“That’s right! Leng’an, lately I’ve been reminiscing about the past,” Lin Wanqin quickly chid in. “Back then, we truly poured all our efforts into you because you were our biological daughter. We…”
Ye Leng’an raised her hand, halting Lin Wanqin’s words. “There’s no need to play on emotions here. We all know the state of our relationship. It’s unnecessary and frankly tireso.”
Ye Li and Lin Wanqin’s faces turned visibly sour at her blunt words. Although they had anticipated this reaction before coming here, facing it directly was still difficult.
Straightening his expression, Ye Li got to the point. “Leng’an, we ca here today with a request for your help.”
“I refuse,” Ye Leng’an interjected without hesitation. “I don’t agree.”
This imdiate rejection caught Ye Li off guard. “You haven’t even heard our request yet. Why reject it so hastily?”
“That’s right,” Lin Wanqin added anxiously. “It’s just a small matter, and it would be effortless for you. Hear us out before deciding.”
“No need,” Ye Leng’an replied coolly, shaking her head. “Regardless of what you want, my answer remains the sa. Our relationship is over, and I have no interest in rekindling it.”
“Leng’an, don’t be so quick to refuse,” Ye Li urged. “This could benefit you as well. It’s a win-win situation for us.”
“I highly doubt there’s any win-win situation between us,” Ye Leng’an retorted with a hint of sarcasm. “You’re not fooling anyone by suddenly being humble. We both know the reality of our relationship. Your sudden humility is rely a result of needing sothing from .”
“Leng’an, let us finish,” Ye Li persisted urgently. “The Ye Group is currently facing financial difficulties. If you invest, I can arrange for you to receive a 10% stake in the company. It’s a good deal for you, isn’t it?”
Ye Leng’an suddenly realized the purpose of Ye Li and Lin Wanqin’s visit. Previously inford by Huangfu Ruiling, she knew the Ye family was on the brink of collapse. It seed that mont had arrived. Otherwise, Ye Li and Lin Wanqin wouldn’t have swallowed their pride to seek her help.
“Understood.” Ye Leng’an nodded. “And I still refuse. There’s no need to convince further.”
“Why?” Ye Li’s voice rose in frustration. “This could benefit you too. You know the Ye Group is profitable. This is just a temporary setback.”
“Let’s cut to the chase.” Ye Leng’an reclined lazily on the sofa. “You think the Ye Group’s situation is a secret? Everyone who needs to know already does. If there were truly good prospects, why would you turn to the wrong daughter? And don’t assu I’m unaware of your intentions. Your confidence in reviving the Ye Group through my investnt is solely because of Huangfu Ruiling. As soon as the news of Huangfu Ruiling’s fiancée investing in the Ye Group spreads, the company will have substantial backing. Your flattering words are just an attempt to exploit .”
This blunt truth left Ye Li and Lin Wanqin red-faced and speechless. They felt exposed, unable to hide their intentions.
“Leng’an, please help us,” Lin Wanqin pleaded, standing up and kneeling before Ye Leng’an. “Consider it a token of gratitude for my years of care for you. Isn’t that reasonable? Besides, it’s not difficult for you.”
“Don’t bring up the past,” Ye Leng’an replied coldly. “Rember, you accepted five million to sever our ties. We have no relationship now, and there’s no need to reminisce. I won’t waste any more ti.”
Ye Li and Lin Wanqin’s expressions darkened considerably, and when they looked at Ye Leng’an, there was a hidden but palpable sense of resentnt in their eyes.
“So feelings cannot be bought.” Lin Wanqin addressed Ye Leng’an, still unwilling to give up. “From childhood to adulthood, I took care of you. Have you forgotten all of that? Do you rember when you were sick as a child, and I took care of you tirelessly? None of this can simply vanish because of a few words from you.”
As Lin Wanqin recounted the past, Ye Leng’an’s expression remained unchanged, showing no signs of being moved. In fact, she continued to eat the snacks prepared by Sister Li as she listened.
Her relaxed deanor stood in stark contrast to Lin Wanqin’s emotional plea.
Seeing Ye Leng’an’s response, Lin Wanqin found herself at a loss for words. She felt like a clown, dancing in front of Ye Leng’an and becoming the subject of her amusent.
In front of Ye Leng’an, she had lost all her dignity.
“You’re done?” Ye Leng’an remarked as Lin Wanqin fell silent. Setting aside the pastries in her hand, she brushed off the crumbs and continued, “You can leave now. Goodbye. I won’t see you off.”
Ye Li and Lin Wanqin exchanged a glance but showed no intention of leaving. Clearly, they were not willing to depart just yet.
