Huangfu Ruiling nodded. “Ye Wanwan has consistently behaved well, making it seem like Ye Yikun truly cares for his granddaughter. If you can present greater benefits to him, he might readily abandon Ye Wanwan.”

“No need for that.” Ye Leng’an shook her head. “I’m not interested in the Ye family. I just can’t let Ye Wanwan’s arrogance go unchecked. Moreover, I have to avenge Lian Zixin.”

Huangfu Ruiling raised an eyebrow. “So, you’ve resolved not to return to the Ye family?”

“I won’t return,” Ye Leng’an affirmed. With a hint of irony, she continued, “Didn’t you notice just now? Even Lian Mengzhu is reluctant to part with Ye Wanwan. I’d rather not interfere with their mother-daughter relationship.”

She had discerned that Lian Mengzhu, despite knowing the truth about Ye Wanwan being Lian Zixin’s biological daughter, had no intention of abandoning her.

Huangfu Ruiling’s eyes revealed a hint of darkness. “Their judgment is flawed. You need not concern yourself.”

While Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu paid no attention to Ye Leng’an, Huangfu Ruiling did. If they harmed An’an due to Ye Wanwan, he wouldn’t let them off easily.

“No need to console me; I’m not that fragile.” Ye Leng’an chuckled. “As you know, I’m indifferent to them. So, even if they choose Ye Wanwan, it won’t sadden me.”

Watching Ye Leng’an’s calm demeanor, Huangfu Ruiling felt an inexplicable discomfort. He wondered what experiences had led Ye Leng’an to be so indifferent to her biological parents.

“Let’s not dwell on this.” Ye Leng’an smiled, shaking her head. “We still have to visit the Ye family tomorrow! I’ll be sure to collect my due interest.”

Huangfu Ruiling remained silent. Internally, she resolved that if Ye Hongxuan continued to defend Ye Wanwan the next day, she wouldn’t stand idly by. Ye Wanwan had to face the consequences of her actions.

While Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Leng’an had a calm conversation, life seemed undisturbed, appearing no different than usual.

On the contrary, at the Ye residence, especially with Ye Hongxuan, tranquility eluded him. Though he held the truth, the complexity of his feelings persisted even after verification.

He had never anticipated that Ye Wanwan, whom he cherished and cultivated, was not his biological daughter but the offspring of the culprit, Lian Zixin. Despite this revelation, the bond they had formed over the years couldn’t be easily dismissed. Knowing Ye Wanwan was not his biological daughter didn’t make it easier for him to let her go.

Observing Ye Leng’an’s confrontation earlier, he realized the conflict between the two was significant. Uncertainty lingered about what would transpire the next day.

He truly wished to avoid a deep-seated conflict between his biological and adopted daughters. He found himself at a loss on how to handle the situation.

Yet, he had to inform his father promptly. His father had always adored Wanwan, and he wasn’t sure how he would react.

Without hesitation, Ye Hongxuan immediately headed to his father’s courtyard and revealed everything.

After hearing Ye Hongxuan’s account, Ye Yikun’s expression remained unchanged. Indifferently, he asked, “What are your plans?”

Considering for a moment, Ye Hongxuan responded, “Regardless, Ye Leng’an is our child, part of the Ye family’s bloodline. She must return. As for Wanwan… If Ye Leng’an can accept it, let Wanwan stay. If not, send Wanwan away!”

Despite his affection for Wanwan, his biological ties with Ye Leng’an took precedence, especially considering years of neglect. Thus, Ye Leng’an became his priority.

He believed the conflict between Ye Wanwan and Ye Leng’an could be resolved, as they were not mortal enemies. Additionally, Wanwan was a sensible child, capable of peacefully coexisting with Ye Leng’an.

In his optimistic thoughts, Ye Hongxuan had forgotten Ye Leng’an’s previous declaration of not acknowledging her biological parents or returning to the Ye family.

“Ye Leng’an can return,” Ye Yikun stated calmly. “But Wanwan cannot leave. If Ye Leng’an can’t accept Wanwan, she shouldn’t return.”

“Father!” Ye Hongxuan couldn’t believe his ears. “Leng’an is your biological granddaughter!”

Acknowledging Leng’an’s importance, he still considered Ye Leng’an, his biological daughter, superior. However, from his father’s perspective, if Ye Leng’an couldn’t accept Wanwan, she wouldn’t be recognized as his biological granddaughter.

“I understand.” Ye Yikun remained composed. Lifting his head, he fixed his sharp gaze on Ye Hongxuan. “But don’t forget, Wanwan is not just your daughter; she’s also Murong Xingrui’s fiancée. In the future, she will become the matriarch of the Murong family. With Wanwan here, the connection between the Ye family and the Murong family remains solid. But what can Ye Leng’an do? As you said, she grew up in the mortal world. Whether she possesses the talent for cultivation is unknown. Wanwan, however, is the successor you’ve cultivated. Tell me, who is more qualified to hold the position of the young lady of the Ye family?”

He had not just one son, so other granddaughters existed. Even though Ye Leng’an was his biological granddaughter, she couldn’t surpass Wanwan’s importance in his heart. Wanwan, by maintaining ties between the Ye and Murong families, held a special place.

Ye Hongxuan, hearing his father’s words, displayed disbelief on his face. “Father, how could you…”

While he knew his father prioritized family interests, he didn’t anticipate his father would abandon his granddaughter for this reason.
