Chapter 707: Young Lady of the Ye Family

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Ye Hongxuan, you need to recognize your identity.” Ye Yikun’s expression became more serious. “Don’t forget, you are the head of the Ye family. Every decision you make must be in the best interest of the Ye family.”

“Father, Leng’an is my biological daughter,” Ye Hongxuan couldn’t help but speak up, “Are you suggesting I disown my own daughter? Besides, she has been wandering for so many years, and I owe her. If I abandon her now for Wanwan, am I even human?”

“I haven’t asked you to abandon Ye Leng’an.” Ye Yikun’s voice turned cold. “You can acknowledge this daughter, but compared to Ye Leng’an, a child raised in the mortal world, Wanwan is clearly more suited to be the Ye family’s young lady. As for Ye Leng’an, I won’t object to how you choose to care for her.”

Hearing these cold words, Ye Hongxuan felt a bit agitated. “Father, Ye Leng’an…”

Before he could finish, Ye Yikun interrupted, “You don’t need to persuade me here. I’m clear about my stance. You may think I’m cold-blooded, but everything I do is for the family. Hongxuan, remember, you are the head of the Ye family, and you must make concessions for the family’s benefit. If Ye Leng’an can prove she’s more suitable to be the Ye family’s young lady than Wanwan, then I can acknowledge her identity.”

Ultimately, as long as Ye Leng’an could bring sufficient benefits to the Ye family, he could replace Ye Wanwan at any time.

Finding it hard to accept his father’s attitude, Ye Hongxuan nodded reluctantly. “Father, let me think about it.”

Though he understood his father’s actions were for the family, acceptance was challenging.

An old fox, Ye Yikun saw through Ye Hongxuan’s thoughts. He continued, “Hongxuan, you’re my chosen successor. However, if you feel unfit as the family head, feel free to bring it up. Once you’re no longer the head, I won’t interfere with your decisions.”

As long as Ye Hongxuan was the head of the Ye family, he had to consider the family.

Knowing his father intended to strip him of the family head position, Ye Hongxuan, who had been arguing, gave up.

Being a man, he valued power, especially realizing losing the family head position would make his life in the Ye family difficult. He might not even be able to protect himself, let alone his family.

Seeing Ye Hongxuan’s realization, Ye Yikun didn’t press further. “Have you told Wanwan?”

“Not yet.” Ye Hongxuan shook his head. “Ye Leng’an is coming tomorrow, and I plan to tell them together.”

“Wanwan will stay.” Ye Yikun’s eyes flashed coldly. “But we can’t let Lian Zixin off. Notify them, stop all help to the Lian family from today, and fully suppress the Yan family.”

“What?” Ye Hongxuan was shocked. “Father, Lian Zixin did something like that, and the Lian family is unaware. Moreover, they are Mengzhu’s family, and we…”

“It’s precisely because they are Lian Mengzhu’s maiden family that I’m lenient,” Ye Yikun said coldly. “I only stopped helping them; I didn’t suppress them.”

Ye Hongxuan had wanted to plead for the Lian family, but seeing Ye Yikun’s cold expression, he dared not say more.

He wondered how he would tell his wife.

“Let me know when Ye Leng’an comes tomorrow. I’ll also go and see.” Ye Yikun wanted to see what kind of person his granddaughter was. He admired her courage.

However, this was the Hidden World, where courage alone was useless. One had to rely on strength to succeed. A child raised in the mortal world could not compare to Ye Wanwan.

Leaving Ye Yikun’s courtyard with worry, Ye Hongxuan prepared for the next day.

Early the next morning, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu were in the main hall. They didn’t know when Ye Leng’an would arrive, but they were eager to meet her.

In the main hall, along with Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu, was Ye Wanwan.

Before breakfast, her parents had informed her to come to the main hall. Not knowing what was happening, seeing her parents’ serious expressions, she felt an ominous feeling, as if something was beyond her control.

The atmosphere in the main hall was heavy. Ye Wanwan didn’t dare to be playful. However, she couldn’t help but ask, “Father, Mother, who are we waiting for?”

Ye Hongxuan glanced at Ye Wanwan with a complicated expression. “You’ll know when they arrive.”

Ye Wanwan obviously didn’t want such an answer. She pretended to smile innocently. “Father, Mother, who is it? So mysterious and grand, requiring all of us to wait here.”

“Wanwan…” Lian Mengzhu turned to Ye Wanwan, wanting to say something, hesitated, and finally spoke, “In any case, it’s an important person. When the time comes, you have to get along well!”

After all, she raised the child. Even though she knew Wanwan wasn’t her biological child, she couldn’t abandon her. Moreover, Ye Yikun showed no intention of letting Wanwan leave.

However, when she saw Wanwan, she couldn’t help but think of Lian Zixin. She never expected that her sister, whom she loved dearly, would swap her own child and let her daughter grow up in such an environment.

If Ye Leng’an could grow up in the Ye family like Wanwan, receiving their full nurturing, could she be as outstanding as Wanwan, or even more so?

Thinking of this, she shook her head as if to dispel those thoughts. Everything was set in stone. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t change anything.
