Chapter 666: Sit Down and Talk

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

It felt like watching a comedy, and Ye Lengan expressionlessly curled her lips before intending to leave. However, just as she took a few steps, she was intercepted by the approaching Yuan Silei.

Observing Yuan Silei in front of her, Ye Lengan, amidst her impatience, couldnt help but feel a heightened sense of confusion. She genuinely didnt understand why would Yuan Silei persistently cling to her like this just for the sake of reminiscing?

Lengan, lets have a few words! Yuan Sileis tone carried a trace of plea. Just a brief conversation; it wont take up much of your time.

Ye Lengans skepticism deepened as she observed the situation. Yuan Sileis motive for seeking her company at this moment surely extended beyond simple reminiscing. However, she doubted there was anything substantial to discuss between them.

Yuan Silei, Ye Lengan addressed her directly. Ive emphasized this many times before. Our connection ruptured the moment you befriended Ye Xiyuan. The relations.h.i.+p we have now is hardly better than that of strangers. So, I genuinely dont understand why youre seeking me out at this time.

Consider it for the sake of our past friends.h.i.+p! Yuan Silei raised her head, looking at Ye Lengan. Lengan, can we sit down and talk? I promise itll be the last time.

Ye Lengan could tell something important was at play from Yuan Sileis demeanor. Despite her initial reluctance, Ye Lengan eventually agreed, reminded of Yuan Sileis sincere care during her initial days after rebirth.

Outside the school, in a caf

Taking in the familiar surroundings of the cafe, Ye Lengan couldnt help but feel a sense of nostalgia. It seemed like she often engaged in discussions here, both with Ouyang Xuyan and now Yuan Silei.

Considering the present circ.u.mstances, however, attending her cla.s.ses on time today seemed unlikely. She wondered if the princ.i.p.al would be furious upon learning about her tardiness on the first day back from leave.

Nevertheless, even if he were angry, it shouldnt matter. After all, she had gifted the princ.i.p.al a bottle of body-nouris.h.i.+ng pills. Even if he were furious, the impact on his health would be minimal.

Reflecting on this, Ye Lengan felt she was quite considerate of the princ.i.p.al. She was, indeed, a good student!

In contrast to Ye Lengans casual demeanor, Yuan Silei sat upright on the opposite side. One hand rested on the table, and the other stirred the coffee with a spoon. She raised her head, looking at Ye Lengan with a hesitant expression.

It was evident she was in a state of inner conflict.

Remaining nonchalant and composed, Ye Lengan didnt press Yuan Silei to speak. Instead, she relaxed in her chair.

Initially intending for Ye Lengan to initiate the conversation, Yuan Silei couldnt resist breaking the silence. Lengan, its been a while since we sat down and talked like this. I dont know when things changed between us.

Despite being childhood friends with a strong bond, weve become strangers.

Even at this point, she couldnt fathom why Ye Lengan reacted so strongly. After all, she was merely befriending Ye Xiyuan, and there shouldnt be any conflict with their friends.h.i.+p, right?

Moreover, her initial intention of befriending Ye Xiyuan was for Ye Lengans well-being. She believed that after leaving the Ye family, Ye Lengan would struggle alone. Thus, she hoped Ye Lengan would return to the Ye family.

However, in Ye Lengans eyes, all of this seemed like a betrayal, leading to their estrangement.

Yuan Silei, if you want to reminisce here, forgive me for not accompanying you. Ye Lengan raised her head, gazing at Yuan Silei with a wry smile. Ive said it before theres no friends.h.i.+p between us. Since you chose Ye Xiyuan, you should know we cant be friends.

Lengan, 1 genuinely dont understand. Why do you hold such strong opinions about Xiyuan? Yuan Silei expressed her confusion. She clearly hasnt harmed you, and for all these years, youve held her position!

You dont know the details between me and Ye Xiyuan, so dont jump to conclusions, Ye Lengan said coldly. Moreover, Ive never believed I was at fault in the switching incident back then.

Observing Ye Lengans indifference, Yuan Silei, originally eager to say more, chose to remain silent.

If you have something to say, just say it directly. Ye Lengan addressed Yuan Silei, who seemed hesitant to speak. This opportunity to sit down and talk wont come again. So, if you have nothing more to say, Ill leave. Lets not waste everyones time here.

She didnt want to skip cla.s.s just to have a staring contest with Yuan Silei.

Upon hearing Ye Lengans intention to leave again, Yuan Silei became anxious. Wait, Lengan, I need to ask you for something.

At this statement, a flicker of surprise crossed Ye Lengans eyes, followed by a moment of understanding.

Originally, she felt that Yuan Sileis att.i.tude today was somewhat peculiar. So, it turned out she had a request or favor to ask for! However, she was unsure about the nature of the matter, prompting Yuan Silei to approach her for help.

Perhaps, now that the conversation had started, it wasnt as difficult as Yuan

Silei had antic.i.p.ated. After taking a deep breath, Yuan Silei continued, Lengan, Im truly out of options. My familys company is facing some issues, and apart from you, no one else can help. So, I have no choice but to seek your a.s.sistance.

She genuinely didnt want to verbalize this matter. However, it was apparent that Ye Lengan had run out of patience. She wasnt sure if there would be another chance for a face-to-face conversation in the future. So, despite the embarra.s.sment, she had to speak up.

Moreover, what she said was true only Ye Lengan could help her now.

After hearing Yuan Sileis plea, a shadow crossed Ye Lengans eyes. Yuan Silei, Im still a student, and Ive been expelled from the Ye family.. What do you think 1 can do to help your company now?
