Full-Level Rich Daughter Makes a Strong Comeback

Chapter 929: Indignation

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

In less than fifteen minutes, Ye Li rushed back home. Returning from the Ye Group to the Ye family usually took at least half an hour. However, Ye Li managed to make it back to the Ye family in about half the time, indicating the urgency of his return.

Even before arriving home, he knew that Ye Leng’an’s visit today was not a friendly one. Nevertheless, he had to rush back. With the Ye Group having just weathered a crisis, they couldn’t afford another upheaval.

Upon arriving home, he found Ye Leng’an sitting casually on the living room sofa, engrossed in her phone. Her relaxed demeanor suggested she was completely at ease as if she were in her own home. Meanwhile, his wife, Lin Wanqin, sat on another sofa, her gaze fixed on Ye Leng’an, ready to react swiftly to any untoward actions.

Most people would feel uneasy under such scrutiny, but Ye Leng’an remained unfazed.

Upon seeing Ye Li’s hurried return, Ye Leng’an put down her phone and looked up, a teasing smile playing on her lips. “Seems like Mr. Ye couldn’t wait to rush back!”

Ye Li’s disheveled appearance and heavy breathing indicated his urgency.

Better to be quick. The more anxious they were, the sooner she could get the information she wanted.

“Ye Leng’an, what brings you to my house?” Ye Li didn’t sit down but towered over Ye Leng’an. “Let me remind you, this is my home, and I can call the police if necessary.”

“Suit yourself,” Ye Leng’an responded nonchalantly, raising her hand. “But after you call the police, you’ll probably have to return to the Ye Group to handle the mess.”

“You…” Ye Li wasn’t naive. He could hear the thinly veiled threat. “What exactly do you want, Ye Leng’an?”

If it were just Ye Leng’an alone, Ye Li wouldn’t have paid her any mind. But now, Ye Leng’an had climbed the social ladder. Behind her loomed the Huangfu family. Even at its peak, the Ye Group was merely insignificant compared to the behemoth Huangye Group.

Ye Li had only intended to scare Ye Leng’an by threatening to call the police. He didn’t expect to be outmaneuvered.

“In fact, you don’t have to be so defensive. I just want to ask a few questions,” Ye Leng’an said with a faint smile, her words laced with meaning. “Of course, if you’re feeling guilty seeing me, it wouldn’t be surprising.”

“What nonsense!” Lin Wanqin’s reaction was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. “What have we done? It’s you, the ungrateful one. We’ve raised you for so many years in vain.”

“You seem to have a good memory of those old matters,” Ye Leng’an retorted sarcastically. “But how come you conveniently forget? You once demanded five million from me as child support over the years! And in return for your grace of upbringing, I made you an unconditional request. Oh, my memory is quite good. You used that condition on Ye Xiyuan in the end, didn’t you?”

These words stripped away the last shred of dignity. Both Ye Li and Lin Wanqin’s faces turned pale with embarrassment and anger.

Ye Li shot Lin Wanqin a harsh glance. “If you don’t have anything useful to say, stay quiet.”

Suddenly reprimanded by her husband, Lin Wanqin looked especially aggrieved. But at this moment, she knew she had said too much and chose to remain silent.

Ye Li wiped his face and turned to Ye Leng’an with a defeated yet wary expression. “What do you want to ask? Hurry up and ask, then leave. You’re not welcome here.”

He had a feeling that Ye Leng’an hadn’t come with good intentions. But even knowing that, he had no other choice.

“It’s actually not a difficult question to answer,” Ye Leng’an said with a blink and a smile. “I’m just curious – how did the Ye family manage to bounce back? I recall you were on the brink of collapse before.”

Ye Li’s heart skipped a beat at Ye Leng’an’s sudden question. But he forced himself to stay calm. “What does this have to do with you? Ye Leng’an, just because you refused to help doesn’t mean no one else would.”

“Then I’m curious who did help you,” Ye Leng’an nodded, continuing, “After all, a hundred million isn’t a small sum. Who’s so generous to transfer such a large amount to you without any collateral? What kind of bond is it that prompts such a decision?”

Ye Li’s eyes narrowed, panic flashing through them before he regained his composure. “Ye Leng’an, this is none of your concern. Whether or not I need collateral for the money I borrowed is between me and someone else. I don’t owe you an explanation.”

Though he had some suspicions, hearing Ye Leng’an’s words shocked him. He hadn’t expected Ye Leng’an to find out about this.

Now he was even more puzzled. What did that person want with the item he’d requested? And how did Ye Leng’an find out?

And did Ye Leng’an know everything, or was she just bluffing here?

“If it’s just between you and someone else, then it’s none of my business,” Ye Leng’an said, a cold smile playing on her lips. “But now that I’m involved, I need to get some clear answers.”

“Don’t cause trouble here, Ye Leng’an.” Ye Li’s eyes flashed with an unknown light, his face filled with anger. “Back then, we begged you for help, but you refused. Now that you see we’ve found someone to help, are you trying to sabotage us? Even if you did give us five million, our ties were severed. But don’t forget, we’ve been your parents for over ten years. Don’t overstep your bounds.”

“Heh, I’m just asking questions. Why are you in such a hurry?” Ye Leng’an smiled, but her gaze was sharp. “Or is all your indignation just to hide your inner guilt?”
