Chapter 661: Leaving in Anger
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Huangfu Ruiling’s straightforward words left Ye Hongxuan momentarily stunned, but he quickly regained his composure. “Master Huangfu, what do you mean?” he asked.
He hadn’t expected Huangfu Ruiling to skip any inquiries and directly make such statements. This sudden turn of events left him unsure whether to proceed with the words he had initially planned.
Huangfu Ruiling calmly responded, “The reason you brought up this matter now is precisely for this, isn’t it?”
This single sentence made Ye Hongxuan’s expression particularly unpleasant. His face darkened, and his tone became incensed. “Master Huangfu, if you wish to protect your family, just say so. There’s no need to humiliate us here.”
If it weren’t for Wanwan today, he would have left already. If today’s issue remained unresolved and Wanwan couldn’t secure forgiveness from the Huangfu family, it would be a lasting stain on her reputation. However, if she did gain the Huangfu family’s forgiveness, with the victims appeased, outsiders would have no grounds for criticism.
“Master Ye, I doubt you fully understand the situation!” Ye Leng’an interjected.
“Who agreed to the marriage between Ye Wanwan and Huangfu Ruiling? Huangfu Ruiling wasn’t even aware of Ye Wanwan’s existence. Ye Wanwan recklessly came over, directly meddling in Huangfu Ruiling’s relationship, and even resorted to violence. Is this the upbringing of your Ye family’s daughter?”
“It’s impossible!” Lian Mengzhu immediately denied, “Wanwan is not that kind of person. Moreover, for Wanwan to take an interest in Huangfu Ruiling is his honor. What more could he ask for?”
Her disdain for Huangfu Ruiling led her to believe that if her daughter chose him, it must be a miracle. However, Huangfu Ruiling not only lacked gratitude but also brought his girlfriend to humiliate Wanwan. This was intolerable.
Upon hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but chuckle. “Mrs. Ye, your daughter is an angel in your eyes. However, others aren’t obligated to treat her like you do! Do you even know who Huangfu Ruiling’s girlfriend is? Her name is Ye Lengan, and she is…”
“Stop it.” Ye Wanwan urgently interrupted, her voice carrying a hint of sharpness. “Let’s not discuss this further. I don’t plan to pursue it.”
She had a premonition that if this continued, Ye Leng’an’s identity might be exposed. She didn’t know what Ye An t an would say next, but even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, she couldn’t let Ye An t an reveal it.
Most importantly, she hadn’t forgotten that Ye An t an still had Lian Zixin’s bracelet. She couldn’t take the risk now because she didn’t know what the consequences would be.
“Wanwan!” Ye Hongxuan looked at Ye Wanwan with a warning in his eyes. “Do you know what you’re saying?”
He hadn’t expected that the one undermining him would be his daughter, whom he had been wholeheartedly protecting. Could Wanwan not see that he was bringing this up to help her secure forgiveness from the Huangfu family?
“Father, let’s drop the matter,” Ye Wanwan said, avoiding his gaze. “This matter is already in the past, and 1 don’t want to bring it up again.”
“Wanwan, you…” Ye Hongxuan looked at Ye Wanwan, his eyes filled with resentment.
Earlier, Ye Wanwan had been dwelling on this matter. However, she suddenly decided not to pursue it. In his view, there was only one possibility. Wanwan still had a lingering attachment to Huangfu Ruiling.
The thought of this angered him, and he wished to step forward and give Ye Wanwan slaps to wake her up.
Unaware that Ye Hongxuan had misunderstood her intentions, Ye Wanwan continued to evade, fearing that Ye Hongxuan would see through her.
Little did she know, her actions further solidified Ye Hongxuan’s suspicions.
“Wanwan, are you confused?” Lian Mengzhu pulled Ye Wanwan aside, furrowing her brows and reproaching her. “Your father is seeking justice.
What are you saying?”
“l am not,” Ye Wanwan reluctantly replied. “The relationship between a man and a woman is inherently a matter of mutual consent. Besides, Huangfu
Ruiling and I don’t have any concrete commitments. Let’s not dwell on this.”
If possible, she wanted Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an to pay the price.
However, if her parents learned Ye Leng’an’s true identity, she couldn’t bear the consequences. Thus, after careful consideration, she could only say this.
Ye Lengan had been observing coldly. Seeing Ye Wanwan doing her best to avoid the issue, she couldn’t help but wear a sardonic smile.
She wasn’t surprised by Ye Wanwan’s choice. After all, between revenge on Huangfu Ruiling and concealing her identity, Ye Wanwan could only continue to hide her true self.
After hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, Ye Hongxuan could no longer contain his anger. He looked at Ye Wanwan and declared, “Very well. Since you have your own ideas, you can decide for yourself. I won’t interfere in your matters anymore.”
Today, he swallowed his pride so that Ye Wanwan could obtain forgiveness from Huangfu Ling. This would minimize the impact of the incident and silence the family elders. However, while he was making an effort, his daughter was actively sabotaging him. Who was he doing this for?
Thinking of this, his anger surged, and he didn’t even spare a glance for Ye Wanwan before leaving.
Watching Ye Hongxuan depart without a word, Lian Mengzhu glanced at Ye Wanwan, who still stood in the same spot. Her face was filled with disappointment.
Finally, she nodded at Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, saying, “Master
Huangfu, Miss Ye, sorry for the disturbance today. We have other matters to attend to, so we’ll take our leave.’
These were just lofty words. In reality, everyone present knew the reason for their departure.
After saying that, Lian Mengzhu pulled Ye Wanwan away.
Ye Wanwan mechanically followed Lian Mengzhu as they left. She continued to ponder how she would explain this to her parents when they returned. She knew very well that today’s events had genuinely angered her father. If she didn’t handle it well, her father would be deeply disappointed in her in the future..
