“She stole Xiyuan’s necklace and refused to admit it.” Qian Gumeng immediately replied, “Now she even wants to leave just like that.”
She did not know who this man who suddenly showed up was. Although this man had such an imposing manner that she could hardly breathe, she didn’t know where she got the confidence from and directly spoke at the thought of Ye Leng’an.
“Mr. Huangfu, right?” Ye Xiyuan also came forward and said, “Gumeng might not talk nicely to you, but she doesn’t have any ill intentions. Moreover, Ye Leng’an is the prime suspect now. We’re doing this only to prove her innocence.”
The system had no way of finding the information of this man, but she had eyes and could tell that this man was not simple. Even so, she would not let Ye Leng’an go so easily today. Also, Nangong Xuyao was here. She didn’t believe that she couldn’t do anything to Ye Leng’an.
“Xiyuan, be careful what you say.” Ye Li looked in Huangfu Ruiling’s direction and immediately stopped Ye Xiyuan. “This is a misunderstanding. I think my daughter accidentally lost her necklace. No one stole it.”
He never dreamed that Ye Leng’an knew such a person. This man was the young master of the Huangfu family, and he was in actual power. He had heard rumors about the young master of the Huangfu family. Although he was in a wheelchair, he was ruthless and decisive. Back then, he had used tough and iron-blooded methods to concentrate power.
The hearsay about such a person alone was enough to make people tremble in fear. Ye LI never thought that he could see the real person in his lifetime. However, today’s meeting was not friendly.
If he had known that Ye Leng’an would have such good fortune, he would never have let her leave. Or perhaps, even if Ye Leng’an left, he would still care about her. He would definitely not make their relationship as tense as it was now.
“Dad!” Ye Xiyuan looked at Ye Li in disbelief.
“Xiyuan, enough.” Ye Li tipped Ye Xiyuan a wink. “What happened today was a misunderstanding, wasn’t it? I think you must have been too busy just now, so you took off the necklace and forgot where it was, right?”
Ye Xiyuan looked at Ye Li in disbelief. At the same time, she was secretly shocked. Because judging from her father’s current behavior, it could be seen that this man who suddenly appeared in a wheelchair was definitely not a
simple person. He was definitely someone they could not afford to offend. Or perhaps, even Nangong Xuyao might not be as good as that man. Otherwise, his father wouldn’t have suddenly changed his attitude.
However, if she were to let it go now, she would be very unwilling. Moreover, if she lowered her head today, wouldn’t she be inferior to Ye Leng’an forever?
“Xiyuan, say something!” Ye Li couldn’t help but urge her when he saw that Ye Xiyuan fell silent.
Usually, he thought that his daughter was very smart. Why was she suddenly so dull now? He had already hinted to this extent, so why couldn’t she understand it?! The young master of the Huangfu family was obviously trying to back Ye Leng’an up. If they continued to struggle with this, there would be no results. Furthermore, he would probably offend Young Master Huangfu in the end.
“Do you have the final say in everything?” Ye Leng’an suddenly said, “You said I stole it, and you tried to search my bag forcibly. But now, you changed your mind and wanted her to say she forgot where her necklace was. Why is everything up to you guys!”
Ye Xiyuan drew a long face when hearing Ye Leng’an’s remark.
“Miss Ye, be easy on people.” Nangong Xuyao took a step forward and stood in front of Ye Xiyuan with a darkened face. “You know very well who we’re doing this for. Since you got a bargain, there is no need to boast about it here.”
He was indeed afraid of Huangfu Ruiling, but not Ye Leng’an. He would show respect for Huangfu Ruiling, but not Ye Leng’an.
“In that case, Young Master Nangong must also want to find out the truth!” Ye Leng’an nodded in agreement. “Things have already come to such a pass. We can’t leave it unsettled! You said that I got a bargain. That is on the basis of the premise that I really stole the necklace..”
