye Lengan and the Ye family. Why his foolish daughter had gotten involved was beyond him.

Regardless, they were in public now. He had to protect Zhongyu Jiarui. She was his daughter, representing the Zhongyu familys honor.

Especially with Ye Lengan still being so audacious. Even after injuring someone, she dared to speak so shamelessly. Even with the Huangfu family backing her, he couldnt let the matter rest.

Ye Lengan blinked, showing no signs of backing down even in front of Master Zhongyu. Master Zhongyu, have you grasped the situation? How dare you call me arrogant here.

Regardless of the circ.u.mstances, harming someone is wrong. Master Zhongyus gaze narrowed as he exuded pressure. Miss Ye, despite you are Master Huangfus fiance, Jiarui is still my daughter. Are you prepared to make enemies of the Zhongyu family with your actions?

If members of the Zhongyu family are so unreasonable, why should we fear becoming enemies? Ye Lengan showed no fear, maintaining her calm demeanor. She slandered me first, then pointed fingers and cursed at me. Isnt this provocation? Since you were unjust first, dont blame us for being unjust later.

You

Hearing Ye Lengans brazen words, Master Zhongyus face turned deathly pale, and he laughed angrily. Quite sharp-tongued, no wonder you dared to injure people at the Enforcement Teams banquet!

With that, he turned to Huangfu Ruiling. Master Huangfu, are you going to allow your fiance to ruin the friends.h.i.+p between our families?

He couldnt believe that Huangfu Ruiling would truly turn a blind eye to Ye Lengans actions. If Huangfu Ruiling were really that foolish, he wouldnt have been able to lead the Huangfu family to its recent glory.

Even if Huangfu Ruiling had made vows at the engagement banquet, it didnt mean he valued Ye Lengan over the Huangfu familys interests.

Huangfu Ruilings indifferent gaze met Master Zhongyus, his voice cold. Master Zhongyu, theres something you may not be aware of. I was the one who injured your daughter, not Anan. Furthermore, Anan is the matriarch of the Huangfu family. Your daughter pointed fingers and cursed at the matriarch of our Huangfu family. Isnt this provocation? Are you also planning to become enemies with the Huangfu family?

The relentless questioning left Master Zhongyu momentarily unsure of how to respond.
