This was utterly unacceptable to her. Throughout, she had treated Zhongyu Yiran as her own daughter. She had even contemplated that after Ruilings marriage, he could accept Yiran as his lover.

However, what she had just witnessed was beyond belief. Li Yiran slept with her youngest son. Previously, Li Yiran had shown a strong interest in Huangfu Ruiling. But now, she suddenly became entangled with Ruixiang. Wasn’t she playing around with her two sons?

This was something she simply couldn’t tolerate. She even felt that if Li Yiran continued to bear the surname Zhongyu, it would be an insult to the family name.

Zhongyu Yiran, or rather, Li Yiran now, heard Zhongyu Liuyings words and her face turned pale in an instant. She certainly didn’t miss Zhongyu Liuyings address to her.

She had acquired the surname Zhongyu by currying favor with Zhongyu Liuying. But now, Zhongyu Liuying had stripped her of this surname, which was also evident that Zhongyu Liuying harbored deep hatred for her.

“Could someone please tell me what exactly happened?” Huangfu Ruiling paid no attention to Zhongyu Liuying and asked, “Huangfu Ruixiang, you speak.

What happened?”

“Um…” Huangfu Ruixiang looked troubled. “Honestly, I don’t remember it clearly. I just recall being quite drunk. After I entered the room, I noticed there was a woman in bed. Then, in a moment of impulsiveness…”

“This must have been Li Yiran’s scheme,” Zhongyu Liuying interjected before Huangfu Ruixiang could finish. “She plotted to get into Ruixiangs bed to marry into our Huangfu family.”

“No, that’s not true!” Li Yiran looked distressed as she swiftly defended herself. “l was resting in my room at the time. But Ruixiang suddenly barged in, and then… I tried to resist, but Ruixiangs strength was overpowering, and I couldn’t fight back.”

“B*tch.’! Unable to contain her anger upon hearing this, Zhongyu Liuying stood up and slapped Li Yiran. “You were the one who lured Ruixiang, yet now you speak as if you’re a victim. I must’ve been blind to keep a wretch like you by my side.”

“No, Auntie, that’s not true.” Li Yiran shook her head repeatedly, tears streaming down her cheeks.

“Enough, Mom.”

At this point, Huangfu Ruixiang stood up and pulled Li Yiran behind him. He spoke, “We haven’t fully grasped the situation. There’s no need to get worked up.”

Li Yiran stood behind Huangfu Ruixiang with her head bowed, her facial expression hidden. At this moment, she was filled with uncertainty. Everything had played out quite differently from her expectations. She had believed that after sharing a bed with Huangfu Ruixiang and making a scandal, he would marry her.

She could tell that Huangfu Ruixiang held a favorable impression of her. That was why she had orchestrated everything. However, the events that had unfolded had taken her by surprise. Despite the incident, Huangfu Ruixiang had never mentioned taking responsibility and hadn’t even intervened when Zhongyu Liuying slapped her. Though he was standing in front of her now, he remained silent.

“Ruiling, this situation must be resolved promptly,” Huangfu Jingzhang spoke up. He glanced at Li Yiran, who stood behind Huangfu Ruixiang, his eyes betraying a hint of disdain. “Give Li Yiran some money and send her away!’

He didn’t have a deep impression of Li Yiran. Previously, she had frequently sought to curry favor with Zhongyu Liuying by following her around. He hadn’t paid it much mind. To him, it was simply the addition of one more person.

But now, Li Yiran was involved with Huangfu Ruixiang. This was unacceptable to him. A lowly girl like her could never marry into the Huangfu family.

Fortunately, from the beginning until now, Ruixiang had never expressed any intention to marry Li Yiran. In this respect, he was quite satisfied. At least, his son remained clear-headed and understood the type of person suitable for a partner.

“No, I don’t want to leave.” Li Yiran reached out and tightly grabbed Huangfu Ruixiangs hand, pleading, “Ruixiang, please don’t send me away. Let me stay by your side. I’m willing to do anything you ask.”

At this moment, she felt a great sense of insecurity. She realized that everything was different from her plans. She had assumed that Huangfu Ruixiang would definitely react in some way.

She knew that one way or another, she couldn’t be sent away. If she were sent away now, her chances of ever entering the Huangfu family would be completely dashed.

Huangfu Ruixiang turned his head and looked at Li Yiran with teary eyes. He couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. He reached out his hand to wipe her tears.

However, just as he made his move, Zhongyu Liuying yanked him away.

“Li Yiran, you’re right in front of us, yet you dare to seduce Ruixiang,”

Zhongyu Liuying sneered. “Let me tell you, don’t think that by manipulating Ruixiang, you can marry into the Huangfu family. It’s impossible. An orphan like you dreaming of becoming the young mistress of the Huangfu family is absurd.’

“I didn’t do that. I really didn’t.” Li Yiran vehemently shook her head, attempting to refute Zhongyu Liuyings accusations.

On the side, Ye Leng’an was watching with great interest. This was like a real-life melodrama within an affluent family! She hadn’t forgotten the bet she had with Huangfu Ruiling. However, from the current perspective, her odds of winning seemed slim.

Huangfu Ruixiang didn’t seem to have any intention of marrying Li Yiran. It appeared that Li Yiran was truly too hasty, acting recklessly without fully understanding what Huangfu Ruixiang thought of her. It was turning into a disastrous misadventure.

“Ruiling, say something!” Zhongyu Liuying turned to Huangfu Ruiling and urged, “Give the order now to send Li Yiran away. Just seeing her makes me uncomfortable.’

Huangfu Ruiling paid no heed to Zhongyu Liuying and looked at Huangfu Ruixiang, saying, “You’re one of the parties involved. Now, tell me your thoughts.”

Li Yiran immediately lifted her head and gazed at Huangfu Ruixiang expectantly, waiting for him to say what she desperately wanted to hear.

At this moment, she was incredibly anxious. She knew that Huangfu

Ruixiangs next words would determine her fate. If Huangfu Ruixiang truly abandoned her, she would be sent away, and her chances of ever entering the Huangfu family would be gone forever..
