Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback Chapter 972: Don't Push Yourself Too Much

Chapter 972: Don’t Push Yourself Too Much

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“Wanwan, are you okay?”

Just as Ye Wanwan was lost in her thoughts, without even knocking, Lian Mengzhu pushed the door open and walked in, her face showing concern.

Ye Wanwan snapped out of her reverie and looked at Lian Mengzhu. Her expression was now composed as if nothing had happened. She appeared no different from her usual self. “Mother, why are you here at this hour?”

Seeing Ye Wanwan’s calm demeanor, Lian Mengzhu’s initially tense expression relaxed. “It’s nothing. I just heard from the servant that you weren’t looking too well. I was worried you might be feeling unwell, so I came to check on you.”

“I’m fine,” Ye Wanwan said, offering a warm smile. “I’ve just been a bit tired from practicing recently, that’s all. I’ll be fine after resting for a bit.”

“Wanwan, you don’t need to push yourself so hard,” Lian Mengzhu said as she sat beside Ye Wanwan, reaching out to stroke her hair. “You’re already quite strong. Among your peers, you’re already outstanding.”

“Mother, don’t worry. It’s just because the Elite Compet.i.tion is approaching that I’ve been working harder lately,” Ye Wanwan replied, taking hold of Lian Mengzhu’s arm. “And besides, Mother, don’t you want to see me achieve a good rank in the compet.i.tion?”

“I just want you to be happy.” Lian Mengzhu smiled, shaking her head. “Wanwan, I know you’re ambitious. But you’re my daughter. I don’t want you to push yourself too much.”

Upon hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words, Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but feel moved. However, as if suddenly remembering something, she spoke up. “Mother, Ye Leng’an, she’s come to the Hidden World.”

She didn’t know why she brought up Ye Leng’an at this moment, but seeing her mother’s concern, she couldn’t help but wonder who was more important in her mother’s heart, herself or Ye Leng’an.

She was eager to know the answer, but at the same time, she feared it.

Surprised by Ye Wanwan’s mention of Ye Leng’an, Lian Mengzhu hesitated for a moment. Her smile faltered. “Why bring her up all of a sudden?”

In fact, ever since their unpleasant parting at the banquet, she would often think of Ye Leng’an. After all, she was her biological daughter. However, deep down, she knew that when she chose Ye Wanwan, Ye Leng’an, her biological daughter, became irrelevant.

So now, she had to take care of Wanwan. Wanwan was her daughter now and would always be her daughter. As for Ye Leng’an, she had to leave it to fate.

Seeing the uncertain expression on Lian Mengzhu’s face, Ye Wanwan’s eyes darkened. “It’s nothing. I just remembered it suddenly. Mother, if you want to see Ye Leng’an, go to the Huangfu family. I won’t be jealous.”

It seemed that Ye Leng’an was still important to her mother. Indeed, in this family, she could only rely on herself.

With this thought in mind, determination flashed in Ye Wanwan’s eyes.

Unaware of Ye Wanwan’s thoughts, Lian Mengzhu smiled and shook her head. “Wanwan, let’s not mention Ye Leng’an at home anymore. She has nothing to do with our family now. If your grandfather finds out, he won’t be pleased.”

Ye Wanwan nodded obediently. “Alright, Mother, I understand. But you don’t need to avoid the topic too much around me. I know, I was foolish in the past. I was afraid you would be taken away by her, so I did many wrong things. But I’ve realized now, that blood ties cannot be changed. I…”

“Wanwan, let’s not dwell on these things,” Lian Mengzhu interrupted Ye Wanwan. “Just remember, you are the only daughter of your father and me. I raised you, so you will always be my daughter.”

Just as she and her husband had discussed before, once a choice was made, there was no turning back.

Although both were their daughters, it was clear that Ye Wanwan and Ye Leng’an could not coexist peacefully, so they had to make a choice. Since they had chosen Ye Wanwan, there was no chance for reconciliation with Ye Leng’an. If they continued to waver, the two children would be the ones to suffer. That was why Ye Wanwan had done so many things against Ye Leng’an before.

Hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words, Ye Wanwan struggled internally, but eventually, she calmed down.

Ye Leng’an had expected it would at least take three days for the Zhongyu family to consider, but unexpectedly, they sent someone to deliver the Frost Jade Toad the next day.

Ye Leng’an kept her promise and sent the antidote and five Nine-Cycle Soul-Returning Pills back with the messenger.

This time, Master Zhongyu didn’t come in person, only a disciple was sent. She didn’t care. She only cared about the result. As for the att.i.tude of the Zhongyu family, she didn’t care at all. As long as she could get what she wanted.

At this moment, Ye Leng’an sat on a stone bench, looking at the crystal-clear Frost Jade Toad in the box on the stone table, she couldn’t help but admire it.

Although the Frost Jade Toad belonged to the toad family, it was completely different from ordinary ones. Its entire body resembled an ice cube, sparkling and translucent. It looked more like a finely crafted piece of art, making people marvel at the wonders of its creator.

If it weren’t for the fact that the Frost Jade Toad’s abdomen moved from time to time, people might have mistaken it for a real piece of art!

However, what Ye Leng’an valued the most wasn’t its beauty, but its toxicity.

It was said that the Frost Jade Toad had been raised on various poisons since it was young. One could tell how poisonous it was!

“Have you seen enough?” Huangfu Ruiling’s tone carried a hint of annoyance as he spoke up. “You’ve been staring at this little thing for over fifteen minutes. Is it really that fascinating?”

Listening to his jealous words, Ye Leng’an couldn’t help but chuckle. “Ling, it’s just a small creature. Are you jealous of it?”
