BXBX NOVEL Chapter 949: Get out
“Are we still going to eat?” A cold voice rang out, and it wasn’t from anyone else but Huangfu Ruiling. His gaze landed on Huangfu Jingzhang. “If you’re not eating, then we’ll leave.”
His icy words sent shivers down everyone’s spines. Especially Huangfu Jingzhang, though Huangfu Ruiling was his son, couldn’t help but feel a tinge of fear. But as soon as he realized, anger surged within him.
Because today Zhongyu Lingshan had given him a Longevity Pill, revealing the existence of such treasures in the Hidden World. However, Huangfu Ruiling, the head of the Hidden World’s Huangfu family, had never considered giving them Longevity Pills.
Huangfu Ruiling was truly an ingrate. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have let Huangfu Ruiling be born. Or maybe, after his birth, they should have drowned him. Then, he would still be the head of the Huangfu family.
Despite harboring so much hatred and resentment, Huangfu Jingzhang ultimately suppressed it and ordered, “Serve the dishes!”
After his command, the servants promptly brought out the dishes
In no time, all the dishes were laid out.
After Huangfu Jingzhang took a bite, everyone started eating. Then, they began to toast Huangfu Jingzhang, as he was the guest of honor today. It was customary to offer blessings on such occasions.
Only Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an showed no intention of toasting. They were solely focused on eating as if their sole purpose of coming here was for the food.
Especially the two of them, displaying affection as if no one else was present. Huangfu Ruiling would occasionally feed Ye Leng’an and pick out fish bones for her. Ye Leng’an was completely at ease, showing no restraint.
Seeing their behavior, Huangfu Jingzhang felt even more stifled. Today was his birthday, yet he felt particularly aggrieved. Moreover, from the beginning till now, Huangfu Ruiling had never offered him a toast.
Did that ungrateful son still consider him a father?
While Ye Leng’an was engrossed in eating, Huangfu Ruiling’s phone suddenly rang. Huangfu Ruiling gestured to Ye Leng’an, then left to answer the call.
Though Huangfu Ruiling had left, Ye Leng’an remained unfazed and continued eating.
Suddenly, Zhongyu Lingshan stood up and approached Ye Leng’an, handing her a wine glass. She said, “Miss Ye, you didn’t give a gift earlier, saying you and Master Huangfu are one. But today is Uncle’s birthday. As his future daughter-in-law, even if you didn’t give your own gift, you should at least toast Uncle!”
Such a request seemed reasonable. However…
“Miss Zhongyu, aren’t you being presumptuous?” Ye Leng’an didn’t even stand up, just raised her head. “Who do you think you are to say such things? To be frank, though I may not be considered the host here, I can be seen as half of one. You’re merely a guest. Is it appropriate to make such demands to the host? Or is this the upbringing and manners of your Zhongyu family?
These words immediately wiped the smile off Zhongyu Lingshan’s face.
“Ye Leng’an, are you questioning the upbringing and manners of our Zhongyu family?”
Though it wasn’t directed at her, Zhongyu Liuying still spoke up. “It seems you’re quite dissatisfied with me, your future mother-in-law!”
Though she knew Ye Leng’an referred to the Zhongyu family of the Hidden World, not hers, it still sounded harsh to her ears.
Moreover, she was the one who invited Zhongyu Lingshan over. Yet, seeing Ye Leng’an treat Zhongyu Lingshan like this indicated Ye Leng’an didn’t take her seriously.
Just like Huangfu Jingzhang, she was dissatisfied with Ye Leng’an, her future daughter-in-law. However, they didn’t dare voice it because of Huangfu Ruiling’s protection.
Now that Huangfu Ruiling wasn’t here, she had no reservations. Looking at Ye Leng’an, her eyes were critical, and her tone unpleasant.
Witnessing this, everyone reacted differently.
Huangfu Jingxian and his family wore worried expressions but remained silent.
Though they shared the surname Huangfu, they belonged to the second branch and couldn’t interfere in the first branch’s matters. However, unlike Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying, they could see clearly how much Huangfu Ruiling valued Ye Leng’an, realizing she was not one to offend.
Huangfu Ruixiang and Zhong Yating remained silent, with neutral expressions. However, despite Li Yiran’s attempts to conceal it, her gloating was evident.
“Ye Leng’an, don’t think you can do as you please just because Huangfu Ruiling supports you,” Huangfu Jingzhang spoke up. “This is the Huangfu family, and you’re merely an outsider. Until you’re married, things can change. Moreover, even if you do get married, who can guarantee a happily ever after?
For a moment, it seemed like everyone’s attention was on Ye Leng’an.
Ye Leng’an’s expression remained unchanged. She set down her chopsticks and said, “Uncle, Auntie, it seems you’re quite dissatisfied with me! But what’s the point of telling me all this? You can directly talk to your son, Huangfu Ruiling! Perhaps, in the end, he’ll take your advice and break up with me!”
Her words sounded casual, but they sent shivers down everyone’s spines.
Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying’s expressions turned exceptionally ugly. They felt Ye Leng’an’s fearless attitude stemmed from Huangfu Ruiling’s support.
Huangfu Jingzhang was the most furious. He pointed towards the door, almost trembling as he growled, “I don’t think you came here today to celebrate my birthday. You’re here to infuriate me to death. Get out, get out!”
“Fine!” Ye Leng’an stood up nonchalantly. “Then Huangfu Ruiling and I will leave immediately.”
“Miss Ye, please wait.” Seeing the situation, Huangfu Jingxian was anxious and quickly spoke up, “Brother was just a little anxious, that’s why he spoke without thinking.”
