“Don’t worry about where I heard it. Just answer me.” Ye Li’s eyes settled on Ye Xiyuan. His sharp gaze seemed to be able to see through her. “Be honest, or you won’t be able to come to a good end, and you’ll get hurt.”
Ye Xiyuan was a little flustered, but she still pretended to be calm on the surface. She didn’t know if her father had heard something from somewhere, but she knew that she absolutely couldn’t ruin her image in her parents ‘hearts. Moreover, she had done it very discreetly at that time and would not be found out.
“I didn’t do anything.” Ye Xiyuan said calmly, “Zhao Yanran and Ye Leng’an have an old grudge. I don’t want to get involved in their matters.”
“Xiyuan, you shouldn’t hide anything at this time.” Lin Wanqin held Ye Xiyuan’s hand. “The police have already found out. Moreover, you might be summoned in the next two days.”
“What?” Ye Xiyuan was shocked, and at the same time, she felt a little guilty. However, she immediately came back to her senses and knew that she had overreacted, so she tried to compose herself quickly. “Dad, Mom, where did you get this news from? Maybe the police made a mistake!”
Although she said so, she couldn’t stop feeling panicked. She didn’t know what went wrong and was found out. If that was really the case, what should she do next? Without the help of the System, she did not know if she could get through the crisis.
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Right now, she began to think about what she should do if she was really found out.
“What exactly did you do? What role did you play in this? Tell me everything in detail now.” After all, Ye Li was an old fox who was successful in the business world for many years. Ye Xiyuan’s guilt could not be hidden from him. “If you dare to hide anything, then don’t blame us for not being able to help you.”
Initially, he felt like trying his luck, but now that he saw Ye Xiyuan’s expression, he understood everything.
“I…” Ye Xiyuan didn’t know what to say for a moment when glancing at Ye Li who had a stern face.
“Xiyuan, just be honest!” Compared to Ye Li’s seriousness, Lin Wanqin was much gentler. At this moment, her face was full of worry. “You have to know that this is no longer a skirmish in school. Ye Leng’an has already made a big deal out of it, and you must know what happened to Zhao Yanran recently! Even the Zhao family can’t resolve this matter now. If you don’t want to tell us, then we can’t help you as your parents.”
As Lin Wanqin persuaded patiently, Ye Xiyuan’s eyes were filled with tears. Her eyes moistened as if she was about to cry at any moment. It made her parents’ hearts ache. “Dad, Mom, I didn’t do it on purpose. Actually, I’ve been worried all this time that it’ll be found out. But I really didn’t do it on purpose. Besides, I didn’t expect things to turn out like this.”
“So, the rumors really have something to do with you, right?” Ye Li’s face instantly darkened. “Can’t you just focus on your studies? Why did you provoke Ye Leng’an?”
“I didn’t.” Ye Xiyuan quickly shook her head. “Besides, I wasn’t the one who spread the rumors. I only told Gumeng something when we were chatting. I
didn’t expect to cause a big fuss in the end. Dad, Mom, I really didn’t mean to slander my sister.”
“You just said something about her?” Ye Li’s tone carried a trace of suspicion.
“But why did Ye Leng’an say that you were the culprit behind the rumors?
Moreover, the police have already found out everything.”
“Dad, something must have gone wrong.” Ye Xiyuan looked aggrieved and defended herself, “I only complained a little to Gumeng, saying that I didn’t know where my sister’s money came from. I’ve never slandered her. However, I didn’t expect that there were so many rumors.”
Under Ye Li’s penetrating stare, Ye Xiyuan felt very guilty. However, since things had come to this point, she had no way out. She could only insist that she did not do it on purpose.
At the end of the dav. she was still afraid. She didn’t know how much the Dolice had found out, but she feared that she would be taken to court like Zhao
Yanran.
Actually, it was good that her parents knew about this. At least, after the matter was exposed, they would definitely think of a way to protect their daughter.
“Xiyuan, why are you so stupid?” Lin Wanqin looked at Ye Xiyuan who looked aggrieved. Though her heart ached, she still disagreed. “You can’t say stuff like that casually. Look, Ye Leng’an is going to hold the related parties accountable now, and you’re also involved. Even if Gumeng is your good friend, there are some things you shouldn’t say to her.”
“Mom, what should I do now?” Ye Xiyuan couldn’t help but show a hint of panic on her face. She tugged at Lin Wanqin’s sleeve, looking especially nervous. “The police really thought that I was the culprit behind the rumors. Will they detain me? Will Ye Leng’an take me to court then?”
“Now you are scared?” Ye Li looked at Ye Xiyuan with disappointment. “Can’t you think before you speak?”
“Dad, I really didn’t do it on purpose.” Tears kept running down Ye Xiyuan’s cheeks when she was scolded by Ye Li. “I also didn’t expect it to turn out like this after I said something to Gumeng!”
“So Qian Gumeng must be the one who spread the rumors.” Lin Wanqin looked at Ye Li and tried to defend Ye Xiyuan, “Because Qian Gumeng is her good friend, so she spoke to Gumeng in an offhand manner.”
“It doesn’t matter if the rumors were spread by Qian Gumeng or not.” Ye Li looked a little impatient. “What’s important now is that Xiyuan was indeed the one who said those things first. Moreover, the police have already found evidence.”
“Mom, what should I do now?” Ye Xiyuan cried her eyes out. “Am I going to be sued by Ye Leng’an too? If Brother Nangong knew what I had done, he will definitely hate me.”
“Alright, stop crying.” There was a gleam in Ye Li’s eyes before he said, “I’ll settle this matter. You just need to be careful when you speak in the future.
Don’t get caught..”
