Although Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were deeply displeased by Ye Wanwan’s plot against Ye Leng’an, it didn’t mean they were willing to stand by and watch Ye Leng’an harm Ye Wanwan.

Especially now, it was an undeniable fact that Ye Wanwan was injured, even if it was part of a scheme. The consequences of being injured by Ye Leng’an again were clear.

Immediately, everyone gathered around Ye Wanwan, expressing concern for her injuries.

Ye Hongxuan hastily produced numerous pills and fed them all to Ye Wanwan. However, despite their efforts, her complexion remained grim.

Fortunately, perhaps because Ye Leng’an hadn’t gone for the kill, Ye Wanwan’s injuries, though severe, weren’t life-threatening. Nevertheless, she would require a lengthy period of rest to recuperate properly. Otherwise, there was a risk of leaving underlying health issues.

There was no sympathy on Ye Leng’an’s face. “Ye Wanwan, how are you feeling? You’re the one I injured, so now you can tell everyone that you were hurt by me.”

Ye Wanwan clutched her chest, unable to utter a word. However, her eyes revealed her intense hatred towards Ye Leng’an.

“What, giving up the act?” Ye Leng’an glanced at Ye Wanwan, blinking. She smirked and said, “Haven’t you always enjoyed putting on a show of magnanimity and victimhood in front of everyone? Why not showcase your acting skills now? Although I must admit, you’re more pleasing to the eye like this. Your usual pretense is quite repulsive!”

The onlookers cast complicated glances at Ye Wanwan. Until now, she had always been perceived as gentle, kind, and magnanimous. However, tonight’s events shattered that image for everyone. It seemed this side of Ye Wanwan was also ruthless! Otherwise, why would she harm herself and falsely accuse Ye Leng’an?

Recollections of the previous Family Competition surfaced in everyone’s minds. After that incident, Ye Wanwan had seemed much gentler. Consequently, most had nearly forgotten about it. Now, due to tonight’s events, those memories resurfaced. Everyone was beginning to see Ye Wanwan in a new light.

Though Ye Wanwan was in pain, she could sense the peculiar gazes directed at her. She could almost envision that by tomorrow, news of tonight’s events would spread throughout the entire Hidden World. The image she had worked so hard to maintain and the impression she had finally managed to reverse were now completely shattered.

But what frightened her the most was not knowing how her parents viewed her now. She was also worried about Murong Xingrui’s opinion.

“Leng’an, this is Wanwan’s fault,” Lian Mengzhu couldn’t help but interject. “However, she’s already been punished. There’s no need to kick her while she’s down.”

She too felt that Ye Wanwan’s actions were unjustifiable. However, with Ye Wanwan now injured twice, she might need an extended period of bed rest. This was a severe consequence, and there was no need for Ye Leng’an to continue taunting her.

Moreover, she felt Ye Leng’an’s sudden attack was uncalled for. Though Ye Wanwan was initially at fault, she had been pressured into revealing everything, which completely humiliated her. For Ye Leng’an to strike at this point was a bit much.

Though dissatisfied, she knew Ye Leng’an’s opinion of them had likely soured due to recent events. So, she refrained from blaming her, lest their relationship worsen.

Seeing Lian Mengzhu speak up, Ye Hongxuan immediately cut her off. “Mengzhu, say no more.”

Though Lian Mengzhu didn’t intend her words as reproachful, they sounded like it to outsiders. Hence, his reprimand.

It should be noted that Mengzhu’s words only pushed Ye Leng’an further away.

“Master Ye, Mrs. Ye, now that the truth has come to light, shouldn’t the Ye family also explain to our Huangfu family?” Ye Leng’an changed tack, her expression growing serious. “This matter shouldn’t be taken lightly!”

“There’s no need to blow this out of proportion!” Lian Mengzhu’s tone carried a hint of urgency. “Wanwan has admitted everything, and she’s been injured by you. What more do you want?”

She hadn’t expected Ye Leng’an to escalate the matter to involve both families. If that were the case, even if Wanwan returned to the Ye family, she would undoubtedly still face punishment.

Ye Hongxuan’s expression soured, but he didn’t directly confront Ye Leng’an. Instead, he turned to Huangfu Ruiling. “Master Huangfu, do you share the same view?”

He held onto a glimmer of hope. After all, feuding between two families was no trivial matter. As the head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Ruiling should prioritize the bigger picture, regardless of how much he favored Ye Leng’an!

“What An’an wants is what I want.” Huangfu Ruiling stepped forward, embracing Ye Leng’an. He surveyed the crowd before speaking in a measured tone. “An’an is my fiancée and the matriarch of the Huangfu family. From now on, everything she says and decides represents our Huangfu family.”

At his words, everyone’s eyes widened in astonishment as they reassessed Ye Leng’an’s status within the Huangfu family.

Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an were merely engaged; they weren’t even husband and wife yet. But for Huangfu Ruiling to grant Ye Leng’an full authority to represent the Huangfu family was a significant show of power. Had he thought this through?

Those who had attended Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an’s engagement banquet knew that Huangfu Ruiling doted on Ye Leng’an greatly. However, they hadn’t anticipated his doting to the extent of relinquishing the entire Huangfu family’s authority to her.

It seemed everyone would need to reevaluate Ye Leng’an’s position in Huangfu Ruiling’s heart

At the very least, Ye Leng’an was someone not to be trifled with!

Though in pain, Ye Wanwan remained lucid. Thus, she heard Huangfu Ruiling’s words clearly.

A surge of jealousy towards Ye Leng’an welled up within her. Especially upon hearing Huangfu Ruiling bestow such immense power upon Ye Leng’an, she nearly spat blood once again.
