Chapter 749: Impromptu Performance

Upon hearing this, Huangfu Ruiling, on the stage, furrowed his brow. His gaze immediately fell upon Li San below the stage, a hint of sharpness in his eyes.

Li San, caught off guard, began to sweat nervously. He bowed to Huangfu Ruiling and made his way out.

He had orchestrated the entire engagement ceremony. Following the exchange of engagement rings by his master and Miss Ye, the announcement of the completed engagement should have been the next step. However, for some unknown reason, there was an unexpected addition of a parental speech segment. Regardless of the reason, this lapse was his responsibility.

His immediate task was to investigate thoroughly to understand what had happened.

The audience below the stage didn’t find it unusual, as such additional segments were deemed normal. Many engagement ceremonies included parents expressing wishes for their children.

Ye Leng’an glanced at Huangfu Jingzhang, who was eloquently expressing his sentiments, then moved closer to Huangfu Ruiling and asked softly, “I thought, given your temperament, you wouldn’t allow them to speak.”

“In the previous program, there was no such thing.” Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes revealed a trace of coldness. “This is probably their impromptu performance!”

As he spoke, a chill emanated from him. Clearly, he didn’t appreciate the impromptu performance by Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying.

Ye Leng’an’s eyes showed a hint of surprise. “So, they are quite quirky! How did they think of speaking at this moment? I recall that during Huangfu Ruixiang’s engagement, there was no such segment!”

Weren’t Huangfu Ruixiang their favored son? Why did they have nothing to say at their favorite son’s engagement, but had so much to say at the engagement of Huangfu Ruiling, the son they had neglected since childhood?

“Probably because…” Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes grew colder. “They want those below to believe that the so-called parents have a good relationship with me, their son. So, when they see my engagement, they get overly excited and have numerous expectations to express.”

Ye Leng’an raised her eyebrows but refrained from further comments.

While Huangfu Jingzhang was speaking on stage, turmoil engulfed his thoughts. As Huangfu Ruiling suspected, he wanted outsiders to perceive a close relationship between him and Huangfu Ruiling. That was why he approached the emcee before the ceremony and added this segment.

Yet, he worried that Huangfu Ruiling might react strongly.

He had never understood his son, Huangfu Ruiling, well. Hence, he wasn’t sure how Huangfu Ruiling would respond. But he took a gamble, betting that Huangfu Ruiling’s affection for Ye Leng’an would prevent any rash actions during the engagement ceremony.

As Huangfu Jingzhang finished speaking, it was Zhongyu Liuying’s turn.

In contrast to Huangfu Jingzhang, Zhongyu Liuying spoke more emotionally. She repeatedly emphasized the hope that the two brothers would support each other. Her intentions were apparent.

“Zhongyu Liuying seems to be thinking about Huangfu Ruixiang all the time!” Ye Leng’an smirked. “On a day like today, she keeps reminding you of your younger brother. Is she trying to make you yield?”

Huangfu Ruiling’s coldness intensified.

At this moment, Li San returned. He came to Huangfu Ruiling, whispered a few words, and then left.

“What’s going on?” Ye Leng’an looked at Huangfu Ruiling with a hint of doubt.

“It’s nothing.” Huangfu Ruiling shook his head. “Li San went to inquire and found out that before the engagement ceremony, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying went to the emcee to add this segment. The emcee initially disagreed, but Huangfu Jingzhang used his father’s identity to pressure him, even promising him a job in Huangye Group. So, he was tempted and agreed.”

“As expected, incentives sway people!” Ye Leng’an’s eyes flashed. “Isn’t the emcee afraid of your anger?”

“He probably thinks that I have a good relationship with Huangfu Jingzhang,” Huangfu Ruiling said lightly. “So, even if I’m dissatisfied, in the end, there’s Huangfu Jingzhang and others to suppress it. They won’t let anything happen!”

“Oh, really?” Ye Leng’an raised her head, blinked, and smiled. “What do you plan to do?”

“Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying probably live too comfortably, so they want to torment themselves like this!” Huangfu Ruiling’s tone lacked any extra emotion. He simply stated a fact. “Starting tomorrow, their monthly allowances will be halved. As for that emcee, his career has come to an end today!”

Ye Leng’an nodded and continued to ask, “What should we do now? Judging by her demeanor, I’m afraid she won’t finish speaking anytime soon!”

Huangfu Ruiling didn’t say anything more. He simply held onto Ye Leng’an’s arm and walked directly towards Zhongyu Liuying.

Their actions sparked animated discussions among the guests below the stage.

Zhongyu Liuying was still speaking passionately, but she noticed that the expressions of the people below were strange. Some even started whispering.

An ominous feeling rose in her heart, but before she could react, the microphone in her hand was taken away by a large hand.

Such a rude act displeased her. She turned her head, ready to scold, but all her words were stuck in her throat. Her angry expression hadn’t completely disappeared, but it was now mixed with embarrassment and helplessness.

The person who took the microphone was none other than Huangfu Ruiling.

Her heart skipped a beat. She felt that things had taken a bad turn. She hadn’t expected that Huangfu Ruiling would actually prevent her from speaking.

Huangfu Ruiling didn’t even glance at the bewildered Zhongyu Liuying. Instead, he announced directly, “Let the banquet begin!”
