Chapter 666: Sit Down and Talk
Translator: Dragon Boat TranslationĀ Ā 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, couldnāt help but feel a heightened sense of confusion. She genuinely didnāt understand ā why would Yuan Silei persistently cling to her like this just for the sake of reminiscing?
āLengan, letās have a few words!ā Yuan Sileiās tone carried a trace of plea. āJust a brief conversation; it wonāt take up much of your time.ā
Ye Lengāanās skepticism deepened as she observed the situation. Yuan Sileiās motive for seeking her company at this moment surely extended beyond simple reminiscing. However, she doubted there was anything substantial to discuss between them.
āYuan Silei,ā Ye Lengan addressed her directly. āIāve 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 donāt understand why youāre seeking me out at this time.ā
āConsider it for the sake of our past friendship!ā Yuan Silei raised her head, looking at Ye Lengan. āLengan, can we sit down and talk? I promise itāll be the last time.ā
Ye Lengan could tell something important was at play from Yuan Sileiās demeanor. Despite her initial reluctance, Ye Lengan eventually agreed, reminded of Yuan Sileiās sincere care during her initial days after rebirth.
Outside the school, in a cafĆ©ā¦
Taking in the familiar surroundings of the cafe, Ye Lengan couldnāt 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 shouldnāt 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 Lengāanās 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 didnāt press Yuan Silei to speak. Instead, she relaxed in her chair.
Initially intending for Ye Lengan to initiate the conversation, Yuan Silei couldnāt resist breaking the silence. āLengan, itās been a while since we sat down and talked like this. I donāt know when things changed between us.
Despite being childhood friends with a strong bond, weāve become strangers.ā
Even at this point, she couldnāt fathom why Ye Lengan reacted so strongly. After all, she was merely befriending Ye Xiyuan, and there shouldnāt be any conflict with their friendship, right?
Moreover, her initial intention of befriending Ye Xiyuan was for Ye Lengāanās well-being. She believed that after leaving the Ye family, Ye Lengāan would struggle alone. Thus, she hoped Ye Lengan would return to the Ye family.
However, in Ye Lengāanās eyes, all of this seemed like a betrayal, leading to their estrangement.
āYuan Silei, if you want to reminisce here, forgive me for not accompanying you.ā Ye Lengan raised her head, gazing at Yuan Silei with a wry smile. āIāve said it before ā thereās no friendship between us. Since you chose Ye Xiyuan, you should know we canāt be friends.ā
āLengan, 1 genuinely donāt understand. Why do you hold such strong opinions about Xiyuan?ā Yuan Silei expressed her confusion. āShe clearly hasnāt harmed you, and for all these years, youāve held her position!ā
āYou donāt know the details between me and Ye Xiyuan, so donāt jump to conclusions,ā Ye Lengan said coldly. āMoreover, Iāve never believed I was at fault in the switching incident back then.ā
Observing Ye Lengāanās indifference, Yuan Silei, originally eager to say more, chose to remain silent.
āIf you have something to say, just say it directly.ā Ye Lengan addressed Yuan Silei, who seemed hesitant to speak. āThis opportunity to sit down and talk wonāt come again. So, if you have nothing more to say, Iāll leave. Letās not waste everyoneās time here.ā
She didnāt want to skip class just to have a staring contest with Yuan Silei.
Upon hearing Ye Lengāanās intention to leave again, Yuan Silei became anxious. āWait, Lengan, I need to ask you for something.ā
At this statement, a flicker of surprise crossed Ye Lenganās eyes, followed by a moment of understanding.
Originally, she felt that Yuan Sileiās 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 wasnāt as difficult as Yuan
Silei had anticipated. After taking a deep breath, Yuan Silei continued, āLengan, Iām truly out of options. My familyās company is facing some issues, and apart from you, no one else can help. So, I have no choice but to seek your assistance.ā
She genuinely didnāt want to verbalize this matter. However, it was apparent that Ye Lengan had run out of patience. She wasnāt 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 ā only Ye Lengan could help her now.
After hearing Yuan Sileiās plea, a shadow crossed Ye Lengāanās eyes. āYuan Silei, Iām still a student, and Iāve been expelled from the Ye family.. What do you think 1 can do to help your company now?ā
