“Since Huangfu Ruixiang’s still capable of bearing children, what’s the point of claiming to be the only son!” Ye Leng’an sneered, breaking the silence. “If he’s no longer the only son, what’s there left to fight for? Isn’t this just a waste of everyone’s time?”

Her words instantly left Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying speechless.

Watching from the sidelines, Zhong Yating felt a sense of satisfaction. Yet, she couldn’t help but shoot a disdainful glance at Huangfu Ruixiang standing beside her.

Despite orchestrating events to secure a wealthy life with Huangfu Ruixiang, she couldn’t help but look down on him now. Despite whatever intentions his parents might have had in confronting Huangfu Ruiling here, it was ultimately Huangfu Ruixiang’s son who benefited. Yet, Huangfu Ruixiang remained silent, seemingly indifferent.

She once believed Huangfu Ruixiang harbored some affection for his only son. But seeing his apathetic demeanor now, she realized he was truly selfish. In his eyes, he would always be the most important person.

Nevertheless, she wasn’t disappointed. She no longer harbored deep feelings for Huangfu Ruixiang. Her desire to marry him was solely to elevate her status in the Huangfu family and live a dream life.

Given her mindset, the current situation was most favorable for her.

After today’s spectacle, Li Yiran would have no grounds to flaunt herself in front of her.

Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying were visibly livid, their faces flushed with embarrassment. Being treated this way by a junior in front of everyone was a humiliation.

Huangfu Jingzhang was on the brink of losing his composure. Ignoring Ye Leng’an, he pointed directly at Huangfu Ruiling, his voice unwavering. “Huangfu Ruiling, no matter what, I will ensure this child is recorded in the family tree today. If you dare to intervene, you will cease to be my son.”

Huangfu Jingzhang’s anger clouded his judgment. All he desired now was to salvage his pride. Otherwise, he’d never be able to hold his head high in the Huangfu family again.

“Brother, please refrain from speaking rashly.”

Seeing things spiraling out of control, Huangfu Jingxian stepped forward, grasping Huangfu Jingzhang’s arm, and whispered, “Calm down. Let’s not create a scene on such an occasion.”

He turned to Huangfu Ruiling with a smile. “Ruiling, your father is just overly anxious, he means no harm. It’s simply a matter of familial love! He adores his grandson too much, hence his words.”

If the person before him wasn’t his elder brother, he’d rather not get involved. Even though he was his brother, he couldn’t help but sigh. This was utter foolishness!

If he had an outstanding son like Huangfu Ruiling, he’d surely cherish him. But his brother’s behavior was incomprehensible. Constantly opposing Huangfu Ruiling, who wasn’t one to tolerate such behavior.

His brother was truly inviting trouble!

Clearly, Huangfu Jingzhang was too enraged to heed Huangfu Jingxian’s advice. Before he could speak, Huangfu Ruiling interrupted.

“If you don’t want to acknowledge me as your son, then I don’t care.” Huangfu Ruiling’s icy words pierced the air. “If you persist, I can erase your name from the family tree today, and we’ll have no relationship whatsoever in the future.”

The frigid tone sent a chill through the crowd, lowering the temperature several degrees. Many couldn’t help but shiver involuntarily.

All eyes were on Huangfu Jingzhang, waiting for his response. Deep down, everyone knew he wouldn’t want to lose Huangfu Ruiling.

Huangfu Jingzhang finally regained his senses. He shivered, regretting his earlier outburst. He couldn’t figure out how to respond now. Anything he said would be wrong. His anger had led him to speak rashly, and now he regretted it. But under the scrutiny of the crowd, he couldn’t bring himself to yield to Huangfu Ruiling.

Yet, he still harbored resentment toward Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an. How could they be so aggressive as juniors?

Seeing Huangfu Jingzhang’s silence, Huangfu Ruiling’s cold voice cut through the tension. “What’s your decision?”

Huangfu Jingzhang was taken aback by Huangfu Ruiling’s persistence. He looked into Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes, only to see an icy resolve.

He realized Huangfu Ruiling wasn’t jesting. He genuinely sought a clear answer. If he chose Li Yiran’s child today, his name would indeed be erased from the family tree.

The realization filled Huangfu Jingzhang with dread. He couldn’t bear the thought of losing his status in the Huangfu family.

Despite his embarrassment, Huangfu Jingzhang took a deep breath, clenched his teeth, and confessed, “I didn’t consider the matter thoroughly today. An illegitimate child indeed has no place in the family tree.”

His words were met with disdainful glances from the onlookers.

Zhongyu Liuying dared not speak, fearing Huangfu Ruiling might expunge her name from the family tree too.

As Huangfu Jingzhang finished speaking, Li Yiran closed her eyes, concealing the hatred within her. Though she anticipated Huangfu Jingzhang’s choice, hearing it still filled her with resentment. Especially when he mentioned “illegitimate child,” her hatred surged like an unstoppable tide.

Yet, the die had been cast. She had no power to alter the outcome. And she lamented her failure. Despite her efforts, she couldn’t secure her son’s place in the family tree.
