Chapter 707: Young Lady of the Ye Family
Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Hongxuan, you need to recognize your ident.i.ty. Ye Yikuns expression became more serious. Dont forget, you are the head of the Ye family. Every decision you make must be in the best interest of the Ye family.
Father, Lengan is my biological daughter, Ye Hongxuan couldnt help but speak up, Are you suggesting I disown my own daughter? Besides, she has been wandering for so many years, and I owe her. If I abandon her now for Wanwan, am I even human?
I havent asked you to abandon Ye Lengan. Ye Yikuns voice turned cold. You can acknowledge this daughter, but compared to Ye Lengan, a child raised in the mortal world, Wanwan is clearly more suited to be the Ye familys young lady. As for Ye Lengan, I wont object to how you choose to care for her.
Hearing these cold words, Ye Hongxuan felt a bit agitated. Father, Ye Lengan
Before he could finish, Ye Yikun interrupted, You dont need to persuade me here. Im clear about my stance. You may think Im cold-blooded, but everything I do is for the family. Hongxuan, remember, you are the head of the Ye family, and you must make concessions for the familys benefit. If Ye Lengan can prove shes more suitable to be the Ye familys young lady than Wanwan, then I can acknowledge her ident.i.ty.
Ultimately, as long as Ye Lengan could bring sufficient benefits to the Ye family, he could replace Ye Wanwan at any time.
Finding it hard to accept his fathers att.i.tude, Ye Hongxuan nodded reluctantly. Father, let me think about it.
Though he understood his fathers actions were for the family, acceptance was challenging.
An old fox, Ye Yikun saw through Ye Hongxuans thoughts. He continued, Hongxuan, youre my chosen successor. However, if you feel unfit as the family head, feel free to bring it up. Once youre no longer the head, I wont interfere with your decisions.
As long as Ye Hongxuan was the head of the Ye family, he had to consider the family.
Knowing his father intended to strip him of the family head position, Ye Hongxuan, who had been arguing, gave up.
Being a man, he valued power, especially realizing losing the family head position would make his life in the Ye family difficult. He might not even be able to protect himself, let alone his family.
Seeing Ye Hongxuans realization, Ye Yikun didnt press further. Have you told Wanwan?
Not yet. Ye Hongxuan shook his head. Ye Lengan is coming tomorrow, and I plan to tell them together.
Wanwan will stay. Ye Yikuns eyes flashed coldly. But we cant let Lian Zixin off. Notify them, stop all help to the Lian family from today, and fully suppress the Yan family.
What? Ye Hongxuan was shocked. Father, Lian Zixin did something like that, and the Lian family is unaware. Moreover, they are Mengzhus family, and we
Its precisely because they are Lian Mengzhus maiden family that Im lenient, Ye Yikun said coldly. I only stopped helping them; I didnt suppress them.
Ye Hongxuan had wanted to plead for the Lian family, but seeing Ye Yikuns cold expression, he dared not say more.
He wondered how he would tell his wife.
Let me know when Ye Lengan comes tomorrow. Ill also go and see. Ye Yikun wanted to see what kind of person his granddaughter was. He admired her courage.
However, this was the Hidden World, where courage alone was useless. One had to rely on strength to succeed. A child raised in the mortal world could not compare to Ye Wanwan.
Leaving Ye Yikuns courtyard with worry, Ye Hongxuan prepared for the next day.
Early the next morning, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were in the main hall. They didnt know when Ye Lengan would arrive, but they were eager to meet her.
In the main hall, along with Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu, was Ye Wanwan.
Before breakfast, her parents had informed her to come to the main hall. Not knowing what was happening, seeing her parents serious expressions, she felt an ominous feeling, as if something was beyond her control.
The atmosphere in the main hall was heavy. Ye Wanwan didnt dare to be playful. However, she couldnt help but ask, Father, Mother, who are we waiting for?
Ye Hongxuan glanced at Ye Wanwan with a complicated expression. Youll know when they arrive.
Ye Wanwan obviously didnt want such an answer. She pretended to smile innocently. Father, Mother, who is it? So mysterious and grand, requiring all of us to wait here.
Wanwan Lian Mengzhu turned to Ye Wanwan, wanting to say something, hesitated, and finally spoke, In any case, its an important person. When the time comes, you have to get along well!
After all, she raised the child. Even though she knew Wanwan wasnt her biological child, she couldnt abandon her. Moreover, Ye Yikun showed no intention of letting Wanwan leave.
However, when she saw Wanwan, she couldnt help but think of Lian Zixin. She never expected that her sister, whom she loved dearly, would swap her own child and let her daughter grow up in such an environment.
If Ye Lengan could grow up in the Ye family like Wanwan, receiving their full nurturing, could she be as outstanding as Wanwan, or even more so?
Thinking of this, she shook her head as if to dispel those thoughts. Everything was set in stone. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldnt change anything.
