“You bastard,” Huangfu Jingzhang erupted in rage, cursing, “You know full well what I mean. You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? You’re trying to get back at me and oust me from my position as family head.”
“You’re thinking too much.” Huangfu Ruilings tone remained cold and detached. “I’m merely making decisions according to your wishes. What do you have to be angry about?” He continued, “Besides, status is unimportant. Even without the designation of the family head, nothing about what you
currently possess will change, right?”
“Don’t give me that crap!” Huangfu Jingzhang had by now lost all of his usual composure and self-restraint. He was incensed and agitated. “You’ve already gathered most of the power in the Huangfu family under your control. Why are you still not satisfied? Why must you snatch away my position as family head as well? Do you value that role so highly?”
“Don’t you value it just as much?” Huangfu Ruiling calmly retorted. “If you don’t care for it, why question me about it now?”
Huangfu Jingzhang was rendered almost speechless with rage. He took a deep breath and directly ordered, “Go and withdraw all the invitations at once. Then issue a statement saying this was all a joke and that the Huangfu family has no plans to replace the head of the family.”
Matters had not yet progressed to an irreparable stage, so there was still a way to salvage the situation.
“Impossible,” Huangfu Ruiling flatly refused. “Everything has already been arranged. You need only show up on the appointed day.”
“l am your father!” Huangfu Jingzhang bellowed. “Do you still see me as your father? If you acknowledge me as such, then go and take back everything at once!”
Hearing this threat, Huangfu Ruiling’s tone was unchanged. “As I’ve already stated, that’s impossible. If you no longer wish to acknowledge me as your son, you may leave the Huangfu family. I promise I will not hinder you.”
“You…”
Hearing this, Huangfu Jingzhang felt he would soon faint from rage. Through gritted teeth, he pleaded in a low voice, “Ruiling, I know you are this angry because I interfered between you and Ye Lengan. If you withdraw the invitations now, I will pretend this never happened. In the future, I promise not to meddle in matters between you and Ye Lengan ever again.”
At this point, Huangfu Jingzhang gritted his teeth and continued, “Even if you want Ye Lengan to become the Huangfu family’s matriarch, I will have no further objections.”
If only he had known this Ye Lengan was so important to that unfilial son, he never would have said a word! Previously, he had felt his son agreed too readily. It turned out he had been waiting for this! Now, to preserve his position as family head, he could only choose to concede.
After all, whether it was Ye Lengan or someone else becoming Huangfu Ruilings wife mattered little. However, without the title of Huangfu family’s patriarch, how could he continue to face people?
“You had no right to interfere in my affairs to begin with,” Huangfu Ruiling said lightly. “As for replacing the family head, that is only reasonable, so it will not be rescinded. Father, you should prepare yourself!” With that, Huangfu Ruiling promptly hung up the phone.
“That bastard,” Huangfu Jingzhang snarled.
In a fit of rage, he violently hurled the phone in his hand to the floor.
“Crack!” The phone smashed into pieces with a sharp snap.
“Jingzhang, what is going on?” Seeing Huangfu Jingzhangs violent outburst, a sense of foreboding rose in Zhongyu Liuyings heart.
One had to understand that she and Huangfu Jingzhang were husband and wife. They rose and fell together. If Huangfu Jingzhang lost his position as family head, it meant the title of family head’s wife would no longer be hers.
How then could she continue to socialize among the upper crust of the capital? She could already imagine how those noble ladies would gossip and mock her behind her back once she was no longer the Huangfu family’s matriarch.
The husband being family head and the son being family head were two very different things, especially since she and Huangfu Ruiling were mother and son, yet their relationship had always been distant. Therefore, Huangfu Ruiling becoming family head did nothing to help her. If anything, it lowered her status..
