“In that case, keep the child!” Huangfu Ruiling said calmly, “No one is allowed to entertain the thought of harming this child again.”
Li Yiran breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. With Huangfu Ruilings order, her child was now safe. At the very least, neither Huangfu Jingzhang nor Zhongyu Liuying could coerce her into having an abortion. However, bringing this child into the world would likely demand considerable effort. After all, avoiding a frontal attack was easy, but guarding against a covert threat was challenging.
Huangfu Jingzhangs eyes flared with anger upon hearing these words. Yet, in the next moment, he seemed to recall something, and his gaze turned opaque.
At that moment, Ye Lengan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, “Ruiling, what if someone intends to harm the child in Li Yiran’s womb? There’s still a considerable time before delivery, and if someone harbors ill intentions, there are ways.”
Huangfu Jingzhangs expression stiffened at these words. When he looked at Ye Lengan, his eyes seemed ready to spark flames. He felt that Ye Lengan was indeed his nemesis, ensuring misfortune whenever they crossed paths.
Because of Ye Lengan, he had lost his position as the family head and the proud identity that came with it. He hadn’t even made a move, and Ye Leng’an was already jeopardizing his plans. If Li Yiran gave birth, it would undoubtedly ruin Ruixiang.
Li Yiran felt a surge of joy. Although she couldn’t fathom why Ye Lengan was willing to speak up for her, it was undeniably a positive turn of events for her.
After Ye Lengan spoke, Huangfu Ruiling pondered for a moment before saying, “In that case, let Second Auntieie take care of Li Yiran until the child is safely delivered. I believe Second Auntie can handle this.”
Due to the events involving Li Yiran, Huangfu Jingzhang and the others had lost their appetite.
Huangfu Ruixiang escorted Li Yiran to the second branch. After seeking Nangong Xiyu’s assistance, he returned to the main building.
Although the drama had concluded, the atmosphere in the living room remained somber. The faces of Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying darkened even further upon seeing Huangfu Ruixiang return.
“We’ll take our leave now,” Huangfu Ruiling declared.
“It’s already quite late. Why not have a meal before heading back?” Zhongyu Liuying hastily stood up, attempting to persuade them to stay. There was a hint of flattery in her tone. “It’s a rare occasion for you to be back. Let our family have a good gathering.”
Despite the inopportune timing, she rarely had the chance to see Huangfu Ruiling. Moreover, she dared not venture to the company anymore. Since the last time she brought Ye Wanwan there. Huangfu Ruiling had forbidden her
from visiting the company.
“No, thank you.” Huangfu Ruiling declined directly and then instructed Li San to wheel him away.
Ye Lengan followed Huangfu Ruiling as they left.
Left behind, Zhongyu Liuying stared at Huangfu Ruilings departing figure with resentment. She clenched her teeth, and a displeased gleam flickered in her eyes.
“That unfilial son,” Huangfu Jingzhang cursed without hesitation, ��Why didn’t he die in that kidnapping? If he had died, we wouldn’t have been in this mess now.”
Since relinquishing his position as family head, he rarely ventured outside. He feared encountering old friends and being treated differently. In the past, whenever he went out, he was greeted with praise. Now, when he met former friends, their words were laced with mockery.
Such a stark contrast was unbearable for him. Meanwhile, in his heart, he harbored resentment toward Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan for causing all of this.
Despite his seething hatred, the bitter truth was that he was powerless. He had no title and no authority. Although he still enjoyed a luxurious life, he was incapable of anything else.
“Hubby!” Zhongyu Liuying exclaimed in surprise. Then, she quickly glanced in the direction Huangfu Ruiling had departed. After confirming that he was out of sight, she discreetly breathed a sigh of relief. “In that case, let’s not mention it again in the future. It won’t be good if others hear about it..”
