Chapter 885: Representing Our Huangfu Family

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Although Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were deeply displeased by Ye Wanwans plot against Ye Lengan, it didnt mean they were willing to stand by and watch Ye Lengan harm Ye Wanwan.

Especially now, it was an undeniable fact that Ye Wanwan was injured, even if it was part of a scheme. The consequences of being injured by Ye Lengan again were clear.

Immediately, everyone gathered around Ye Wanwan, expressing concern for her injuries.

Ye Hongxuan hastily produced numerous pills and fed them all to Ye Wanwan. However, despite their efforts, her complexion remained grim.

Fortunately, perhaps because Ye Lengan hadnt gone for the kill, Ye Wanwans injuries, though severe, werent life-threatening. Nevertheless, she would require a lengthy period of rest to recuperate properly. Otherwise, there was a risk of leaving underlying health issues.

There was no sympathy on Ye Lengans face. Ye Wanwan, how are you feeling? Youre the one I injured, so now you can tell everyone that you were hurt by me.

Ye Wanwan clutched her chest, unable to utter a word. However, her eyes revealed her intense hatred towards Ye Lengan.

What, giving up the act? Ye Lengan glanced at Ye Wanwan, blinking. She smirked and said, Havent you always enjoyed putting on a show of magnanimity and victimhood in front of everyone? Why not showcase your acting skills now? Although I must admit, youre more pleasing to the eye like this. Your usual pretense is quite repulsive!

The onlookers cast complicated glances at Ye Wanwan. Until now, she had always been perceived as gentle, kind, and magnanimous. However, tonights events shattered that image for everyone. It seemed this side of Ye Wanwan was also ruthless! Otherwise, why would she harm herself and falsely accuse Ye Lengan?

Recollections of the previous Family Compet.i.tion surfaced in everyones minds. After that incident, Ye Wanwan had seemed much gentler. Consequently, most had nearly forgotten about it. Now, due to tonights events, those memories resurfaced. Everyone was beginning to see Ye Wanwan in a new light.

Though Ye Wanwan was in pain, she could sense the peculiar gazes directed at her. She could almost envision that by tomorrow, news of tonights events would spread throughout the entire Hidden World. The image she had worked so hard to maintain and the impression she had finally managed to reverse were now completely shattered.

But what frightened her the most was not knowing how her parents viewed her now. She was also worried about Murong Xingruis opinion.

Lengan, this is Wanwans fault, Lian Mengzhu couldnt help but interject. However, shes already been punished. Theres no need to kick her while shes down.

She too felt that Ye Wanwans actions were unjustifiable. However, with Ye Wanwan now injured twice, she might need an extended period of bed rest. This was a severe consequence, and there was no need for Ye Lengan to continue taunting her.

Moreover, she felt Ye Lengans sudden attack was uncalled for. Though Ye Wanwan was initially at fault, she had been pressured into revealing everything, which completely humiliated her. For Ye Lengan to strike at this point was a bit much.

Though dissatisfied, she knew Ye Lengans opinion of them had likely soured due to recent events. So, she refrained from blaming her, lest their relations.h.i.+p worsen.

Seeing Lian Mengzhu speak up, Ye Hongxuan immediately cut her off. Mengzhu, say no more.

Though Lian Mengzhu didnt intend her words as reproachful, they sounded like it to outsiders. Hence, his reprimand.

It should be noted that Mengzhus words only pushed Ye Lengan further away.

Master Ye, Mrs. Ye, now that the truth has come to light, shouldnt the Ye family also explain to our Huangfu family? Ye Lengan changed tack, her expression growing serious. This matter shouldnt be taken lightly!

Theres no need to blow this out of proportion! Lian Mengzhus tone carried a hint of urgency. Wanwan has admitted everything, and shes been injured by you. What more do you want?

She hadnt expected Ye Lengan to escalate the matter to involve both families. If that were the case, even if Wanwan returned to the Ye family, she would undoubtedly still face punishment.

Ye Hongxuans expression soured, but he didnt directly confront Ye Lengan. Instead, he turned to Huangfu Ruiling. Master Huangfu, do you share the same view?

He held onto a glimmer of hope. After all, feuding between two families was no trivial matter. As the head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Ruiling should prioritize the bigger picture, regardless of how much he favored Ye Lengan!

What Anan wants is what I want. Huangfu Ruiling stepped forward, embracing Ye Lengan. He surveyed the crowd before speaking in a measured tone. Anan is my fiance and the matriarch of the Huangfu family. From now on, everything she says and decides represents our Huangfu family.

At his words, everyones eyes widened in astonishment as they rea.s.sessed Ye Lengans status within the Huangfu family.

Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan were merely engaged; they werent even husband and wife yet. But for Huangfu Ruiling to grant Ye Lengan full authority to represent the Huangfu family was a significant show of power. Had he thought this through?

Those who had attended Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengans engagement banquet knew that Huangfu Ruiling doted on Ye Lengan greatly. However, they hadnt antic.i.p.ated his doting to the extent of relinquis.h.i.+ng the entire Huangfu familys authority to her.

It seemed everyone would need to reevaluate Ye Lengans position in Huangfu Ruilings heart

At the very least, Ye Lengan was someone not to be trifled with!

Though in pain, Ye Wanwan remained lucid. Thus, she heard Huangfu Ruilings words clearly.

A surge of jealousy towards Ye Lengan welled up within her. Especially upon hearing Huangfu Ruiling bestow such immense power upon Ye Lengan, she nearly spat blood once again.
