Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
After leaving Ye Yikun’s courtyard, Ye Leng’an left the Ye family without seeing anyone else.
When Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu heard that Ye Leng’an had left, they couldn’t help but pause. Clearly, they hadn’t expected Ye Leng’an to make a rare visit to the Ye family only to leave without bidding them farewell.
Meanwhile, Ye Wanwan also received news from the servants about Ye Leng’an’s departure from the Ye family.
Upon hearing this news, her brow couldn’t help but furrow. Because when Ye Leng’an left, she had a smile on her face.
She didn’t know what had happened between Ye Leng’an and her grandfather, but she knew that Ye Leng’an must have been in good spirits when she left.
When Ye Leng’an was in good spirits, her mood was inevitably affected.
Before she could dwell on it further, someone came to escort her to her grandfather’s courtyard, saying that the old master wanted to see her immediately.
Upon hearing the servant’s words, Ye Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat, feeling a pang of guilt. She didn’t know why her grandfather had summoned her shortly after Ye Leng’an’s departure.
She wasn’t sure if Ye Leng’an had said anything detrimental to her. Or perhaps her grandfather had learned about her sending someone to investigate, prompting him to summon her for punishment.
Regardless of the reason, she was about to face an unfavorable situation.
With an anxious heart, Ye Wanwan arrived at Ye Yikun’s courtyard. As she stepped into the study, she saw Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu inside.
Ye Yikun was seated behind his desk, his expression inscrutable, making it difficult to discern his emotions.
Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu, too, were summoned, and they appeared bewildered, unsure of what was transpiring.
Once inside the study, Ye Yikun raised his head to address the three individuals before him and began speaking slowly, “Since everyone is present, I have an announcement to make. This matter concerns only the three of you, hence why I’ve summoned you here.”
Ye Yikun’s words immediately put them on edge.
“Hongxuan, Mengzhu, listen carefully.” Ye Yikun gazed at them with a serious expression, saying, “Starting today, only Ye Wanwan is your daughter. Ye Leng’an has no connection with you.”
The unexpected declaration left Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu visibly taken aback. Their expressions shifted upon hearing Ye Yikun’s pronouncement.
“Father,” Lian Mengzhu interjected anxiously, “Has Leng’an offended you in any way? You’re a forgiving person. Don’t take it to heart. She’s still young, and we’ll guide her properly in the future.”
She was unsure of what happened between Ye Leng’an and her father to prompt such a sudden decision! However, it also left her feeling uneasy. She knew her father’s decisions were not easily swayed.
“That’s right, Father,” Ye Hongxuan chimed in quickly, “Don’t hold it against Leng’an. I’ll make sure she apologizes to you.”
Unlike Lian Mengzhu, he wasn’t as optimistic. He knew his father well. Ye Leng’an was still engaged to Huangfu Ruiling. Therefore, regardless of his father’s feelings towards Ye Leng’an, he would want Ye Leng’an to return to the Ye family to maintain ties with the Huangfu family.
It was because of this that his father intended to spread rumors. It was to provide Ye Leng’an with an out while also exerting pressure on her.
However, now his father had firmly stated that Ye Leng’an would no longer have any ties to the Ye family. It was evident that the conflict between his father and Ye Leng’an was significant, perhaps irreparable.
On the other hand, Ye Wanwan wasn’t as preoccupied. If circumstances were different, she’d be tempted to laugh aloud to express her inner joy.
With Ye Leng’an out of the picture, she would forever remain the Ye family’s young lady. She no longer had to worry about Ye Leng’an threatening her position.
However, she could sense that her parents wouldn’t allow such a thing. Hence, no matter how elated she felt, she couldn’t show it.
Thus, Ye Wanwan stood quietly to the side, refraining from expressing any opinions.
In reality, anything she said at this point would be futile. Thus, silence was her best option.
Ye Yikun’s expression remained unchanged. After surveying Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu, he continued, “I’m not seeking your opinion but informing you of my decision.”
Though his tone was mild, it carried an unmistakable air of finality.
“But, Father…” Lian Mengzhu began anxiously, wanting to voice her concerns further
However, before she could continue, Ye Yikun cut her off.
“No ‘buts’,” Ye Yikun continued, “If you have objections or still wish to acknowledge Ye Leng’an as your daughter, you’re free to leave the Ye family. Once you’re no longer part of the Ye family, I won’t interfere with your decisions.”
Upon hearing Ye Yikun’s stern words, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu dared not say anything further, despite their reluctance.
They indeed wanted to acknowledge their biological daughter but were unwilling to leave the Ye family. Leaving would mean they’d lose everything.
Seeing Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s silence, Ye Yikun continued, “Tomorrow, we’ll issue a statement refuting the false rumors. Ye Leng’an has no ties to the Ye family. We only have one young lady, and that is Ye Wanwan.”
Ye Wanwan was ecstatic but kept her emotions in check.
Ye Hongxuan, resigned, could only agree.
“Grandfather, what about Murong Xingrui?” Ye Wanwan suddenly asked, “I did inform him earlier, but now I’ve changed my mind. How do I explain this?”
“Simple,” Ye Yikun responded calmly. “If Murong Xingrui asks, tell him the truth. Due to being abducted at a young age and being away from home for many years, she lacks any emotional attachment to her parents and refuses to return to the Ye family. Ye Leng’an’s stance is firm, and you must respect her decision. Also… Simply put, we don’t wish to establish relations with the Huangfu family through such means, nor do we wish to take advantage of Ye Leng’an.”
