After uttering those words, she cast a glance at both Nangong Xuyao and Ye Xiyuan and said, “You two, come with me now.”

In no time, Murong Yanshu was the first to step down from the platform. Nangong Xuyao shrugged his shoulders, adopting an indifferent demeanor, and followed her.

As for Ye Xiyuan, even as she stood still, she could sense an unprecedented chill. She knew that her situation was dire. In the midst of such a grand banquet, such an incident had occurred. Not only would the people of the four major families be aware of her situation, but even the top-tier families beneath them would now know.

In the future, it might not be as easy for her to establish connections with higher-ranked families.

Moreover, she had no idea how to explain the situation to Murong Yanshu and Nangong Xuyao.

With these thoughts weighing on her, Ye Xiyuan stiffly trailed behind Murong Yanshu and Nangong Xuyao. Her face had lost all color, rendering her exquisite makeup insufficient to mask her pallor. If she had been spirited just moments ago, now she could only be described as ashen.

Once the three figures vanished, the banquet hall resumed its liveliness. However, it was different from the cheerful toasts and lively conversations before. Presently, the guests were abuzz with discussions about the recent incident. Some even speculated whether tonight’s banquet still held any significance and whether Mrs. Nangong would continue to acknowledge Ye

Xiyuan as her goddaughter.

Listening to the varied conversations and witnessing the scrutinizing gazes directed at them, Ye Li’s ire grew fiercer.

He dared not contradict anyone present, for there was not a soul he could afford to provoke, Especially with Ye Xiyuan having incurred the wrath of the Nangong family.

Ultimately, he could only stifle his anger and depart.

Watching Ye Li about to leave, Lin Wanqin hesitated and spoke, “Honey, if we leave like this, what will happen to Xiyuan?”

Should they abandon Xiyuan to her fate? Wasn’t that inappropriate? Especially after the recent incident, they didn’t know how Mrs. Nangong would treat Xiyuan. As parents, it didn’t seem right to leave at this juncture.

“Yeah, Dad, why don’t we wait for Xiyuan?” Ye Anyun chimed in.

“Wait for what? What’s there to wait for?” Ye Li retorted angrily. “Are we just going to stand here and be treated like fools? That wicked girl has brought shame upon our family. Are we going to linger here, waiting for her to further embarrass us?”

If he had ever felt pride in his daughter in the past, now he was consumed by anger. He even regretted his previous decision, thinking that maybe he had made a mistake by choosing Ye Xiyuan over Ye Lengan.

If Ye Lengan had remained his daughter, then perhaps they could have ascended to the ranks of the Huangfu family.

Especially given the vital piece of information he had gleaned while interacting with those people earlier. Huangfu Ruiling was set to assume the position of the Huangfu family’s head. If Ye Lengan were his daughter now, the future head of the Huangfu family might have been his son-in-law.

The weight of regret settled upon him as he contemplated this.

“Honey, there might be some misunderstanding,” Lin Wanqin attempted to defend Ye Xiyuan. “Don’t you know the kind of person she is? She would never do such a thing.”

“I really don’t know what kind of person she is,” Ye Li replied coldly. “She’s only been back for a short while. How could I possibly understand her? I don’t know what kind of person Young Master Nangong is, but I do know that he wouldn’t make such statements without solid evidence. I never expected my daughter to be this formidable, capable of even outsmarting Young Master

Nangong.”

Lin Wanqin opened her mouth to respond but found no words.

Ignoring Lin Wanqin, Ye Li turned to leave..
