Chapter 895: Dragging Her Down

Inside the adjacent private room.

Today, Ye Li took his wife and children out for dinner, but Ye Xiyuan was notably absent.

During the recent turmoil in the Ye family, Ye Xiyuan refused to seek help from Nangong Riming. Since then, Ye Li had practically disowned her.

Rumors had it that Second Madam Nangong was pregnant and due to give birth soon. This put Nangong Riming in an awkward position within the family. Given his lackluster achievements, he was already undervalued.

Ye Xiyuan had made a brief visit to the Ye family afterward, presumably to reconcile. However, Ye Li paid her no heed, not even granting her an audience.

On the other hand, seeing Ye Xiyuan’s weary appearance, Lin Wanqin, though hesitant, felt a pang of sympathy. Yet, she dared not voice her feelings, bound by her husband’s stance.

During today’s family gathering, Ye Li purposefully omitted to invite Ye Xiyuan. He now acted as if she didn’t exist, curious to see how she’d fare if she married Nangong Riming.

What was meant to be a joyous occasion was marred by the unexpected encounter with Ye Leng’an, casting a shadow over the gathering.

Except for Ye Anyun, who remained unaffected, both Ye Li and Lin Wanqin seemed preoccupied.

However, being a man, Ye Anyun failed to notice his parents’ unease.

When Ye Anyun stepped out of the room, Lin Wanqin couldn’t help but voice her concerns. “Honey, do you think Ye Leng’an suspects us?”

Encountering Ye Leng’an today made her feel guilty for her previous actions, almost betraying Ye Leng’an.

“Don’t speak foolishly,” Ye Li warned, his tone stern. “We have nothing to do with Ye Leng’an anymore. Besides, we haven’t done anything that could be considered betrayal.”

“But, we…” Lin Wanqin stopped herself mid-sentence, realizing something. Though still uneasy, she didn’t press further. “I can’t shake off the feeling that Ye Leng’an’s gaze was peculiar when she saw us. What if she knows something?”

“As long as you keep quiet, she’ll never find out,” Ye Li said coldly. “And if we happen to meet again, you mustn’t show any guilt. Ye Leng’an is sharp. Acting suspiciously will only raise her suspicions.”

“I understand.” Lin Wanqin nodded. Though still uneasy, she managed a smile. “Honey, what do you think those people are planning to do with that thing?”

“What concern is it of ours?” Ye Li glanced at her before continuing, “From now on, forget all about it, whether the matter or the item.”

Ye Li’s expression grew graver. “Remember, we survived this crisis because of the friend we once helped. That’s the only reason, understand?”

Lin Wanqin nodded. She wanted to say more but stopped upon seeing Ye Anyun return.

Only Lin Wanqin and her husband knew about the incident; they’d kept their son in the dark. And they intended to keep it that way.

After intentionally putting aside their encounter with Ye Leng’an, Ye Li’s family enjoyed their meal in peace.

However, their tranquility was disrupted when Ye Xiyuan suddenly barged in halfway through. It was Lin Wanqin who had disclosed the news to her, hoping to mend the relationship between father and daughter.

However, Ye Li had no intention of forgiving Ye Xiyuan. He promptly kicked her out of the room and warned Lin Wanqin sternly. If she repeated her actions, she’d be evicted from the family to join Ye Xiyuan.

After this stern warning, even if Lin Wanqin felt a pang of guilt, she didn’t dare help Ye Xiyuan again.

Locked outside the room, Ye Xiyuan’s face was clouded with gloom. She hadn’t anticipated her father’s callousness. It seemed he truly no longer considered her his daughter.

A true merchant, concerned only with profits. Just because she hadn’t sought Nangong Riming’s help during the family crisis, they now refused to acknowledge her.

But had they considered her precarious position beside Nangong Riming? Without a powerful family backing her, she’d have no place by his side were it not for her advantage of being reborn.

They, as her parents, couldn’t assist her but instead dragged her down.

And now, they were willing to sever ties over a trivial matter.

Had they not considered the significance of the Ye family? Holding onto Nangong Riming would elevate the Ye family even further, wouldn’t it?

Even if the Ye family hadn’t fully recovered, as long as she remained Nangong Riming’s fiancée, her father and the others wouldn’t suffer. Right?

Moreover, hadn’t the Ye family also recovered now? From this, it could be seen that the situation last time wasn’t as exaggerated as her father claimed!

What imminent danger? It was all hyperbole!

However, she knew her father held a grudge against her now. Dismissing it wouldn’t be easy.

But she firmly believed that once she married Nangong Riming, her father would eventually forgive her. After all, to someone like her father, benefits were paramount.

Of course, there was another crucial aspect. She needed her maternal family. Otherwise, she wouldn’t stand a chance once she married Nangong Riming.

Lost in thought, Ye Xiyuan glanced up and caught sight of a nearby private room’s door opening. A waiter entered, bearing dishes.

Through the gap, she saw the diners inside. They were none other than Ye Leng’an and Huangfu Ruiling.

At that moment, Ye Leng’an seemed troubled, while Huangfu Ruiling appeared to be comforting her, even feeding her directly.
