“Miss Ye, we just want to take a look at your bag.” Nangong Xuyao took a tough stance. “Since you’re innocent, then please stop being evasive. Prove it with your actions. If you’re still unwilling to cooperate, then we can only take tough measures.”
He didn’t know why Xiyuan felt that Ye Leng’an stole the necklace, but he thought that there must be a reason. Moreover, if Ye Leng’an was innocent, why did she keep rejecting the search?
“So, you want to search my bag forcibly.”
If it were other people, they would have already taken out their own bags. Unfortunately, Ye Leng’an was the kind of person who was unmoved by force or persuasion. “That depends on whether you have the ability or not.”
Nangong Xuyao couldn’t help but narrow his eyes when hearing her provocative remark. He immediately called bodyguards in. It was not suitable for him to do it himself on such an occasion.
Soon, two bodyguards arrived in front of Ye Leng’an. They were about to snatch Ye Leng’an’s bag.
However, to everyone’s surprise, when one of the bodyguards just extended his hand towards Ye Leng’an, a knife shot directly at his palm and pierced through it. A bloody hole instantly appeared in his palm, and blood kept flowing down.
The bodyguard could not help but hold his hand. He gritted his teeth and held back the agonized cry that was about to come out of his mouth.
At the same time, a magnetic and clear voice rose up, which excited everyone present.
“Who dares to touch her?”
This casual question was filled with seriousness even though it was said in a flat tone. Moreover, people couldn’t help but surrender themselves when hearing it.
As the voice rang out, a man in a wheelchair appeared in the banquet hall, pushed by another bodyguard, slowly moving toward the direction of the crowd.
Although the man was sitting in a wheelchair, it did not affect his outstanding
appearance and noble aura. His clean and fair face looked cold and handsome. His deep black eyes had a mesmerizing luster. His thick eyebrows, tall nose, and beautiful lips all exuded elegance and nobility. He was wearing a suit that fit him perfectly, and it made him look like an emperor.
The person who came was naturally Huangfu Ruiling. His wheelchair quickly stopped beside Ye Leng’an.
Ye Xiyuan couldn’t help but frown when she saw who it was. She had seen this man a few times before. Although he looked outstanding, he was definitely not in her pool of potential mates. No matter how outstanding a person was, as long as he was in a wheelchair, she would never consider him.
She did not expect this man to come to her party today. Presumably, he was here for Ye Leng’an! She really didn’t know what was so good about Ye Leng’an that he cared so much about her.
No one noticed that the moment Huangfu Ruiling appeared, Nangong Xuyao’s pupils contracted. He couldn’t hide the surprise on his face. Obviously, he did not expect to meet Huangfu Ruiling on such an occasion.
“Who are you?” Ye Li didn’t know Huangfu Ruiling, so when he saw a stranger appear, he was naturally very unhappy. “Who let you in? I don’t think we sent you an invitation! Also, did you injure that bodyguard? How did you dare to hurt people here?”
He asked in an aggressive tone.
Although the man in front of him didn’t look like an ordinary person, he was obviously on Ye Leng’an’s side, so he was an enemy. Moreover, no matter how powerful that man was, he was just a cripple. Now he had the support of the Nangong family’s young master, he naturally wouldn’t be afraid of a person sitting in a wheelchair.
“Why? I can’t hurt this bodyguard?” Huangfu Ruiling ignored Ye Li and looked at Nangong Xuyao. “Nangong Xuyao, do you have the same opinion?”
The familiarity and matter-of-fact in his tone stunned everyone present. No one had expected that this man who suddenly showed up was acquainted with Young Master Nangong. Moreover, he directly addressed him by his name.
Nangong Xuyao didn’t seem to be angry. Instead, his face grew weighty.
“Young Master Huangfu, that’s a bit too strong.” Nangong Xuyao quickly said,
“He’s just a bodyguard. It’s fine if you teach him a lesson. He had offended
Young Master Huangfu, so he naturally had to pay the price.”
He did not expect to meet Huangfu Ruiling here. The HuangFu family was ranked first among the aristocratic families, and their strength was above the Nangong family. Moreover, unlike the Nangong family, although Huangfu Ruiling was the young master of the Huangfu family, he was the person in power. He was called the Young Master, but in fact, he had the power of the head of the family. Compared to Huangfu Ruiling, Nangong Xuyao’s current strength was far inferior.
When the people present heard the surname Huangfu, their eyes immediately widened. One had to know that it was shocking enough to see the young master of the Nangong family here. Now, even people from the number one aristocratic family, the Huangfu family, had come. Moreover, according to the way Young Master Nangong addressed him, it seemed that this man was the vounz master of the Huangfu family.
Geez! They were only here to attend a birthday party today, but they met two people they had almost never had the chance to meet in their entire lives.
However, it was obvious that Young Master Huangfu was not here to attend Ye
Xiyuan’s birthday banquet. Instead, it seemed like he was here to support Ye Leng’ an.
Speaking of which, who would have thought that Ye Leng’an had such an opportunity? People thought that after she was chased out of the Ye family, she would have no chance of entering the upper-class society. To their surprise, after leaving the Ye family, she became a social climber and got to know the young master of the Nangong family.
This time, the Ye family would regret it.
“I just came in and saw Young Master Nangong’s bodyguards try to forcibly search the bag of my family!” Huangfu Ruiling said in a flat tone, but people tremble with cold after hearing that. “What mistake did she make? Why was she treated like this?”
Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She really wanted to retort. Who was his family? However, when she remembered that her name was still on his household register and he was still her guardian, she decided that she’d better be quiet..
