Upon receiving Ye Yikun’s denial, Ye Leng’an remained unruffled. Instead, she continued to smile and said, “As for clarifying the situation, that’s entirely up to the Ye family’s discretion. After all, I can’t compel the Ye family to do anything. However…”

At this juncture, Ye Leng’an’s smile widened. “Similarly, the Ye family can’t dictate my actions either. If by chance I happen to divulge something Old Master Ye prefers kept hidden, then please don’t hold it against me.”

Ye Leng’an’s words instantly put Ye Yikun on guard. He scrutinized Ye Leng’an, “What do you mean by that?”

“Old Master Ye, since you’re reluctant to publicly clarify my lack of association with the Ye family, then I’ll simply disclose the truth.” Ye Leng’an shrugged, smiling. “Including the circumstances of how Ye Wanwan and I were swapped and the identity of Ye Wanwan’s biological mother. I believe such news would certainly stir up quite a commotion, don’t you agree?”

“You…” A glint of menace flickered in Ye Yikun’s eyes. “Even if you go public, do you think anyone will believe you?”

It had to be admitted that Ye Leng’an had hit a sensitive spot. The fabrication of such a story was precisely to prevent the exposure of Ye Wanwan’s true identity.

“Whether others believe it or not is inconsequential.” Ye Leng’an shook her head. “As long as the Murong family, especially Master Murong, believes it, wouldn’t that suffice? The incidents from the past were riddled with loopholes. It’s only because no one doubted them for so many years that they remained concealed until now. With the Murong family’s influence, uncovering the truth shouldn’t pose much difficulty!”

“You…” Ye Yikun seethed with rage, his gaze towards Ye Leng’an brimming with animosity, and even a hint of murderous intent. “What do you stand to gain from all this? Don’t tell me you’ve decided to forsake your biological parents for the rest of your life. By taking things to such extremes, are you truly intent on severing ties with the Ye family forever?”

“I presume you’re well aware of my intentions.” Ye Leng’an arched an eyebrow. “If I truly intended to reunite with my parents, do you think I would have come here today to request clarification from the Ye family?”

Unfazed by Ye Yikun’s hostility, Ye Leng’an believed herself superior. Moreover, as the fiancée of Huangfu Ruiling, Ye Yikun dared not offend the Huangfu family.

“You truly are ruthless and unfeeling!” Ye Yikun, infuriated, chuckled bitterly. “From this perspective, your absence from the Ye family might indeed be a boon for us!”

He found himself unable to decipher Ye Leng’an’s mindset. Logically speaking, someone like Ye Leng’an, with her background, should yearn for the love of her biological parents. Yet, in reality, Ye Leng’an was indifferent to her biological parents.

Back then, the sole reason for exposing the truth was to exact revenge on Ye Wanwan.

“It’s good that Old Master Ye sees it this way!”

Ye Leng’an remained indifferent to Ye Yikun’s accusations of her cold-heartedness. “Moreover, perhaps you could liken us to be of the same ilk! Blood ties don’t hold much significance to you, do they? You even prefer the fake granddaughter, Ye Wanwan, over me, your true granddaughter, solely because Ye Wanwan can bring greater benefits to the Ye family. Hence, we’re all equals in this regard. Let’s not mock each other.”

This statement seemed to lay bare all of Ye Yikun’s innermost thoughts, exposing them to the sunlight.

Ye Yikun took a deep breath, endeavoring to quell the rage in his chest. When he looked at Ye Leng’an, it wasn’t as though he was regarding his blood-related granddaughter but more akin to viewing an adversary. “Very well, Ye Leng’an. I hope you won’t regret your decision today.”

“Everyone must be accountable for their choices, correct?” Ye Leng’an blinked, smiling. “Since it’s my decision, I shall never harbor regrets.”

“Very well.” Ye Yikun sneered. “Then I shall see how an orphan like you fares in the Huangfu family. How long can you bask in Huangfu Ruiling’s so-called affection?”

“No need for you to concern yourself with my affairs.” Ye Leng’an smiled faintly. “Old Master Ye, you should focus on matters concerning the Ye family! However, since Old Master Ye has spoken thus, I shall interpret it as an agreement to my demands today.”

She wasn’t taken aback by Ye Yikun’s decision.

Though she was involved in the Huangfu family’s marriage, it wasn’t something within Ye Yikun’s control. Thus, even if she could benefit the Ye family, it would be limited.

However, Ye Wanwan was different. Raised in the Ye family since childhood, she still depended on the Ye family. Therefore, marrying Murong Xingrui would undoubtedly bring more advantages to the Ye family.

Most importantly, Ye Wanwan was more compliant than her.

Ye Yikun fixed his gaze on Ye Leng’an. After a prolonged silence, he spoke, “I’ll clarify matters as soon as possible.”

“Since Old Master Ye has agreed, I’ll await the clarification.” Ye Leng’an smiled. “Furthermore, I hope I won’t encounter such rumors in the future. Otherwise, I might have to visit your home to seek clarification, wasting everyone’s time. That wouldn’t be ideal, as everyone’s time is precious.”

Suppressing the anger within him, Ye Yikun gritted his teeth. “I’ll clarify everything. Whether in the past, present, or future, you have no ties to the Ye family. Is that clear?”

“Of course.” In stark contrast to Ye Yikun, the smile on Ye Leng’an’s face was much warmer and sincere. “Rest assured, Old Master Ye. I can also promise you that, regardless of future events, I won’t implicate the Ye family, nor will I have any dealings with you.”

With that said, Ye Leng’an rose to her feet. “Now that we’ve reached an understanding, I won’t take up any more of Old Master Ye’s time. Also, I hope Old Master Ye will clarify this matter promptly. Otherwise, if too much time elapses, misunderstandings may arise, and I may inadvertently disclose sensitive information. That wouldn’t be desirable.”

Ye Yikun knew it was a veiled threat, but he had no choice but to accept it. “You’ll receive the Ye family’s clarification soon.”
