“Ye Leng’an, at this point, you still dare to threaten Wanwan here.”

Before Ye Wanwan could say anything, Zhongyu Jiarui couldn’t help but speak out, “Let me tell you, all the major families in the Hidden World are here. Don’t think you can act recklessly.”

“Zhongyu Jiarui, since this matter has nothing to do with you, please refrain from speaking,” Ye Leng’an looked coldly at Zhongyu Jiarui. “If you continue to meddle here, don’t blame me for being impolite.”

As she spoke, Ye Leng’an’s gaze slowly fell on the injured wrist of Zhongyu Jiarui. The threat in her eyes was unmistakable.

That icy stare felt like a piercing arrow straight to the heart. Feeling the waves of pain from her wrist, Zhongyu Jiarui couldn’t help but shiver, taking a few steps back.

Seeing Ye Leng’an threaten his daughter like this, Master Zhongyu was also furious. However, before he could say anything, Ye Leng’an’s gaze once again landed on Ye Wanwan.

“Ye Wanwan, you haven’t answered me yet!”

Facing Ye Leng’an’s relentless pressure, Ye Wanwan pressed her lips tightly together. An unknown glint flashed in her eyes, but she refrained from directly answering Ye Leng’an’s question.

“Miss Ye, why are you being so aggressive?” When Murong Xingrui saw this, he couldn’t help but defend his fiancée, “Wanwan has already told the truth. As a victim, why should she endure your interrogation? Don’t think that just because of your relationship with the Ye family, you can…”

“Xingrui!”

As Murong Xingrui spoke further, Ye Wanwan felt a twinge of anxiety. Just as Murong Xingrui was about to reveal Ye Leng’an’s identity, she hastily intervened. She couldn’t allow Ye Leng’an’s background to be exposed here, whether for her own status or due to her grandfather’s strict orders.

Hearing the urgency in her voice, Murong Xingrui couldn’t help but furrow his brows. He looked down to see Ye Wanwan gripping his wrist tightly, shaking her head gently, her eyes pleading.

Though he didn’t understand why Ye Wanwan chose to yield, he couldn’t continue speaking under her beseeching gaze.

A hint of sympathy flickered in Ye Leng’an’s eyes as she glanced at Murong Xingrui.

Perhaps Murong Xingrui still didn’t grasp the true nature of his fiancée! Or perhaps, he was unaware of the schemes within the Ye family. It seemed he was still too young to suspect Ye Wanwan’s peculiar behavior!

Even if Murong Xingrui was slow to catch on, he could sense Ye Leng’an’s peculiar gaze. Was the other party sympathizing with him?

A strange sensation stirred in his heart, but now wasn’t the time to dwell on it.

Ye Wanwan lifted her head, meeting Ye Leng’an’s gaze directly. “Ye Leng’an, I no longer intend to pursue this matter.”

Having her parents stand by her side was already the day’s greatest surprise for her. Moreover, with Huangfu Ruiling backing Ye Leng’an, even if Ye Leng’an had truly harmed her, she wouldn’t face any consequences. Her parents wouldn’t seek retribution for her sake.

So, putting an end to this matter now was for the best. Moreover, by her own initiative, it would showcase her magnanimity and deepen her parents’ sense of guilt.

“Ye Wanwan, it seems you’re certain that I lack evidence, hence your audacity in accusing me!” Ye Leng’an sneered. “But how can you be sure I won’t be able to handle you?”

Seeing Ye Leng’an’s composed demeanor, Ye Wanwan’s heart skipped a beat. But she quickly regained her composure. She was certain there had been no one else in the restroom at the time except for her and Ye Leng’an. Even Zhongyu Jiarui had entered later, despite her adamant claims.

Therefore, Ye Leng’an definitely lacked any evidence to prove her innocence.

“I’ve decided not to pursue this matter any further. What more do you want?” Ye Wanwan’s expression betrayed her anguish. “Must you force me to admit that I went so far as to harm myself just to frame you?”

With those words, all sympathetic gazes turned to Ye Wanwan.

Especially when they recalled the bloodstains on her body and her pallid complexion when she emerged. Even her breathing seemed faint, making it impossible for her to have self-inflicted such injuries unless she had a death wish.

Such severe injuries, despite having taken medicinal pills, would likely require a long period of recovery. It was unlikely that anyone could be so ruthless towards themselves!

Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu’s hearts ached even more. They couldn’t help but feel a hint of resentment towards Ye Leng’an. Though they encouraged Ye Wanwan to speak the truth, they never intended to harm Ye Leng’an! Why was Ye Leng’an pressuring Wanwan like this?

To everyone’s surprise, shortly after Ye Wanwan finished speaking, Ye Leng’an nodded solemnly. “It seems you’re aware of your place!”

“Ye Leng’an, don’t go too far.” Ye Hongxuan couldn’t bear it any longer. He stepped forward, shielding Ye Wanwan. “Wanwan is already injured. What she needs now is healing and recuperation, not to be pressured by you step by step.”

Even Lian Mengzhu sighed helplessly. “Ye Leng’an, we understand that you harbor resentment, but you shouldn’t have laid hands on Wanwan. Now that she has decided not to pursue the matter, we hope you can understand and stop being so aggressive.”

She spoke in veiled terms because her father had strictly forbidden any mention of the relationship between Ye Leng’an and the Ye family. However, she was deeply disappointed in her biological daughter, Ye Leng’an.

Though they were biological siblings, the difference was significant without growing up together. Growing up in a small wealthy family in the mortal world, Ye Leng’an lacked the demeanor of a young lady from a prominent family. Moreover, her personality was too sharp. This wouldn’t bode well for her future.

Though Huangfu Ruiling could tolerate it, he was still young. But what about in the future? Once the sweetness faded, had Ye Leng’an considered what her path would be?
