Chapter 660: Seeking Justice
Since Huangfu Ruiling showed no signs of relenting, Ye Wanwan maintained her apologetic stance. At this moment, her face was flushed with shame, an experience she had never encountered before.
Being the young lady of the Ye family, everyone had always accommodated and respected her. Yet now, she had to bow down to someone else, and it happened to be in front of Ye Aryan, the person she despised the most.
Although she knew Ye An’an was not the child back then, there was an innate aversion and wariness towards her. She couldn’t explain why, but she simply disliked Ye An’an, even bordering on loathing. Now, the person she harbored such feelings for was seated there, while she stood like a guilty party.
“Mrs. Ye, Ye Wanwan is no longer a child,” Ye Lengan calmly stated. “She knows exactly what her actions represent. So, there’s no need for these lofty words here. A mistake is a mistake; there’s no need for excuses. As for forgiveness, shouldn’t it be up to us, the victims, to decide? She has the right to apologize, and we have the freedom to choose whether to forgive. Hence, there’s no need to bring up the relationship between the two families. If Miss Ye Wanwan truly valued that relationship, she wouldn’t have committed such an act.”
Ye Leng’an’s tone was light, devoid of reproach, yet it left no room for rebuttal.
At least, after hearing this, even Lian Mengzhu found herself speechless.
As for Ye Wanwan, she lifted her head, her face alternating between pale and flushed. When she looked towards Ye Lengan, there was a hint of resentment deep within her eyes.
Ye Hongxuan couldn’t help but frown. He looked towards Huangfu Ruiling and continued, “Master Huangfu, are you unwilling to forgive my daughter?”
Though Huangfu Ling had previously mentioned that Ye An’an’s status in the Huangfu family was equal to the family head, he harbored doubts. Despite being a loving husband, he couldn’t bring himself to treat his wife’s status on par with his own within the family.
He never thought Ye An’an could truly represent the Huangfu family in such a significant matter.
“Didn’t my fiancée already answer that?” Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Hongxuan coldly. “So, Master Ye, please leave!”
Ye Hongxuan’s expression darkened completely. He hadn’t expected Huangfu Ruiling to be so disrespectful.
Despite both being heads of major families, he was much older than Huangfu Ruiling. Although he didn’t expect him to treat him as an elder, at least his attitude should be better.
Just an incident like today, a matter of mere words, and Huangfu Ruiling was unwilling to relent, it was simply outright arrogance,
“Very well. Since that’s the case, we have nothing to say if Master Huangfu is unwilling to forgive my daughter.” Ye Hongxuan chuckled in anger. “After all, my daughter was in the wrong in this matter. We have nothing to say.
However, besides apologizing today, we also want to seek justice from Master
Huangfu.”
Upon hearing this, even Lian Mengzhu and Ye Wanwan involuntarily directed their gazes at Ye Hongxuan. Evidently, they were surprised by this unexpected turn, as their purpose for this trip was clear – to apologize.
Huangfu Ruiling looked up at Ye Hongxuan, his brows furrowed slightly. He calmly said, “Master Ye, if you have something to say, say it. I don’t believe our Huangfu family has done anything to let your Ye family down.”
Ye Leng’an also cast an intrigued look at Ye Hongxuan, curious about what he intended to convey.
Ye Hongxuan didn’t mince words and spoke directly, “Actually, I’ve previously approached your Huangfu family’s Grand Elder. However, it seems he has no intention of resolving this matter properly. Therefore, I hope Master Huangfu can provide an explanation for our Ye family.”
“Just say it, Master Ye,” Huangfu Ruiling said lightly.
“Master Huangfu, there should be someone named Huangfu Ruiling in your family, right?” Ye Hongxuan stated bluntly. “Wanwan used to like him a lot and pleaded with us for a long time. Consequently, we agreed to her marriage with Huangfu Ruiling. However, not only did Huangfu Ruiling disagree, but he also humiliated my daughter. Is he bullying our Ye family?”
Towards the end, Ye Hongxuan couldn’t contain the anger within him and slammed the table hard.
Lian Mengzhu immediately grasped her husband’s meaning and added, “Master Huangfu, if Huangfu Ruiling disagrees with the marriage, he can just say so. However, when we mentioned the marriage, his parents didn’t object; they even agreed. That’s why we accepted this union. But Huangfu Ruiling reneged on his words and even found a woman to humiliate Wanwan. Isn’t this a blatant disregard for our Ye family? Master Huangfu, shouldn’t your Huangfu family provide an explanation for this matter?”
Upon hearing Ye Hongxuan’s words, Ye Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat. She hadn’t expected her father to suddenly bring up this matter. While she did hope her father would seek justice for her previously, ever since she learned of Ye Leng’an’s identity, she no longer harbored such thoughts. It wasn’t because she believed the matter had been resolved, but because she didn’t want her parents to interact with Ye Lengan in any way. She didn’t even want to hear Ye Leng’an’s name from her parents.
Yet, she dared not speak now, afraid that any misstep might arouse her parents’ suspicions or, worse, lead to their abandonment once they discovered Ye Leng’an’s identity.
Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan immediately grasped Ye Hongxuan’s intention.
“Master Ye, what exactly do you mean?” Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Hongxuan.. “What is this so-called explanation you’re seeking? Or do you want our Huangfu family to compensate you?”
