Chapter 767: Seeking Help
She had endured everything else, but she couldn’t tolerate being taken advantage of like this! If she continued to yield for several days in a row, wouldn’t Huangfu Ruixiang’s mistress truly overshadow her?
Even Ye Leng’an, who was nearby, couldn’t help but be speechless after hearing Zhongyu Liuying’s words. Although she knew the other party wanted to suppress Zhong Yating, she couldn’t believe such foolish words could be uttered.
“What do you mean?” Hearing Zhong Yating’s rebuttal, Zhongyu Liuying’s voice immediately rose several notches. “As a daughter-in-law, are you criticizing me, your mother-in-law? You’ve just married, and you want to assert your authority. You think you’re so remarkable!”
“I didn’t…” Zhong Yating wanted to defend herself. “I just think this is unfair, and if this matter spreads, it wouldn’t be good for the reputation of our Huangfu family!”
“Do you think you need to worry about the reputation of our Huangfu family?” Huangfu Jingzhang sneered and said, “You just married into the family. Do you think you carry that much weight?”
Zhong Yating’s face alternated between pale and flushed, feeling extremely embarrassed. She couldn’t help but look at Huangfu Ruixiang beside her, obviously hoping her husband would speak up for her.
However, Huangfu Ruixiang obviously didn’t take Zhong Yating’s side. He looked at her with disapproval. “Yating, how can you disobey Mother like this?”
Huangfu Ruixiang didn’t think much of Zhongyu Liuying’s suggestion. After all, even though he and Zhong Yating were married now, he knew Li Yiran first.
Ever since he went to the Hidden World for the Family Competition and stayed there, he hadn’t been with Li Yiran. He hadn’t even seen his child. Now, he was just planning to spend a few days with Li Yiran and the child. What was wrong with that?
Moreover, when they returned to the Hidden World together, they would have to spend time together.
Hearing Huangfu Ruixiang’s reproach, Zhong Yating felt wronged. She was clearly the victim in this matter! What newlywed couple would want to separate? Moreover, the husband had to accompany another woman. Wasn’t this a blatant slap in her face? If outsiders found out, what would they think of her? And this woman, wouldn’t she be mocking her for the rest of her life because of this?
Li Yiran, who was the beneficiary, held the child. Although her face showed no extra expression, the pride in her eyes was unmistakable.
Although she hadn’t expected Zhongyu Liuying to make such a decision to suppress Zhong Yating, she was the one who benefited this time, so she was very proud.
Zhong Yating gritted her teeth. She didn’t continue to argue with Zhongyu Liuying. She turned her head and looked at Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an beside her, saying, “Brother, Sister-in-law, do you think this is reasonable?”
She could tell that no one present, whether it was her newlywed husband or her in-laws, would stand by her side at this moment. So she could only seek help from Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an. Even though she knew the other party might not help her, she was still hopeful.
Huangfu Jingzhang’s and Zhongyu Liuying’s expressions immediately turned ugly. Clearly, they felt that Zhong Yating’s actions were embarrassing them.
Huangfu Ruixiang also immediately looked at Huangfu Ruiling, as if afraid the latter would say something.
Li Yiran, on the other hand, looked guilty. She lowered her head and looked at the child in her arms, not daring to say anything.
Huangfu Ruiling remained expressionless as if he hadn’t heard Zhong Yating’s words. Or rather, he had no intention of getting involved from the start.
On the other hand, Ye Leng’an was stunned when she heard her name being called. Originally, she had only come to be a quiet observer and watch the show. She didn’t expect to be dragged into the situation now.
Facing Zhong Yating’s pleading gaze, Ye Leng’an blinked. Finally, she said, “This approach is indeed very inappropriate.”
As soon as she said this, Huangfu Jingzhang’s and Zhongyu Liuying’s expressions visibly darkened. When they looked at Ye Leng’an, their eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.
But because Huangfu Ruiling was present, they couldn’t say anything to Ye Leng’an.
Zhong Yating seemed to have received great support and immediately became excited. “Sister-in-law is right.”
Ye Leng’an’s expression remained unchanged even as everyone looked at her. She cleared her throat and continued, “I’m not taking anyone’s side when I say this. I’m just stating a fact. I’ve never seen a groom spend time with another woman a few days just after the wedding. If such a thing were to spread, people would only laugh at the Huangfu family for not knowing the rules.”
Regarding Huangfu Ruixiang’s situation, she didn’t intend to interfere. However, if she had to speak fairly, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying had gone too far.
No matter which family it was, such a thing was impossible. If Zhongyu Liuying wanted to suppress Zhong Yating, she wouldn’t interfere. But if she had to judge such a matter that clearly smeared the Huangfu family’s reputation, she would definitely feel that such a method was inappropriate.
Such simple words were like a slap to Huangfu Jingzhang’s and Zhongyu Liuying’s faces. They hated Ye Leng’an to the point of grinding their teeth.
But before they could say anything, Huangfu Ruiling had already spoken.
“In that case, Ruixiang will accompany Zhong Yating for the next few days!” Huangfu Ruiling announced his final decision. “We don’t want outsiders to ridicule the Huangfu family.”
With that final decision, no one present dared to voice any more objections.
Li Yiran lowered her head, a trace of resentment and dissatisfaction flashing in her eyes. But the decision was made by Huangfu Ruiling, so she didn’t dare to say anything.
As for Zhong Yating, she heaved a sigh of relief. She knew she had offended her in-laws by seeking help from Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an. But the other party had gone too far. She had no choice.
