At this heartwarming moment, a mocking voice disrupted the atmosphere.

“Your performance is truly impressive!” Ye Leng’an gazed at Ye Wanwan with an entirely sarcastic look when speaking. “Why pretend now? You were well aware of it long ago. You even let Yuan Silei present me with such a generous gift! Didn’t you give her the Soul Dissipating Powder, instructing her to destroy me?

Upon hearing Ye Leng’an mention Yuan Silei, Ye Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat, though she maintained an innocent facade. “Ye Leng’an, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I just learned about this matter recently. It’s a significant blow to me, and I never imagined I might not be the child of my parents.”

Uncertain if Yuan Silei had revealed something, Ye Wanwan knew people in the mortal world were often fools. Even such a small matter couldn’t be handled properly, and Ye Leng’an had found out. The money was wasted. In hindsight, she should have directly taken action; it would have been more reliable.

Yet, irrespective of whether Ye Leng’an knew she orchestrated this, she could never admit it. Even if exposed eventually, there would be individuals willingly accepting the blame for her.

“Whether you admit it or not holds no significance to me,” Ye Leng’an stated casually. “As long as I’m convinced it was you, I don’t need evidence.”

Hearing Ye Leng’an’s words, Ye Wanwan’s expression turned despondent. “I know you resent me for occupying your position for so many years, but I never wanted any of this! You can’t accuse me of harming you just because of that!”

Her appeasing demeanor evoked sympathy from Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu, who had raised her. Despite knowing she wasn’t their biological child, their emotional attachment remained.

“Leng’an, there may be some misunderstanding.” Lian Mengzhu smiled, attempting to mediate. “We’ll investigate the matter you mentioned. If someone truly aims to harm you, we won’t stand idly by.”

“That’s right,” Ye Hongxuan added. “Although Wanwan is a bit indulged, she isn’t so ruthless.”

As the Ye family’s patriarch, he was well-acquainted with the Soul Dissipating Powder. Therefore, he doubted Ye Wanwan would commit such an act. He believed there must be a misunderstanding.

“Master Ye and Mrs. Ye are truly magnanimous!” Huangfu Ruiling sneered, his tone dripping with mockery. “You don’t believe your biological daughter’s words but readily trust an adopted one. If it’s not one’s own upbringing, there’s no attachment, right?”

Fortunately, An’an lacked emotions and expectations for her parents. Otherwise, facing such a situation would be heartbreaking. The pair in front of her didn’t deserve to be An’an’s parents.

Huangfu Ruiling’s words made Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s expressions awkward. They wanted to explain but were at a loss for words.

“What audacity!”

At that moment, an elderly voice resonated, and Ye Yikun entered. As he did, he emanated his own aura, directed towards Huangfu Ruiling. “This is an internal matter of our Ye family. What qualifies you to intervene?”

With Ye Yikun’s entrance, a potent aura spread through the living room. Even Ye Hongxuan struggled to breathe, let alone Lian Mengzhu and Ye Wanwan. They felt a tangible difficulty in catching their breath.

Only Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an, facing the pressure, remained unaffected.

Observing Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an’s reactions, Ye Yikun found their responses surprising.

When his gaze landed on Ye Leng’an, a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

The fact that she remained unaffected under his pressure, without an increased heartbeat, highlighted her formidable psychological resilience. If Ye Leng’an had grown up in the Ye family, given her courage and capabilities, she would likely have achieved more than Ye Wanwan. Unfortunately, she grew up in the mortal world. Even if nurtured now, she couldn’t surpass Ye Wanwan.

Furthermore, the critical factor was that Ye Wanwan was already engaged to Murong Xingrui, maintaining the relationship between the Ye and Murong families.

Hence, Ye Wanwan must not lose her status as the Ye family’s young lady.

“You are Ye Leng’an,” Ye Yikun stated, looking at her seriously. “Since you are part of the Ye family, return. From today, the Ye family will dedicate efforts to nurture you. However… The Ye family absolutely cannot become a joke with a secretly swapped child. Therefore, Wanwan’s status won’t change. I will announce that due to frail health, you were sent elsewhere for recovery and only recently returned. You will be recognized as the second young lady of the Ye family.”

Ye Wanwan’s heart finally settled.

She knew her grandfather’s authority in the family was absolute. Even though her father was now the head of the family, her grandfather’s orders still couldn’t be disobeyed. With her grandfather personally acknowledging her identity, even if Ye Leng’an returned, it wouldn’t affect her position.

With this in mind, a subtle smile appeared on Ye Wanwan’s lips. When she looked at Ye Leng’an, her eyes carried a hint of provocation.

Sensing Ye Wanwan’s provocation and hearing Ye Yikun’s benevolent words, Ye Leng’an found it amusing. In fact, she burst into laughter. “You truly enjoy joking. This is by far the funniest joke I’ve heard.”

“Shut up.” Seeing Ye Leng’an’s expression, Ye Yikun’s face darkened. When he gazed at Ye Leng’an, his expression turned considerably colder. “Ye Leng’an, don’t think that because you have Ye family blood, I’ll show leniency. Let me make it clear, as long as I’m unwilling to acknowledge you as my granddaughter, even if you’re Hongxuan’s daughter, you won’t enter the Ye family.”

“I’ve never considered returning to the Ye family,” Ye Leng’an retorted, resting her chin on her hand and looking at Ye Yikun with a mocking smile. “Who told you I wanted to return?”
