Ye Li’s eyes lit up when he heard Lin Wanqin’s words. He had almost forgotten about this matter. Ye Leng’an had promised them when leaving the Ye family and when in the principal’s office.
However, he did not take this promise to heart at all before and didn’t think that he would need Ye Leng’an’s help. So that sentence went in his ear and out the other. If his wife hadn’t suddenly brought it up today, he would have forgotten it.
Ye Leng’an sat up straight and narrowed her eyes, looking thoughtful when hearing Lin Wanqin’s words. “Do you mean that you want to use this promise now?”
Since she had made this promise, she naturally would not go back on it. The 50 million she gave Ye Li would not erase their kindness in upbringing her for so many years. So, this promise was still valid.
“That’s right.” Ye Li nodded. “I want you to deliver on the promise today. I want you to withdraw the lawsuit and not take Zhao Yanran to court for defamation.
It would be best if Ye Leng’an was willing to fulfill this promise. If they could get two to three hundred million with this promise, that was really worth it!
Ye Leng’an nodded her head and revealed a meaningful smile. “I remember what I said and will definitely keep it. If you insist on using that promise, then I won’t sue Zhao Yanran. However, I’m curious about one thing. Who will you choose, Zhao Yanran or Ye Xiyuan?”
Both Ye Li and Lin Wanqin had a bad feeling when they heard the question and saw the smile on Ye Leng’an’s face. They didn’t know why Ye Leng’an suddenly mentioned Xiyuan at this time.
“What do you mean?” Ye Li looked at Ye Leng’an with his piercing eyes. “Ye
Leng’an, are you trying to play tricks just because you don’t want to agree?”
“No, you’re thinking too much.” Ye Leng’an leaned back on the sofa again and smiled lazily. “This time, you came to visit me because the benefits offered by the Zhao family were enough for you to make this trip. But I wonder which one you will choose, the benefits or your daughter?”
“Ye Leng’an, let me tell you. If you hurt Xiyuan, I will never let you off.” Lin Wanqin looked at Ye Leng’an with coldness in her eyes. “If you dare to harm even a hair on Xiyuan’s head, I will definitely fight you to the death. I’m not just saying that. I’ll definitely do what I say.”
After spending so much time with her daughter who was lost and now found, she really doted on Ye Xiyuan. At the same time, Ye Xiyuan’s understanding made her heart ache.
She often thought that if she had been more careful back then, she might not have lost her biological daughter for so many years. Therefore, she always wanted to make it up to her daughter. Now, her daughter was her inverted scale. If Ye Leng’an dared to harm Ye Xiyuan, she would not show mercy.
Ye Leng’an remained calm when seeing how protective Lin Wanqin was. If it was her first life, she might have felt sad because of Lin Wanqin’s protection of Ye Xiyuan, but now, she was completely different. After experiencing so much, she no longer had any feelings for her parents. That promise was only to completely cut off the karma between her and the Ye family.
“You guys should know clearly that Zhao Yanran slandered me because she chose to believe those rumors. However, do you know where those rumors came from?”
“What do you mean?” Ye Li looked at Ye Leng’an as if he wanted to see through her. “Don’t tell me you want to say that those rumors have something to do with Xiyuan!”
“That’s impossible. Xiyuan isn’t that kind of person.” Lin Wanqin subconsciously retorted, “She’s so kind and will never spread such rumors. Ye Leng’an, I won’t allow you to slander her here.”
She had absolute trust in her daughter. Xiyuan had a nice personality and would never do such a thing. Ye Leng’an was trying to mislead them on purpose.
“Mrs. Ye, it seems that you really don’t understand your daughter at all!” Ye Leng’an smiled and shook her head. “According to the police’s investigation, Ye
Xiyuan didn’t just spread rumors.. She’s the culprit!”
