Originally, she wouldn’t discuss such matters in front of outsiders. However, for some unknown reason, Ye An’an always gave her a strangely familiar feeling, leading her to inadvertently share these thoughts.
“l see!” Ye Lengan nodded. “She’s surprisingly magnanimous! To have lost her own child and yet treat another’s child so kindly.”
The hidden meaning in her words prompted Ye Hongxuan to once again involuntarily focus his gaze on Ye Lengan.
Since Huangfu Ling had suddenly invited them for lunch today, he was already filled with doubts. He couldn’t bring himself to believe that Huangfu Ruilings invitation was merely about sharing a meal. Yet, he couldn’t decipher the other party’s true intentions.
Starting from the very beginning, every word from Ye An’an seemed like casual chatter. However, with a bit of reflection, one could discern an underlying depth in each sentence. He couldn’t grasp the other’s intentions, but he sensed that those words were deliberately spoken for them to hear.
Furthermore, he was particularly intrigued by the surge of blood he felt the day Huangfu Ling greeted them on the square for no apparent reason.
To this day, he hadn’t unraveled the mystery. While he had considered directly questioning Huangfu Ling, he had a gut feeling that he wouldn’t receive a straightforward answer. Thus, he refrained from acting recklessly.
He glanced at Huangfu Ling, then at Ye Lengan, a pensive look flashing in his eyes.
Meanwhile, Lian Mengzhu remained oblivious to any peculiarities, continuing her amiable conversation with Ye Aryan. “Yes! Zixin and I share a close relationship. I’m considerably older than Zixin, so I practically watched her grow up. Our sisterly bond is exceptionally strong, which is why she regards Wanwan as her own daughter.”
On the other side, the intermittent conversation between Ye Lengan and Lian Mengzhu maintained a pleasant atmosphere.
However, when Ye Wanwan, who was supposed to be resting, saw Lian Zixin entering, her expression lacked joy, replaced by a hint of impatience. “Why are you coming at this hour?”
“Wanwan, are you okay?” In stark contrast to Ye Wanwan’s coldness, Lian Zixin displayed genuine concern. Seating herself beside the bed, she reached out, attempting to pat Ye Wanwan!s head. “l heard you were injured, so I came specifically to check on you. How are you feeling now? Better?”
Ye Wanwan swiftly brushed away Lian Zixin’s hand, voicing her displeasure.
“Don’t touch me. Speak if you must, but don’t casually touch me.”
In the past, she might have tolerated her aunt’s actions for the sake of her mother. However, since learning the truth, every encounter with Lian Zixin fueled an uncontrollable sense of disgust. Moreover, she resented Lian Zixin even more. Since Lian Zixin had already been replaced, then never tell her the truth!
Now, aware of the truth, every day felt like walking on thin ice. If she were ignorant, she could enjoy life happily, taking everything for granted. Instead, she constantly worried about an imminent revelation, potentially losing everything.
Ye Wanwan’s blatant disdain saddened Lian Zixin, but she promptly composed herself and continued, “Wanwan, I’m just worried about you.”
“l don’t need your concern.” Ye Wanwan looked at Lian Zixin and stated, “My parents’ concern is enough for me. Remember, you’re just my aunt. Please maintain your position.”
“l understand.” Lian Zixin’s tone carried a trace of bitterness. “Wanwan, I never had any ulterior motives. I simply heard you were injured and came out of concern.’
“Now that you’ve seen, I’m fine, so you can leave.”
“Wanwan.” Lian Zixin sounded somewhat anxious. “Your injuries are serious. Just give up the competition this afternoon!”
She feared that with Ye Wanwan going on stage in this condition, victory was impossible. Moreover, the opponent wouldn’t show mercy just because she was injured. It was likely that Ye Wanwan would suffer even more severe injuries.
In that case, it was better to withdraw from the start. Wanwan had already suffered multiple Injuries, ana everyone could see lt. NO one would criticize her for giving up.
“Impossible.” Ye Wanwan spoke decisively. “It wasn’t easy for me to reach this point. I won’t give up easily. Besides, my affairs have nothing to do with you, and I don’t need you meddling in my decisions.”
“I’m not trying to meddle in your affairs.” Lian Zixin’s tone was urgent. “I’m just worried about your health. Nothing is more important than your health!”
Ye Wanwan turned her head, coldly gazing at Lian Zixin before stating, “Once I make a decision, I won’t change it. Moreover, it’s not your place to dictate what I do. Don’t forget your identity. You’re just my aunt. Do you have the authority to do this?”
A few simple words drained the color from Lian Zixin’s face. Her lips trembled slightly, and for a moment, she found herself speechless..
