Chapter 33
The Persuasion
In the milk tea shop outside the school.
Ye Leng’an and Yuan Silei sat opposite each other, each holding a cup of milk tea in their hands.
“Leng’an, what is the principal want to see you about?” Yuan Silei asked with concern. “I heard that Uncle Ye and Auntie Lin left in a rage.”
“It’s nothing.” Ye Leng’an bit on the straw and said nonchalantly, “It’s just that we failed to reach an agreement on some things.”
There was a trace of carelessness in her understatement. It was obvious that she did not care about this matter at all.
However, Yuan Sile thought that Ye Leng’an was just pretending to be strong. “Leng’an, if you’re unhappy, just tell me. Although I might not be able to give you any good advice, it will make you feel better if you say it out.”
“You really think too much.” Ye Leng’an shook her head in amusement. “I’m really fine. The world moves on if someone is gone. Many times, when people are no longer destined for each other, it’s time to separate.”
Just like she and Yuan Silei, they would eventually part one day. When Yuan Silei stood on Ye Xiyuan’s side, it was time.
“I find what you said very mysterious.” Yuan Silei shook her head. “Leng’an, why do I feel like you’ve changed a lot recently?”
“Is that so?” Ye Leng’an smiled. “Maybe it’s because I’ve been through a lot. I’ve grown up, and I’ve thought about things more comprehensively!”
“Leng’an, you…” Yuan Silei stirred the milk tea in her cup with the straw in her hand. When she looked at Ye Leng’an, words died on her lips.
“If you have something to say, just say it!” Ye Leng’an said with amusement, “We’ve been friends for so many years. You can say anything you want.”
“Actually, it’s nothing.” Yuan Silei hesitated for a long time before she finally spoke up. “Are you and Ye Xiyuan have to be opposed to each other like this? Actually, isn’t it better for you two to get along with each other? I think Uncle Ye and Auntie Lin also want to see that.”
Since they had been friends for so many years, Yuan Silei knew very well about Ye Leng’an’s feelings for Ye Li and Lin Wanqin. So she tried to persuade Ye Leng’an.
A hint of darkness flashed past Ye Leng’an’s eyes. “Silei, do you think that there’s a chance to ease the tension between Ye Xiyuan and me?”
Even though Yuan Silei didn’t know what had happened, she seemed to start speaking for Ye Xiyuan now. It seemed that she was really slow in her previous life! She actually didn’t notice that her good friend had already started to change.
“Leng’an, actually, there isn’t any blood feud between the two of you.” Yuan Silei continued to persuade her, ” Besides, I don’t think that Ye Xiyuan is a domineering person. Moreover, you two have a connection. Isn’t it good to continue the relationship between the two families?”
“How do you know what kind of person Ye Xiyuan is?” Ye Leng’an didn’t answer but raised another question. “You didn’t spend time with Ye Xiyuan before. Besides, Ye Xiyuan and I had been switched for so many years. How do you know that she doesn’t hold me in hatred for occupying her position for so many years?”
“No, she doesn’t.” Yuan Silei blurted out, “Leng’an, you don’t know that when Zhao Yanran badmouthed you, Ye Xiyuan still spoke in your defense! Moreover, she even explained to the other students that she didn’t blame you for what happened back then.”
Yuan Silei didn’t like Ye Xiyuan either in the past, because she thought Ye Leng’an was criticized by others because of Ye Xiyuan. However, when everyone else was condemning Ye Leng’an today, Ye Xiyuan stepped forward and explained for Ye Leng’an’s sake.
Moreover, after the incident, Ye Xiyuan came to her, hoping that she could persuade Ye Leng’an to return to the Ye Family. Ye Xiyuan even said that she wished to get along well with Ye Leng’an.
Seeing the sincere look on Ye Xiyuan’s face, Yuan Silei really didn’t think that Ye Xiyuan was acting and could tell that Ye Xiyuan really wanted Ye Leng’an to return to the Ye Family.
“Si Lei, since you mentioned it, I’ll make it clear to you now.” Ye Leng’an wiped the casual smile off her face and said seriously, “I will never return to that Ye family. It’s impossible for Ye Xiyuan and I to get along like ordinary classmates, not to mention sisters.”
Yuan Silei opened her mouth as if she wanted to continue persuading. However, when she sensed Ye Leng’an’s firm attitude, she couldn’t continue.
In the end, she could only sigh helplessly. However, this did not mean that she gave up just like that. She still felt that it was Ye Leng’an’s best choice to return to the Ye family.
Ye Leng’an looked at the scenery outside the window, a cold glint flashing across her eyes. She felt a little regretful.
Maybe her friendship with Yuan Silei would really come to an end. Yuan Silei might do this for her own good, but she really did not have the luck to enjoy her kindness.
