Lin Wanqin glanced in the direction Ye Xiyuan had departed and then at Ye Li e s retreating back, which never turned around. In the end, she had no choice but to follow suit.
Ye Anyun let out a sigh, turned around, and trailed after his parents.
Watching the Ye family from a distance, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but curl her lips into a sardonic smile when she saw them all leave.
“What are you staring at?” Huangfu Ruiling reached out and grabbed Ye Leng’an’s hand. “What’s so interesting about that family?”
“Indeed, there’s nothing worth seeing,” Ye Lengan pursed her lips and commented. “They’re just a bit heartless and ruthless, not much to watch. I’m just wondering how Ye Xiyuan will feel when she comes out and sees that her family has all left!”
She had already experienced the heartlessness of the Ye family.
Ye Li was undeniably a pragmatic person. In his eyes, if something had value, he would treat it well. His favor towards Ye Xiyuan wasn’t just because she was his daughter, but also because she excelled in various aspects. Later on, she even managed to establish connections with the Nangong family.
However, it was now evident that Ye Xiyuan had offended the Nangong family.
In Ye Li’s eyes at this moment, Ye Xiyuan had likely become a liability, perhaps even a scapegoat!
As for Lin Wanqin, despite her motherly love, she had a weak personality and mostly deferred to Ye Li’s decisions. Just like now, even though she was deeply concerned about Ye Xiyuan, she chose to leave with Ye Li in the end.
Ye Anyun was even more spineless. Despite being the only male in the Ye family, he displayed no sense of responsibility.
“This is reality,” Huangfu Ruiling remarked lightly. “If tonight’s banquet had gone smoothly, they should be wearing triumphant expressions now.”
Ye Leng’an nodded in agreement and added, “l never expected Nangong Xuyao to choose today, in such a setting, to step onto the stage and expose Ye
Xiyuan’s lies. The timing was indeed impeccable.”
If this was a vendetta against Ye Xiyuan, then she had to admit that this retaliation was exceptionally ruthless.
“Nangong Xuyao was never a kind person,” Huangfu Ruiling continued. “Even though he’s the sole son of the current Nangong family head, he couldn’t secure the position of the Young Master without sufficient strength. How could such a person waver? I suspect he had everything planned out from the moment he discovered that Ye Xiyuan had deceived him.”
“He is indeed a ruthless individual,” Ye Lengan agreed. “However, Ye Xiyuan brought this upon herself. She actually attempted impersonation. Since she chose to do it back then, she should have been prepared to face the consequences. ”
In fact, if it hadn’t been for Huangfu Ruilings investigation, Ye Xiyuan might have continued to deceive others indefinitely.
“After tonight’s events, I’m afraid that all the top families in the capital will know about Ye Xiyuan,” Huangfu Ruiling remarked with indifference. “It won’t be so easy for her to find a partner among this group of people in the future.”
“Ye Xiyuan is quite ambitious.” Ye Lengan chuckled, covering her mouth. “She doesn’t hold ordinary families in high regard. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have clung to Li Deze like this.”
“People with lofty aspirations but limited abilities rarely end well,” Huangfu Ruiling stated as he glanced around. “Tonight’s banquet has likely been completely ruined.”
“So, should we stay or head back?” Ye Leng’an smiled and asked, “If we continue to stay, there probably won’t be any interesting developments!”
“Mrs. Nangong will handle the remaining matters behind closed doors,” Huangfu Ruiling replied, narrowing his eyes with a sharp glint. “Furthermore, the Hidden World’s major family competition is about to commence. Nangong Xuyao, as the young master of the Nangong family in the mortal world, can’t afford any missteps at this juncture.”
“Is that the family competition?” Ye Leng’an’s eyes sparked with interest. “May I attend?”
Speaking of which, despite registering in the Hidden World, she had never actually visited. She had always been curious about it..
