Upon entering the main hall, Lian Mengzhu was met with an atmosphere of profound silence. Observing the smiling yet aloof Ye Leng’an and the visibly perplexed Ye Hongxuan occupying the main seat, she found herself at a loss, unable to comprehend the situation unfolding before her.

Initially, upon hearing of Ye Leng’an’s visit, Lian Mengzhu had felt a surge of excitement. Like Ye Hongxuan, she had entertained the hope that Ye Leng’an’s willingness to visit might signify a desire to return to the Ye family

However, the scene that greeted her upon arrival was far from what she had anticipated.

“What’s the matter?” Lian Mengzhu cautiously asked, “What’s happening here?”

“Nothing.” Ye Hongxuan forced a smile. “We’re simply discussing some matters.”

Lian Mengzhu found this explanation entirely incredulous. Yet, before she could voice her doubts, Ye Leng’an interjected.

“Master Ye, you still haven’t answered my question!” Unfazed by Lian Mengzhu’s presence, she persisted with her inquiry. “Is it true that Ye Wanwan and I are twins?”

With those words, Lian Mengzhu immediately grasped the underlying tension in the hall. Feeling a tinge of embarrassment, she began to explain, “Leng’an, this matter was decided by your grandfather. It was meant to protect both of you. We…”

“Are you protecting me or Ye Wanwan? Be clear about your intentions,” Ye Leng’an interrupted, her tone disdainful. “No need for lofty explanations. We all know where your loyalties lie.

Lian Mengzhu was left speechless.

Observing Ye Leng’an’s demeanor, Ye Hongxuan couldn’t help but furrow his brow. Sighing softly, he spoke, “Leng’an, you are indeed our biological daughter, and we do wish for your return. However, we also raised Wanwan, so I hope you can understand our perspective. Moreover, this was your grandfather’s decision, and we cannot oppose it.”

Acknowledging this, Ye Leng’an nodded. “It seems I’ve approached the wrong person. I should be speaking to Ye Yikun, not you.”

Her initial intention had indeed been to contact Ye Yikun, not Ye Hongxuan. However, she feared she might not be able to meet him directly.

“What nonsense!” Ye Hongxuan’s expression darkened as he chastised Ye Leng’an in a low voice. “That’s your grandfather. Who gave you permission to address him so informally?”

“Permission or not, I’ve already addressed him,” Ye Leng’an retorted casually. “So, I should be able to see Old Master Ye now, right?”

“Leng’an,” Lian Mengzhu interjected, sensing Ye Leng’an’s determination. “Your grandfather has made his decision. There’s no need for further discussion. He’s our elder, and as such, we must respect him.”

“He may be your elder, but not mine.” Ye Leng’an remained unmoved. “Please refrain from interfering with my decisions. Since you can’t make the call, I’ll find someone who can.”

Observing Ye Leng’an’s resolve, both Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu felt a growing sense of unease. Initially, they had hoped Ye Leng’an’s visit signaled a positive turn of events. However, it was becoming apparent that matters were far more complicated. Rather than a return, it seemed Ye Leng’an had come to seek retribution.

“Not planning to let me see Old Master Ye, are you?” Ye Leng’an nodded, then continued, “Very well, I won’t waste any more time. However, let me remind you that I came here today as Huangfu Ruiling’s fiancée. Is this the Ye family’s idea of hospitality?”

Since Ye Hongxuan was dragging his feet, Ye Leng’an didn’t mind exerting Huangfu Ruiling’s authority.

At the mention of Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Hongxuan’s expression darkened. “Are you threatening me, Leng’an? Don’t forget, you’re my daughter.”

“Oh!” Ye Leng’an nodded before pressing on, “So, when can I see Old Master Ye? If he’s my grandfather, as you claim, it shouldn’t be difficult for me to meet him!”

Whether due to Huangfu Ruiling’s influence or Ye Leng’an’s persistence, Ye Hongxuan couldn’t refuse her request.

Reluctantly, Ye Hongxuan sent someone to seek guidance from Ye Yikun.

Observing this, Lian Mengzhu couldn’t help but feel anxious.

In the Ye family, Ye Yikun held absolute authority. Today, it was clear Ye Leng’an had come to confront him. The outcome of their meeting was foreseeable.

If Ye Leng’an managed to provoke Ye Yikun, her return to the Ye family might prove less than auspicious. Especially given Ye Yikun’s already unfavorable impression of her.

Despite the trio’s shared bloodline, the atmosphere in the main hall remained tense and subdued. Despite being family, they were little more than strangers. Their interactions had been limited, and their time together scarce.

Soon, the servant returned with Ye Yikun’s response. “Miss Ye, Old Master requests your presence.”

Ye Leng’an wasn’t surprised by the summons. From the moment she decided to return, she anticipated Ye Yikun’s reception.

With that, Ye Leng’an rose and followed the servant out.

“Leng’an, you…” Lian Mengzhu hesitated briefly before urging, “Show some respect to your grandfather. He’s your elder, after all.”

She couldn’t shake her apprehension about Ye Leng’an facing her father alone. In this family, her father’s authority was unquestionable. Leng’an’s temperament was sure to irk him.

Ye Leng’an’s stride remained unbroken, leaving her intentions unclear.

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu exchanged uneasy glances but dared not follow.

Meanwhile, Ye Wanwan, having learned of Ye Leng’an’s arrival at the Ye residence, couldn’t help but feel a surge of anxiety. Though no one had informed her, such news couldn’t remain concealed for long.

As she heard of Ye Leng’an’s presence and her parents’ departure, a sense of foreboding gripped her. She feared Ye Leng’an’s return might be permanent.
