Chapter 176: Schadenfreude
"Concubine?" After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect that An An had already thought about marrying me in the future." It seems that this is a bit impatient! β
Hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an's cheeks were hot for a while, and then she stretched out her hand, towards Huangfu Ruiling's waist, and then directly pinched a piece of soft meat, made a 180-degree turn, and then said with a smile, "Yes!" Can't wait, so are you happy? β
As if he didn't feel the pain in his waist at all, Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng'an, without the hippie smile just now, and even with a trace of seriousness, he went straight forward, and then leaned into Ye Leng'an's ear, and a deep voice with a magnetism sounded, "I'm very happy." β
Listening to the low voice coming out of her ears, Ye Leng'an felt that her cheeks were even hotter, even if she didn't see it, she could know that her face must be red at the moment.
"Alright, let's not talk about that." Ye Leng'an hurriedly changed the topic, "Why do you think that this Zhong Yuyiran can't become Huangfu Ruixiang's wife!" I think the two of them are pretty good! Maybe soon, she'll marry your brother. β
"It can't be." Huangfu Ruiling said with certainty, "It is absolutely impossible for my parents to let Huangfu Ruixiang marry Zhong Yuyiran. It may be possible to be a lover outside. β
"That Zhong Yuyiran's means are not low." Ye Leng'an shook his head, "Moreover, if you really want to get married at that time, the most important thing is Huangfu Ruixiang's attitude, isn't it?" If he insists, the outcome is uncertain. β
"Is that a bet?" Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng'an and said, "Just bet on whether Zhong Yuyi can enter the gate of the Huangfu family." β
"You're talking about Ming Media getting married, right?" Ye Leng'an raised his eyebrows, and then said, "Then what is the bet?" β
"If I win, you grant me a request." A hint of darkness flashed in Huangfu Ruiling's eyes, and then he spoke, "Relatively, if you win, I will promise you a request, how about it?" β
"Yes." Ye Leng'an agreed without hesitation, but then she also made a request, "There is another premise for this, that is, you can't meddle in cheating!" β
"Don't worry, I won't interfere." Huangfu Ruiling said, "I won't interfere too much in their affairs. If they're going to get married, then I won't object. If they don't want to get married, I won't force it. β
Ye Lengan nodded.
Soon, Li San came back with a movie ticket.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the banquet of the handover of the head of the Huangfu family. From early in the morning, those members of the family who received the invitation letter have already begun to arrange to go to the banquet in the evening.
You must know that this is not an ordinary banquet, but a banquet for the Huangfu family to change the head of the family. Although the Huangfu family is also one of the four major families, its strength is faintly above the other three families. Before, I had always heard that most of the power of the Huangfu family was already in the hands of the young lord Huangfu Ruiling. It's just that, on the bright side, the head of the family is still the emperor's husband.
However, who would have thought that the Huangfu family would suddenly have the news that they were going to change the head of the family! Such abrupt news surprised everyone. However, this is an internal matter of the Huangfu family, and it is not something they can inquire about.
During this time, almost the entire upper-class family in the imperial capital was proud to receive an invitation from the Huangfu family. Even many people do everything possible to ask someone to find a relationship, just to be able to receive an invitation letter.
In the evening, almost all the invitees had already arrived early. On such a day, they dare not be late.
This time, Ye Leng'an naturally attended. She didn't run around, and she always followed Huangfu Ruiling's side.
When they saw the existence of Ye Leng'an, many people were a little surprised. However, when I think about it, I think that there is nothing strange about it. At the banquet held by the Nangong family before, many people heard Huangfu Ruiling personally admit the fact that Ye Leng'an was his girlfriend. So on an occasion like tonight, it's normal for Ye Leng'an to appear.
As one of the protagonists, Huangfu Jingzhang naturally must also attend. However, his face was not good, and from beginning to end, there was no smile on his face. Let people know at a glance that he is gloomy in his heart at the moment.
Zhong Yuliuying, who had been standing beside him, was no better, even though she had put on thick makeup, she still couldn't cover the haggard on her face.
Huangfu Jingzhang is going to lose her position as the head of the family tonight, and similarly, she can no longer be the head of the Huangfu family. In the future, those noble ladies who often gather together will no longer hold her as before.
If the person who will take over the position of head of the family tonight is Ruixiang, then her mood will definitely be completely different from now. The son is the head of the family, which is indeed much better than the husband being the head of the family. It's like why so many people want to be the queen mother.
However, Huangfu Ruiling, who is now about to take over as the head of the family, has been cold-hearted since she was a child, and she has no warmth for her as a mother. If such a person takes over as the head of the family, then her future situation can be imagined.
As long as she thought of this, she felt very uncomfortable in her heart. If she could, she really couldn't wait for it, now Huangfu Ruiling had an accident, and then the position of the head of the family was either Huangfu Jingzhang's or Huangfu Ruixiang's, then it was okay.
It's a pity, then she can only think about it, and it will definitely not be possible.
After Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an entered the venue, they went directly to the lounge.
Ye Leng'an stayed by Huangfu Ruiling's side, sitting on the chair next to Huangfu Ruiling, she was looking at the situation inside through the surveillance of the venue at the moment, and suddenly saw a familiar figure.
"Huh?" Ye Leng'an stared at one of the locations inside the surveillance, and muttered to himself in a somewhat confused tone, "Why did he come here?" β
"Who are you talking about?" Huangfu Ruiling followed Ye Leng'an's line of sight, and then explained with a smile, "Sheng'an Middle School is a noble school, why do you think he is firmly in the position of principal!" This is also because of the family factor. Although this Zheng family is not as good as the four major families, it is also a first-class family with a reputation in the imperial capital. β
That's right, the person Ye Leng'an saw at this moment was the principal of their school. Before, she didn't know that their principal was also from a famous family! No wonder he was able to sit firmly on the throne of the headmaster, and he was not afraid of any student in the school.
"It was really completely unexpected!" Ye Leng'an's tone did not hide his surprise, "When I was in the school before, I really couldn't see it at all!" β
"Actually, many people in the upper-class club know about it." Huangfu Ruiling opened his mouth and explained, "However, you were in the Ye family before, and the Ye family couldn't reach this level, so it wasn't clear. β
Ye Leng'an nodded and didn't say anything more.
In the venueββ
"Sister-in-law, you don't look very good!" Nangong Xiyu looked at Zhong Yuliuying with a concerned face, but she couldn't hide the schadenfreude in her eyes, "Today is a good day!" You should be happy! β
Unexpectedly, this Zhong Yuliu has today! In the past, Zhong Yuliuying had always relied on her identity as the wife of the head of the family, and looked down on her identity as a side of the Nangong family, and often squeezed her out of her words.
It's good now, this Huangfu Jingzhang will no longer be the head of the family soon, and even the identity of the housemother with Zhong Yuliu has been lost, and it is really happy!
"Brother and sister, you think too much, I'm fine." Zhong Yuliuying naturally knew that Nangong Xiyu was watching her jokes, but she would not let the other party be proud, "Today is Rui Ling taking over the position of head of the family, I am naturally happy." From now on, the head of the family will be my son, how can I be unhappy! β
She just wants to let the other party know that even if her husband is now stepping down from the position of head of the family, it is her son who is sitting in the position of head of the family. No matter what, Nangong Xiyu is definitely not comparable to her. Even if she is not the mother of the Huangfu family, she is also the mother of the head of the family.
"That's good." Nangong Xiyu hid her face and smiled, and continued to speak, "I thought you couldn't think about it all along!" I heard that you and your eldest brother have been looking for Ruiling all this time, wanting him to change his mind! β
She didn't believe Zhong Yuliuying's words at all. Who doesn't know, the relationship between Zhong Yuliuying and Huangfu Ruiling is not good at all! Not only her, but even Huangfu Jingzhang. In addition, when such a thing happened back then, Huangfu Ruiling was afraid that he had no feelings for the parents.
However, in the previous time, although Huangfu Ruiling was in power, he did not think about taking the position of the head of the family. I don't know why, recently, I suddenly changed my mind and pulled Huangfu Jingzhang down from the position of the head of the family.
Hearing Nangong Xiyu's words, Zhong Yuliuying's face stiffened, and after she reached out and brushed her hair, she said with a smile, "Brother and sister, this is a mistake." We came to Ruiling just to discuss the handover of the head of the family. Besides, we are his parents, isn't it normal to look for him? I don't know which person who doesn't know the situation is chewing on the root of the tongue and making you misunderstand. β
"I see! Looks like I was mistaken! A mockery flashed on Nangong Xiyu's face, "But, sister-in-law, now that the eldest brother has stepped down from the position of the head of the family, you have also taken the position of the master mother." In the future, you can enjoy your happiness, and you don't need to worry about those things in the family! β
She didn't believe that Zhong Yuliuying really didn't value the power in her hands at all. Zhong Yuliuying has always been proud of being the main mother.
You must know that although Huangfu Ruiling has already taken away most of the power of the family, he does not pay attention to the power of the inner house at all. Therefore, the power of Zhong Yuliuying's mother is firmly in her hands. However, now all these powers in his hands have to be handed over.
Compared with Huangfu Jingzhang, who only lost a name, Zhong Yuliuying lost not only his name, but also real power. She didn't believe that Zhong Yuliuying was really as calm as she seemed on the surface.
Sure enough, after hearing Nangong Xiyu's words, Zhong Yuliuying's face immediately flashed a trace of gloom, but she still forced a smile, "Brother and sister think too much, although Ruiling has already taken over the position of head of the family." But he is not married yet, and I still have to continue to take care of the affairs of this inner house. β
No matter what, she was unwilling to let go of the power in her hands. Moreover, although Huangfu Ruiling wants to take over the position of the head of the family, he has never said how to deal with the affairs of the inner house. Then she, as the mother of the head of the family, should share his worries for him, right?
Thinking of this, Zhong Yuliuying seemed to be a little more arrogant.
Hearing Zhong Yu Liuying's words, Nangong Xiyu couldn't help but curse shamelessly in her heart, but her face was not obvious, "Then it seems that Ruiling has already told you!" However, when you wait a while, you still have to ask Ruiling, after all, such a thing is sloppy! β
She didn't believe that Huangfu Ruiling would always let Zhong Yuliu take care of the affairs of the back house.
"No, I don't." Zhong Yuliuying's voice couldn't help but raise a few degrees, but then he found that he was overreacting, and quickly sorted out his expression before continuing to speak, "Brother and sister, are you doubting what I said?" I'm Ruiling's mother, that's a fact. Is it possible that I can't even take care of the affairs of the inner house for my son? β
Originally, it was very likely that Huangfu Ruiling didn't care about these things, so he didn't mention it. If Nangong Xiyu mentions it, maybe she will really lose the power of the inner house.
A trace of disdain flashed on Nangong Xiyu's face, but there was still a smile on her face, "Sister-in-law, I didn't doubt you." It's just that we still have to abide by the rules of the Huangfu family. The affairs of this inner house have always been in charge of the head of the house. However, if the head of the family has not yet taken a wife, then the person who is chosen by the head of the family will have to be chosen. β
"Although you are the mother of the head of the family, you still have to abide by the rules of the Huangfu family."
Zhong Yuliuying's face suddenly became gloomy, and when she looked at Nangong Xiyuan, she even carried a slight threat and warning, "Brother and sister, I know what you are thinking in your heart. However, don't forget, no matter what, Ruiling was born by me and came out of my belly. The mother and son have no overnight feuds. β
Hearing such threatening words, Nangong Xiyu smiled disdainfully, "Sister-in-law, then you really misunderstood me." I didn't say anything, I just planned to follow the rules of the Imperial Family. Of course, if my sister-in-law thinks that what I said is wrong, then I can't say anything more. It's just that there are some things that will be better than the price if you say it clearly. If there is no order from the new head of the house, I don't know whether I should listen to you or not. β
She is not afraid of Zhong Yuliu! Even if Zhong Yuliuying is Huangfu Ruiling's biological mother, everyone in the Huangfu family knows what the relationship between mother and son is. If it can really be eased, it will not be possible to be frozen there for so many years.
Looking at Nangong Xiyu's gloating appearance, Zhong Yuliuying gritted her teeth with hatred.
Just as the two were talking, Huangfu Ruiling also appeared at the banquet again, and the person pushing him at this moment was Ye Leng'an.
Everyone's eyes involuntarily fell on the two of them.
Huangfu Ruiling is sitting in a wheelchair at the moment, and a black cut suit looks particularly fitting. a bright face, revealing an angular cold hand; dark eyes, glowing color; The thick eyebrows, the tall nose, and the beautiful lip shape all show nobility and elegance. Even if he is in a wheelchair, he can't hide his elegance.
And Ye Leng'an, who pushed him, wore a white evening dress, and the long silk skirt gently wrapped her delicate body, flowing from her body to the ground like water waves. The long skirt of the bandeau is made of tiny pearls to form small beaded flowers, scattered on the skirt, elegant and noble. The ethereal temperament of the whole body and Huangfu Ruiling can be said to reflect each other, and they have not fallen behind at all.
It can be said that these two people are really handsome men and women together, no matter how you look at it, they look like a pair of golden boys and girls.
Many of the women present couldn't stop being jealous of Ye Leng'an.
After tonight, Huangfu Ruiling is already the official head of the Huangfu family. Looking at it, among the first-class families in the imperial capital, there is no such young family master.
Now that Huangfu Ruiling is young, he is already the head of the Huangfu family. This also means that if you can marry Huangfu Ruiling, you will be able to become the head of the Huangfu family immediately. What a temptation! Even if Huangfu Ruiling is disabled and needs to sit in a wheelchair, it can't extinguish their raging love.
Moreover, in addition to the disability of his legs, Huangfu Ruiling can be called the best quality in other aspects. Young, handsome, and powerful. No matter how you look at it, they are the most ideal husband candidates.
However, the person who is standing next to Huangfu Ruiling now is just a small person who is unknown. It's not even the daughter of a wealthy family, how can this make them not feel jealous!
Feeling the raging jealousy projected on him by those daughters, Ye Leng'an whispered, "Ruiling, it seems that you are really the golden beetle's son-in-law!" Look at how many people in this room are staring at my position! I think that if my eyes could really kill, I would have been slashed by a thousand knives! β
"Don't talk nonsense." Hearing Ye Leng'an's description, Huangfu Ruiling couldn't help frowning, "Those people have nothing to do with me, and you don't need to care." If you don't like it, I can have them all kicked out. β
"Don't." Ye Leng'an hurriedly opened his mouth to stop, "I'm just joking." On an occasion like today, even if those women are envious, jealous and hateful, they can't do anything about me. And I kind of enjoy these jealous looks. This shows that I have a good eye to find a top quality man like you! β
Hearing Ye Leng'an's description of himself, Huangfu Ruiling couldn't help but laugh.
The people below naturally couldn't hear the conversation between Ye Leng'an and Huangfu Ruiling, but they could see the expressions of the two of them.
When they saw the doting expression on Huangfu Ruiling's face, many daughters were heartbroken. Originally, they were still thinking about whether they still had a chance. But seeing the expressions of Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an when they spoke, they knew that it was difficult for them to get involved.
Huangfu Jingzhang naturally saw it, but unlike others, at this moment, he secretly scolded in his heart.
The reason why he has lost his position as the head of the family now is because of the existence of Ye Leng'an. So he naturally didn't have any good feelings for Ye Leng'an.
However, because of the cold night before, he even lost the position of the head of the family. Therefore, although he was very dissatisfied now, he didn't say much, lest he hate him when the emperor Fu Ruiling was evil.
Today's banquet, Zhong Yuyiran also participated.
At this moment, she is wearing a delicate dress, which makes her already gorgeous face even more glossy. Coupled with a hint of sickness on his face, it makes people even more pitiful. This also made many men around him a little nervous.
They don't know much about Zhong Yu Yiran's identity, but they know that she follows Mrs. Huangfu and her surname is Zhong Yu.
This shows that this Zhong Yu Yiran should be a member of the Zhong Yu family. Such an identity is naturally a good object for marriage. And, the most important thing is that this Zhong Yu Yiran is still so beautiful.
Zhong Yuyi was naturally able to detect the hot eyes cast by those men, and she didn't feel troubled at all, but a little comfortable.
Because from the eyes of these people, she knew that she was definitely able to easily attract men's attention at this moment.
However, when she saw the intimate interaction between Ye Leng'an and Huangfu Ruiling, she was almost so jealous that she was about to bite that silver tooth.
It's just that she quickly calmed down. She knew very well that her goal today was not Huangfu Ruiling, but Huangfu Ruixiang. And there's only one chance. If you lose this opportunity, it will be almost impossible to marry into the Huangfu family if you want to have another chance in the future.
Moreover, if she fails this time, then there is a good chance that she will fall into a place from which she will never recover. Because, on Zhong Yuliuying's side, it is absolutely impossible to let her go.
Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and her eyes became a lot firmer.
If you say that the most shocked person present, it must be Zheng Anyang.
Originally, today's banquet was not for him to attend. The current head of the Zheng family is his eldest brother, and such a banquet should naturally be attended by the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Normally, he doesn't like to participate in such banquets very much.
It's just that this time, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are abroad, and they really can't find time to come back, so he can only participate.
He never imagined that he would meet his students on such an occasion.
