Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback Chapter 1013: Panic

Chapter 1013: Panic

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Bloodline, it’s always about bloodline.” Hearing Ye Hongxuan’s words, Ye Leng’an sneered. “How n.o.ble your Ye family is! Always emphasizing bloodline, yet engaged in such despicable acts. And now you want to cover it up. Who do you think you are to say such shameless things?”

Her biting words made Ye Hongxuan’s face flush with anger, but he persisted, “Ye Leng’an, you…”

Before he could finish, Ye Leng’an interrupted, “Master Ye, there’s no need to try and brainwash me here. Don’t attempt to use morals to manipulate me because I have none.”

With that, Ye Leng’an grabbed Huangfu Ruiling and left.

Left behind, Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu wore uneasy expressions. Especially Ye Hongxuan, who was deeply worried. He could already foresee the storm the Ye family would face once this matter came to light.

Regaining composure, Ye Hongxuan didn’t waste time on Lian Mengzhu, who stood dazed. He hurried to the study, ordering servants to gather all the elders for a discussion.

As family head, he couldn’t decide this alone. Given the gravity of the situation, gathering the elders to minimize the fallout was necessary.

Once Lian Mengzhu snapped out of it, she found her husband gone. Standing alone in the courtyard, a chill ran down her spine as the wind blew.

Her mind was in turmoil. Ye Leng’an’s words echoed incessantly, making her doubt everything she’d done and believed in.

Lost in thought, Lian Mengzhu entered Ye Wanwan’s room. Seeing her daughter lying in bed, she felt a mix of emotions, devoid of her usual warmth.

Ye Wanwan was her raised daughter, but also Lian Zixin’s biological child. Had she been foolishly raising Wanwan while Lian Zixin laughed at her? Were people enjoying the drama as she repeatedly hurt her own daughter for Ye Wanwan’s sake?

These thoughts erased any trace of pity from her gaze as she looked at Ye Wanwan.

“Mother, why are you here?” Ye Wanwan looked at Lian Mengzhu, puzzled. “Did something happen?”

Sensing her mother’s strange gaze, Ye Wanwan felt uneasy, as if something beyond her control had happened.

Ye Wanwan’s voice snapped Lian Mengzhu back to reality. She slowly approached Ye Wanwan and asked, “Wanwan, how are you feeling now?”

“I still feel awful all over,” Ye Wanwan replied, her tone tinged with resentment. “Mother, what about Father? Didn’t he say he’d help me? What’s the situation now?”

Though Lian Mengzhu’s change made her uneasy, Ye Wanwan’s top concern was still her own health. Even though she knew she should show weakness to gain Lian Mengzhu’s sympathy, she couldn’t help but urge.

After hearing Ye Wanwan’s words, Lian Mengzhu looked conflicted. She sighed and sat down on the chair by the bed. “Your father knows what to do about this. You don’t need to worry too much.”

Ye Wanwan wanted to say more, but seeing Lian Mengzhu’s troubled expression, she dared not press further, fearing she’d provoke resentment.

After a while, she cautiously asked, “Mother, is something happening outside? It feels chaotic today.”

This wasn’t just a feeling; it was real.

She had wanted to go out, but her body wouldn’t allow it. She couldn’t even get out of bed, let alone go outside.

Lian Mengzhu paused, then shook her head. “Nothing. You don’t need to worry. You just need to rest.”

Upon hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words, Ye Wanwan’s eyes darkened, but she nodded obediently. “I know it, Mother.”

Lian Mengzhu nodded, then asked, “Wanwan, can I ask you something? If you prefer not to answer, it’s okay.”

Hearing this, Ye Wanwan felt a twinge of unease but nodded. “Mother, go ahead.”

Lian Mengzhu looked at Ye Wanwan and asked, “Wanwan, considering everything with Ye Leng’an, have you ever considered meeting your biological parents, especially your birth mother?”

Suddenly hearing this, Ye Wanwan froze, her face paling. She reached out, grabbing Lian Mengzhu’s sleeve urgently. “Mother, what do you mean? Don’t you want me anymore?”

She didn’t understand why her mother brought it up now, but it left her deeply unsettled. Without any cultivation left, she felt practically useless. Her body couldn’t even match that of an average person.

If she wanted to live, she had to remain in the Ye family. Only they possessed the precious medicinal herbs that could aid her. Even if she wanted to restore her cultivation, only they had the means to help.

If she left, she’d lose everything, even her life. So no matter what, she couldn’t leave.

Thus, upon hearing Lian Mengzhu’s question, she felt a surge of panic, fearing she’d be kicked out.
