Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhongyu Liuying, who had been standing beside him, wasn’t faring much better. Despite having applied thick makeup, it couldn’t conceal the weariness etched on her face.

Huangfu Jingzhang was on the verge of losing his position as patriarch tonight. Consequently, she could no longer be the matriarch of the Huangfu family. The days of being revered by those noblewomen who used to gather around her were over.

If tonight’s person taking over as the family head were Huangfu Ruixiang, her mood would undoubtedly be entirely different from now. Having her son as the family head was certainly preferable to her husband holding that position. It was much like why so many people aspired to become empress dowagers.

However, Huangfu Ruiling, who was about to assume the role of family head, had been cold and unemotional since he was a child, showing no affection toward his mother. If such a person were to become the family head, her future circumstances could be easily anticipated.

Just the thought of this made her feel uneasy. If possible, she would have loved for something to happen to Huangfu Ruiling now, and the position of the family head, whether it went to Huangfu Jingzhang or Huangfu Ruixiang, would be acceptable.

Unfortunately, this was merely wishful thinking, something that could never be realized.

After Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan entered the venue, they proceeded directly to the lounge.

Ye Lengan remained by Huangfu Ruilings side, occupying a chair next to him. She was currently observing the event through the venue’s surveillance cameras, and suddenly, she spotted a familiar figure.

“Hmm?” Ye Lengan fixed her gaze on one of the positions in the surveillance footage and mumbled to herself in a puzzled tone, “How did he end up here?”

“Who are you referring to?” Huangfu Ruiling followed Ye Lengan’s line of sight and explained with a smile, “Shengan High School is an elite school. Do you think he could secure the position of principal on his own? There are family factors at play. Although the Zheng family doesn’t compare to the four major families, they are still a well-known first-class family in the capital.”

Indeed, the person Ye Lengan observed was their school’s principal. Previously, she had been unaware that their principal hailed from such a prestigious background. No wonder he could firmly hold the position of principal and not fear any of the students in the school.

“This is entirely beyond my expectations!” Ye Leng’an couldn’t conceal her surprise. “1 truly couldn’t tell back when we were at school!”

“Actually, quite a few people in high society are aware of this,” Huangfu Ruiling explained. “But when you were with the Ye family before, the Ye family wasn’t at this level, so you weren’t aware.”

Ye Lengan nodded and said nothing further.

Inside the venue.

“Sister-in-law, you don’t look well!” Nangong Xiyu looked at Zhongyu Liuying with a concerned expression, though she couldn’t hide the schadenfreude in her eyes. “Today is a good day! You should be overjoyed!’

Little did she expect that Zhongyu Liuying would also have such a day! In the past, Zhongyu Liuying had always looked down on her, a branch member of the Nangong family, with the status of the Huangfu family’s matriarch, frequently belittling her.

Now, Huangfu Jingzhang was no longer the family head, and even Zhongyu Liuyings identity as the family’s matriarch had been lost. It was genuinely gratifying!

“You’re overthinking things. I’m perfectly fine.” Zhongyu Liuying naturally understood that Nangong Xiyu was mocking her, but she wasn’t going to let her gloat. “Today, Ruiling is taking over as the family head, so, of course, I’m happy. From now on, the family head will be my son. How could I not be delighted?”

She intended to make it clear to Nangong Xiyu that, even though her husband had stepped down from the position of the family head, the one ascending to the position of the family head was her son. Regardless, Nangong Xiyu would never measure up to her. Even if she weren’t the family’s matriarch, she was still the family head’s mother.

“That’s good.” Nangong Xiyu covered her face and smiled. “I thought you had been brooding all this time! I heard that you and big brother have been trying to persuade Ruiling to change his mind!”

Nangong Xiyu didn’t believe Zhongyu Liuying at all. Who didn’t know that Zhongyu Liuying and Huangfu Ruiling had a terrible relationship? Not just her, even Huangfu Jingzhang was the same. Moreover, after the incident back then, it was likely that Huangfu Ruiling had no feelings for his parents..
