Chapter 668: Falling out
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
At this moment, she deeply regretted her past actions. If she hadn’t taken Ye Xiyuan’s side back then, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point with Ye Lengan.
If her relationship with Ye Lengan were still as strong as before, even if she didn’t ask, Ye Lengan would have willingly assisted her company through tough times.
Despite her regret, Yuan Silei couldn’t shake off the feeling of injustice. “Ye Lengan, you keep saying I chose Ye Xiyuan’s side. But everything I’ve done has been for your benefit! Even if my methods were wrong, you shouldn’t deny my sincerity!’
Indeed, despite her misguided actions, her intentions were always for Ye Leng’an’s well-being. How could Ye Lengan be so ruthless?
“But I’ve told you before, I don’t want someone as good as you.” Ye Lengan gazed at Yuan Silei, emphasizing each word, “Back then, you also thought I went too far, didn’t you? You’re only bringing this up now because you think I can help you. So, in your eyes, whoever brings you benefits can be your friend, right? Yuan Silei, some things are better left unsaid to avoid embarrassment for everyone. Honestly, you shouldn’t have come looking for me today.”
If Yuan Silei hadn’t come to find her, she would have continued to perceive Yuan Silei as a sanctimonious person, thinking that her lack of discernment in people led her to stand on the opposite side.
Learning this, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but wonder if Yuan Silei had sided with Ye Xiyuan because Ye Xiyuan was the legitimate heiress of the Ye family. Maybe being friends with Ye Xiyuan offered more tangible benefits than being friends with her.
Contemplating this, Ye Lengan’s gaze toward Yuan Silei grew even colder. Memories from her past life resurfaced, recalling when Yuan Silei staunchly stood by Ye Xiyuan’s side. Was it all for this reason?
Caught off guard, Yuan Silei paused. She looked at Ye Lengan with a hint of panic. “Lengan, what do you mean? If you really don’t want to help me, you can say so. There’s no need to insult me here.”
“I’ve said it many times; I won’t help you.” Ye Lengan reached out, disentangling herself from Yuan Silei. “You’re the one who doesn’t understand plain words, persisting in bothering me and pushing us to the breaking point. Yuan Silei, don’t treat others like fools. If you’re wise, steer clear of me in the future. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
With that, Ye Lengan turned and left without hesitation.
Left behind, Yuan Silei watched Ye Leng’an’s resolute departure, her heart filled with resentment and anger.
She had treated Ye Leng’an so well in the past, yet, because of her friendship with Ye Xiyuan, Ye Leng’an denied everything, even insulting her.
It seemed that all the emotions she invested in the past had truly gone to waste. No, over these years, even if she fed a dog, the dog would wag its tail in appreciation. However, the cold-hearted Ye Lengan refused to lend a hand even during her most challenging times.
As Yuan Silei wallowed in self-pity, a stern-faced man suddenly appeared before her.
“What do you want?” Seeing this intimidating man, Yuan Silei felt fear. “Let me tell you, this is a public place. If you dare do anything to me, you won’t escape. ”
Feeling unlucky after the unsuccessful plea to Ye Lengan and the subsequent humiliation, Yuan Silei now faced a seemingly menacing man. It appeared as though he could harm her at any moment.
The man, without uttering a word, coldly handed a phone to Yuan Silei, signaling her to answer it.
Understanding his intent, Yuan Silei was filled with doubt. She was sure she didn’t know the man and was clueless about his intentions.
Regardless, she didn’t dare defy him, taking the phone and answering the call.
As she listened to the voice on the other end, her expression fluctuated. From initial suspicion to eventual determination, she spoke to the caller, “l agree with what you said. But you must fulfill your promises as well.”
After hanging up, the man took the phone, turning to leave without looking back.
Seated again, Yuan Silei picked up the cold coffee, took a bitter sip, paid the bill, and left.
Ye Leng’an remained oblivious to the cafe events after her departure.
Having checked her phone, Ye Lengan realized she was over half an hour late for class. Since she was already late, she decided to return to school tomorrow. Today, she would go find Huangfu Ruiling!
Acting on her decision, Ye Lengan flagged a taxi, heading to Huangye Group.
Arriving there, she smoothly took the elevator to the top floor.
Recognizing her, the receptionists and security guards, aware of her identity, didn’t dare to stop her.
Upon reaching the top floor and stepping out of the elevator, Ye Lengan was taken aback by the sight outside. “Li San, when did you come back?”
Recalling their last meeting in the Hidden World, she didn’t expect both her and Huangfu Ruilings return to coincide with Li San’s.
Spotting Ye Lengan, Li San also hesitated momentarily before quickly responding with respect, “Miss Ye, I returned ahead of the Master to arrange everything. ”
Understanding, Ye Lengan nodded and inquired, “Is Ling in the office?
“Master is inside,” Li San replied. “Miss Ye, you can go in directly.”
Such privileges were exclusive to Ye Lengan. Not even Huangfu Ruilings biological parents enjoyed such treatment..
