Chapter 794: Dilemma

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

The humiliation she endured at the auction, the agony of her dantian shattering, these pains were etched in Ye Wanwans heart. Given the chance, she wouldnt let Ye Lengan off the hook.

However, she wasnt naive. Her current cultivation level was no match for Ye Lengans, plus Ye Lengan had Huangfu Ruiling backing her. She couldnt touch Ye Lengan at the moment. So, swallowing her pride was her only option.

Furthermore, she had to play nice with Ye Lengan.

Knowing Ye Lengan would never care for her flattery, shed be the one to suffer in the end. If her adoptive parents witnessed it, theyd feel sorry for her.

Only by continuously enduring could she make her adoptive parents completely disillusioned with Ye Lengan. Only then could she firmly secure her position as the Ye familys young lady.

With these thoughts in mind, Ye Wanwan composed herself and approached Ye Lengan with a bright smile. Sister, youre here! Grandfather has been waiting for you for quite some time.

Witnessing this scene, onlookers couldnt help but speculate about the connection between Ye Lengan and the Ye family.

Ye Yikun noticed Ye Wanwans actions but stayed silent. Perhaps Ye Wanwans actions had struck a chord with him.

Due to previous conflicts, he couldnt bow down to Ye Lengan now.

However, Ye Lengans status was extraordinary as Huangfu Ruilings fiance. With the Huangfu family winning the Family Compet.i.tion, they gained priority in mining the spirit stone mine for five years. The Huangfu family was already showing signs of becoming the top clan.

If Ye Lengan returned to the Ye family now, it would benefit them greatly. However, repairing their relations.h.i.+p wasnt easy. If Ye Wanwan extended an olive branch first, itd be the best choice.

Unfortunately, reality didnt align with Ye Yikuns intentions.

Sister? Ye Lengans lips curved slightly, a hint of disdain in her tone. Who are you calling? I dont recall having a sister! I didnt even know who my parents were. How could I possibly have a sister?

These casual words caused several peoples expressions to drastically change.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhus faces turned pale.

Especially at the mention of her unknown parents, a hint of pain flickered in their eyes. They wanted to speak up as Ye Lengans parents, but the situation prevented them from doing so.

Otherwise, Ye Wanwan would suffer greatly. Moreover, Murong Xingrui was present. If they couldnt explain themselves and Wanwans engagement was affected, it would be disastrous.

Though Ye Lengan was their daughter, Wanwan was also their daughter. They had to consider Wanwans feelings.

Ye Yikuns expression darkened as he looked at Ye Lengan, his gaze filled with coldness.

Indeed, even with the bloodline of the Ye family, not being raised within it made her unable to represent the family properly. When Ye Lengan returned to the Ye family in the future, proper guidance would be necessary. Otherwise, it would only bring shame to the whole family.

Ye Wanwans smile became strained. She looked aggrieved but apologized to Ye Lengan. Im sorry, Miss Ye. I just thought it would bring us closer. I didnt mean any harm. Please forgive me.

Her appeasing demeanor evoked sympathy.

It stood in stark contrast to Ye Lengans aggressiveness.

Unable to bear seeing his fiance wronged, Murong Xingrui stepped forward, facing Ye Lengan with anger. Miss Ye, Wanwan meant well. Why be so aggressive?

Though unsure of the grudge between Ye Lengan and Wanwan, Wanwan was his fiance. Naturally, he had to defend her.

Moreover, Ye Lengan was too rude. Wanwan had been kind, and there was nothing wrong with her actions. What right did Ye Lengan have to say such things?

Whats it to you? Ye Lengan glanced at Murong Xingrui, indifferent. Cant you see that Ye Wanwan herself has no issue? Do you need to intervene?

Wanwan is my fiance. Her problems are mine, Murong Xingrui a.s.serted protectively. Treating her this way, as her fianc, I have every right to stand up for her.

Understanding the situation, Ye Lengans eyes flickered. Blinking, she continued, So what if youre her fianc? Havent you seen it? She thinks she misspoke. What right do you have to call me aggressive? Since the princ.i.p.al party hasnt spoken, others should refrain from meddling. Or

There was a wicked gleam in Ye Lengans eyes as she looked at Ye Wanwan. Smiling brightly, she suggested, Ye Wanwan, why dont you clarify if there was any issue with my att.i.tude just now? Or would you like to explain our relations.h.i.+p to him?

Seeing Ye Lengans smile, Ye Wanwans heart skipped a beat. Indeed, what she said put her in a predicament.

Now, no matter her response, it seemed wrong. Supporting Murong Xingrui would prompt Ye Lengan to reveal everything, jeopardizing her future in the Hidden World. Conversely, siding against Murong Xingrui would offend him, potentially straining their relations.h.i.+p.

Everyone awaited Ye Wanwans reply.

Enough, Ye Hongxuan interjected, standing up. Today is Fathers birthday. Lets just enjoy ourselves. As for other matters, lets not dwell on them.
