Chapter 152: Goddaughter
Hearing Ye Leng'an mention the medical expenses, Huangfu Ruiling couldn't help but chuckle. He didn't expect that in such a situation, Ye Leng'an's first thought was not that Ye Xiyuan had snatched her credit, but that he wanted to find Nangong Xuyao to get back the medical expenses.
It can be seen that this so-called life-saving grace does not have any weight in Ye Leng'an's heart.
"What's so funny?" Hearing the chuckle coming from beside him, Ye Leng'an couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Do you know that I spent a lot of effort in order to get to that Nangong Xuyao." Moreover, a Nine-Turn Soul Restoration Pill was also wasted. That Nine-Turn Soul Restoration Pill is a high-grade elixir, and even if you want to refine it now, it's not so easy. ”
This is absolutely true, the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill is a high-grade elixir, and it is not easy to make in the first place. In addition, spiritual energy is scarce in this world now, and many spiritual plants cannot be found. If you want to make it, it's even more difficult. The one she used to save Nangong Xuyao before was still the inventory in her Space Cave Mansion!
Now that Nangong Xuyao is alive and kicking, it is difficult for her to ask for medical expenses.
"Okay, I know." Huangfu Ruiling's tone carried a hint of pampering, "Then I'll ask someone to send him a list of medical expenses tomorrow." So how much are you going to ask him for medical expenses? ”
After thinking about it, Ye Leng'an finally spoke, "Then let's have a billion!" I'm already a very conscientious price. ”
"Okay." Huangfu Ruiling bowed, "Tomorrow I will ask Li San to draw up a bill and send it to Nangong Xuyao." ”
"That's right." Ye Leng'an seemed to suddenly remember something, she turned her backhand, and then there was an extra bullet shell in her hand, and handed it to Huangfu Ruiling, "Send this with the bill!" ”
After saving Nangong Xuyao, she didn't know why, so the ghost envoy left the bullet casing. After that, I put it in the space, and I forgot about it after a long time. Unexpectedly, it will come in handy now.
Huangfu Ruiling took the bullet casing handed over by Ye Leng'an, and then put it away, without asking where the shell came from.
For Ye Leng'an to take out something out of thin air from time to time, he is no stranger now. He knew that Ye Leng'an had a secret, but he didn't ask about it.
In the manor of the Nangong family——
In the guest room on the second floor, the family doctor of the Nangong family was helping Ye Xiyuan clean his wounds.
Ye Xiyuan was sitting on the bed, and her originally white arms were covered with scars at the moment, which looked shocking. She frowned, probably because of the pain of the wound. However, he did not open his mouth to cry out for pain.
However, one thing is lucky, that is, although the wounds are many and some deep, they do not require stitches, so just clean them up and then apply medicine to bandage them.
Although the wound on his arm was very painful, Ye Xiyuan's heart was very satisfied at this moment. Because today her task was finally completed, and she was rewarded by the system. Although she was injured, she had already redeemed the scar removal cream from the system, and when the wound was healed, as long as she applied the scar removal cream, then there would be no scars left.
Tonight's accident wasn't an accident, but she asked the system to help break the chandelier.
After this incident, she became Murong Yanshu's life-saving benefactor tonight. In this way, she can not only get Murong Yanshu's favor, but also be able to complete tonight's task. Moreover, the most important thing is that even if her pretending to be Nangong Xuyao's life-saving benefactor is revealed, she will have a way to escape.
So, tonight's injury is really worth it.
Nangong Xuyao on the side watched Ye Xiyuan name the injury, but he pretended to be strong, and his eyes were full of distress. At the same time, his mood is also a little complicated.
Tonight, because of Huangfu Ruiling's words, he actually had doubts about Ye Xiyuan in his heart, and he planned to find someone to investigate again tomorrow.
However, now seeing Ye Xiyuan like this, he did not hesitate to save his mother. He knew that Ye Xiyuan really liked him, so he didn't hesitate to save people like this. Moreover, it can also be seen that Hee Won is really a good girl. Would such a girl really lie to him?
So, forget about that thing! Maybe Huangfu Ruiling just said this because he was angry that he treated Ye Leng'an like this, just to shake his heart.
Soon, the doctor had already taken care of the wound on Ye Xiyuan's arm, and then prescribed medicine and explained some precautions before leaving.
Not long after the doctor left, Murong Yanshu also came in.
Just now, she went to investigate today's accident. Although I feel that today's matter cannot be calculated by Ye Xiyuan at all. However, as the head of the Nangong family, she is used to investigating everything clearly, so that she can feel at ease.
After some investigation, she realized that today's incident was indeed an accident. The place where the chandelier was broken should be because the maid was negligent in maintenance and did not notice it, so it was aged and broken. And Ye Xiyuan saved her at that time, which was also an accident, and there was no calculation.
"Auntie."
Seeing Murong Yanshu enter the door, Ye Xiyuan was about to stand up. It's just that because my arm is still wrapped in gauze, my movements are not very smooth, and I almost fell down.
"Be careful."
Nangong Xuyao took a step forward and immediately supported Ye Xiyuan, which prevented Ye Xiyuan from falling and causing secondary injury.
"Sit down first." Murong Yanshu took a step forward and said in a gentle tone, "You're still injured!" Don't just move around, or it will be bad if the wound is cracked. ”
"Auntie, I'm fine, but it's all skin trauma." Ye Xiyuan sat down with a shy smile on her face, "Actually, you really don't have to be so nervous, I don't have anything to do." ”
Murong Yanshu sat down beside Ye Xiyuan, then took her hand, and said with gratitude in her tone, "Xiyuan, Auntie really wants to thank you today, if you hadn't saved me, maybe I would have been lying in the hospital now." ”
Now that I think about it, just now, it was too dangerous. The chandelier fell from the top of her head, and if it hit her, it would really be immortal and seriously injured. Therefore, this time, Ye Xiyuan really saved her life.
"Auntie, you are really too polite." Ye Xiyuan shook her head and said softly, "I believe that in such a situation, no matter who it is, it is impossible to stand idly by." ”
"Hee Won, you're a good boy." Murong Yanshu looked at Ye Xiyuan and continued to speak, "You first saved Xu Yao, and now you saved me, it seems that you are really destined for our family." So, Auntie has an idea, I don't know if you agree with it. ”
Hearing Murong Yanshu's words, Ye Xiyuan was overjoyed, she lowered her head, her cheeks were all red, and she whispered, "Auntie, please speak." ”
Although she felt that it was a little impossible, she still had something to look forward to.
"Xiyuan, for so many years, I have only given birth to one child, Xu Yao, in fact, I have always wanted a daughter."
As she spoke, there was a hint of regret in Murong Yanshu's tone, "It's a pity that I haven't been able to get my wish." Seeing you today, my aunt really likes you. In addition, you have such a deep fate with our family, so my aunt wants to recognize you as her goddaughter. From now on, you and Xu Yao will be brother and sister. I don't know if you'd like to? ”
Although Ye Xiyuan saved her today, she also changed her opinion of Ye Xiyuan and knew that this was a good girl. However, even so, it is impossible for her to let her son be with the other party.
Ye Xiyuan's birth doomed her to become the head of the Nangong family. Even if Ye Xiyuan is her life-saving benefactor now, she has the same idea. This is an immutable fact.
With Murong Yanshu's words, Ye Xiyuan's face slowly turned pale. She didn't expect Murong Yanshu to make such a decision at all. Let her and Nangong Xuyao become brother and sister, is this to forever eliminate the possibility of her marrying Nangong Xuyao?
The favorability judged by the system is absolutely impossible to be wrong. Therefore, Murong Yanshu liked her in her heart, but she still didn't want her to be with Nangong Xuyao.
"Mother, what are you talking about?" Nangong Xuyao obviously didn't expect Murong Yanshu to suddenly make such a decision, "People Xiyuan have their own parents. ”
"I'm not trying to snatch their daughter, I'm just going to recognize a goddaughter." Murong Yanshu took Ye Xiyuan's hand and continued to speak with a smile, "Xiyuan, say it yourself, are you willing to be my goddaughter?" ”
She could naturally see the little ambiguity between her son and Ye Xiyuan. What she has to do today is to directly cut off the possibility of these two people. Ye Xiyuan just saved her, this is the best decision.
"Auntie, I-" Raising her head and looking at Murong Yanshu, Ye Xiyuan was in a dilemma at the moment.
If you want to say that you are unwilling, then you will definitely offend Murong Yanshu. She had just gained Murong Yanshu's favorability, but she didn't want to lose it like this. However, if she agreed, then she really wouldn't have any possibility with Nangong Xuyao in the future. There is no way to marry into the Nangong family, and she will be trampled under the feet of Ye Leng'an forever.
"Mother, don't persecute Hee Won." Nangong Xuyao stood up directly and said, "I don't believe it, you can't see my thoughts." Aren't you doing this now to destroy my mind? ”
Nangong Xuyao's words made the smile on Murong Yanshu's face disappear immediately, she glanced at Nangong Xuyao coldly, with a warning in her tone, "Xuyao, I'm asking Xiyuan now, not you, so you don't need to speak here for her." Also, you are the young master of the Nangong family, so I hope you think carefully about whether you can say it before you say every word. ”
After speaking, she turned her head and looked at Ye Xiyuan, with a hint of sharpness in her eyes, "Xiyuan, you don't need to pay attention to Xu Yao, you just need to say whether you are willing or not." ”
"Auntie, I like you very much."
Under Murong Yanshu's sharp gaze, Ye Xiyuan glanced at Nangong Xuyao, gritted her teeth, and still spoke, "But, please forgive me, I can't be your goddaughter." ”
Since Nangong Xuyao has spoken at this time, she naturally wants to seize this opportunity. Otherwise, if I really agreed today, I am afraid that it will really be a foregone conclusion in the future.
After hearing Ye Xiyuan's words, Murong Yanshu narrowed her eyes, and her tone was not as soft as before, "Xiyuan, you saved me today, that's why I made such a decision." You know, if you become my goddaughter, then your marriage will be supported by our Nangong family, which will definitely be beneficial and harmless to you. ”
"Of course, I know what you're thinking right now. You saved me today, and I like you too, so I don't want to say anything nasty. However, there are some words that cannot be avoided. I'll be honest with you today! I'm not blind, I see the little bit of caution between you and Xu Yao. ”
"But I'll be honest with you today! Hee Won, if you want to marry Xu Yao, it's absolutely impossible. Xu Yao is the young head of the Nangong family and the future head of the family. Therefore, his marriage is not his business alone, but a major event of the entire Nangong family. His future wife, the future head of the Nangong family, must be from a famous family. ”
"To put it mildly, you don't deserve it."
As Murong Yanshu said every word, the blood on Ye Xiyuan's face gradually faded. After hearing these words, her face was so white that there was no trace of blood. She opened her mouth, only to find that her throat felt like something was gagged, and she couldn't say a word.
"Mother, you're really going too far." Looking at Ye Xiyuan's appearance, a trace of distress flashed in Nangong Xuyao's eyes, he looked at Murong Yanshu and said, "Just now, Xiyuan saved you, but now you say such things, isn't it inappropriate?" ”
"What I say may not sound good, but it's true." Murong Yanshu put down Ye Xiyuan's hand, raised her head, looked at Nangong Xuyao, and continued to speak, "Xuyao, you know very well that what I said is the truth, isn't it?" You are the young master of the Nangong family, and you also have your own responsibilities. There are many things that you can't be willful. ”
Murong Yanshu's words made Nangong Xuyao unable to refute.
At this time, Murong Yanshu got up, glanced at Ye Xiyuan, and continued to speak, "Xiyuan, you saved me today, I am very grateful to you, so I am willing to accept you as my goddaughter." You don't need to rush to answer me about this matter, you can go back and think about it. You're a smart girl, and I think you'll make the best decision. ”
After speaking, she turned around and left, leaving only Nangong Xuyao and Ye Xiyuan in the room, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.
At noon the next day, Huangfu Ruiling asked Li San to get the bill for the medical bills, and then sent it together with the bullet casings.
After that, he planned to go to Ye Leng'an. He has already arranged all the work for today, and plans to go on a date with Ye Leng'an this afternoon.
It's just that he didn't expect that before he left the office, he ushered in an uninvited guest, who was really his father, Huangfu Jingzhang.
Seeing Huangfu Ruiling, who was about to leave like this, Huangfu Jingzhang couldn't help frowning, "It's so early now, where are you going?" Are you going to find that night Leng An? ”
"It's not about you." Huangfu Ruiling looked at Huangfu Jingzhang who was sitting on the other side of his desk, and couldn't help frowning, "You came to the group today, what is the matter?" ”
"Why, as the head of the Huangfu family, can't I come to the group to take a look?" Huangfu Jingzhang looked at Huangfu Ruiling and said, "Or are you completely ignoring me as a father now?" ”
A hint of sarcasm flashed in Huangfu Ruiling's eyes, "If you have anything, then say it directly, don't show your majesty as a father here, otherwise, you won't be accompanied." ”
"You-" Seeing Huangfu Ruiling's attitude, Huangfu Jingzhang was angry, "You rebel, I am your father, how dare you talk to me like this?" ”
"I dare not do it, I have already done it." Huangfu Ruiling said coldly, "Also, this is the group, and it is the place where the office is located. If you're fine, get out of here! ”
"Break up with Ye Leng'an." Huangfu Jingzhang leaned back, and then said directly, "Ye Leng'an, who doesn't even know who his parents are, is not worthy of you at all." ”
"Oh, then what kind of person do you think is worthy of me?" Huangfu Ruiling propped his hands and elbows on the desk, and when he looked at Huangfu Jingzhang opposite, there was no trace of temperature in his eyes, and it didn't look like he was looking at his father at all, but more like looking at a stranger.
"Miss Night—Night Night." Huangfu Jingzhang immediately spoke, "Your mother should have told you that the Ye family has agreed to marry our Huangfu family. Therefore, your future wife can only be late at night. ”
"If you like to be late at night, then you can get married." Huangfu Ruiling said indifferently, "It's absolutely impossible for me to agree to marry late." Anyway, it's all a marriage, you are still the head of the Huangfu family, and it's better to have you come forward to marry. ”
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, the anger in Huangfu Jingzhang's chest could no longer be suppressed, he directly picked up something from the tabletop and threw it towards Huangfu Ruiling, "You rebel, do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"I knew exactly what I was talking about." Huangfu Ruiling raised his hand, caught the thing that was thrown over, and said in a cold tone, "The one who doesn't know what you're talking about is you." It's not your turn to decide my marriage. ”
"I'm your father, why can't I call the shots?" Huangfu Jingzhang's voice raised a few degrees, "You were born to me, and I can make a decision about your marriage." Anyway, I'll leave the words here today, and the future head of our Huangfu family can only be late at night. ”
Huangfu Ruiling's voice was not loud, but his tone was very tough, "Then I will tell you directly now, late at night, if you want to marry, you can marry her, you can make her the head of the Huangfu family now, I don't have any opinion." But, don't you want to interfere in my marriage. ”
"You-"
Hearing this, Huangfu Jingzhang felt a burst of colic pain in his chest, which was angry. He covered his chest with one hand, and pointed at Huangfu Ruiling with the other trembling, "You rebel, you are going to anger me, are you?" ”
"I'm just telling you a fact." Huangfu Ruiling raised his head again, there was no warmth in his eyes, and the words he said were even more icy, making people feel extremely cold, "Don't try to meddle in any of my affairs, otherwise, I don't mind letting the Huangfu family change the head of the family now." ”
The cold words with threats made Huangfu Jingzhang can't help but have a cold war. He looked at Huangfu Ruiling, who was sitting opposite him, and felt a little familiar and unfamiliar for a while.
Perhaps, he had never seen such an emperor Ruiling.
All the time, he knew that Huangfu Ruiling was a withdrawn person, so he didn't like to associate with their relatives. Of course, he can't say that he likes this son. Especially since the other party took away almost all the power in his hands, so his feelings for this son are still very complicated. is not only proud of the other party's means at such a young age, but also resentful of the other party for stealing his power.
But even so, he was secretly a little proud in his heart, because Huangfu Ruiling was no matter how powerful he was, he was not his son, and he didn't want to listen to him. Otherwise, he would not have continued to sit in the position of the head of the Huangfu family after seizing power.
It wasn't until today that he knew that the other party hadn't been putting up with it, but hadn't taken him seriously at all. The things he did, in the eyes of the other party, were probably just clowns.
Taking a deep breath, Huangfu Jingzhang's attitude softened, "Ruiling, everything I do is for your good." With Ye Leng'an's background, do you really think she can afford the position of the head of the Huangfu family? If you really like this night cold, I won't force you to break up. ”
"However, if Ye Leng'an wants to marry you, it is absolutely impossible. After you get married, you can still continue to be with Ye Leng'an. Night Night is the eldest lady of the night family, born in everyone, and grew up watching these things since she was a child, so she still has this amount of tolerance. ”
Just like him, although his wife is Zhong Yu Liuying. Outside, however, he had several lovers. Of course, none of these lovers had children. Because of their background, they are not worthy of giving birth to the blood of the Huangfu family.
These Zhong Yuliu fireflies all know, but as long as those women outside can't affect her position, then she won't interfere.
Therefore, he felt that if Huangfu Ruiling really liked Ye Leng'an, then it would be okay to keep it outside at that time. It's just a woman, it's not a big deal.
