Chapter 355: Public Announcement 3

“l don’t need your acknowledgment.” Huangfu Ruiling raised his head and looked at Huangfu Jingzhang with no trace of warmth in his eyes. “l am not discussing with you now, but informing you. Also, I don’t need your opinion.”
He didn’t have any excessive emotional attachment to these so-called family members. As long as everyone didn’t interfere with each other, they could coexist peacefully. However, if they wanted to meddle in his affairs, that would be challenging his boundaries, and he would not simply let it slide.
Hearing this, Huangfu Jingzhang was furious. When he looked at Huangfu Ruiling and said angrily, “You unfilial son, do you know what you are talking about? I’m your father. Is this how you treat your father?”
He always felt conflicted about his son, Huangfu Ruiling. For some reason, he had never been able to feel close to his son throughout his upbringing. However, after what happened back then, he also carried a sense of indebtedness toward his son.
However, he never expected that Huangfu Ruiling would eventually seize his authority. He wasn’t sure how exactly this had happened, but when he found out, most of the power in the Huangfu family was already in the hands of Huangfu Ruiling. When he learned of this, he was both anxious and angry, but he was also powerless to change the situation and had to accept the reality.
The only thing that made him feel better was that although Huangfu Ruiling had significant power, he had no intention of taking over the position of the family patriarch. Therefore, he was still the head of the Huangfu family. He was the one who handled all the external affairs of the Huangfu family. This also allowed him to maintain his superficial dignity.
Therefore, his feelings for his son, Huangfu Ruiling, were somewhat complicated. On the one hand, he feared Huangfu Ruiling, not only because he had quietly seized significant power, but also because of his identity in the Hidden World. On the other hand, he couldn’t help but feel proud for having such an outstanding son.
It was because of such complicated feelings that he and Huangfu Ruiling didn’t get along well with each other.
Now, he suddenly heard Huangfu Ruiling announce Ye Lengan as his girlfriend without their consent. He felt like he had returned to the time when Huangfu Ruiling had taken over the power without a word. This made him feel indignant.
“l know what I’m talking about.” Huangfu Ruiling did not flinch because of Huangfu Jingzhangs anger. Even his expression did not change. “My decision doesn’t need your consent, just as you don’t need to inform me about what you want to do.”
Hearing such words, Huangfu Jingzhang was so angry that he could not even speak.
“Dad, don’t be angry. Brother didn’t mean it that way.” Huangfu Ruixiang hurriedly went forward and patted Huangfu Jingzhang’s back to calm him down. “Let’s talk it out; Brother will listen.’
“l have nothing to say to this ungrateful son.” Obviously, Huangfu Jingzhang at this moment did not listen to any advice. “He’s grown capable now and has the ability to fight against his father. So, he wants to infuriate me.”
Although he was speaking to Huangfu Ruixiang, it was clear to anyone with discernment that Huangfu Jingzhangs words were directed at Huangfu Ruiling.
Unfortunately, Huangfu Ruiling did not even look at him.
As for Ye Leng’an, she didn’t say anything. She just stood quietly beside Huangfu Ruiling, like a beautiful vase.
Seeing that things were getting worse, Murong Yanshu quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, “Mr. and Mrs. Huangfu, today is the day our Nangong family holds a banquet. So I kindly request that you give me face and not pursue this matter any further. After all, children have their own blessings, and we adults should not interfere too much.”
This was both a warning and a persuasion. This was the Nangong family’s place, so it was better for him to settle the Huangfu family’s matters when they returned. Although the Nangong family was not as powerful as the Huangfu family, it was still one of the four major families.
Huangfu Jingzhang did not say anything else. After he snorted coldly, he directly continued walking forward. Before he left, he looked deeply at Huangfu Ruiling. Obviously, his departure was not a sign of compromise but rather a recognition that today was the day of the Nangong family’s banquet, and their family matters didn’t need to be aired in such an unsightly manner here..
