“Do you also bear a grudge against Ye Lengan?” Li Qiaomeng asked, her brow furrowed in suspicion. “What exactly intersects between you two? I seem to remember…
Suddenly, as if she had remembered something, Li Qiaomengs voice heightened. “The person who went last time to the villa seeking Ye Lengan was you.”
Back then, during Ye Xiyuan’s visit to the villa, Li Qiaomeng had opened the door. However, her mother had eventually stepped in to host the visit, making her forget about having crossed paths with Ye Xiyuan. Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Ye Anyun!s younger sister.
“The grudge between Ye Lengan and me is none of your concern,” Ye Xiyuan retorted, a flicker of frost in her eyes. “You just need to answer, are you willing to help me deal with Ye Lengan?”
For a moment, Li Qiaomeng teetered on indecision. On one hand, she desperately wished to abscond from the current situation. Yet, assisting Ye Xiyuan in combating Ye Lengan seemed to make her uncomfortable.
Indeed, Li Qiaomeng was unlike Ye Xiyuan, In the event of serious trouble, Ye Xiyuan could rely on her family’s support while Li Qiaomeng had none. Wouldn’t the eventual result be the same as the present? If so, what would be the purpose of her departure following their plan?
“l understand your concern,” Ye Xiyuan spoke up again, “Even in dealing against Ye Lengan on my behalf, I assure you, your assistance will not be wasted. Take some time to reflect.”
“Really?” Li Qiaomeng interjected, suspicion clear in her tone. “Aren’t you afraid that 1 might initially feign acceptance, and later renege upon my departure?”
She indeed harbored such thoughts. Perhaps she should feign acquiescence for now and further strategize once she had left? Nonetheless, she felt sure Ye Xiyuan had a contingency in place. In trepidation, she couldn’t help but voice her internal doubts.
“Do you dare?” Ye Xiyuan bit back, a taunting smile playing on her lips. “Ye Lengan trapped you here for a seemingly insignificant accusation. Could you really imagine that I’m unable to do the same? What Ye Lengan can do, so can
Furthermore, don’t mistake me for Ye Leng’an’s equivocal nature. If I deem it necessary, I can be even more relentless. At least I will assure you that you
will never get the opportunity to depart from here.”
Ye Xiyuan’s smile sent a chill racing through Li Qiaomeng. She could barely deny that if she conceded at this point, it would be akin to jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire. Nevertheless, if she refused, she’d invite imprisonment. Whichever choice she made, neither seemed beneficial to her.
For what felt like an eternity, Li Qiaomeng remained lost in her thoughts.
Observing Li Qiaomengs mute form, Ye Xiyuan refused to hurry her. Faithfully, she believed Li Qiaomeng would reach a rational decision in the end.
Finally, after a long moment, Li Qiaomeng turned to look at Ye Xiyuan, her voice laced with hesitance. “Are you truly capable of arranging my departure from here? And the school…
If she had the means to truly escape her current predicament, her lingering worry would be whether the school would unenroll her as a consequence.
“As long as you can safely extricate yourself from here, there’ll be no issues with your academics,” Ye Xiyuan calmly stated. “After all, as long as you’re lawfully innocent, the school won’t dare act recklessly. However, I have no power to prevent your peers’ discussions and their gaze.”
On hearing these words, Li Qiaomeng clenched her teeth. “If you can assure my safe departure, I can be your pawn. But, you must honor your promise to recompense me. Otherwise, don’t blame me for betraying you.”
She had already braced herself to face her classmates’ raised eyebrows.
“Good.” Ye Xiyuan gave a curt nod, continuing, “l can assist you, but you’ll need to cooperate.”
“What must I do to assist?” Li Qiaomeng urgently queried. “What do we need to do so we can leave here soon?”
“We?” Ye Xiyuan’s eyebrow raised curiously.
“My mother and l!” Li Qiaomeng specified naturally, “Don’t you plan to rescue us both?”
“Are you deluding yourself?” Ye Xiyuan sneered, “Only one of you can leave.
So, you’d better think it over.”
“What do you mean?” Li Qiaomeng looked at Ye Xiyuan in disbelief.
“My meaning is simple. Let your mother take all the blame, and we’ll figure out a way to get you out of here,” Ye Xiyuan said disdainfully. “Do you really think the two of you can leave here unscathed together?”
“But if it’s really like that, then 1 don’t want your help at all!” Li Qiaomeng was quite displeased. “If it’s just my mother taking all the blame, what’s the point? Aren’t you just trying to use us for your benefit?”
“Use you for my benefit?” Ye Xiyuan sat up straight, her eyes filled with disdain as she looked at Li Qiaomeng. “Do you think your mother hasn’t considered taking all the blame and letting you go? Can she do it now without our help? If it weren’t for us, no one would even listen to what you’re saying.”
Li Qiaomeng was too naive, thinking that finding a scapegoat would be so easy. Even if her mother was willing to take the blame, someone had to believe it to make it work.
Hearing these words, Li Qiaomeng stiffened, lost in thought.
“Think carefully about whether you want to do as I say or not,” Ye Xiyuan said, not in a hurry at all. “But remember, once I leave today, I won’t come back.
Your fate will be none of my concern.”
“Fine, I agree,” Li Qiaomeng finally agreed.
“I’ll have someone communicate with your mother later. Just wait for my results.” Ye Xiyuan nodded. “And after you’re out, I’ll give you some money to settle down. But don’t forget, when 1 need your help in the future, you must assist. Otherwise, I can get you out, but I can also put you back in. Next time, you won’t be lucky enough to have someone rescue you.”
Under Ye Xiyuan’s menacing gaze, Li Qiaomeng couldn’t help but shiver, feeling a sense of fear. But in the end, she nodded her head.
Ye Xiyuan was about to leave, but before she could turn around, Li Qiaomeng called her back..
