Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“Then, have you won now?” Ye Hongxuan, furious, sneered. “No, not only did you not win, but you were also exposed on the spot. Our Ye family has lost face in front of all the other families. How will the other families view us now? Nioreover, do you really think your little tricks can deceive everyone? Each person present is an old fox! Aren’t you asking for humiliation by playing tricks in front of them?”
Ye Wanwan couldn’t refute the questions. If she had l,von, she could still explain her actions. However, her actions had been exposed on the spot. Now, not only had she lost the competition, but she had also tarnished the family’s reputation.
Seeing Ye Wanwan’s expression, Lian Mengzhu felt sorry for her. She spoke up from the side, “Hongxuan, Wanwan knows her mistake now. Please forgive her this time! She’s still injured. If there’s anything, why don’t we continue after she’s better?”
“She deserved those injuries,” Ye Hongxuan said mercilessly. “If she hadn’t used those underhanded methods, how could she have been injured by Huangfu Ling?”
Listening to Ye Hongxuan’s words of reproach, Ye Wanwan lowered her head, but she did not feel regret or guilt. She only felt that this failure was because she was too unlucky. If she had done it more discreetly and not been discovered, she would have already won this competition and become an admired figure.
Even her father would only praise her now, not blame her.
Of course, she would never say these words out loud. She knew very well that if she really said that, her father would only be angrier.
Even though he was very angry, she was still his daughter after all. Furthermore, Ye Wanwan was still seriously injured, so when he saw her lowering her head, the anger in his heart dissipated a little.
As Ye Hongxuan’s bedmate, Lian Mengzhu naturally noticed his change. She quickly pulled Ye Wanwan’s hand and began signaling to her with her eyes. ‘Wanwan, why don’t you apologize quickly? This time, you did make a mistake.”
After hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words, Ye Wanwan understood and immediately cried out, “Father, this time it’s all my fault. I promise that this will never happen again.”
Looking at Ye Wanwan’s pitiful appearance, Ye Hongxuan, who was originally filled with anger, slowly began to calm down. However, his tone was still not very good. “What about the future? 1 don’t even know how to resolve today’s matter. The elders will definitely have a lot of opinions now.”
“Hongxuan, this matter is indeed Wanwan’s fault,” Lian Mengzhu helped put in a good word for her. “However, she did this to win and get the priority to mine the spirit stone mine for our family. Her original intention was good, but the method was wrong.”
Ye Hongxuan was silent. After a long while, he sighed and shook his head. He looked at Ye Wanwan and said, “Wanwan, do you know how big of a mess you’ve caused today? You didn’t just embarrass the family today; you also harmed yourself! ”
“Hongxuan, what do you mean?” Lian Mengzhu couldn’t help but frown. “This has a huge impact on Wanwan, right?”
When Ye Wanwan heard this, she also raised her head abruptly. When she looked at Ye Hongxuan, her eyes were filled with nervousness and anxiety. “I’m talking about Wanwan and Murong Xingrui,” Ye Hongxuan continued. “l originally planned to discuss the matter between the two of them with Murong Jingming after the Family Competition. However, now that such a thing has happened, I’m afraid that this matter will change.”
In the Hidden World, Murong Xingrui could definitely be considered one of the top candidates for a son-in-law. Countless unmarried girls were eyeing him. He was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate as Wanwan’s husband. However, now that such a thing had happened, with Wanwan being publicly exposed for using underhanded methods to try to win, Murong Jingmings thoughts remained unknown.
After hearing Ye Hongxuan’s words, Lian Mengzhu was a little anxious.. She immediately stretched out her hand and pulled Ye Hongxuan’s hand, saying nervously, “You mean that the Murong family might go back on their word,
