Chapter 155: Nangong Xuyao's Changes
Nangong Xuyao clutched the paper in his hand tightly, his eyes were red, and he clenched his teeth, so that he could restrain the churning in his heart at the moment. He gasped constantly, as if to relieve the anger in his chest, but nothing could be done.
After a long time, he controlled the anger in his heart, and then, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer, then took out his mobile phone and made a call, "Hey, mother, are you busy?" ”
Hearing that it was Nangong Xuyao's voice, Murong Yanshu's tone was a little indifferent, "I'm not busy, but if you want to discuss things about Ye Xiyuan with me, then there is no need to continue." Recognizing her as my goddaughter is already my biggest concession. ”
Usually, she didn't pay attention to family affairs like the Ye family at all. If it weren't for Ye Xiyuan saving her, then she wouldn't have made such a decision. You must know that becoming the godmother of the Nangong family is to gild a layer of gold on your body. This is something that many young ladies of other families dream of!
"Mother, don't worry, I really want to discuss with you about Ye Xiyuan today." When he said this, a cold light flashed in Nangong Xuyao's eyes, "However, I'm not here to oppose your decision. I think your decision is a good one, and I agree with it. ”
After hearing this, Murong Yanshu was stunned, she took away her mobile phone, looked at the name on the screen, and then said suspiciously, "Xu Yao, are you okay?" ”
At the moment, she wondered if the person who was talking to her on the phone was her son. Obviously, last night, he was still so strongly opposed to her decision, and he was resolutely unwilling to become a brother and sister with Ye Xiyuan. Now it's only been a night, and the decision has changed.
Such a change was so abrupt that she not only did not feel a trace of surprise, but felt frightened.
"Mother, what are you talking about?" Hearing Murong Yanshu's skeptical tone, Nangong Xuyao couldn't help but hold his forehead, "Aren't you very firm and will never let me be with Ye Xiyuan?" In that case, I promise you today, shouldn't you be happy? ”
"If you really make such a decision, then I am naturally happy." Murong Yanshu on the other end of the phone said in a somewhat serious tone, "However, if you are just perfunctory to me, then I will be very unhappy." ”
She didn't think that one night could make such a big difference. Such a change is so sudden, no matter how you look at it, it feels strange.
"Mother, I just figured it out." The corners of Nangong Xuyao's mouth hooked up a sneer, "You're right, I am the young master of the Nangong family, and I have my own responsibilities and responsibilities. Ye Xiyuan is indeed not qualified to be the head of the Nangong family, so I think your proposal is very good. ”
Although she was suspicious of Nangong Xuyao's sudden change, Murong Yanshu still spoke, "Since you have decided, then I will ask Ye Xiyuan again to see what she thinks." If she still doesn't want to, then you will give the Ye family a little benefit at that time, and you should thank Ye Xiyuan for saving her life last night. ”
Hearing Murong Yanshu mention the grace of saving her life, Nangong Xuyao's face became even more gloomy, "Mother rest assured, I know what to do." ”
After hanging up the phone, Nangong Xuyao directly waved his hand, swept all the things on the table to the ground, and muttered to himself with pity, "Ye Xiyuan, you are very good, you deceived me, right?" ”
Originally, because of Ye Xiyuan's actions last night, he didn't plan to investigate the original incident. However, unexpectedly, early this morning, he received a courier, which was a bill for medical expenses, saying that it was the consultation fee that needed to be paid to save him.
When he saw the bill, at first he thought it was someone's prank. It's just that when he saw the bullet casing that came with the bill, he was stunned.
Because that's the cartridge casing he left over from the original shot. So, the bill wasn't a prank, it was real. Although I don't know why it took so long, it is certain that this bill was sent by his real life-saving benefactor.
This means that Ye Xiyuan's life-saving grace was fake, and Ye Xiyuan, the so-called life-saving benefactor, was also fake. And he was like a fool, he was kept in the dark all the time, and he was played around by Ye Xiyuan. Originally, he thought that Ye Xiyuan was the kindest and most beautiful girl in the world, but he didn't expect that everything was just pretended by the other party.
As soon as he thought of all the good he had done to Ye Xiyuan during this period of time, he felt that he was a wronged man.
Ye Xiyuan pretended to be his life-saving benefactor, wasn't it just to climb up to their Nangong family? Since this is the case, then he will give Ye Xiyuan this opportunity. It's just that the final form is not up to Ye Xiyuan to decide. Moreover, even if she really became the godlady of the Nangong family, Ye Xiyuan would definitely not be able to enjoy the treatment of the Nangong family.
Nangong Xuyao's gaze involuntarily fell on the bullet casings and bills, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Now although he knows that Ye Xiyuan is not his savior, he doesn't know who his savior is. Because there was no payment on the bill, only an account number was left, and he was asked to transfer the money directly into that account.
He always felt that this bill seemed to be related to Huangfu Ruiling.
At the banquet last night, Huangfu Ruiling had already hinted to him that Ye Xiyuan, the so-called benefactor of saving the people, was fake. I received the bill early this morning, and there must be Huangfu Ruiling's handwriting in it.
Of course, he didn't think that the person who saved him in the first place was Huangfu Ruiling. However, it is certain that Huangfu Ruiling must know his true life-saving benefactor.
Now, though, it's all just his guess. What the truth is, he has to send someone to investigate.
At this time, in the Ye family's villa-
Ye Xiyuan was resting in his room.
Originally, at this time today, she should be in Tianjin City to make up for classes, preparing to participate in the upcoming National Mathematics Olympiad. However, because she is now injured, she can only continue to take leave to stay at home to rest. However, even when she was resting at home, she was still reading a book.
This time, the Olympiad is too important for her to tolerate half a point difference. Because the rewards of this mission are too rich, and if you lose, the cost is correspondingly too great. If it weren't for her parents who saw her injury last night and insisted that she rest for a few days, she would have returned to Jinshi to continue tutoring.
Just when Ye Xiyuan was still studying seriously, the phone suddenly rang. She hurriedly picked it up, but when she heard the words on the other end of the phone, she was stunned. Before she could react, the other side had already hung up the phone.
Even though the phone has been hung up, Ye Xiyuan still maintains the posture of answering the phone.
I don't know how long it took before she numbly put down the phone, then picked up the phone, glanced at the call log, and made sure that it wasn't her hallucination just now.
After coming back to his senses, Ye Xiyuan directly threw the mobile phone in his hand to the ground, and the expression on his face became a little hideous, and the surrounding atmosphere was shrouded in a layer of haze.
Staring at the mobile phone on the ground, Ye Xiyuan didn't know whether she was staring at the mobile phone or through the mobile phone, staring at the person who called just now.
She couldn't believe what she had just heard, obviously last night, Nangong Xuyao was still resolute not to let her become his godsister. However, today someone from the Nangong family called and asked her if she agreed with Madame's proposal last night, and said that the young master agreed with this decision very much.
In that tone, it seemed as if it had given her a great gift. She has no interest in becoming the Nangong family's at all, she just wants to be the head of the Nangong family.
However, now even Nangong Xuyao has compromised. Could it be that in Nangong Xuyao's heart, she has no status at all?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiyuan directly called the system, "System, what is Nangong Xuyao's favorability towards me now?" ”
"The system is querying, please wait." A mechanical voice sounded in his head, "According to the latest data, Nangong Xuyao's favorability towards the host is 40%. ”
"What?" As soon as she heard the result, Ye Xiyuan almost jumped up, her tone was full of disbelief, "How is this possible?" Just last night, Nangong Xuyao's favorability towards me was already 88%. ”
She couldn't figure it out at all, it was just one night, why did it change so much? What happened to her that she didn't know? Or is there something wrong with the system?
As if sensing Ye Xiyuan's suspicions, the system's mechanical voice sounded again, "The system can't go wrong, now Nangong Xuyao's favorability towards the host has dropped to 30%, that is to say, the host's luck originally obtained because of Nangong Xuyao will all disappear." ”
After hearing the system's response, Ye Xiyuan felt very anxious.
Nangong Xuyao is the young master of the Nangong family, and his luck is very strong. Because she has gained such a high favorability as Nangong Xuyao, her luck has increased a lot. But now it's all gone. This is equivalent to saying that everything she has done before has been in vain.
Moreover, the most important thing is that Nangong Xuyao's favorability towards her is so low, she still doesn't know what the reason is.
"System, why did Nangong Xuyao's favorability towards me drop so much all at once?"
"This question is not within the scope of the system's query, and the system cannot answer it."
After hearing the system's answer, Ye Xiyuan felt that she wanted to scold. It's just that because she knows that the system can monitor her inner thoughts, she doesn't dare to think too much.
However, over time, especially during this period of time, the performance of the system. She had to start wondering if the system was a cripple, which was why she didn't know anything, and sometimes it didn't work.
However, Rao is like this, and she can only break her teeth and swallow blood. The system is now bound to her, which is a fact that cannot be changed, so she can only continue like this.
Moreover, if she really lost the help of the system, she was not sure if she would be able to defeat Ye Leng'an.
So, now she has mixed feelings about the system. On the one hand, she felt that the system was not very useful at all, and even had frequent bugs. On the other hand, she is very dependent on the system.
However, the most important thing for her now is not the problem of the system, but the problem of Nangong Xuyao's side.
Obviously, the person who just called didn't lie, Nangong Xuyao had really agreed. So what should she do next?
If she agrees, then she and Nangong Xuyao will be brother and sister in the future, although they are not related by blood. But even if this is the case, if you want to be together in the future, I am afraid it will be very difficult. However, if you don't agree, now Nangong Xuyao's favorability is so low, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to even meet in the future.
Now she's really in a dilemma.
Time passed day by day, and one day, the entire high society of the imperial capital was shaken. If nothing else, it's because the Huangfu family, one of the four major families, is actually going to change the head of the family.
As soon as such news spread, it exploded in the major families. Because no one could have imagined that the Huangfu family would suddenly change the head of the family.
You must know that the head of a family is not something that can be changed casually. Although most of the power of the Huangfu family has long fallen into the hands of the young master, Huangfu Ruiling, for so many years, the head of the family has always been Huangfu Jingzhang. Now he suddenly sent out the news that he was going to change the head of the family.
I hadn't heard of any rumors before. Moreover, the appearance of the emperor Jingzhang in the past few days does not seem to know about this matter at all. It's strange to think about it when you suddenly receive such an invitation.
At this time, in the old mansion of the Huangfu family-
Huangfu Jingzhang held the phone in his hand, and his face was full of shock. I didn't even notice that the phone in my hand had fallen.
"What's going on?" Seeing Huangfu Jingzhang's appearance, Zhong Yuliuying on the side couldn't help frowning, "Did something happen?" ”
Huangfu Jingzhang looked like he had been hit hard, obviously this call was only from those old people in the family. They shouldn't dare to give Huangfu Jingzhang a grievance, after all, now externally, Huangfu Jingzhang is still the head of the Huangfu family. Moreover, although most of the power is concentrated in the hands of Huangfu Ruiling. However, Huangfu Ruiling is their biological son in the end.
If you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, those people will never dare to give the emperor a good look.
At this moment, Huangfu Ruixiang hurriedly went downstairs. At this moment, he has completely lost his previous personable appearance, probably because he walked too quickly, his hair was blown by the wind, and the clothes on his body seemed to be no longer neat and tidy, and he even looked a little wrinkled in some places.
"Ruixiang, what's the matter with you?" Zhong Yuliuying couldn't help frowning after seeing Huangfu Ruixiang's appearance, "Even if you are at home, you have to pay attention to your image!" You are the young master of the Huangfu family, and you represent the face of the Huangfu family. ”
"Mom, don't talk about this yet, if you want to train me, there will be opportunities in the future." Huangfu Ruixiang was a little out of breath, "The most important thing now is that our Huangfu family is going to change the head of the family, do you know about this?" ”
Originally, at this time, he was still resting in the room. Last night, he went out with his friends and didn't come back until the early hours of the morning.
Originally, I was going to sleep late today, but early in the morning, I received a call from those fox friends and told him the news. He didn't bother to freshen up, so he ran downstairs just to tell his parents the news.
"Bang-" A crisp voice sounded, and the coffee cup in Zhong Yuyiran's hand fell directly to the ground, making a crisp sound.
And at this moment, Zhong Yu Liuying couldn't care about the fragments of the coffee cup on the ground, she got up directly and came to Huangfu Ruixiang, "Ruixiang, what did you mean just now?" What does it mean that our family is about to change heads? Who are you listening to? You know, there are some things that you can't joke about. ”
"Mom, I'm not kidding!" Huangfu Ruixiang grabbed his hair hard, "Now that this matter has spread, the major families have already received invitations." You say, it's all come to this point, is it still possible to be fake? ”
He didn't want it to be true, okay.
You must know that the father is the head of the family and the eldest brother is the head of the family, for him, there is a complete difference.
Although the power of the family is no longer in the hands of the father. However, as long as his father is still the head of the Huangfu family, then outside, others will also value him a little more. If the head of the family is replaced by the eldest brother, it will be a different matter. In particular, the relationship between him and his eldest brother is not very close, and it can even be said that it is rusty.
After hearing Huangfu Ruixiang's words, Zhong Yuliuying immediately realized that this was not a joke. She hurriedly turned her head and looked at Huangfu Jingzhang. At this moment, she also understood why Huangfu Jingzhang was suddenly like this, and it seemed that the reason was here.
"This rebel." Huangfu Jingzhang's face was pale, his hands were clenched, and his teeth were clenched tightly, which showed how bad his mood was at the moment.
Just now, he received a call from the old people in the family, who asked about this matter.
When he heard about this, his first reaction was disbelief. However, the other end of the phone immediately told him that the world was true, and it had spread throughout the upper class of the imperial capital. They just called to ask what was going on.
"Is this true?" Seeing Huangfu Jingzhang's reaction, Zhong Yuliuying's eyes widened, and his eyes were full of disbelief, "How is this possible?" How could Ruiling do such a thing? ”
"It's that rebel, he wants to rebel!" Huangfu Jingzhang gritted his teeth with hatred, and his face was full of gloom at this moment, "He informed those families in the upper class of the entire imperial capital, but he didn't tell me about this person." He is now hardened in his wings, and he actually wants to drive me down from the position of head of the house, he is dreaming. ”
"Could there be some misunderstanding about this?" Zhong Yu Liuying hurriedly opened his mouth and persuaded him, "Now that things haven't been figured out, maybe, this is not Ruiling's work at all?" ”
"Who else but him?" Huangfu Jingzhang's eyes were full of anger, "He actually dared to do such a thing, in his eyes, is there still the existence of me as a father?" ”
"You dissipate your anger first." Zhong Yuliuying sat down next to Huangfu Jingzhang, and then patted the other party's back and agreed, "I don't know what is going on yet, we shouldn't rush to make a conclusion to Ruiling." Therefore, I think it is better to investigate this matter clearly. ”
"You don't want to excuse that rebel anymore." Huangfu Jingzhang's expression was not numbered at all, "All along, I just thought that his temperament was a little strange, but I didn't expect to do such a thing now." Even, such a big thing, let alone discussing it with me, he didn't even say it. I think in his heart, there is no such thing as me as a father. ”
"Jing Zhang, don't be so angry first." Zhong Yuliuying hurriedly continued to speak, "You better call Ruiling first and see what's going on!" Maybe you got it wrong! ”
"Mistaken?" Huangfu Jingzhang's face was full of sarcasm, "Now that the major families have received invitations, this banquet will be held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." The purpose of the banquet was to announce who the latest head of the Huangfu family was. In your opinion, this would be wrong? ”
"Anyway, you should also ask Ruiling," Zhong Yuliuying continued, "If it's a mistake, then you should have explained it earlier!" If he really did it, you should also ask what the reason is. ”
Although he couldn't make this call, after thinking about it again, he still chose to make this call. Because if this matter is true, then when he thinks of a way to solve it, it is very likely that it will be too late to withdraw those invitations.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
"Huangfu Ruiling, do you know what you're doing?"
As soon as the phone on the other end was picked up, Huangfu Jingzhang couldn't help but scold angrily, "I'm your father, how can you do such a thing?" Have you ever thought about how I feel like to be a father? What are you doing with me? ”
"Obviously, I am also one of the parties, but I can only learn about this matter from other people's mouths. Huangfu Ruiling, what do you mean? ”
"It's not interesting," Huangfu Ruiling didn't change the slightest bit after picking up the phone, his tone was still cold and beautiful, "Didn't you say it before?" Names are not important. In that case, I will return the same words to you now. ”
