Chapter 718: Getting Close

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Lian Zixin left the Ye family in a state of despair, caught off guard by Lian Mengzhus heart of stone.

Before her departure, she had hoped to meet Ye Wanwan. However, the response she received was Ye Wanwans unwillingness to see her. Helpless, she had no choice but to leave the Ye family.

As she stepped through the main gate of the Ye family, Lian Zixin couldnt help but glance back.

Once, she was the cherished younger sister of the Ye familys matriarch. Every time she visited the Ye family, she was treated as an esteemed guest and showered with flattery. But now, she was cast out like garbage, and the prospect of entering this luxurious mansion again seemed bleak.

Furthermore, the chances of encountering Ye Wanwan again were slim. However, she found solace in the fact that despite the exposed truth, Ye Wanwan wasnt expelled from the Ye family. Nevertheless, she had permanently lost her daughter.

Though Ye Wanwan remained in the Ye family, the future treatment she would receive remained uncertain. Regardless, Lian Zixin lacked the ability to do anything for Ye Wanwan now. Additionally, challenges awaited her from the Yan family and her children; the storms ahead were unpredictable.

If asked if she regretted her actions, she certainly did. However, her regret wasnt about swapping the two children; rather, it was about not directly eliminating the child back then.

Yet, everything had changed, and the irreversible facts dictated her present situation. Thus, she departed with a heart full of resentment and indignation.

Meanwhile, Ye Wanwan, recovering in her room, wasnt faring well.

With a pale complexion, sunken eyes, and dry lips, she resembled an elderly person on the brink of death after losing her cultivation.

Previously, despite the exposure of the truth, she was content that her grandfather acknowledged her ident.i.ty. Her engagement to the Murong family ensured her continued status as the Ye familys young lady, even after Ye Lengan crippled her cultivation.

However, the unfolding events exceeded her control. The revelation of Huangfu Ruiling as the head of the Huangfu family and Ye Lengans impending engagement ceremony with him posed a severe threat. If her grandfather entertained the idea of recognizing Ye Lengan, she would be in deep trouble.

Now bereft of advantages and cultivation, her alchemy skills faced severe setbacks. Her hopes hinged on her grandfathers ident.i.ty, and she felt like a convict awaiting sentencing.

Upon learning of Lian Zixins desire to meet her, Ye Wanwan promptly refused. She needed to establish clear boundaries to avoid unfavorable judgments from her parents and grandfather.

As for Ye Yikun, recovering in his courtyard, news of Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengans engagement prompted him to spit out another mouthful of blood, inciting chaos once again.

Ye Lengan, at the center of the rumors, remained the most composed individual.

Her engagement with Huangfu Ruiling was scheduled, with ceremonies in the Hidden World and the mortal world. Subsequently, she would enter university.

In the Hidden World, the Grand Elder and other elders organized the engagement ceremony. Huangfu Ruiling offered suggestions, while Ye Lengan, the main protagonist, carried on as if nothing had happened.

Yet, Ye Lengan felt that her leisurely life irked the heavens. They sent someone to disrupt her life Zhong Yating.

Although Zhong Yating, an outer sect disciple, had no right to meet Ye Lengan, her status as Huangfu Ruixiangs fiance and Huangfu Ruixiang being Huangfu Ruilings younger brother facilitated her entry.

Observing Zhong Yatings attempts to curry favor, Ye Lengan thought it was time to reorganize the Huangfu family. Some individuals needed a reminder to respect the head of the family.

Zhong Yating accompanied her with a smile, trying to get closer to Ye Lengan while constantly flattering her. However, when she saw Ye Lengans expressionless face, her heart couldnt help but waver, completely unable to fathom what the other was thinking.

In reality, if it werent for the urgency of marrying Huangfu Ruixiang, she wouldnt have rashly approached Ye Lengan.

Originally, she intended to find Huangfu Ruiling. However, she was well aware that she might be expelled before even catching a glimpse of Huangfu Ruilings presence.

Hence, she had to resort to indirect methods, bribing a servant and claiming to be Huangfu Ruilings future sister-in-law. She pretended to come here to build a relations.h.i.+p with Ye Lengan, managing to sneak her way in.

She knew that as long as Ye Lengan could help her, she could quickly marry Huangfu Ruixiang. However, she genuinely couldnt decipher what the other was thinking.
