Something Happened 2

Even if Zhongyu Liuying didn't hear, she could probably guess the idle gossip these people would engage in next. However, she had no way to stop Nangong Xiyu because what the latter spoke was the truth.

Huangfu Jingzhang's expression was also unpleasant. While Huangfu Ruiling's actions were directed at Zhongyu Liuying, it felt like a slap to his face. He inwardly resented the fact that if only Huangfu Ruiling had died during that incident, none of this would have occurred today.

Simultaneously, he held a grudge against Zhongyu Liuying. If only she had convinced Ye Leng'an back then, tonight's handover ceremony wouldn't have taken place, and he would still be the nominal head of the Huangfu family. This could have brought him both prestige and benefits.

Furthermore, if Zhongyu Liuying had been capable enough to protect what was hers tonight, the second branch wouldn't have managed to seize half of her power.
