Huangfu Ruiling’s words plunged Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying into an icy abyss, their bodies shivering with cold.
They had desperately tried to forget the incident of the kidnapping, especially after Huangfu Ruiling returned alive. They had hoped this dark chapter would fade away.
Since Huangfu Ruiling’s return, the matter had never been brought up. They had assumed that Huangfu Ruiling had moved on and didn’t care about it anymore.
However, today, Huangfu Ruiling unexpectedly raised the issue, forcing them to confront the past they had tried to bury. It became clear that Huangfu Ruiling had been carrying the memory all along.
“Ruiling, back then, we didn’t intend to abandon you. We just…” Zhongyu Liuying struggled to find the right words, realizing that every explanation seemed feeble. Eventually, she resorted to an apology. “Regardless, we are your parents. We never wanted to harm you.”
While Zhongyu Liuying explained, Huangfu Jingzhang, on the side, was rendered speechless. He was the one who had chosen not to rescue Huangfu Ruiling.
Huangfu Ruiling raised a hand, stopping Zhongyu Liuying’s lengthy discourse. “These so-called explanations are unnecessary. You both know the truth about what happened back then. I’m making everything clear today to convey that, in the future, don’t expect me to comply with your requests just because you’re my parents. You don’t have that privilege.”
His words left Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying flushed. They exchanged speechless glances. Especially when met with Huangfu Ruiling’s cold gaze, an unprecedented unease gripped them.
After a brief glance at Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying, Huangfu Ruiling continued speaking slowly, “In the future, I hope you won’t summon me back over such matters. I don’t have the time to go in circles with you.”
With that, he stood up and walked towards the door.
Huangfu Ruiling harbored no deep resentment or hatred towards Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying. To him, they were devoid of any emotional attachment. One couldn’t harbor resentment towards individuals they felt nothing for. However, dealing with this couple, who unconsciously attempted to leverage their parental status, had tested his patience.
Hence, he chose to lay everything bare today, preventing any future disputes.
Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying watched him leave, refraining from further comments.
Only after Huangfu Ruiling completely vanished from view did Huangfu Jingzhang finally speak, his tone trembling slightly, “That ungrateful child. It turns out he’s been holding onto that grudge from the past. He’s been resenting us all along.”
Zhongyu Liuying’s lips quivered. She attempted to speak, but no words came out.
Huangfu Jingzhang, oblivious to her reaction, continued talking to himself, “Why didn’t he die during that kidnapping? If he had, none of this would have happened.”
He wouldn’t have been forcibly removed from the position of family head at such a young age, becoming an idle common member of the family
“Jingzhang, let’s not say more,” Zhongyu Liuying hurriedly interjected. “Who knows if Huangfu Ruiling is monitoring us? If he hears such words, our situation might become even more difficult.”
“We’ve truly brought calamity upon ourselves! To think we gave birth to such an ingrate.” Though he said so, Huangfu Jingzhang’s voice lowered. “We can’t count on him in the future.”
Zhongyu Liuying couldn’t help but sigh deeply. “I never thought Ruiling would hold a grudge against us. Judging by his appearance, he probably won’t help Ruixiang either.”
Huangfu Jingzhang remained silent, but his demeanor revealed his displeasure.
The couple exchanged silent glances, and the atmosphere within the room became heavy.
After today, Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying understood that moving forward, they couldn’t rely on their parental status to make demands of Huangfu Ruiling.
Early the next morning, Ye Leng’an went to Sheng’an High School. Although she was previously a first-year student, she still needed to collect her graduation certificate since she had already taken the college entrance examination.
With the holidays underway, there weren’t many students strolling on campus. However, the new graduating class had already started supplementary classes, leaving no room for relaxation in their pursuit of success in the college entrance examination.
Spotting only a few familiar faces on campus, Ye Leng’an quickly reached the principal’s office, knocked on the door, and, upon receiving a response, entered.
Zheng Anyang was initially engrossed in work. Unfazed by the knocking, he absentmindedly responded. However, upon seeing who had entered, he promptly stood up.
“You’ve finally arrived.” Clearly delighted by Ye Leng’an’s presence, Zheng Anyang remarked, “Where have you been all this time? I couldn’t reach you.”
Upon the announcement of the college entrance examination results, discovering Ye Leng’an as the top scorer with full marks, he had immediately attempted to contact her. However, her phone had been switched off until yesterday.
“Oh, after the college entrance examination, I went out for a trip with my fiancé.” Ye Leng’an casually explained, “I didn’t realize my phone had run out of battery, which is why I couldn’t be reached.”
Her tone remained composed, stating the fact matter-of-factly. However, these seemingly simple words greatly astonished Zheng Anyang, nearly prompting him to leap from his chair.
“Fiancé?” Unable to conceal his surprise, Zheng Anyang questioned, “You have a fiancé? Why haven’t I heard about your engagement before?”
In truth, what he wanted to ask was who Ye Leng’an’s fiancé was. Was it Huangfu Ruiling?
Previously, he had seen Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an attending a banquet together, their intimacy evident as they publicly declared their relationship. Suddenly learning of Ye Leng’an’s engagement surprised him, leaving him curious if it was with Huangfu Ruiling.
As the head of the Huangfu family, Huangfu Ruiling wouldn’t have such a low-profile engagement. Furthermore, there had been no news about the Huangfu family head’s engagement during this period.
