Chapter 666: Sit Down and Talk

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation   Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

It felt like watching a comedy, and Ye Lengan expressionlessly curled her lips before intending to leave. However, just as she took a few steps, she was intercepted by the approaching Yuan Silei.

Observing Yuan Silei in front of her, Ye Lengan, amidst her impatience, couldn’t help but feel a heightened sense of confusion. She genuinely didn’t understand – why would Yuan Silei persistently cling to her like this just for the sake of reminiscing?

“Lengan, let’s have a few words!” Yuan Silei’s tone carried a trace of plea. “Just a brief conversation; it won’t take up much of your time.”

Ye Leng’an’s skepticism deepened as she observed the situation. Yuan Silei’s motive for seeking her company at this moment surely extended beyond simple reminiscing. However, she doubted there was anything substantial to discuss between them.

“Yuan Silei,” Ye Lengan addressed her directly. “I’ve emphasized this many times before. Our connection ruptured the moment you befriended Ye Xiyuan. The relationship we have now is hardly better than that of strangers. So, I genuinely don’t understand why you’re seeking me out at this time.”

“Consider it for the sake of our past friendship!” Yuan Silei raised her head, looking at Ye Lengan. “Lengan, can we sit down and talk? I promise it’ll be the last time.’

Ye Lengan could tell something important was at play from Yuan Silei’s demeanor. Despite her initial reluctance, Ye Lengan eventually agreed, reminded of Yuan Silei’s sincere care during her initial days after rebirth.

Outside the school, in a café…

Taking in the familiar surroundings of the cafe, Ye Lengan couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia. It seemed like she often engaged in discussions here, both with Ouyang Xuyan and now Yuan Silei.

Considering the present circumstances, however, attending her classes on time today seemed unlikely. She wondered if the principal would be furious upon learning about her tardiness on the first day back from leave.

Nevertheless, even if he were angry, it shouldn’t matter. After all, she had gifted the principal a bottle of body-nourishing pills. Even if he were furious, the impact on his health would be minimal.

Reflecting on this, Ye Lengan felt she was quite considerate of the principal. She was, indeed, a good student!

In contrast to Ye Leng’an’s casual demeanor, Yuan Silei sat upright on the opposite side. One hand rested on the table, and the other stirred the coffee with a spoon. She raised her head, looking at Ye Lengan with a hesitant expression.

It was evident she was in a state of inner conflict.

Remaining nonchalant and composed, Ye Lengan didn’t press Yuan Silei to speak. Instead, she relaxed in her chair.

Initially intending for Ye Lengan to initiate the conversation, Yuan Silei couldn’t resist breaking the silence. “Lengan, it’s been a while since we sat down and talked like this. I don’t know when things changed between us.

Despite being childhood friends with a strong bond, we’ve become strangers.”

Even at this point, she couldn’t fathom why Ye Lengan reacted so strongly. After all, she was merely befriending Ye Xiyuan, and there shouldn’t be any conflict with their friendship, right?

Moreover, her initial intention of befriending Ye Xiyuan was for Ye Leng’an’s well-being. She believed that after leaving the Ye family, Ye Leng’an would struggle alone. Thus, she hoped Ye Lengan would return to the Ye family.

However, in Ye Leng’an’s eyes, all of this seemed like a betrayal, leading to their estrangement.

“Yuan Silei, if you want to reminisce here, forgive me for not accompanying you.” Ye Lengan raised her head, gazing at Yuan Silei with a wry smile. “I’ve said it before – there’s no friendship between us. Since you chose Ye Xiyuan, you should know we can’t be friends.”

“Lengan, 1 genuinely don’t understand. Why do you hold such strong opinions about Xiyuan?” Yuan Silei expressed her confusion. “She clearly hasn’t harmed you, and for all these years, you’ve held her position!”

“You don’t know the details between me and Ye Xiyuan, so don’t jump to conclusions,” Ye Lengan said coldly. “Moreover, I’ve never believed I was at fault in the switching incident back then.”

Observing Ye Leng’an’s indifference, Yuan Silei, originally eager to say more, chose to remain silent.

“If you have something to say, just say it directly.” Ye Lengan addressed Yuan Silei, who seemed hesitant to speak. “This opportunity to sit down and talk won’t come again. So, if you have nothing more to say, I’ll leave. Let’s not waste everyone’s time here.”

She didn’t want to skip class just to have a staring contest with Yuan Silei.

Upon hearing Ye Leng’an’s intention to leave again, Yuan Silei became anxious. “Wait, Lengan, I need to ask you for something.”

At this statement, a flicker of surprise crossed Ye Lengan’s eyes, followed by a moment of understanding.

Originally, she felt that Yuan Silei’s attitude today was somewhat peculiar. So, it turned out she had a request or favor to ask for! However, she was unsure about the nature of the matter, prompting Yuan Silei to approach her for help.

Perhaps, now that the conversation had started, it wasn’t as difficult as Yuan

Silei had anticipated. After taking a deep breath, Yuan Silei continued, “Lengan, I’m truly out of options. My family’s company is facing some issues, and apart from you, no one else can help. So, I have no choice but to seek your assistance.”

She genuinely didn’t want to verbalize this matter. However, it was apparent that Ye Lengan had run out of patience. She wasn’t sure if there would be another chance for a face-to-face conversation in the future. So, despite the embarrassment, she had to speak up.

Moreover, what she said was true – only Ye Lengan could help her now.

After hearing Yuan Silei’s plea, a shadow crossed Ye Leng’an’s eyes. “Yuan Silei, I’m still a student, and I’ve been expelled from the Ye family.. What do you think 1 can do to help your company now?”
