Ye Wanwan resisted the idea in her heart at night. “Mother, let’s forget it! We had a rather unpleasant altercation before, and I don’t want any involvement with her.’
“Wanwan.” Upon hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, Lian Mengzhu furrowed her brows, shook her head, and spoke, “You’re not a child anymore. How can you act based solely on your own thoughts? You are the young lady of the Ye family and our only daughter; you represent the Ye family. Since Huangfu Ling ascended to power, the Huangfu family has grown even stronger, with a tendency to surpass other families. At this point, what we need to do is foster good relations, not for personal gain but for the family.”
Lian Mengzhu’s advice left Ye Wanwan with no room for rebuttal; she could only nod silently.
Even though she wished to avoid any connection with Ye An’an and did not want her mother to have any dealings with Ye Aryan, she had to admit she lacked the authority to be capricious in front of the Huangfu family. Accompanied by Lian Mengzhu, Ye Wanwan approached Ye Leng’an slowly.
Lian Mengzhu greeted her with a smile, “Hello, Miss Ye.”
While Ye Lengan recognized Ye Wanwan, she was unfamiliar with the noblewoman accompanying her. A hint of confusion appeared on her face.
“Hello, and you are…”
“l haven’t introduced myself yet!” Lian Mengzhu smiled and said, “My husband is the head of the Ye family. I heard you’ve met before, so I came over to greet you.”
“So, you’re Mrs. Ye!” Ye Lengan understood and nodded. “Nice to meet you.”
Unexpectedly, the kind-looking lady before him was Ye Wanwan’s mother! Although they shared some resemblance, their personalities were completely different.
Lian Mengzhu smiled and nodded before saying, “Miss Ye, did you find any jewelry you liked today? Earlier, Wanwan and you had some unpleasantness, and I wanted to apologize on Wanwan’s behalf.”
Despite hearing unfavorable remarks about Ye An’an from Ye Wanwan, for some reason, there was an inclination to feel close when seeing Ye An’an. Perhaps it was the shared surname, and she felt like they had met somewhere before.
Maybe her speculation was correct. Was Ye An’an a descendant of the Ye family who ended up outside?
“No need.” Ye Lengan declined with a shake of her head, smiling as she spoke, “l don’t accept rewards without merit. If I like something, I’ll buy it myself. Besides, the conflicts between me and Miss Ye Wanwan are minor; there’s no need for an apology.”
While they conversed, the shop assistant brought over the necklace Ye Lengan had purchased. After showing it to her once more, the assistant closed the lid, placed it in a bag, and handed it to Ye Leng’an.
Observing this, Lian Mengzhu quickly pulled out her card to pay. However, Ye Leng’an stopped her; she didn’t want to accept gifts from the Ye family.
Despite Lian Mengzhu’s attempts, she couldn’t pay for Ye Lengan under the latter’s strong intervention.
In the Hidden World, similar to the mortal world, not everyone carried an abundance of Spirit Coins. Therefore, banks existed, and most people used Spirit Coin cards for significant payments.
Retrieving her Spirit Coin card, Lian Mengzhu’s smile remained unchanged.
She spoke again, “l just saw the necklace Miss Ye bought. I didn’t expect Miss Ye to appreciate jewelry made from this material!”
“Oh!” Ye Leng’an’s eyes flickered with a hint of interest upon hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words. Then, she casually remarked, “l didn’t expect Mrs. Ye to also like jewelry made from this material! So, are you here to purchase these kinds of jewelry as well?”
“Yes, indeed!” Lian Mengzhu smiled and nodded. “However, it’s not me who appreciates this type of jewelry; it’s my sister. Her birthday is approaching, so I took advantage of today’s free time to come and choose if there’s anything suitable.’
Ye Lengan nodded, smiling. “It seems Mrs. Ye truly cares for your sister!”
“l only have one sister, Zixin. Naturally, I cherish her a lot.” Lian Mengzhu revealed a gentle expression when talking about her younger sister. “We’re biological sisters, and though I’m over ten years older than her, our relationship is very good..”
