Ye Hongxuan was momentarily stunned, and then a surge of anger propelled him straight toward Huangfu Ruiling. “Huangfu Ling, don’t go too far. Even if our Ye family can’t match your Huangfu family, we won’t allow such bullying. You injured my daughter first, and now you want to wrongly accuse her.”
Before Huangfu Ruiling could respond, Ye Lengan stepped forward. “Master
Ye, why such anger? If you truly don’t believe that Ye Wanwan would resort to foul play, you should be more inclined to help clear her name, shouldn’t you?”
“It’s not your place to interfere in our matters,” Lian Mengzhu retorted sharply. “Miss Ye, even though you’re the fiancée of Master Huangfu, you’re not yet married. You have no right to speak on matters between the two families.’
Previously, Lian Mengzhu had felt an unexplained warmth towards Ye An’an.
Now, in the presence of her injured daughter, that warmth seemed fragile. With her daughter harmed and the other party showing no remorse but instead being confrontational, it was something Lian Mengzhu couldn’t tolerate.
Ye Lengan remained calm, and Huangfu Ruilings sharp gaze shifted to Lian Mengzhu, emanating a chilling aura. “Mrs. Ye, An’an is my fiancée, and she can represent me fully. In the Huangfu family, her status is on par with mine. Therefore, her words carry my authority.”
Though Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were unaware, Huangfu Ruiling understood it clearly. Lian Mengzhu was An’an’s biological mother, yet she was now rebuking An’an for an imposter. An’an might not mind, but he couldn’t tolerate any injustice towards her. Even if Aryan didn’t have strong desires for her parents, he couldn’t let her suffer due to the imposter Ye Wanwan.
Huangfu Lings words prompted a reassessment of Ye An’an by those present. While they had been curious about Huangfu Ling’s sudden fiancée before, they hadn’t paid much attention. But now, things were different.
Even after marriage, the roles of the matriarch and the patriarch in a family weren’t considered equal. In the cultivation world, there was still an underlying notion of male superiority. However, Huangtu Lings words had unmistakably defined Ye Leng’an’s status in the Huangfu family. This made everyone regard Ye An’an, the unexpected fiancée, with newfound respect.
Most significantly, the Huangfu family’s elders showed no dissent; their faces displayed no signs of discontent. It was evident they supported Huangfu Lings words.
Lian Mengzhu gazed at Ye Lengan with a complex expression. “Miss Ye, even if you can represent the Huangfu family, you don’t have the right to falsely accuse my daughter here. Master Huangfu violated the rules and injured my daughter during the competition. Our Ye family won’t simply let this matter slide.’
“Mrs. Ye, perhaps there’s an issue with your hearing!” Ye Lengan sneered. “Haven’t we made ourselves clear enough? Ye Wanwan broke the rules and employed tactics to win this competition. Is it wrong for us to intervene?”
“This is pure nonsense,” Lian Mengzhu immediately spoke up to defend her daughter. “Is it only considered normal when your Huangfu family wins? If our Ye family emerges victorious, does that automatically mean we resorted to foul play?”
Ye Hongxuan’s expression darkened. He directed his gaze straight at Huangfu Ruiling. “Master Huangfu, you must explain this matter. Otherwise, we won’t
let it rest.’
The other family heads remained silent in the face of this situation, observing the developments. Nevertheless, they sought clarity on what transpired.
“Master Huangfu, since you claim that Ye An’an is engaging in underhanded tactics, do you have any evidence?” Master Zhongyu spoke up.. “Without evidence, I’m afraid we won’t be convinced!”
