Chapter 20
Li Deze
“It’s not my fault.” Ye Leng’an looked around and said firmly, “I had nothing to do with the swapping thing back then. I didn’t do anything wrong. I was just a baby.”
Previously, she thought that she did something wrong because she had snatched Ye Xiyuan’s parents away for so many years. That was why she had always tolerated Ye Xiyuan, but her tolerance gave Ye Xiyuan the chance to hurt her back. Now she wouldn’t let that happen again.
“How shameless!” Zhao Yanran obviously didn’t expect such a reply. “You were the one who snatched Ye Xiyuan’s parents away for so many years. Otherwise, she would have been the daughter of the Ye family and enjoyed a good life. Why don’t you feel any guilt towards her?”
Other people around also cast disdainful looks at Ye Leng’an. Apparently, everyone was on Ye Xiyuan’s side.
Ye Xiyuan lowered her head and looked very sad, but there was a gloat in her eyes that no one else could see.
In the past few days, with the help of the system, she had left a good name at Sheng’an High School. Therefore, whenever she had a conflict with Ye Leng’an, the others would stand on her side.
“Why should I feel guilty?” Ye Leng’an looked very calm. She even had a smile on her face. “If you want to seek justice for Ye Xiyuan, then you should look for the person who made that mistake and had us swapped at that time instead of blaming me here.”
“You…” Zhao Yanran was so angry that she couldn’t speak.
“What happened?”
A cold male voice came out, and a handsome man walked out from the crowd.
He had good features and a striking temperament. He was still the focus of everyone even in the crowd.
“Brother Deze.” Ye Xiyuan raised her head. There were a few drops of tears on her delicate face, and she looked pathetic. “It’s nothing. I was just talking to my sister.”
After saying that, Ye Xiyuan hurriedly wiped the tears off her face with her hand. It seemed that she wanted to pretend that nothing had happened.
“Leng’an, you should apologize to Xiyuan.” Li Deze stood directly beside Ye Xiyuan. He looked at Ye Leng’an with disapproval. “It’s not Xiyuan’s fault that you left the Ye family. Moreover, Uncle Ye and Auntie Lin tried to persuade you to stay, but you chose to leave. You shouldn’t vent your anger on Xiyuan.”
In his opinion, Ye Leng’an must be the crux of the conflict. Although he hadn’t known Ye Xiyuan for long, he could tell that she was a very gentle girl who wouldn’t hurt others at will.
However, Ye Leng’an was different. The Ye family and the Li family had been friends for generations. He and Ye Leng’an had known each other since they were young, so he knew very well that Ye Leng’an was an unruly and willful person, the typical young lady of a rich family.
He naturally stood on Ye Xiyuan’s side in their conflict.
Ye Leng’an froze for a moment when Li Deze showed up.
The two families were old friends, and they always planned to be connected by marriage. In the past, she regarded Li Deze as her fiancé. Even though she found out later that it was impossible for her to be with Li Deze, she still liked him.
However, she did not expect that in her previous life, Li Deze lured her out for Ye Xiyuan, and made her lose both her legs.
