Chapter 701: Their Biological Daughter
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the reception hall of the Ye family at night, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan
were seated inside, sipping tea, with no servants around.
However, they appeared unusually relaxed, as if they were in their own home, completely devoid of any restraint.
Surveying the surroundings, Ye Lengan found it intriguing. “Ling, you’ve probably never experienced this kind of treatment before! ”
As the head of the Huangfu family, if Huangfu Ruiling came to the Ye family, he wouldn’t be in the side hall; he would definitely be in the main hall. And the least accompanying him would be the Ye family’s steward waiting to take orders, not the current situation where they were left alone here.
Nevertheless, the two of them seemed unperturbed, adapting effortlessly to the environment.
“I anticipated this,” Huangfu Ruiling said casually. “Let’s take our time here! Due to the matter of Ye Wanwan, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu probably have some opinions about us.”
Ye Lengan nodded in agreement. “In their eyes, we are the ones who humiliated their biological daughter!”
Having prepared mentally before coming to the Ye family, they had no complaints, even facing such cold treatment.
Subsequently, they engaged in continuous conversation, showing no signs of boredom.
After an uncertain amount of time, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu walked in leisurely. Their faces weren’t pleasant, and their movements were sluggish as if they hadn’t noticed Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan waiting in the side hall.
Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan remained seated without any movement.
Seeing their impolite behavior, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s already displeased expressions darkened further. They took their seats at the main table.
Huangfu Ruiling sat beside Ye Lengan, holding her hand and playing with it. Even as Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu entered, he didn’t cease his actions.
Witnessing this, Ye Hongxuan!s expression turned even darker. He spoke impatiently, “Huangfu Ruiling, you dare to come here, Are you challenging the Ye family?”
During the conversation, Ye Hongxuan struggled to control his emotions and forcefully slammed the table.
Although he knew that Ye Wanwan was also responsible for the incident, in his eyes, Huangfu Ruiling was equally at fault. Due to previous events, they already held a strongly negative opinion of Huangfu Ruiling.
Unexpectedly, Huangfu Ruiling dared to visit today and to make matters worse, he brought Ye Lengan along. It felt like a direct insult to the Ye family, and not immediately kicking the two of them out was considered a display of remarkable restraint.
Lian Mengzhu’s expression was equally unfavorable, filled with hostility when looking at Huangfu Ruiling.
However, for some unknown reason, when she turned her gaze to the girl beside Huangfu Ruiling, she couldn’t summon any feelings of disgust.
She knew the girl was Huangfu Ruilings girlfriend – Ye Lengan. Earlier, she had heard Ye Wanwan mention Ye Lengan and was aware that this girl had once humiliated Ye Wanwan. Logically, she should despise her.
Yet, inexplicably, she couldn’t harbor any aversion towards her. Moreover, when she saw Ye Lengan, she felt an unexpectedly warm and familiar sensation.
In contrast to Ye Hongxuan’s demeanor, Huangfu Ruiling appeared much calmer, almost indifferent. He raised his head, looked at Ye Hongxuan, and said, “Master Ye, 1 came here today to discuss something with you regarding your biological daughter.”
“Do you still have the nerve to mention Wanwan here!” Ye Hongxuan couldn’t contain the anger unleashed by Huangfu Ruilings words. “Your Huangfu family is simply too audacious. Wanwan was utterly blind to have fallen for you back then.”
He genuinely wished he could kill the man before him right now.
Ignoring the atmosphere, Ye Lengan calmly remarked, “Master Ye, there’s no need to be so angry. We never claimed it was about Ye Wanwan!”
“Shut up!” Ye Hongxuan directed his anger at Ye Lengan. “Do you have the right to speak here?”
He expressed strong dissatisfaction with Huangfu Ruilings girlfriend, unable to fathom how Ye Lengan could compare to Wanwan. Moreover, Ye Lengan had previously humiliated Wanwan.
Ye Lengan was unfazed by Ye Hongxuan’s attitude.
On the other hand, Lian Mengzhu sensed something amiss. “What do you mean? Weren’t you just talking about Wanwan?”
For an inexplicable reason, she felt a sense of panic, as if something beyond her control was about to happen. Although she didn’t desire such an uncontrollable change, there was a feeling urging her to know. Otherwise, she might regret it.
Huangfu Ruiling raised his head, addressing Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu, and said calmly, “l never said Ye Wanwan is your daughter.”
This statement was like thunder, leaving Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu stunned.
Ye Hongxuan couldn’t believe it, standing up immediately. He glared at Huangfu Ruiling, teeth gritted, and said, “Huangfu Ruiling, what do you mean?”
Lian Mengzhu lost her composure, accidentally knocking over a teacup in her excitement.
The teacup crashed to the ground with a clear sound, but she paid it no mind. Standing up, she opened her mouth to speak, but it felt as if her throat was blocked, rendering her speechless.
Huangfu Ruiling appeared much calmer than Ye Hongxuan and his wife. He stated, “Ye Wanwan is not your biological daughter. Your biological daughter was swapped by Lian Zixin. Ye Wanwan is Lian Zixin’s child.”
“Impossible,” Lian Mengzhu instinctively refuted. “Zixin isn’t that kind of person. She would never do such a thing. Besides…”
At this point, Lian Mengzhu’s voice abruptly stopped. She seemed to have realized something, her face draining of color, turning completely pale..
