Chapter 298 Pay the price

The engagement ceremony of the head of the Huangfu family is considered a relatively important event in the hidden world. People from the major families have also received invitations one after another. Only the Ye family has not received the invitation sent by the Huangfu family for a long time.

"Go down!" Ye Hongxuan waved his hand, letting the disciple go down first.

This is the third time today that he has had someone come over to ask if the post from the Huangfu family has been delivered. After getting a negative answer again, he looked very worried.

After the disciple went down, Lian Mengzhu had a sad expression on her face. She raised her head and looked at Ye Hongxuan. After thinking about it, she said, "Hongxuan, tell me, the Huangfu family is not going to give us invitations anymore?"

She knew that it was impossible for them to attend Ye Leng'an's engagement ceremony in the name of their parents. However, they didn't expect that they didn't even have the qualifications to attend. Such a fact made her unacceptable.

"No." Although he said this, Ye Hongxuan seemed to have no confidence in his heart, "It may be that the invitation has not been delivered yet. The Ye family is an alchemy family, and it is one of the top ten families together with the Huangfu family. Even if the Huangfu family is very powerful now, it is impossible to completely ignore the Ye family. Therefore, the invitation will definitely be sent."

In this case, he didn't know whether he was telling his wife or himself.

"But" Lian Mengzhu's expression was filled with a hint of sadness, "The other major families have already received the invitations from the Huangfu family, and even some small families have received invitations, but there seems to be no movement on our side. Isn't this a bit unusual?"

She is really worried. Now that the day of engagement is getting closer, but the Huangfu family doesn't seem to have any plans to send invitations to the Ye family. How can this make her not anxious?

Ye Hongxuan couldn't help but sighed, but didn't say anything. After all, the current him is also very uncertain.

"Hongxuan, tell me" Lian Mengzhu asked tentatively after thinking for a while, "Should we send someone to the Huangfu family to ask if they have forgotten the invitation from our Ye family?"

"Impossible." Ye Hongxuan rejected Lian Mengzhu's proposal without hesitation, "It is impossible for us to do that, and my father will not allow it. If we send someone to the Huangfu family at this time, no matter what, our Ye family will lose face in the end."

If the Huangfu family really forgot, that's okay. However, if the Huangfu family hadn't planned to send invitations to the Ye family in the first place, then they would only humiliate themselves if they came to the door.

Because of what happened last time, my father is still brooding in his heart. If there are any rumors that are not good for the Ye family at this time, my father will definitely be angry. At that time, it will be them who are unlucky.

"However, if the Ye family doesn't receive the invitation this time, wouldn't we not even be able to attend the engagement ceremony of our own daughter?" Lian Mengzhu's tone was a little choked up, "Besides, if the Huangfu family really doesn't plan to invite the Ye family this time, then rumors will be flying everywhere! Everyone will guess whether our Ye family and the Huangfu family have fallen out."

"We can't do anything now, we can only continue to wait." Ye Hongxuan said helplessly, "No matter what we do, it is wrong, so let's wait and see!"

"Then if the Huangfu family doesn't give us an invitation, then we" Lian Mengzhu almost couldn't continue, she took a deep breath, tried to suppress her inner sadness, and then continued, "Will we not be able to attend Leng An's engagement ceremony?"

Hearing his wife's question, Ye Hongxuan couldn't answer and could only choose to remain silent.

For a while, the atmosphere was extremely silent, and it could even be said to be dull.

"Don't overthink it,"

In the end, Ye Hongxuan still tried to comfort her, "Even if we can't attend this time, it won't change the blood relationship between us. She may still have opinions on us now, but time will heal everything."

"I won't." Lian Mengzhu murmured in a low voice, "I'm afraid Leng An won't come back to Ye's house, and father won't let her come back either."

"Yes, father will." Ye Hongxuan said with certainty, "As long as Leng An becomes the head mother of the Huangfu family, father will definitely let Leng An come back."

He knows his father very well, and everything is in the interests of the family. As long as Leng An can bring benefits to the Ye family, then his father will definitely compromise in the end.

Lian Mengzhu didn't say anything more, and she didn't know what she was thinking at the moment.

"By the way, how is Wanwan going?" Ye Hongxuan suddenly asked, "Have you visited her in the past two days?"

"I've been there a few times, and Wanwan's condition is much better than the previous few days, but her body is still very weak." Lian Mengzhu said, "She suffered a lot this time. Moreover, because her dantian was destroyed, Wanwan now has no way to heal herself, and there is no way to take many pills. I'm afraid it will take a long time to recover."

When she said this, she paused for a moment, thought for a while, and finally continued, "Leng An is really a bit too ruthless this time. Although Wanwan has occupied her position for so many years, the culprit in this matter is Lian Zixin. Wanwan is also considered innocent, and she couldn't help herself back then."

Although Ye Leng'an said that it was because Wan Wan wanted to harm her that he took action to destroy Wan Wan's dantian.

However, she still doesn't quite believe this. Wan Wan was raised by her, not such a vicious child, there must be a misunderstanding in this.

It's a pity that Leng An was too impulsive, so he directly laid such a heavy hand on Wanwan.

"You don't want to say these things in front of Leng An." Ye Hongxuan reminded, "The relationship between her and Wanwan is not good. If you still hear such things, I'm afraid you will hate Wanwan even more. At that time, it will be even more difficult for the two of them to coexist peacefully."

"I know." Lian Mengzhu nodded, and then as if thinking of something, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, "If Lian Zixin hadn't dropped Leng An, Leng An wouldn't be like this now."

"Lian Zixin, I won't let her go." Ye Hongxuan's eyes flashed a cold light, "She must pay the due price for what she has done."
