Chapter 231 Lost the initiative
"Then have you won now?" Ye Hongxuan laughed angrily, "No, not only did you not win, but you were exposed on the spot. It also made our Ye family lose face in front of all the families. How will people from other families treat our Ye family in the future!"
"Also, do you think those little tricks of yours can really deceive the world? Which one of those present is not an old fox! Aren't you humiliating yourself by playing tricks in front of them?"
The repeated questioning made Ye Wanwan unable to refute. If she wins, she can still explain her behavior. However, these actions of hers were exposed on the spot. Now not only did he lose the competition, but he also lost face to the family.
Seeing Yewan's appearance, Lian Mengzhu was very distressed. She chimed in and said, "Hongxuan, Wanwan already knew she was wrong, so please forgive her this time! Now she is still injured, what's the matter, why don't you continue talking after she gets better!"
"She deserved the injuries she suffered," Ye Hongxuan said mercilessly, "If she hadn't used those heresy methods, how could she have been injured by Huangfu Ling!"
Listening to Ye Hongxuan's words of reproach, Ye Wanwan lowered her head, but she didn't feel regretful or ashamed in her heart. She just felt that the failure this time was because she was too unlucky. If she had been more concealed and not discovered by others, then she would have won the competition this time and become the existence that everyone complimented.
Even her father can only praise her at this time, not blame her.
Of course, it is absolutely impossible for her to say these words. Because she knew very well that if she really said such a thing, her father would only be even more angry.
Although he was very angry in his heart, it was his daughter after all, and Ye Wanwan was still seriously injured, so after seeing Ye Wan with her head lowered, Ye Hongxuan's anger dissipated a little.
Lian Mengzhu, as Ye Hongxuan's bedside person, naturally sensed Ye Hongxuan's change. She hastily pulled Ye Wanwan's hand, and then started to wink at her, "Wanwan, why don't you hurry up and apologize. This time, you did something wrong."
After hearing Lian Mengzhu's words, it was late at night, and immediately said in a sad voice, "Father, what happened this time is all my fault. I promise, it will never happen again in the future."
Looking at Yewan's pitiful appearance, Ye Hongxuan, who was originally full of anger, slowly began to calm down at this time, but his tone was still not very good, "In the future, I don't know how it will end with today's incident. The elders must have a lot of opinions now."
"Hongxuan, this matter is indeed Wanwan's fault," Lian Mengzhu also helped to talk about love, "but she did this to win the victory and win the priority mining right for the family. Her original intention is still good, but the method is wrong."
Ye Hongxuan was silent, and after a long time, he sighed, shook his head, looked at Ye Wan, and said, "Wan Wan, do you know how much trouble you have caused today? You didn't just embarrass your family today, you also harmed yourself!"
"Hongxuan, what do you mean?" Lian Mengzhu couldn't help frowning, "This has a great influence on Wan Wan, doesn't it?"
Yewan on the side, after hearing such words, raised her head abruptly, and when she looked at Ye Hongxuan, there was a trace of tension and eagerness in her eyes,
"I'm talking about Wanwan and Murong Xingrui's matter." Ye Hongxuan continued, "Originally, after the family competition, I planned to discuss with Murong Jingming about the two of them. But now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid this matter will change."
Murong Xingrui is definitely one of the best son-in-law candidates in the Hidden World. I don't know how many unmarried girls are staring at him. He is definitely the most suitable husband-in-law for Wanwan. However, now that something like this happened, Wanwan was exposed in public for using heresy methods to try to win, Murong Jingming didn't know what kind of thinking he was thinking.
After hearing Ye Hongxuan's words, Lian Mengzhu was a little anxious, she stretched out her hand, took Ye Hongxuan's hand, and said nervously, "You mean that the Murong family may go back on their word, don't you?"
At the beginning, Murong Jingming raised this matter in front of so many people, but now if they go back on their word, the Ye family's face will really be lost. Moreover, the most important thing is that everyone will think that the Murong family repented because of this competition.
After that, it will not be so easy to find a suitable family in Wanwan.
"I don't know yet." Ye Hongxuan shook his head, "Murong Jingming is an old fox, he is good at calculating. He was willing to get married at the beginning because of Wan Wan's outstanding performance. But now that something like this happened in Wan Wan, I'm not sure what he would think."
She has lost the competition now, and she still lost so ugly. If she loses the Murong family's marriage again at this time, then her status in the Ye family will really plummet. So, no matter what, she couldn't let this marriage go unnoticed.
Ye Hongxuan raised his hand and stopped Ye Wan from saying, "I know you are not reconciled, but the initiative of the matter is no longer in our hands. If Murong Jingming is really unwilling to continue to carry out what he said before, then we have nothing to do."
After all, what happened between Murong Xingrui and Yewan was just a verbal talk between him and Murong Jingming. The two families have not yet started formal marriage negotiations, and no tokens have been exchanged.
So, even if Murong Jingming really didn't continue to fulfill the performance and said it was just a joke, then there was nothing they could do. Moreover, now that something like this has happened, they have no way to say anything forcefully. Otherwise, it would be their Ye family who would lose face in the end.
"Then we can't do anything now, we can only wait, can't we?" Lian Mengzhu's tone contained a trace of unwillingness, "We are so good at Wanwan, why should the initiative be in their hands?"
"Because Wanwan did something like that today." Ye Hongxuan said mercilessly, "So, we are already at a disadvantage, and there is no other way."
Hearing Ye Hongxuan's words, Yewan only felt that the wound on his body hurt even more. She didn't expect that because of this incident, she would lose her marriage with the Murong family. If she had known—
Actually, even if she knew about it a long time ago, she might still choose to use this method. Because she still wants to win this competition, because only in this way can her position be more stable.
"We can't do anything about the Murong family's affairs right now. We can only wait and see." Ye Hongxuan shook his head, then looked at Yewan, and said, "You should take a good rest in the past few days. After a few days, when you are in better health and can get out of bed, it is more worthy of my apology to the Huangfu family!"
"What?" After hearing Ye Hongxuan's words, Ye Wan was not calm at all, "Father, you want me to go to the Huangfu family to apologize?"
What happened today has already made her lose face. If you still go to the Huangfu family to apologize at this time, how many people will see her jokes!
"Yes!" Lian Mengzhu couldn't help frowning, "Hongxuan, when you were in the square this time, didn't you apologize to the head of the Huangfu family? Besides, the winner is now the Huangfu family. Why should we come again and bring shame on ourselves!"
"Besides, didn't the Huangfu family always talk about Huangfu Ruiling's matter before, and didn't give us an explanation at all? If that's the case, then why did we come to the door?"
In short, she does not approve of asking Wanwan to close the door and apologize. Isn't this a slap in the face?
"One size is one size." Ye Hongxuan shook his head, but did not change his mind, "Using such a method in the family competition is wrong at night. What she has to do now is to apologize to the Huangfu family. This is not only for the Huangfu family, but also for the elders of the family."
If he could, he didn't want his daughter to come to apologize and humiliate himself. However, in the recent period, the things Wanwan did were really out of line. The elders of the family have already had a lot of opinions. If Wan Wan is still unwilling to show her attitude this time, then the elders will definitely not let it go.
Yewan was still very unwilling, "Father, I—"
"Stop talking." Ye Hongxuan raised his hand, looked at Yewan, and said directly, "The elders are very dissatisfied with you now. If you don't correct your attitude, then your position as the heir will be in jeopardy. Don't forget that your second uncle's son, your cousin, has been eyeing the heir's position."
After hearing Ye Hongxuan's words, Yewan finally gritted his teeth and nodded, "Father, I understand. After two days, when I recover a bit, I will go to the Huangfu family with you."
Now she has no other choice, and now she must not lose the position of heir. Therefore, no matter what, she must obtain the forgiveness of the Huangfu family. Only in this way, those old men will shut up.
Seeing Ye Wan's obedient appearance, Ye Hongxuan nodded.
Soon, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu left the room, leaving Yewan alone.
It's just that it's completely impossible to calm down and have a good rest at night.
