Chapter 717: Severing Ties
“Sister, what’s going on?” Lian Zixin’s face carried a look of grievance. “If I’ve truly done something wrong, just tell me straightforwardly. Don’t treat me like this!”
For some reason, she felt a sense of panic in her heart. Especially with Lian Mengzhu’s current attitude, it made her feel scared. In the past, regardless of her mistakes, Lian Mengzhu had never treated her this way. Could it be that the truth had been exposed?
Upon careful consideration, Lian Zixin found it unlikely. If the matter had truly come to light, the Ye family wouldn’t be so calm. Moreover, if there were any movements, Ye Wanwan should have found a way to send her a message as a reminder.
“Do you know what you’ve done? Do you really not know?” Lian Mengzhu stared at Lian Zixin, who was still pretending, with a cold smile. “I’ve indeed underestimated you. I never expected that all this time, you’ve harbored such hatred towards me!”
“Sister, what are you talking about?” Lian Zixin anxiously spoke. “How could I hate you? You’ve always been the best to me. I’ve always cherished that.”
“Then how did you repay me?” Lian Mengzhu couldn’t contain her emotions. Standing up, she unleashed her anger on Lian Zixin. “You replaced my daughter with your own, allowing her to enjoy everything in the Ye family, while my daughter was discarded to the mortal world. Do you want to ensure we can never recognize each other for a lifetime?”
After listening to Lian Mengzhu’s outburst, Lian Zixin was completely bewildered. Standing there, she felt a chill rising from her feet. Soon, she sensed as if she were immersed in ice-cold water in the dead of winter, her entire body freezing, unable to utter a word.
Observing Lian Zixin’s state, Lian Mengzhu showed no sign of mercy. She continued, “Lian Zixin, don’t call me sister anymore. I’m not your sister. Also, from now on, don’t come to the Ye family. I’ll make it clear – if you come again, don’t even think about crossing the doorstep.”
At this point, she had no emotional attachment to her sister. If anything, it was pure hatred. Particularly today, upon learning that Ye Leng’an was about to get engaged, she, as her biological mother, couldn’t even offer a few words of advice. She truly wished to eliminate Lian Zixin.
“No, I…” Lian Zixin was in a state of panic. She hurriedly tried to explain, but she didn’t know what to say.
“Lian Zixin, there’s no need to defend yourself here. I won’t believe anything you say anymore,” coldly stated Lian Mengzhu. “As for the Yan family, they’re being suppressed because of your mistake.”
Hearing such words, Lian Zixin understood everything. The Ye family must have known about the past events, leading to their suppression of the Yan family. Her two children, Chenlang and Xiaolei, being expelled from the Ye family was also the consequence of this revelation.
“Sister, I was wrong. I truly admit my mistake.” Lian Zixin immediately knelt down, crying and pleading with Lian Mengzhu. “I was confused back then, which led to such actions. Sister, please forgive me this time! I promise to spend the rest of my life making amends for this error.”
She knew she had to secure Lian Mengzhu’s forgiveness, or the Yan family would be in jeopardy. Not only that, but her children would have no future.
“Make amends?” Lian Mengzhu’s tone almost turned icy, as if she had heard a joke. “How will you make amends? I want your life now. Can you give it to me?”
After hearing Lian Mengzhu’s words, Lian Zixin didn’t know how to respond. Despite her claims of making amends, she had no idea how to do so. Moreover, giving her life to Lian Mengzhu was impossible.
Even ants fought for survival; she, too, valued her life greatly.
Seeing Lian Zixin’s demeanor, Lian Mengzhu understood everything.
“Lian Zixin, leave!” Lian Mengzhu looked at the kneeling Lian Zixin without a trace of softening. “From today onwards, you’re no longer my sister. Whether it’s you or the Yan family, it’s none of my concern.”
“Sister! I know I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong.” Lian Zixin cried bitterly. “I won’t complain no matter what you do to me. But the Yan family and my children don’t know anything. I beg you, spare them!”
Setting aside the Yan family, Chenlang and Xiaolei were still young. If they were continually suppressed by the Ye family, their lives would be ruined.
With things having reached this point, she was prepared to accept any punishment. However, she couldn’t let her children suffer.
Lian Mengzhu sat down again, looking at the kneeling Lian Zixin. Her eyes lacked the warmth from the past. Suddenly, she reached out and slapped Lian Zixin forcefully.
Lian Zixin was caught off guard by the sudden slap, almost unable to react in time. Feeling a burning pain on her cheek, her ears began to buzz.
Then, a cold voice sounded in her ear.
“If I spare your children, what about my daughter?” Lian Mengzhu said sinisterly. “You ruined my child, and now you’re asking me to forgive your children. Are you daydreaming?”
Lian Mengzhu’s merciless words shattered Lian Zixin’s last hope. Her whole body felt cold as she weakly sat on the ground. Her lips were pale, presenting the appearance of someone who had lost their soul.
However, she seemed to recall something and suddenly asked, “What about Wanwan? What are you going to do to her?”
If she had ended up like this, wouldn’t Wanwan be even more pitiful? Now that the Ye family knew about Wanwan’s identity, would Wanwan be expelled?
“Wanwan has nothing to do with you anymore.” Lian Mengzhu’s lips curled into a smile as she continued, “She’s already my daughter and will forever be my daughter.”
