Chapter 176 Gloating

"Sister-in-law?" After hearing Ye Leng'an's words, Huangfu Ruiling raised his eyebrows, "Unexpectedly, An An has already thought about marrying me in the future. It seems that she can't wait!"

Hearing Huangfu Ruiling's words, Ye Leng'an's cheeks became hot, and then she stretched out her hand towards Huangfu Ruiling's waist, and then directly pinched a piece of soft meat, made a 180-degree turn, and then said with a fake smile, "Yes! I can't wait, so are you happy?"

As if he didn't feel the pain coming from his waist at all, Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng'an, without the hippie smile just now, and even with a trace of seriousness, he went straight forward, and then leaned into Ye Leng'an's ear, and said in a deep magnetic voice, "I'm very happy."

Listening to the deep voice coming out of her ears, Ye Leng'an felt her cheeks getting hotter. Even if she didn't see it, she could know that her face must be red at the moment.

"Okay, let's not talk about that." Ye Leng'an hurriedly changed the subject, "Why do you think that Zhong Yuyiran can't be Huangfu Ruixiang's wife! I think they two are pretty good! Maybe soon, she will marry your brother."

"It's impossible." Huangfu Ruiling said with certainty, "It's absolutely impossible for my parents to let Huangfu Ruixiang marry Zhong Yuyiran. Maybe it's okay to be a lover outside."

"Then Zhong Yuyiran's methods are not low." Ye Leng'an shook her head, "And, if you really want to get married at that time, the most important thing is Huangfu Ruixiang's attitude, isn't it? If he insists, the result may be uncertain."

"Do you want to bet?" Huangfu Ruiling looked at Ye Leng'an and said, "Just bet on whether Zhong Yuyiran can enter the gate of Huangfu's family."

"What you said is that the Ming matchmaker is getting married, right?" Ye Leng'an raised his eyebrows, and was about to ask, "Then what's the bet?"

"If I win, you will promise me one request." Huangfu Ruiling's eyes flashed a gloomy look, and then he said, "In contrast, if you win, I will promise you one request, how about it?"

"Yes." Ye Leng'an agreed without hesitation, but then she also made a request, "There is another prerequisite, that is, you can't get involved in cheating!"

"Don't worry, I won't interfere." Huangfu Ruiling said, "I won't interfere too much in their affairs. If they want to get married, then I won't object. If they don't want to get married, I won't force it."

Ye Leng'an nodded.

Soon, Li San came back with the movie ticket.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time for the banquet where the head of the Huangfu family was handed over. From early in the morning, those families who received the invitation letter have already started to arrange to attend the banquet in the evening.

You know, this is not an ordinary banquet, but a banquet for the Huangfu family to change their heads. Although the Huangfu family is also one of the four major families, its strength is faintly higher than the other three families. Previously, I had always heard that most of the power of the Huangfu family was already in the hands of the young master Huangfu Ruiling. However, on the bright side, the Patriarch is still Huangfu Jingzhang.

However, who would have thought that there would be news that the Huangfu family would change the head of the family suddenly! Such sudden news surprised everyone. However, this is an internal matter of the Huangfu family, and it is not something they can inquire about.

During this period of time, almost all the upper-class families in the imperial capital were proud to receive invitations from the Huangfu family. Many people even try their best to ask someone to find a relationship, just to be able to receive an invitation letter.

In the evening, almost everyone who was invited had arrived early. On such a day, they dare not be late.

Ye Leng'an naturally attended the banquet this time. She did not run around, and followed Huangfu Ruiling all the time.

When seeing the existence of Ye Leng'an, many people were a little surprised. However, after thinking about it, I felt that there seemed to be nothing strange about it. At the banquet held by the Nangong family before, many people heard Huangfu Ruiling personally admit the fact that Ye Leng'an was his girlfriend. So it is normal for Ye Leng'an to appear on an occasion like tonight.

As one of the protagonists, Huangfu Jingzhang must also be present. However, his complexion was not good, and there was no smile on his face from the beginning to the end. Let people know at a glance, the gloom in his heart at the moment.

Zhong Yuliuying, who had been standing by his side all the time, was not much better. Even with thick makeup on, it still couldn't cover the haggard look on her face.

Huangfu Jingzhang will lose his position as the head of the family tonight, and likewise, it is impossible for her to be the head of the Huangfu family anymore. In the future, those noble ladies who often gather together will no longer hold her like before.

If it is said that the person who will take over the position of Patriarch tonight is Ruixiang, then her mood will definitely be completely different from what she is now. It is indeed much better for the son to be the head of the house than for the husband to be the head of the house. Like why so many people want to be queen mother.

However, Huangfu Ruiling, who is about to take over as the head of the family, has been cold-hearted since he was a child, and he doesn't have any warmth towards her as a mother. If such a person takes over as Patriarch, one can imagine her future situation.

As long as she thinks of this, she feels very uncomfortable in her heart. If it was possible, she really wished that, now that Huangfu Ruiling had an accident, then whether the seat of Patriarch belonged to Huangfu Jingzhang or to Huangfu Ruixiang, that would be fine.

Unfortunately, she can only think about it, and it is definitely impossible to realize it.

After Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an entered the venue, they went directly to the lounge.

Ye Leng'an stayed by Huangfu Ruiling's side, sitting on the chair next to Huangfu Ruiling. She was looking at the situation inside through the monitoring of the venue at the moment, when she suddenly saw a familiar figure.

"Huh?" Ye Leng'an stared at one of the positions in the surveillance, and murmured to himself with some doubts, "Why did he come here?"

"Who are you talking about?" Huangfu Ruiling followed Ye Leng'an's line of sight, and then smiled and explained, "Sheng'an Middle School is a noble school, why do you think he can sit firmly as the principal! This is also because of family factors. Although the Zheng family is not as good as the four major families, it is also a famous first-class family in the imperial capital."

That's right, the person Ye Lengan sees at this moment is the principal of their school. Before that, she never knew that their principal also came from a famous family! No wonder he was able to sit firmly on the principal's throne, and he was not afraid of any students in the school.

"That was really beyond my expectation!" Ye Leng'an's tone could not hide her surprise, "When I was in school before, I really couldn't see it at all!"

"Actually, quite a few people in the upper class know about it." Huangfu Ruiling explained, "However, you were in the Ye family before, and the Ye family didn't reach this level, so you don't know much about it."

Ye Leng'an nodded and said nothing more.

Inside the venue

"Sister-in-law, you don't look very well!" Nangong Xiyu looked at Zhong Yuliuying with concern, but couldn't hide the gloating in her eyes, "Today is a good day! You should be happy!"

Unexpectedly, this Zhong Yuliuying also has today! In the past, Zhong Yuliuying had always relied on her status as the wife of the head of the family, and looked down on her status as a collateral branch of the Nangong family, and often ran against her inside and out.

Now is good, this Huangfu Jingzhang will no longer be the head of the family soon, and even lose the identity of Zhong Yuliuying's mistress, which is really very satisfying!

"Sister and sister, you think too much, I'm fine." Zhong Yuliuying naturally knew that Nangong Xiyu was watching her as a joke, but she would not let the other party be proud, "Today is Rui Ling taking over the position of Patriarch, so I am naturally happy. From now on, Patriarch will be my son, how could I be unhappy!"

She just wants to let the other party know that even though her husband has stepped down as the head of the family now, it is her son who takes the position of head of the house. No matter what, Nangong Xiyu is absolutely inferior to her. Even if she is not the mistress of the Huangfu family, she is the mother of the head of the family.

"That's good." Nangong Xiyu covered her face with a smile, and continued, "I thought you couldn't think about it all this time! I heard that you and your elder brother have been looking for Ruiling all this time, trying to make him change his mind!"

She didn't believe Zhong Yuliuying's words at all. Who doesn't know that the relationship between Zhong Yuliuying and Huangfu Ruiling is not good at all! Not only her, but also Huangfu Jingzhang. In addition, after such a thing happened back then, Huangfu Ruiling probably didn't have any feelings for the parents.

However, before, although Huangfu Ruiling held great power, he didn't think about taking the position of Patriarch. I don't know why, but recently, he suddenly changed his mind and pulled Huangfu Jingzhang from the position of Patriarch.

Hearing Nangong Xiyu's words, Zhong Yuliuying's face froze. After she stretched out her hand to pat her hair, she smiled and said, "Your brother and sister have made a mistake. We went to Ruiling just to discuss the handover of the Patriarch. Besides, we are his parents, so isn't it normal to go to him? I don't know if someone who doesn't know the situation is gossiping and misunderstood you."

"So that's how it is! It seems that I made a mistake!" Nangong Xiyu sneered once, "However, sister-in-law, now that the elder brother has stepped down from the position of the head of the family, you have also removed the position of the mistress. From now on, you can enjoy your happiness, and you don't need to worry about those things in the family!"

She didn't believe that Zhong Yuliuying really didn't value the power in her hands at all. Zhong Yuliuying has always been proud of being the mistress.

You must know that although Huangfu Ruiling has already taken away most of the family's power, he doesn't pay much attention to the power in the inner house. Therefore, the power of Mistress Zhong Yuliuying is firmly in her hands. However, all these powers in his hands are now about to be handed over.

Compared to Huangfu Jingzhang who only lost a title, Zhong Yuliuying lost not only a title, but also real power. She couldn't believe that Zhong Yuliuying was as calm as he appeared on the surface.

Sure enough, after hearing Nangong Xiyu's words, a gloomy look flashed across Zhong Yuliuying's face, but she still forced a smile, "My brother and sister are thinking too much, although Rui Ling has already taken over the position of Patriarch. But he is not married yet. I still have to continue to take care of the inner house for him."

No matter what, she was unwilling to let go of the power in her hands. Moreover, although Huangfu Ruiling was going to take over the position of Patriarch, he never said how to deal with the inner house. Then, as the mother of the head of the family, she should share his worries, shouldn't she?

Thinking of this, Zhong Yuliuying seemed to be a little more confident.

Hearing Zhong Yuliuying's words, Nangong Xiyu couldn't help cursing shamelessly in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface, "It seems that Ruiling has already made an agreement with you! But, I should ask Ruiling later, after all, such a thing is sloppy!"

She didn't believe that Huangfu Ruiling would always let Zhong Yuliuying take care of the affairs of the back house.

"No need." Zhong Yuliuying couldn't help raising her voice a few degrees, but then she realized that she was overreacting, she quickly adjusted her expression, and then continued, "Sister and sister, are you doubting what I said? I am Ruiling's mother, this is a fact. Could it be that I can't even take care of the inner house for my son?"

Originally, Huangfu Ruiling probably didn't care about these things, so he didn't mention them. If Nangong Xiyu mentions it, maybe she will really lose the power of the inner house.

Nangong Xiyu's face flashed a trace of disdain, but there was still a smile on her face, "Sister-in-law, I don't doubt you. It's just that we still have to abide by the rules of the Huangfu family. The affairs of the inner house have always been managed by the head of the house. However, if the head of the house hasn't married yet, the head of the house will choose the candidate."

"Although you are the mother of the head of the family, you still have to abide by the rules of the Huangfu family."

Zhong Yuliuying's face immediately became gloomy. When she looked at Nangong Xiyuan, she even had a little threat and warning, "Sister and sister, I know what you are thinking. But, don't forget, no matter what, Ruiling was born by me, and came out of my stomach. Mother and son have no overnight feud."

Hearing such threatening words, Nangong Xiyu sneered, "Sister-in-law, then you really misunderstood me. I didn't say anything, but I just planned to abide by the rules of the Huangfu family. Of course, if my sister-in-law thinks what I said is wrong, then I can't say anything else. However, there are some things that can be compared clearly. If there is no order from the new head of the house, I don't know whether to listen to you or not. It's gone."

She is not afraid of Zhong Yuliuying! Even if Zhong Yuliuying was Huangfu Ruiling's biological mother, no one in the Huangfu family knew what the relationship between the mother and son was like. If it can be eased, it is impossible to stay frozen there for so many years.

Seeing Nangong Xiyu's schadenfreude look, Zhong Yuliuying gritted her teeth with hatred.

While the two were talking, Huangfu Ruiling also appeared at the banquet again, and the person pushing him at this moment was Ye Leng'an.

All eyes fell on the two involuntarily.

Huangfu Ruiling was sitting in a wheelchair at the moment, and his black tailoring suit seemed to fit him perfectly. The bright and fair face reveals a sharp and cool handsomeness; the black eyes glow with luster; the thick eyebrows, the high nose, and the beautiful lip shape all exude nobility and elegance. Even sitting in a wheelchair can't hide his elegance.

Ye Leng'an, who was pushing him, was wearing a white evening dress. The long silk dress lightly wrapped her slender body, flowing from her body to the ground like water waves. The tube top long skirt is made of tiny pearls to form small bead flowers, which are scattered on the skirt, elegant and noble. That ethereal temperament and Huangfu Ruiling's aura complemented each other, and they were not at all disadvantaged.

It can be said that these two people are really handsome when they are together. No matter how you look at it, they look like a pair of golden boy and jade girl.

Many women present couldn't help feeling jealous of Ye Leng'an.

After tonight, Huangfu Ruiling is already the official head of the Huangfu family. Looking around, among the first-class families in the imperial capital, there is no such young patriarch.

Now that Huangfu Ruiling is still young, he is already the powerful head of the Huangfu family. This also means that if she can marry Huangfu Ruiling, she will immediately become the head of the Huangfu family. What a temptation this is! Even if Huangfu Ruiling is disabled and needs to sit in a wheelchair, it can't extinguish their raging love.

Moreover, apart from having a disabled leg, Huangfu Ruiling is the best in other aspects. Young, handsome, and powerful. No matter how you look at it, he is the most ideal husband candidate.

However, the person standing next to Huangfu Ruiling is just a little-known person. Not even the daughter of a wealthy family, how can this make them not feel jealous!

Feeling the raging jealousy projected on him by those daughters, Ye Leng'an whispered, "Rui Ling, it seems that you are really a golden son-in-law! Look, how many people in this venue are staring at my position! I think, if eyes can really kill, I should have been hacked to pieces!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Hearing Ye Leng'an's description, Huangfu Ruiling couldn't help frowning, "Those people have nothing to do with me, and you don't need to care about them. If you don't like it, I can ask people to drive them out."

"You mustn't." Ye Leng'an hurriedly stopped, "I'm just joking. On an occasion like today, even if those women are envious and jealous, they can't do anything about me. Moreover, I still enjoy these jealous eyes. It shows that I have good eyesight, so I found a top quality man like you!"

Hearing Ye Leng'an's description of himself, Huangfu Ruiling couldn't help but laugh.

The people below naturally couldn't hear the conversation between Ye Leng'an and Huangfu Ruiling, but they could see their expressions.

When seeing the doting expression on Huangfu Ruiling's face, many young ladies were heartbroken. Originally, they were still thinking about whether they still had a chance. But seeing the expressions of Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng'an when they were talking, they knew that it would be difficult for them to get involved.

Huangfu Jingzhang naturally saw it too, but unlike the others, at this moment he secretly cursed in his heart that he was immoral.

The reason why he lost his position as Patriarch now is because of the existence of Ye Leng'an. So he naturally doesn't have any good feelings for Ye Leng'an.

However, because of Ye Leng'an's incident, he even lost his position as Patriarch. So, even though he was very dissatisfied now, he didn't say much, lest Huangfu Ruiling, a scoundrel, hate him in time.

Today's banquet, Zhong Yuyiran also attended.

At this moment, she was wearing an exquisite dress, which made her already stunning face even more charming. In addition, there is still a trace of sickness on the face, which makes people feel more pity. This also made many men around them a little bit ready to move.

They didn't know Zhong Yuyiran's identity very well, they just knew that she was with Mrs. Huangfu and her surname was Zhong Yu.

This shows that this Zhong Yuyiran should be a member of Zhong Yu's family. Such an identity is naturally a good candidate for marriage. Moreover, the most important thing is that this Zhong Yuyiran is still so beautiful.

Zhong Yuyiran could naturally feel the hot eyes cast by those men, she didn't feel annoyed at all, on the contrary she felt a little complacent.

Because from the eyes of these people, she knew that at this moment, she could definitely attract the attention of men easily.

However, when she saw the intimate interaction between Ye Leng'an and Huangfu Ruiling, she almost gnawed her teeth with jealousy.

But, she calmed down quickly. She knew very well that her goal today was not Huangfu Ruiling, but Huangfu Ruixiang. Moreover, there is only one chance. If this opportunity is lost, it will be almost impossible to have another chance to marry into the Huangfu family in the future.

Moreover, if she fails this time, then she is likely to fall into a place of eternal doom. Because, on Zhong Yuliuying's side, it is absolutely impossible to let her go.

Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in her eyes, and her eyes became firmer.

If the person present was the most shocked, it must be Zheng Anyang.

Originally, he did not attend today's banquet. The current head of the Zheng family is his eldest brother, so such a banquet should naturally be attended by the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Normally, he doesn't like to attend such banquets very much.

It's just that this time, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are abroad, and they really don't have time to come back, so he can only participate.

He never thought that he would meet his student on such an occasion.
