Zhongyu Lingshan always felt that Ye Leng’an’s gaze was peculiar. Simultaneously, she felt a shiver down her spine because, under such scrutiny, she felt as if she were completely transparent, completely laid bare by the other party.

Huangfu Ruiling remained silent, and Huangfu Jingzhang and the others appeared particularly uncomfortable. After all, Huangfu Ruiling hadn’t even invited them to sit down.

Ignoring the awkwardness, Huangfu Jingzhang sat down directly.

Seeing Huangfu Jingzhang take a seat, the others followed suit. However, with no one speaking, the atmosphere only grew more awkward.

Ye Leng’an sat beside Huangfu Ruiling like a spectator at a show, looking eager but saying nothing.

Observing Ye Leng’an, both Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying had plenty to say.

In their view, Ye Leng’an’s behavior lacked refinement. As Huangfu Ruiling’s fiancée, she should have taken the initiative to ease the tension, not act like a spectator.

“Dingdong.”

The clear sound of the doorbell shattered the solemn atmosphere in the living room.

Hearing the doorbell, Ye Leng’an raised an eyebrow, knowing their food had arrived. Without paying attention to the others, she got up and headed towards the door.

Opening the door, she saw that indeed, the hotel had delivered the food.

Ye Leng’an stepped aside, allowing the hotel staff to enter with the dishes. Then, upon her signal, they made their way to the dining room.

While the hotel staff were busy setting up the dishes, Ye Leng’an returned to Huangfu Ruiling’s side.

Finally lifting his head, Huangfu Ruiling glanced at Huangfu Jingzhang and the others before speaking, “Speak! What’s your purpose for coming today?”

He wouldn’t just entertain guests without reason. He didn’t believe these people had come to the villa just to see him.

With this statement, the tension in the living room broke. Huangfu Jingzhang breathed a sigh of relief before speaking, “Today is New Year’s Eve, a day for family reunions. If you won’t go back to the ancestral mansion, can’t we come and see you?”

Glancing towards the dining hall, Zhongyu Liuying thought their timing was fortuitous – they could stay for dinner, which would benefit both Huangfu Ruiling and Zhongyu Lingshan.

“Now that you’ve seen, you can leave,” Huangfu Ruiling said lightly. “We’ll be eating soon.”

In other words, he was hinting for them to leave on their own accord, not to disturb their mealtime.

Hearing this, Huangfu Jingzhang’s expression immediately darkened. His tone was filled with anger as he retorted, “Today is New Year’s Eve. We’re family. Are you really not letting us stay for a meal?”

If it were his former self, on a day like today, he would definitely have stayed at the ancestral mansion. Back then, as the head of the Huangfu family, he was revered by everyone. He enjoyed seeing people’s reverence for him, relishing the feeling of being elevated.

However, now that he was no longer the family head, there was no need for him to stay at the ancestral mansion for the reunion dinner. Especially since he didn’t want to see the peculiar gazes of others, especially considering his position as the family head had been usurped by his own son.

“That’s right!” Unlike Huangfu Jingzhang, Zhongyu Liuying appeared much more amiable. She smiled and spoke, “Ruiling, I understand that you don’t want to return to the ancestral home for the New Year, so we came specially to accompany you for a reunion dinner. The reunion dinner on New Year’s Eve is best enjoyed with family, creating the most festive atmosphere.”

“Exactly, exactly.” Huangfu Ruixiang chimed in quickly, “Brother, it’s rare to have Sister-in-law with us this year. Let’s all have a reunion dinner together!”

Seeing these people keep insisting, Huangfu Ruiling glanced around before saying, “It’s inconvenient, so you should leave!”

His tone was filled with endless coldness and detachment, sounding nothing like talking to his own family.

Already filled with anger, Huangfu Jingzhang’s temper soared upon hearing Huangfu Ruiling’s words. If it weren’t for Zhongyu Liuying holding him back, he might have exploded right then and there. “What did you say? We’re your family. What’s inconvenient about having a reunion dinner together?”

Recalling the events of a few days ago, he couldn’t help but feel furious, despite his earlier fear of Huangfu Ruiling’s threats.

“Inconvenient means inconvenient. What more is there to say?”

In this tense atmosphere, Ye Leng’an chuckled. “If we truly wanted to share a reunion dinner with you, we would have gone back to the ancestral mansion long ago. Since we’re unwilling to return, doesn’t that say it all?”

Her matter-of-fact demeanor only fueled their anger.

Before Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying could respond, Zhongyu Lingshan spoke up first.

“Miss Ye, don’t you think your words are too much?” Zhongyu Lingshan’s cold voice rang out as she glanced indifferently at Ye Leng’an. “Regardless, aunt and uncle are the parents of the head of the Huangfu family. This matter is between parents and children. It’s not appropriate for you to interfere.”

Her cold demeanor bore a striking resemblance to Ye Leng’an’s.

Even Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but pause momentarily at Zhongyu Lingshan’s demeanor. However, she quickly regained her composure. With a faint smile, she looked up at Zhongyu Lingshan and uttered words dripping with sarcasm.

“I’m not sure if my words are harsh, but…” Ye Leng’an’s tone carried a hint of mockery. “If you think it’s inappropriate for me to interfere, why are you intervening now? Do you believe this matter concerns you? Or do you wish it did?”

As she spoke, the mocking smile on Ye Leng’an’s face became more apparent, her gaze sharpening as she looked at Zhongyu Lingshan.
