“We can still have a talk whether it’s a misunderstanding or not, can’t we?” The countenance on Mrs. Zhao’s face did not change. She even gave a faint smile. “Whether it conforms with the regulations or not, that depends on the outcome of our discussion! The police are also quite busy. Isn’t it better if we don’t add to their burden?”
“I don’t think so.” Ye Leng’an shook her head with a smile. “Aren’t police officers supposed to help the people? I think they should be happy to seek justice for me.”
There was a gleam in Mrs. Zhao’s eyes when she saw Ye Leng’an’s stubbornness. She still had a smile on her face, as if she did not hear Ye
Leng’an’s rejection at all. “Ye Leng’an, Yanran was indeed at fault this time. However, this was not her intention. She was just misled by those rumors. In the end, the culprit was the most detestable.”
“That’s why I won’t let the culprit off!” Ye Leng’an replied with a smile, “However, Zhao Yanran isn’t innocent for ruining my reputation!”
“Ye Leng’an, since things have come to this, why don’t we get straight to the point?” Mrs. Zhao decided not to beat around the bush since she couldn’t persuade Ye Leng’an. “I believe you already knew the reason why we came here today. We admit Yanran’s mistake and are willing to make compensation. If you have any requests, just tell us directly. Let’s see if we can discuss it properly. As long as this matter doesn’t end up in court, we’re willing to compensate you within a reasonable range for your emotional suffering.”
“Oh, Mrs. Zhao wanted to use the money to make me drop the case.” Ye Leng’an didn’t seem surprised at all. “Then, how much do you think will be enough to compensate me for my emotional distress?”
“Hmph, Ye Leng’an, I knew it. You made such a big fuss just to extort money.” Zhao Yanran, who had been sitting at the side, couldn’t help but say, “One million. Ye Leng’an, as long as you’re willing to drop the case, we can give you one million which you won’t be able to earn in your lifetime.
Zhao Yanran had a disdainful look on her face while speaking. Although she was a little scared when the police first came to her door, she later realized that Ye Leng’an had made such a big deal out of it just to extort money. After all, Ye Leng’an had already left the Ye family and couldn’t squander like before. So, she was definitely short of money now.
What Ye Leng’an said confirmed her guess.
“Yanran, shut up!” Mrs. Zhao quickly said, but she couldn’t stop Zhao Yanran from talking.
“A million?” Ye Leng’an looked as if she had heard a joke. “Zhao Yanran, raise your head and take a good look at this villa. Do you know that this villa is mine and is registered under my name alone? Do you think I need one million?”
“You’re lying.” Zhao Yanran’s expression suddenly changed. “You’ve already been kicked out of the Ye family, how could you have the money to buy such a villa?”
She was definitely unwilling to believe this fact. This neighborhood was well-located, and the houses here were not cheap, let alone the villas. Even if she was the daughter of the Zhao family, it was impossible for her to afford such a villa. It didn’t mean that the Zhao family didn’t have the money, but her parents wouldn’t spend such a large amount of money on her.
Mrs. Zhao was also shocked and suspicious. She had initially thought that Ye Leng’an stayed in the villa for the time being. In the beginning, she didn’t plan to come for Ye Leng’an. However, no matter how hard the Zhao family tried, the police still refused to relent. She had no choice but to discuss it with her husband. In the end, she decided to look for Ye Leng’an.
However, when she heard Ye Leng’an say that the villa was registered under her name, she couldn’t help but feel shocked. Ye Leng’an had already left the Ye family, but she was still able to buy this villa. It was obvious that Ye Leng’an was not as simple as she looked on the surface. She just didn’t know whether it was Ye Leng’an or the person behind Ye Leng’an that was powerful.
“Who told you that I was kicked out of the Ye family?” Ye Lengan’s lips curled into a mischievous smile. “Did you see that? Let me tell you, I left the Ye family out of my own will.”
“Everyone said so.” Zhao Yanran’s eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. “How could you..
“Zhao Yanran, don’t forget what makes you lose this time.” Ye Leng’an raised her eyebrows. “Why do you keep repeating what others say?”
“Ye Leng’an, what can I do to make you forgive Yanran?” Mrs. Zhao stopped Zhao Yanran from being quick-tongued and turned to Ye Leng’an. “We came here with great sincerity. As long as it’s a reasonable compensation, we’re willing to pay.”
No matter what, she had to resolve this matter today. Yanran definitely couldn’t have a criminal record, or else her life would really be ruined. Moreover, if the daughter of the Zhao family had a criminal record, the Zhao family’s reputation would be damaged..
