Clues About Her Past 2

"Hmph, with his personality, I'm afraid he won't be able to think clearly at all." Zhongyu Liuying tried her best to calm down. "In his eyes, I simply don't exist as his mother. He considers me redundant."1

"Auntie, how can you think that way?" Zhongyu Yiran comforted her softly, "You're his mother. Everything you do must be for his good. Don't worry, Brother Huangfu will eventually understand your painstaking efforts."

"If only Ruiling could be as sensible as you." Zhongyu Liuying pulled Zhongyu Yiran's hand and suddenly asked, "Yiran, are you very unhappy that I suddenly brought up the matter of Ye Wanwan today?"

Zhongyu Yiran's feelings for Huangfu Ruiling were naturally very clear to her. She also liked Zhongyu Yiran very much. Otherwise, she would not have given her the surname Zhongyu. After all, the Zhongyu family had a certain status in both the Hidden World and the mortal world. Not everyone was qualified to have the surname Zhongyu, and Zhongyu Yiran could get it because she liked this little girl. 

However, liking Zhongyu Yiran and allowing her to become Huangfu Ruiling's wife were two different things. Zhongyu Yiran was just an orphan and did not have the qualifications to become the future mistress of the Huangfu family. Therefore, she could not let Zhongyu Yiran become Huangfu Ruiling's lawful wife.

Hearing Zhongyu Liuying's words, Zhongyu Yiran's face immediately turned pale. Her lips moved before she finally said, "Auntie, I know I'm not worthy of Brother Huangfu."

Deep down, Zhongyu Yiran felt resentful. For years, she had been doing her best to please Zhongyu Liuying, all for the position by Huangfu Ruiling's side. However, now Zhongyu Liuying had suddenly chosen Ye Wanwan as his wife. How could she not feel bitter?

But even so, she absolutely could not show it. Because everything she had now was because of Zhongyu Liuying. If she lost Zhongyu Liuying's favor, then she would truly have nothing left. Although her brother had left her considerable wealth, it couldn't compare to her current life. If she didn't bear the Zhongyu name, she wouldn't even be on par with Ye Leng'an.

"Yiran, I like you very much. But…" Zhongyu Liuying's eyes sharpened, and she continued, "To be honest, with your status, it's absolutely impossible for you to become Ruiling's wife. Ruiling's wife must be a young lady from a prominent family in the Hidden World." 

Her face was already pale, but after hearing Zhongyu Liuying's merciless truth, she looked even more unsteady. If not for her willpower, she might have already fainted.

Seeing Zhongyu Yiran's pale face, Zhongyu Liuying couldn't bear it anymore and continued, "However, in the future, there will definitely be a place for you by Ruiling's side. As long as I'm here, he won't mistreat you. Other than status, everything Ye Wanwan has, you will have too. Moreover, when the time comes, if you give birth to a child, then I can make the decision to include your child in the family records."

This was the most significant concession she could make. Generally, women from outside the family wouldn't even have the privilege to bear children.

"Auntie, I…" Zhongyu Yiran's eyes were moist and her voice choked with gratitude. "Thank you, Auntie. You're the best person to me in this world."

She seemed touched, but her heart turned cold deep down. It turned out that all along, in Zhongyu Liuying's eyes, she was only fit to be an insignificant woman with no name or status. All her efforts to curry favor with Zhongyu Liuying over the years now seemed like a joke. 

Zhongyu Liuying's words were even more insulting to her. Was she not worthy of being the legal wife? Since Zhongyu Liuying looked down on her, she would make sure Zhongyu Liuying saw that she, Zhongyu Yiran, could also become the lawful wife.

Thinking this, a hint of determination flashed in Zhongyu Yiran's eyes.

"It's good that you can understand." Seeing Zhongyu Yiran's expression, Zhongyu Liuying was very satisfied. "Don't worry, in the future I won't mistreat you. As long as I'm here, even if Ye Wanwan is the lawful wife, she definitely won't be able to bully you."

Zhongyu Yiran leaned against Zhongyu Liuying's shoulder, her voice choked with emotion. "Auntie, thank you. You are the best person to me in the world."
