Chapter 775: The Last Threat

Seeing that Ye Li and Lin Wanqin hadn’t left, Ye Leng’an didn’t urge them. She wanted to see what tricks the two of them had up their sleeves.
“This is the last time,” Ye Li looked at Ye Leng’an and pleaded. “Just consider it the final time you’re helping us. I promise we won’t bother you again. Moreover, from now on, we’ll pretend we don’t know you. Even if we see you, we’ll avoid you.”
“Why do you have to keep bothering me?” Ye Leng’an shook her head, finding it amusing. “Do I seem like an easy target to you? Or do you think I’m foolish enough to give you a large sum of money with just a few words? Is my money just something I stumbled upon, so I deserve to fill your holes?”
“We don’t think like that. We’re truly desperate.” Lin Wanqin remained kneeling, her posture showing her desperation. “Other than you, there’s no one else who can help us now. So, please, help us one last time!”
Ye Leng’an remained unmoved. “Instead of begging me here, why don’t you go back and beg Ye Xiyuan? Isn’t that a better option? She’s Nangong Riming’s fiancée now. Nangong Riming is from the main branch of the Nangong family. He can definitely help you.”
This was something she couldn’t understand. Even if Sun Wan’er was pregnant and Nangong Riming had lost his influence, he would still be influential. If Nangong Riming had been willing to help, it wouldn’t haven been difficult for the Ye family to survive this crisis.
As soon as she said this, both Ye Li and Lin Wanqin looked embarrassed. They remained silent, unable to answer Ye Leng’an’s question.
How could they not have considered what Ye Leng’an had said? In fact, they had already approached Ye Xiyuan from the beginning. However, what they never expected was Ye Xiyuan’s evasiveness and eventual rejection.
When they heard Ye Xiyuan’s rejection, they could hardly believe it. But that was the reality. Even if they were unwilling to admit it, their own daughter was ungrateful.
“Leng’an, please help us one last time.” Lin Wanqin’s tone was pleading. “You used to consider us as your parents. Consider this as ending our relationship and helping us for the last time.”
If it weren’t for his pride, Ye Li would have knelt down as well. However, he still had his dignity as a man. Even though he was asking for help, he wasn’t willing to completely lose face.
“Why are you wasting time here?” Ye Leng’an looked at them coldly. “There’s no point in discussing feelings between us after everything that’s happened. The emotional plea won’t work on me, and I’m not interested in the benefits you mentioned. Do you really think continuing to waste time here is productive? You might as well go back and think of a solution. Otherwise, you could just declare bankruptcy. Maybe you’ll salvage something in the end.”
This was sincere advice. Whether they listened or not was up to them.
Seeing Ye Leng’an’s cold and heartless demeanor, Ye Li couldn’t help but feel resentful. “After all we’ve said, you still refuse to help, right?”
“Yes.” Ye Leng’an nodded. “I thought I made myself clear. Do you have trouble understanding my words?”
“You…” Ye Li was furious. “So, you’ve been playing with us from the beginning just to see us embarrassed, right?”
“Ye Leng’an, how can you be so heartless!” Lin Wanqin, seeing Ye Leng’an’s unwillingness to help, stood up and pointed directly at Ye Leng’an, scolding her. “I treated you so well, but just because of some minor incidents later on, you nullified all the goodwill we had. How can you be so cruel?”
“Retract your finger.” Ye Leng’an’s demeanor shifted from nonchalant to serious. “I hate it when people point fingers at me. If you don’t want your hand anymore, I can help you remove it.”
“How dare you!”
Although she said so, Lin Wanqin’s tone lacked confidence. Especially when she saw Ye Leng’an’s cold gaze, she couldn’t help but shiver. So, she withdrew her hand.
But in that moment, she felt like she lost face. However, she didn’t dare to challenge Ye Leng’an’s limits again.
“The fact that I let you in today is solely due to our past relationship,” Ye Leng’an said coldly. “You have some nerve continuously challenging my boundaries. Do you think I’m easy to manipulate?”
As she spoke, Ye Leng’an dropped her carefree demeanor. She exuded authority, appearing more like an experienced leader than a teenager. In her presence, people didn’t dare to lift their heads casually.
Under such pressure, Ye Li couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed. He wanted to say something, but nothing came out when he opened his mouth.
Lin Wanqin felt that even breathing was difficult under Ye Leng’an’s cold gaze.
Ye Leng’an called out, “Sister Li, show them the door.”
Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s voice, Sister Li promptly entered. She spoke politely but firmly, “Please, both of you.”
This blatant dismissal made Ye Li and Lin Wanqin’s expressions sour.
Before leaving, Ye Li glared at Ye Leng’an. “Since you’re heartless, don’t blame me for being ruthless. You’ll regret your actions today, Ye Leng’an.”
Facing Ye Li’s threat, Ye Leng’an sneered. “Alright! I’ll wait and see how you’ll make me regret it. But let me remind you, know your place. Otherwise, you’ll end up worse off.”
With a snort, Ye Li left with Lin Wanqin.
