Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback - Chapter 962

Chapter 962: Seeking More Benefits

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The first to arrive at the villa wasn’t Huangfu Shaohua, but Huangfu Ruiling.

Upon receiving Ye Leng’an’s call, he promptly began his trip back. Thus, he reached the villa before Huangfu Shaohua.

Zhou Cui’an and her parents sat nervously in the villa’s living room.

Even Zhou Cui’an, though accustomed to mingling with Huangfu Shaohua and attending high-class venues, felt uneasy. She had never been to such a luxurious villa, especially not as the guest of someone with whom she had a strained relationship.

Initially preoccupied with their own thoughts, the presence of only the three of them in the room, without the host, heightened their discomfort.

As Zhou Cui’an fidgeted and pondered, a striking figure suddenly appeared before them.

A man in a dignified black suit, with perfect features exuding an imposing aura, stunned everyone present.

In all her years, Zhou Cui’an had never encountered such a commanding presence. Upon seeing him, her first reaction wasn’t admiration but fear. Under his intimidating presence, all she felt was dread.

Huangfu Ruiling, observing the unfamiliar faces in the living room, immediately deduced their identities.

Upon Huangfu Ruiling’s arrival, Zhou Cui’an and her family hastily rose from the sofa, avoiding eye contact as if guilty of some transgression.

Their silence stemmed not only from fear but also from the depletion of their courage. They struggled to contain their dread, fearing they might collapse under its weight.

With a furrowed brow, Huangfu Ruiling wasted no words and proceeded inside.

As he reached the dining area, he saw Ye Leng’an.

“Oh, you’re back so soon!” Ye Leng’an’s surprise was evident as she continued, “But there’s no need to rush. After all, this matter doesn’t concern us much.”

“Huangfu Shaohua is really foolish. Just a small matter has turned into such a mess, and now it’s even causing trouble for you.”

From his tone, it was evident that he was very dissatisfied with Huangfu Shaohua.

Ye Leng’an shook her head, amused. “Forget it. It’s just a trivial matter. But I never expected Zhou Cui’an to come to me because of this. I felt like I was the matriarch of the Huangfu family!”

Reaching out, Huangfu Ruiling tapped Ye Leng’an’s forehead. “What nonsense are you spouting? You’re the matriarch of the Huangfu family, and that’s a fact that won’t change.”

Ye Leng’an stuck out her tongue and then took Huangfu Ruiling’s hand with a smile. “Alright, let’s not dwell on this. Since you’re back, let’s have lunch here today! I originally wanted to have lunch with you, but I didn’t expect this.”

As they conversed, the doorbell suddenly rang. The two exchanged a glance.

“It seems Huangfu Shaohua is here.”

As they walked outside, they saw Huangfu Shaohua being led in by Li San.

Huangfu Shaohua never imagined receiving a summons from the family head.

Under normal circumstances, he would have felt like he’d stumbled upon a windfall. But now, knowing the situation, he felt only frustration. Additionally, he harbored strong resentment toward Zhou Cui’an.

Although he had never been considered ambitious, now that such a matter was known by the family head, he felt like he had lost all his face. And the one causing all this was none other than Zhou Cui’an.

Now, he regretted ever getting involved with someone like her. What he thought would be a trivial matter had turned into an inescapable burden.

In stark contrast to Huangfu Shaohua’s impatience, Zhou Cui’an’s eyes sparkled upon seeing him. She immediately stepped forward. “Shaohua, you’re here!”

Huangfu Shaohua’s expression soured, his tone no better. “Zhou Cui’an, we’ve broken up. Why do you insist on clinging to me? Can’t we part ways amicably?”

Seemingly hurt by Huangfu Shaohua’s callousness, Zhou Cui’an was also frightened. She stood frozen, unable to respond.

Seeing this, Zhou Cui’an’s father could no longer contain himself. Suppressing his fear, he stepped forward to protect Zhou Cui’an, struggling to keep his body from trembling as he spoke, “Are you speaking like a decent person? My daughter is pregnant with your child, yet you’re trying to evade responsibility. Are you even a man?”

Though silent, Mrs. Zhou stood firmly by Zhou Cui’an’s side.

They knew he was the father of their daughter’s child and that he was not to be trifled with. Nevertheless, they were determined to protect their daughter.

Huangfu Shaohua grew increasingly impatient. “I’ve broken up with your daughter. And she’s already taken the one-million breakup fee. Is there any point in dragging this out?”

Zhou Cui’an’s parents exchanged glances, both looking at Zhou Cui’an with disbelief. Clearly, they were completely unaware of the situation.

Huangfu Shaohua sneered at their reaction. He didn’t believe them. Instead, he saw them as putting on an act, seeking only more benefits.

At that moment, those in the living room noticed Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an approaching.

Huangfu Shaohua, who had been somewhat casual, immediately straightened up. His demeanor became more serious, completely shedding his usual playboy facade.

“Master, Miss Ye!” Huangfu Shaohua greeted them respectfully.

Zhou Cui’an was dumbfounded by Huangfu Shaohua’s words. She stared blankly as Ye Leng’an approached her, unable to react.
