Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Upon hearing Lian Mengzhus words, Ye Wanwans heart involuntarily skipped a beat. The ominous premonition deep within intensified. She parted her lips as if contemplating words, yet in the end, she remained silent.

Lian Meng Zhu paid no attention to Ye Wanwans lack of response. Her thoughts were entirely occupied by the impending arrival of Ye Lengan. As time ticked away, the tension within her heightened.

The revelation that Ye Lengan was her biological daughter left her at a loss on how to face her. The unsettling feelings she had harbored towards Ye Lengan due to Ye Wanwan, especially the doubts that arose after Lengan disclosed the truth, left her feeling utterly discomposed.

Simultaneously, there existed a yearning to meet Ye Lengan as soon as possible. She was, after all, her daughter a child inheriting her and her husbands bloodline, invoking a profound sense of guilt within her.

As time pa.s.sed, uneasiness crept over Ye Wanwan. A tickle in her throat resulted in an involuntary cough.

Her incomplete recovery from the injuries sustained during the Family Compet.i.tion lingered. Had her parents not summoned her today, she would be resting in her room.

Wanwan, are you alright?

Alarmed by Ye Wanwans cough, Lian Mengzhu instinctively turned her gaze toward her, expressing concern. Wanwan, are you alright? Didnt they say you were much better? Why is it still like this?

Its nothing, just a bit fatigued from the lack of rest these past two days, Ye Wanwan replied with a smile. Tentatively, she suggested, Father, Mother, Im not feeling well. How about I go back and rest first?

She believed her parents wouldnt refuse, given their evident concern. Regardless of the ident.i.ty of the impending visitor, in her parents eyes, she remained the most important.

Lets wait a bit longer! Ye Hongxuan furrowed his brow. The person coming today is crucial. If you cant endure, I can have someone fetch some medicine for you. Wait a moment; we still have something important to discuss with you.

Thats right, Wanwan, hang in there!

Although Lian Mengzhu felt for Ye Wanwans plight, leaving under these circ.u.mstances was out of the question.

Alright. Ye Wanwan nodded, smiling. Despite her tired appearance, she offered no significant resistance, appearing compliant.

Internally, her demeanor belied the turmoil she felt. The days events had thoroughly overturned her understanding of things.

Amidst this internal struggle, Ye Wanwan finally laid eyes on the person she awaited.

The entry of two figures almost prompted a scream from Ye Wanwan. The unexpected visitors were none other than Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan.

Had she not forcefully restrained her inner panic, she might have already rushed out.

At this juncture, she comprehended all that needed understanding. Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan must have been informed; hence, their abrupt visit yesterday. Clearly, her parents had already confirmed the truth, evident in the present gathering.

This realization sent s.h.i.+vers through Ye Wanwan. What awaited her next? Would her parents still regard her as their daughter once aware of the circ.u.mstances? What about her standing within the Ye family?

Despite these concerns, she remained convinced she wouldnt be ousted from the Ye family.

If they intended to expel her, she wouldnt be seated there. Moreover, her mother had implied she should get along with Ye Lengan, hinting at a harmonious relations.h.i.+p.

Well, everyones here! Ye Lengan ushered Huangfu Ruiling inside. Observing the individuals in the living room, she raised an eyebrow and sarcastically remarked, So many people waiting for me Im truly flattered!

In the past, Ye Wanwan would have retorted sharply to Ye Lengans sarcasm. Today, however, she remained silent, refraining from expressing any opinion.

Though Ye Hongxuans expression darkened, he refrained from speaking.

Lian Mengzhu rose immediately. Addressing Ye Lengan, her demeanor mixed nervousness with antic.i.p.ation. Nonetheless, joy prevailed. Lengan, youre here! Quickly, have a seat!

Without hesitation, Ye Lengan pushed Huangfu Ruiling forward, occupying a seat beside her.

Seated, she turned her attention to Ye Hongxuan and asked directly, Hows it going? Master Ye, I presume youre aware of the outcome by now!

Ye Hongxuan nodded and turned towards Ye Wanwan. Deliberating for a moment, he began, Wanwan, theres something I need to tell you. What Im about to say might be profoundly unsettling, but I hope youll listen calmly. Wanwan, youre not my biological daughter. You were switched by Lian Zixin. Ye Lengan is my true biological daughter. And Lian Zixin is your biological mother.

What? Ye Wanwans expression suggested a profound blow. She vehemently shook her head, seemingly attempting to deny the revelation. Impossible, Father. Are you joking with me?

As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes. When she gazed at Ye Hongxuan, her pitiful demeanor resembled that of an abandoned creature both yearning and cautious.

Witnessing this, Ye Hongxuans heart softened. He wanted to offer words of comfort but found himself at a loss.

On the side, Lian Mengzhu couldnt contain herself. She promptly rea.s.sured, Wanwan, though youre not our biological daughter, weve always treated you as such for so many years. Even with Lengans return, youre still our daughter, and well treat you equally.

Really? Ye Wanwan raised her head, looking at Lian Mengzhu. She cautiously asked, Mother, you and Father wont really forsake me, will you?

Of course not. Ye Hongxuan affirmed, Regardless of the circ.u.mstances, youre still our daughter.
