Chapter 572: An Apology 4
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that, although Ye Wanwan’s apology seemed willingly made, it was still influenced by the circumstances.
“You…” Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s unrelenting words, Ye Wanwan was infuriated. “Who are you? What gives you the right to judge my actions?”
While she was willing to apologize to the head of the Huangfu family due to the Huangfu family’s prestige, this woman, merely attached to Master Huangfu, had no authority to pass judgment on her actions.
Ye Hongxuan’s expression also soured. His daughter had sincerely apologized, yet this woman continued to hold on. Furthermore, the head of the Huangfu family had not spoken yet, so who was this woman to mock his daughter in such a manner?
“Master Huangfu, Wanwan’s apology today is indeed sincere.” Ye Hongxuan didn’t spare a glance at Ye Lengan, keeping his gaze on Huangfu Ruiling.
“Therefore, I hope Master Huangfu can restrain your companion. I will discipline my daughter; there’s no need for others to comment.”
He didn’t hold Ye Lengan in high regard. In his view, he and Huangfu Ling were equals as family heads of significant clans. If Wanwan hadn’t erred, he wouldn’t have initiated the apology. However, that didn’t mean the Ye family was easy to bully.
“This is not my companion.” Huangfu Ruiling raised his head and looked at Ye Hongxuan, a cold light in his eyes. “This is my fiancée, Ye An’an. She can completely represent me.”
As soon as this was revealed, it felt like a bomb had exploded in the venue. Everyone was stunned, caught off guard once again.
They had just accepted the fact that the mysterious patriarch of the Huangfu family was a young man. Now, they suddenly learned that Master Huangfu already had a fiancée. Previously, they had received no news. For a moment, it was difficult to accept this sudden revelation.
“Your surname is also Ye?” Ye Hongxuan’s attention shifted from Huangfu Lings fiancée to the fact that her surname was also Ye.
Indeed, the surname Ye was exceedingly rare in the Hidden World. There was only one prominent family with the Ye surname – the Ye family. Now that the other party claimed the surname Ye, he felt a peculiar sensation.
Moreover, despite the face being covered, upon seeing the exposed features, he experienced a sense of familiarity.
“Why? Are you the only ones who can bear the Ye surname?” Ye Lengan found
it amusing. “This surname isn’t exclusive to you guys. Do you really care if my surname is Ye or not?”
It seemed that in the Hidden World, everyone found her surname quite peculiar. Did it mean that other than the Ye family, no one else had the surname Ye in the Hidden World?
“That’s not what I meant.” Ye Hongxuan shook his head, trying to shake off the strange feeling. “l just didn’t expect Miss Ye to be the fiancée of Master
Huangfu.”
Ye Lengan shrugged, saying nonchalantly, “We’re not married yet. What’s so strange about us having an engagement? Since Master Ye has time, you should take care of your daughter! She’s too arrogant and despotic outside. If she offends a powerful figure, no one can save her.”
Hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, the strange feeling disappeared. Ye Hongxuan’s expression darkened. “Don’t worry, Miss Ye. I will discipline my daughter well. However, Miss Ye, I’m older than you, so I can only say something that an elder should say for the time being. Although you and Master Huangfu are engaged, you’re not the matriarch of the Huangfu family until you’re married. Everything has changed. It’s better not to rely on your status too early and say things you shouldn’t.”
He wasn’t pleased that Ye Lengan had made such comments about his precious daughter. Moreover, in his view, although Ye Wanwan had the temperament of a young lady, she had a good disposition. Describing her as arrogant and despotic was out of place.
To Ye Hongxuan’s words, Ye Lengan wasn’t angered. Instead, she smiled, looking at Huangfu Ruiling beside her. She cleared her throat and said, “Ling, see, even Master Ye says so. Do you think my status as your fiancée is in danger? Do you have any disloyalty towards me?”
Huangfu Ruiling found it amusing at Ye Lengan’s completely different demeanor. However, he also cooperated and said, “An’an, you don’t have to believe Master Ye’s words. Just listen to him. The matters of our Huangfu family are not something Master Ye can interfere with. Also, as long as you’re willing, we can get married at any time.”
These words were like slaps to Ye Hongxuan’s face, darkening his expression even more. In the end, he only bid farewell and hastily left with Ye Wanwan.
With a dark face, Ye Hongxuan brought Ye Wanwan back to their seats. From his expression, it was evident that he was still angry.
“Father, is that person really the patriarch of the Huangfu family?”
After taking a seat, Ye Wanwan finally couldn’t help but ask, “He looks so young. Is he really the head of such a big family?”
She couldn’t be blamed for having such suspicions. This was because those who could become the family heads were generally highly respected. That person looked so young. Would the elders of the Huangfu family be convinced?
“He is indeed the patriarch of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Ling.” Ye Hongxuan nodded and said, “If I hadn’t met him by chance before, I wouldn’t have believed that such a young person would be the head of a large family clan. Moreover, Huangfu Lings methods are extraordinary. The entire
Huangfu family is under his control, and all the elders in the family obey him.
It can be said that he has the highest degree of control over the Huangfu family in history.”
This was something that even he could not do. Although he was the Ye family’s patriarch, the few elders of the Ye family did not respect him as much as they appeared on the surface. They often made things difficult for him in the dark. He knew very well that there were many people in the family who coveted his position as the family head. Even his younger brother was secretly watching him, hoping that he would make a mistake and drag him down from the position of the family head..
