Seeing Huangfu Ruixiang’s retreat, Zhong Yating’s eyes couldn’t help but flash with a trace of disdain and satisfaction. She had already antic.i.p.ated this outcome. As long as Huangfu Ruixiang saw Huangfu Ruiling’s cold demeanor, he wouldn’t dare to step forward at this moment.

She knew that Li Yiran’s presence here today was orchestrated by her cunning mother-in-law. It was due to her dissatisfaction with Zhong Yating’s background that she wanted to support Li Yiran against her. Unfortunately, this was the result.

Just moments ago, Li Yiran was still provoking her. Now, in the blink of an eye, she couldn’t back down.

Seeing this situation, she felt immensely pleased!

Zhongyu Liuying and Nangong Xiyu glanced at each other, and Nangong Xiyu immediately looked away.

Clearly, Nangong Xiyu didn’t want to get involved in this matter. No matter what, Li Yiran’s appearance was inappropriate for today’s occasion.

She had already warned Zhongyu Liuying earlier. It was a pity the other party wasn’t willing to listen, so there was nothing more she could say.

Thus, faced with this situation, she naturally couldn’t lend a helping hand.

Seeing Nangong Xiyu’s evasive gaze, Zhongyu Liuying gritted her teeth in frustration. She knew that at this critical moment, Nangong Xiyu would definitely shirk responsibility. This was truly shameless.

“What’s wrong? Is my question difficult to answer?” Huangfu Ruiling’s cold voice rang out again. “Or do you all think it’s normal for Li Yiran to be here?”

Ye Leng’an, beside him, remained silent. She simply watched the drama unfold without expressing any opinions.

Upon arriving, she had already noticed Li Yiran’s presence. At first, she found it somewhat strange. However, when she saw Li Yiran intending to enter the ancestral hall, she was greatly surprised.

Though she wasn’t familiar with many of the Huangfu family’s customs, she knew places like the ancestral hall were solemn. With Li Yiran’s status, she wasn’t qualified to enter.

However, Li Yiran’s presence here was likely orchestrated by Zhongyu Liuying.

She understood Zhongyu Liuying’s motives but couldn’t help but sigh. This was indeed a risky move!

She wanted to use an occasion like today to elevate Li Yiran’s status, so she could continue to oppose Zhong Yating. But Zhongyu Liuying hadn’t considered whether an occasion like today was really something she could exploit.

Seeing Huangfu Ruiling’s expression darken even further, Nangong Xiyu quickly spoke up to distance herself. “This was all suggested by your mother, and I advised against it, but to no avail.”

Nangong Xiyu bluntly laid out all the facts; she had no intention of sharing responsibility with Zhongyu Liuying.

Upon hearing Nangong Xiyu’s attempts to deflect blame, Zhongyu Liuying’s expression turned ugly. She glared fiercely at Nangong Xiyu before forcing a smile and reluctantly speaking up. “Although Yiran is not Ruixiang’s wife, she has given birth to Ruixiang’s only son. So, today I intend to have the child’s name entered into the family tree. Naturally, as the birth mother, Yiran should also witness this scene.”

Nangong Xiyu naturally noticed the almost murderous look Zhongyu Liuying directed at her. However, she didn’t care at all. After all, this matter had nothing to do with her. She couldn’t let herself, an outsider, bear the responsibility!

Seeing Zhongyu Liuying step forward to explain for her, Li Yiran finally felt relieved.

“On the family tree?” Hearing Zhongyu Liuying’s explanation, Huangfu Ruiling frowned.

At these words, Li Yiran’s heart skipped a beat.

Because she felt today’s matter might be doomed. As the head of the Huangfu family, if Huangfu Ruiling disagreed, the child wouldn’t be entered into the family tree.

In a large family like the Huangfu family, only those on the family tree were considered true members. Otherwise, even if the child was registered with Huangfu Ruixiang, he wouldn’t be recognized.

If the child wasn’t recognized by the Huangfu family, he’d forever be an outsider, not valued by the family.

As for her, the so-called biological mother, she had even less status.

Zhongyu Liuying clearly understood Huangfu Ruiling’s meaning. She hurriedly said, “This child is Ruixiang’s biological child. It’s only natural for him to be on the family tree.”

“That’s right.”

At this moment, Huangfu Jingzhang also stepped forward. “This is Ruixiang’s son and my grandson, so he must be on the family tree.”

Whether out of genuine love for his grandson or simply to oppose Huangfu Ruiling, he firmly sided with Zhongyu Liuying today.

Li Yiran, who had been silent on the sidelines, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief seeing Zhongyu Liuying and Huangfu Jingzhang stand up for the child.

Though she knew their motives weren’t pure, achieving her goal was what mattered.

Now, as long as the child made it onto the family tree, whether she entered the ancestral hall was less important. To her, the child was her greatest leverage. Only when the child’s ident.i.ty was recognized could she, the biological mother, have a place.

Huangfu Ruiling glanced indifferently at Huangfu Jingzhang and Zhongyu Liuying, then said, “Whether illegitimate children can be entered into the family tree is up to me, not you. Or have you decided to act first and explain later?”

“Huangfu Ruiling, we are your parents,” Huangfu Jingzhang said with exasperation. “Is this how you treat your biological parents? We’re not asking for much. We just want our biological grandson to be on the family tree. Is that too much to ask? Or do you no longer see us as your parents?”

Regardless of the reason, today he had to get this child on the family tree. He also wanted everyone to see that even though Huangfu Ruiling was head of the family, he was still his father. That was an unchangeable fact.

In contrast to Huangfu Jingzhang, Huangfu Ruiling remained calm, even indifferent. “This child cannot be entered into the family tree.”
