“What?” Upon hearing Lian Zixin’s words, Ye Wanwan immediately shot her an indignant look, her eyes filled with displeasure. “What’s wrong with you? How could someone be so foolish as to lose their own bracelet? Are you out of your mind?”
Now she finally understood why Ye An’an had mysteriously shown up at her doorstep with a bracelet. It was all because of this revelation. Did Ye An’an already know everything, prompting her visit?
With these thoughts in mind, Ye Wanwan couldn’t shake off a sense of unease. At this moment, panic overwhelmed her, fearing that Ye An’ an might head straight to her parents and spill all the details. If that were the case, she would be in deep trouble.
“Wanwan, don’t be hasty. Things haven’t reached their worst yet!” Lian Zixin quickly interjected to console her. “Moreover, we’re not certain whether Ye An’an is the child from back then. If she is, why would she engage in such mystification here? She would have surely disclosed everything by now.”
If she were in Ye An’an’s shoes, discovering such a significant secret on her person and having powerful biological parents, she would waste no time in acknowledging them.
“Even if Ye An’an isn’t the child from back then, she must know something.” A sharp gleam flashed in Ye Wanwan!s eyes. “Otherwise, why would she come to our doorstep with that bracelet?”
“Wanwan, I told you this today because I’m truly at my wit’s end.” Lian Zixin sensed Ye Wanwan’s growing disdain but had to press on. “I’m running out of options, and I hope you can send someone to the mortal world to investigate whether Ye An’an is the child from back then. Also, erase all traces of my past actions.
She keenly felt that ever since the truth came out, Ye Wanwan’s attitude had soured. Ye Wanwan was only willing to sit here and talk to her because of Ye
An’an.
If possible, she intended to guard this secret for the rest of her life. She couldn’t let anyone jeopardize her daughter’s inheritance of the Ye family, including herself. However, Ye Aryan’s appearance made her fear exposure.
Unable to prevent it, she had to approach Ye Wanwan and disclose the truth.
“You are really useless.” Ye Wanwan glanced at Lian Zixin but agreed nonetheless. “I’ll dispatch someone to the mortal world to investigate. During this period, behave yourself and refrain from reckless actions. Also, you absolutely mustn’t reveal any slip-ups in front of Mother, or I won’t spare you.”
Although Ye Wanwan now knew that Lian Zixin was her biological mother, in her heart, Lian Mengzhu, the matriarch of the Ye family, held that place.
From childhood, she had always looked down on Lian Zixin. Even knowing the truth now didn’t change that. If possible, she wouldn’t have wanted to come from Lian Zixin’s womb at all.
“No, no.” Lian Zixin felt uncomfortable with Ye Wanwan’s attitude, but she would never express any dissatisfaction in front of Ye Wanwan. “It’s been so many years; I’ll never show any lapses in front of my sister.”
Though Ye Wanwan was her daughter, she perpetually harbored a sense of inferiority in her presence. Ye Wanwan’s aura was overpowering, having grown up in the Ye family and been personally nurtured by Ye Hongxuan. She was worlds apart from someone from a modest background.
Seeing Ye Wanwan in this light, Lian Zixin’s heart swelled with both pride and bitterness. Nevertheless, no matter what, she remained content.
In this lifetime, she could never surpass her sister. However, her daughter could outshine her sister’s daughter. Furthermore, her daughter had inherited everything from her sister’s daughter.
Contemplating this, she felt that it was all worthwhile. Even if Ye Wanwan wasn’t close to her, their bond through blood was indissoluble..
