Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback

Chapter 963: Rightful Status

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Even though Zhou Cui’an knew that Ye Leng’an’s fiancé was also from the Huangfu family, she had never imagined he would be the family head. And how could the family head be so young?

Recalling how she had once boasted about her boyfriend being Huangfu Shaohua in front of Ye Leng’an, she felt ashamed. She was certain Ye Leng’an had secretly ridiculed her then!

But now, Zhou Cui’an couldn’t dwell on past matters. Her immediate concern was her pregnancy.

Soon, Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an took their seats. This was their home, and they felt more at ease than anyone else, showing no restraint.

Huangfu Shaohua, however, dared not sit and could only stand respectfully.

Huangfu Ruiling was the patriarch, and many of them, as collateral relatives, might never see him in their lifetime. Particularly, Huangfu Ruiling was undoubtedly the most mysterious family head in the Huangfu family’s history. Despite his youth, he commanded great power and authority within the family, with no one daring to oppose him. Even his father showed utmost respect in his presence.

Huangfu Shaohua was acutely aware of his own status, merely a pampered scion relying on family wealth. Before the family head, he dared not be insolent. Especially considering that his visit today wasn’t for any honorable reason.

Thus, he harbored deep resentment towards Zhou Cui’an. Such a trivial matter had escalated to the family head’s attention, utterly humiliating him. Moreover, Zhou Cui’an had previously spread rumors about Miss Ye.

Truly, she was a liability. He regretted ever getting involved with such a crazy woman.

Even Huangfu Shaohua was unable to sit down, Zhou Cui’an and her family also stood, appearing tense and uneasy.

Ye Leng’an turned to Zhou Cui’an, who looked frightened, and began, “Alright, Zhou Cui’an, you said you couldn’t reach Huangfu Shaohua. Now that he’s here, speak your mind! And…”

Here, Ye Leng’an’s expression shifted, her tone growing stern. “Don’t trouble me with such matters again. Frankly, your affairs have nothing to do with me. If not for the child in your belly, you wouldn’t be here at all.”

Back then, if Zhou Cui’an had heard such words, she would have definitely felt that Ye Leng’an was looking down on her. At that time, she would have certainly argued with Ye Leng’an, even leading to a quarrel.

However, now that she knew the true identity of Ye Leng’an’s fiancé, realizing he was someone she absolutely could not afford to offend, she dared not be presumptuous in front of Ye Leng’an.

Huangfu Ruiling said nothing, his gaze cold as he looked at Huangfu Shaohua, sending a chill down people’s spines.

Feeling the weight of his gaze, Huangfu Shaohua panicked inwardly.

After cursing inwardly, he turned to Zhou Cui’an, saying, “Fine, I’m here now. Spit it out. If there’s anything, let’s resolve it here today. Don’t bother me again in the future.”

“No, I…” Zhou Cui’an stepped forward, reaching for Huangfu Shaohua’s sleeve but was rebuffed. Her hand hung awkwardly as she pleaded, “Shaohua, I’m carrying your child. You can’t abandon us! Moreover, even if you forsake me, you can’t abandon your child! It’s yours too!”

Huangfu Shaohua looked at Zhou Cui’an mockingly. “Zhou Cui’an, you know well what our relationship is. You claim you’re pregnant, but who’s to say whose child it is?”

Hearing Huangfu Shaohua’s heartless words, Zhou Cui’an felt devastated, unable to respond, only trembling in despair, enveloped in sorrow.

“You heartless bastard.”

No father could bear such words. Zhou Cui’an’s father stepped forward, fists clenched, ready to strike Huangfu Shaohua.

Although Huangfu Shaohua was a playboy, he wasn’t a mere libertine. He grabbed Zhou Cui’an’s father’s wrist, a dangerous glint in his eyes. “Mr. Zhou, I’ll let it slide this time given your emotional state. It’s your problem if you pity your daughter, but don’t expect the world to do so. Ask your daughter why she’s with me. And during our relationship, consider what she gained from me. Then come back to accuse me!”

With that, he shook off Mr. Zhou’s hand, disdain evident in his eyes.

In the past, when facing someone like Zhou Cui’an’s father, his approach would certainly not have been as gentle as today. However, now in front of Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an, he dared not be too impudent. He could only suppress his anger and handle the situation with a more tactful approach.

Zhou Cui’an’s father staggered back, clearly shaken. He turned to his daughter, seeing her evasive gaze, feeling even more shocked.

“Zhou Cui’an, tell me truthfully, what do you hope to achieve today?” Huangfu Shaohua’s gaze pierced Zhou Cui’an, his words ruthless. “And don’t speak to me of love. We both know why you’re with me.”

At this, Zhou Cui’an dropped her pretense. “Shaohua, let’s get married! For our child’s sake, let’s have a proper family! You just have to marry me. I promise not to meddle in your affairs. As long as you give me and the child rightful status, it’s enough.”
