Chapter 702: Her Indifference

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Ye Hongxuan seemed to recall a similar matter, his expression filled with uncertainty.

However, at this moment, he would never reveal it. “Huangfu Ruiling, I don’t know why you’re spouting nonsense at my Ye family, but empty words without any evidence. If anyone can just come and claim to be part of the Ye family, and everyone accepts them as such, wouldn’t chaos ensue in our family? What is your true purpose? And why should we believe your words?”

Lian Mengzhu, standing on the side, wore a troubled expression. However, she continued to persuade herself that Zixin wouldn’t do such a thing. Wanwan was undoubtedly their daughter, the product of their love.

“In fact, you’ve probably found it strange in your daily life, but just haven’t considered it in this way,” spoke Ye Lengan. “Now, think about how Lian Zixin treated Ye Wanwan. Was it the attitude of a normal aunt toward her niece?”

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu exchanged glances, sensing emotional turmoil in each other’s eyes. However, their thoughts were genuinely chaotic for a moment.

Throughout, in their hearts, Ye Wanwan was their daughter, nurtured and cherished. They had never considered the possibility that Wanwan might not be their daughter. Uncertain about the other’s motives, their resolve wavered, especially considering Lian Zixin’s consistent attitude towards Wanwan. They didn’t want to believe it, but if Wanwan wasn’t their daughter, then who was their biological daughter? Where was she?

“Do you know something?” As the head of the family, Ye Hongxuan quickly regained his composure. His sharp gaze focused on Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan. “What is your purpose in coming here today?”

Lian Mengzhu was most eager to know if the other party’s revelation indicated knowledge of the whereabouts of their biological daughter.

She wanted to ask but was silenced by her husband’s gaze. She had to restrain the impulse and watch as her husband engaged with the others

“Our purpose here is straightforward.” Ye Lengan looked at Ye Hongxuan and his wife with a calm expression, but the words were unsettling. “We came today to seek revenge on Ye Wanwan. I’ll handle her the way she wants to handle me – I’m fair that way.”

“Is there any grudge between you and Wanwan?” Ye Hongxuan quickly discerned the hidden meaning. His expression grew more serious, and his gaze towards Ye Lengan turned more vigilant. “So, everything you said earlier was to retaliate against Wanwan, is that right?”

If that were the case, the words of the other party would need careful investigation before they could determine their veracity. He couldn’t simply doubt his daughter, whom he had cherished for many years, based solely on the words of the person before him.

“You could say that.” Ye Lengan pursed her lips and nodded. “However, what I said is true. The tangled fate between me and Ye Wanwan is indeed quite deep! Because I am the unfortunate one swapped with her at birth.”

Despite the casual tone, it seemed like a complete denial of any family connection. Yet, the spoken words were profoundly shocking.

The calm demeanor that Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu had worked hard to maintain shattered instantly. They stared at Ye Lengan as if trying to read something from her expression.

“Are you saying…” Lian Mengzhu’s voice trembled. “You are our daughter?”

Although phrased as a question, her tone carried an involuntary certainty. She didn’t know if Ye Leng’an’s words were true, given her indifferent tone.

However, upon seeing Ye Lengan and the unexplained sense of familiarity, along with the overwhelming sadness after hearing her words, everything seemed to confirm the truth.

Ye Hongxuan’s gaze also focused on Ye Lengan. There was scrutiny, suspicion, and a peculiar, incomprehensible emotion.

The couple waited for Ye Leng’an’s response.

Under their scrutinizing eyes, Ye Lengan nodded calmly. “In terms of blood ties, it’s true. I am your daughter.”

However, emotionally, she couldn’t acknowledge them as her parents. If it were her first life, she might have been excited and eager to acknowledge her family upon learning the truth.

Yet, the world had changed, and the passage of time had eroded her yearning for family. Now, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were merely two people she was connected with by blood.

Observing Ye Leng’an’s composed demeanor, the initially agitated Ye Hongxuan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. He couldn’t help but speak, “How can you say these things so calmly? If everything you said is true, and you’re our daughter, why are you so composed?”

“What should I do then?” Ye Leng’an frowned after pondering for a moment. “Do you expect me to shed tears and stage a family recognition drama with you here? Besides, shouldn’t you investigate whether what I said is true? No matter how much I say, you will still doubt, right?”

If she were in their shoes, she would do the same. If someone claimed at her doorstep that her parents were fake, she wouldn’t immediately believe it!

So, even though she came to tell the truth today, she didn’t expect Ye Hongxuan and his wife to believe her immediately.

If they did believe everything she said and recognized her as their daughter on the spot, she would question their intelligence.

Ye Hongxuan turned to Ye Lengan and continued, “So, you must have come prepared today. What evidence do you have to prove that what you said is true?”

Ye Lengan didn’t beat around the bush. She retrieved a USB flash drive and a stack of documents from her bag. “Here’s a recording of Lian Zixin’s journey to the mortal world and my detailed information. Take a look. Of course, you can send someone to investigate to verify my claims..”
