“Are you mocking me?”
“I’m not mocking you. I just think your words are quite funny.” Ye Lengan did not back down at all. Facing Zhongyu Liuyings anger, her expression did not change. In fact, there was even a smile at the corner of her lips. “Don’t you
think what you just said is really funny? You know very well why you came
here. Since you have a request, you should act accordingly instead of putting on an arrogant attitude to try to conceal your guilty conscience.”
“What do I have to feel guilty about?” Zhongyu Liuyings voice immediately rose in jealousy. “Ye Lengan, don’t go too far. No matter what, I am Ruilings mother. If he finds out about your attitude towards me now, aren’t you afraid of how he’ll react?”
“Why should I be afraid of him finding out?” Ye Lengan found this amusing. “If he really defends you indiscriminately, then it can only mean he’s not suitable for me. As for my attitude towards you, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. I’m a very fair person. I treat others the way they treat me. If you feel my attitude towards you is not good, then you don’t need to continue enduring it here.”
Hearing Ye Lengan essentially dismiss her, Zhongyu Liuying was filled with resentment. She really wanted to just get up and leave, rather than keep listening to Ye Leng’an’s aggravating words.
But no, she couldn’t leave now.
Huangfu Ruilings attitude was very firm. He would absolutely not change his mind. Although she was very unwilling to admit it, as his parents, they really didn’t hold much sway over Huangfu Ruilings heart.
Just as Huangfu Ruixiang had said, the only person who could change Huangfu Ruiling now was Ye Lengan. Therefore, no matter what, she had to persuade Ye Lengan today.
Otherwise, she would no longer be the matriarch of the Huangfu family, and would no longer be able to represent the Huangfu family. If that really happened, she didn’t even know how she would face the ridicule of the other wealthy ladies.
Taking a deep breath, Zhongyu Liuying finally dropped her superior posture and spoke with a hint of vulnerability in her tone. “Ye Lengan, I know my attitude has been really bad, and it’s only natural that you’re upset. But as an elder, can’t you give in a little to me? No matter what, I am Ruilings mother. You’re someone he cares for deeply. I think he would also hope we could get along well! I’m not asking you to do anything too extreme, just to say a few words to Ruiling. Of course, as long as you’re willing to persuade him a little.
As for the result, we won’t force it.’
Seeing Zhongyu Liuying momentarily display a rare moment of vulnerability, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but marvel at it inwardly.
As expected of someone who had experienced many ups and downs over the years. Zhongyu Liuying’s ability to adapt to different situations was awesome. However, this also showed how much Huangfu Jingzhang valued the position of the family head. Even someone like Zhongyu Liuying, who used to look down on her, can now bow her head in her presence.
It seemed that the allure of self-interest was indeed a powerful motivator, and that statement held true!
Huangfu Ruilings move indeed seemed to be a severe blow, as it took away the position of the family head. For Huangfu Jingzhang and his wife, this must be an incredibly painful situation, perhaps even more so than death.
Unfortunately…
Under Zhongyu Liuyings gaze, Ye Lengan just shook her head. “Mrs. Huangfu, no matter what you say today, I won’t agree. My attitude and position are aligned with Huangfu Ruiling. So instead of trying to persuade me here, you might as well go and find Ruiling directly.”
In Zhongyu Liuyings eyes, Ye Leng’an’s words were a naked humiliation. She hadn’t expected that even after lowering herself so much, Ye Lengan would still reject her. Wasn’t this completely looking down on her and making fun of her?
“Ye Lengan!” There was considerable resentment in Zhongyu Liuyings tone. “So you’ve been toying with me all along, is that it? You’re just trying to get back at me for trying to break you and Ruiling up before?”
“You’re really overthinking things.” Ye Lengan couldn’t help but roll her eyes. Then she snapped irritably, “From the beginning, my stance has been clear, and I won’t agree to your request.. After that, you insisted on persuading me, what does it have to do with me? You can’t get angry just because I won’t agree with you!’
