Chapter 544: Something Wrong With Their Mindset

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lin Wanqin, do you really believe that Ye Xiyuan is as innocent and kind as she appears on the surface? Id really like to see if, when Ye Xiyuan causes you to lose everything in the future, youll regret it!

Ye Lengan, shut up. Lin Wanqin was so furious that she could hardly speak. How dare you slander Xiyuan like this? Have you no humanity at all? Let me tell you, your attempts to sow discord are futile. Xiyuan is a good child, and our family will be happy.

Your self-deceptive act is quite amusing, Ye Lengan sneered. I wonder if youll still maintain that resolute heart of yours when you learn the truth in the future.

Ye Lengan. Lin Wanqins face turned red with anger. Your cold-blooded nature makes me wonder what Young Master Huangfu sees in you. If he knew your true colors, he might regret ever knowing you!

Wrong. Let me correct you. Hes no longer the young master; he has taken over as the head of the family, Ye Lengan corrected. Looking at Ye Li and Lin Wanqin, she added, l forgot, given the Ye familys status, you probably wouldnt be aware of this.

You This time, it wasnt just Lin Wanqin; even Ye Li was furious.

All along, Ye Li valued the Ye familys interests and status the most. He was ambitious, wanting to elevate the Ye family to a premier position in the capital, but he had been unsuccessful. Now, faced with Ye Lengans blatant sarcasm, how could he accept it?

And Ye Lengan continued, a smug smile on her face. He knows what kind of person I am. Similarly, you might not know what kind of person Ye Xiyuan is, but everyone in the Nangong family does. I really dont understand how you raised a daughter like hershameless, even claiming someone elses life- saving grace.

Ye Li and Lin Wanqins faces changed rapidly. They understood exactly what

Ye Lengan was referring to. They wanted to retort but couldnt deny the truth.

My time is precious. Ye Lengan glanced at Ye Li and Lin Wanqin. Our relations.h.i.+p is probably worse than that with strangers. So, dont casually stop me in the future. Otherwise, my losses may be beyond your compensation.

Hmph, youre just relying on the Huangfu familys patriarch, Lin Wanqin scoffed. Without the support of their family Head, do you think you have anything to fear?

Ye Lengan looked at Lin Wanqin as if she were naive. Since you know Huangfu Ruiling supports me, why provoke me repeatedly? Arent you afraid

Ill tell Huangfu Ruiling and ask him to help me retaliate against you?

How dare you! Lin Wanqins voice rose, attempting to hide her inner turmoil.

This quarrel with Ye Lengan had happened more than once. The Huangfu family had shown no reaction, leading her to believe that Huangfu Ruiling wouldnt intervene. However, Ye Lengans words today reminded her of something she had overlooked. She was now afraid of potential retaliation from Huangfu Ruiling.

After all, the Ye family had no means to resist a giant like the Huangfu family.

Do you want to try? Ye Lengan spoke nonchalantly. l just dont know how long the Ye family can hold out.

Ye Lengan, todays incident is our fault. Ye Li stepped forward, unhesitant in his apology. In the future, even if we see you, well pretend not to know you. So, we hope to settle this matter privately.

Apologizing to Ye Lengan bruised Ye Lis ego, but between facing Huangfu familys retaliation and apologizing, he chose the latter. The Ye family had indeed gained from the Li familys affair this time, but it only offset previous losses. If the Huangfu family decided to suppress them now, they might not last.

Lin Wanqin opened her mouth to speak but, under Ye Lis gaze, couldnt utter a word.

Ye Li harbored some resentment toward his wife. If she hadnt called out to Ye Lengan, none of this would have happened. As Ye Lengans father previously, he found it hard to accept apologizing and bowing to Ye Lengan.

Mr. Ye, I hope you remember what you said today. Ye Lengan looked at Ye Li sharply. My patience has been worn thin. If theres a next time, dont blame me for forgetting our meager past affection.

l will remember, Ye Li replied with a stern face.

Ye Lengan didnt say anything more. She turned and left.

Left behind, Ye Li and Lin Wanqin wore unpleasant expressions. They hadnt antic.i.p.ated Ye Lengan humiliating them like this.

Zheng Anyang, who had been observing, felt a sense of satisfaction. Sometimes, he wondered if there was something wrong with the Ye familys mindset. If it were him, hed find a way to build a good relations.h.i.+p with Ye Lengan, given their previous connection. However, the Ye family insisted on eroding the scant remaining goodwill in repeated conflicts. They were truly foolish.

One must recognize that, aside from Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Lengan herself was an outstanding individual. Building a good relations.h.i.+p with Ye Lengan would be beneficial. After Ye Li and his wife regained their composure, they glanced at Zheng Anyang, seemingly seeking justice for Ye Xiyuan. However, they didnt antic.i.p.ate Zheng Anyangs stance turning firm. In the end, they received no a.s.surances and could only leave the school dejectedly..
