“If you came here today only to notify me of your decision, then I understand.”
Ye Lengan waved dismissively before asking, “Do you have anything else to
“Ye Lengan, what are you implying?” questioned Zhongyu Liuying, seemingly perplexed at Ye Leng’an’s indifference. “Do you, or do you not harbor feelings for Ruiling? If you do, why do you remain indifferent to my words?”
Ye Lengan responded with a smile, “Why should 1 care? I am indeed fond of him, and naturally, I will also cherish his concerns. But that fondness has a precondition. I will care only about what he cares for. There’s no need for me to bother about what he disregards.”
Zhongyu Liuying seemed taken aback by these words, looking as if she had suffered a significant blow. She appeared tremulous, teetering on the brink of collapsing at any minute.
There was no hint of sympathy on Ye Lengan’s face as she looked at the seemingly pitiful Zhongyu Liuying. Everything had a cause and consequence, and Zhongyu Liuyings current state was undoubtedly the result of her past actions. The pitiful always had a shade of the loathsome.
After a prolonged silence, Zhongyu Liuying managed to regain her composure. Taking a deep breath, she asked Ye Lengan, whose expression was no longer bewildered, “Even if you are indifferent, you can’t deny that we are Ruilings parents. Don’t you wish for our blessings if you two intend to be together?”
Ye Leng’an paused for a moment before responding with a smile, “What does it entail for me to get your blessings?”
“You should know,” Zhongyu Liuying finally broke her silence, “To accommodate you, Ruiling is considering vacating his father’s position as the head of the Huangfu family. This may come across as a rebellion against the world. Moreover, Ruiling is still young. There is no need for him to assume such a position prematurely. He is destined to be the family head eventually. Why rush into it?”
“If you think it’s inappropriate, then speak to him yourself!” Ye Lengan tilted her head and smiled. “As his mother, shouldn’t it be you who does the persuading?”
This left Zhongyu Liuying momentarily embarrassed. If she could convince Ruiling, she wouldn’t be in this position right now. However, she couldn’t bring herself to say that as it would mean admitting the strained relationship she shares with Huangfu Ruiling.
“I am providing you with an opportunity.” Zhongyu Liuying stated after a pause. “Aren’t you set on marrying Ruiling someday? If you succeed in convincing him to make the right choice now, we will know whether you are fit to be the matriarch of the Huangfu family. Also, Ruilings father said that should you resolve this issue, he would accept you.”
“You are then giving me too much credit,” responded Ye Lengan leaning back casually. “l don’t want such an opportunity. Being his parents, it’s up to you to dissuade him. If he doesn’t heed your advice, then he certainly won’t heed mine.”
Hearing Ye Leng’an’s refusal, Zhongyu Liuying’s expression darkened significantly. “Are you rejecting my proposal?”
“Indeed,” responded Ye Lengan calmly to Zhongyu Liuyings increasingly somber face. “Since it was his decision, I believe he has his reasons, so I don’t plan to interfere.”
Looking aggravated, Zhongyu Liuying retorted, “Ye Leng an, 1 am not offering a suggestion, I am commanding you. As Ruilings mother, shouldn’t I be your future mother-in-law if you plan to marry him? If you refuse me on such a minor issue, I begin to question your suitability for Ruiling.”
As she witnessed Zhongyu Liuyings high-handed posture, Ye Lengan laughed as if she’d heard a funny joke. This stoked all the displeasure in Zhongyu Liuying.. “Ye Lengan, what’s so amusing? I am talking to you; what are you laughing at?”
