Chapter 1028: Disgrace

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Of course, everyone else picked up on it too. Suddenly, when they all turned their gaze towards Li Yiran, their expressions changed. If there was any doubt about Li Yiran’s story before, it vanished in an instant. They knew she was just making excuses.

“Li Yiran, you cheated on me, you know that? I won’t let you off easy. Someone like you doesn’t belong in the Huangfu family,” Huangfu Ruixiang yelled at Li Yiran, letting out all his pent-up anger.

“No, it’s not true,” Li Yiran pleaded, taking a couple of steps forward and kneeling beside Huangfu Ruixiang. She hugged his leg, tears streaming down her face. “Ruixiang, I only have feelings for you! I don’t know how today’s mess happened. You have to believe me, I didn’t betray you.”

“Fine,” Huangfu Ruixiang said coldly, his eyes red with anger as he looked at Li Yiran. “I’ll have someone look into this right away. I want to know how long you and Li Yi have been sneaking around behind my back.”

Seeing Huangfu Ruixiang’s fury, Li Yiran was terrified. She knew she couldn’t handle an investigation. But at this point, she had no other choice. All she could do was silently pray that Huangfu Ruixiang wouldn’t find anything.

Soon enough, someone was sent to dig into the matter.

Zhong Yating glanced at the disheveled Li Yiran, who knelt there before her. A hint of satisfaction gleamed in her eyes.

Sure, today’s mess was partly her doing. But to say she orchestrated it all? Not quite. She just went with the flow.

It was bad enough that Li Yiran always opposed her, but trying to snatch away her child? No way. Li Yiran couldn’t stay in the Huangfu family any longer.

Zhong Yating knew she wouldn’t have kids of her own. Huangfu Zihao was as close as she’d get to that. But Li Yiran kept aiming for her Achilles’ heel, threatening to take the child. That was beyond tolerable.

She’d wanted to get rid of Li Yiran from the start. Now that Li Yiran practically walked into her trap, she seized the opportunity. And as for Li Yi, she seethed with hatred.

She’d pieced everything together on her own. And she knew Li Yi often visited Li Yiran, spending ages there each time.

Once she caught wind of it, she started planning. Today was execution day, and she was confident it’d play out just as she wanted.

If she could drive off Li Yiran, she’d secure her position as Huangfu Ruixiang’s wife and never worry about losing the child.

Sure, she orchestrated it all, but she left no breadcrumbs. No worries about getting caught. Li Yiran, though? That was another story. She wondered if Li Yiran could handle the heat of an investigation.

Li Yi remained on his knees, his posture rigid, but he kept glancing over at Li Yiran, clearly worried.

Meanwhile, Li Yiran was seething. She couldn’t believe Li Yi was still fretting at a time like this. Wasn’t it obvious what was happening?

Ye Leng’an, who had been watching from the sidelines, couldn’t help but marvel. This drama was better than anything on TV.

She figured Zhong Yating had orchestrated everything today, but she must have covered her tracks well. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so calm.

It was clear Li Yiran was outplayed this time. She didn’t stand a chance of turning things around. Not long after, someone came over with the results of the investigation.

Huangfu Ruixiang scanned the results, his face contorted with anger. He hurled the paper at Li Yiran. “You’re unbelievable! You’ve been sneaking around with Li Yi, and yet you have the nerve to cry innocence here? You’re shameless.”

The paper’s sharp edges left a cut on Li Yiran’s face, painting it with blood.

Li Yiran’s complexion turned pale. She was at a loss for words.

“What?” Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying couldn’t sit still. They grabbed the information to read for themselves. Their expressions darkened instantly.

When they looked at Li Yiran again, it was with pure disdain.

“Kick Li Yiran out,” Zhongyu Liuying ordered the servant. “She’s not welcome in the Huangfu family anymore. And she can’t use our family name to deceive others.”

“No, wait…” Li Yiran attempted to plead her case, but the scornful gazes silenced her.

Huangfu Ruixiang took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. Then he glanced at Li Yiran. “From now on, you and Zihao have no ties. I’ll give you some money. Leave! I don’t want to see you in the capital again.”

“No…” Li Yiran didn’t expect Huangfu Ruixiang to be so heartless. “Ruixiang, I can leave the Huangfu family, but you can’t stop me from seeing Zihao. He’s my son. You can’t be this cruel.”

“The child’s mother is Zhong Yating. You have no claim.” Huangfu Ruixiang’s face hardened. “Having you as his mother is a disgrace. Get out of his life forever. That’s the best thing you can do for him.”

His cruel words drained the color from Li Yiran’s face.
