Chapter 3

Asking Her to Stay

What she said seemed to detonate a bomb, and everyone else was a little dumbfounded.

“Why?” Lin Wanqin stood up immediately and walked directly to Ye Leng’an. “Leng’an, why do you want to leave? Even if Xiyuan is back, you don’t have to go! In my heart, you will always be my daughter.”

That was exactly what Lin Wanqin thought. Although Xiyuan was her real daughter, Leng’an was also the daughter she had raised for more than ten years. She couldn’t bear letting Ye Leng’an leave.

When Ye Xiyuan heard this, a hint of gloominess flashed across her eyes. She raised her head again, but this time her face was full of sincerity. She walked to Ye Leng’an’s side. “That’s right! Sister, you don’t have to leave! I came back this time only because I wanted to be with my parents. I didn’t mean to replace you. If you’re unhappy, I will leave immediately.”

Ye Xiyuan’s voice was a little choked with sobs. She was at a loss as if she had done something wrong.

Seeing Ye Xiyuan’s expression, Lin Wanqin immediately forgot to ask Ye Leng’an to stay. She held Ye Xiyuan’s hand and said with heartache, “What nonsense are you saying!? This is our family, and this is your home. Where are you going? Mom had lost you for so many years, but luckily now you’re back. You are trying to cut my heart out if you still want to leave.”

Ye Li looked at Ye Leng’an with a hint of disapproval in his eyes. “Leng’an, even though Xiyuan is back, you’re still our daughter.”

He had mixed feelings about Ye Leng’an. He had doted on Ye Leng’an as his own daughter during all these years. Although there was a trace of utilitarian concerns in his love, he had never mistreated her.

When he found out that Ye Leng’an wasn’t his own daughter, he made a prompt decision and quickly started investigating this matter. After finding his biological daughter, he naturally would not let his own daughter wander outside, so he immediately brought her back. However, he didn’t intend to make Ye Leng’an leave.

“Dad and mom, I’ll always remember your loving kindness in bringing me up over these years.” Ye Leng’an smiled. “But since your biological daughter has returned, I should also return to my own family. Otherwise, it will be too unfair for my biological parents,”

It was a coincidence that Ye Xiyuan was raised in the other Ye family, by Ye Shen and Li Zhaohui, and Ye Leng’an, was raised by Ye Li and Lin Wanqin. Though these two surnames sounded the same, they were totally different. The family where Ye Xiyuan grew up was quite an ordinary one.

Lin Wanqin looked troubled. Indeed, she had never thought about the feelings of the other family. She just couldn’t bear to see Ye Leng’an, whom she had raised for more than ten years, leave. She had never thought about how the other Ye family would feel.

“Leng’an, you can stay. We won’t stop you from contacting your biological parents.” Ye Anyun said, “You can go back and see them anytime.”

Ye Xiyuan, who was standing at the side, gritted her teeth in hatred. Lin Wanqin and Ye Anyun’s attempts of asking Ye Leng’an to stay made her very dissatisfied.

It was the same in her previous life. Although she had returned to the Ye family, she could not beat Ye Leng’an in any aspect. Growing up in the wealthy Ye family, Ye Leng’an received the best education and was the best in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and studies.

Standing beside Ye Leng’an, she was like an ugly duckling. As long as she had a conflict with Ye Leng’an, everyone would stand by Ye Leng’an’s side. Compared to her, Ye Leng’an was like the young lady of the Ye family.

Whether it was her parents, brother, or the person she liked, they only had eyes for Ye Leng’an. In the end, even when she died, everyone just said that she deserved it.

However, since she was given a chance to start over, she would definitely not be as stupid as she was in her previous life.

This time, she would definitely trample Ye Leng’an under her feet. She wanted to take everything back, her parents, her brother, and her lover.

Most importantly, she had a very good helper this time.

Now, she was going to kick Ye Leng’an out of the Ye family. She wanted to see if Ye Leng’an could still be as proud as she was in her previous life after leaving the Ye family.

“Host, the system suggests that you should make Ye Leng’an stay. This will allow you to better absorb Ye Leng’an’s luck.”
