Chapter 30
Fifty Million
“Leng’an, we’re really sad that you considered us as that kind of people.” Lin Wanqin gave Ye Leng’an a soft look. “After all, we’ve raised you for so many years. It’s something that can’t be easily measured. You might think that we’re doing this for Xiyuan, well, we don’t deny it. But this is also for you. You may now feel awkward meeting Xiyuan after the swapping thing is out, but at the same time, you’re in the same school. What will others say about you? Won’t it be better for you to leave here and go to a place where no one knows you to start over again? Besides, we found another good school for you. We’ve already talked to the people of No. 5 High School. They’re willing to accept you.”
No. 5 High School was considered a pretty good school in the capital, and its enrollment rate was above average. The students studying there all aimed to get into universities, so the campus life there was quite simple.
“There’s no need to do so.” Ye Leng’an rejected her immediately. “If you feel awkward, you can help Ye Xiyuan to transfer to another school.”
Both Ye Li and Lin Wanqin pulled long faces at Ye Leng’an’s attitude. They didn’t expect that Ye Leng’an would remain unmoved even after they tried to reason with her and analyzed the pros and cons.
“Principal Zheng, please help me handle her dropout procedures!” Ye Li looked directly at Zheng Anyang. “I’ve raised her for so many years. I can make such a small decision.”
If a carrot didn’t work then try a stick.
He did so for Ye Xiyuan in the beginning, but now he felt that his authority was challenged. In the past, Ye Leng’an didn’t dare to defy him when she was still his daughter. Now she left them and had the audacity to challenge him. He couldn’t accept this.
Instead of speaking, Ye Leng’an looked at Zheng Anyang in silence. She wanted to see how the principal would handle this matter. If the principal really stood on Ye Li’s side and asked her to drop out, then there was no need for her to stay.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Ye.” Zheng Anyang adjusted his glasses and said, “I’m afraid that you really can’t make a decision for Ye Leng’an regarding this matter. You’re not her guardian now, so you can’t make the dropout decision for her.”
When Ye Li heard this, his face instantly darkened. “Principal Zheng, are you sure you want to do this? When Ye Leng’an first entered this school, we donated three million.”
“So, Mr. Ye, are you planning to ask our school to return that amount to you?” Zheng Anyang said directly when being threatened, “If that’s the case, then I’ll call the finance department to transfer the money now.”
To be honest, Zheng Anyang really didn’t care about three million at all. Sheng’an High School was not an ordinary school. Most of the people who could study here were either rich or noble. Even if there were really gifted students, they were in a tiny minority. So the donation from those parents started from at least a million, and quite a few of them even donated tens of millions.
Therefore, Ye Li’s threat was nothing to him.
“Principal Zheng, you…” Ye Li didn’t expect Zheng Anyang to reject him so straightforwardly. He could even feel the indifference in Zheng Anyang’s tone.
“Uncle Ye, don’t worry. I’ll transfer all the money I’ve spent living in the Ye family over the years to you.” Ye Leng’an looked at Ye Li and Lin Wanqin without too much emotion in her eyes. “Thank you for taking care of me all these years. The promise I made to you before still holds.”
Lin Wanqin’s eyes widened as if she couldn’t believe her ears. She looked very hurt by Ye Leng’an’s words. “Leng’an, are you trying to disown us?”
Even though she was resentful of Ye Leng’an, she still felt connected to Ye Leng’an after all these years. She didn’t expect that Ye Leng’an would actually say such words today as if she wanted to sever all ties with them.
For a brief moment, she felt as if she had lost her daughter. However, when she thought of Ye Xiyuan, she thought Ye Leng’an had gone too far this time.
“Good, very good.” Ye Li was so angry that he laughed. “Ye Leng’an, that is so you! As you said, you’ve spent a lot of money over the years, but since we used to be father and daughter, you can just repay me 50 million. Can you afford that amount?”
All these years, although Ye Leng’an had been living the life of a rich young lady, the majority of her spending went to designer clothes, bags, and jewelry. She did not take these things with her when she left the Ye family.
Apart from these things, she could never spend as much as 50 million.
Ye Li was intentionally making things difficult for her. He absolutely didn’t believe that Ye Leng’an would be able to fork out 50 million. Even if Ye Leng’an were still in their family, she wouldn’t have 50 million. She might not even have 50 thousand, let alone 50 million.
“All right.” Ye Leng’an didn’t say too much. She took out her phone and operated it. Later, she said, “Mr. Ye, you can check if you have received 50 million in your account.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Li’s phone buzzed with an alert. He took out his phone, and his pupils dilated immediately after taking a look. He raised his head and looked at Ye Leng’an in shock.
