“Alright, Wanwan is staying in her own courtyard,” Lian Mengzhu instructed. “After meeting Wanwan, remember to come back. I’ve prepared some herbs and medicinal pills for your health. You’ll need to take them with you.”
“Alright.”
Without guidance, Lian Zixin swiftly reached Ye Wanwan’s room, knocked, and entered upon receiving permission.
Upon entering, she found Ye Wanwan diligently writing something at her desk.
“Wanwan.” Lian Zixin approached, looking at Ye Wanwan with affection. “What are you writing?”
“It’s nothing.” Ye Wanwan shook her head, stood up, and politely smiled at
Lian Zixin. “Auntie, when did you arrive?”
“Just met your mother.”
Lian Zixin’s tone turned indignant. “I’ve heard about your situation from your mother. They even grounded you for such a minor issue. Clearly, it wasn’t your fault.”
Ye Wanwan’s face stiffened momentarily at Lian Zixin’s words, but she quickly recovered. Seating herself with Lian Zixin on the sofa, she poured a cup of tea for her aunt. “Auntie, Father and Mother are doing this for my own good. Besides, it’s just a few days of confinement. The Family Competition is approaching, and I need to focus.”
She couldn’t quite say whether she liked her auntie or not. However, she found the continuous efforts to please her somewhat tiresome. It was manageable when she was younger, but as she grew older, she wasn’t very inclined to spend time with Lian Zixin. Her auntie’s attitude towards her always seemed peculiar, treating her better than her own biological children. At times, there were even strange glances.
Although she knew from her mother that her auntie treated her as her own daughter due to having lost a daughter before, even with this knowledge, she couldn’t shake off the discomfort.
However, for the sake of her mother’s face, she couldn’t afford to be too confrontational. Thus, she maintained a polite facade in her interactions with herbaunt.
Ye Wanwan didn’t continue the topic after Lian Zixin’s words and instead shifted to the events of the previous night. “Wanwan, what happened last night wasn’t your fault. It was orchestrated by someone named Ye An’an.
Don’t dwell on it.’
“l know.” Ye Wanwan’s eyes flashed with a trace of resentment. “l was impulsive, and even if it was a setup, I can only accept it.”
Lian Zixin immediately reassured her, “Wanwan, don’t worry. I won’t let you suffer. Tell me who this Ye An’an is, and I’ll find a way to seek revenge for you.”
Just now, Lian Mengzhu only briefly mentioned a few words, so she was still unclear about who Ye An’an was. However, witnessing Ye Wanwan being punished because of the other party fueled her anger, and she thought about seeking justice for Ye Wanwan.
Ye Wanwan clarified, “Auntie, let’s forget about this matter. Father doesn’t want us to stir up more trouble.”
She detested Ye Aryan, but she hadn’t lost her sanity. Ye An’an was the fiancée of the Huangfu familys patriarch, making her formidable. Even the Ye family had to tread carefully; what could her aunt do? The Yan family, even in its prime, couldn’t contend with the Huangfu family.
“Wanwan, just tell me. Whatever you want to do is my concern.” Unaware of Ye Wanwan’s hidden meaning, Lian Zixin urged, “Even if something happens, it’ll be my responsibility.”
Seeing Lian Zixin’s expression, Ye Wanwan frowned but politely said, “Auntie, that Ye An’an is Huangfu Lings fiancée, and she accompanied him to the banquet last night.”
Was her aunt’s mind functioning correctly? Those who attended the auction were not ordinary. Even if Ye An’an wasn’t Huangfu Lings fiancée, could the Yan family, a small clan, confront those who attended the auction? What was the point of forcing her to reveal this information?
After hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, Lian Zixin’s face displayed unease. She laughed it off. “Wanwan, I think your father and mother are right. Since it’s in the past, don’t dwell on it.”
Ye Wanwan’s eyes revealed a hint of mockery upon noticing Lian Zixin’s change in attitude. “Auntie, you are right.”
The room fell into an awkward silence.
Quickly changing the topic, Lian Zixin said, “By the way, Wanwan, the Family
Competition is about to start. Are you prepared?”
“There’s nothing to prepare.” Ye Wanwan shrugged. “These competitions ultimately depend on individual strength. There’s no use cramming at the last minute. Just treat it normally.”
“Wanwan, your strength is unparalleled among your peers. You’ll surely achieve excellent results this time,” Lian Zixin said proudly. “Everyone in the Hidden World knows how outstanding you are! If only Chenlang and Xiaolei were half as good.”
The Yan family couldn’t participate in the Family Competition. Only renowned families in the Hidden World qualified. However, Yan Chenlang and Yan Xiaolei attended as Ye family disciples, as they cultivated alongside the Ye family.
“They are doing well. Don’t worry, Auntie,” Ye Wanwan reassured politely.
Lian Zixin nodded and continued, “Wanwan, I know you’re diligent in cultivation, but you still need to take care of yourself. Your body is crucial. You’re still young, with many possibilities.”
Annoyance flickered in Ye Wanwan’s eyes at Lian Zixin’s concern, but she obediently responded, “Don’t worry, Auntie. I’ll take care of myself.”
Lian Zixin persistently cared about Ye Wanwan’s well-being, and though it was late, Ye Wanwan could only endure it for her mother’s sake..
