Chapter 164 Don't call me brother

As if Ye Xiyuan's pale face could not be seen at all, Nangong Xuyao continued, "There is one more thing that I need to clarify. Before, I believe many people have heard that Miss Ye Xiyuan is my savior. You may have made a mistake about this matter."

"Before, I was indeed seriously injured and rescued, but this person was not Ye Xiyuan, but someone else. I won't announce who it is here. As for Ye Xiyuan, it was a false identity."

Nangong Xuyao's words were spoken out in front of everyone without any mercy or euphemism, and did not save Ye Xiyuan any face at all.

As for the guests off the court, none of them expected that today they were just here to attend a banquet, and they could hear such exciting things. At the same time, when everyone looked at Ye Xiyuan, their eyes were full of weirdness.

They all heard about Ye Xiyuan's rescue of Nangong Young Master before. At the same time, many of them were lamenting that Ye Xiyuan's luck was really good. She first saved the young master of Nangong, and later saved Mrs. Nangong. This has become a great benefactor of the Nangong family.

But who would have thought that the saviors were all imposters. This courage is indeed quite big, dare to make fun of the young master Nangong.

Ye Xiyuan's face was so pale that it was almost transparent. When she looked at Nangong Xuyao at this moment, her eyes were full of shock. Now she finally knew why Nangong Xuyao's favorability towards her suddenly dropped so much, it turned out to be because of this reason.

What made her even more unexpected was that after learning the truth of the matter, Nangong Xuyao did not come to confront her immediately, but chose to expose this fact in front of so many people on such an important day. Isn't that obviously going to destroy her?

She really didn't expect that Nangong Xuyao would be so ruthless. Even if she really lied to him, isn't there a little bit of affection in their relationship during this period of time?

"Xu Yao!" Murong Yanshu's face was a little dignified, and she said in a deep voice, "Is what you said true?"

"Mother, I won't make jokes about such things," Nangong Xuyao said with seriousness on his face, "This matter is absolutely true. Ye Xiyuan didn't save me when I was injured. It was after someone rescued me that Ye Xiyuan arrived, and then she directly pretended to be the one who saved me."

"No, Brother Nangong, I" Ye Xiyuan tried to defend herself, but she was interrupted by Nangong Xuyao just as she spoke.

"Don't call me Brother Nangong, we don't know each other at all." Nangong Xuyao said coldly, "To put it bluntly, you are just my mother's savior now, and have nothing to do with me."

At this time, when Nangong Xuyao faced Ye Xiyuan, he had long since lost the gentleness of the past, and he looked indifferent and heartless.

Ye Xiyuan has never seen Nangong Xuyao like this. All along, the Nangong Xuyao she faced was gentle and polite, but now she looked at Nangong Xuyao who seemed to be a completely different person, and she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart.

She knew that this was Nangong Xuyao's true face. The young master of a big family cannot be a soft-tempered person.

For a moment, Ye Xiyuan froze. Faced with such a situation, now she doesn't know what to do. She not only shouted to the system in her heart, hoping that the system could help her figure out a solution. But did not get any response.

The people off the court also started to talk about it at this time. Many people looked in the direction of the Ye family, with naked disdain in their eyes.

Originally, everyone did not know the Ye family. But just at the beginning of the banquet, Nayeli swaggered through the market, constantly introducing himself to people. Therefore, many people present knew them.

If Ye Li was so proud just now, he regrets it now. Facing the strange eyes cast by everyone, he really wished that a crack would appear in the ground at this moment, allowing him to slip in.

At this moment, Murong Yanshu on the stage no longer smiled. She glanced at Nangong Xuyao, then turned her head to look at Ye Xiyuan, then walked over again, gave Nangong Xuyao a warning look, and said again, "Guys, I still have some private matters to deal with here, so I won't entertain you all. I hope you all have a good time."

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Nangong Xuyao and Ye Xiyuan, and said, "You two, follow me now."

Soon, Murong Yanshu stepped off the stage first. Nangong Xuyao shrugged his shoulders, looked indifferent, followed behind and left together.

As for Ye Xiyuan, even standing there, she could feel an unprecedented chill. She knew that today she was really finished. In such a grand banquet, such a thing happened, let alone people from the four major families, even people from other first-class families who are not as good as the four major families already know about her.

At that time, if she wants to climb up to other higher family members, I am afraid it will not be so easy.

Also, Murong Yanshu and Nangong Xuyao, she didn't know how to explain it after a while.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiyuan followed behind Murong Yanshu and Nangong Xuyao stiffly. At this moment, she didn't have any blood on her face, and that delicate makeup couldn't cover up her pale face at the moment. If she was high-spirited just now, she can be described as ashen-faced now.

After the figures of the three disappeared, the banquet hall resumed its bustle. However, it was different from the high-spirited conversation just now, the guests at this moment were all discussing what had just happened. There are even some meddlesome people who are speculating whether the banquet tonight will be done or not, whether Mrs. Nangong will continue to accept Ye Xiyuan as her goddaughter.

Hearing everyone's discussion and undisguised scrutiny, Ye Li's anger became more and more intense.

He didn't dare to open his mouth to refute others, because there was no one present that he could afford to offend. Especially, the current Ye Xiyuan has already offended the Nangong family.

In the end, he could only hold back his anger, and walked away directly.

Chen Wanqin looked at Ye Li who was about to leave, and hesitantly said, "Husband, if we leave like this, what should Xiyuan do?"

Is this going to leave Xiyuan alone? Isn't that bad! Especially after such a thing happened just now, I don't know how Mrs. Nangong will treat Xiyuan. As parents, it is not appropriate for them to leave at this time.

"Yes! Dad, otherwise, we'd better wait for Xiyuan!" Ye Anyun also spoke.

"What are you waiting for! What is there to wait for?" Ye Li was full of anger as soon as he opened his mouth, "Are we standing here, are we being treated like clowns? That wicked girl did such a thing, which made our family lose face. Now is it possible that we continue to wait here for her? Waiting for her to come out together to embarrass myself?"

If he said how proud he was of this daughter before, how angry he is now. Even thinking of Ye Leng'an who was by Huangfu Ruiling's side at this moment, he felt a little bit regretful, was he wrong at the beginning, the daughter he should have kept was Ye Leng'an, not Ye Xiyuan!

If the daughter who stays with her now is Ye Leng'an, then the Huangfu family will be the ones their family can climb up now.

Especially when he was dealing with those people just now, he also got a very important news. That is, in the near future, Huangfu Ruiling will take over the position of head of the Huangfu family. If Ye Leng'an is still his daughter now, then maybe the head of the Huangfu family will be his son-in-law by then.

When he thought of this, he regretted it very much.

"Husband, there may be some misunderstanding!" Chen Wanqin tried to defend Ye Xiyuan, "What kind of person is Xiyuan, don't you know? She would never do such a thing."

"I really don't know what kind of person she is!" Ye Li said indifferently, "How long has she been back! How can I understand her?"

"I don't know what kind of person Nangong Young Master is, but I know that if there is no real evidence, he will not say such a thing. Unexpectedly, this daughter of mine is really amazing! She can even brush Nangong Young Master around."

Chen Wanqin opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

Ye Li ignored Chen Wanqin, turned around and left.

Chen Wanqin looked at the direction Ye Xiyuan was leaving, and then at Ye Li's back, who didn't look back. In the end, she had no choice but to follow and leave.

Ye Anyun sighed, turned around, and followed in the footsteps of his parents.

Ye Leng'an, who had been watching the Ye family's family not far away, couldn't help but twitch a sarcasm when he saw that the whole family left directly.

"What are you looking at?" Huangfu Ruiling directly stretched out his hand, took Ye Leng'an's hand, and asked, "What's so interesting about that family?"

"It's really nothing to see." Ye Leng'an curled her lips and said, "It's just a little cold-blooded and ruthless, and there is really nothing to see. I just don't know. When Ye Xiyuan comes out, she sees that her family has all left. How do you feel about it?"

She has already experienced the cold-blooded and ruthless Ye family.

Yeli is definitely the most realistic person. In his eyes, as long as there is value for use, then he will treat it well. Ye Li has always been kind to Ye Xiyuan not only because Ye Xiyuan is his daughter, but also because Ye Xiyuan has performed well in all aspects. Later, he climbed up to the Nangong family.

However, now Ye Xiyuan has clearly offended the Nangong family. At this time, in Ye Li's eyes, Ye Xiyuan might have become a waste, a sinner!

As for Chen Wanqin, although she has a motherly heart, she is very weak-tempered, and most of the time she obeys Ye Li's arrangements. Just like now, even though she was worried about Ye Xiyuan, she still chose to leave with Ye Li in the end.

Ye Anyun is even weaker. Even though he is the only male in the Ye family, he has no responsibility at all.

"This is the reality." Huangfu Ruiling said flatly, "If everything goes well at the banquet tonight, then they should have a proud attitude now."

Ye Leng'an nodded in agreement, and then couldn't help sighing, "I really didn't expect that Nangong Xuyao would choose to go on stage and expose Ye Xiyuan's lies on such an occasion today. The timing is absolutely perfect."

If it is said that this is revenge against Ye Xiyuan. Then she can only say that this revenge is really cruel enough.

"Nangong Xuyao was not a kind person in the first place." Huangfu Ruiling continued, "Even if he is the only son of the current Patriarch of the Nangong family, if he is not strong enough, it is impossible for him to secure the position of young master. How can such a person be indecisive! I am afraid that since he knew Ye Xiyuan lied to him, he has already planned everything for today."

"He is indeed a ruthless person." Ye Leng'an nodded, "However, Ye Xiyuan deserves it for thinking of impersonating her. Since she chose to do it in the first place, she must be aware of the consequences."

Actually, if it wasn't for Huangfu Ruiling's investigation, maybe Ye Xiyuan would have been able to hide things like this all the time.

"After tonight's incident, all the first-class families in the imperial capital probably know about Ye Xiyuan." Huangfu Ruiling said indifferently, "It may not be so easy for her to choose a mate among this group of people in the future."

"Ye Xiyuan's heart is higher than the sky." Ye Leng'an covered her mouth and smiled, "She can't look down on people from ordinary families, otherwise, she wouldn't be hanging on Li Deze like this."

"People with high eyesight and low abilities will not end well." After looking around, Huangfu Ruiling said, "Tonight's banquet should be considered a complete failure."

"Then shall we continue to stay or go back?" Ye Leng'an said with a smile, "If we continue to stay, there shouldn't be much fun!"

"The next thing, Mrs. Nangong will close the door and solve it on her own." Huangfu Ruiling narrowed his eyes, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes, "Furthermore, the big competition of the major families in the hidden world is about to begin. As the young master of the Nangong family in the mortal world, Nangong Xuyao, if there is any mistake at this time, it will not be a trivial matter."

"Is there a family competition?" Ye Leng'an's eyes flashed with interest, "Then, can I take a look at it?"

Speaking of which, although she has registered with the hidden world, she has never been to the hidden world. She has always been very curious about the hidden world.

"Do you want to go?" Huangfu Ruiling was not very surprised, he nodded, "Then, I will arrange for you to go together! At that time, you can go together as a disciple of the Huangfu family!"

"Speaking of which, I'm really curious!" Ye Leng stared at Huangfu Ruiling steadily, and asked with some doubts, "What kind of status is your Huangfu family in the hidden world!"

Just talking casually like this can put her in, which shows that the status of the Huangfu family in the hidden world is not low. Of course, there is another point, that is, she doesn't think that Huangfu Ruiling is a person who is willing to submit to others.

"I am the patriarch of the Huangfu family." When facing Ye Leng'an, Huangfu Ruiling did not hide anything, "However, only a few elders of the Huangfu family in the hidden world know about this matter, and others do not know."

"Patriarch?" After hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an was very surprised, "You are so young, you can be the Patriarch? Don't they all have any objections?"

Of course, she didn't look down on Huangfu Ruiling, but felt that according to common sense, those old guys should express strong opposition, right? In comparison, although Huangfu Ruiling is powerful, he is still too young, and it is normal to be unconvinced.

"The strong are respected," Huangfu Ruiling's tone was very light, as if he didn't care at all, "As long as they are strong enough, they won't have any opinions. As for those who have opinions, it is impossible to continue to stay in the elder's seat."

Although he is not a tyrant, he will not keep people who are against him everywhere. It's not that she has any tendency to be masochistic, why make things difficult for herself!

Ye Leng'an gave a thumbs up, and then said with great interest, "Then I really want to take a good look at what's going on in this hidden world!"

"En." Seeing Ye Leng'an's appearance, Huangfu Ruiling smiled and nodded.

"Okay, let's go!"

After speaking, Ye Leng'an directly pushed Huangfu Ruiling and left.

Seeing Huangfu Ruiling leave, many guests followed suit.

No matter how you look at it, the banquet should be over in the end. It is impossible for the Nangong family to announce such a big event. As for whether this goddaughter counts in the end, it depends on Mrs. Nangong's final decision.

In the waiting room at this time

Murong Yanshu sat on the sofa with a serious expression on her face. Her sharp eyes fell on Nangong Xuyao and Ye Xiyuan in front of her.

Nangong Xuyao was sitting on the sofa on the other side, with no superfluous expression on his face, it could even be said that there was a trace of solemnity on his face.

Ye Xiyuan was also sitting on another sofa, and her expression was a little cramped at the moment. It can be seen from this that what Nangong Xuyao said had a great influence on her.

At this moment, she was far more anxious than she appeared on the surface. Now she can't contact the system at all, so even though she knows that Murong Yanshu's favorability towards her has dropped, she still doesn't know to what extent it has dropped, which makes her not know how to deal with Murong Yanshu.

After a long time, Murong Yanshu was the first to break the silence in the room, "Xu Yao, what you said on stage just now is true, isn't it?"

Although she already had a definite answer, she still asked again.

"It's true." Nangong Xuyao's sharp eyes fell on Ye Xiyuan, "I've been fooled by her all this time! All along, I thought she was my savior, but she gave the Ye family a lot of benefits! Now that I'm stuck, I'm really being taken advantage of!"

At this time, when Murong Yanshu looked at Ye Xiyuan again, she no longer had the tenderness of the past, and even inadvertently, there was a little more disgust, "Xiyuan, how could you do such a thing?"

"Godmother, I didn't do it on purpose," Ye Xiyuan raised her head with tears on her face, "Back then, when I actually saw Brother Nangong lying there covered in blood, I didn't know what was going on, so I took him to the nearest hotel."

"Then I found that there was no wound on his body. At that time, I felt very strange and planned to leave. However, after Brother Nangong woke up, he immediately assumed that I saved him. I didn't know what was going on at that time, so I agreed directly."

"Ye Xiyuan, so to speak, all of this is my fault!" Nangong Xuyao sneered and said, "It is obvious that you yourself are vain, so you fake this life-saving favor. Speaking of it now, you are very innocent!"

"No, Brother Nangong, I" Ye Xiyuan anxiously wanted to explain, but she was interrupted by Nangong Xuyao just as she spoke.

"Just now, I already said, don't call me brother, I'm not your brother." Nangong Xuyao looked at Ye Xiyuan, and said sarcastically, "Besides, I wouldn't have a sister who is full of lies like you."

Hearing Nangong Xuyao's words, Ye Xiyuan's whole body seemed to have received a huge blow, and tears kept streaming down her face.

The appearance of the pear blossom with tears, as long as a man sees it, he should feel very distressed.

It's a pity that Nangong Xuyao is not a person who cherishes beauty, and at this moment, he hates Ye Xiyuan for playing him like a fool. Therefore, when he saw Ye Xiyuan's tears, he didn't feel any pity, but disgust.

"Okay, Xiyuan, let me send you back first!" Murong Yanshu looked at Ye Xiyuan, and said patiently, "You should take a good rest when you go back! No matter what, you are my goddaughter, and this will never change."

Although something like this happened, she really didn't want Ye Xiyuan, the so-called goddaughter, at all. However, in front of so many people today, she had just announced that Ye Xiyuan was her goddaughter, and if she suddenly backtracked, it would only be a joke.

Moreover, even if the fact that Ye Xiyuan saved Xu Yao was false, but the fact that she saved her was true, and she was rescued under the noses of so many people, she could not avenge her kindness.

So, Ye Xiyuan's goddaughter, whether she likes it or not, is already a certainty.

However, fortunately, she adopted her goddaughter in her own name, not in the name of the Nangong family. Otherwise, it will be difficult now.
