“How can it have nothing to do with you?” Li Yiran’s voice quivered with urgency. “This child…”
She nearly revealed that this child was born because of Ye Leng’an’s intervention, but before she could finish her sentence, Ye Leng’an cut her off.
“How could it possibly be related to me?” Ye Leng’an countered with a smile. “The child’s biological parents are here. I’m just an outsider. Why would I meddle in your affairs? Whatever decisions you make, it has nothing to do with me.”
Li Yiran’s heart sank at Ye Leng’an’s indifferent demeanor.
If even Ye Leng’an wouldn’t stand by her side, then she truly had no recourse. No, she couldn’t accept this.
“Miss Ye, I…” Li Yiran tried to speak again, only to be interrupted once more.
But this time, it wasn’t Ye Leng’an who cut her off.
“Li Yiran, that’s enough!” Zhongyu Liuying’s voice was stern. “Ye Leng’an has made it clear she doesn’t want to be involved. Why are you dragging her into this? And do you dare to ignore all the elders here?”
Previously, Li Yiran had hoped to elevate herself to suppress Zhong Yating. But now it seemed, Li Yiran wasn’t worth much. She clearly knew she hated Ye Leng’an, yet now she was trying to involve Ye Leng’an in this matter. Did Li Yiran think Ye Leng’an’s words carried more weight in the Huangfu family?
“I… I didn’t…” Li Yiran stammered, her voice faltering.
Seeing the grim expressions of Zhongyu Liuying and Huangfu Jingzhang, she realized her grave error. Not only had she failed to gain Ye Leng’an’s support, but she also offended Zhongyu Liuying and Huangfu Jingzhang.
“This matter is settled.” Huangfu Jingzhang’s decision was final. “From now on, Haohao belongs to Ruixiang and Yating.”
“No, it’s not possible.” Li Yiran stood abruptly, then dropped to her knees. “Haohao is my son. I won’t allow anyone to take him away.”
Her tears fell freely, evoking pity from everyone, including Huangfu Ruixiang. For a moment, he regretted his decision.
Yet, when he glanced at Zhong Yating’s pale face, his resolve solidified.
Originally his suggestion, Zhong Yating had initially opposed it, advocating against separating the mother and child. However, he saw Zhong Yating’s desire to be a mother, hence his insistence.
If he went back on his word now, it would hurt Zhong Yating.
Yating had been injured while trying to save his father. She deserved this. As for Yiran, she could have children in the future.
“Yiran, stop being stubborn,” Huangfu Ruixiang said, suppressing his emotions. “Don’t worry, it’s only this once. In the future, any child you have can be raised under your name. I’ll also transfer a villa to you. Just… stop causing a scene.”
Whether Li Yiran agreed or not, the decision was final. As for compensation, Li Yiran deserved it.
Hearing Huangfu Ruixiang’s words, Li Yiran’s heart turned to ashes.
This might be her only chance to have a child in this lifetime!
But she couldn’t voice it. She had concealed her health condition to stay by Huangfu Ruixiang’s side. If it were revealed now, she might lose her child and be cast out.
Li Yiran looked up and saw Zhong Yating’s smug smile as if silently taunting her. At that moment, Li Yiran’s rationality snapped.
She strode to Zhong Yating, pointing accusingly. “Zhong Yating, you wretch. Unable to bear a child, you want to steal mine, don’t you? Let me tell you, it’s just a dream. I won’t let you have my child.”
Her outburst shocked everyone.
Normally gentle, Li Yiran’s sudden hysteria was unexpected. Was it the shock or merely her excellent acting?
Only Zhong Yating’s eyes gleamed with satisfaction.
“Yiran, that’s enough.” Huangfu Ruixiang’s tone was firm. “Haohao is my child too, and I have the right to decide. Don’t target Yating. This is my decision, not hers.”
Initially, he felt some pity for Li Yiran, but her tantrum erased any guilt.
He believed his decision was best. A woman who couldn’t control her emotions couldn’t be a good mother.
Yating would now have Haohao as her only child, and she would cherish him.
Li Yiran simply couldn’t believe her ears. However, before she could say anything more, a cold voice rang out.
“Li Yiran, it seems you’re quite dissatisfied with the decisions made by us elders!” Huangfu Jingzhang looked coldly at the raging Li Yiran and said coldly, “If you’re truly so dissatisfied, then leave! As for Haohao, he is a child of the Huangfu family, so we have the authority to make decisions. If you’re not satisfied, then get out.”
At this point, he felt there was no need to reason further with Li Yiran. After all, it seemed she was beyond reasoning.
His words instantly froze Li Yiran in place. She stood there, dazed, as if her soul had departed. She wanted to leave with dignity, but she didn’t know how to survive outside the Huangfu family. Even if she left, she couldn’t take her child. The outcome would be worse.
In the end, Li Yiran fell silent. Perhaps, she had accepted her fate.
With things having reached this point, it could be considered a conclusion.
This time, the greatest winner was undoubtedly Zhong Yating. Without saying a word, she emerged victorious.
