Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The people present were taken aback, as no one expected Ye Yikun to be at a disadvantage against Huangfu Ruiling. The sudden act of Huangfu Ruiling standing up from the wheelchair added to their astonishment.
“Father!” Ye Hongxuan turned around, rushing to Ye Yikun’s side. He reached out to support him, expressing concern, “Are you alright?”
Despite his father’s uneasy appearance, Ye Hongxuan was unaware of the circumstances.
Ye Wanwan had fainted on the ground, and Lian Mengzhu stood by her side.
Had Ye Hongxuan not dismissed the servants upon Ye Leng’an’s arrival, a crowd would likely be gathering now.
With Ye Yikun holding onto Ye Hongxuan for support, he looked at Huangfu Ruiling with visible shock. “Who are you?”
Standing beside Ye Leng’an, Huangfu Ruiling’s cold eyes were fixed on Ye Yikun, akin to observing a lifeless body.
His previous attack had already been merciful; otherwise, Ye Yikun wouldn’t be standing there with his wits about him. This was due to the blood relation between Ye Yikun and Ye Leng’an.
“Old Master Ye, how is this any of your concern?” Ye Leng’an’s tone was casual, in stark contrast to Ye Yikun’s seriousness. She wore a bright smile as she continued, “Moreover, you surely can’t be unaware of who we are!”
Ye Yikun was wary as he looked at Huangfu Ruiling. “Your level of cultivation is impossible. If the Huangfu family had such a formidable figure, it would have become widely known. Who are you?”
Though reluctant, Ye Yikun acknowledged Huangfu Ruiling’s strength.
“Why so much nonsense?” Ye Leng’an rolled her eyes impatiently and added, “And don’t think about blackmailing us! You attacked first, and we were merely defending ourselves.”
Even if the Ye family decided to investigate further, they wouldn’t be afraid. The truth was clear to anyone with discernment.
Ye Yikun, feeling his blood boil, almost spat out a mouthful of blood. “You ingrate! I am your grandfather.”
Truly, having not been raised by his side, the blood relation meant nothing when it came to genuine affection. She was indeed a heartless person, watching her own grandfather get injured without a shred of concern, even making sarcastic remarks.
At this moment, Ye Yikun had completely forgotten that he was injured because he had initiated an attack on Ye Leng’an intending to harm her.
Ye Leng’an, unperturbed, responded with a mocking tone, “I dare not claim that. Didn’t you just say it? Ye Wanwan is your granddaughter. Don’t mistake identities.”
“Look at your daughter.” Ye Yikun vented his anger on Ye Hongxuan, “You actually want her to return to our Ye family? She wants to ruin us!”
He hadn’t expected Ye Leng’an to destroy Ye Wanwan’s dantian without warning. Now, with Ye Wanwan crippled, he wondered about the implications for her marriage with the Murong family.
“Father, Leng’an is just…” Ye Hongxuan sighed bitterly, wanting to defend Ye Leng’an but finding himself at a loss for words.
“But what?” Ye Yikun continued mercilessly, “Even if Wanwan isn’t your biological daughter, you’ve raised her for so many years. Now that she’s been ruined by Ye Leng’an, don’t you feel sorry for her at all?”
Ye Hongxuan bowed his head, choosing not to respond further.
On the other side, Lian Mengzhu, glancing at Ye Wanwan in her arms and then at Ye Leng’an, felt a complex mix of emotions.
Upon discovering that Ye Leng’an was her biological daughter, she felt guilt and had planned to make amends when they reunited.
However, Ye Leng’an had destroyed Ye Wanwan’s dantian without warning. This was something she couldn’t accept.
While Ye Leng’an claimed self-defense due to Wanwan’s initial attack, Lian Mengzhu thought her actions were hasty. She even suspected that Ye Leng’an, resentful that Wanwan had taken her identity for so many years, used this incident as an opportunity to vent her frustrations.
She knew she shouldn’t harbor such thoughts about her own daughter, but she couldn’t control her emotions. Especially seeing that Ye Leng’an seemed to lack any feelings for her biological mother, resentment grew.
Yet, despite her dissatisfaction with Ye Leng’an, her hatred for her younger sister, Lian Zixin, was stronger. Despite treating Lian Zixin well, she had used her trust to secretly swap their daughters. How could she not hate her?
Ye Leng’an remained calm, looking around before focusing on Ye Yikun. With a cold smile, she continued, “Old Master Ye, what kind of person I am has nothing to do with you. As for your Ye family, the threshold is too high for me to reach. So you don’t have to worry about me returning to the Ye family.”
Beside her, Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes exuded coldness as he looked at the Ye family members.
Such a family was unnecessary for An’an. If not for dealing with Ye Wanwan’s situation, they shouldn’t have come to the Ye family.
Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Ye Yikun remained skeptical. “Do you really think I’ll believe these words? If you didn’t want to return to the Ye family, why acknowledge the family? Don’t act so high and mighty. The reason you’re standing here is to claim the position of the Ye family’s young lady, isn’t it? Let me tell you, as long as I’m around, there will be no place for you in the Ye family.”
Earlier, Ye Yikun considered it merely adding one more person. Now, witnessing Ye Leng’an’s arrogance, he realized they couldn’t allow her to enter the Ye family. Who knew how many waves she’d stir up?
Ye Leng’an laughed coldly. “Speaking the truth seems quite challenging in this world! Old Master Ye, you’re like someone in a well, thinking everyone in the world cares about your Ye family, right?”
