Chapter 772: Disgust

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

The conversation ended on a sour note.

Ye Lengan stood up and left.

Meanwhile, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu remained seated, their expressions solemn. It was evident that both of them were feeling quite unsettled.

Hongxuan, what do you think we should do now? Lian Mengzhus voice carried a hint of anguish. Lengan she wont forgive us, will she?

All Lian Mengzhu could discern from Ye Lengans words was resentment towards them, indicating an unwillingness to forgive. That seemed to be the underlying reason for her remarks.

Dont dwell on it too much, Ye Hongxuan comforted. Right now, Lengan is just taking it hard. With time, shell come around. Shell understand our intentions eventually.

Will that day really come? Lian Mengzhu sounded uncertain. Lengan she seems very adamant.

Lets take it slow, Ye Hongxuan said, though not feeling particularly optimistic. No matter what, were her biological parents. That bond cant be changed, nor can it be severed.

He wasnt sure if he was rea.s.suring himself or Lian Mengzhu.

Yeah. Lian Mengzhu nodded. Then she asked suddenly, What about Fathers instructions? It seems like Lengan wont attend his birthday banquet.

Just tell the truth when we get back. Ye Hongxuan sighed. Weve tried our best to convince Lengan. If she refuses, theres nothing more we can do.

Lian Mengzhu nodded silently.

The couple sat in silence for a long while before finally getting up and leaving.

Meanwhile, after leaving the cafe, Ye Lengan took a taxi to Huangye Group.

How did it go? Huangfu Ruiling asked as Ye Lengan entered, rising from his seat to join her on the sofa. Have Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu left?

He had already guessed that Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were the ones seeking Ye Lengan when the driver came back to report.

I think it went okay, but Ye Lengan pursed her lips and smiled. They might not be feeling too good.

However, this wasnt her concern.

Oh. Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow. Seems like the conversation didnt go well.

Well Ye Lengan shrugged. Ive told them straight up that everyone should mind their own business from now on. Im getting a bit impatient with dealing with them.

Huangfu Ruiling could already imagine the reaction of Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. If you dont want to see them, Ill find a way to ensure they cant come back to the mortal world!

Thats unnecessary. Ye Lengan shook her head. Let them do as they please. But I wont be as accommodating next time. Did you know? They actually came this time to invite me to Old Master Yes birthday banquet. Arent they afraid Ill upset him?

Old Master Yes birthday banquet? Huangfu Ruiling understood. Even the Huangfu family in the Hidden World has been invited. I plan to go take a look. Will you come?

You want to go? Ye Lengan was surprised. I thought youd send Grand Elder for such an event!

Remember how Ye Wanwan suddenly regained her cultivation and even improved it? Huangfu Ruiling asked. Why not take this chance to find out?

That makes sense. Ye Lengan nodded. It would seem too abrupt if we went to investigate the Ye family directly. I should have accepted Ye Hongxuans invitation today if I had known earlier.

It doesnt matter. Huangfu Ruiling chuckled, shaking his head. If you accept Ye Hongxuans invitation, youll attend as a daughter of the Ye family. But if I accompany you, itll be different. Youll be there representing the Huangfu family. That carries a different significance.

True. Ye Lengan agreed. But the Ye family is indeed very pragmatic.

At this, a cynical smile crept onto Ye Lengans lips. Old Master Ye swore hed never acknowledge my ident.i.ty. But how long has it been? As soon as he found out we were engaged, he sent Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu to emotionally manipulate me. Do they think Ill yearn for parental love?

Old Master Ye is a competent leader but not a good relative, Huangfu Ruiling remarked lightly. He prioritizes the familys interests too much.

I dont like him, but I dislike Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu even more. Ye Lengans expression turned indifferent. They take everything for granted. They actually believe Ye Wanwan and I can coexist peacefully. Do they think I can forget that Ye Wanwans biological mother switched us? Or do they think Ye Wanwan can forget that I crippled her Dantian?

So sometimes she found Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu quite ridiculous. Although she and Ye Wanwan werent enemies, they could never be good sisters. In fact, they could only be adversaries.

Shed bet that Ye Wanwan would want to get rid of her now.

Perhaps its just their wish, Huangfu Ruiling said lightly. They hope you and Ye Wanwan can fulfill it for them.

What a joke, Ye Lengan scoffed. Who do they think they are? Do they have the right to demand anything from me? Just because of some distant blood tie? Its simply wishful thinking.

Alright, if you dont like them, just avoid seeing them in the future. Huangfu Ruiling reached out and patted Ye Lengans shoulder, smiling. Youre my wife. You have the right to be willful. Whatever happens, Ill always stand by you.

Youre mistaken. Ye Lengan lifted her head, looking at Huangfu Ruiling with a sweet smile. Even if Im not your wife, Im still me. I still have the right to be willful. If I want to, I can. And if I dont want to, no one can force me.
