Chapter 1011: Taking Action
Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Ye Hongxuan wasn’t sure what was going on, but he quietly guided his father to the room, planning to call the physicians for help. Then, a cold voice interrupted them.
“Wait.”
Ye Hongxuan turned to Huangfu Ruiling, his anger rising. “Don’t go too far, Huangfu Ruiling. Ye Leng’an seems okay, but my father is almost at death’s door. Are you really going to be so heartless at a time like this?”
Before Huangfu Ruiling could reply, Ye Leng’an retorted, “Master Ye, if you don’t know the situation, don’t speak. And as for me being fine? It’s because I’m strong. Otherwise, you’d be arranging my funeral.”
Ye Hongxuan blushed at this. He could be firm with Huangfu Ruiling, but facing Ye Leng’an, he felt uneasy.
However, looking at his aged father, he couldn’t help but plead, “Ye Leng’an, let’s forget past grudges. This is your grandfather. He’s in bad shape, and we don’t know how long he’ll last. Can’t you let him be for the sake of family? Even if you spare him, he won’t last long.”
“Li San!” Ignoring Ye Hongxuan, Huangfu Ruiling ordered, “Take Ye Yikun down.”
Ye Hongxuan wouldn’t allow them to take his father. Taking him now might mean losing him forever. Besides, if Huangfu Ruiling took his father, the news would spread, humiliating the Ye family.
Soon, Ye Hongxuan and Li San were fighting.
Seeing this, Huangfu Ruiling wanted to intervene, but Ye Leng’an halted him. She stepped forward and confronted Ye Hongxuan.
This unexpected turn surprised everyone. However, Ye Leng’an didn’t harm him, merely pushed him back and manded, “Take Ye Yikun away.”
Ye Hongxuan stood there, stunned, unable to believe what had just happened.
Liang Mengzhu hurried over and checked on her husband, After finding him unharmed, she looked at Ye Leng’an with a mix of emotions. “You…”
“Surprised?” Ye Leng’an’s eyes were cold. “Or do you think I shouldn’t have intervened?”
“He’s your father,” Lian Mengzhu protested.
“So what? Just because of some blood tie?” Ye Leng’an scoffed. “You never cared for me. Why should I care now?”
“But we never meant to hurt you,” Lian Mengzhu said.
Now Ye Hongxuan had e to his senses, but his expression was grim, clearly not having recovered from the blow just now. “All this time, we’ve wanted to make it up to you, but you…”
“Don’t tell me it’s my fault for not accepting it!” Ye Leng’an smirked. “If you wanted to make it right, you should’ve kicked out Ye Wanwan as soon as you knew the truth.”
“But, Wanwan…” Lian Mengzhu couldn’t help but speak up in defense. “Wanwan is innocent. It was Zixin who was wrong back then. She’s already been punished, hasn’t she?”
“Ye Wanwan’s biggest sin is being Lian Zixin’s daughter,” Ye Leng’an cut her off. “We can’t coexist. So why moralize to me? Do you think I’m easy to bully?”
“We didn’t mean to,” Lian Mengzhu insisted. “We love you. But your grandfather…”
She resented Ye Yikun’s dominance, which prevented them from bringing Ye Leng’an back, leading to the current situation. Before, she couldn’t resist because Ye Yikun held all the power in the family, even deciding her husband’s position as the family head.
“Don’t dump all the blame on others,” Ye Lengan scoffed at Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. “You’re grown-ups now. Even if Ye Yikun disagrees, if you hold your ground, there’s a way out. The problem is, you prioritize the Ye family’s power over our supposed family ties, just because I’m not as important to you as Ye Yikun’s authority.”
