Chapter 709: The funniest joke

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

At this heartwarming moment, a mocking voice disrupted the atmosphere.

Your performance is truly impressive! Ye Lengan gazed at Ye Wanwan with an entirely sarcastic look when speaking. Why pretend now? You were well aware of it long ago. You even let Yuan Silei present me with such a generous gift! Didnt you give her the Soul Dissipating Powder, instructing her to destroy me?

Upon hearing Ye Lengan mention Yuan Silei, Ye Wanwans heart skipped a beat, though she maintained an innocent facade. Ye Lengan, I have no idea what youre talking about. I just learned about this matter recently. Its a significant blow to me, and I never imagined I might not be the child of my parents.

Uncertain if Yuan Silei had revealed something, Ye Wanwan knew people in the mortal world were often fools. Even such a small matter couldnt be handled properly, and Ye Lengan had found out. The money was wasted. In hindsight, she should have directly taken action; it would have been more reliable.

Yet, irrespective of whether Ye Lengan knew she orchestrated this, she could never admit it. Even if exposed eventually, there would be individuals willingly accepting the blame for her.

Whether you admit it or not holds no significance to me, Ye Lengan stated casually. As long as Im convinced it was you, I dont need evidence.

Hearing Ye Lengans words, Ye Wanwans expression turned despondent. I know you resent me for occupying your position for so many years, but I never wanted any of this! You cant accuse me of harming you just because of that!

Her appeasing demeanor evoked sympathy from Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu, who had raised her. Despite knowing she wasnt their biological child, their emotional attachment remained.

Lengan, there may be some misunderstanding. Lian Mengzhu smiled, attempting to mediate. Well investigate the matter you mentioned. If someone truly aims to harm you, we wont stand idly by.

Thats right, Ye Hongxuan added. Although Wanwan is a bit indulged, she isnt so ruthless.

As the Ye familys patriarch, he was well-acquainted with the Soul Dissipating Powder. Therefore, he doubted Ye Wanwan would commit such an act. He believed there must be a misunderstanding.

Master Ye and Mrs. Ye are truly magnanimous! Huangfu Ruiling sneered, his tone dripping with mockery. You dont believe your biological daughters words but readily trust an adopted one. If its not ones own upbringing, theres no attachment, right?

Fortunately, Anan lacked emotions and expectations for her parents. Otherwise, facing such a situation would be heartbreaking. The pair in front of her didnt deserve to be Anans parents.

Huangfu Ruilings words made Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhus expressions awkward. They wanted to explain but were at a loss for words.

What audacity!

At that moment, an elderly voice resonated, and Ye Yikun entered. As he did, he emanated his own aura, directed towards Huangfu Ruiling. This is an internal matter of our Ye family. What qualifies you to intervene?

With Ye Yikuns entrance, a potent aura spread through the living room. Even Ye Hongxuan struggled to breathe, let alone Lian Mengzhu and Ye Wanwan. They felt a tangible difficulty in catching their breath.

Only Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, facing the pressure, remained unaffected.

Observing Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengans reactions, Ye Yikun found their responses surprising.

When his gaze landed on Ye Lengan, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

The fact that she remained unaffected under his pressure, without an increased heartbeat, highlighted her formidable psychological resilience. If Ye Lengan had grown up in the Ye family, given her courage and capabilities, she would likely have achieved more than Ye Wanwan. Unfortunately, she grew up in the mortal world. Even if nurtured now, she couldnt surpa.s.s Ye Wanwan.

Furthermore, the critical factor was that Ye Wanwan was already engaged to Murong Xingrui, maintaining the relations.h.i.+p between the Ye and Murong families.

Hence, Ye Wanwan must not lose her status as the Ye familys young lady.

You are Ye Lengan, Ye Yikun stated, looking at her seriously. Since you are part of the Ye family, return. From today, the Ye family will dedicate efforts to nurture you. However The Ye family absolutely cannot become a joke with a secretly swapped child. Therefore, Wanwans status wont change. I will announce that due to frail health, you were sent elsewhere for recovery and only recently returned. You will be recognized as the second young lady of the Ye family.

Ye Wanwans heart finally settled.

She knew her grandfathers authority in the family was absolute. Even though her father was now the head of the family, her grandfathers orders still couldnt be disobeyed. With her grandfather personally acknowledging her ident.i.ty, even if Ye Lengan returned, it wouldnt affect her position.

With this in mind, a subtle smile appeared on Ye Wanwans lips. When she looked at Ye Lengan, her eyes carried a hint of provocation.

Sensing Ye Wanwans provocation and hearing Ye Yikuns benevolent words, Ye Lengan found it amusing. In fact, she burst into laughter. You truly enjoy joking. This is by far the funniest joke Ive heard.

Shut up. Seeing Ye Lengans expression, Ye Yikuns face darkened. When he gazed at Ye Lengan, his expression turned considerably colder. Ye Lengan, dont think that because you have Ye family blood, Ill show leniency. Let me make it clear, as long as Im unwilling to acknowledge you as my granddaughter, even if youre Hongxuans daughter, you wont enter the Ye family.

Ive never considered returning to the Ye family, Ye Lengan retorted, resting her chin on her hand and looking at Ye Yikun with a mocking smile. Who told you I wanted to return?
