Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Such a scene suddenly was quite a shock for Ye Xiyuan.

It had been a long time since she last saw Ye Leng’an. Or perhaps, she had almost forgotten about her by now. Meeting her again so suddenly, she was momentarily taken aback.

Soon enough, she regained her composure, followed by a surge of intense jealousy and resentment.

Facing Ye Leng’an, she felt like a joke. She was supposed to be the chosen one, yet because of Ye Leng’an, she had been pushed to this extent.

Despite being young and beautiful, she found herself groveling to a despicable man like Nangong Riming. Meanwhile, Ye Leng’an was able to be with a young talent like Huangfu Ruiling.

She had even had the chance to shine in the college entrance exam. However, all because of Ye Leng’an, she had become a complete laughingstock.

Despite her heart being filled with hatred, Ye Xiyuan gritted her teeth and suppressed the anger about to erupt from within. She turned and left.

She knew full well that in Ye Leng’an’s presence, she was nothing but insignificant. If a conflict were to arise, she would undoubtedly be the one at a disadvantage.

Her focus now was not to continue squabbling with Ye Leng’an, but to live her life to the fullest.

With these thoughts in mind, Ye Xiyuan hastened her steps, taking advantage of Ye Leng’an’s distraction to swiftly leave the hotel.

Little did she know that Ye Leng’an had already noticed her presence the moment she passed by.

After the waiter left, Ye Leng’an sighed. “Ye Xiyuan is like a cockroach that just won’t die! But, her patron, Nangong Riming, must be having a hard time too!”

“Second Madam Nangong is already pregnant, about to give birth,” Huangfu Ruiling replied casually. “And, I’ve confirmed it at the hospital. It’s a boy. So, Nangong Riming is in a rather awkward position.”

Previously, Nangong family’s second branch had no sons, making Nangong Riming the heir of the second branch. However, now that Second Madam Nangong was pregnant, the child would rightfully inherit. Moreover, with the powerful backing of Second Madam Nangong’s maternal family, Nangong Riming, as an illegitimate child, was no match.

Even Second Master Nangong had his mind focused on the upcoming child, with no time for Nangong Riming.

Hearing this news, Ye Leng’an’s mood undoubtedly lifted. She picked up a piece of meat and happily took a bite. “Then Ye Xiyuan must be having a tough time, right?”

“She’s still repeating her studies,” Huangfu Ruiling replied. “But her mind is not on studying now, but on Nangong Riming. She’s hardly attending school regularly. At this rate, she won’t make it to university this year.”

Ever since he learned of the feud between Ye Leng’an and Ye Xiyuan, he had kept an eye on Ye Xiyuan. So when Ye Leng’an asked, he was ready with the answer.

“What a waste of the chance God gave her.” Ye Leng’an smirked mockingly. “But does she really think Nangong Riming is someone she can rely on? How naive!”

After a moment of thought, Huangfu Ruiling asked, “So, what do you plan to do about Ye Xiyuan?”

Ye Leng’an’s smile turned cold. “When she loses everything, it’s time for her to pay for the mistakes of her past life.”

She never intended to let Ye Xiyuan off; she was her inner demon from a past life. Destroying this inner demon was necessary for her breakthrough in cultivation.

In the Hidden World’s Ye family.

Ye Yikun was sitting in his courtyard.

Standing before him was Ye Wanwan.

At this moment, Ye Wanwan kept her head low, a hint of fear in her expression. Perhaps because her body hadn’t fully recovered, her complexion remained pale, looking as though she might collapse at any moment.

In reality, her condition wasn’t good at all. According to the doctor’s advice, she should be resting in bed.

However, her grandfather had instructed her to come over as soon as she woke up. She didn’t dare hesitate and hurried over.

She knew that her recent foolish actions would surely anger her grandfather. So, before coming over, she had mentally prepared herself to face his stormy scolding.

However, ever since she entered the courtyard, her grandfather had remained silent, not uttering a word to her, nor scolding her.

This didn’t ease her at all; instead, it made her even more uneasy.

If her grandfather scolded or cursed her now, it would mean he still had expectations for her. But now, with his silence, she feared he had already decided to give up on her.

The thought of being abandoned filled Ye Wanwan with endless panic.

Finally, after a long silence, Ye Yikun spoke, “Ye Wanwan, do you know what you did wrong this time?”

Ye Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat, and she immediately sobered up. “Grandfather, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have falsely accused Ye Leng’an.”

She wasn’t sure if her answer was what her grandfather wanted, but one thing was clear. She was truly in the wrong this time.

“No, that’s not what I want to say. You didn’t have the strength to do so, yet you provoked her.” Ye Yikun’s cold gaze landed on Ye Wanwan. “Do you know that because of your ignorant actions, the Ye family is now in the middle of the storm?”

Ye Wanwan opened her mouth, but she didn’t know how to explain herself. She couldn’t say anything.

“There’s one more important thing.” Ye Yikun’s tone became even colder. “Because of this matter, your identity is about to be exposed. Are you not planning on getting married to the Murong family?”

As soon as he said that, Ye Wanwan’s face turned even paler as if she would collapse at any moment.

That was what she was most worried about at the moment. Previously, she had always hidden her identity in front of Murong Xingrui, but now everything was exposed.
