neither side spoke first, as if competing to see who was more patient.

after a long while, zhongyu liuying finally couldn’t hold back and spoke first, “ms. ye lengan, i think you should know very well the reason i’m looking for you today!’

“oh, i don’t know.” ye lengan shrugged, appearing nonchalant. “so, if you have something to say, just say it. don’t make me guess, i don’t like playing guessing games.”

“you…”

zhongyu liuying had never been treated so unreasonably before, especially by someone like ye lengan whom she had always looked down upon. what was more, most importantly, shouldn’t ye lengan be trying to please her now? she was huangfu ruilings mother after all. didn’t ye lengan like huangfu ruiling?

“auntie, don’t get angry,” zhongyu yiran quickly advised. “don’t forget our purpose for coming today. also, uncle is trying to persuade brother huangfu at the same time.’

upon hearing such words, a hint of curiosity flashed in ye leng’an’s eyes.

she wasn’t worried at all about huangfu ruilings ability to handle things on his end. she knew very well what kind of person huangfu ruiling was. if huangfu ruiling had really been the type to back down easily, she would not have fallen for him.

however, it was obvious that zhongyu liuying sitting opposite her didn’t seem to understand her own son very well!

“ye lengan, break up with ruiling!” said zhongyu liuying, cutting right to the chase. don’t care if you two were just messing around or if it was true love. but you’re not qualified to be ruilings other half, much less qualified to become the huangfu family’s future matriarch. to avoid future conflicts and make things less ugly, it’s better for you two to break up now and preserve some dignity for each other.”

after hearing zhongyu liuyings words, ye lengan reacted as if she’d heard a joke. she couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “then what should the huangfu familys future matriarch be like? should she be a hypocrite like you, clearly doing evil things yet pretending it’s all for the sake of others? isn’t that hypocritical?”

“ye lengan, who are you calling hypocritical?” zhongyu liuyings face darkened instantly, a reaction she had never experienced before. “i’m already showing you some respect by talking to you here calmly. if you continue to be ungrateful like this, don’t blame me for not being polite.”

“so, how do you plan to be impolite to me?” ye lengan chuckled, her words dripping with sarcasm. “and, in the usual script, isn’t this the part where you’re supposed to wave a hefty check around? or are you just here to talk big without any substance?”

hearing ye leng’an’s words, zhongyu liuyings face was filled with mockery. “so your true colors are finally revealed? i knew you were with ruiling for the money!’

zhongyu yiran, on the other hand, felt something was off. but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. all she could do was keep a close eye on ye lengan to prevent her from doing anything.

ye lengan couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “so? are you planning to give me money or not? if so, then you should remember what i told your youngest son last night! think carefully about how much you should pay!

hearing ye leng’an’s words, zhongyu liuyings face visibly darkened. then she gritted her teeth and said, “ye lengan, don’t push it. do you really think you’re worth that much?”

10 billion. this ye lengan really had the gall. she should take a look at herself to reflect on what kind of person she is. was she worth 10 billion?

“if you don’t have the money, just say so directly,” said ye leng’an disdainfully. “the esteemed huangfu family’s matriarch doesn’t even have 10 billion? it seems like you’re just all talk, too!”

“shut up!” said zhongyu liuying, ye leng’an’s contemptuous look bringing her unprecedented humiliation. “ye lengan, you’re just a wild girl who doesn’t even know her own parents.. what right do you have to spout such nonsense here? 10 billion? do you think you’re worth that much?”
