Chapter 821: Grateful to Fate

Translator:Dragon Boat TranslationEditor:Dragon Boat Translation

Worried that Ye Lengan might expose Ye Wanwans true ident.i.ty, potentially jeopardizing the marriage between the Ye family and the Murong family, Ye Yikun wasted no time. Shortly after Ye Lengans departure, a clarification statement was promptly issued.

The release of this clarification statement caused quite a stir in the Hidden World. Given the Ye familys prior silence on the matter, many had a.s.sumed the allegations were true. The swift turnaround came as a surprise to many.

Questions arose as to why the Ye family had not clarified matters earlier if they were merely rumors. Moreover, the recent influx of benefits from other families to the Ye family fueled speculation. Why had the Ye family stayed silent until now?

Conversations buzzed about potential ulterior motives behind the scenes. However, with the Ye familys clarification, and Ye Lengan maintaining silence throughout, the situation remained shrouded in mystery.

Since the Ye familys statement, there had been no further developments. The true nature of the situation remained a puzzle.

At the time of the Ye familys announcement, Ye Lengan was with Huangfu Ruiling. Unsurprised by the news, she said, Ye Yikun acted swiftly! Within a day, the matter has been clarified.

Amused by this, Huangfu Ruiling quirked an eyebrow. Or perhaps he fears youll speak recklessly, tarnis.h.i.+ng the Ye familys reputation, and endangering Ye Wanwans wedding.

I believe thats the most plausible explanation. Ye Lengan smiled wryly. It seems quite simple now for the Ye family to clarify things.

It ultimately depended on their willingness to do so.

With the Ye familys recent statement, youll never return to them. Huangfu Ruiling observed solemnly.

Given the Ye familys public disa.s.sociation from Ye Lengan, it seemed unlikely she would ever be welcomed back. Ye Yikuns prioritization of the familys reputation and interests, coupled with the compelled statement, likely left a bitter taste.

Therefore, unless Ye Lengan could bring significant benefits or Ye Yikun pa.s.sed away, a return to the Ye family was improbable.

Thats probably for the best. Ye Lengan chuckled. I antic.i.p.ated this outcome when I approached Ye Yikun. I have no desire to be a.s.sociated with the Ye family. This suits me fine.

Hearing this, Huangfu Ruiling frowned. Are you certain?

Dont tell me you think I harbor feelings for Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu? Ye Lengan looked at Huangfu Ruiling oddly. I thought you understood by now. My so-called biological parents are no more to me than strangers!

I understand. Huangfu Ruiling nodded, then added, Im simply concerned you might regret your decision one day.

He could see through Ye Lengans current mindset, but he feared potential future regrets.

I wont. Ye Lengans smile was resolute. Ive chosen this path, and Ill see it through, even if it means kneeling. Besides, I dont consider them parents.

Observing Ye Lengan, Huangfu Ruiling refrained from further comment. Instead, he reached out and grasped her hand. Whatever path you choose, Ill stand by you.

Touched by Huangfu Ruilings sincerity, Ye Lengan chuckled. I know. And I truly have no feelings for my supposed parents, so you neednt worry. Besides

Her smile brightened as she continued, You know just how much Ive been through. Thats why Im not as fragile as you might think.

It wouldnt be entirely accurate to say she had no expectations for her so-called biological parents. She simply wasnt the same girl from her first life, yearning for familial affection.

If, from the moment she learned the truth, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu had firmly stood by her side without hesitation or excessive pity for Ye Wanwan, she might have been able to accept them as her parents now.

Sadly, it seemed Ye Wanwans position as their adopted daughter held greater significance in Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhus hearts. She felt no need to vie for their attention with Ye Wanwan, for obtaining affection through manipulation wasnt genuine.

Such impurity was something she wanted no part of.

Especially when, despite knowing it was Ye Wanwans biological mother who had swapped them, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu still insisted on keeping Ye Wanwan by their side. At that moment, she knew her bond with them was shallow indeed.

Given this, she saw no reason to continue entangling herself. Besides, she was above it.

Recalling the experiences Ye Lengan had shared, Huangfu Ruiling looked at her with a hint of pity in his eyes. You can be vulnerable, you know. Ill always be here for you to rely on.

Unable to contain herself, Ye Lengan burst into laughter. Why so serious all of a sudden? Youre overthinking it. Despite everything Ive been through, Im genuinely grateful to fate. Ive always considered myself fortunate. After all, its rare to have the chance to restart ones life like I did! And its these experiences that have shaped who I am now!

Without her experiences in the cultivation world in her second life, she couldnt have lived as freely as she did now, even with a rebirth.

So, regardless of the experiences, she saw them all as gifts from fate.
