“Leng’an, can’t you be a bit nicer to us?”

Watching Ye Leng’an’s indifferent demeanor, Ye Hongxuan’s tone carried a hint of resentment. “Indeed, it was our mistake that led you to suffer all these years. But, in truth, your mother and I were also victims. The real culprit is Lian Zixin.”

“I know!” Ye Leng’an nodded. “So Lian Zixin has already been punished.”

Lian Mengzhu’s eyes flashed with understanding. “You did what happened to Zixin?”

She had heard about Lian Zixin’s incident before. The Yan family had even sought their help multiple times, but she had never shown herself.

The love she once felt for Lian Zixin had turned into deep hatred. If not for Lian Zixin, she wouldn’t have been separated from her daughter for over a decade, let alone become estranged from her. It was already a mercy that she didn’t retaliate against her, let alone help her.

However, hearing that it was Ye Leng’an who had done it made her feel a bit uneasy. Using a poison like Drunken Beauty, which was so sinister, was not something an ordinary person would do unless they harbored deep enmity.

“Yes, it was me.” Ye Leng’an blinked, her expression unchanged. “But I didn’t prepare the poison. It was prepared by Lian Zixin herself. I just used it on her.”

Seeing Ye Leng’an casually admitting to it, Lian Mengzhu felt conflicted. On one hand, she understood why Ye Leng’an would take such action. On the other hand, she couldn’t help but think the poison was too harsh. Ye Leng’an was just a young girl, yet she resorted to such cruelty, which wasn’t good.

“Leng’an, even though Zixin was at fault, we have already punished her,” Ye Hongxuan said, realizing Ye Leng’an was the one behind it. “You don’t need to take matters into your own hands. Why tarnish yourself?”

“Heh, if your idea of punishment is simply withdrawing support from the Yan and Lian families, then it’s quite severe.” Ye Leng’an’s tone was mocking. “Besides, I am also a victim in this. I want justice for myself, and no one can deny me that, including you.”

Though she didn’t say the last part aloud, her expression made it clear.

Faced with Ye Leng’an’s detachment and resistance, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu exchanged helpless glances.

They didn’t know how to communicate with this daughter they’d barely known.

“Could you just get to the point of your visit?” Ye Leng’an looked at them and said, “You didn’t come all the way from the Hidden World just to bond with me, did you?”

“Leng’an, why speak like that?” Ye Hongxuan frowned reproachfully. “Regardless of anything, we’re still your parents. Is this how you treat your parents?”

“Yes, it is.” Ye Leng’an appeared indifferent. “Not only my parents, but even my elders receive the same treatment. If you don’t like it, then don’t come near me. Do you think just because we’re related by blood, you can boss me around? If so, don’t blame me for being rude.”

“We’re your parents. What else do you want from us?” Ye Hongxuan struggled to contain his anger. “We want to make amends, but why are you always so hostile?”

Ye Leng’an’s face bore a sarcastic smile. “Make amends? Then how do you intend to make it up to me? Is it by previously refusing to acknowledge my identity, or by continuing to raise Ye Wanwan in the Ye family, presenting her as the young lady of the Ye family to the outside world? Is this your idea of making amends for me?”

She was fed up with these self-righteous individuals. Sometimes, she couldn’t fathom their thoughts. On one hand, they claimed to want to compensate their biological daughter, but on the other, they couldn’t let go of their adopted daughter. Did they really think she and Ye Wanwan could peacefully coexist?

One was a victim, the other was the beneficiary and the perpetrator’s biological daughter. Though she and Ye Wanwan weren’t enemies, they could never be close.

“We never refused to acknowledge your identity,” Lian Mengzhu hastily interjected. “Back then, it was because of your grandfather’s orders. As juniors, we couldn’t defy them. Besides, Wanwan is a good girl. You two will definitely get along.”

Facing Lian Mengzhu’s hopeful gaze, Ye Leng’an’s lips curved into a malicious smile. “Let me make it clear now: Ye Wanwan and I will never get along. What will you do then?”

Ye Leng’an’s words caught Lian Mengzhu off guard.

“Leng’an, why can’t you tolerate Wanwan?” Ye Hongxuan frowned, his gaze filled with displeasure. “If you don’t want to see her, when you return to the Ye family, I’ll ensure Wanwan avoids you. If you’re unwilling, she won’t appear before you.”

Though it would be unfair to Wanwan, she was a sensible child who would understand.

“Let me return and live under the same roof as Ye Wanwan.” Ye Leng’an’s malicious smile grew wider. “Aren’t you afraid I’ll ruin her dantian again? She may have been able to repair it this time, but can you guarantee she’ll be so lucky next time?”

These words made Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s expressions turn sour. They hadn’t expected Ye Leng’an to remain so aggressive even after their concessions.

Indeed, those who grew up outside still needed proper discipline.

Seeing Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s silence, Ye Leng’an took a sip of coffee before speaking again. “Alright, can you tell me your purpose now? Otherwise, I’ll have to leave!”
