Chapter 616: Confessing the Truth

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation   Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

She had always been proud of being the young lady of the Ye family, the sole daughter of the family head, and the only heir. Growing up, her parents showered her with love. She had never fathomed that she might not be their biological child.

What hit her the hardest was discovering that her biological mother was, in fact, her aunt. What was worse, it was her biological mother who had swapped her with her aunt’s daughter.

The child – she had to know about that child. “What about that child?” Ye Wanwan urgently asked, “Where is that child? Is she still alive?”

That was her sole concern. As the esteemed young lady of the Ye family, the heir to their legacy, and an envy-inducing figure in the Hidden World, she couldn’t afford to lose everything.

Upon hearing Ye Wanwan mention the child, Lian Zixin struggled to stop crying and replied, “I’m not entirely sure about that child. After swapping you with that child, to eliminate any potential issues, I sent her to the mortal world. 1 haven’t kept a close eye on it since.”

Ye Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, then forced herself to calm down. Only in composure could she make the right decision. Simultaneously, she began to condemn Lian Zixin in her heart.

To Ye Wanwan, Lian Zixin appeared to be a coward. If she had already committed such an act, why not eradicate the source? The child was just an infant – wouldn’t it have been more efficient to end its life?

She didn’t consider herself heartless. She absolutely couldn’t tolerate anyone attempting to take everything away from her.

“Wanwan, I didn’t deceive you. I am genuinely your biological mother,” Lian Zixin emphatically stated. “Back then, I swapped you two so that you could inherit everything from the Ye family. Wanwan, I love you; that’s why I did it.”

Ye Wanwan’s expression remained unchanged. In fact, after hearing Lian Zixin’s words, a hint of derision surfaced on her face. “If you truly loved me, you shouldn’t be revealing this now. Tell me! Why did you bring up this matter now? What do you want from me?”

Despite her verbal denial earlier, Ye Wanwan knew deep down that Lian Zixin was telling the truth. She wasn’t truly the biological daughter of her parents; she was an impostor who had infiltrated their family. Yet, even armed with this knowledge, she had no intention of leaving the Ye family.

She understood that everything she possessed was granted by the Ye family. She was still young, and if her true identity were discovered at this juncture, her future would be irreversibly jeopardized.

The reason for uttering such words to Lian Zixin was her genuine belief that Lian Zixin wanted something in return for disclosing this information. Perhaps she intended to use this revelation as leverage!

Contemplating this, frustration welled up within Ye Wanwan. When she gazed at Lian Zixin, there was even a glint of murderous intent in her eyes.

Unaware of Ye Wanwan’s current hostility, Lian Zixin quickly shook her head after hearing those words. “No, Wanwan, you’ve misunderstood. I don’t want anything, and I have no intention of threatening you with this matter. If I could, l t d never tell you the truth.”

This was genuinely her intention. From the moment she swapped the two children, she considered herself to have lost her daughter. Moreover, she never entertained the idea of revealing the truth; she feared any inadvertent revelation would jeopardize everything.

“Are you sure about the things you’re saying now?” The derision on Ye Wanwan’s face intensified. “If you’re not seeking some advantage from me, why reveal this matter now?”

“Wanwan, I didn’t plan this. It’s just that I can’t avoid saying it now.” Lian Zixin looked at Ye Wanwan and continued, “l suspect that the child swapped back then might also be in the Hidden World now.”

“Clang!

Ye Wanwan’s abrupt movement accidentally swept the cup off the table. The scalding tea spilled onto her hand, turning her once fair skin into a fiery red

hue.

However, Ye Wanwan seemed impervious to the pain. She stared fixedly at

Lian Zixin and demanded, “Who is that child? Have you seen her? Moreover, does she already know everything?”

“Wanwan, your hand.” Concerned for Ye Wanwan’s burn, Lian Zixin tried to pull her hand, intending to apply medication.

Ye Wanwan immediately retracted her hand, her icy gaze fixated on Lian

Zixin. “I’m asking you a question! You haven’t answered me.”

“Wanwan, let’s address the injury on your hand first!” Lian Zixin pleaded in a hushed tone, “We can talk after the medicine is applied, alright?”

“I’m asking you!” Unmoved by Lian Zixin’s concern, Ye Wanwan continued, “Answer me.”

She needed to know who that person was. Only by ascertaining the person’s identity could she decide her next course of action.

Seeing Ye Wanwan’s unwavering determination, Lian Zixin had no choice but to respond, “I’m just speculating, Wanwan. That child is very likely Ye Aryan.”

“What? Ye An’an?”

Ye Wanwan abruptly stood up, her eyes widened in panic. “Are you sure? Is it really Ye An’an?”

She suddenly recalled that Ye An’an had met Lian Zixin at the Ye family’s residence. When Lian Zixin left, she even emphasized that she was seventeen years old.

During a previous encounter while shopping with her mother, she had coincidentally met Ye Anan. Over lunch, Ye An’an had mentioned that they were of the same age.

If that person was indeed Ye An’an, what should she do?

“I’m not entirely sure.” Lian Zixin shook her head. “Back then, I clearly sent the child to the mortal world. However…

“Ye An’an came from the mortal world,” Ye Wanwan coldly interrupted Lian

Zixin. “I’m asking you now, can you confirm that Ye An’an is the child from back then?”

Lian Zixin didn’t know how to respond. After a long pause, she sighed and shook her head. can’t confirm. It’s been too long, but the bracelet on Ye

Leng’an’s hand might have fallen off when I brought the child to the mortal

world..
