Chapter 716: Barging In

After hearing Ye Hongxuan’s words, Lian Mengzhu couldn’t contain her tears any longer, and they began to flow uncontrollably. “That’s my daughter, the one I bore for ten months, and now I can’t even attend her engagement as her mother.”

The realization of this fact unleashed a torrent of sorrow within her, intensifying her resentment towards Lian Zixin. It was all Lian Zixin’s doing.

The sister she had always cherished had turned her own biological daughter into a stranger. The inability to even recognize her now fueled her deep-seated anger.

Observing Lian Mengzhu’s grief, Ye Hongxuan also felt uneasy. Despite that, he tried to console her. “Don’t dwell on it too much. Pretend you know nothing. Let the past remain in the past.”

Though challenging, that seemed to be their only recourse. In addition to paternal opposition, there was also resistance from Ye Leng’an, who showed no inclination to acknowledge their relationship.

Lian Mengzhu, hearing Ye Hongxuan’s words, became even more despondent. Her tears seemed uncontainable.

Witnessing Lian Mengzhu’s sorrow, Ye Hongxuan couldn’t bear it. Yet, he was at a loss on how to continue comforting her and could only be there for her in silence.

At that moment, a servant cautiously entered, glancing at Ye Hongxuan and Lian Mengzhu. Uncertain whether to speak, she hesitated.

Clearly unprepared for this situation, she speculated whether the Master and Madam had quarreled, but the scene before her suggested otherwise.

“What’s the matter?” Ye Hongxuan urged the servant to speak.

“Master, Madam,” the servant hesitated before speaking, “Mrs. Yan is here and seems anxious to see Madam.”

Lian Mengzhu’s hatred flared up at the mention of Lian Zixin’s name. “She dares to show her face.” She seethed. “If it weren’t for her, Leng’an…”

“Mengzhu!” Ye Hongxuan interjected, stopping her. He shook his head gently and advised, “Say no more.”

This matter had been silenced by an order from his father, and the truth of Ye Wanwan’s switch had not leaked out. Few within the Ye family were aware of it, and they couldn’t risk it becoming public.

Heeding Ye Hongxuan’s warning, Lian Mengzhu snapped out of her anger. Still, her face expressed lingering resentment. “Let her go; I don’t want to see her.”

With Lian Mengzhu’s response, the servant promptly retreated.

However, she couldn’t shake her perplexity. Mrs. Yan had always treated her sister well, even bringing gifts every visit. But now, Madam claimed not to want to see her. It was an inexplicable turn of events.

As a mere servant, she decided against overthinking. It was better to avoid knowing more than she should to prevent jeopardizing her job.

“If you don’t want to see her, then don’t.” Ye Hongxuan reached out to hold Lian Mengzhu’s hand, offering, “Don’t let these people affect your mood.”

Nodding in acknowledgment of her husband’s concern, Lian Mengzhu complied.

Suddenly, a commotion reached them, announcing the arrival of Lian Zixin.

“Sister, sister!” Lian Zixin barged in, calling out.

The servants and disciples refrained from stopping her; after all, she was Madam’s sister. Though Madam currently refused to see Lian Zixin, a reconciliation was unpredictable.

Capitalizing on this, Lian Zixin boldly entered.

Upon her entrance, she noticed Lian Mengzhu and hurried over, complaining, “Sister, look at these servants. They dared to stop me from seeing you. You must punish them.”

The servants and disciples, standing respectfully, held their silence.

Lian Mengzhu’s face contorted in displeasure. She scolded them, “Have you all not eaten? If you can’t stop one person, what use will you be in the future?”

Her words stunned everyone present, especially Lian Zixin. She could hardly believe such words came from her sister’s mouth.

Feeling unjust, the servants and disciples struggled to find words in their defense.

“Mengzhu, let it go.” Ye Hongxuan looked at Lian Mengzhu and suggested, “Clarify things with her. Otherwise, such incidents will continue.”

After his advice, he gestured for everyone else to leave. He then nodded at Lian Mengzhu and exited the courtyard, leaving the space to the sisters.

Soon, only Lian Mengzhu and Lian Zixin remained in the courtyard.

Once a bit arrogant, Lian Zixin now dared not even breathe loudly. She had come to seek answers but hadn’t expected Lian Mengzhu to refuse to see her.

Lately, she felt that her life was taking a turn for the worse. First, there were issues in various aspects of the Yan family’s business, keeping Yan Kai busy and overwhelmed every day.

Then, unexpectedly, Chenlang and Xiaolei returned to the Yan family these past few days, only to be sent back by the Ye family.

Perplexed by what was happening at home, she couldn’t figure it out despite much contemplation. That was why she decided to visit today, hoping to get an explanation from Lian Mengzhu.

However, what she didn’t anticipate was Lian Mengzhu’s refusal to even see her.

Feeling a sense of panic, Lian Zixin struggled to find words.

“Lian Zixin, don’t come here again.” When Lian Mengzhu looked at her sister, all warmth had vanished, replaced by cold indifference. “I don’t want to see you anymore.”

“Sister, did I do something wrong to make you angry? Please forgive me just this once! I promise I won’t do it again.”

Lian Zixin’s eyes betrayed her panic. She extended her hand, attempting to grab Lian Mengzhu’s sleeve, recalling that this gesture had always led to forgiveness in the past.

However, to her surprise, Lian Mengzhu didn’t even spare her a glance, simply waving her hand to push her away.
