After hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, Lian Mengzhu couldn’t help but frown. “What about that Ye Lengan you mentioned earlier?”
Hearing Ye Leng’an’s name from Lian Mengzhu’s mouth, Ye Wanwan felt a little guilty. After calming down, she explained, “Ye Lengan is Huangfu Ruilings girlfriend. We had an unpleasant encounter before. It was probably because Huangfu Ruilings mother agreed to our marriage, making her, as Huangfu Ruilings girlfriend, unhappy. She constantly insulted me, so I wanted to teach her a lesson. But I was only injured by Huangfu Ruiling later.”
While speaking, she intentionally or unintentionally avoided Lian Mengzhu’s gaze, fearing her mother might detect something amiss. If thoroughly investigated, any traces of deception could be detrimental.
Lian Mengzhu, focusing on Ye Wanwan, didn’t notice her daughter’s evasion.
After hearing Ye Wanwan’s explanation, Lian Mengzhu frowned. “What’s Ye Lengan thinking? This matter was caused by Huangfu Ruilings mother. What does it have to do with you? Why does she have the right to insult you like that?”
“Mother, let’s not talk about this anymore,” Ye Wanwan quickly interjected. “If we bring it up, we might not be in an advantageous position. I didn’t want to mention it at the Huangfu family, fearing they might countercharge.”
Lian Mengzhu sighed. “I’ll find a way to explain this to your father later.”
With Lian Mengzhu’s approval, Ye Wanwan sighed in relief. “Mother, thank you. Also, don’t mention the matter between me and Huangfu Ruiling anymore.”
Lian Mengzhu looked at Ye Wanwan with a hint of surprise. “Wanwan, didn’t you say you don’t care anymore?”
“Mother, this matter was only discussed privately. If we bring it up repeatedly, it might accidentally leak out.” Ye Wanwan hesitated. “I’m not engaged yet.
I’m afraid it will have some impact.”
Lian Mengzhu realized. “This is our negligence. Since the matter has reached this point, it’s not appropriate to continue mentioning it to the Huangfu family. However, they are unwilling to forgive your actions in the Family Competition, which is very disadvantageous for you.”
Ye Wanwan was upset about it but dared not show it. She looked at Lian Mengzhu with a guilty expression. “Mother, I’m sorry. It’s all because I wasn’t sensible that these things happened.”
Seeing Ye Wanwan’s weak state, Lian Mengzhu couldn’t blame her. “Alright, don’t think about these things anymore. Rest well!
Ye Wanwan nodded obediently.
Lian Mengzhu shook her head, stood up, and left the room.
After leaving the room, Lian Mengzhu went to the kitchen and then to the study.
Sure enough, in the study, she found her husband sitting behind the desk with unresolved anger on his face.
“You are still angry!” Lian Mengzhu placed the soup bowl on the table and said gently, “Have some soup first!”
Though angry, Ye Hongxuan’s frustration wasn’t directed at his wife. After taking the bowl of soup, he said, “If you’re here to plead for Wanwan, then don’t say anything.”
Today, he felt deeply disappointed in his daughter. Everything he did was for her, yet she embarrassed him in front of the Huangfu family. He didn’t even want to care about her anymore.
“I’m not trying to plead for Wanwan. I just want you to know what Wanwan thinks.” Lian Mengzhu smiled gently. “Wanwan already explained it to me just now. If you still think you can’t forgive her, I won’t persuade you. How about it?”
Seeing no response, she knew her husband tacitly agreed to her explanation. She then repeated what Ye Wanwan had said to him.
After listening, Ye Hongxuan’s expression didn’t ease up; it became even darker. “So, all this time, she has been misleading us, making us think Huangfu Ruiling was bullying her, right?”
Lian Mengzhu heard the displeasure in his words, but it was the truth. She nodded.
“This bastard!” Ye Hongxuan slammed the table. “We’re her parents, and she lied to us about such a big matter. No wonder she kept saying we should forget about this matter at the Huangfu family. It turns out we’re the ones in the wrong.”
“Hongxuan, it’s not our fault,” Lian Mengzhu tried to persuade him. “If it wasn’t for Huangfu Ruilings mother’s misdirection, Wanwan wouldn’t have ended up like this. Besides, Huangfu Ruilings girlfriend shouldn’t have insulted Wanwan! ”
Ye Hongxuan took a deep breath, trying to calm down. He slowly said, “Mengzhu, have you noticed that Wanwan’s behavior seems a little abnormal recently?”
Lately, Ye Wanwan’s actions had indeed been too radical. First, she bid an exorbitant price for the Seven Star Flower, and later, there were those incidents during the Family Competition. At times, he couldn’t help but wonder if Ye Wanwan had experienced some kind of shock, leading to these abnormal behaviors.
Lian Mengzhu’s face showed a hint of worry. “Even if you didn’t say it, 1 would have thought so. Now that Wanwan is like this, I can’t bear to be too harsh on her. She has gromm up. Shouldn’t we adjust our way of teaching?”
Ye Hongxuan couldn’t help but sigh. “Wanwan has made too many mistakes recently. The elders in the family are already very dissatisfied with her. Today, the Huangfu family was not willing to forgive her. Now, those elders are leaning towards Chenhao’s side. I think the elders will soon propose the idea of changing the heir.”
Ye Chenhao was his younger brother’s eldest son, Ye Wanwan’s cousin. All along, he had been eyeing the position of the family’s heir..
