Even Ye Hongxuan wore a look of unease. He believed that, as the head of the Ye family, he had already personally apologized, demonstrating genuine sincerity. However, now, the other party was audaciously laughing. Wasn’t
this an outright mockery?
“Master Ye, my apologies; I just found it a bit amusing,” Ye Lengan explained. “If I recall correctly, when the auction began, you offered similar apologies on behalf of Miss Ye Wanwan. However, Miss Ye Wanwan is no longer a child; she knows what she’s saying. Her current discontent stems from bidding a high price for the Seven Star Flower.”
These straightforward words ripped apart the thinly veiled cover of embarrassment between them, blatantly disregarding the Ye family’s dignity.
Ye Hongxuan’s expression soured. Although it was true, he couldn’t accept the other party stating it so bluntly.
“Master Ye, no need to feel embarrassed,” Ye Lengan continued ruthlessly. “Everyone witnessed the events at the auction, so there’s nothing more to be said. And since Miss Ye Wanwan doesn’t believe she’s at fault, there’s no need for you to apologize on her behalf.”
“Exactly, I just don’t think I did anything wrong,” Ye Wanwan couldn’t hold back her inner grievance and spoke directly. “If you hadn’t set a deliberate trap just now, I wouldn’t have bid such a high price for the Seven Star Flower! You deliberately provoked me to achieve your goal.”
In fact, after shouting the high bid of 1.1 billion, she hadn’t intended to continue bidding. However, Ye Leng’an’s taunting gaze and the defeated opponents silently fueled her anger, causing her to lose her posure and bid again.
“Wanwan, be quiet.” Ye Hongxuan, seeing Ye Wanwan!s distressed look, felt a headache and a hint of powerlessness.
He didn’t understand how his daughter had suddenly changed like this. While he resented Huangfu Ruiling and Ye Lengan, he was clear in his heart that he couldn’t entirely blame them for this matter. Initially, it was Wanwan who raised the bid. If things had to be clarified, Wanwan would be the one in the wrong.
However, evidently, Ye Wanwan didn’t grasp Ye Hongxuan’s well-intentioned approach. Upon hearing his words, she felt nothing but aggrieved. “Father, how can you say that about me?! It’s clearly Ye An’an’s fault.”
“Miss Ye Wanwan, don’t you truly desire this Seven Star Flower?” Ye Lengan persisted, appearing surprised. “l noticed that every time you raised the bid, you seemed quite enthusiastic. That’s why 1 thought you were determined to secure the Seven Star Flower. Since you say otherwise, I’m curious – if you don’t want it anymore, why keep raising the price?”
Ye Leng’an’s words left Ye Wanwan tongue-tied. Her cheeks turned red, and she stammered, unable to provide a coherent response.
She couldn’t outright admit that she raised the bid to bleed Ye An’an dry!
Seeing Ye Wanwan’s reaction, Ye Hongxuan couldn’t help but sigh. He had previously thought Wanwan was already outstanding, so he didn’t dwell much
on her occasional stubbornness. Now, it seemed he was mistaken, and Wanwan’s disposition indeed needed correction.
“l believe, Miss Ye Wanwan, you didn’t intentionally raise the bid to make me buy it at a high price, right?” Ye Lengan persisted despite Ye Wanwan’s embarrassment. “1 don’t think, as the young lady of the Ye family, you would resort to such actions. Or perhaps, is this your way of seeking revenge due to dissatisfaction with the Huangfu family?”
This Ye Wanwan was truly shameless, initiating the bidding but now shifting the blame onto others. She and Ye Wanwan had no connection, and they weren’t her parents. She had no obligation to indulge her. Since Ye Wanwan no longer cared about her reputation, there was no need for her to show
mercy..
