“What do you mean by this, Ye Leng’an?”

Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s provocative words, Zhongyu Jiarui almost jumped up. She extended her hand, pointing at Ye Leng’an’s nose as she began to scold, “You’ve injured someone, yet you dare to utter such words here. Let me tell you, don’t think you’re above everyone just because you have Master Huangfu backing you.”

A cold gleam flickered in Ye Leng’an’s eyes as she stared at the finger near her nose. However, before she could react, Huangfu Ruiling acted first.

He reached out, grabbed Zhongyu Jiarui’s wrist, and twisted it. The hand contorted in an odd manner, and the finger pointing at Ye Leng’an drooped down.

Along with Huangfu Ruiling’s movement, Zhongyu Jiarui’s cries of agony echoed throughout the entire venue. Just the sound of her pain was enough to send shivers down one’s spine, indicating the magnitude of suffering she endured.

“Jiarui!” Ye Wanwan exclaimed in shock.

The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. By the time they processed what had happened, Zhongyu Jiarui was already injured.

No one had anticipated such repeated incidents of violence during this year’s gathering.

“Master Huangfu, are you going too far?” Ye Wanwan panted heavily, her face filled with righteous anger. “Jiarui was merely speaking the truth. How did she offend you to deserve such treatment? She’s innocent.”

With Zhongyu Jiarui already injured, further retreat would only raise more suspicions. She had no choice but to go along with the situation.

“No, you’re mistaken,” Ye Leng’an retorted. Despite the tragic scene before her, she remained composed, even sporting a smile. “Zhongyu Jiarui’s fate isn’t due to her words but rather her disobedient hands. I detest being pointed at. It incites an urge within me to destroy.”

Calm words concealing vicious intent.

Ye Leng’an’s demeanor shocked everyone present. Previously known only as Huangfu Ruiling’s fiancée, she was now revealed as a formidable figure.

“Miss Ye, aren’t you being too arrogant?” A resonant voice sounded as Master Zhongyu walked forward.

He hadn’t been present when the incident occurred but had been outside conversing with Master Murong. Rushing over upon hearing of the commotion, he was met with Ye Leng’an’s brazen words.

“Father.”

Seeing Master Zhongyu’s arrival, Zhongyu Jiarui’s face lit up as though she’d found salvation. Enduring the pain in her wrist, she approached her father’s side.

Witnessing Zhongyu Jiarui’s pitiful state, Master Zhongyu showed no sign of pity, only a trace of impatience flickering in his eyes. “Enough, I understand. Step aside for now.”

He couldn’t comprehend how he, a shrewd man, had a daughter so obtuse.

Though he wasn’t entirely clear on the situation, he’d gleaned some information upon arriving. This incident was evidently a matter between Ye Leng’an and the Ye family. Why his foolish daughter had gotten involved was beyond him.

Regardless, they were in public now. He had to protect Zhongyu Jiarui. She was his daughter, representing the Zhongyu family’s honor.

Especially with Ye Leng’an still being so audacious. Even after injuring someone, she dared to speak so shamelessly. Even with the Huangfu family backing her, he couldn’t let the matter rest.

Ye Leng’an blinked, showing no signs of backing down even in front of Master Zhongyu. “Master Zhongyu, have you grasped the situation? How dare you call me arrogant here.”

“Regardless of the circumstances, harming someone is wrong.” Master Zhongyu’s gaze narrowed as he exuded pressure. “Miss Ye, despite you are Master Huangfu’s fiancée, Jiarui is still my daughter. Are you prepared to make enemies of the Zhongyu family with your actions?”

“If members of the Zhongyu family are so unreasonable, why should we fear becoming enemies?” Ye Leng’an showed no fear, maintaining her calm demeanor. “She slandered me first, then pointed fingers and cursed at me. Isn’t this provocation? Since you were unjust first, don’t blame us for being unjust later.”

“You…”

Hearing Ye Leng’an’s brazen words, Master Zhongyu’s face turned deathly pale, and he laughed angrily. “Quite sharp-tongued, no wonder you dared to injure people at the Enforcement Team’s banquet!”

With that, he turned to Huangfu Ruiling. “Master Huangfu, are you going to allow your fiancée to ruin the friendship between our families?”

He couldn’t believe that Huangfu Ruiling would truly turn a blind eye to Ye Leng’an’s actions. If Huangfu Ruiling were really that foolish, he wouldn’t have been able to lead the Huangfu family to its recent glory.

Even if Huangfu Ruiling had made vows at the engagement banquet, it didn’t mean he valued Ye Leng’an over the Huangfu family’s interests.

Huangfu Ruiling’s indifferent gaze met Master Zhongyu’s, his voice cold. “Master Zhongyu, there’s something you may not be aware of. I was the one who injured your daughter, not An’an. Furthermore, An’an is the matriarch of the Huangfu family. Your daughter pointed fingers and cursed at the matriarch of our Huangfu family. Isn’t this provocation? Are you also planning to become enemies with the Huangfu family?”

The relentless questioning left Master Zhongyu momentarily unsure of how to respond.
